Kapitel 135: Free Day

When my father hears about someone deciding to send that many slavers and other groups of people to make a mess inside Kuoh, furious is an understatement. He is FURIOUS, with all capital. After knowing about this problem, he decided to send an agency to search for some clues.

This agency is a branch military group under Falbium's wing. They are a group of people that dwell in espionage, sabotage, and killing if deemed necessary. My father decided to use the favor from my fight against Zephyrdor.

My father said there should be at least a hundred secret agents in this Kuoh Town, and they are good enough to fool Medea's bounded field. I only know five of them because of an accident. It was yesterday's daily patrol when we decided to ambush a group of suspicious people.

They are not a slaver or people that decide to create chaos in this city but rather the secret police sent by Falbium. After clearing it with my father, I apologize for disturbing their job and walk away.

Because of them, I have an easier job, and let me focus on dealing with all the menace coming to this town. The other thing I need to do is spy on Akeno and her mother, who currently still stay in the Himejima compound.

I leave that job to Rin and her familiar. Among my peerage member, she is the one who surprisingly excels in spy and assassination techniques. Almost all of her spells are good for assassination and espionage. Her favorite spell is Gandr, and it was a perfect spell for a capture mission.

An overpowering Gandr can kill a human, but they will lose most of their power and go unconscious if it is used against another race. The unconscious victim is then fed with a potent truth serum.

Anyway, I can really focus on one job with Rin taking care of Akeno for me. While I don't need to watch for Akeno as she is not really useful to me, I want to try to gather Rias' canon peerage members.

While they are filled with troubled and traumatized people, they have a high potential. I want Rias to have a powerful peerage, and this time I want them not to be traumatized because of their past.

The only people that I cannot help are Gasper Vladi and Yuuto Kiba. I don't even know how to get close to them. I guess I cannot get all of them. If the fate of this world decides Rias should have her original peerage member, then she will get it. I will try to get them together, but I will not force myself to get them together.

Speaking of Rias…

"Riser!"

I smile at her and catch her into my arms. Today is our day off from the academy, and Rias decided to visit Kuoh.

"How are you, Riser? Are you good? I'm good! I'm the first in my class! I also won the sparring competition! In the future, I will defeat you! And then defeat my brother!"

I chuckle a little at her, saying all that in the matter of a second. She is always like this when she is excited or in a sugar rush.

"That is good, Rias."

I give her a head pat and see her give me a toothy smile. While patting her head, I look at the young girl walking toward us. She is Shirone, who looks at Rias in jealousy. I smile at her and call her to walk toward me.

Just like that, both of my hands are busy patting the head of an adorable little girl. That is… a bad word without context.

"Anyway, do you guys want to look around the town?"

"Yes! Let's go! I hear there is an anime shop here! I want to see them and buy the new volume of Jojo!"

"Sure. We can go there. What about you, Shirone?"

Rias and I look at the white nekoshou and wait for her answer.

"Bakery. Nee-chan said there is a great bakery here. I tasted the cake she brought me, and I want to try their other cookies and cake."

"Ah, I know where that bakery is located. We will go there after visiting the anime store."

"En!"

==||==

I never thought that a little girl could spend more than three million yen in a day, but here we are. Rias decided to buy a limited edition figurine that cost more than five hundred thousand yen. Not only figurines, but she also buys a rare kimono when we decide to visit a traditional clothing store.

Her Japanophile showed up on this trip. She wants to visit a traditional restaurant to taste Japanese cuisine and is even willing to taste a rather funky dish called Motsunabe. It was a dish that used beef or pork innards as the main ingredient.

The funky taste is not really noticeable, but it is still there.

To my surprise, she liked it.

After visiting all the places Rias wanted to visit, we decided to visit the bakery Kuroka usually goes to. The owner of this place is a nekomata from the Nekomata village in our territory called Okayu. She is a chill woman with an addiction to Onigiri.

If Rias manages to spend four point four million yen worth of money in multiple stores, Shirone decides to spend her money in one store. You might be surprised to see how many cakes one young girl can eat in a single sitting.

After eating all the cake, cookies, and pudding, I can see Shirone vibrating as the sugar rush finally takes effect.

"So, how is it? What do you guys think of Kuoh Town?"

I look at Rias and Shirone while we are walking back home. However, before they could answer my question, I felt a bounded field just being erected by someone. I frown a little and stop Shirone and Rias. They looked at me in confusion, and by the look of it, they did not notice the bounded field.

We stay in our current position for a few seconds before I see a group of people jumping down from the building around us. They are wearing a black uniform that covers their entire body and wearing a mask.

I look at the person walking toward us before saying.

"I don't know who you are, but you guys target the wrong person."

"Heh. No. We know who you are and the person next to you. You guys are worth more than a massive island."

"If you already know about that, then you should know that she is the little sister of Sirzechs Lucifer."

"We know, and we will use her to our advantage."

"No. No. It was not what I meant. I mean, a little sister of Satan will always have at least one bodyguard and…."

Before I could say it, a figure appeared from the sky and killed twenty of them in an instant before looking at the leader of the group right in the eyes. This figure is a middle-aged man with bright blue hair and green eyes. He is wearing a haori and hakama over a kimono. He is holding a single katana in his right hand that is covered with the blood of the kidnapper.

This man is Souji Okita, one of the strongest knights in the underworld.

"And he is the strongest bodyguard someone could ask for."
