~16 June 2008~
Hyoudou Issei walks away from the palace, where the ruler of Kyoto resides. He never felt so small in front of Yasaka, the leader of all Youkai. Yasaka herself has questioned him and his fellow member of rias peerage. She asks him about how he got invited to join Rias peerage and if he wants to leave his current king and join the youkai. Yasaka even offers her protection for him and his family if Issei joins the Youkai faction. Of course, Issei says no to that offer and asks why she offered him that.
"The youkai and devil have an agreement that we, the youkai faction, can ask the people from Japan to join our rank, and the devil will not stop them if they want to go back and join our faction."
After that, Yasaka asks him if his sacred gear is a boosted gear. Issei immediately says yes to her and shows her his boosted gear. After seeing her nod at him, Yasaka says that they are finished.
When he walks outside the room, he meets with Akeno and Koneko, who look like they are hesitant to leave the room for an unknown reason. He shook his head as he thought it was only his imagination.
After that 'conversation' with Yasaka, Issei and his friend walk away from the palace, and their next destination is the LeBlanc cafe. He also sees President Sona and her peerage appear near them. He must say that the food inside the cafe is excellent and not only its food but also the drink. Rias teleports them near the LeBlanc cafe and then walks toward one of the most famous cafes in Kyoto.
Koneko is the first one that opens the door and immediately walks toward the counter, then orders a lot of food and drinks from the owner of the cafe. Issei looks around and sees there is also a young mother that helps Sasaki Kojiro and his little sister Sakura serving the customer. Issei snaps from his thought about the MILF grade breast as Sakura asks them about their order.
"I will have your today specialty and green tea, please."
"Okay, ~."
Issei smiles at the little girl who begins to run at Kojiro and gives their order to her big brother. While waiting for their order, Rias tried to walk toward Kojiro, but before she could stand up, another customer opened the door. The reason why Rias froze is because of the raw power the said customer releases. The new customer that walks inside is a little girl wearing a gothic cloth that reveals her breast and a flex tape that covers her nipple. What's weird about her is that she was holding a black jacket but did not wear it and cover her exposed chest. Issei sits uncomfortably at her as while he is a breast fanatic, he still has a line that he will never cross, and one of them is a little girl. He doesn't want the police to come and knock on his parent's house door.
'Partner'
'What is it, Ddraig?'
'That little girl is dangerous.'
'Yeah, she has massive power.'
'No, you misunderstood me, partner.'
'What?'
'That little girl name is Ophis, also known as Infinite Dragon God, Ouroboros Dragon, and The Strongest Existence in the world.'
'...What?'
'Yes, that so-called little girl can destroy the world with the flick of her finger. Also, she is older than me.'
"What?!?"
Unconsciously Issei says his last word was loud, making his friend look at him weirdly. Seeing the face of his friend and also the people inside the cafe, Issei slumped down and avoided seeing other people's eyes.
"Ise? What happened?"
"Buchou, that little girl that just walked inside the cafe is dangerous."
"Really? I must say that she has massive magic that even makes me shiver."
"No, Buchou, you don't understand."
"Oh? Then tell me what is wrong with her"
"That little girl is Ophis."
After saying 'Ophis,' Issei can see Rias and Sona's eyes begin to widen and look at the little girl that is waiting in a queue to order her food with a newfound fear in their eyes. Rias then looks at Issei with a serious face before saying.
"Are you sure, Ise?"
"Yes, Ddraig is the one that says it to me."
"Then please wait here for a minute. I need to call, Nii-sama."
Issei then sees Sasaki Kojiro do a facepalm after seeing Ophis in front of him.
"I wonder what the owner will do…"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kojiro looks at the 'little girl' in front of him and does a facepalm. He still remembers that he gave his jacket to her the other day. While she 'wears' his coat, she wears it around her arms instead of her body and covers her chest area.
"Ophis…"
"Un?"
"Please wear that jacket."
"En? I do"
She then raised her hand while looking very proud of her accomplishment. Seeing her 'smug' face, Kojiro does a facepalm once again. He looks at the Youkai customer with an apologetic smile and walks toward Ophis and helps her to wear the jacket. After being done covering the exposed area, Kojiro then began to write the Ophis order.
"This this this this this...and this"
Ophis points at the cake, cookies, pudding, and drinks she wants. After pointing at her order, Sakura led her toward the empty table near Rias and Sona's party. While preparing for the Ophis order, Kojiro asks Sakura to accompany Ophis while waiting for her food to come. He has a bad feeling to leave Ophis alone even though she is only sitting on the chair waiting for her order. The reason is that while walking toward her seat, Ophis looks at Issei with a piercing stare.
Kojiro then immediately prepares Ophis's order and then lets Hiko deliver it toward Ophis, who looks at the food in front of her in anticipation. He smiles at Ophis, who wolfs down her food immediately after it arrives in front of her. When the food comes, Sakura quickly walks away to continue her duty of serving the food for other people.
For another 15 minutes, Kojiro waits for Rias and Sona to approach him and start a small talk like yesterday. However, to his surprise, Rias or Sona did not walk toward him and start a conversation like yesterday. Instead, they continue to eat the food in front of them while Rias is still talking to a person on the phone even though she is already walking inside the cafe.
When Rias finishes talking to whoever she is talking with, She walks toward the counter and places down her bill. After paying for all the food and drink her and Sona peerage order, they walk away from his kaif without asking him anything.
Kojiro raised his eyebrow at them but let it go and let the matter go. He knows the reason why the devil is in Kyoto. Their so-called 'looking for location' is an excuse to forge a good relationship with him and fish out some information that they don't have or at least search for confirmation.
Kojiro snaps from his thought when he sees Ophis walk to the counter and place down the bill in front of him. Kojiro smiles at her and says,
"Hello, Ophis. Yeah, I know your identity."
He immediately says his reasoning that he can feel her aura when Ophis tilted her head in confusion. Hearing his answer, she nodded and stared at him in expectation. Kojiro doesn't know why Ophis looks at him that way, but he continues to say the price for all her orders.
Ophis raises her hand, and suddenly, a small mountain of Yen appears in front of him, surprising him.
"What? Ophis, it is too… much"
Kojiro looks at Ophis that has a proud 'expression' before disappearing from his cafe and makes the mundane customer go wild at Ophis's little performance.
Kojiro sighs, and with a flick of his finger, he manipulates the Bounded Field around the cafe and erases the memory of a recent event that happened from all the mundane customers but lets the Youkai keep their memory. He also stores the money inside his pocket dimension and then sighs while muttering.
"What am I gonna do with that money?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kuroka looks at Ophis who appears inside the Khaos Brigade with a content smile on her face.
"Welcome back, Ophis-sama. How's the food?"
"En. Good"
"So, How much money is left? You don't give it all, right?"
"Un?"
"... You give all the money you have, don't you?"
"En. Want cake. Give money"
".... Haaaaaaaa. Ophis-sama, with all that money you have, you can buy all the cake the owner has for years."
"Mu?!?"
"Yes"
She looks at Ophis, who begins sulking in the corner of the room, lamenting her wasted chance to have the delicious treat for many years. Kuroka watches it with satisfaction as Ophis gives a 100 million Yen toward a stranger without hesitation.
"Now, I need to make an excuse for this loss. That is all the cash we have, and Ophis-sama gives it to the stranger. Not only that, but it was toward the stranger that has many magical beings guarding him, and he is also a rather strong individual. It will be difficult, especially with the new group of exorcists patrolling around the area at night."
Kuroka sighs and slumps down on the sofa and then massages her head.
"I don't want that creepy Rizevim talking to me alone inside his office. Brrrr. His aura makes me sick."
