Chapter 188 – Signing Peace Treaty

The peace conference continued without any problem. We exchanged information, decided on the clause of the treaty, and finally, we signed the peace treaty.

The treaty between the seven sides has been signed today. We were now officially allies. Due to me attending this conference, I was asked to sign the treaty too as the supervisor.

Not only that, I was trusted to keep the information about Khaos Brigade by them. They would send some people to inform me of the information that they knew in full detail after the friendly competition.

I thought they were joking, but it seemed like they were not. They actually trusted me in this one. When I asked why they trusted me, Sirzechs said that I was the only one who could run whenever and from anyone.

I couldn't deny him due to my pride in my ability, so I just boasted more. That was my only mistake at that conference.

They trusted me more and would ask for my cooperation when the time came.

Well, my job was only guarding the information, so I agreed with them. In the peace treaty, my faction had no responsibility to the other factions, while they were supposed to help us if we were in danger.

That was the only reason why I agreed to the job of keeping the information. I had gotten free helpers.

The agendas today were finished. Michael stood up and closed the peace conference.

"Well then, as the treaty has been signed, I declare that the peace conference is over. There is a party held at the colosseum after this; please enjoy it."

The other leaders stood up after the meeting was adjourned.

"Well then, it's time to drink! Azazel, do you want to come with me?" Odin was the most spirited one.

"Oh? I don't mind. However, it seems your attendant is more eager to drink more than me." He glanced at Rossweisse, who was fidgeting behind Odin.

When she was mentioned, her face turned red, and she turned away.

Odin looked at her and laughed. "Hahahaha, if you keep doing that, no man will come to you, you know? Try to loosen yourself a little!"

"Odin-sama!" Rossweisse shouted in embarrassment. "It's not like that! Besides, I don't think any man will like someone like me."

"Oh, but I think that almost every man wants to date you. Isn't that right, Riku?" Azazel suddenly called out to me when I was about to leave this place.

I stopped on my track with Hagoromo Gitsune. She appeared to be pissed when we were stopped. She even glared at Azazel with a death stare.

Azazel only smiled back with his coy smile. This guy was really fearless.

"Hmm… Well." I glanced at red-faced Rossweisse behind Odin.

She tried to hide her embarrassment by punching Odin. "I guess she's okay? She has a beautiful face and good figure after all." I grinned as I said that.

"Eh?" Rossweisse let out a small sound as she stopped moving.

"Hahahaha. Look, Rossweisse. How about you marry that guy? He's the leader of the East Youkai Faction, you know? He's also strong, strong enough to kill a Super Devil by himself."

Actually, Hagoromo Gitsune helped me. But I didn't bother to fix him because he didn't know about Matoi. I would be a fool if I explained Matoi to him. Azazel alone was enough to know my technique.

"U-umm…" Rossweisse mumbled in a low voice as she glanced at me. But she quickly turned away when she saw Hagoromo Gitsune glaring at her with a dark aura around her.

"Well, I have two lovers already. I don't think I can add someone else right now." I crossed my arms and smiled playfully.

Rossweisse lowered her head deeply. I then knew why Odin loved to tease her. She was cute and was easy to get embarrassed.

As no one seemed to have anything to say to me again, I decided to leave the room.

"Well then, I will leave first."

I used my Fear to hide my presence and Hagoromo Gitsune. I was now skilled enough to use my technique with other people. I grew stronger.

"There they go…" Said Azazel as I left the room with Hagoromo Gitsune.

***

I went to the colosseum as soon as I left the meeting room. My subordinates were in this place with the other factions.

Devils, Angel, and Fallen angels had gathered in the middle of the colosseum.

Although there was a party in this place, each faction stayed away from the other. They looked at each other with wary on their faces.

No one enjoyed the party, except for the youkai.

"Buahahaha. Drink! Drink!" Aotabo shouted happily as he raised a big mug of beer with his right hand.

"Hahahaha. Take this!" A youkai that looked like a snake shouted to the other while throwing a sweet toward the crowd of small youkai.

"I got this!" A youkai called Natto Kozou jumped and snatched the sweet that was thrown at him.

The atmosphere around the youkai bunch was merry, unlike the other factions.

Some of the members from other factions glanced at the youkai. Some of them even muttered.

"How can they be so loud?" Muttered a fallen angel to his colleague.

"They are uncivilized." Muttered a certain devil.

The angel only looked at the youkai with displeasure.

"It seems they are doing okay." I said to Hagoromo Gitsune. We were still hidden by my Fear, so no one had noticed us yet.

"The same bunch as usual. It's better than the others who are too stiff though."

"Hahahaha. That's true."

We approached the youkai bunch, and I released my Fear. They noticed us instantly and greeted us.

"Onee-sama! Welcome back!" Shouted Kyokotsu as she approached Hagoromo Gitsune. She smiled at her, then Hagoromo patted her head with a smile.

"Welcome back, Riku-sama! Is the conference already ended?" Asked Kurotabo.

"Yeah, it's done. But… it seems that they are still wary toward each other, eh?" I spoke rather loudly on purpose so the other factions could hear me. "Although their leaders have become allies, it seems that the subordinates are not getting along."

Kurotabo smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, it can't be helped. They are too STIFF, after all. Unlike us, who can forgive ANYONE easily, it seems that they are too dumb for that. They don't understand the danger of our common enemy and choose to FIGHT their old enemies."

Kurotabo answered me loudly while throwing some sarcasm intentionally.

"Well, it can't be helped then. Let's just enjoy the party. If they don't want to enjoy the party, why don't you guys kick them out?"

"Oh, good idea. The food on their tables is still untouched, so why don't we take it too?" Kurotabo's mouth curled into an evil grin.

The other youkai who heard us slowly turned their heads toward the tables of the other factions. Greed was written on their faces.

The other factions glared at us with displeasure. The atmosphere then tensed all of a sudden.

Seeing the situation that suddenly turned tense, I grinned to myself. I took some food from the table and looked at the situation while filling my mouth with sweets.

'It has become interesting.'
