'To think Master solved the problem this quick. But that is to be expected.' Grayfia too felt the weight lift off her shoulders.
Euclid told her about Ophis and how she would come for him for deserting the Khaos Brigade. He begged her to let him return, but she dragged him here. Grayfia planned to ask Adam to help her once she proved herself. But, Adam arrived at the store with Ophis. And their bond looked something similar to a parent and a child.
'With this, I can rest easy about Euclid.' Grayfia thought refilling Ophis' plate.
Everyone had calmed down somewhat and took their seats around the grand table on the third floor for dinner.
"So, she sneaked into the kitchen of our mansion in the woods and you have been giving her food since?" Amazed at how simple yet frightening that was Rias sighed. She had no idea about Ophis' presence, from the looks of it neither did anyone else.
"Yes. But she doesn't have a place to stay, so I thought bringing her here would be good. Everyone here can take care of her and she can guard against any attackers." Adam said enjoying his vintage wine.
"I, will do my best," Ophis said her lips covered in sauce. From her appearance alone one wouldn't expect her to be such a terrifying figure. But, none of them doubted her capabilities. In the end, she was the Infinite Dragon God.
"If any of the major factions find out about this they'll lose their minds." Roygun chuckled.
She knew that even without Ophis this store was sturdy enough to defend them against all attacks. Adam had worked on the safety of this place a bit too well, the barriers she had control over would deal with anyone foolish enough to attack the place. Even then, she wouldn't pour cold water on his parade and accept his plan.
"Ophis-sama's inclusion will make this place the safest area on this planet. There is no doubt about it." She supported his decision and was ready to work on the things he said.
"It is decided then, Roygun you'll have some extra work from now on. She likes to eat." She laughed at his words, how much can a child eat?
"More, please…" Ophis rested her hands on the table and blinked in wait.
At first Roygun and the others didn't think too much of it. How much can she eat? Even if she was the Infinite Dragon God, there was no way she'd consume tons of human food when she had no real need for it, right?
"Yeah… this might be a bit of a problem…" By the end of the night, all the ingredients they had stocked up on were gone.
"Miss if she eats like this then…" One of her subordinates gulped, those ingredients should've run the store for a week.
And this store had Hundreds of people eating there daily, and that was when they didn't count the delivery.
"Don't worry, Boss gave us an increase in budget. Also, some devices that will help us get more ingredients for free." Roygun showed them a golden chest, she stuffed it with one of each vegetable and fruit they had before closing it.
With a bright flash of light, the chest reopened. Inside they found it overflowing with fresh vegetables and fruits. There were hundreds of each type, unlike the single one they put in. In simpler terms, this was a creation device that copied the ingredients. So, as long as they had even one vegetable or fruit, they wouldn't run out of it ever. And it ran on mana which they could provide, so their food crisis got fixed before it even became a real problem.
A similar device gave them unlimited milk and oil if they used it, and another turned scraps into high-quality ingredients. Tons of books full of new recipes and insights also made their way in front of them.
With this solved. They were fine with this arrangement. Even if they had to cook a lot for Ophis, it would help them improve their cooking skills which would help them work towards their, or Roygun's Master plan.
'With excellent service and food, I'll turn this place into a place that will attract everyone regardless of their faction. That way I'll build more connections for a better flow of information. And in due time, this place will become a hub where every piece of information within the Mortal and Supernatural world flows through.' Something like that could be of help to Adam after all.
Walking to her room she glanced at his door again. Today she was quite exhausted from hauling the food from the kitchen and even helping in preparing extra servings for their resident Dragon God. But, she couldn't take her rest in that room today. Not because Adam was inside. If anything that gave her more reason to do it again.
'It wouldn't be nice to intrude on a couple now would it?' Although it was tempting, she decided to sleep in her own bed for once. Roygun wanted to get along with Rias, and if she entered now it would only destroy what she tried to build.
'Wonder what they are doing inside…' She couldn't feel them or their movements even if her room was right next to his, but considering he had just returned it was obvious.
"They must be enjoying their time." And Roygun's guess wasn't far off.
"It feels good, right?" Adam asked standing behind Rias.
"Yeah," She nodded when his chin rested on her shoulder, "I like this more than I expected."
In front of them, Ophis slept on the bed like a log. They tucked her in a while ago and now watched her doze off. Even if she was a Dragon God, Ophis had the looks and mannerisms of a child. That is why they couldn't see her as anything other than a cute girl who happened to be a glutton. However, they didn't expect her to be this cute.
'It is almost as if she is our daughter… No wait! We'll have to do this in the future but with our own…' Rias' face turned red. That day may be a little far, but she could envision it.
On a normal day in a small house in the city, the kids come back from school and spend the day playing with Adam. Then after a delicious dinner, the two of them tuck them in the bed together and then return to their room.
And there they work on making more children after they weren't able to show their affection to each other for the rest of the day.
'NO NO NO! Why did it go that way?!' Steam rose from the top of her head. She didn't understand how it turned from a cutesy dream about children to an erotic escapade that quick.
"Rias, are you feeling well?" Adam's voice brought her back to reality.
"N-Nothing, it was just a stupid thought." She almost bit her tongue, but decided to play it off.
"Oh? What was it?" Yet, Adam got intrigued.
'Is she hiding something?' Watching her fidget as her eyes darted around the place, Adam understood that she had some concerns she didn't want him to know. But, he was only half right.
'I can't tell him about that!' Rias might die from embarrassment. She had to change the topic, and while scrambling to find something that would help her. She found the perfect thing.
"D-Did you talk with Akeno while I was asleep?"
