- Silas -
I quickly picked up the girl and carried her inside while Touma and Zeref-san healed the kids.
Kisuke-san offered to take a look at her to see if her soul was not injured.
At that time, Sakura quickly came up to me and checked. "Are you alright?"
"Yes. I'm fine. As you saw already, they didn't let me fight. I only used my Innate Technique once." I replied.
She nodded.
"This is quite wonderful. Her soul was not hurt in the least. Your technique is even more mysterious than I had expected."
Kisuke-san spoke while he was using spells on her to check but quickly jumped back as an Ice Statue appeared in front of him.
I sensed danger so I quickly used the power of The Restaurant to dispel it.
"Was it her poke….notPokemon….ughh, whatever it was?" Rimuru asked as he peeked from behind us.
"It would seem so. That thing is tied to her soul….quite similar to a Zanpakuto and yet completely different. It must have sensed the spells and come out to protect its owner." He finished his check and got up. "Yes. She will be fine after some rest. The possession just took some toll on her and she is exhausted."
"What about the woman who possessed her?" I asked.
"Well, she was thrown back to her own body when you did….what did you do again?" Rimuru asked.
"Jujutsu. I am learning Jujutsu. So what happened to her? Was she really?" I asked, getting back to the topic.
"She and her associates will not be disturbing you any longer." Zeref-san answered.
….
"Oh…." Was all I could say.
I looked at the blonde girl laying on one of the couches in worry.
"Don't worry. It was just a small possession." Ainz patted my shoulder.
"Which you all could have stopped. Why were you even watching her do what she wanted? It could have been dangerous, you know." I reprimanded.
"Silas."
"Hmm?"
"I am an Overlord, the highest possible class one can gain which deals with Possessions, Souls and Necromancy. Possessions of such level….I could fix with a snap of my finger. What we wanted to see is the means and abilities of magicians of your world to get more information. Only by knowing your enemy, can you prepare for them. We didn't interfere because there was no danger to begin with."
"That....makes sense." I agreed. Thinking of something, I looked at Sakura. "Sakura."
"Yes." The girl who had been silent.
"Can you please take care of this girl? I will go and see what the others are doing."
She nodded.
With that said, we walked near the entrance of the Restaurant.
"Anyways, what about them?" Ainz asked, looking back at Tobio and his group who were with the children. "From what I found out, they work for the Fallen Angels, who are enemies of devils. They could be dangerous."
….
"Tobio is a friend. He wouldn't do such a thing." I replied.
"But others might."
"I can just beat them up if they come to cause any trouble." Tohru said, patting her chest.
I was thinking about what to do when Zeref-san suggested something.
"I don't know how memory manipulation might work on people of different worlds and if others have a way to undo those so why don't we just make them take an oath, a contract of sorts that they will not reveal anything about you or this Restaurant?"
"That's….you can do that?" I asked. In jujutsu there was something called the Binding Vow but I had no idea how to use those yet.
"It should be quite easy but first we need to do something about the surroundings. We need to fix the area first and then hide this Restaurant and then we can think what to do with the children." Zeref-san said.
With the plans made, everyone got to work.
The most amazing among them was Rimuru. He created a whirlpool in his hand and swallowed everything inside and with his other hand, started throwing out fixed things. He quickly fixed the area of damage removing all the signs of a fight having taken place. It was absolutely incredible to see him work like that.
The guy was literally laying out roads by just sliding on them and fixing broken buildings the same way.
Meanwhile, the rest transferred the healed kids to the nearby park.
"We should just end them to avoid potential trouble." Irene, the woman with Zeref-san said and I saw the blonde girl who had come to fetch Tobio pale in fright.
"She is not wrong, boss." Tohru said, cracking her knuckles as her tail and horns appeared for the two to see.
"Alright, stop scaring them. Just let them sign the contracts. They won't tell anyone. I believe them."
The girl nodded profusely at my statement.
I noticed a ghost of a smirk on Irene's face as she signed the papers. I guess she is not that bad of a person after all.
The neighbours were not a problem as Kisuke-san had apparently put them all to sleep using some kind of magic at the start.
Ainz still used some kind of item to do something I don't know about. He just reassured me that no people were harmed in the act.
I took this opportunity to thank the people who helped out. "Thank you, Cid-kun."
The guy just stared at me and repeated. "As I have already told you, I am Shadow, he who lives in the shadows to hunt the shadows."
….
"....oh. Shadow-kun then. Thank you for helping me out today. Please visit us again. I would treat you to the best meal I can make." I bowed slightly.
