Chapter 140 - China P-3

Le Fay Pov

 

From a distance, Onii-sama and Charlemagne-sama were clashing their swords.

 

With every clash of their swords, currents of air spread; oh, our campsite will be destroyed!

 

Luckily, Kuroka-sama created a barrier for me with a wink. Although she's usually very mischievous, she's actually very trustworthy.

 

*Boom!*Boom!*Baaam!*

 

"What the hell is this pile of metal?!"

 

"That's not a pile of metal, that's Gogz! Please don't be rude!"

 

I covered my face with my hands and shouted, wondering if they heard me... probably not.

 

"Pffftt!"

 

"Please don't laugh, Bikou-sama, this is bullying, I'll sue you."

 

"Puhahaha!!"

 

Bikou-sama laughed even deeper, how rude!

 

Then he looked at the sky.

 

"But man, I don't know who those ancient gods were, but they knew what they were doing."

 

I couldn't help but nod in agreement.

 

As cannonballs appeared all over Gogz's body, he waged war against the ornate modern ship firing cannonballs at him; even when Gogz took damage, he quickly repaired himself.

 

Suddenly, its head, arms, and joints were all exposed, and from there modern aura cannons were fired, completely pushing the rival modern ship backward.

"Ohhh~"

 

I unconsciously clapped my hands; what a beautiful fireworks display

 

....I wish Daniele-sama were here too.

 

Ah—suddenly I felt a warmth on my cheeks, what a shameful mind, bad Le Fay, bad Le Fay.

 

Aster-sama, on the other hand, was throwing a group backward with an axe that looked excessively large for his child form.

 

"Grrr"

 

Fenrir-sama voice brought me back to reality: the marshmallow we'd put on the fire were cooked!

 

Luckily they didn't burn.

 

I let out a sigh of relief as I hit my chest.

 

"Thank you, Fenrir-sama"

 

I can't help myself, it's so hard not to stroke his head.

 

As I picked out the marshmallow, I handed some to Bikou-sama, Kuroka-sama, and Vali-sama.

 

"Onii-sama, the marshmallow is ready"

 

For some reason, Onii-sama started emitting an excessive Holy Aura, as if he had gained extraordinary power, or rather, from Caliburn. 

 

"Marshmallows made by my Le Fay!!!!"

 

....I'm going to be angry at him, and I have every right to be angry, don't I?

 

Charlemagne and Onii-sama retreated, but Charlemagne-sama had noticeably more cuts and damage.

 

A shadow appeared from above, momentarily covering us, then instantly shrank and fell into my lap in a tiny form.

 

I giggled as Gogz lay in my lap, it's so cute.

 

On the other side, a giant ship landed next to Charlemagne-sama.

 

"What a rude welcome."

 

She said this especially while looking at Vali-sama, who still seemed indifferent.

 

Thinking about it now, she was so beautiful, I feel a little jealous....

Vali-sama finally lifted his head and looked at him.

 

"Weren't you the one who came and attacked without provocation?"

 

"I only came to invite Le Fay to our place."

 

"Death by the court"

 

Onii-sama pushed his glasses up and said quite harshly.

 

"Umm... I'm sorry?"

 

I felt the need to say, is this my fault?

 

"Nyahaha~ Don't worry Le Fay-chin~ Nobody can take you away from me~~"

 

Kuroka-sama hugged me from behind, ah, they're quite big, so jealous!

 

Aster-san came to us with his extremely large axe.

 

"Of course, I wasn't expecting to see Asterious either."

 

Aster-san shrugged.

 

"I am not interested"

 

Charlemagne-sama was still very calm. 

 

"There's nothing you can do then, just don't regret it when the time comes.Are you sure, Le Fay?"

 

"I'm sorry Charlemagne-sama"

 

I bowed my head slightly.

 

She looked back one more time Vali-sama

 

"Vali Lucifer, what do you know about Malebrance?"

 

"Dante's Divine Comedy?"

 

Vali-sama looked at her as if to say, "Are you crazy?"

 

Charlemagne-sama giggled softly this time.

