|3rd POV|
Yasaka and Kunou arrive at their home with a face full of smiles. When they arrive, one of her bodyguards bows to her and says.
"Welcome back, Lady Yasaka."
"Is there anything I should have known when I was away?"
Karasu Tengu nods his head and gives her a piece of paper.
"Lady Serafall came here last to formally request an audience with you."
While they can use phones and magic to ask for an audience, it is considered rude. The supernatural world prefers the traditional way in formal meetings, especially the people in Asia. The higher Gods in China will smite you if you dare to call them using magic to ask for an audience.
Yasaka nods and takes the letter. She reads them for a minute and says.
"I will write the invitation. Tell the head servant to prepare a feast to welcome her."
"Of course, my lady."
"Anything else?"
"Yes. The head of the Shadow Agents wants to know if you are available to meet her."
"Really? Now?"
"She did not want to rush you but preferred if you could meet her immediately."
"I see. Send her in. I will meet her now."
"Of course."
Yasaka continues to walk to the meeting room while Karasu Tengu disappears into the shadows. She enters the meeting room and places the goods she has been holding the entire time.
The box on the table is the food Ryan made this morning. While it was not as good as her personal chef, it had the feeling of home she longed for.
When she opens the box, she takes the onigiri inside and then eats it. As she expected, the filling is not as good as the one her chef makes, but it has a sensation that her chef cannot make.
She eats three of the onigiri before she hears someone knocking on the door. Yasaka opened up a scroll and put the box on it. She creates a few hand gestures, and suddenly the box disappears into the scroll.
She wipes her mouth and says.
"Come in."
Yasaka can see a mouse youkai enter the meeting room when the door opens. She can see the mouse Youkai sniff the air for a second and says.
"Is that cheese?"
Yasaka can only sigh and say.
"Yes. It was my breakfast."
"Fufufufu~ Is that from your new mate? I can smell him from here, you know?"
Yasaka can only smile at her oldest friend and trusted ally.
"Yes, Haruka. He already marks me as her woman, and the only thing is to make it official."
"Fufufufu~ Congratulations, my lady."
"Thank you. Anyway, let's get to business. What do you want to talk to me about?"
After hearing that word, Haruna's expression changed immediately. Gone is the playful and flirty expression and now replaced with a serious and cold expression.
"Yes. I'm sorry to call you this soon, but I have a report that only your ear can hear."
"Protocol V-1167."
"Yes, my lady!"
After she says that, Yasaka and Haruka make twenty-hand gestures and slam their hands on the table. A second later, a dome made of energy and runic language appears around them. This is a magic branch that only people with chakra can use.
This is Seal, the equivalent of Rune in the western part of the world. Just like runes, Seal can be expanded limitlessly as long as you have enough fuel and creativity to make it work.
Among them is this seal that makes sure not a single person knows what is discussed inside the dome. Even Gods need quite a bit of their power to pierce through this seal, and the caster will know the attempt to breach the seal and can stop talking about their secret.
"We are good. Tell me"
"Yes. Last week, one of our men who stay in the Naberius territory saw something disturbing,"
Haruka takes out a stack of paper from the scroll on her belt and lets Yasaka look at them. The leader of the East Youkai looks at the paper on the table and frowns. Her frown gets deeper and deeper the longer she looks at the paper on the table.
The paper shows her mostly a picture of someone, but that picture shows something disturbing. What is in the picture is the photo of Verlion Naberius, the previous Lord of the Naberius clan and the one supposedly still in jail according to the four Satan.
"Are you sure this is real?"
"Yes, my lady. The agent in that area is a hundred percent sure of the authenticity."
"That means Satan cannot be trusted with this simple task. The Devil Race looked down upon us long enough. I think we should do something about this. Contact Nurarihyon and tell him about this situation. Tell him this is the time to ensure the Naberius Clan is gone. Tell him I want a meeting to discuss this situation."
"Of course, my lady."
"Good. Go."
After she says that, the barrier disappears alongside Haruka.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I look at the people running around this part of the campus. Did something happen?
"Ryan!"
I look to the side and see Yuki and Karin walk toward me.
"Karin. Yuki. How are you?"
"We are doing great!"
"En"
I smile at them, and the three of us walk to the training ground. While walking, I decided to ask them something.
"Do you guys know about what is happening? The people here look really busy. Busier than usual."
"Oh, that!"
Karin looks at me and says.
"Do you remember when I said that the devil will come?"
"Yeah."
"And they will come now. There will be a meeting later this evening. The people here look busy because some of them will be called to the palace. I hear Lady Yasaka wants some of the professors to come with her."
"Do you know who will come?"
"I don't know that. However, I have a feeling it will be the head healer and one more professor."
"I see."
I guess I can see why she will be called. The head healer is a great healer. She is a real doctor with an actual degree and certificate to prove it. Not only that, her healing spell is excellent. She has taught me since the principal learned about my healing power.
"En! She will be a great help in case something happens in that meeting. Anyway! Can we continue our training, Ryan? Senjutsu training."
"Come this evening, and we can continue our training. If you continue your progress, I will let you do it in your home."
I think staying in my home is the right choice with the meeting going on. I know DxD and that getting involved in any business with the devil is a bad idea. This generation's devil is a trouble magnet, and I don't want to get myself involved.
===========================================================
It has been a rough couple of months for me. I lost my job, my house, and even my laptop. I'm broke and live from one paycheck to another.
I had a new job coming up, but I did not have a home to sleep. Right now, I'm sleeping inside a mosque that is kind enough to let me sleep as long as I take care of the place.
I'm writing this on the phone, which I only have with me after I sell most of the things I have to survive.
Please help me get enough money to pay the rent for a small house.
