This woman appeared out of nowhere, she popped up twelve wings in front of all these people and now she claims Anna is her objective. Hasshaku-sama got on guard and so did I, but this woman, she took a step towards Anna...
And tripped on one of her wings, falling face flat on the ground.
"Ouch!" (Gabriel)
"A-Are you okay?!" (Anna)
"..." (Ray)
"..." (Kuu)
[I don't think you have to be careful around this woman, Ray] Elysir mirrored my thoughts.
"I know, she's just..."
[A total klutz...]
"Oh look she must be a cosplayer!" The onlookers that gawked at the sudden appearance of an angel from heaven, all sighed in relief and concluded that perhaps she was just one of those foolish cosplayers from nowadays.
The seraph lost her prestige just like that. Anna helped her up and due to how uncomfortable she was, Gabriel made her wings disappear and rubbed her face.
"Thank you so much, you're certainly a cute saintess~"
Gabriel took the chance to cuddle my girl as we let our guard down.
"If you want to cuddle that girl, you have to pay a fee, Seraph... she isn't free" Before I could even say anything, Hasshaku-sama pulled Anna away from Gabriel.
'What are you, a pimp?'.
"Hmph! In any case. If our god has sent us to protect you, that can only mean you're our new saintess!"
'Ray-chan, help!' The girl's eyes screamed at me, all she loved was sleeping, hanging out with me and eating snacks and Youkais, this girl wasn't ready for what being a saint entailed and I don't even know where all this was coming from.
[We may need another meeting, as ridiculous as it sounds, she seems to be a high-ranked officer of some group].
"I think there may be some sort of misunderstanding, Gabriel... but you can come to our hotel and we can discuss, I mean... she's not in danger anymore".
"Then please, I also have to inform my brother that I found her... to have met you like this, it must be fate~"
"Yeah yeah, sure..."
Thankfully we found her before the drunkards took over the streets, otherwise, who knows what might have happened to some foreign beauty sticking her butt like that and stuck between metal bars.
[I have seen enough hentai to know where that was going~].
I bet you do, and you shouldn't be proud of it, Ely.

We headed back to the hotel and a relationship of love and hate surged between Anna and Gabriel along the way. How to say it? she's so gorgeous, charming and sweet... it is impossible not to like her even after knowing her for just a few minutes. She's cheerful and makes you laugh with her shenanigans.
But alas, she also likes snacks. It didn't matter how cute Gabriel was, only I could touch Anna's snacks without her getting upset about it. The poor angel doesn't even know what she did to piss off Anna like that.
"Anna-chan..."
"Hmph!"
She tried to get my friend's acknowledgement but all she got was her cold shoulder.
"These two would get along well~" Hasshaku-sama commented, she told me that even she found Gabriel cute but naturally felt like avoiding her due to her holy aura.
Upon arriving we checked up, it was the 'Sapporo Grand Hotel' and Yasaka for some reason felt the necessity to book the whole hotel. She said that due to us belonging to the supernatural, it was better that we didn't come into contact with mortals as much as possible.
"Yasaka, we have a problem" I entered the room and stated, only to get rooted to my place upon noticing she had... guests.
"Actually, Ray-sama. We have a problem..."
"It's been a while, Ray-sama, Anna-sama... I see you have been healthy".
"Heya! Ray-kun!".
"Did you miss me?~"
On the massive table Yasaka was sitting on one side with both Sanae and Yuki at either side of her and on the opposite side, there were some people I knew and some I didn't.
"Grayfia, Akeno and Rias..."
Aside from them, there were also three more individuals. One of them was a man with long red hair that resembled Rias and formal attire. Next to him sat two blonde men wearing tuxes who put their gazes on me first and then on Gabriel.
"Ray-sama please take a sit before we start with the introductions." Yasaka beaconed to me and even prepared a chair for me with an attentiveness that wasn't lost in anyone's eyes.
And so the introductions began, I don't know when this trip to Hokkaido morphed into a diplomatic issue, but it did.
One of the Satans of Hell, Sirzechs Lucifer; arrived alongside his maid, Grayfia Lucifuge and his little sister Rias; who in part came accompanied by her servant, Akeno.
One of the Seraphs of the Heavens, Michael arrived accompanied by another two Seraphs, his sister Gabriel and his brother Metatron.
There are devils and angels reunited in this room, never thought I'd see this.
"Before we start, I have one question... why are we all even reunited here?" I asked first of all as it can't be a coincidence that both sides came together the same day.
"It is all very simple, Ray-sama. Hokkaido is a renowned Asian hotspot for the supernatural community. On this island you will find devils, fallen angels, ancient myths and legends, everyone concealed in this small city... a gigantic Limbo Domain in Mount Yotei wouldn't go unnoticed. We were informed by a group of devils and we sent a small group to investigate the issue. What we didn't expect was that such amount of powerhouses was involved in this event, so we quickly hurried over" Grayfia explained.
"In particular I came personally because of the involvement of two individuals. Osiris and the White Dragon Emperor" Sirzechs added further intel, he looked like a lazy individual.
"The White Dragon Emperor, you mean that boy Vali?"