 

"Apparently you don't know, I guess your grandfather didn't tell you---"

 

Before she could finish speaking, a huge skull was thrown at her.

 

Every path it passed was fading.

 

Charlemagne-sama swiftly swung her great sword, striking the immense Holy Power against the barren land.

 

Vali-sama had pitch-black magic circle pointed at her, yet his life force showed not the slightest tremor; had you really progressed this far in Forbidden Arts?

 

Sometimes Vali-sama's magic ability scares me; he's like a sponge.

 

"Watch your words, a newcomer who has taken Cao Cao's place shouldn't get her hopes up so much."

 

"I'm not like him."

 

"Yes, you're weaker, you fight worse, and you don't keep quiet as much."

 

Charlemagne-sama's eyebrows twitched quite a bit; to be honest, it feels like the influence of Daniele-sama, because he normally speaks more with fists and isn't so sharp-tongued.

 

"We'll see....everything will change when Lucifer, 'Lord' returns."

 

Charlemagne-sama and those with her jumped onto the ship and disappeared into the sky.

 

"What are we doing, Vali-nya?"

 

Kuroka-sama turned and asked him...is she still hugging me?

 

Vali-sama stood up and brushed himself off.

 

"Isn't it obvious, there are these 'Malebrance' things that seem to be related to the Old Satans, and according to the Lord, it's probably related to the God of the Bible.Things are about to get interesting, let's reserve a seat in the front row."

 

"Where are we going?"

 

Bikou-sama asked

 

"Of course we'll go visit your grandfather."

 

"...eh?"

 

--------------

 

The man dressed like a beggar downed the glass of cheap liquor in front of him in one gulp.

 

"Kiaaa! This is the best~"

 

Just as the man was about to pour another glass, someone knelt down in front of him.

 

"Ah~~ hello customer, I'm not drunk enough, let me have one more sip~"

 

The man sitting in front of him was a handsome young man, around 17-19 years old, with dark brown hair and golden eyes.

 

This person is naturally Daniele

 

Riser, Ravel, Shigune, Kaname, Ryuu, and Lint were right behind him.

 

Bulent and Yubelluna went to get some snacks.

 

Daniele waited for the man to drink without disturbing him.

 

"*Hick*~ now me fine~"

 

He swayed in his seat, then looked at Daniele.

 

"Okay *hick*~ my young customer ~*hick* let me rob you*hick* I mean, let the game begin ~"

 

Between sobs, he explained the rules.

 

There are three cups that will move quickly, and there's also a small marble; you need to find the marble.

 

If you find it, all the savings are yours; if you don't, it will be added to your mountain of money.

 

Daniele calmly handed over Hong Kong's official currency.

 

The man dressed as a beggar chuckled as he picked up the cups and moved them around.

 

Adam moved the cups with a speed that was both rapid and balanced, a pace that could be described as a battle.

 

Then she looked at Daniele expectantly, as if impatiently awaiting his decision.

 

Daniele's move was unexpected; he added more money.

 

"Let's play again"

 

"Your eyes don't look very good *hick*~"

 

Daniele smiled and nodded.

 

"Maybe so."

 

Adam moved the trophies again, and Daniele, without averting his gaze, looked back at the same spot.

 

"Okay... let's play again."

 

The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow at him.

 

The cups were moved again.

 

"Again"

 

"????"

 

The man was now staring at her strangely; this is beyond foolish, at least try!

 

Riser's mouth was twitching at the back, he had naturally figured out the old man's trick; the ball was changing direction on one side and going in the other, it was that simple.

 

'Bro, why can't you see this? Are your eyesight really bad?'

 

"What? Isn't money the important thing?"

 

"Yes, *hick* but you're killing my pleasure like this *hick*"

 

"Let's make things interesting then."

 

Daniele suddenly dropped a wad of money, thicker than his wrist, onto the table.

 

"I'll play with this much; essentially, for a single game, you need to give me four answers to my question, if possible."

 

"1"

 

"3"

 

"2—"

 

"Deal!"

 

Daniele didn't hesitate at all; he only needed two questions.

 

He rearranged the cups again, Daniele's gaze focused on the same spot once more.

