Chapter 90
The party was great, and the Gremory Family was kind enough to offer us a bigger room. After drinking and eating, the four Satans start to randomize the names for the Rating Games. While the party was great, there was someone who decided to ruin it for me.
If not for Yasaka, I would have killed him as he continued to talk about taking away Asia. That young boy is Diodora Astaroth.
==Flashback==
This party is rather relaxing. I can drink high-quality wine and eat some delicious food. I only need to make sure to reject the invitation from many youth devils who try to recruit me into their peerage and make sure to stop Kunou from drinking the wine.
She thought she was sneaky, but just like any ten-year-old, they thought they were more sneaky than they thought they were.
When she gets caught, she pouts and gives me her best puppy eye. The little rascal learns from her mother and copies her technique. If not for the location, I would fall by her act.
"Asia! Is that you?"
I look to the side and see a young man walk toward us. He has dark green hair and golden eyes that look at Asia in surprise and gladness. If not for my Senjutsu, I would believe in him, but because of my senjutsu, I can already smell his fakeness.
I can feel Asia's weariness and confusion. She might not be a master in Senjutsu, but she is a senjutsu practitioner like Kunou, and I have a feeling that she already noticed the fakeness this young man radiates from his body.
"I am sorry, but who are you?"
Asia says in English. Asia is now trilingual. She can speak Japanese, English, and Italian. She will speak English when she wants to be formal and upset and speak Italian when she gets excited. She is still learning Japanese, so she only uses it when in Japan.
"Ah! Have you forgotten about me, Asia? Maybe this will restore some of your memory."
He opens his clothes and shows her the wound on his chest. He puts down his clothes and says.
"Do you remember now, Asia?"
Asia nods her head and gives a small but restrained smile.
"I remember now. You are that young man who is injured near the church, right?"
"Ah! That is good! You remember me! Thank you for remembering. Since that fateful day, I have been always thinking about you, Asia."
That one is the truth, but knowing who this young man is, I know that he did not have any good intentions with that word.
"Truly?"
"Of course! I, Diodora Astaroth, ask you, lady Asia, to join my peerage. Will you let me thank you for what you have done to me by offering you a place in my peerage? You did not need to worry about anything! I shall give it all to you. Anything in this world shall be yours if you want it to be."
I can feel his lust radiating from his body. Fuck this little shit. Let's kill him.
However, before I can walk forward, Yasaka holds me back. I lean over her and whisper something to her ear.
"Why do you stop me, Yasaka? Let me kill him. Can't you feel his real feelings? He wants to tarnish Asia's innocence."
Yasaka nods her head and says.
"I know. However, please trust Asia. She has been training in Senjutsu from me, and I know she already noticed his real feelings as they radiated from him like a beacon in the night."
I take a deep breath and nod my head. I look at Asia, who only gives him a small smile and says.
"I am sorry, Diodora. I don't need anything like that. I already have a perfect life that I did not want to trade with anything. I am flattered by your offer, but I will not trade what I currently have with anything."
And there it is. There is the crack—the crack on his fake smile. The small twitch in his smile lets me know that he is annoyed.
"I see. What a shame. Very well. I shall respect your wish, Asia. However, if you change your mind or even need anything, please don't hesitate to tell me. I shall pay back for what you have done to me."
"Of course. Thank you for caring for me."
"It is my pleasure."
As he walked away, I could feel his anger directed at me, and he frowned a little when he thought I was not looking. I lean over Yasaka and say.
"I think we should kill him. That is easier than this."
Yasaka can only sigh and shake her head, but I can see a small smile on her face at my word.
==End of Flashback==
Other than that little shit, the night is pleasant, and I enjoy the party. I release a sigh and let my body melt by the soft bed. Yasaka is currently taking a bath and getting ready for the night. Asia and Kunou stay next to this room and the Trio Divine Beings will stay in the biggest rooms above this floor.
Tomorrow, we will depart to the capital city of the underworld, Lilith City. It is a city ruled by the Satan Lucifer, Sirzechs. According to the other devils I talked to, it is the biggest and most beautiful city in the entire underworld.
I cannot help but get excited to visit that place. Not only that, I was also excited to meet the other gods. It looks like the four Satans manage to invite the Norse Pantheon. I know that Odin in this world is a perverted old man, but I cannot help but be excited to see him, for he is the master of Runic Magic and even the creator of it. He is the one building the foundation for all runic magic.
As a practitioner of Fuinjutsu, I want to meet the creator of Rune.
"Found you."
I get off my bed, take my sword, and absorb a large amount of natural energy when I hear a foreign voice. I point my sword in the direction of the voice but blink a little when I see who is saying that word.
The one saying that is a little girl the same height as Kunou. She has black hair and grayish eyes. She is wearing a dress that does not cover her chest area, and I can see that covering her nipples are four flex tapes.
The way she dresses is screaming FBI bait. If not for my Meta Knowledge, I would think that she is a lost child. Sadly, she is not a regular child or even a child at all.
"Ophis, what can I do for you?"
She is Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon or the Infinite Dragon God.
