61 Luxury at it's finest.

After they arrived on the other side of the teleport circle they laid eyes on a giant skyscraper. Kurayami looked at the building confused as he looked at Azazel.

"Restaurant? Looks like a hotel."

Azazel nodded.

"That is exactly what it is. This is part of a chain of restaurants that cater to all factions with neutrality in mind. Many different pantheons and factions use this place for its neutrality. This one here is the best of the best in the heart of London.

Hearing they were in London made the girls interested in exploring. Annabeth pulled on his sleeve making him look down.

"What is it?"

She looked at him with some expectation as she had never been to London.

"After this can, we go explore. I want to look at the architecture of the place."

He nodded.

"That is fine, I guess this is a good chance to look at another country. I have been pretty exclusive to Japan and America."

Hearing him made Lavinia also request him something.

"If we have a chance can we visit Itality? I want to see my parent's graves."

She looked a little sad about that as Azrael had killed her mother figure. She did not blame him for Kurayami's and Raynare's sake, but she still did not entirely like him. He did not mind as he expected much worse, but Lavinia was a very kind girl.

Kurayami and Shin both nodded to them.

"Sure. If you want to go anywhere just say so. You do not need to ask my permission to do anything you know."

Amaterasu smiled at his answer as she informed him why they were asking.

"I see even you fall pretty to the intricacies that are women. They want to go wiht you, that is why they ask you. You are their fiance you know."

He looked at all of them who nodded in agreement. Azazel clapped to get their attention as they were getting sidetracked.

"You can explore later, for now, let's go. I and Michael reserved the whole restaurant which was not cheap."

Hearing him say that made Kurayami a little angry.

"You spent all that money for the same result that could have been done anywhere else for free? I will kill you."

Azazel shook his head at Kurayami as he was sounding dull.

"Man you sound just like Shemhazai right now."

Kurayami had good reason to be mad.

"That is money that could have gone to buy more materials or expand Grigori. Things are going to change when I take over. No more dumb purchases."

Azazel grumbled as he was really sounding like Shemhazai.

"Hey, I only paid half. Heaven is splitting the bill with us."

Kurayami did not care one bit about that.

"You're right. If we were paying the whole thing I would have destroyed that car of yours."

Kurayami was not stingy, the issue was he just saw better uses for it than renting a whole restaurant. If Shemhazai was here he would probably be hiding his tears of joy that the next Governor-General was going to be so responsible.

Too bad Kuraymi was still going to leave the paperwork to him while he did the hands-on work. Grayfia patted him on the shoulder as she was not poor either. She knew this restaurant was crazy expensive let alone reserving the whole thing.

"Master, I can split the bill as well. I am the queen of the Devil King so I got a rather large salary. I almost never splurged in my centuries of service and as I am going as the Devil's representative I can't in good conscious let you and Heaven pay all of the bills.:

Amaterasu also was far from poor, but she was similar to Kurayami in that she was not one to splurge on something like this. As such she could pay this amount as well.

"I also will pay for a 4th of the payments. That way no one has to pay too much for renting this whole thing. He is right though Azazel was reserving the whole restaurant necessary."

Everyone looked at Azazel who was considered irresponsible. Seeing the looks on their faces made him frown.

"Fine, last time I do something nice for you."

Kurayami nodded.

"Please make sure you don't if it involves renting whole luxury hotels and restaurants. At the very least consult me."

Azrael hit Azazel on the back as he was the same.

"You got lectured on spending habits by your successor. Don't you have any shame?"

Azazel rolled his eyes as he knew they would be taking back every word they said. When they went into the building the atmosphere changed. The whole place was made to suit any race so everyone in the group enjoyed the experience.

What made him especially upset was that the building sealed off 40% of the magic of all that stepped inside.

"That is surely unpleasant."

Azazel knew what he meant as he knew just how paranoid Kurayami was.

"Relax, no one is going to cause trouble here. You don't have to be on guard all the time."

He took a deep breath as he decided to just relax for once. He considered it a test to see just how comfortable he was in something like trust.