 

This time it was noticeably faster than the previous ones, like the news flashing across the bottom of the television screen; even if you could see it, it was hard to follow.

 

It stopped after half a minute.

 

This time, Riser was worried that Daniele would lose, so he nudged Daniele, who was crouching down to point out where the ball had slipped.

 

Daniele ignored Riser...and suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the hand old man was pulling back.

 

"How romantic*hick* but I'm not gay♪"

 

Daniele rolled his eyes.

 

"Stop joking, old man."

 

The man chuckled and held out his hand.

 

There was a marble there....

 

"Huh??"

 

Lint gave a surprised look; she was sure the marble was the one on the left.

 

"The change of the marble bearing wasn't that simple; it was essentially a displacement beyond perception."

 

Shigune commented that, aside from Daniele, she had dealt with the most god-level beings there, and she immediately noticed this man's abnormality.

 

"So let me ask my question... Why does a God behave like a beggar, at least at the very top of the High-Tier?"

 

Daniele narrowed his eyes; Regulus hadn't detected anything strange about the man, an ordinary god couldn't do this!

 

The beggar man was silent...one second...two seconds...then he chuckled.

 

With his other hand, he reached for his hat and pressed it even harder against his head.

 

An eye was visible through his brown hair.

"Not bad ~ not bad at all, how did you figure it out?"

 

"You're too normal; there's no such thing as a normal person in a marketplace belonging to the supernatural world, it's an unwritten rule."

 

Ryuu explained the reason while the man laughed again.

 

"Ah, these young people of this generation are such fun!"

 

"Hmm? Where did everyone go!?"

 

Ravel's sudden scream made everyone realize that there was no one around; the place was exactly the same, but not a single fly had been left.

 

Kaname grumbled

 

"I felt a slight awkwardness when he held his hat, probably then."

 

"More precisely, the moment he lowered his head after touching me"

 

Daniele confirmed Kaname's statement.

 

"Beautiful Insights~ Xiao(Little) Gangster and Xiao(Little) Lion"

 

As for being on alert... no, there was no need,even Riser understood that, the entity they were facing could kill them at any moment it wished.

 

"Can I get answer for my question now?"

 

Daniele said, fixing his gaze on man

 

Logically, it's almost absurd for a God of that caliber to be poor; besides, almost no being at the level of God suffers from financial difficulties in mortal world.

 

"Well... I don't think you'd believe me if I said it's a hobby."

 

"Half true"

 

"Then accept half, and I'll give you 1.5 more questions."

 

Daniele remained silent.

 

"How much do you know about Huánglóng's situation and why aren't you intervening?

 

*clap*Clap*clap*

 

"Now, these are very nice questions~ and the answers are nice too... Regarding the Huánglóng incident, there's a betrayal involved, an arrogant coward and a snake he himself nurtured.Why am I not intervening? Regarding this agreement, remember, child, the more powerful the God, the more effective the rules and agreements are. This is not just about respect, it's also about our divine power. We left the lower realm to the Four Directions and the Center, to the Monster Gods, or as you call them, the Divine Beasts; the upper realm and its layers belong to us, the Human Gods, or as others call them, the immortals. That's why you Longinus users are such troublesome, unstable, independent powers. "

 

"Like Genghis Khan?"

 

Daniele raised one eyebrow.

 

"Ah, of course! Hahaha~ I haven't heard such chaos since that Monkey, it makes you think that even if none of them died, they suffered heavy losses at his hands.If you go to the higher realm, be careful, there are still those who harbor resentment. "

 

"Thanks for your concern, let's continue with my previous question."

 

"Hmm? Wasn't this the question?"

 

"Of course not, we're just having a pleasant conversation, please continue with your explanation."

 

The beggar-like God grumbled.

 

"As I said, I can't interfere, but all I can say is don't be fooled by the xiàomiànhǔ , Wren is not content with just one branch. , but this event will also bring you luck.---"

 

He looked especially into Daniele's eyes.

 

"--Blood is denser than water; the lineage bound to the earth will echo with the earth."

 

"????"

 

Question marks appeared in Daniele's head... they really did, he was so surprised that question marks emerged from the light.

