42 Chapter 42
Hearing this name, Akira, who was bewildered, quickly regained consciousness, and glanced at the woman who sat next to him.
Lavinia Reni is a human mage who belongs to the association of the strongest mages in the world, she is also a member of the Slash/Dog Team. And if that wasn't enough, she is also the possessor of the Longinus, Absolute Demise.
This woman was one of Akira's targets to become the bishop of his peerage.
He knew that if he invited her to join his peerage, she would probably refuse him, but his intention in meeting her today was not to invite her to his peerage, but just to befriend her.
In the future, he would have many opportunities to make her become part of his peerage.
"Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you." Akira nodded in her direction.
Whether it was because of Akira's handsome appearance was not known, but Lavinia had a good first impression as she looked at Akira who's face was slightly flushed.
"Hn! I am Lavinia Reni, my pleasure." She said with a smile, at the same time she turned to Azazel and said, "Why did you give drink to an underage person? Aren't you afraid of being arrested?" At the end of her speech, she gave a slight laugh.
Akira's ears twitched slightly as he heard Lavinia's beautiful voice.
Azazel who was drinking, giggled, "Ha! For creatures like the devil, age is merely a number." At the end of his speech he turned to Akira and said, "Don't you agree, Akira?"
"I think so..."
Since the effects of alcohol had not worn off, Akira's thoughts were slow, so he just agreed with Azazel's speech.
Lavinia seeing Akira agreeing with Azazel, frowned slightly as she turned her attention to Tobio who was serving drinks at the counter.
"I have completed my part of the task, besides, I discovered something interesting along the way." Her voice was serious, and she didn't seem to care about other people overhearing her conversation.
"Oh?" Tobio, who was serving drinks at the counter, looked surprised, few things could pique Lavinia's interest.
"So what did you find out?" he asked curiously.
Even Azazel who was about to drink another glass of whiskey, stopped to listen to Lavinia.
"While performing my task, I received a notification from an informant I have in the association of mages in Rosenkreutzer. He informed me that the founder of that association, Rudiger Rosenkreutz, is dead!" At the end of her speech, Lavinia's expression was stern.
Rudiger was someone she knew, after all, this man was ranked 7th in the Rating Game. So his strength was not something to show off. Besides, he contributed a lot to the mages, so the loss of someone like him was huge.
Putting his glass down, Azazel seemed to think for a few seconds before saying, "And who was responsible for killing Rudiger? After all, he was a young and healthy fellow, so he could only have been killed by someone."
"That's the interesting part of this information, Rudiger was in charge of the Heaven's Extermination Conference, which is held annually by the young devils." Speaking up to that point, Lavinia stared at Akira.
She knew that this boy next to her was a devil, and a young one at that.
Feeling Lavinia stare at him, Akira's heart sped up, he knew her gaze on him had no intention, but hearing about Rudiger, the man he had killed, it was impossible for him not to get nervous.
But since he was a good actor, he didn't let any abnormality show on his face.
"From the information I got, Rudiger was killed at the Heaven's Extermination Conference, by a man named Uchiha Madara."
"Uchiha Madara?"
Falling into deep thought, Azazel tried to remember that name, but unfortunately no person came to his mind.
Tobio was also the same as Azazel, he never heard of anyone with that name.
Akira remained silent, but his heart seemed relieved.
'Runeas didn't lie when he said he would mess up the memory of the young devils at that conference.'
Knowing that he had not been exposed, Akira was much more relaxed, and soon took another drink of the whiskey of the gods.
His face that was slightly red, turned even redder showing that the alcohol was starting to take effect.
The people around him continued to talk and speculate about this mysterious man called Uchiha Madara.
Their conversation made Akira ashamed to think how these people would react if they knew he was this mysterious man.
...
At some point in the conversation, Akira who was inebriated, started chatting happily with Azazel who seemed to be in a worse state than he was.
Even Baraqiel who had always been silent had a flushed face as he chatted happily with them.
The whiskey they were drinking could make even the strongest God drunk, so one could already imagine the state they were in.
It was as if these three men had become sworn brothers, making Lavinia who was sitting next to them feel excluded from the conversation.
"WHAT?!"
At that moment, Akira hit the counter hard, causing some shaking.
Azazel looked at Akira, and continued saying, "It's like I said, those Gods said that even if all the Longinus users got together, they could kill them with just a wave of their hand."
Akira's expression was one of anger, upon hearing what Azazel had said.
Due to the alcohol in his body, all his inhibitors were open, causing him to not know exactly what he was doing.
"These arrogant Gods, I will show them the meaning of owning a Longinus!"
Saying these words, Akira who was inebriated summoned his spear, and was about to tell Azazel to take him to this pantheon of Gods who dared to proclaim these words.
But before he could say his words, he felt a hand touch his shoulder at the same time that a female voice entered his ears.
"Akira?"
Akira's heart skipped a beat as he heard his name called by the person behind his back.
A strange feeling took over him, and when he turned his face to see who had called him, all the alcohol that was in his body seemed to have evaporated causing him to sober up.
"R- Rias?!"