"I'm afraid we didn't have the chance to meet him but yes, it is great to know that a new generation of White Dragon Emperor has finally awakened, although it is disheartening to know that he is our enemy" Sirzechs' sighed.
"In our case, we weren't informed by the church fast enough... our influence doesn't spread as widely in Hokkaido as you may expect, Ray-kun" Michael interjected, pointing a finger at the skies.
"We were told by lord father that a girl named Yamada Anna was in a perilous situation in Hokkaido, Mount Yotei. There was a threat that couldn't be overlooked and hence, we hurried and got on the move... although we may have reached a little late compared to the rest for... reasons".
All eyes glared at Gabriel who cutely bonked her own head and stuck out her tongue, "I got lost, tehe~"
'Don't Tehe~ us! The saintess could have died you know!?'
I sighed and tapped my fingers on the table.
"And the reason for this meeting?"
"There are many but most concerning of all is Chaos Brigade, Ray-sama. If we have a green light to start this meeting then I'd prefer those unconcerned to leave the room... and the two goddesses that have yet to appear... to manifest yourselves" Grayfia's voice deepened.
*RUMBLE!*
A warm energy started to spread in the room. Her appearance wasn't so flashy but Amaterasu was certainly a goddess. She manifested in a gust of flames wearing a white kimono, an immaculate expression and black hairs that reached the floor.
Her eyes met mine and I have to say, her eyes are absolutely beautiful.
"We finally meet, Osiris"
She didn't put Sirzechs or Michael in her eyes, instead... her glare looked straight at me, so hard it felt like she was trying to analyse me.
"The pleasure is mine, Amaterasu".
"We're in for a lengthy conversation... could you ask Anubis to come out~"
In her voice, there was a hint of rivalry.
[System Capacity: 52%].
[Summoning Avatar of Fortune].
Amaterasu's appearance had been casual but Elysir was the Goddess of Flashiness. She manifested in a big flaming ball that threatened to blind everyone in the room before the energy scattered and she manifested in all her Egyptian self.
"Amaterasu".
"Anubis or should I call you Elysir?~"
"Call me however you wish".
Ely sat next to me and we were finally all reunited.
"Onii-sama, I can't hear this conversation!?" Rias protested but she was being led out by Grayfia together with Akeno.
"These are private matters, Ria... be obedient and take Akeno-chan and Koneko-chan to play somewhere".
"Come, Anna-chan" Similarly Sanae and Yuki took Anna away from the room despite the reluctance of the latter, she wanted to stay with me.
"Should I be allowed to stay?~" Hasshaku-sama roguishly placed her foot on the table, uncaring of who she was sitting in front of.
"You were directly involved in the conflict, any information you have would be essential, Hasshaku-sama".
"But I don't feel like divulging anything though?~ you know I have known Chaos Brigade for a long time now, but... unless Ray-sama orders me to, I don't plan to open my mouth".
"..." I glared at her, what's her intentions, why does she need an order from me?
Elysir and Yasaka both didn't like the woman's disposition but the tall lady, instead of taking shame in those poisonous glares, winked at me.
"What exactly is your relationship with Ray-kun?"
"I have decided to acknowledge him as my master, so... in order to divulge such important information, isn't it natural that I ask for his authorisation? What do you think, Master?~"
"That Hasshaku-sama is submitting to someone?" Gasps were heard in the room from Sirzechs and Michael.
"Kuu..." Yasaka seemed to be on the verge of exploding, I don't know why she's so worked up about this. I think this woman is just teasing me.
[Looks like you caught this woman's eye... and you didn't even need to touch her? Be careful, Ray]
'I know... she's been acting weird for a while and has had an agenda but so what? I don't care what she's planning, she will spill all the beans once I touch her'.
"You can attend the meeting, Kuu..."
"Thanks, Ray-sama".
Having acknowledged her position, she sat next to Yasaka.
"This is complicated, are you aware Hasshaku-sama is regarded as a criminal in the supernatural community, Ray-kun?"
'I am not!'
"I am aware".
"Did you know she has devoured countless Angels, Devils, Youkais and other foreign myths and she's in the eye of almost every pantheon that has put their foot in Japan at least once such as the Celtics, the Asgardians and the Olympians... there is an international price for her head and that's the reason she has been concealing in Hokkaido for the last century under the guise of changing her ways?~"
This time it was Amaterasu who spoke and her voice sounded more like a giggle than anything else, as if she was enjoying the predicament I put myself in.
'Holy shit... I didn't know!'
"*cough* I-I am aware".
"Then I guess you know the consequences of having her as your servant and thus, have nothing more to say in regards to this matter, even if she's associated with you and we earnestly wish to have a positive diplomatic opinion of you, her past is just difficult to forget"
Michael, Sirzechs and Amaterasu surrendered.
"Ray-sama is a benevolent master, he took me into his entourage despite my dark past, I will love and appreciate him forever~".
'Bitch what dark past are you talking about!? I have no clue!'.
[I told you to be careful of her...]
'I did but-'
[All you did was look at her breasts once...]
I'm sorry Ely... but busty milfs must be protected, I still stand by it!