 

"Okay, over"

 

"What, what does that mean? Can't you say something more useful? Even the information you're giving is just strange riddles!"

 

Kaname was a straightforward person, so naturally she spoke in anger.

 

"Come on God Uncle, give us more information!"

 

Lint spoke

 

"If the problem is money, don't worry!Just tell me the price."

 

Riser pulled out a gold Bullion

 

"You can't solve everything with money, Xiao-San Phenex."

 

You can't solve everything with money

 

Riser remained completely silent...it was as if someone had told him the world was flat.

 

God, disguised as a beggar, vanished in an instant.

 

At the same time, sounds came from the surroundings, which caused the group to sigh.

 

"Is he alright?"

 

Ryuu pointed at Riser, who was staring into space.

 

"It's okay, it's just that his Dao Heart has collapsed."

 

Daniele shook his head; telling Riser that money couldn't solve things was like telling elephants that the world was carried by other animals, or telling him that sex was tasteless—his mind simply couldn't comprehend such things.

 

"Get a grip, Riser-Nii-sama, I didn't bring any money with me, so treat us to everything today."

 

Riser came to his senses at that moment.

 

"Who-what-how-where???"

 

Yubelluna and Bulent arrived with food in their hands.

 

Riser quickly turned his head and looked at them.

 

He put one arm around both of their hands.

 

"Yosh! This young master will show you the power of money! What do you mean it doesn't solve anything, it simply hasn't been used enough!!!! I, Riser, the Third Young Master of the Family, am horrified by the blindness of a God! Come on, "This young master is treat you all"

 

Riser set off with an arrogant laugh.

 

"Did you really not bring any money?"

 

Shigune gave Ravel a disbelieving look.

 

The young Phenex girl shrugged.

 

"Honestly, I don't have any Yen with me right now."

 

Ravel said, her lips curling upwards.

 

She didn't have any Japanese money with her, what about other currencies? Hehe♪

 

How could Ravel not have money? She's a Phenex!

 

We're talking about a clan that single-handedly influences the economy of the Underworld, and of course, as the clan's only young princess, she has even more money than her brothers; she's a true lady!

 

Ravel tossed her hair back.

 

"Let him show off with his money and enjoy himself; everyone knows who the real queen is."

 

Daniele chuckled and stroked the girl's head.

 

"Here's my secretary, a complete genius."

 

The group continued on their way as if nothing had changed... at least that's how it appeared from the outside.

 

Daniele made it easier for them to talk while adding a layer of illusion similar to the one in the hotel.

 

"So what do you think about the words?"

 

Daniele asked

 

Ryuu was the first to speak.

 

"xiàomiànhǔ , means smiling tiger, It describes someone who appears kind, polite, and friendly on the outside, but is actually ruthless, hypocritical, and dangerous on the inside."

 

"So, a hypocrite "

 

Lint placed her hand behind her head.

 

"It needs to be related to the idiom *Wren is not content with just one branch*, which, according to the Chinese idiom, also means not being content with what one has. "

 

Shigune presented other side.

 

"But what is the final part then?"

 

Ravel looked directly at Daniele.

 

The others were looking at him too.

 

"Since you looked him directly in the eye, it must be about you. What do you say?"

 

Daniele began to think as Kaname asked the question.

 

"This....is probably related to the Five family in Japan, I had clues that I had a strange connection with Abe no Seimei, or rather, my mother's side of the family.Abe no Seimei was formerly a member of one of the Five Principal Clans, but although I have my doubts, I'm now certain he's from the Nakiri Clan....but the rest is unclear, is there another Nakiri member here, or is he referring to Huánglóng? I don't understand."

 

"I didn't know that."

 

Shigune tightened her grip on his arm slightly.

 

Daniele let out a bitter chuckle.

 

"I didn't know for sure either; even my supposed certainty is speculation, and the worst part is it seems like everyone else knows except me."

 

Ravel reached out and held Daniele's hand in a comforting manner.

 

Daniele looked at the two girls with gratitude.

