Exploring another World with a System - Chapter 43
Second Floor, Living Room
Arthur is now facing the two kings, Rias and Sona who are sitting on the couch. Rias peerages, Sona’s Queen and her pawn Saji, are standing at the back of their kings, the living room will be crowded if they didn’t decide to send the rest back at school
“I guess we have to introduce our self first”
Arthur said to start the conversation
“My name Arthur D. Castel”
He said
“””…”””
“That’s it?”
Issie asked Arthur
“What?”
Arthur confusingly asked him
“After you introduce your name, isn’t suppose to follow by a shocking background?”
“I’m the Owner of A & A Coffee Shop?”
Unsurely replied by Arthur
“Ehem”
Rias cleared her throat to get their attentions then introduce herself
“I’m Rias Gremory, the heir of Gremory House”
“I’m Sona Sitri, likewise the heir of Sitri House”
Sona followed looking at Arthur with her usual compose face
She already gets herself together
“Nice to meet you” Arthur smile at them
“The two of us is a High Class Devil and our houses, also part of the 72 pillars of underworld”
Rias introduced their backgrounds
“The Kuoh town is also a devils territory and we are the current devils that govern it”
Sona added
“Tell us what a strong human like you doing here at hour territory and your intention for helping us last night”
Interrogate by Rias then the air turn intense
“We are grateful for your help last night but we need to take precautions and know what does you want or your intention”
Sona said there reasoning for coming here, she doesn’t want to form a misunderstanding and create an unnecessary conflict, base on what they witness last night, Arthur is a very powerful human that can easily defeat a being on Kokabiel’s caliber
“Hmm, where to start?”
Arthur said rubbing his nonexistent beard
“First, I’m from another world”
“””WHAT?”””
“I’m joking, the atmosphere is a little intense, and so we need to lighten it”
“””….”””
They were speechless
Arthur jokingly said, of course his from another world, but he knew that they will not believe it and take it like he is messing with them
“All I can say is that I mean no harm to all of you, as for me helping you guys, someone asked me too”
Arthur said and reassures them
“Who is the one that asked you?” Rias curiosity asked
“I’m afraid that I can’t tell you”
“You knew that it’s hard for us to trust you with just your word, right?”
Sona said to him
“I know”
Arthur replied, of course he knew it will be hard for them to fully trust him, anyone would feel uncomfortable if there is someone that can wipe the floor out of them inside their territory
“Believe or not it’s your choice, I can’t force you guys to trust me, all I want to do is run my shop and enjoy life”
Arthur casually said
They don’t know what to say, it’s true that they can’t fully trust him yet but base of his attitude he is not there enemy, they can only hope that they are right
“Even if you say that your no harm to us we still need something to compromise”
Sona suggested
“How about this then, you can send someone to monitor me until you feel comfortable having me in your territory, and”
“And?”
They simultaneously asked
“Every one of you can have a free coffee every morning, with free delivery”
“””…”””
Rias and her peerage were speechless including Saji, they thought he is going to say something or give something very important to them they didn’t expect this
“Really”
“Are you serious?”
Sona and Tsubaki on the other hand have a different reaction, everyone is looking at them strangely again but they didn’t pay them no mind and keep looking at Arthur with expectation of their face, they haven’t taste the shop coffee yet so they don’t know how it tastes, the first time they taste it they felt at peace and felt there problems wash away, it also calm there mind
They want to come back and taste the coffee again but there so much works at Student Council room, they can’t find time to do so, now that Arthur is the one that offering them with free delivery they can’t turn down the deal
“Of course”
Arthur said
“You got yourself a deal”
Sona smiles then put her right hand forward for a handshake, Arthur smiled back and exchange a handshake with her, Tsubaki is also smiling
The other just can’t believe what just happening
‘What is happening?’
‘Is this really the President?’
‘The problem solve because of a coffee?’
‘It is really that delicious?’
They were curious about the coffee, after they come up with an agreement
They part ways and still confuse on what just happened
