Chapter 23 - [23] Tour of Kuoh

-Otto POV-

"Alright, Rias, calm down. Enough playing," I said as Olga let her go. 

Rias looked at Otto with her arms crossed, pushing her breasts up as she huffed with anger. "It's been a while, hasn't it, Otto?" 

"Yeah, I never thought we would see each other again." That was a lie, I planned everything! 

"Um, how do you two know each other?" Spoke a voice behind me.

Turning around, I realized that it was Sona Sitri who was speaking.

"We met a few years ago back in Romania, she was a bit... Spoiled back then, thus I ran away from her."

"I see...I never thought you two would meet in such a way. My name is Sona. It's a pleasure to meet you," Sona introduced herself as she extended her hand.

I returned her greeting and shook her hand, "Otto apocalypse, a pleasure."

Originally, I planned for us to come through Hyperion to Japan, but it seems like the school board had already paid for a flight for us to come here so that Sona could give us a tour of the place. 

I didn't need it, but it would have been rude to decline, so we came by plane instead of Hyperion.

But we did still bring Hyperion over to Japan. Kama is the one driving it right now, while Olga is down here with me.

"As the student council president, it is my duty to help all students, so I shall be giving you all a tour of Kuoh."

"Oh, is that so? Thank you, Sona," I said with a smile.

A slight blush appeared on her face, but she quickly hid it and returned to her student council president persona.

"So, where are we going first?"

"I thought it would be nice to visit some of the-" before Sona could finish her sentence, Rias busted in.

"Let's go to the manga store! We're in Japan after all," she said in an enthusiastic voice. It almost seemed like she had forgotten about the dispute we had had a few seconds ago.

Almost that is, I'm sure she'll come pester me again. 

Sona sighed as she saw her friend taking the lead, but she probably didn't bother, as manga was one of Japan's main cultural focus points. She was probably going to bring us here one way or another. 

Rias led us through the streets of Kuoh until we reached a pretty popular Anime/Manga store.

Rias ran in like a kid on sugar, grabbing multiple manga.

"Here, read these! One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen. These are some of my favorites!" she said as he handed us different books.

As we saw the book covers all of them, my group suddenly looked at me with amused smiles.

Why though? 

Because I'm the mangaka for all of these.

When I came to this world, one thing that I noticed was the severe lack of good manga. There were also other shity version of manga from my world. Dragon Ball here is called Drag so Ball.

And so, I took it as my heavenly duty to spread true culture through the manga world. Getting my manga published was actually one of the two things that I did when I did my little business trip to Japan that I had mentioned earlier. The first one was that I made some precautions for a little someone, and the other was the Manga release.

All these years, I've continued to release volumes of the manga, and even anime have been done under the Mangaka name, Luocha.

Yup, that's me!

In fact, Anime and Manga are surprisingly some of my biggest sources of income besides selling useless tech to Azazel and companies I own from the shadows.

Fufu~ I wonder how Rias will react if she finds out that the Mangaka of all those manga that are right in her arms.

The other seems to be thinking the same, as they were just looking at the eccentric Rias with amused smiles.

We continued to follow Rias and Sona around Kuoh for the rest of the day, despite it being a really troublesome place; Kuoh has its merits. 

Besides the beautiful views, malls, and famous tourist spots. There are also a bunch of ramen shops here that are good, and that's coming from me.

The person who was the most excited about this was Vali, since he is the ramen enthusiast of the group.

I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again. Vali uses his allowance on either of two things: ramen or training equipment.

Mostly ramen, tough as he buys multiple ingredients from different countries so that he can create and research his own ramen.

And this is also the first time he has been to Japan to eat authentic Japanese noodles, so he was like a kid in a candy store, trying all the noodles on the menu that he hadn't tried before.

Olga was also going along with Vali, as she enjoys eating. In fact, Olga is Vali's second taste tester when he makes a new noodle, me being first, of course.

Cao Cao, Himeko, Lavinia, and Valerie, on the other hand, enjoyed looking at rare stones and jewelry. Most of them like to collect rings and accessories that they think are pretty and cool. Cao Cao mostly collects jewels that he thinks would look cool on him.

Welt and Gasper, on the other hand, really liked looking through the action figure store, mainly the Gundam section.

Welt actually has all of them, but he still likes looking through all the action figures in the store.

I was the one who created Gundam in this universe, by the way, mostly because I thought that Welt would enjoy it with his love for robots and mechas.

That only left me, Rita, and Dulio. We mostly enjoyed going to the mall. Dulio, despite his looks and personality, enjoys playing video games. Rita and I went to the market, and I just followed Rita as she wanted to get some fresh ingredients for today's dinner.

Together we had a fun day, although Sona has been giving me this weird stare. It's as if she's trying to see through me. Maybe she wants me to join her peerage?

Sadly, for her, I have no intention of becoming a devil or becoming her slave.