 

[We're here too, partner,]

 

{Abe no Seimei or whatever else doesn't interest me, what matters is that you're an angel}

 

[ said, arsonist host lover ]

 

{💢💢💢}

 

[Wait—what are these dragons made of fire!?! In my partner's mind!? In my house!?!?!? Roaaaarrr!!!]

 

Daniele chuckled heartily at their argument, while the group continued their discussion.

----------------- 

 

In the distance, a figure sat on top of a very tall building, looking down.

 

This person, disguised as a beggar, was God himself, fleeing from Daniel and the others!

 

"I'm sorry Xiao Jin(golden), but there's nothing I can do, I swear I swear, I can only give you a hint."

 

"Hmph, that's why I don't like you guys."

 

Beside God, an arrogant and proud, but old, voice was heard.

 

The man turned his head without surprise, and what he saw was a monkey the size of a child, wearing a robe .

 

Although it resembles Wukong by about 7 out of 10, those who know them will recognize the truth.

 

Especially from his ears

 

There were three monkey ears on each side.

 

"Don't say that, Macaque"

 

This being was the Six-Eared Macaque, also known as Sun Wukong's evil counterpart and his dark side.

 

The reality was somewhat different, but it couldn't be called completely wrong either.

 

Although there were quite a few theories, neither Macaque or Wukong were interested in telling the truth; rather, they both preferred to keep people in suspense.

 

"Isn't this the kid that bastard likes? Are you sure he'll succeed? I hear Huánglóng's time is almost up."

 

"*sigh* After all this time, I wonder when you and Wukong will make peace--"

 

"Never!!!!"

 

"---But the child can do it, and you've noticed why Indra doesn't like the child, haven't you?"

 

"...the rhythm of his destiny...I can't hear it very clearly, it changes with every step."

 

"Yes, I didn't see it either.But if there's one thing I've learned from Sun Wukong, it's that sometimes the best solution is genuine chaos."

 

"You shouldn't say that, especially you shouldn't do that."

 

"Hmm, why is that?"

 

"And you're still asking?"

 

God chuckled at his dry tone; well, Macaque's attitude wasn't strange, after all, Sun Wukong had once destroyed his palace before...

 

He is the 'Jade Emperor' himself!

 

-----------------

 

The next day

 

Daniele was in a studio-like space, surrounded by lots of flowers, potted plants, a table, and many other things.

 

"Bù, bù, bù! Completely wrong."

 

Daniele covered his face with his hands.

 

It's been going on since this morning.

 

Lint was also angry.

 

"I shouldn't have come here!"

 

"No one forced you!"

 

"I thought it would be useful when I was organizing my room, how was I to know it would be this stupid!"

 

Suddenly a walnut flew at her head, yes, literally a walnut.

 

"It hurt!!"

 

There, a woman dressed in a very full robe glared at her

 

Chen Ying'er's expression was overflowing with dissatisfaction.

 

"Your incompetence doesn't make Feng Shui stupid, it makes you stupid."

 

"sorry~"

 

Lint complained while holding her head.

 

Daniele chuckled at her, beauty's gaze fixed upon the him

 

"You're the same....*sigh* I wouldn't have expected such impatience from someone as handsome as you."

 

Daniele pointed to himself.

 

"Thanks for the compliment. But what does being handsome have to do with it?"

 

Daniele was neither humble nor arrogant; let's face it, he was handsome and fully aware of it, but he still couldn't figure out its connection to Feng Shui.

 

"Simply , its aesthetics, Feng Shui is also important in terms of being pleasing to the eye."

 

Chen Ying'er sounded as if she were talking about something everyday.

 

Then she looked at them and continued.

 

"The essence of Feng Shui revolves around the universal position and harmony of everything; the impact varies even further, from ordinary materials to supernatural ones."

 

Chen Ying'er waved her hand and the tables and chairs moved.

 

Suddenly, they felt a slight relief in their hearts.

 

"This is a simple arrangement, essentially used to remove negative energy and create more peaceful environments, but as you can see..."

 

The effect disappeared with a few minor changes in the system.

 

"...this is not very good because chairs used daily are constantly being moved, so it is better to use objects that will not be moved."

