"Oreki! Is Kamisato Oreki here!?" Mari questioned loudly after she entered the tent rudely not knowing or forgetting that the people inside were important people. Mayumi followed suit also asking the same question with Suzune and Azusa looking around as they wanted to apologize for the rude behavior of Mari.
"Oreki dayo!" Oreki raises his cute arm still sitting on the lap of Miya who had given up on resisting her feelings and just let loose her Mother's urges.
Mayumi looked towards Oreki with the usual confused face.
"Aw...that's so cute!" Azusa said.
"Thank you A-chan and you're cute too" Oreki replied swiftly.
"Kya! So cute!" Azusa praised again while she ran and hugged Oreki.
"Asuza you're height is almost the same and it won't be long before he surpasses you," Mari said after seeing this and laughing at it. Even though Oreki is almost in shota form, his height is above the shoulder of Azusa. Suzunne just smiled at this cuteness in sight.
"Mou...you don't have to remind me of my height." Azusa pouted before letting go of Oreki.
"This is why you're boyfriend never compliments your cuteness which you don't have," Oreki said with a smirk.
"You...." Mari was about to go off on Oreki but stopped herself as arguing with a child would make her childish. "Who's the sassy child?" She asked while looking at Retsu and Miya who was holding Maya back because the latter wanted to jump at Azusa. Miya thought why does her Twin always want to jump on some girl getting close to Oreki without even flirting? Mari then realized that they entered the tent without permission from them. She swiftly apologized for her rude behavior.
Retsu just accepted the apology easily "As for the question about Oreki's whereabouts then he's right in front of you" Retsu said with a slight smirk.
Mari then looked in front of her but didn't see Oreki "I don't mean to disrespect you Chairman but are you pulling my leg?" She said staring suspiciously at Retsu.
The elder gentleman just smiled and didn't get angry at Mari's rude question. Seeing this the latter looks at her friends if they see something she cannot see.
Mari saw her friends having a different reaction. Suzunne is face-palming her for how slow Mari is to get it. Azusa is blushing and doing a double facepalm in embarrassment. Mayumi stared at small Oreki curiously with her eyes shining like a kid that got a new toy in the midst. Mari then looked at Miyuki and Tatsuya to ask what she had been missing but the DxD group and the rest of the First High students entered the tent too. That includes Minoru and Minami too who are a bit close now and it seems Minami got stuck by the cupid of love at first sight because she's looking at Minoru shyly from time to time which makes Minoru smile at her.
Rias looked at Shota Oreki with amusement before looking at Miya and Maya "Is this what I think it is?" She asked with a smirk while the DxD group chuckled except for Sona and Koneko.
"Hey! Don't kink shame them," Oreki said to Rias then looking to Maya who was pointing at him and saying something that the reason that they have this kind of kink is because he wants a Mommy play. While Miya did not deny the kink.
Oreki ignored them before looking at Mayumi "So Mayumin is there something I can do for you?" He asked cutely.
"This is so weird seeing him like this" Leo said.
"It's weird but it's cute," Mizuki said seriously while fixing her glasses like a villain.
"Mizuki, are you perhaps like..." Erika asked with a smirk to Mizuki the latter denied it vehemently that she does like little boys.
The silent Shizuku was being held back by her best friend Honoka because Shizuku wanted to jump and hug Oreki too even though she already knew that this was Oreki. "Please change back to your normal appearance before Shizuku makes a dumb decision and embarrasses herself" Honoka begged.
"Yeah change back, We can't take you seriously with you looking cute" Mari added.
"More like you guys can't help but want to hug me," Oreki said. He then did a quick spin before turning to his normal appearance. "Anyway back to my question Mayumin."
After hearing that, Mayumi explained what happened to her Sisters at the shopping mall while the 9SC was getting attacked from all sides.
"A kidnapping?" Miyuki asked in concern and Mayumi nodded. The latter then introduced the witness they brought with them.
