Tale of Discovery

Chapter 118: Angry Siscon ; The Usual

"We're leaving now," I state while forming a portal using Norse Magic.

"That," Odin mutters while looking at the gateway.

Naturally, this isn't the first time that Odin has seen this portal. But, he has yet to have a proper opportunity to study it.

The next moment, Rossweisse and I both appear in the dining room of the Gremory House.

There, Rias and her peerage are seated on at the dining table along with Sirzechs, Zeoticus, and Venelena.

Standing a distance away from the table, Grayfia has her usual proper demeanor.

"Good evening," I say before taking a seat at the table while gesturing to Rossweisse to follow suit.

Observing the food that is being served, I'm quite taken aback by the amount.

"This is?" I inquire out of curiosity.

"We reckoned that it would be just for Rias and her servants to eat plenty after the incident," Venelena explains.

"I see," I respond before creating two plates for Rossweisse and me.

"You dare?!" Sirzechs suddenly exclaims while banging the table with his fists.

What's wrong with him? He should know that I can easily finish him off, so his disrespectful attitude is something.

Just as I'm about to slam him into the ground with telekinesis, I feel someone pulling my arm.

Surprised, I turn to face Rossweisse who has an awkward look on her face.

"I just thought that you would-"

Not letting her finish her words, I pat her head with a smile on my face before turning my attention back to Sirzechs who is fuming with rage.

"You've got a problem with me?" I directly ask.

He seems to find something about my words funny as he laughs for a short while before saying,

"I've come to learn that whatever harm Rias took during the Rating Game was because of you!"

"Oh?"

He does have a point, after all, those Devils were here to bring me down.

"Now, you come here and nonchalantly take a seat as you wish. Do you have nothing to say?!"

This is unlike him. It's as if his brain is fogged.

"So, what do you suggest I do?" I say in a tone indicating amusement.

Probably disliking my attitude, Sirzechs forms some rather powerful energy around his arms which alarms everyone present.

Grayfia and Zeoticus immediately attempt to calm him down, but it appears to be futile as he continues to glare at me murderously.

"Can I take this as an act of aggression?" I calmly state.

My words seem to knock some sense back into him as he immediately dissipates the energy before getting up and leaving the dining room with a sunken expression.

As soon as he's out of the room, Zeoticus, and Venelena attempt to explain his actions to me by claiming that he cares a lot about his sister which made him lose his senses upon discovering she was harmed.

"No wonder Rias didn't want to live here anymore," I casually remark.

After savoring the food served for a few minutes, I say,

"I've come here for one sole reason."

Alerted, Zeoticus squints his eyes before asking,

"Is something wrong?"

Shaking my head I say solemnly,

"I need you to give all the information you have regarding the House of Naberius."

Zeoticus is a little shocked by my statement as he proceeds to ask about the reason that I wish to know about such information.

Naturally, I didn't tell him much other than the fact that I'm planning to 'visit' them in the future.

Anyway, the information I received from them was limited as the Naberius have been secretive for a while now.

Apart from their general appearance, clan symbol, as well as, some important family members, Zeoticus didn't much else to say.

Having gotten what I wanted, I get up from my seat and plan to head back to the mansion along with Rossweisse and Koneko.

However, before I do so, I turn to face Zeoticus and say,

"If any problems arise with the other Devil houses, you may contact me, as I'm always looking forward to beating some idiotic individuals up."

Of course, there is more to my words than I'm letting on, which I'm sure Zeoticus understands.

Then, without further ado, I form a portal to the mansion and enter it.

--

Just to be safe, I form my portal in a room especially assigned for such matters.

Finding myself in the empty room, I look at Koneko who is clinging onto my arm then at Rossweisse who is standing respectfully standing beside me.

Why is she always so serious?

"Rossweisse, you can relax, you know?" I suggest.

"No. I've already failed at my job once, so I can't afford to relax."

If that's what she wants, I guess I'll let her be. It's only a matter of time before she relaxes once she starts living with us.