 

Daniele kept his chin down.

 

"What if we adopt a mechanism where movement interacts with other objects, for example, I moved the chair back but it interacted with other extra things and the process continued, like many magic circles written one on top of the other

 

"Possible!"

 

Chen Ying'er confirmed

 

"But this is a higher-level outcome because they shouldn't conflict.Still, well done handsome, you didn't disappoint me."

 

She winked at Daniele with a flirtatious air, to which Daniele could only respond with a helpless smile.

 

".... I'm telling Shigune-paisen-owww!!!"

 

Before Lint could finish her sentence, Daniele gave her a loving kick in the shin.

 

Chen Ying'er ignored their eccentricities and let them continue.

 

They needed to start building structures with small stones instead of large-scale areas.

 

"Five Stones!!"

 

Lint raised her hand in triumph.

 

"Tsk, just luck!"

 

Daniele grumbled

 

In the background, Chen Ying'er covered her face with her hands.

 

"You're doing this on purpose, I swear you're doing this on purpose!!!"

 

"""Sorry, but it's fun"""

 

Daniele and Lint spoke without hesitation.

 

A paper fan appeared in Chen Ying'er's hand.

 

Daniele suddenly grabbed Lint by the shoulder and looked directly into her red eyes.

 

"Lint...."

 

"paisen...."

 

"Sacrifice yourself for me!"

 

"Never!!!!"

 

As Daniele tried to pull Lint in front of him, the girl with black and white hair resisted with all her might!!!

 

After that, both of them got scolded by Chen Ying'er.

 

But jokes aside, there was progress; Daniele was noticeably better, but Lint wasn't bad either.

 

The arrangements they learned were relatively calming and peaceful; lessons on more advanced versions were to come later, of course Chen Ying'er give them book.They can also conduct experiments on their own using the information in this book.

 

"Wow~ Paisen, I'm going to decorate my room with this, would you like to visit?"

 

Daniele struck her on the head with the iron fist of love.

 

"Good try, brat, you're a few years early."

 

"How rude! To a delicate lady like me!"

 

"Lady? Is that you? Please."

 

Daniele rolled his eyes sarcastically.

 

Lint pouted while the two of them thanked Chen Ying'er.

 

Chen Ying'er sighed once more as she looked at them, but handed Daniele a piece of paper with a few numbers on it.

 

As the two were leaving there, Lint couldn't resist teasing him.

 

"You're very popular, Paisen ♪"

 

He shrugged.

 

"You get used to it over time, and besides, she mostly greedy for my body."

 

What narcissism!But yes, absolutely."

 

"Then why do you call it 'narcissism,' you little...."

 

Daniele put his arm around her shoulder and ruffled her hair.

 

--------------------

 

When Daniele returned to the hotel, he saw that the others hadn't arrived yet, yes. Shigune, Ryuu, and Kaname were continuing their field research.

 

But they had managed to control the relatively important locations together; the three of them would be more than enough for the rest.

 

"Yep, I'm burying my head in my pillow and heading off to the land of cotton candy and rainbows ~ see you later, paisen"

 

Lint waved goodbye and ran into the room to sleep.

 

Daniele chuckled at her, then went to his room, picked up his phone, and pressed the video call button.

 

[Darling!!!]

 

The first to arrive was, of course, a certain chestnut-colored sunlight.

 

"Calm down Irina, I'm not running away anywhere."

 

[Boo~ calling now? Didn't you miss your beloved wifey at all?!]

 

"Of course I missed you, I wouldn't call if I didn't miss you, right?...Wait, where are you? Is that snow?"

 

[Hmm? Yes, according to Dulio-Nii, Mirana-san is here too, say hello to Mirana-san]

 

[Hello~]

 

Mirana was waving there.

 

"Are you three the only one on mission?"

 

[Of course not, Darling~ Metatron-sama's Queen is here too, as are Sariel-sama and .Xenovia, Asia-chan, and Rossweisse (who was separate from them) went to another location.]

 

Daniele couldn't help but worry.

 

Irina quickly understood from his facial expression.

