Artemis nudged Athena before speaking up again, "So, we were speculating about which Norse Gods might be sent. Do you have any insights on that?"
Amaterasu shook her head sadly, "No, we haven't received any communication from the Norse Gods yet. Verethragna from the Persian pantheon is the only one who has directly approached us. Besides you two, there are no other foreign gods present at the moment."
Artemis chuckled and remarked, "Well, let's hope they don't send that Thor guy here... Athena told me he's quite the unpleasant character."
Amaterasu politely frowned, "I would welcome Thor's presence. While he may be brusque, he is undoubtedly a formidable warrior, and I would consider him a valuable asset in the upcoming conflict."
Curious, Artemis inquired further, "So what can you tell us about that barbarian?"
Amaterasu pondered for a moment before responding, "Thor enjoys indulging in food and drink, and he is notorious for his violent nature. However, he possesses more intelligence than people give him credit for. His hammer, Mjolnir, is one of the most powerful weapons ever created. Interestingly, my brother Susanoo holds great admiration for him, although that may not necessarily be a good thing. Nevertheless, Thor's abilities would certainly prove instrumental in combating Ophis' dragon generals. So, despite his flaws, I can appreciate his potential contributions."
Artemis's eyes lit up mischievously, and she exclaimed, "I hope they send Freya! I've heard that Norse goddesses are renowned for their beauty."
Amaterasu chuckled softly, "Many of them are indeed fair-haired, or so I've heard. It seems you have a preference for blondes, sister."
Artemis, whose silver hair shimmered like moonlight with a streak of black, glanced teasingly at Athena, who had elegant brown locks. "Are you upset, Athena? Don't tell me you're bothered by being a brunette."
Athena rolled her eyes playfully and replied, "Why would I care about something as trivial as hair color?"
Amaterasu tilted her head, recalling her encounters with Norse gods and goddesses. "I have met several of the Norse deities before. Many of them do have golden hair, but there are also those with red or dark hair. Among them, Balder stood out as the epitome of beauty. Even the goddesses paled in comparison to him."
Artemis furrowed her brows in disbelief, "You found a male god more attractive than all the females?"
Amaterasu gracefully shrugged, "Beauty is subjective. In my opinion, Balder was exceptionally beautiful. Although, I've heard your brother Apollo comes close in terms of beauty."
Artemis flared up immediately, her expression turning fierce. "Don't you ever dare to eye up my brother, do you understand?"
"Forgive my rudeness. Let's return to the topic at hand. The dragon, Issei Hyoudou, is quite fascinating based on what we've learned about him," Amaterasu quickly apologized, diverting the conversation.
Athena expressed her curiosity, "In what way is he fascinating?"
Amaterasu let out a sigh, "Apparently, he has formed friendships with various beings. We have confirmed the presence of two fallen angels, the devil girl who accompanies him, and even humans. What's intriguing is that sometimes we observe him, and he inexplicably disappears. It's frustrating because we haven't been able to locate his residence. The only reliable way to track him is when he's riding his motorcycle in the city."
Artemis scoffed, "So he has some kind of secret lair then?"
"It seems likely. However, we did witness a fallen angel leader challenging him last night. They have agreed to a battle in two days. We don't know the reason behind it, but we intend to observe the confrontation," Amaterasu added.
Artemis's eyes sparkled with excitement, "That will be quite interesting. We'll get to witness his powers in action."
Curious, Athena questioned, "But why in two days? Is there a specific significance to that timeframe?"
Amaterasu sighed once more, "We have no idea. Susanoo suggested that we inquire with some of the devils in the city, but I advised against it. I don't want a war to break out between angels and devils over this matter. We already have enough to worry about with the impending threat of the dragon."
"Putting that aside, can you explain to us how the encounter with Ophis unfolded? It seems she is amassing this dragon army for some secretive purpose. What could she possibly need such an army for? She is formidable enough to take on the world alone, isn't she?" Athena interjected.
"I'm not entirely sure. I don't possess extensive knowledge about Ophis. My brother Tsukuyomi might have some insights, but I can provide you with a detailed account of what transpired," Amaterasu assured them.
Issei, Inside the Restaurant
As Issei stepped into the restaurant, his eyes scanned the surroundings until he spotted one of the cooks acknowledging his arrival. The cook immediately announced, "Everyone, Hyoudou is here! Prepare his usual order!"
"Make it a triple for me and a regular portion for my friend," Issei instructed the cook before continuing towards his preferred table.
Ingvild spoke with a hint of nostalgia, "I used to watch you come here all the time."
Issei chuckled, "It sounds a bit creepy when you put it that way. Have you ever dined here? The food is exceptional."
"No, I haven't, but I've always wanted to try it," Ingvild replied meekly.
As they approached his favorite table, Issei noticed a large, bearded foreigner devouring an enormous amount of food at a nearby table. Sitting beside him was a modest-looking silver-haired woman who seemed rather displeased with her surroundings.
Issei's gaze lingered on them, silently assessing the two strangers. "I wonder where they're from? Kuoh isn't a popular tourist destination. Ddraig, do you sense anything unusual about them?"
Ddraig responded, "I'm not entirely sure. They appear to be human. I don't detect any magical presence or auras from them."
Noticing Issei's prolonged scrutiny, Ingvild whispered nervously into his ear, "What's the matter, Issei?"