"Fine."

A teleport circle appeared in front of them and a man in a suit bowed in front of them.

"Welcome to the Onyx House Hotel. I shall lead you to the top."

Kurayami noticed a pair of horns on his head and his skin was red. He was an oni and a strong one at that in the Satan class. Not at the level of Grayfia or even Kurayami, but that was still impressive. Kurayami was confused about something.

"No offense meant, but seeing an oni as calm as you is rare."

The man was in no way offended.

"That is correct sir, my race is bred for combat and I am no exception. Despite that, one must know when to shed the armor and blades for simpler things in life. Maybe you would benefit from the same."

Hearing him say that made Kurayami take a moment to think about it. By the time he realized it, they were all seated on the top floor which made him realize maybe Azazel was right about coming here.

The Oni introduced himself as he had not done so so far.

"My name is Nishihara Mitsukuni, I shall be your waiter for this night."

He waved his hand as menu's appeared in the hands of all of them.

"Please, look at any dish here or order any that come to mind. Our chefs are magical chefs that have dedicated centuries to their trade so anything that comes to mind they will put a unique twist to it. Even Pizza can be something special in the right hands."

Kurayami decided to ask for something, not on the menu.

"How about some extremely spicy wings."

Mitsukuni smiled as he wrote down the order.

"Of course. Some of our guests are lovers of extreme spice or need extreme spice. Undead guests of ours have said they feel alive when they try our magical pepper variants that were derived from Carolina Reapers. The wings come from magic fowl with over 100 magical herbs and spices."

He expected a lot from something like that.

"Bring me 40."

The waiter took it down. Akeno was next.

"Some seafood stew."

"Of course madam, the fish were all harvested from the depths of the magical sea in the Bermuda triangle. The water, species, seasoning and broth are all magical in nature."

Esdeath smiled at a classic in her village

"Some bear shoulder roast."

Mitsukuni smiled at her request

"One of our hunters harvested a powerful Asura bear recently. The eat is tough and hard to perfect, but our master chef is known to have perfected to make it tender and delicious."

Kurayami realized that was of the same race as Borris. He did not mind as Asura bears were prolific breeders as they sometimes had up to 15 per litter. Of those 15 maybe only 3 made it out, but they were never short supply.

Azazel thought about it.

"Some venison."

Mitsukuni smiled at the order.

"Just yesterday one of our hunters bagged a Snawfus. We will prepare the tenderloin and backstraps for you, sir."

Azrael smiled as he made an order.

"Some beef sounds nice. Got some magical A5 Wagyu?"

Mitsukuni nodded.

"We raised some Minotaurs with A5 Wagyu in mind. Raised on magical herbs. Would you be fine wiht the ribs?"

Azrael nodded.

"Fall of the bone?"

"Of course."

He grinned.

"Yes."

Raynare thought of it as she made an order.

"I am in the mood for Lobster."

Mitsukuni nodded.

"Of course, we use a monster like Lobster prepared to melt in the mouth."

Kuroka had an idea.

"Some grouper. I hear it is quite good."

Mitsukuni wrote it down as he explained it in-depth about it.

"This species of grouper feeds off magical fish so its meat is tender and full of flavor."

Annabeth thought of it and had an idea.

"T-bone steak."

"A different part of our A5 category Minotaur beef. You will see why we pride yourself on it."

Latia picked out an order of crab meat which was from a crab-like monster. Grayfia chooses some clams while Amaterasu chooses some ramen. Walburga choose some stew while Natsume decided on some pizza.

(I ran out of luxury food ideas)

Once they all ordered they only waited a few minutes before their meals were done. Azazel smiled when everyone was gazing at the food with some awe as it was full of magic and smelled great.

Kurayami could not stop drooling as he looked at the wings in front of him. Azazel mocked him as he could see the look in his eyes.

"Welcome to one of the best restaurants in the world. Everything from the water, and seasoning, is magical. Prepare to have your tastebuds experience heaven."

