A few days passed after dealing with the Khaos Brigade's attack. On this day, Arthas and Akeno went to town together to purchase props for the upcoming school festival.
Rias enthusiastically took it upon herself to write a play, and Arthas was also dragged in to play the male lead.
But thinking about it, this was the first time he and Akeno had gone shopping together like this. Arthas's gaze involuntarily fell on Akeno.
Unlike her usual long ponytail at school, Akeno's hair was down, and she was wearing cute clothes for a young girl.
He was seeing her in boots for the first time, but he had to say that it made Akeno look more upright and her aura even more charming.
Akeno always gave people the impression of a mature older sister. Her behavior and clothing were very dignified.
He had to say that Akeno, wearing a cute high school girl's outfit today, looked more delicate and cute than usual.
Akeno herself seemed to be enjoying this shopping trip very much. The girl always acted like a young girl.
In brand-name clothing stores, she would ask like an ordinary girl, "Hey, Arthas, does this look good on me?"
"Or is this one better?", constantly asking which dress was prettier. Speaking of which, her tone was completely that of a soft, ordinary girl, and all those catchphrases that would make one think of bad things were gone.
Although they were preparing things for the school festival, it seemed to have unknowingly turned into something like a date.
"Ah, it's time to go back now. Otherwise, Rias and the others will probably be looking for me, right?"
After coming out of the aquarium, Akeno said with a smile, looking at the sun that had already risen to its peak.
Although it wasn't a perfect date, they had a lot of fun.
"Then Arthas, let's go back together first." Akeno said, taking Arthas's hand, but she stopped stiffly just as she had taken a few steps.
"I didn't expect to meet you in this place. What a coincidence." A male voice, accompanied by a wry smile, echoed.
"We were finally going to have some fun! Why, why do we have to meet this annoying brat in a place like this! I don't think it's a coincidence at all!"
A noisy voice rang out. Arthas raised an eyebrow. It seemed to be that damn Norse chief god's voice.
Naturally stepping forward and protecting Akeno behind him, Arthas looked at the four people who had appeared before him.
It was the Norse chief god Odin, wearing a hat and dressed casually, and his old acquaintance Azazel beside him. Behind them were a well-built man and a woman in a suit who looked very serious.
Even with Arthas's discerning eyes, that woman was a rare beauty. Her long silver hair gave off a feeling of looseness and airiness at first glance.
But she looked very familiar. Was she that virgin Valkyrie from that day?
"Didn't this guy go back to Norse? Why is he back again?"
Arthas asked Azazel with some confusion. The latter showed a somewhat helpless smile.
Ah, well, because the Khaos Brigade has been active again recently, Odin came over to discuss countermeasures with us.
As a guide, I'm taking him to experience some of Japan's unique features and scenery.
Azazel said somewhat reluctantly, and Arthas showed a suspicious look.
Although the explanation was seamless, Arthas felt that things weren't that simple.
"That's not true! Lord Odin, as the chief god of Norse, please pay attention to your words and actions. Going in and out of, going in and out of those places… it's too much!"
The silver-haired beauty in a suit stepped forward, seeming a little shy as she glanced at Arthas, and then seriously lectured Odin.
"What's wrong with that, Rossweisse? You're also a Valkyrie who receives heroes. You need to see more of these scenes and learn more."
"Anyway, I'm just a Valkyrie without charm… an old virgin whose age is equal to the time she hasn't had a boyfriend." For some reason, Rossweisse suddenly became depressed.
Looking to the side, it seemed that Azazel's subordinate was approaching Akeno. As this man got closer, Akeno's body began to tremble.
"Akeno, we finally have a chance to meet. Can we talk properly?"
"Sorry, I don't have the time."
Turning her back with trembling shoulders, Akeno refused the man's request, her face showing a very painful expression.
"Give me a little time. I really want to tell you something."
The man's words seemed a bit bitter, but he wasn't angry. He just pleaded in a lower voice. He reached out his hand to grab Akeno's arm, but it was stopped by Arthas.
"Who are you?"
Looking at Arthas, who had hidden Akeno behind him, the man spoke impolitely. Seeing the other party's appearance, Arthas's eyes also turned cold.
"That's what I should be saying. Who are you, and why are you harassing Akeno?"
"Um… let me introduce you. This is one of my subordinates, Baraqiel. And this is that unscientific soldier kid from the Gremory household."
Azazel stepped forward, nudging Baraqiel with his elbow to signal him to be polite.
Baraqiel was different from Odin. The old man, who had seen Arthas challenge Ophis, was very afraid of him, but Baraqiel didn't think so.
In his opinion, the so-called strongest soldier was just a fabricated title. What could a reincarnated devil be capable of?
Not to mention that his daughter was now hidden behind the other party. How could Baraqiel remain calm?
"Baraqiel?"
Hearing Azazel's introduction, Arthas also raised an eyebrow slightly. He was naturally familiar with the name Baraqiel. Akeno's father, the culprit who made Akeno who she was today.
He had long heard Rias say that Akeno and her father didn't get along. Had they finally met now?
Um… actually, it's like this. Because Odin is going to stay here for a while, I'm temporarily acting as a guide.
And as your Occult Research Club teacher, I naturally can't just leave you alone, so I called Baraqiel over. I've asked him to take good care of and train you during the time I'm away.
Azazel said this very reluctantly, and Arthas rolled his eyes unhappily. He was basically certain that this was definitely Azazel's own idea.
