Chapter 5 part 3

Waiting for the presence of Akio, who was a very dangerous enemy to their alliance. Since Odin had also made such a statement there was no reason to be any warier of him.

Azazel, the heir of the Gremory Clan and Sitri Clan was also present in the great hall while they were tense waiting for the arrival of visitors. it was common that Azazel was eagerly waiting for him, because after the news of Serafall came out during the negotiations. he became very interested in humans who claimed to be stranded in another world.

It is not strange for them to think that other worlds exist, their presence is evidence of the supernatural which many cannot be explained logically, but there is no concrete evidence about other worlds, so for someone researchers like Azazel are very interested in it.

While Odin invited Brundhilde who is the eldest sister of the 12 Valkyrie sisters, where strength is known throughout Asgard. the reason he invited her was certainly for the safety of the godfather of the north itself. they only anticipated events beyond their expectations. but Odin seemed wrong to invite Brundhilde because she hated Devils, let alone Sirzechs. even though Odin said with the frills of peace, she still clearly showed her dislike.

After all this time. suddenly a purple mist appeared from the empty air filling the great hall with cold. everything went into a state of alert, in this case of course making Sirzechs immediately order his men to lower their weapons. such actions could make Akio think if the alliance trapped him. He didn't want another bad event to happen to them.

Coming out of the purple mist was Akio, along with Georg. only two people, not without reason only two people went from the many idle members of the hero faction. this was due to Akio's orders, before leaving he had announced his intention to go to meet the devil alliance. of course, there was a firm refusal both from the executive and ordinary members. even Georg opposed it because he thought it would only benefit the opposing party. After all, it healed one of their champions. but Akio thought differently, before leaving he had announced his intention to go to meet the devil alliance.

But Akio thought otherwise because Issei was a hero to the underworld. therefore he intended to take advantage of that, to prevent the rebellion that occurred against the civilians to the nobles. by awakening Issei it could reduce the burden on the demon lords, and also the advantage that Akio could take from the situation for his faction was to get more data. When he finished explaining his purpose to everyone in the faction and quelled the protests, that's when they believed what Akio was doing now or in the future was for the good of the future of the hero faction in their eyes or the world.

This time saw a new light that was never brought by Cao-cao, now brought by Akio who is a protector as well as a good, firm, and intelligent leader in their eyes. they believe that if Akio leads then they can achieve human glory again in the era of devil domination.

"Well...it looks like I'm welcome here, doesn't it. Georg?" - Akio's tone was cheerful with his eyes glancing at Georg beside him.

"I don't think so, Al-san" - Georg replied without calling Akio's real name, followed by him pushing up his glasses.

The purple mist dissipated and revealed the two of them. Akio was elegantly dressed in a black shirt, a black coat with red ornaments, and grey boots that made him dashing. He also wore a small waist bag that was a box item with various functions.

While Georg as usual he wore a combination of the Japanese school uniform worn in autumn (Gakuran) and wore a wizard robe over his uniform with a furry cloak.

The entire alliance troops on guard observed the situation where Akio as the main star here was disguising his name as Al. They didn't see any great power coming from the two people even though their presence was ordinary. but even so, they all knew that it was just the pretext. because the man with silver hair there was the same person who gave terror to the underworld some time ago.

When he finished talking to his companion, Akio turned to observe all the alliance leaders, and he could see that everyone there was very wary of him.

"Well...that says a lot about their intentions, anyway" - Akio walked off with Georg following his lead.

Serafall came forward as the alliance representative to welcome Akio as their special guest.

"Welcome to the underworld, Al-san" - Her salute.

"I keep my promise, Serafall" - replied Akio who also returned Serafall's salute with a simple gesture, and Georg followed suit.

"I apologize for the inconvenience after I reported. various reactions ensued and caused this to happen" - Glancing among the crowd.

"I understand, there's no need to worry but if it was you guys who started it in the first place, then don't blame me if something happens like last time" - Akio said ending with a faint smile.

There was no pressure on his words, but Serafall knew that he was serious and it was her job to keep him comfortable here during the healing process.