Kurayami made his gloves to retreat and was about to eat when Mitsukuni, informed of Michael and Gabriel's arrival."

"Sir Michael and Miss Gabriel are here."

From the entrance entered both Seraphs dressed well for the occasion. Gabriel looked beautiful, but all they noticed were the tears in her eyes as she hugged the large cub in her arms. The moment Castiel saw Kurayami he struggle out of her arms and ran toward him.

Gabriel cried when Castiel replaced her with Kurayami. She could not see the aura that drew the young cub in like a moth to flames. Kurayami picked him up and looked into his eyes as Castiel chuffed happily.

"Well, aren't you just precious?

He placed him down on the floor, but not before making a pact with him. Michael noticed the sad look on Gabriel's face as he sat down on the large table. He saw both Grayfia and Amaetarasu so he knew this was bigger than he thought.

Once he sat down he and Gabriel ordered what they wanted as they prepared to talk over the meal.

"Grayfia, Amaterasu. I did not expect to see you two here."

Grayfia explained why she was there.

"I am here on the behalf of the Devil."

Amaterasu nodded.

"I represent myself and the Shinto gods. The Devils are in my land so a military alliance must involve me. For several reasons."

Michael sighed as Grigori had the initiative. Now that he was here he saw Kurayami for the first time and Shin that was sitting behind him. Shin himself was Canis Lyacon a high tier sacred gear while Incinerate Anthem was a holy relic.

These two on their own would be dangerous, but to have both in the hands of a Seraph class fallen angel was disastrous.

"Are you Kurayami?"

He nodded.

"I am the next Governor-General and I am here to explain my reason for calling you. First of all, if the Devils and Fallen enter this alliance with the Shinto gods, Heaven will be on their own."

Michael asked the important thing.

"Are you sure about Satanael?"

Azazel nodded.

"Baraqiel himself encountered him and we got this from his memory."

He pulled out a picture to show to Michael and Gabriel. When the Seraph saw it, he understood what they meant by dark.

"I understand now. This is truly something someone desperate for power would do. His body is so tainted by this malevolence that it makes me shiver to look at it."

He passed the picture to Grayfia and Amaterasu who had not seen it yet. When both of them saw it, they both knew what he meant by the chills. The runes on Sataneal's arm were far from normal and looking at them made their blood run cold.

Grayfia turned to Kurayami as he had not shown her the image only told them about it.

"Master, I now see what you mean."

Amaterasu looked at the runes and darkness on Sataneal's body.

"I can tell you know whatever gave him power is bad."

Kurayami nodded.

"He wants to kill me and take my sacred gears from me."

Now Azrael looked at both his younger siblings and took a bite from his ribs. Just as promised they were to die for.

"Now that you know, what is your choise?"

Michael and Gabriel looked at him with conflicting ideas. For one he murdered God and Lucifer destroying the balance of their pantheon. Still, he was on Grigori's side so they had to be respectful.

"Azrael you look hearty and happy."

Azrael while eating smiled and each bite would release the magic in the food which gave him some strengths gain.s It was like a few drops to a sea but it was still an increase. The girls and Kurayami were just as shocked food could do that.

When Kurayami bit down on his wings the crunch for one was perfect, but the flavor and spice made him take another bite.

"Azazel, I take back what I said before. This was a good purchase."

"Told you."

Now that they were eating Miachel brought up Galatine.

"Kurayami, you took one of our holy swords and we would like it returned."

Kurayami pulled it out of his cross and tossed it over.

"Take it, it's junk to me."

Michael noticed

Michael noticed the holy aura of the sword had gotten stronger, but he also felt a cursed feeling in it.

"I see the power of Canis Lyacon is treating you well."

Kurayami nodded as he looked at Shin sitting at his side with Castiel. He offered him a wing, but the dog refused to even smell it.

"More for me."

Gabriel looked at Castiel who had already accepted Kuraymi as his master. The funny thing was that Castiel did not like her at all. He wanted to like Gabriel, but she was female so he disliked her. His species was hard-core sexist as they hated the other gender with a passion.

