Weird Engagement Party

Another day in Osakabehime's room as a gathering place.

Luckily, Osakabehime wasn't angry when they stayed in her room, because Tamamo would clean the room for her.

Lavinia was outside at Tobio's bar. It seemed there was something Tobio wanted to give Lavinia after she moved.

Nyx and Shuten were drinking the King's Wine now, chatting about their adventurous life.

Meanwhile, Ryota looked at Nyx suspiciously.

"Looks like you are staying at my house to have an easy life huh, Nyx?"

In just one day of living with this goddess, he had already seen some of her true personality.

Waking up late, eating only the food he likes, and currently, she is drinking his wine to her heart's content.

This morning, after she found out Ryota had ambrosia inside his Gate of Babylon, she even asked him to serve it as breakfast.

Nyx ignored Ryota's complaint and said lazily to him

"Don't talk nonsense, boy. I'm a guest here. Have you ever heard the expression that a guest is king?"

"The correct term is 'customer is king', but you are not my customer..." replied Ryota, and then he looked at the clothes Nyx was wearing now.

She was still wearing the virgin killer clothes from yesterday.

"Hey Nyx, you never change your clothes?"

"I don't need to change my clothes, after all these are magic clothes. They are always clean." said Nyx as she drank the wine.

Ryota nodded.

"That's right, I actually wanted this magic clothes."

Nyx smiled teasingly at Ryota's words.

"Hoho, so you want to take my clothes and strip me?"

"Fufu, honey. If you want to strip someone, I'd be happy to be your victim." Shuten said while licking his lips.

"You become a pervert these days, Master!" shouted Tamamo.

Ryota twitched his lips and said.

"What do you mean! That clothes also counts as treasure! I just like collecting treasures with different effects like that! Don't you think that clothes that can block all attacks from virgins are very rare!? I want to meet the designer of these clothes!"

"I don't know the designer, but Hades gave me these clothes. You'll have to ask him later." said Nyx, shaking her head.

"...Ah never mind. Dealing with Hades gives me a headache. The last time I saw him, he asked me to be a part of his Realm of the Dead. No, there's no way I could join a team full of skulls and reapers. Their atmosphere is too gloomy for me."

"...Yes. I'm sorry for being a gloomy hikikomori…"

Osakabehime heard the word 'gloomy' become sensitive and felt that word directed at her.

"...Eh? Hey, Himecchi. I didn't talk about you!"

"Aaahh... I know that... Who likes this beautiful princess except Ryo-chan? I don't have any real friends... I'm just a forgotten fox youkai who doesn't have any special features because Tamamocchi is more popular than me... I don't care anyway… I want to stay in this room forever…" said Osakabehime in a monotone tone while rolling on the floor.

While Ryota was trying to cheer her up, the other girls had the same thought now.

'This girl is so annoying...'

Suddenly, Ryota got a magical communication call from Mephisto.

"Mephistocchi! You work really fast, huh! You're done dealing with Olympus!?" asked Ryota excitedly.

"DON'T JOKE WITH ME, BRAT!"

Ryota's ear was ringing now.

It seemed that Mephisto was furious.

Finally, after a few seconds, he replied to Mephisto.

"Hey, calm down! You don't have to shout that loud!"

"You're the most troublesome person I've dealt with! First, the matter of the 'heroes' you summoned! And then, the desire to live in the territory of the devil and youkai! And now, you want me to settle your problem with Olympus!? Give me a break!"

Ryota scratched his cheek, and said.

"Well, what do you want me to do? Lick your feet?"

"...Don't joke about things like that, Ryota. If Gilgamesh were still alive, he would have killed you immediately for being a disgraceful descendant."

"I know, I know."

"I just wanted to let you know, all the 'heroes' you summoned are trouble-free now. Congratulations, I guess."

"Yaay! I can go on a date outside with Master!"

"Fufu, now I can go shopping for alcohol any time."

"Aahh… I'm a hikikomori anyway… Going outside is none of my thing…"

"...Hey Ryota. What happened to Osakabehime? She sounds so gloomy?"

"Don't think about it... Is that all Mephistocchi? I have to cheer for Himecchi now, see you later!" said Ryota.

"Wait! I want to ask you something! You're free now, right?"

"Free? I'm super busy! I'm playing this new game Himecchi bought and I want to finish it today! If there's no mission, I'll end the call!"