Perhaps, if she's still uncomfortable with relaxing, I could dress her like a maid and have her act like one

The three of us head to the living room and take a seat at an empty sofa.

"Brother Yu!" Ayumi exclaims before rushing over to embrace me. Lifting her from the ground, I place her on my lap and begin patting her head.

Unlike the usual, the other girls just glance at Rossweisse once before getting back to whatever they were busy with.

"No comments," I curiously voice.

"Is there something unusual to comment about?" Nao asks while scrolling through something on her phone.

Now that I think about it, this has indeed become something normal

"So, what is she?" Misa asks.

"What do you mean?" I ask back.

"I mean, is she a Devil, Angel, or some creature that could wipe the country out?"

Chuckling a little at the way she put it, I turn to face Rossweisse and say,

"It's about time you introduced yourself, no?"

Taking my words as an order, Rossweisse bows a little before saying,

"My name is Rossweisse, and I am a Valkyrie. I previously for our Great Father, Odin, but due to unusual circumstances have come under His Grace's wing."

"You've got to be kidding me," Misa voices.

Then, she turns to face before saying dubiously,

"Do you perchance have a thing for non-human beings?"

Finding her words inappropriate with Ayumi also being here, I cough twice before saying,

"Come on, now. There is a reason why every single one of them is here."

"That's what you want us to believe," Nao remarks.

Hah~ I've concluded that arguing with these girls is similar to digging a pit for myself.

[[You brought this upon yourself.]]

Ignoring Tia, I explain the reason why Rossweisse will be staying with us.

---

"I'm planning to leave again," I say to Sora once we're in the bed before the rest arrive.

Squinting her eyes, she asks,

"Where?"

"Siesta's world," I bluntly say.

"For how long?" she inquires.

"I have no idea. However, it should be no more than an instant for you, as time will be frozen here during the period I'm away for."

"How absurd," Sora wryly murmurs to herself.

I place my palm on her cheek before moving my head closer to hers and kissing her lips.

After a few seconds, the kiss gets much more passionate as we both hold each other closely while intertwining our tongues.

This goes on for a while before both of us lie down on the bed and look into each other's eyes.

Sora has a small smile on her face which tempts me to reach my finger out and poke her soft cheek.

Suddenly, the door bursts open as an energetic Ayumi rushes inside while yelling,

"Ah! Brother Yu and Big Sister Sora are both here!"

The next moment, Ayumi jumps right on top of the bed and crawls over into my embrace.

After making herself comfortable, she says,

"What were Brother Yu and Big Sister Sora doing?"

Unfazed by her question, I pat her head and say,

"What else, other than just getting along?"

Before she can ask any further, I shift the topic of the conversation by asking,

"How are your 'little sisters' doing?"

Ayumi seems to find the topic fun as she excitedly begins to tell me of how Ophis and Gula are 'good girls', learning whatever she teaches them quickly.

It also seems like they've begun to learn how to express their feelings a little through constant interactions with the other girls.

I've been considering creating a few gaming-consoles for the girls to enjoy.

I'm sure that there are several games they would be able to enjoy.

--

After everyone has gotten into the bed and has drifted off to sleep, I begin to think of the matter with Halkegenia.

Since Siesta is from that world, I will have her accompany us back, that is if she is capable of doing so.

I wouldn't properly until I have Krul teach Siesta what Infi taught her.

Yuno and Krul will both be coming with me as their experiences will most likely be useful in that world, especially if I want to massacre kingdoms.

Now, the only problem is that I have to find Platform's Core without knowing what it looks like or where it would be.

Normally, when the word 'core' is mentioned, one thinks of the center or major part of something, however, I doubt it's going to be so simple.

Irene, what's the most efficient way to find the Core?

{Father needs to be nearby to be able to sense its presence.}

Do you have any information regarding the Cores?

{Other than the fact they can form a gateway that can be made use of by any creature, not much is known about them.}

I've got a feeling that I will be busy for a long while.