"Before we get to the main topic, there are some people who want to get to know you personally they urged me before. I hope you understand"

Akio or his current pseudonym was Al. nodded in understanding, which made Serafall turn around and give a few simple gestures as a cue to make 4 people come forward.

2 middle-aged men, 1 old man, 1 mature woman with fox ears and loose kimono clothes.

"Al-san, meet them. They are the leaders of our alienation" - Serafall informed.

Akio's reaction to seeing the four alienation leaders raised one eyebrow and was intrigued by it.

"Welcome to the underworld, I am Sirzechs Lucifer" - The red-haired man introduced himself with a friendly smile forming on his face.

"Azazel, if you read or heard my name somewhere in history, then it is me" - The middle-aged man with a single golden bang waved his hand.

"Ohoho~...it seems that this old man is a little behind...I am Odin, if your eyes are observant then yes. I am a god" - Odin gave his hospitality.

The fox woman opened a folding fan (Sensu) and hid her face behind it.

Akio felt the familiar thrill of witnessing the same scene when he remembered a colleague in another world.

"Ufufufu~...I'm Yasaka, the leader of Kyoto Yokai"

Even her speaking style was the same, like many things he had to get used to from now on.

"Uhm...call me Al. From now on I'm in charge of the current hero faction" - Akio replied to the four of them.

"We hope you're comfortable here even if it's just a short visit" - Sirzechs said.

"Right, we can forget for a moment what your faction has done to the underworld. Also, are the things you stated to Serafall during the negotiations true? Have you been to another world?" Azazel asked, which surprised the other three leaders.

Akio still felt suspicious of Azazel's intentions, but he decided to answer his question carefully. "I was in another world for some time and found many interesting things. However, I'm not sure if they are relevant to our current negotiations."

"Al is right...Azazel please temper your curiosity for now" - Sirzechs prevented Azazel from going too far.

After Sirzechs warned Azazel, there was a grumbling sound. Akio turned his head and saw Azazel who looked annoyed.

"Just be quiet, Sirzechs. I just want to know what happened in that other world," Azazel said in a slightly angry tone.

Sirzechs sighed at Azazel's attitude, then it was Odin's turn to ask about something.

After Azazel calmed himself down, Odin noticed Akio and said, "I guess you don't mind if I call you son?"

Akio smiled and nodded. "Of course not, Mr. Odin. Just call me whatever is convenient for you."

Odin nodded appreciatively and said, "Very well, boy. I wonder if the magic runes you implanted in the sekiryuutei boy's body have any resemblance to the runes I created, so is this similarity just a coincidence or is there another version of me or is there someone who created the same thing?"

Akio was silent for a moment, surprised by Odin's question. After a moment, he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Odin, I don't understand what you mean by 'magic runes'. all I know about magic runes is that they're relics of ancient people"

Hearing Akio's answer, Odin nodded in understanding. He smiled and said, "I see. Too bad, but thank you for answering this old man's selfish question."

Akio chuckled at Odin's words. "No need to say thank you, Mr. Odin. I'm glad I could help answer your question."

Odin nodded in appreciation, then Sirzechs took up the conversation again. "Sorry for holding you up, we can get started"

Before they made their way to the room where Issei lay, Akio had to get something first "Wait"

Sirzechs turned around and so did everyone else, Akio ignored them all and said "I want the data first".

Hearing that, Sirzechs almost forgot his promise "Right, I almost forgot something important" - Facing forward again "Al-san, what did you use the research data for?"

"I apologize, Sirzechs, but the purpose of using this research data is still confidential and can only be known by certain trusted parties," Akio replied firmly. "However, I can assure you that its use will be of great strategic importance to our faction in the fight against our enemies." - A smile formed on his face.

The four leaders were instantly made to break out in a cold sweat by such words topped off by a smile that carried a sadistic feeling.

"Ahem...do the enemies you're referring to include us?" - Azazel bluntly asked, but the other three agreed.

Akio turned his head and replied, "I don't know...for now, your situation is that you are already considered enemies by most of my members, but for me, it depends on your future actions."
