What opportunity? Rias asked, her eyebrows furrowed.
This is about restoring balance to the world, Azazel replied with a deep voice. The Khaos Brigade keeps gathering power using Ophis, and it has grown to the point where it can oppose the alliances of major powers. If we let it continue, the world will inevitably fall into chaos.
Well, the world is already quite chaotic as it is, Soone remarked.
Thats why I thought that if the Khaos Brigade loses Ophis, they would lose their primary source of power. They wont be able to absorb new power in the na of Ophis, and their expansion will be curtailed, if not reduced, Azazel explained logically.
Tenraku and the won nodded in agreent, but there was still an important question that he hadnt addressed.
While what youre saying makes sense, do we really need to bring Ophis over to our side? Ophis was considered as dangerous as nuclear weapons in the human world. While it wouldnt explode easily, once it did, no one would be able to handle it. Even the most daring individuals wouldnt want to keep such a dangerous entity in their ho.
Well I dont see any other option, Azazel sighed. Even though the major powers have ford alliances now, these relationships are fragile at best. Regardless of where we place Ophis, it will likely undermine all our efforts.
Even if we do nothing, shes still a troubleso presence, Azazel added with a frustrated expression.
anwhile, Ophis, the central figure of this discussion, continued to quietly add sugar to her tea as if she had nothing to do with it.
So, youre just passing this trouble on to us? Tenraku couldnt help but raise an eyebrow at the reasoning.
Your place is the only one I can think of that can accept Ophis without disrupting the alliances of the major powers. Besides, Ophis herself seems interested in your place, Azazel said, nodding. But he didnt ntion that Vali, that guy, also strongly recomnded bringing Ophis to Tenraku and his group.
Ophis, are you really interested in our place? Tenraku asked with so surprise, patting Ophis, who was sitting on his lap.
Yes, Ddraig and Albion are here, Ophis replied calmly, still adding sugar to her tea. And youre my friend.
Although Tenraku had called himself her friend when he first t Ophis, he never expected that her great Dragon God mind would understand the concept of friendship.
Friend gives tasty food, She added.
Well, hearing Ophiss response, Rias and the other won couldnt help but chuckle, and even Tenraku couldnt resist patting his forehead. He had hoped for too much; it seed that anyone who fed her could be considered her friend in Ophiss eyes!
However, Tenraku couldnt help but ask, Ophis, didnt anyone in the Khaos Brigade give you food?
No, Ophis replied calmly while adding sugar to her tea.
Although soone like Ophis didnt care whether she ate or not, hearing her response, Tenraku and the won fell silent. Even the kind-hearted Asia couldnt help but show sympathy. Those villains from the Khaos Brigade were truly heartless for not even providing Ophis with food. Ophis was so pitiful.
All right, its decided. Ophis will stay with us, Tenraku said, sighing.
Haha, kid, I knew I made the right choice with you! Azazel laughed heartily, while Rias was once again filled with excitent.
Rias, you heard it too. The best choice is to keep Ophis with us.
But but this is too risky. What if she harms everyone
As for that Indeed, this was sothing that needed consideration. Tenraku thought for a mont and then raised Ophis into the air, saying, Ophis, you will temporarily stay with us until you return to the Infinite Dinsion Dinsional Gap. But you must promise that you will never harm anyone here.
Okay. Ophis looked around and nodded.
Now, is that acceptable, Rias? Tenraku smiled at Rias after gently placing Ophis back on the ground.
What can I say when you put it that way? Rias sighed with a helpless expression. Rather than believing in Ophiss promise, she believed in Tenraku, as did Akeno and Yubelluna, the other won.
So, its settled then. Ophis, from now on, youre our family mascot! In high spirits, while others might fear Ophis, Tenraku wasnt afraid at all. To him, Azazel sending Ophis over was like a hidden treasure! Pure, innocent, and possessing overwhelming power, with a little influence from Tenraku, Ophis could beco a super pet and a formidable ally!
Mascot? What does that an? Tilting her head, Ophis seed to not understand the term, and Rias and her group grew instantly nervous.
A mascot ans that well take care of you, feed you delicious food and drinks, and in return, youll bring good luck to everyone in our ho. Tenraku ruffled Ophiss forehead, answering with a warm smile.
Good luck? This mistress only bestows power, not luck. Ophis showed a slightly troubled expression, still not fully grasping the concept.
Well, well, just by staying here, youll naturally bring us good luck. Dont worry about it, Tenraku reassured her.
Oh. Since Tenraku said so, Ophis couldnt be bothered to think about it anymore and accepted her role as their mascot.
Rias and her group breathed a sigh of relief, and even Azazel wiped his brow. Tenraku really knew how to be intimidating. If he had angered Ophis, they would all have been in big trouble.
However, there was soone who looked at Tenraku with imnse admiration, a young magic user nad Le Fay. He dared to make the invincible Ophis her familys mascot. Tenraku was truly amazing!
Now that its decided, Le Fay, you will stay here to help take care of Ophis. You will also be the liaison with Valis group, in case there are any developnts on the Khaos Brigade side, Vali will contact you to relay the information to us.
Tenraku-Sama, senior mbers, I will be in your care from now on, Azazel pointed to Le Fay, and she stepped forward, bowing to everyone politely.
Polite and courteous, unlike Ophis, who exuded imnse pressure, everyone naturally welcod Le Fay.
Marion, Burent, please prepare lunch. Lets welco Ophis and Le Fay.
Azazel, join us for lunch before you go.
Ill pass. I have matters to attend to in the Underworld; I need to return imdiately.
Gasper, were leaving.
Finally shaking off the responsibility of Ophis, Azazel was still worried that Tenraku and the others might change their minds. He dragged the reluctant Gasper into the teleportation vortex and disappeared.
