32 Chapter 8 Part 3

- Silas -

"Little Brother?"

"Veldora, my little brother. Did he run away sensing me coming this way? How rude of him. But then again, he was always like that."

….

….

Is that why he was in such a hurry?

That Veldora was afraid of his sister?

"Ughh, he's in my world. Probably reading manga."

"Reading? Is this the same Veldora I know? Did you perhaps pick up some other dragon who claimed to be Veldora? What are these manga?" She laughed.

"He has taken to Manga… umm, stories from different worlds quite well."

"Stories from different words. On that note, can this place really allow people to travel between different worlds? Even to worlds outside our own?" She asked as all the Demon Lords who didn't know looked up at me.

The look was especially piercing for Leon.

"It can. But I cannot control where the gate will open. So travelling to any particular world is not within my hands."

"But it can do so, right?" She asked.

"Yes."

"I wouldn't mind travelling to a new world."

"Oh sure. I don't mind as long as you follow the basic rules. Don't cause chaos in the world. No fighting unless in self defence. Other than that, I don't see any problem."

"Hahahaha… and what makes you think I need to follow your rules? I could just throw you out and take over this place." She laughed, her gaze narrowing and her magicules rising.

Ah… she's one of those. Why can't people not cause trouble?

Snap.

I snapped my finger as her aura disappeared. Her eyes widened.

"The first and foremost rule of all… is not to cause trouble in my Restaurant. Second. I own this Restaurant. I decide what goes on inside this Restaurant. In here, it won't matter if you are strong or weak, one or a hundred, as long as I want… you will die"

I spoke calmly. I did learn how to deal with these situations the hard way. I will not let anyone push me around anymore.

"But I don't like fighting, so I will simply ban you from my Restaurant." I smiled, releasing her aura.

I thought she would be angry but she laughed instead. "Calling you the second coming of Guy was not wrong. You even have similar tempers."

"Calling me what?"

"They call you the second coming of The Lord of Darkness, Guy Crimson, Lord of the White Night, Silas. Now it seems that the name wasn't in vain."

….

….

Lord of the White Night? Just what kind of chunni people lived in this crazy ass world?

She came to me and touched my forehead lightly.

Blessing of the Ice Dragon Velzard obtained.

I heard the voice of Dantalion in my ears and looked at her in surprise.

"Ice Magic of the level you used, is rare. Till now, I was the only one who could do so. Consider this a gift for showing me something good."

"Umm thanks."

They stayed over for the dishes I had prepared. The food did calm down the Vampire Princess a bit.

I used my entire morning preparing special dishes for each person according to the information I had obtained on them. So it was not surprising.

"What is this thing called?"

"That's a pie made from Dragon Apples. I wasn't told about you attending the meeting so I couldn't prepare anything special. These are some things I keep in stock for Veldora. These apples are apparently grown in the Underworld and liked by Dragons of certain races. Along with it, from what I have seen, Dragons also seem to like bananas and dishes made from bananas and thus ice cream."

"This wine is not blood." The Vampire Demon Lord, Ruminas lifted the glass and took a sip of the juice as she asked me.

"It's Blood Berries. They can be used as substitute blood. They are generally used to recover from blood loss. Even a single berry can make a dying human recover from blood loss."

I found out that these berries were from Jiro-san's world.

Maybe I can form a Hunting Team and get some ingredients from this world for cheap. Saitama would be up for it and maybe even some of the hunters from Issac's world. Yes, it sounds quite good.

"I would like to order this in bulk. How much can you make in a month?"

Oh, a deal.

"As long as the price is right, I can produce almost endless amounts of food. How much do you require?"

"Enough to feed a hundred thousand." She smirked slyly.

"Doable." I smiled.

Technically, Blood Berries can be served as it is and I can just get them packed for takeouts. I will be raking in enough profit for the Restaurant.

We discussed the next deal and she returned back to her food, satisfied.

"Now returning back to the order of business again. We have a very big issue." Guy started.

Oh, what now?

"Yes yes. A big issue." Milim nodded her head sagely which looked completely out of place.

"Umm, what issue?" Rimuru asked.

"Name. We need a new name. We are nine demon lords now so we cannot be called Ten Great Demon Lords. Would be a shame."

"Ahh it's naming time again. I hate those things." Dino, who was sitting beside me sighed and laid his head down on the table again.

"Really? What could be so bad about naming?"

"The last one took three days and we couldn't get anywhere." He replied, sleepily. Really, his title of the Sleeping Ruler is totally apt.

Three days!

"Oh oh, I know. Let Rimuru name this time. Rimuru is great at naming." Milim shouted.

Yeah, the guy did name all those orcs. Although it was mostly alphabets by the end of it.

Rimuru was caught off guard but he still threw a few names. They were ultimately rejected. Then he looked at me. "Oi Sil, need a bit of help."

Hmm.

What can be the name of a group of Demon Lords?

