"Albion holder, that is acceptable" replied Ophis in an emotionless tone. Out of all Dragons, she is satisfied to have Albion and his user on her side. Not that she cared about him or anything as he is just a tool to reach her goal. Ophis vanished from the meeting area and everyone relaxed after that.
Even though emotionless, Ophis is an Infinite Dragon God and has the power to kill them all in an instant. Even though they knew she acts like a kid, she is strong and so they keep their guard up at all times near her.
"I guess that's it," said someone and everyone dispersed after that.
"Did you see her?" Vali asked his companion, Kuroka.
"Yes. She has grown well" replied Kuroka about Koneko.
"Find anything interesting there?"
"What are we talking about? Someone, to make babies?" Asked Kuroka in a teasing tone.
"Yes. Something like that. About this, Naruto guy"
"Yes, I saw him. Quite an eye candy to watch"
"Is he strong?" Asked Vali with a hungry look.
"I don't know. He didn't fight anyone when I was there. So I can't tell" replied Kuroka.
"I think she is hiding something, Vali" came the voice of Albion.
"Why do you think that? How do you know?" Asked Vali through their connection?
"I can't say for sure, but she is definitely hiding something"
"Do you is it related to this Naruto guy?"
"I don't know. We'll wait and give her time. Maybe she'll open up" said Albion. Vali agreed with him.
"Oh," said Vali in a disappointed tone in the outside world.
"Why the sudden interest?"
"Heard some interesting things about him, that's all"
"Like?"
"Like he is the Shadow Dragon etc" said Vali looking at Kuroka. Kuroka didn't even miss a step or give any reaction.
"How so?"
"Albion Sensed Skiadrum's Awakening a few years ago. He doesn't know if Ddraig sensed it or not. But Albion is sure that this Skiadrum, the Shadow Dragon will come for him as they share an interesting history" explained Vali.
"Well, if I see him, you'll be the first person I inform," said Kuroka cooly. Vali nodded in satisfaction and they both vanished into their teleportation circles.
Scene Break
After a few days, Kuoh
It's been a few days and Naruto's first-year exams are done and the blonde wrote them well though he doesn't care for them much.
"It's time for vacation I guess," said Naruto looking at Kuoh Academy. He is on his way home and will leave to meet a few of his acquaintances and other people on his list in the Underworld when a sudden call interrupted him.
'Naruto, can you hear me?' Asked a familiar green-haired Devil.
"Yes, Ajuka. What is it?"
'I have some work for you. Can you come to my lab?'
"When?" Asked Naruto. If Ajuka is calling for him, then that is going to be something important as he knows Ajuka's nature.
'No hurry. You can come at your leisure. Be here before tomorrow evening,' said Ajuka.
"Yea. I'll be" said Naruto and the magic circle in his ear dispersed. He walked home lazily.
"I'm home," said Naruto.
"Welcome home, Naruto-kun" came a familiar voice. Naruto turned to see Miya standing at the door with her hands open. They hugged and she kissed him as a welcome gesture.
"What a surprise. I didn't expect you here" said Naruto.
"I heard you are on summer vacation and came here," said Miya with a smile.
"Who is going to take care of our office then?" He asked curiously.
"That's going to be me," said Reni, walking towards them in a business suit.
"Wow, Reni-chan. You look hot in that suit"
"See, he likes me more," said Reni with her tongue out to Miya. Miya smiled at her childish act. A figure forming behind her, Naruto squeezed her hand and the figure dispersed.
"Yea, yea. But I'm going to be the one to spend time with him this summer" said Miya in a happy tone.
"I know," said Reni. She is happy to sacrifice a few months to Miya of her Naruto time and she knows it is not going to belong. Just a few weeks and she'll be back with her Naruto-kun as she is the Vice President of his Club.
"Well, I am off then," said Reni and with a kiss, she vanished in an Uzumaki magic circle to the modern publications office.
"We're free now. Come on, it's been long" asked, Miya.
"I know, I know. But you should recover by tomorrow, we are going to the Underworld" said Naruto and with a smile followed her. The night-long pleasure continued and the next day came.
