Chapter 217: Team Slash Dog

~Gasper V. POV~

[Japan, Kuoh Academy, Occult Research Club]

I gathered up as much courage to ask her what happened, "Big sis. Tell me everything."

Big Sis's smile dropped as she explained to me in a calm tone hugging me lightly and patting my head, "After helping you escape, they threw me in a cage. And put me in the deepest place in the castle."

Tears were already gathering in my eyes as I continued to listen to Big Sis's words hurting me deeply, "They starved me. Only giving me enough food so that I don't die. And they gave me blood each time they forced me to use my Sacred Gear. The little energy the blood gave me I lost when I used the Gear."

Feeling my tears fall this wasn't fair. While I was feeling sorry for myself locked up in my room Big Sis was suffering all alone. Feeling her touch my face, she said in a kind tone, "Don't cry, Gasper. This is the world we live in. I had lost hope until he came."

The mentioning of the two I turned my attention to her asking in a confused tone, "You mean the humans? How did they save you?"

She smiled laughing lightly as she commented about them and how they saved her much to my surprise she said in a clear tone, "I was unconscious after my Sacred Gear, but Ryuko came to transport me out while her lover Mash dealt with the Vampires. We no longer must worry about them ever again. I will be eternally grateful to him."

Really… she held me tighter as I returned the favor. I then asked her in a curious tone what she planned to do next, "So… what's your plan, big sis?"

She only hugged me tighter as she spoke in a calm tone gazing at me, "For now simply being by your side. I truly missed the years we've been apart and I want to make up for lost time."

I felt happy when she said that. Just for now a moment for us…

~Third POV~

[Later, Japan, Kuoh Streets]

After finishing explaining the two soon began to leave the area with Ryuko groaning about the political side of the Supernatural World in an annoyed tone, "Argh… seriously how many dumb laws do they have in a Devil's society? Aren't they you know fucking evil or some shit man...?"

Mash simply shrugged his shoulders having the Devils explain about that incident in a calm tone as they walked down the streets, "Pretty much. About every world has their own stupid laws for some reason or another. Frankly, this is a good way to show the Supernatural World our debut and not to fuck with us."

She raised her eyebrow at that remark as she curtly replied with her arms crossed scoffing at his words, "Oh sure. Make enough noise for that Super Devil or whatever to pop up and piss off one of the Satan's. That will go splendidly well."

He simply chuckled as they were heading home for the night. Just as they were heading home, they both paused as they felt a rather familiar sensation as their eyes locked towards the man standing menacingly with Senketsu responding in a stoic tone, "Ah, must be the villain of the week."

Up ahead, there was a man. He was wearing a suspicious-looking trench coat and a rather fancy fedora that didn't hide the fierce glare directed in their direction. Mash raised an eyebrow using his [TOOS] to view his level.

[Dohnaseek Lv.20 Fallen Angel]

Both raised an eyebrow at Dohnassek as he spoke in an arrogant tone looking down on them for being human, "You fit the description given to us. To think that Raynare was brought to the brink of death by such a… frail being is simply unsightly."

Mash simply responded in a neutral tone as his [Unseen Hands] were summoned scoffing at the Fallen Angel's arrogance, "Frail being? Funny coming from an oversized crow. However, you saved us the trouble."

*SWOOOSH*

*BAM*

Pinning Dohnassek down immediately they both walked towards the Fallen struggling to get up trying to speak in an outraged tone, "Ah! How the hell are you – Hmmm!!!"

Stuffing his mouth one of the [Unseen Hands] Mash passively saw through his memories with mild amusement speaking in a stern tone, "Hmm… I think I should take you to your boss. Now just hold on tight buddy."

*Pop*

Using his Authority of Lust, [Faker] turned Dohnassek into a small pin of his ugly face putting it into his pocket as Ryuko asked in a curious tone, "You gonna take him to his boss? Now this I gotta see."

He smiled at her attitude as he took her hand leading her to the best place for dinner in an excited tone, "Yup! And we'll be going to dinner too. Trust me this will be to die for according to its lack of wiki"

She laughed lightly as she followed him leading her to their next location. Said location happened to be a bar…

~Mash B. POV~

[Nighttime, Japan, Kuoh Town, Black Dog BAR]

We soon entered a bar. The inside was different than what I was expecting. I can practically tell the high-class items as I grinned. They have a style to my liking.

The seats were sofas with dark red leather arranged in a 'U' shape. The lighting was low all around the bar. The stage at the center was empty. There were also a few stools at the bar same red leather theme.

When I get to the bar, I look at the bartender. He seems to be a young man with short black hair and pale grey eyes. He wore a classic bartender uniform. White shirt with a black vest his body build was average, but I could feel his power. It was compressed like mine I could tell how strong he is. An ordinary high class would just walk past him without noticing anything.

[Tobio Ikuse Lv.60 God of the Blade]

Level 60 huh? Must be strong with either skill or ability. This case is his Sacred Gear. So this is Tobio Ikuse. Leader of Team Slash Dog, and holder of the Canis Lykaon. One of the 13 Longinus.