In the wild, they would fight to the death if they encountered the other except during breeding season. She knew it well, but she still tried to be as kind as she could to Castiel as it was not his fault.

"His name is Castiel."

Kurayami glanced at Castiel next to him and saw his black stripes getting a little thicker. It was no accident as he felt the holy and light attributes of Castiel begin to take on his own. Small sparks of lightning coursed in his horns, and a fire burned behind the tiger's eyes.

Kurayami glanced at Gabriel with the best smile he could.

"You did the right thing. He will be the strongest of his species. I guarantee it."

Gabriel glanced at Castiel who she could see at a visible rate was already taking on characteristics of Kurayami.

"Please look after him. Despite him not like me much, I still cared for him."

Kurayami gave her the option to visit the cub when she wanted.

"Well, you can visit him when you want. I know about the trait of his species, but he seems to be more or less ok with you carrying him."

She smiled and nodded.

"I will."

Michael frowned.

"No, I refu-"

She glared at him and he shut up. That was her favorite cub and despite the trait of his species she still cared about it. She decided to ask about Kurayami's pets as she had quite a few of her own.

"How many do you have?"

He nodded.

"I have a contract with a dragon, a Quinlin, a Nemean Lion, and a divine horse from Poseidon. Castiel makes the 5th one."

Her eyes sparkled and she held his hand.

"Can I see them?"

He shook his head.

"I don't have them with me. I left them at home so they can explore my territory. I live in a death zone full of interesting animals."

Hearing where he lived made Michael look at him impressed.

"How do you deal wiht the danger?"

He shook his head.

"There is no danger at all. I was just kind to Borris the rule of the forest and he allowed me to make my home in his territory. From time to time I help him heal his wounds as he is undead."

Wounds after one became undead healed, but not ones from before. Before they got distracted Kuraaymi changed the subject.

"Let's get back on track. Michae, what is your choise in this?"

Michael decided it was for the best to agree.

"If we do agree I have one request."

Kurayami leaned forward as he waited.

"What is it?"

Michael looked at Shin who squinted his eyes at him. His cross jingled as Shin waited for the order to kill.

"We would like you to not split off from the Heave system. Every time you get stronger with your new Longinoous, more and more connections are broken."

Kurayami shook his head.

"That is a request I cannot grant. My strength will increase to the point that the Heaven system will limit me and I will break off from it soon. Instead, why don't you get stronger so you can use more of it? That is the best you can do."

Michael smiled wryly.

"Only Azrael broke the limit of a Seraph so that is easier said than done."

Kurayami shrugged.

"I am sorry, but Shin and I are not only looking at this world you know. If Satanael can do it, so can I. I want to lead an expedition into Hell itself. We are about to begin our research into other dimensions and we were going to invite Ajuka and Mephisto. Would you be interested?"

Michael thought about it and sighed.

"I will help, but I would like Grigori's aid in preparing the heaven system."

Raynare spoke up and made an interesting proposal.

"Just give it to my grandfather, he will activate more of it than you can."

Azrael shook his head.

"Not going to work, I have demonic power in me and if I activate it, I will contaminate it. Michael, I would like to introduce to you my granddaughter Raynare."

Michael and Gabriel looked at her and the small dog tag that said her name.

'Raynare Himejima.'

Michael was intrigued as he looked at Kurayami's hands full of engagement rings.

"She is marrying him?"

Azrael nodded.

"The girls here will all marry him."

Once he finished all the wings he was disappointed he did not order 100. Everyone else had finished eating and they all had to say things were better than they expected.

Well, it was nice to know you Michael, Gabriel."

Gabriel hugged him and Castiel who wanted to get out of her embrace but allowed it for how kind she was to him.

"I will visit to see his growth. I can't wait for him to get big and strong."

Kurayami nodded.

"Come whenever you want."

Michael and Gabriel returned to heaven while Azazel and Azrael also decided to return to Grigori. Now that they were free, Kurayami decided to take the girls on putting into London. He knew all the places as he had been all over the world in his past life.
