Bab 81: Chapter: 81
Chapter: 81
The Seraphim Michael, the current leader of Heaven, sat upon his throne in the Seventh Heaven. The seventh realm was reserved only for the archangels and his father himself. It was where the Heavenly System was located; it was the throne itself. While sitting upon it, Michael could hear every single prayer in the world in real time. He could then influence the system to bestow blessings onto the people praying who were worthy of them. Michael ignored the prayers of the wicked and cruel. Even if they were ironically devout, they were still not worthy of Heaven's blessings.
Another thing the throne could do was show him the information on all of the world's current Sacred Gear holders. That's why he was currently very confused at the information he was receiving. A new Sacred Gear had entered the system. Another [Twilight Healing] had come into existence! That shouldn't have been possible, and yet it had happened. What shocked him even more was when he received the information of who was in possession of the Sacred Gear. His youngest sister, Layla, had it…
He wondered how this had come to be. Their father had NEVER given a Sacred Gear to any angel before. Although, Layla wasn't just any other Angel. She was his final child after all. Michael wondered if their Father might have foreseen his own death and chosen to bestow his last child with one last parting gift. It was odd that it had only awakened now of all times, but then again, some humans could go their entire lives without ever awakening their Sacred Gears. Michael was just glad that his youngest sister was still okay and within reach of the Heavenly System. He was sure Gabriel would be ecstatic to hear the news.

[You have leveled up!]
"Here is some tea; thank you for healing my daughter. When those monsters return, I will break them!" Yasaka declared with a grunt that promised vengeance upon the Khaos Brigade.
"This is quite good. It is also strange to see a queen preparing her own drinks. Your culture is fascinating," Sif commented.
"I'm not really a queen per se…" Yasaka stated.
"Were you elected to lead the Yokai?" I asked her.
She shook her head no. "I inherited the position from my mother, as Kunou will one day from me."
"Then you are a queen." "That's the definition of a queen." Sif and I bluntly stated at the same time. We turned to each other and laughed. Yasaka blushed but didn't argue our logic any further.
"Will you require further assistance to deal with the perpetrators of your daughter's poisoning?" Sif asked Yasaka.
The fox woman shook her head. "I thank you for the offer, but I'm afraid this is a Kyoto matter and should be dealt with as such. It was some of my retainers that betrayed my family and let the intruders into our home in the first place," she explained. "I would actually like to ask you what you desire as a reward for saving my daughter, Layla?" Yasaka asked me.
Oh right, the quest reward also said I would receive "Yasaka's Favor" as well as a Level Up. I wondered just how far I could push such a favor, though. A thought crossed my mind… The Yokai have a lot of reach within the human business world as well as the supernatural, do they not?" I asked Yasaka.
She nodded to me. "Could you offer a very lucrative job to a man in Kuoh that requires him and his family to move to Kyoto?" I asked her. "Without making it look suspicious?" I had just thought of the perfect way to use her "Favor" to help further relations between our two factions and completely screw over the Devils at the same time.
Yasaka frowned a bit. "I admit it shouldn't be too hard. You want to relocate a family out of the devil territory? Might I ask why?"
"The son of the family is the next Red Dragon Emperor. He currently should be or will soon be in the crosshairs of the two Devil princesses for enslavement," I said as I spat out that last word. That's what peerages were from my memories. Enslavement. Found Family? Camaraderie? Love? Hell no! The evil pieces came with built-in mind control that made the peerage members naturally inclined to love their "Kings" over time. Baraqiel was furious when he found out his daughter was taken by the Gremory Clan. She was spirited off to the underworld for years after that, and it was only years later that Rias and her slaves started attending human school. By then, Akeno would have been fully indoctrinated. One of my goals was to eventually give my niece back her freedom, but for that to occur, I would need a way to safely extract the evil pieces without killing the Host. Ajuka was very thorough when he created the things unfortunately. I knew with the power of the system though, I'd be able to do it.
[Damn right! I'm way better than anything some paltry mad scientist devil could ever make!]
Yasaka's eyes widened. "The Red Dragon!? He's in Kuoh?"
I nodded. "We can't let him fall into the devil's hands." Judging by Kunou's current age, which appeared to be very close to canon, he could be recruited very soon. The only reason I knew canon hasn't started yet was that Asia Argento was still currently a revered Holy Maiden in the church.
"Very well," Yasaka said. "It will be done. Now, why don't you tell me a bit more about the young man?"