"You didn't ask her yet?" Oreki asked while tilting his head.
"We did but she can only tell that the kidnapper is handsome but she can't describe it any further" Suzunne explained to the others.
"And I expect him to be not as handsome as yours truly" Oreki quipped.
"I always wanted to tell that to them," Mayumi said while nodding sagely and forgetting that her sisters were in dire.
"Hear, Hear" Maya raised her tea cup to that.
Mayumi coughed lightly to make the other forget what she said previously but was ineffective as the other students were looking at her weirdly "Anyway, we want you to read her memory to try and see the full appearance of the culprit." Mayumi seriously said.
Oreki just simply looked at the girl before saying "Done and it's Zhou Gonglin" He then stared at Maya "They really hate what happened to their little institute." He said and Maya just smirked.
The group wonders who this guy is but luckily Mayumi asks who Zhou Gonglin is to Oreki. The latter answer is that Zhou Gongjin was an Ancient Magic user from the Kunlunfang Institute in Dahan and belongs to the Ancient Magic Faction as an apprentice of Jiedo Heigu.
"Then who is this Jiedo Heigu?" Mari did a follow-up question.
"He was the leader of the faction inside Kunlunfang Institute where they go head to head against the Modern Magic faction in terms of objectives, budget, and human resources." Tatsuya was the one who answered.
"Kunfunlang Institute got completely annihilated in the past by the Yotsuba family and so they are seeking revenge by killing or kidnapping you because they thought you're a Yotsuba" the observant Erika answered. Making the others connect the dots too.
"But why is this Zhou guy kidnapped Senpai's sisters" Leo asked.
"Because they're Mayumin's sister and so rest assured, I won't let anything happen to them, I promised," Oreki said with a smile while holding the hands of Mayumi.
"Oreki.." Mayumi was about to hug Oreki but they got interrupted by the ringing of the phone from Mayumi's pocket.
Mayumi looked at her phone and saw that it was an unknown number. She then started at Oreki and later nodded before looking around and saying to the others inside the tent "It seems our culprit or one of the culprits is about to make a demand." He turns his attention to the phone and Mayumi "Put it on speaker before answering." He said.
Mayumi nodded and did what Oreki said before clicking answer.
"We are the No-Head Dragon. We have your Sisters and if you don't comply to our demand we will kill both of them.!"
Mayumi's face contorts but Oreki calms her down. She then took a deep breath "What do you want?"
"We want all the money of Kamisato Oreki to be transferred to our account before midnight."
Mayumi was about to rely but Oreki beat her to it.
"Who the hell are you guys? Chelsea Clinton?"
"Wha,? We are the No-Head Dragons!"
Oreki snatches the phone from Mayumi "Okay No-Head Dragon you fuck face. First, take a step back and literally fuck! Your own face!"
The people in the tent and the people on the other side of the phone went silent at the sudden outburst from Oreki.
"I don't know what kind of pan-Pacific bullshit power play you're trying to pull but Asia is my territory! So whatever you're thinking, you better think again otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down a godly fucking firestorm upon you! And you're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations to get a fucking binding! Resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I'm talking scorched earth motherfucker, I will massacre you! I will fuck you up!"
The old man on the side of the phone does not know how to react to that and other old men with him drop their wine glasses and cigarettes they holding to the floor.
After that rant from him, Oreki handed the phone back to Mayumi who had a face of disbelief at what she just witnessed she not only having it, but the others even emotionless Tatsuya were showing emotion too and the DxD group also got caught off guard except for Yoruichi who snickering like that dog from duck hunt.
"Wait does the United Nations still exist here?" Oreki questioned to himself out loud "It doesn't matter" He said with a shrug before turning to the laughing Yoruichi "My dear we need to interview our rat"
Yoruichi wiped the tears in her eyes before she composed herself a bit "On it" She said before using shunpo to disappear.
"Let's talk about our next move"