"Well, it's not a mission, more like a request. Can you come to someone's engagement party in my stead?"

"No. Bye!"

Ryota ended the call.

Seconds later, he got another call.

"Listen to me first, you idiot! Think of this as an exchange of your request for this Olympus matter! You just need to attend the party! I don't have time to do that right now!"

"What? What kind of thing is keeping our leader Mephisto Pheles-sama so busy?"

"The usual. There are traitors in our organization so I need to check it one more time. Apart from your new request, my work is piling up right now."

Traitors in Grauzauberer were usually common. Either change the organization or they become stray magicians. If this could keep Mephisto busy, it would mean that the number of traitors was too large or the person who betrayed was a high-ranking magician.

He felt a little sorry for Mephisto, so he decided to accept it.

"...Alright, whose party is this? I just need to attend right? So I don't need to prepare gifts?"

"Do you remember the Phenex clan I talked about when I taught you?"

Ryota tried to remember the devil clan named Phenex.

"Phenex... A clan that has the power to control fire like the Himejima clan and additional regeneration power like Immortal? That's interesting. Maybe I can copy that ability too."

"Be careful Ryota. Some Devils don't really like it when humans can use their clan's abilities. The clan's third son is engaged to Satan's sister. I think she is also studying at your school."

"Satan's sister? Rias Gremory? Hahahahaha!"

"Yes, Sirzech-sama's sister is Rias. I should at least send a replacement if I can't go there. Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing. I just think devil culture is pretty funny when you bet on who will be your husband in rating games. I already thought it was strange since she has a game rating while Sona's peerage doesn't have one. Give me the recording later, Mephistocchi! clan Gremory fight against clan Phenex! This really looks interesting!"

"Really? Then get ready. The party's already started."

Ryota blinked his eyes, slightly taken aback. Then, a few seconds later, he said.

"...Eh?"

"Yes. The party is today. I'll send you the teleportation paper right now."

He looked at the paper that suddenly appeared in his hand. It seemed this paper only worked for one teleportation.

Maybe he should have made something like this that instantly teleported people into his house. Seemed useful for emergency escape.

"You said the party has already started? What should I do if Satan is angry that I came late to his sister's party?"

"That's your problem! By the way, you can bring companions. I already told all the leaders in the three great factions that your 'heroes' are free from their troubles so there won't be any trouble for you. Good luck!"

"Fine."

Ryota ended the call, then looked around.

"So, who wants to join me?"

"I don't want to, Ryo-chan. A loud party with a lot of people around is not good for my hikikomori heart."

"Me too. I'd rather chat here with Nyx drinking wine in the moonlight. But I'd like some alcohol from the underworld. Bring me a souvenir please, okay sweetie?"

'How selfish they are…' thought Ryota.

"How about you, Tamamocchi?"

"Of course, I will join you, Master! I would like to see the wedding gown of the bride for our future reference!" said Tamamo while smiling at him.

Ryota felt touched and shed tears.

"I knew it was my best choice when I summoned you that day! Thank you, Tamamocchi!" said Ryota while hugging her.

"Mikon! I don't mind us hugging for a long time, but we're already late, Master!"

"That's right. Hey, Himecchi." Ryota let go of his embrace and walked towards Osakabehime.

Osakabehime looked at Ryota with a gloomy face.

"...What?"

Ryota squatted near Osakabehime, who was lying on the floor, then held her chin.

Osakabehime was confused, until Ryota started kissing her lips.

"Mmmnn... Ryo-chan?" she broke the kiss and blinked her eyes.

Instead of answering her, Ryota held her head, and continued to kiss her.

He started to nibble her lip and inserted his tongue inside.

Osakabehime moaned softly, and became bolder. She started to fight his tongue, hugged around his neck, while Ryota stroked her long black hair.

They continued their kiss for about a minute until…

"Enough!"

Tamamo pinched Ryota's ear and broke their kiss.

"Oops I got carried away. Cheer up, Himecchi! I will give you another one when I get back! Bye!"

Osakabehime looked at Ryota while her face turned red. The previous gloomy aura was gone.

She gave Ryota a bright smile and replied to him.

"Hehehe. I'll be waiting for that, Ryo-chan!"

Ryota and Tamamo used the teleportation paper, and disappeared from the room.

"Is that how that boy cheers people up?" asked Nyx to Shuten.

"Fufufu. Only on special occasions."
