Prelude Pt 2

There were two old men in front of them laughing happily together. One was a middle-aged man with a moustache, who wears a crown and toga while the other has the appearance of a friendly-looking, elderly man, with a well-built body.

They are Zeus and Poseidon. Zeus is the Greek God of Sky and Lightning as well as the former leader of Olympus and the Greek Gods. Poseidon is the God of the Seas.

"Zeus, Poseidon. We meet again." Azazel smiled at them.

" Aren't you still going to find a wife, Aza-boy? Being still single feels lonely doesn't it?!" Zeus taunted.

" I can introduce someone! There are many great women in the seaaaa!!!! Gahahahahaha!!!!! " Poseidon laughed hysterically.

" Ah, you don't need to do such an unnecessary thing." Azazel muttered.

" I have arrived, you guys."

Everyone looked at a chibi dragon floating in the air. Rias blinked. "That voice. Is that you, Tannin-sama?" Rias asked him. Tannin nodded.

" So cute. I wanna hug it. " Asia muttered to herself. Tannin looked at them seriously.

"That kid I said to be the strongest youth! But I don't think you're inferior to him! So go at him with all of your might! "

" Of course, Tannin-sama. Please look forward to our victory. " Rias nodded at him.

" Odin-sama!!!!" Rossweisse shouted while pointing at Odin who was standing far away from her.

" Shit! This is bad!" Odin shouted and tried to run away from the scene but he was stopped by someone grabbing his cloak and dragging him back.

Rossweisse howled angrily. "You ran out of luck meeting me here you shitty geezer!!! Who's that new Valkyrie next to you!!! " Rossweisse pointed at a giant man standing beside Odin.

The man stepped up. He is a tall and broad muscular man with light blonde, shoulder-length hair, and pupil-less eyes.

He wears a winged helmet and a white cloak fastened at the front with three buttons and a dark red Hagal rune on the left-hand side.

He wears a red cape held by a pin on both shoulders, gauntlets on either arm, black pants with a white X-shaped belt and disc-shaped buckle, and white shin guards with discs on his kneecaps.

Underneath his mask, he has black sideways M-shaped marks covering the sides of his face, and wears a thin black braid around his scalp.

"Greetings, Miss Rossweisse!! I am Gerard Valkyrie! And yes, Valkyrie is my last name! Please to meet you!" Gerard introduced himself while holding out his hand. Stunned by how straightforward he was being, Rossweisse slowly shook his hand and backed away a little.

" Umm.... Hi Gerard, are you Odin-sama's new attendant?" Rossweisse asked him. Gerard nodded.

"Of course! I was training with my sword, Hoffnung when he approached me and asked me to be his attendant. It's a miracle, I would say. Hehe." Gerard explained while grinning a little. If you know you know.

" Oh....Do you mind me teaching him a lesson on abandoning me? "

" Sure, do as you wish Just don't bring me into it. "

" Gerard you bastard!!!! "

" Get over here, Odin-sama!!!!! "

" Ahhhh!!!!!!"

After that whole thing, the Gremory Group including Azazel got guided to their own personal waiting rooms.

Rather than a room, it's more like a spacious floor, and there are table sets so they can take a break(Green tea, snacks), and even training equipment.

It's a place with everything available. Members who will be doing some exercise got changed into their jersey and have started to do some warm ups.

If they don't, they won't be able to unleash their full power during the match. There were still six hours left before the match.

So Rias decided they should dedicate some time for light exercising and the rest to relax. Riser visited them which was surprising, even to Ravel who was with them.

She never thought he'd had the courage to meet them again due to having massive PTSD from his fight with Issei.

They talked about the popularity of Rias' match with Sairaorg. Riser commented that it will be one of the crucial moments for Rias and her peerage.

Riser although embarrassed that he said this out loud, will be rooting for her all the way to which Rias smiled and thanked him for his support.

It seems that their rocky relationship was fixed. After that, Riser offered some more advice before leaving, stating that he had some hard training to do with his peerage.

"Also I leave Ravel to you. She's as spoiled as Rias. Even so she's earnest. I will burn you if you make her cry, okay? " Riser threatened them.

" I-it's none of your business, big brother! " Ravel responded with a red face. Confirming that, Raiser laughed at himself saying "I sure have become senile" and left the room.

Thanks to his encouragement, everyone can go forward with the game with even higher spirits.

But then the door opened again, and Riser appeared once more. " I almost forgot to tell you. I was asked by Sirzechs-sama to call the Hakairyūtei before coming here. He asked him to show up in the VIP room. It seems he wants to tell him something." Riser looked around the room and found that Issei wasn't here.

" It seems he's not here. Can you call him or something, Rias?" Riser asked her. Rias nodded.

" Will do Riser."

.

.

"Alright, Rias. Love you." Issei smiled as he hung up the phone call with Rias. She just informed him that Sirzechs wanted to meet him in the VIP room.

He entered the room where Sirzechs should be. It's a room which has lots of expensive looking household furniture.It's spacious and gorgeous.

"Sorry for calling you out of the blue, Issei." Sirzechs apologized.

"Nah it's fine. I was walking around aimlessly anyway. What's the thing you wanted to tell me? "Issei asked while sitting down on the soft couch. Sirzechs sighed in satisfaction as he sat down on the couch in front of him.

"I wanted to finalize the last details about our match. We're gonna discuss about where we're walking out from and those kinds of stuff. "

And then the discussion started. It was a short but informative one. Issei was also told by Sirzechs to not hold anything back and neither would he.

They were serious here. This wasn't about entertainment, this was about Issei proving that he's something in this world.

"The barrier around the crowd and stadium is cast by me, and the other three Satans. We used our full power for this. " Sirzechs added. Issei nodded for the fifth time in this discussion.

" What's that? " Issei pointed at the box sitting idly beside Sirzechs.

" Oh this? These are fanmail from the biggest Hakairyūtei fans in the world, which is everyone. Here." Sirzechs handed him the box.

" You keeo yourselves busy. Michael and Gabriel are gonna be here soon. They're here to meet Elohim-dono.....