He soon turned his gaze at us and smiled as he spoke in a friendly tone, "Good evening. Aren't you a bit young to be here?"

I smirked as I took a seat as did Ryuko in a calm tone locking our eyes and being blunt about his identity, "Aren't you a bit too strong to be playing bartender? One would think that a holder of 1 of the 13 would find better ways to pass the time."

His smile disappeared from his face. He frowned at me being blunt eyeing me carefully in a cautious tone, "What do you want?"

I smirked as Ryuko spoke with a confident grin trolling poor dog boy, "The strongest drink you have and your food menu."

He seemed stunned by her words as he stumbled muttering, "Huh?"

I laughed lightly at his attitude as I spoke explaining to the man in a calm tone eyeing him amused by his actions, "You heard her. We came across this place by chance as I was hoping a member of Grigori could call the big boss and have a meal enjoying ourselves. We don't give a damn who owns the place. You don't make any trouble for us. We won't make any trouble for you."

He looked at us dumbfounded in a confused tone and asked, "But… your words?"

I can't believe he fell for that, messing with people can be fun at times. I clarified for the man in a sheepish tone, "I wasn't making any threats. I was genuinely curious. Why does a man who has the power to kill a god work as a bartender?"

He dropped his head a bit and let out a long sigh. He threw us the menu and left in a bored tone, "Boredom. Here's the menu I'll get your drinks shortly."

Leaving us alone Ryuko took the menu as Senketsu commented on the choices, "Hmm… the prices seem fair surprisingly enough. Doubtful any alcohol could affect you two anymore."

Sigh… yup. Ryuko with her Life Fibers made it almost hard for her to get drunk and my excuse is for my [Dragon Reactor Core] burning through the alcohol making it hard for me to get drunk.

No, we aren't alcoholics since we only taste these drinks to pass the time or if we have a hard time dealing with someone's stupidity. The main cause for today? Devil Bureaucracy.

Gazing at the menu I was in the mood for some fries and chicken nuggets. Possibly a martini on the side. I wonder how the Supernatural Alcohol tastes like I wonder?

As if my question the universe provided the answer with Tobio offering us a cup in a neutral tone our drinks, "Here's your drink. Specially made for supernatural human consumption the Wonderland Vodka. Add a bit of Ki and condensed Mana stones in the alcohol to give a human a taste of the other side."

He put our drinks down it had a crystal blue glow to it. I could smell the aroma smiling at such a fine way to create this drink complementing it as I ordered, "Great. Now for my order, I'll have some martini, some fries, and nuggets as well."

Ryuko took a sip of her drink with a smile as she spoke her order in an impressed tone placing her menu down, "Whoa! This tastes good. As for me some fries, a burger, and the best tea you got."

Tobio nodded as he clicked his tablet making me frown as he spoke in a calm tone, "The food will arrive shortly. Using magic to cook, makes it a lot faster. So, who – why are you frowning as if I killed your family member."

I merely huffed at him in disdain as Ryuko sighed explaining the situation in a calm tone to him, "Sigh… don't mind him he's a bit old-fashioned cook preferring to make his food with his hands instead of magic. His Mash Bastion and I'm Ryuko Matoi nice to meet you… Ikuse-san right?"

He smiled nodding his head and giving us a friendly smile as he replied in a calm tone, "No issue Matoi. You can call me Tobio if you want. But can I ask how did your boyfriend know I have a Longinus? And which one at that? I'm quite proud of my ability to suppress my power?"

That was when I opened my mouth with a light grin ignoring his skipping cooking process in a calm tone, "I can feel it. Call it a sixth sense if you want. And I know there is another one here, but I need to be in their presence a bit longer to tell which one they have."

He just whistles impressed by my power not knowing I knew of this beforehand. He soon said in a calm tone, "Wheee~ You can tell that much huh? Well, she will be on stage in a minute. So, try guessing which one she has. You have 12 guesses remaining."

Just as Tobio stopped speaking. The lights turned on and landed on a figure who was walking out the staff door.

*Tmp*

*Tmp*

Hearing her heels echoed across the bar. She's a beautiful voluptuous young woman with long flowing blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes. She was in her mid-twenties her charm ensnared all the men in the bar. If I didn't know any better I would say she was a devil or a fallen by her figure.

[Lavinia Reni Lv.60 Weidler of Absolute Demise]

But then she started to sing, and my head went blank. Her voice sounded soothing and beautiful that even Ryuko's eyes widened with her mumbling in a stunned tone, "Damn she can sing…"

That was when someone sat down to my left and spoke in a charismatic tone, "Reni's voice is still one of the best I have heard over the years. I think Gabriel is better than her."

I turned around to see a tall man who looked like he was in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs, and a black goatee. He had a lazy smirk on his face.

[Azazel Lv.? Blade Governor]

Azazel huh? About fucking time.