 

[Don't worry~ we're not weak after all, and a Seraph leads each operation, delivering a holy sword cut to all the infidels ♪]

 

"I understand... I miss you."

 

[Hehe♪ Don't say that, Darling~]

 

[Ms. Irina! Falling! You're falling!!!!]

 

[Oh?! Oops! Anyway, Darling, don't forget to miss me a lot! And bring some souvenirs too!Bye bye!]

 

"*Chuckling* See you later"

 

Daniele then called the other girls as well.

 

Asia and Xenovia were together in a place that resembled a rainforest.There were a few people behind them

 

[Dany-san! Are you alright? Are you and Shigune-san eating well? Don't forget to brush your teeth!]

 

"Asia Asia Asia, stop! You're my fiancée, not my mother!"

 

Asia, however, was sulking in a way that melted Daniele's heart.

 

[.....what's wrong with worrying about my husband?]

 

"Arrrggghh!!!"

 

Daniele suddenly clutched his chest with a pained expression!

 

[Daniele-san!?! Are you alright!?!]

 

"...cute...."

 

[????]

 

"You're so cute~"

 

[Mou~~]

 

Daniele felt like he was going to die from cuteness.

 

[Are you bullying Asia, Dany?]

 

Daniele suddenly flinched at the sound.

 

The old man Vasco was 'smiling' at him.

 

"*Cough* Cough* Of course not"

 

Asia was giggling.

 

But Daniele's lips curved upwards as if he remembered something.

 

"Meanwhile,Bishop Mary told me about you... quite a lot of details~"

 

[*Cough*Cough*]

 

Yes, now it was his turn to feel ashamed.

 

[Dany?]

 

Via appeared on screen carrying a tree that had been uprooted on her shoulder.

 

"...what is that?"

 

[Tree]

 

"I understand that much, Via, my question is why is it on your shoulder?"

 

[Setting a trap?]

 

Daniele raised his eyebrows.

 

Eventually, Vasco had to explain the incident completely.

 

"Are you seriously hunting dragons!?"

 

[So....yes and no, we're not sure]

 

Vasco spoke in a tone that indicated he was unsure; apparently, they were in a special situation and had detected extremely toxic miasma in this area.

 

'Miasma and the Dragon... is it possible?'

 

Daniele frowned; although he wasn't sure, a specific dragon immediately came to mind.

 

"Níðhöggr?"

 

[We're not sure, but it's possible.]

 

Vasco shook his head seriously, not because he couldn't defeat Níðhöggr, he would crush him, but the problem was poison, poisonous enemies are always troublesome, especially those with potent poison.

 

"Watch out"

 

Daniele adopted the most serious tone he could muster; Evil Dragon wasn't a joke, those things were very strange.

 

[Don't worry, I'll chop his head off with my ]

 

Via tensed her biceps.

 

Daniele looked at them with a warm smile and chatted with them a little longer.

 

He also called Rossweisse and.....

 

[Ah, I'm in Norse]

 

"What are you doing there?"

 

[Well, it's a bit complicated, Lady Frejya wanted to meet with me and I couldn't refuse.]

 

'Was she the Goddess of Love or the Goddess of War?'

 

[What, are you scared?]

 

It could be said in an almost joking tone.

 

"Yes ,If you leave us, I'll cry."

 

[You!!!....why are you always like this?]

 

Daniele looked at her as she turned her face; her rosy cheeks made her very attractive.

 

"Is it wrong to make fun of a woman I find beautiful and attractive?"

 

Rossweisse didn't look at the screen, but her blush deepened.

 

Daniele's lips curved upwards.

 

"I like y----"

 

[*Dıııııttt*]

 

Daniele stared at the closed phone...then burst into laughter.

 

But suddenly Rossweisse's phone called him back.

 

Daniele opened it, though he found it a little strange.

 

But Rossweisse wasn't there; instead, there was a woman of indescribable beauty who sent a shiver down Daniele's spine.

 

"....hello Gabriel"

 

But Gabriel stood there, hands on her hips, looking like an angry tiger cub, which made Daniele feel like he was falling in love all over again. 

 

[Are you bullying Rose, Dany?]