He nodded and left quickly without any more words.
At this point, both of us knew and were just playing along.
I mean, which kid hasn't thought of being a superhero at this age. I looked at Ainz and Rimuru….and maybe adults too.
Let him enjoy.
Finally, with everything done, we got down to some questioning. And boy can Ainz play the bad cop.
The kids were apparently new with this too, well apart from the Lavinia girl who was sleeping. We were still able to get some information from them.
There are a bunch of supernatural factions in this world. They mostly hide from normal humans. When any such incident is found out, they erase the information and wipe the minds of those involved.
It was fucking MIB out there.
I guess that explains why I had no idea about them for so long.
The area I was staying in was a neutral ground of sorts .
Kyoto was ruled by the Youkai, the Eastern Youkai faction to be exact.
The other side was ruled by the Five Principal Clans, who were basically the top Onmyoji of the country.
This town was ownerless simply because it was used as a buffer zone between the two factions.
The main factions in Japan were the Shinto Gods, Youkai and the Onmyoji Clans, mainly the Five Principal Clans. The Youkai also had several other factions within them.
There were also the occasional members of the Abrahamic factions which were Angels, Devils and the Fallen Angels. I'm a Devil, a member of the race created by fucking Lucifer when he rebelled from heaven.
Yes. Apparently, in this world Lucifer created a fucking race and other angels who were kicked out of Heaven became Fallen Angels instead of Devils.
Why I was here was not revealed from the information. But I couldn't think of any good reasons for it.
Eh, who cares. I got a good life. I have no complaints about the family I got here. My parents, who were most-likely not my birth parents, treated me so well that I didn't even know I was adopted. Why would I have a problem with them?
As for conspiracy theories about them using me or what not, since there was no way of finding that out anymore, I'd rather not sully the memories of my parents with such thoughts.
A glass can be half empty or half full depending on a user's perspective. Not appreciating the fact that you have half a glass of something when many others don't even have that privilege is childish. This is the principle I have lived with. If something cannot be changed, there is no use bitching about it and making your life a pity party.
Anyways, not straying from the topic at hand.
They decided to leave the shop while Lavinia rested on the upper floor. She will be allowed to leave when she decides to sign the contract or her memories will be wiped. Sakura was taking care of her at the moment.
Tobio thanked us before going. He was quite a polite guy.
Touma also left quickly as he was getting late.
We knew that the Supernatural police would be out here in a while so we decided on a plan.
As we didn't know if they would recognise other magicians or supernatural beings I closed the restaurant and we had Saitama man the shop while the more noticeable members decided to leave for their worlds. I was welcomed by some of them to visit while the heat faded away.
"I would have invited you but I still don't know anything about the world I have been teleported to so…." Ainz said.
"You can come with me. The goblins and dwarves in my village are quite friendly." Rimuru offered.
"You are always invited to my place too." Kisuke-san said and I politely rejected.
"I think you should come to have a look at our world. You have a demon seed now so you might even learn magic suitable for you. It will help you in such situations. We can check your aptitude for different kinds of magic too. From what you have told me, you already know Curse Magic. Even in my world, Demons have great affinity for Curse Magic. Maybe you can find something for your use there."
Even Tohru wanted to offer but she was afraid that other dragons would attack me at first sight.
They looked at me and I thought for a while.
I finally decided to take Rimuru's offer as I had just reunited after a long time.
"I can do something about magic too, you know. I have some magicians and from what I have heard, there are demons and demon lords in my world too and apparently people get summoned in my world often and get magic and skills when they do so. I have also heard that sometimes, otherworlders just walk into the world and even then they get skills suitable for them. We can try to see if you get something." Rimuru offered a suggestion.
"Oh! And is this power gain almost instant?" Ainz asked, suddenly interested.
"Well, there are things like naming someone which can give them power. The goblins working under me all evolved into Hobgoblins when I named them and gained a lot of power. Since Silas is not a human, we can try and see if that works."
"That's interesting." Ainz scratched his jaw.
"What kind of skills are we talking about?" Kisuke-san asked.
"It depends on the personality and affinity of the user. It could be anything, from being good at Gardening to being able to cut space and harm True Dragons."
….
That's scary.
Also True Dragons?
Where did that come from?
Somehow I had a feeling that he was very specific about the example.
"Merging the Demon Seed by learning magic from our world would be wiser." Irene said before adding. "Although, having a stronger base to work with never hurts."
With that decided, I went to Rimuru's world.