A group of Demon Lords?

Nine Demon Lords.

"How about the Nine Hells. You know, how according to the myths, there are nine layers of hell, ruled by Demons. There are Nine of us. So, Nine Hells. Each ruling their own territory."

"Ohh. Sounds cool." Milim agreed.

Thank you Milim. I knew I could trust you.

"Nine Hells, yes. It sounds appropriate." Dagrule agreed. This guy was the sanest person in the entire council from what I could see.

"Umm Nine Hells, sure. Why not?" Dino agreed.

"I don't mind." Leon said. "Just finish this already."

The agreement was reached and the new council of the Demon Lords were called the Nine Hells.

Finally, it was time for everyone to leave.

Guy approached me and put a hand on my cheek… leaning in for a kiss. I froze for a fraction of a second before pulling back.

WHAT THE FUCK!

"Oh, am I perhaps not to your liking? I thought this would be a perfectly good way to thank you."

No. It wouldn't.

Yup. It's confirmed. All Demon Lords are weird.

"I… appreciate your intentions but I am not into guys."

"Oh, I can solve it quite easily. Daemons can change gender at will. So, would you like me to become a woman to lay with you?"

….

I searched for any words to reply back.

Thankfully, help came in at this time.

"Oi Guy, what are you doing?" Milim flew between us quickly, shielding me. I won't lie, but for the first time, I felt like she could be a suitable big sister.

With Milim's protection, I was spared the awkward situation.

Two hours later, Veldora returned, accompanied by a red haired guy.

"Silas, my friend. I have brought a guest kuahahahaha." He laughed as soon as he entered. I looked out from my kitchen and saw them taking a seat.

"Welcome back. So, who is your friend? Weren't you in the Manga company? How did you guys meet? " I asked him as I served them both something to eat.

"His name is Great Red. It's a funny story."

And then, Veldora began his own adventure story.

"It all started when I wanted to get the next volume of Dragon Ball Z only to see the biggest hearsay I had ever seen. Drag So Ball. They call a legend like the DragonBall series, Drag So Ball. How outrageous! So, I decided to do the only sane thing… and blow up the company who prints these manga!"

And just like that, the typical adventure story became a horror story.

"You didn't do that, did you!" I almost shouted.

"Kuahahahaha I was stopped by the Lavinia girl. So I just went out for a walk."

"A walk?"

"A very enthusiastic walk."

….

"So, while I was taking a walk, I met a girl, a dragon. I didn't know there were such dragons in this world. She called herself, Ophis."

It was going to be a long and stressful tale.

- Odin -

"The fuck would I know where that blue dragon came from." He shouted as he replied to the questions of Lugh, making the God of Light quiet. "I only sensed something in the Dimensional Gap and decided to take a peak. How would I know that Great Red was fighting some other Dragon who didn't even look like he was trying. Both of them noticed me but they didn't even care and I was afraid that they would start to care so I didn't get close."

Every Major faction was shaken except maybe the Hindus.

Another one of that level and it wasn't even known? No. They weren't on the same level. This was someone who was trouncing Great Red around with barely any effort before they started fighting on something else?

"Even your Special Eye couldn't see anything?" Lugh asked, surprised.

"It didn't work. The Blue Dragon was disrupting everything I used even without trying. Magic barely worked there."

"So you didn't get any information?"

"I did seem to hear a few things which didn't make a lot of sense. But by the end of it, they seemed to have been getting along well. Anyway, the fight was really disrupting the scrying. By the end of it all I was hearing was arguments about Banana Pies and Apple Pies and about who's stronger, some Vegetable or Son Goku. Do you think that old monkey knows about the Blue Dragon? Was he someone from Indra's side? Maybe related to Vritra?"

"I don't think I know. You should be able to get in touch with Sun Wukong. You two get along well. But if you ask me, the chances of that happening are low. If Indra had someone of that level on his side, he would have attacked the Trimurti to overtake the Hindu Pantheon."

"Yes. Indra is not the type to hide such a big card. If he did have someone like this, he would be flaunting them. Not to mention, I really doubt that a dragon of such calibre would bend to someone's words or price. They are the creatures who take away things using brute force."

"Sounds about right. By the way, have you heard of the chaos in Kyoto? Apparently a group of youkai have emerged who can use Holy Magic at our level. This has caused a lot of chaos."

"Hoh, Youkai. The only one I remember is that vixen. Hmm, one of the finest pairs I've seen."

"Sigh… I did some investigation and found out that several things have happened in Japan in recent days. Although, the new Youkai group and someone at the level of the Top Ten Strongest beings is a bit out of the blue."

At this, his son Thor's ears perked up. "Really, that strong? What kind of youkai are they?"

"Oni apparently."

"Then I shall go there and take a look for myself if they really deserve to be called one of the top ten strongest beings in the world." Thor laughed and Odin had a slight headache.

When will his idiot son grow up?