 

Daniele frowned when he saw Rossweisse in the background giving him a smug look.

 

"Of course not ~ how could I tease Rose, after all, I like her."

 

Gabriel blinked... then twice... then three times...

 

[Ah, you've already realized your feelings for Rose! That's my Joker~ it's a shame you're not here, otherwise I'd give you a hug]

 

Daniele focused on Gabriel while giving Rossweisse, who was blushing with embarrassment and wanting to sink into the ground in the background, a satisfied look on his face.

 

"You can give me a hug when you get here, after all, I miss my dear wife too."

 

Gabriel's cheeks turned a slight rosy hue, and her gaze filled with affection; Daniele was certain that even a gay man seeing that look would surely change his orientation.

 

[When I get back...you and I can be a little closer]

 

Gabriel said in a slightly hesitant tone, playing with her hair,

 

Daniele was struck by lightning just as he understood her words.

 

'How can she say such things without her wings reacting!!!!'

 

"I... I'm also eagerly waiting."

 

Daniele's voice had unconsciously lowered as he spoke.

 

Gabriel ended the call with a "Hehe~" sound.

 

The moment the phone hung up, Daniele instantly covered his face. Luckily, he was in the Interdimensional Room, otherwise...

 

Daniele decided to look for both Lavinia and Akemi, but when he call Lavinia, he found both of them?

 

...they were both at the hot springs together.

*Gulp*

 

Daniele swallowed. If he had to defend himself... he didn't think it was an illogical move.

 

So...just look at the scene! Both women had absurdly sexy bodies, and Daniele was actively involved with both of them; it would have been strange if he hadn't reacted.

 

[Stop drooling, you little pervert, it's not like you haven't seen this before]

 

".....I wish I were there right now"

 

Lavinia giggled in a tone that resembled the most beautiful birdsong.

 

[Don't do that, Akemi~ don't torture him~ she's planning to spoil you when you come back from China, Dany ♪]

 

Daniele looked at her with a smug expression while Akemi shrugged (which caused the exaggerated peaks to tremble).

 

[This is more of a punishment.]

 

"Tsundere"

 

[Pervert]

 

We both exchanged grins.

 

[Anyway~ how was the mission, Dany? Did you encounter any problems?]

 

Daniele scratched his head and spoke roughly about what had happened.

 

[Suspicious]

 

Lavinia said directly, with one hand on her chin, and Akemi nodded.

 

[Do you have any guesses about the God mentioned?]

 

"Not just a little bit, but absolutely at the pinnacle and above of High-Class.Meanwhile, Akemi... could you research Abe no Seimei for me?"

 

[What do you have to do with Japan's Merlin, Dany?]

 

Lavinia, as a Magician, was quite curious.

 

"It's a bit complicated, but I'm pretty sure my family is related to Abe no Seimei, and if my guess is correct, it also involves the Nakiri Clan."

 

[I will do my best]

 

"Thank"

 

She smiled at him, and as he smiled back, a few more moments of affectionate teasing and playful banter passed between them.

 

When they hung up, Daniele sighed and leaned back on the bed.

 

"When should I call my family?... I'll call them before bed."

 

While thinking about this, he decided to look for something to do... until he found the brochure the officer had given him and which he had carelessly thrown aside.

 

"An auction... In China?... Let's get into something more cliché!!!"

 

Daniele suddenly felt more motivated.

 

-----------------

 

????

 

"Hmm, look at that, our Lion King has already started working!"

 

Koga spoke with hatred practically dripping from his voice, holding reports of what Daniele and his crew had been doing... especially the one involving Shigune.

 

A man leaning against the wall behind him was looking at him with contempt.

 

He had short blonde hair and brownish-red eyes; even just being there, he radiated a sense of oneness with the earth, you couldn't find him unless you looked directly at him.He was wearing a black military uniform

 

"Come on, aren't you going to answer your partner?"

 

The man remained silent, however.

 

Koga let out a sarcastic sigh.

 

"Come on, don't do this! Aren't we in this together, oh great previous mighty Yellow Dragon? No... Nakagami Nakiri!"

 

The storm brewing in China was growing increasingly fierce.
