Devil come to Visit

~15 June 2008~

It's been two days since Kojiro, Yasaka, Sakura, and Kunou went to the Naruto world. After the fight between Naruto and Gaara, It was followed by the battle between Temari against Shino. He says that Shino Aburame smartly uses his insect. Not only is he not showing all his trump cards but also knows when to use it.

The first few minutes is where Shino dodges all the attacks Temari launches at him. Shino dodged all attacks with ease while also sending a small army of Kikaichū toward Temari. Temari, who saw the Kikaichū, immediately uses her Giant Folding Fan to kill the army of insects that are coming at her. When she sees there are no more insects from her point of view, Temari then begins to attack Shino once again. However, without her knowing, Shino successfully latches a few Kikaichū on her body.

The fight is like Kojiro predicted. Shino uses a Hit and Run tactic while Temari tries to give Shino a clean hit. Seeing that her normal Jutsu cannot hit Shino, Temari then uses her higher Jutsu, but sadly for her, it only causes her Chakra depleted faster than before.

Slowly but surely, Temari begins to show a sign of exhaustion while Shino only has a few bruises and cuts all over her body. When Temari smears her blood on the folding fan, she immediately falls to the ground because of chakra exhaustion.

After the 30 minutes break, the fight between Shino and Naruto starts. The match itself is almost the same as the previous one. Hit and Run while Naruto tried to knock Shino before he depleted his Chakra. However, with Naruto's endless clone and his massive Chakra, it will take a long time to exhaust the Naruto Chakra pool. The fight lasts for an hour, where they engage in Taijutsu battle against each other. By the end of an hour, Shino forfeits because he knows that he can't beat Naruto as his Kikaichū told him that Naruto chakra is too massive for his colony to handle.

With the tournament finished, Kojiro and his companion decide that they will stay in Naruto world for another week and explore the world. They explore the capital of the Land of Fire, where they use their time to sample the local cuisine. The next day, they go to the Land of Iron, where Kojiro takes his time to buy Chakra iron ingots as much as he can while Yasaka, Sakura, and Kunou decide to do exploration and do some training in Jutsu (Yasaka and Kunou) and Magecraft (Sakura).

The reason why they decided to have some training is that Kojioro successfully got them a scroll about Hand Seal and a few Jutsu from the black market. Sakura comes with them because Kunou drags her with them.

That very day they decide to go away from the Land of Iron because Yasaka uses too much Chakra in casting her fire Jutsu, making the samurai inside the Land of Iron try to get them. They then visit the Land of Wind, Iron, Earth, and Hot Water. They sample all the local cuisine and search for another Jutsu inside the black market. By the end of the week, Kojiro successfully gets around 50 Jutsu. The Jutsu he also got also have different rank and nature transformation. The only thing he never gets is a forbidden Jutsu or Clan Jutsu.

When they come back from the Naruto world, Yasaka grumbles a little as they arrive the next day from the time they go to the Naruto World. Kojior chuckles a bit at Yasaka, grumbling about how the paperwork and other responsibilities she needs to take care of. When he asks about it, Yasaka says that she wants Nurarihyon to take care of the paperwork and the meeting with the noble clan in Japan, but now she needs to go to the meeting the next day. As they arrive before the meeting, Yasaka needs to attend the conference and see some old fart giving her flattery and licking her boots.

Kojiro snaps from his thoughts when he hears another customer walk inside his cafe. He then looked at the one that was coming inside his cafe. His eyes widen a second as the people that just walk inside are the people from the Devil race.

The first one to go inside his cafe is Rias and her peerage, Akeno Himejima, Gasper Vladi, Yuuto Kiba, Koneko Toujou, and Issei Hyoudo. The next one is Sona Sitri and her Peerage, Tsubaki Shinra, Momo Hanakai, Reya Kusaka, Tomoe Meguri, Tsubasa Yura, Ruruka Nimura, and Genshiro Saji. The next one that comes is both Seekvaira Agares, followed by Sairaorg Bael.

He swallows his surprise and immediately greets them with a business smile.

"Welcome to LeBlanc cafe. What can I do for you?"

The first one to take the order is Koneko, who was after staring at the menu for a few seconds.

"Lava cake, Lemon Cheesecake, Chocolate Cookies, Chocolate Parfait, Banana Mousse cake, and Chocolate Mint Latte."

Kojiro looks at Koneko, who stares at him with a blank stare before nodding at her and writing down the order. He then looks at the rest of the people in front of him, who say their order to him.

"Sakura, can you help me with the order?"

"Yes, ~."

Kojiro then prepares the order of the young people in front of him while Sakura delivers it to their table. After 10 minutes of waiting, the food arrives at the table of the devil.

Kojiro raises his eyebrow when Sona Sitri and Seekvaira Agares walk toward the counter and eat their food in front of him. He expects Rias Gremory will be the one that does the talking because how she is the one that usually does it in the canon timeline.

"You are Sasaki Kojiro"

Kojiro smiles at Sona Sitri a little before saying.

"Not good at starting a conversation, huh?"

He can see Rias do a facepalm while Sairaorg chuckles a little.

"It was much better than asking about the weather, isn't it?"

"Maybe you are right. So, what can I do for you?"

"Did you know that your name caused a bit of chaos across the underworld?"

"Oh, really?"

"Yes"

Kojiro waits for Sona to explain her statement, but after a minute of silence, Kojiro decides to break the ice.

"So, why decide to visit Kyoto? I hear Kyushu is great this time of year."

"I agree with that, but sadly, Kuoh academy decided that Kyoto will be our destination for our school trip this year."

Kojioro looks at Seekvaira and says.

"Oh? Then why do you guys here first? I heard that this is not yet a summer break, you know?"

"We decide to see the area first and booking a hotel for our school trip."

He smiled at her a little at her attempt to lie about their intention of going to Kyoto and walk toward another customer that walked inside the cafe. While serving another customer, he can hear the whisper between Seekvaira Agares and Sona Sitri, even though it was just a little of it.

"What with that excuse? Now he will investigate the 'hotel' we stay."

"My excuse is better than yours. Why do you say something about the Underworld condition?"

"... Fair enough"

Kojiro smiles at their behavior and continues to serve the customer in front of him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rias, Sona, and Seekvaira are sitting down on the bed inside the Gremory family mansion. Their first meeting between them and Sasaki Kojiro ends up an awkward conversation.

"How can you both mess up that bad?"

Rias looked at her both childhood friends while folding her hand under her chest. The first one that answers her is Sona.

"I admit that messed up that conversation. I don't know how to open a conversation because my sister ordered. She demanded that we don't offend him but also didn't use flattery. She also says that we should try fishing out some information or at least get confirmation about him defeating the stray the Youkai faction gave to us for the bounty. Because of that, I get a little nervous, I guess."

"Haaaaaaaa"

Rias sighs a little and hopes that tomorrow they can have a pleasant conversation with the mysterious cafe owner.
