Ruby eyes met black ones.
Black eyes drifted to Cute Woman, before looking up to the blond deity.
Red eyes gleamed, and a smile came up to his face.
The bar was empty, there was only them, and the completely confused bartender, who was both tall, and had a wolf's tail.
For him, only one conclusion was set. 16 years of extra memories, a Unique Human Heritage, and the meeting of not just one, but two familiar Gods who was extremely similar to his first lives memories.
He reincarnated, and seeing as Zeus and Hermes were looking at him with both interest and enthusiasm while Perseus cupped her chin in wonder, it was obvious they just witnessed his unnatural appearance.
So he acted quickly.
"You saw nothing. I saw nothing. Whatever just happened didn't happen and I'm stuck being extremely confused on how I'm still alive."
What? I didn't say he acted smart. Give the man a break, not to mention the fact that it succeeded in easing the atmosphere, at least the fact that the gods only laughed while agreeing nonchalantly as Asfi shook her head in exasperation proved he made the right choice.
"Gahahahaha! Sure, Sure! You're just a ghost, we saw nothing!" Zeus, The God of Lightning, The Sky, and The Ruler of Olympus threw his head back as he laughed his heart off, hands covering his stomach, while Hermes put his hands on his hips to so the same.
"Right, right! You're dead, so you can't see anything! We'll never speak of seeing nothing again! Hahahahaha! Such a funny kid really shouldn't have died and become a ghost!"
Sitting down and crossing his legs as he looked at the gods in confusion, The Virtual Sword King mumbled out words that were not meant to be heard.
"Reincarnation…? No, this is different. Compared to last time, it seems like this is an awakening of past life memories. …I escaped death twice now, is this some type of joke?"
Thankfully they weren't heard, seeing as no one spoke up, but The Gods soon got over their laughter, with Zeus himself asking.
"So, young lad. Do you got a Familia?" He had this shit eating grin as Hermes gave him a sideways glance, a flicker of surprise and enthusiasm entering his eyes while Kirito, The Ultimate Boss of The Virtual World looked up at him to respond.
"Not yet. Where are we exactly?"
"We're in Crobalt Village. That aside, I've got a proposition for you-"
"You want me to join your Familia. I can do that, contingent with the fact that you plan to go to Orario." Hermes tipped his hat to cover his face, a wide smile on his face as his eyes shined as he saw something that was thought to be impossible.
"Sure, I can do that, the names Zeus kid, what's yours?" The flickering flane was turning into a forest fire, and when the young Pure Elf responded the forest fire turned into a burning island.
"Me?"
Zeus, one of the Two Gods of the most powerful Familas in Orario's history had a gained renewed determination. The unexpected appearance of the boy not only gave him the hope he once lost, but it made him feel like a Divine Gift from the upper realm was placed in his hands, fueling the demeanor of The Holy Executioner.
"I'm Kazuto Kirigaya. But you can call me Kirito." As he grinned with a confident air. And so, on that very day, while a spiritual attraction forced the heads of 8 women around the world to turn to their direction, a Red-Haired man toasted a glass of beer to the sky.
"It seems like that guy has come back too. Heh, until we meet again… Kirito."
TBC…
