"What a wonderful game, Sirzechs," Odin said. "You and your teams from the Underworld are doing very well."
"Odin-Sama, you're too kind," Sirzechs said humbly. "There will be several more games before the summit meeting. If you're interested, please come and watch."
"Hahaha… then I will disturb you for a few more days," Odin said with a laugh.
After the game, Sirzechs entertained Odin and the other guests as they left the field. There is no doubt that after this battle, Rias and Sona's reputation in the Underworld will rise to new heights.
"Kamiya Tenraku, I am really looking forward to the day when I can fight with you," Sairaorg said to Tenraku.
"There will be a chance, as long as you can keep winning in the next games," Tenraku replied.
"Hahaha… don't worry, I will never lose before I fight with you!" Sairaorg said with a laugh.
Saying goodbye to Sairaorg and Seekvaira, Tenraku went to check on the girls from Rias' team.
Even though they won the game, the girls were injured and were being treated by medical staff at the moment. As Tenraku walked into the ward, he could see Koneko and Akeno lying on beds at a glance. Both had finished treatment and were resting.
"Shirone." Kuroka jumped off Tenraku, transformed back to her human form, and ran towards Koneko. Gasper, who was taking care of Koneko and Akeno, walked towards Tenraku sniffling:
"T-Tenraku-Sama, I'm so useless, I didn't help everyone at all."
Tenraku was speechless for a moment, thinking that Gasper knew he was useless, but seeing the boy cry, Tenraku couldn't bring himself to blame him anymore.
"Gasper, you still have too many weaknesses, but whether it's me, Rias, or everyone else, we will all be waiting for the day when you become a real man," Tenraku said as he patted Gasper on the shoulder to motivate him.
Tenraku knew that Gasper always wanted to become stronger and help everyone, but he couldn't help it.
"Waaaaaa… Lord Tenraku," Gasper wailed, moved by Tenraku's words. He hugged Tenraku tightly, his face covered in snot and tears.
Feeling cold, Tenraku quickly pushed Gasper away.
"Akeno, what's the matter?" Tenraku asked, coming to Akeno's bedside.
Koneko's power consumption wasn't a serious problem, but Akeno had suffered serious injuries. Although she had been treated, her face was still pale at the moment.
"I'm fine, Tenraku," Akeno said, forcing a smile, but anyone could see that the girl's smile was a bit forced, let alone Tenraku who knew her very well.
"I won't say anything about you, but be prepared, Rias will be here soon," Tenraku said while sighing and shaking his head.
Akeno's behavior made Tenraku a little angry, let alone Rias. And when Rias arrived, the door of the ward was pushed open with a loud sound, and everyone saw her walking in with a cold expression.
She was still in the same attire from the competition, meaning she rushed over without even changing her clothes. With an awe-inspiring aura exuding from her menacing body, Yubelluna and the other girls made way for Rias, and Tenraku also cast a helpless look at Akeno and stood aside.
Tenraku doesn't want to run into any bad luck at this time and Rias looks really scary at this time.
Snapped!!!
Walking over, Rias directly slapped Akeno on the face under everyone's stunned look.
"Ara, ara, Rias, if you're so fierce, everyone will hate you," Akeno said, covering her cheek and smiling indifferently.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats and just when everyone thought that Rias would be furious, but the next moment-
"Stupid Akeno, if you dare to do something like that next time, I will never forgive you, I absolutely won't forgive you!" Rias said with a choked voice as she hugged Akeno.
Akeno's heart trembled, and she, who was still trying to force a smile, suddenly showed a look of guilt:
"Sorry, Rias…"
For a while, no one in the room spoke anymore, but seeing the two tightly hugging each other, everyone couldn't help feeling a different kind of touch in their hearts.
The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and Tenraku also felt relieved. He had thought that if Rias was too aggressive, he would have to step in, but it seems that he was no longer needed.
Leaving space for the girls, Tenraku walked out of the room with Gasper in his arms.
"Master Tenraku, where are we going?" Gasper asked.
"Anywhere is good, the girls are having their moment, what are we going to do there?" Tenraku replied.
"Oh…" Gasper said.
Tenraku and Gasper left the ward together, but they ran into Azazel walking towards them not far away. Azazel was also followed by a middle-aged man with a full face of beard. Tenraku couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the man.
"Gasper, you are really useless. Anyway, I have trained you for so long, but you were killed as soon as you played," Azazel said.
"Azazel Sensei, I have let you down…" Gasper said, hanging his head in shame.
"Well, I underestimated how useless you are, but don't worry, I will train you more severely in the future, and one day I will turn you into a useful man," Azazel said.
"Azazel Sensei, thank you, I will definitely work hard!" Gasper said, determined.
"Hahaha… No, no, I will be very proud if I can train a fool like you," Azazel said as he patted Gasper on the head with a laugh. He then looked at Tenraku next to him:
"Boy, how are Gremory's little princess and her Peerages doing?"
"Rias and the others are all fine and are resting now," Tenraku replied.
"Let me introduce you. This guy is my subordinate, Baraqiel. You should have heard of his name, right?" Azazel said, gesturing towards the middle-aged man with the full beard.
Azazel introduced the man as he pointed to the middle-aged man next to him.
"Of course, the Fallen Angel cadre who can control the Power of Light and is also Akeno's father, my father-in-law." Tenraku nodded and replied with a smile on her face.
"Hahaha… You are really not polite at all!" Baraqiel said.
"Yes, he is your father-in-law," Azazel said.
"Gasper, come with me, let your Tenraku-Sama have a good chat with his father-in-law," Azazel said as he carried Gasper away, leaving only Tenraku and Baraqiel behind in a slightly awkward atmosphere.
"Cough… Father-in-law, how about going for a drink?" Tenraku said, breaking the silence and suggesting.
Staring at Tenraku for a moment, Baraqiel nodded, "That sounds good."
