"I'm sorry for taking too long, Riku-sama." Kurotabou greeted me from behind as he stepped out of the entrance.

I was waiting for him with Azazel as we chatted about the plan later.

"Oh, you're here," I said to Kurotabo as I crossed my arms.

"Yes." Answered Kurotabo. He bowed his head and then asked, "May I know what do you need me for, Riku-sama?"

"We will sneak to the vampire world. We will kidnap a girl and wreak havoc, so I need you for that."

With just that word, Kurotabo understood what I meant and nodded his head.

"Matoi, right?"

"Correct." I grinned at him.

"Matoi?" Azazel asked from the side, "Now you got me interested. What is that?" He rubbed his chin as he looked at me with an interested gaze.

I smirked at Azazel and raised my chin, "Don't waste your time, Azazel. It's a technique that can only be used by me."

"Only be used by you?" Asked Azazel, "Now you got my interest. If that's the case, your father can't use this technique called Matoi either?"

"He can't. This is a technique that I created in this world. This guy, Kurotabo, is the one who helps me to create this technique."

"It's nice to meet you." Said Kurotabo as he looked at Azazel.

"Yes, nice to meet you too." Answered Azazel. "Hmm, interesting. Well, I will be able to see the technique later, right?"

"Maybe?" I answered him with a grin, "So, where are your subordinates?"

"You are no fun… Well, you know the place well. You have visited that place a few times."

"Oh? That bar, huh."

"Yep, shall we go now?"

Azazel extended his hand and created a magic circle under our feet. "Are you ready?" He asked us.

"Anytime," I answered.

"Yes."

"Then, here we go."

The Magic circle flew up and engulfed us.

Our vision distorted, and now we were inside the familiar bar.

I looked around and saw a few unfamiliar faces.

"Oh?! Is he the one that defeats you, Vali?" A guy with a golden headband asked Vali as he nudged his elbow against him.

"Eh, Vali-sama was defeated?" A girl with blonde hair who sat beside Vali exclaimed. She was wearing a magician's clothes. "Hmm? He's kind of handsome." She smiled and covered her mouth with her hand/

"Le Fay, keep your manner." A blonde-haired boy beside the blonde girl said as he fixed his glasses. He then looked at me and said, "Nice to meet you, Nura Riku. I am Arthur Pendragon."

"Ah! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Le Fay Pendragon! Nice to meet you, Nura Riku-san!"

"Ou, maybe you already know me or maybe you don't. My name is Bikou! Nice to meetcha!"

I didn't see Georg that Vali kidnapped anywhere. Maybe he was still in Vali's base?

They, Team Vali, introduced themselves to me. Vali ignored me as he was chatting with Tobio.

I didn't see Reni anywhere, but I could feel her energy on the first floor alongside the girl that I met that night.

However, why did Vali bring his team along? He did know that we are going to enter the Vampire World and there was a chance of someone from the Khaos Brigade to be there.

"Nice to meet you too," I answered while still crossing my arms as I turned to Bikou. "Bikou, huh? Are you the old monkey's descendant?"

"Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows and then pointed his index finger at me, "You… I think we can get along well."

"Is that so?" I just answered calmly and then turned to Kurotabo. "This one is Kurotabo, a member of my Hyakki Yakkou."

Kurotabo put his hand on his chest and bowed his head a little, "My name is Kurotabo, it's nice to meet you. Maybe my ability is insignificant compared to Riku-sama, but I will do my best to help with anything."

"Alright!" Suddenly Azazel raised his voice and gather attention to himself, "Vali, where is that girl? I don't want to meet her because she's scary but… you said that she's here already?"

Vali turned to Azazel and said, "Wait for a few seconds, she was still in the bathroom." He then pointed his index finger to the door near the counter.

My gaze followed his finger, but I couldn't feel anyone in the bathroom.

No, maybe couldn't feel was wrong. It was because the energy inside the bathroom was too big, I didn't even realize that there was someone there.

Sweat began to pour out of my forehead, "Oi, Vali." I called Vali with a cold tone, "Who is that girl that you talked about? Surely, it's not Ophis, right?"

Even Draigg and Albion's energy were fell short of this one. The gods in Takamagahara and Sirzechs pale in comparison.

This was the first time that I felt energy this big since I learned Senjutsu. I tried to appear calm and smiled.

It was surprising to feel massive energy that I didn't even realize. But now, I managed to collect my thought.

"Riku-sama? Are you fine?" Kurotabo asked with a worried tone.

"Yeah," I answered him, "So, Vali. Don't tell me the one inside that bathroom is Ophis?"

Somehow, Vali just smirked at me and it made me irritated. Not only that, Azazel looked away from me too.

'This old sly bastard.'

"Bastard, you said that you know someone who could enter the Vampire World. I never expected that someone is Ophis. Do you want to die, huh?"

Azazel turned at me while waving his hand, "Well well, she's harmless. Not only that, Vali managed to snatch her away from Khaos Brigade. Isn't he doing a good job?"

Good job your ass!

I wanted to scream at him. However, he didn't say anything wrong.

This situation was better than I had expected. From Ophis's energy right now, I knew that Rizevim had yet to put his hand on her.

'Isn't this a chance to destroy the Khaos Brigade?'

As I thought that, the door of the bathroom opened and a girl with gothic lolita clothes appeared from behind the door. She had black hair and black eyes as deep as the abyss.

She turned to me and tilted her head cutely, "Is he the one?" Asked Ophis.

"Yeah, he's the one that can help you." Answered Vali.

Somehow, I got a really bad feeling about this conversation.

Ophis nodded her head and smiled, "I see. Finally, I will be able to get my silence back. You." She pointed her index finger at me, "Help me to get rid of Great Red."

When she said that, I literally cursed inside my mind, 'Fuck.'
