Chapter 63: Return to Japan
Palace of Marquis Voban, Balkans.
"Kranjcal, I heard that the seventh King managed to summon a god before killing him?" Marquis Voban asked Liliana who was kneeling in front of him.
"Yes, my lord"
"Can you tell me about that?" Marquis Voban asked.
"The seventh king used the Gorgoneion to make a deal with Athena to help him summon Hades before killing him, my lord"
Liliana briefly explained the process of Noah's summoning of gods.
"Oh?, he made a deal with my prey and let her escape, it seems I can still hunt this escaped prey" said Marquis Voban with a vicious grin like a wolf.
"How are the preparations for the god summoning ritual I ask?" Marquis Voban asked.
Previously because Liliana didn't succeed in bringing the Gorgoneion, Marquis Voban asked her to prepare a summoning ritual instead.
"All preparations are ready except Hime-miko with high spiritual vision, my lord"
"Hime-miko?, if I'm not mistaken, the Hime-miko who survived the divine summons four years ago has a high talent for spiritual vision. Kranjcal, prepare a plane to Japan, I will take the Hime-miko myself" ordered Marquis Voban.
When Liliana heard Marquis Voban's order, she became nervous because the survivor with her four years ago was her friend, Mariya Yuri.
"Yes, my lord"
Even so, Liliana still obeyed Marquis Voban's orders, because she knew that defying the Marquis' orders was basically futile.
Meanwhile, the Japanese history compilation committee is in a state of chaos after receiving news that Marquis Voban will come and ask them to hand over Mariya Yuri as Hime-miko and prepare a place in Japan for the God summoning ritual.
They didn't mind if Marquis Voban just asked Hime-miko, but the problem was that Marquis Voban would hold a ritual in Japan.
Japan is a country with a small area and most of it is occupied, therefore the ritual of summoning gods will be held not far from settlements.
At the office of the Historical Compilation Committee, in Tokyo.
"Does anyone have any suggestions for responding to Marquis Voban's request?" Sayanomiya Kaoru, the current leader of the History Compilation Committee, asked its members.
"I think we need to prepare a desert island and hand over Mariya Yuri" said member A.
"But is there a remote island without inhabitants that could be used as a ritual site?" Member B asked.
Hearing member B's question, they fell silent because it seemed like there wasn't any.
"Do we need to release the monkey god?" Member C asked.
"No, if we release the monkey god now, it would be the same as inviting the king of martial arts to come." All members disagree with member C's proposal.
"What if we ask other Campiones for help, I heard that John Pluto Smith has a strong sense of justice, he should be able to help," suggested member A.
"Is it possible? He doesn't seem to be able to leave America at the moment because he is dealing with the Fly King organization."
"Amakasu, what do you think?" Sayanomiya Kaoru asked Touma Amakasu.
"From some information that I accidentally found out, it seems that the seventh King is related to a family called Kusanagi," answered Amaksu.
"What kind of relationship do they have? Can you tell me in more detail?" Sayanomiya asked to confirm the information.
"It seems that before the seventh King became a god slayer, he took something that helped him kill a god and promised a favor" Amakasu told the incident of Noah taking the Prometheus Slate to the other members.
Even though Noah at that time took the Prometheus Slate without anyone's knowledge, since he became a Campione, many organizations have been investigating him. So it's very easy to find out if you investigate carefully.
"Can you talk to the current Head of the Kusanagi family and convince him to use that favor to have the seventh King deal with Marquis Voban?" Sayanomiya asked.
"I'll try it," answered Amakasu seriously.
"Noah, do you really owe someone from the Kusanagi family in Japan a favor?"
Erica's voice came from inside the house while Noah was enjoying morning tea with Kanata in the yard.
"Right, is there a problem?"
"Just now Kusanagi Ichirou called to ask you to handle and expel Marquis Voban from Japan," Erica explained to Noah Kusanagi Ichirou's request.
"Was he threatened by someone when he asked for help?" Noah asked asking for a more detailed explanation because as far as he remembered, Kusanagi Ichirou didn't seem to intend to ask for anything when he took the Prometheus slate.
"No, it's just that it seems like someone from the Japanese History Compilation Committee begged him," explained Erica.
"I see, then, let's go to Japan, I haven't been to that country for a long time," said Noah nostalgically remembering the day he spent at Hagun Academy.
"What about you Kanata, do you miss home?" Noah asked Kanata in front of him.
"No, my relationship with my mother is not very harmonious, maybe Stella misses home," Kanata said lightly.
"We can come back at any time if we have time, after all the rate of time flow between worlds is not the same and time in the home world is slower than here," Noah explained to Kanata.
"Erica, prepare the plane for Japan," said Noah to Erica.
"Okay, the plane will be ready soon"
Getting off the plane, Noah and the others were greeted by a line of people wearing black suits led by a beautiful red-haired young woman dressed as a man.
"Welcome to Japan, Seventh King, I am Sayanomiya Kaoru, leader of the History Compilation Committee. I will take you to the inn."
When Sayanomiya Kaoru saw Noah and several women getting off the plane, he immediately went over to greet them.
"Then lead the way," Noah said lightly before getting into the car.
Somewhere in the realm of life and eternity there is a traditional Japanese house.
Inside the house, a black-haired middle-aged man with a thick beard wearing a simple white kimono was sitting and drinking wine from a jug.
Beside the man, there was a woman with long straight dark brown hair reaching her knees with glassy eyes wearing a kimono like a noble princess.
Currently they are looking at a bowl filled with water in front of them. On the surface of the water in the bowl, you can see a picture of Noah getting off the plane.
"Susanoo, Are you going to do something against the seventh King?" The woman asked the middle-aged man who turned out to be the heretical god in Japanese mythology, Susanoo.
"For now I will watch him first and see his personality before making a plan," answered Susanoo while sipping wine.
"You better not mess with Campione, Susanoo, they are not easy to mess with, or do you want to go back to earth again?" The woman suggested.
"Heh, Campione?, when I used to be rampant, no one could stop me" said Susanoo calmly but anyone could hear the pride in that voice.
"Then it's up to you, I won't interfere in this matter," said the woman before leaving.
