How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 144

Few hours have passed, inside the guest room of the Gremory Manor. “Nin nin” Brynhildr fell off her chair when she saw the duvet covering Masaru suddenly swell up as if he suddenly got pregnant, but the swelling part moved towards his neck till a familiar black-haired abyss coloured eyes popped out laying down on Masaru’s shoulder. “O- OPHIS!?” Brynhildr almost lost her consciousness from the fear and shock she felt of Ophis who suddenly came out of the blue, once again another side of the Duvet swelled and moved up revealing a silver-haired girl rest on Masaru’s other shoulder, this time Brynhildr was knocked out from shock.

Grayfia came rushing into the room and when she saw Ophis and Samsara resting on the sleeping Masaru’s shoulders she was completely stunned, ‘I knew of Samsara… But Ophis too!?’ She felt something crazy must have happened for Masaru to attract these two immortal beings to his side. “Ara? It appears Masaru is popular as always, fufu I will have him reward my patience when this is all over” Akeno who just arrived together with the girls except for Shirone who was chatting with Gasper downstairs and Ulrika & Roygun who is supporting Diana in Belial Territory.

Akeno went to sit on the other side of the bed, “But to think it is two little girls” Ingvild blushed looking at Samsara, she never saw a little girl this cute before. “Heh, it appears there is no goddess that can escape the charm of our king” Jeanne smirked as she went to get chairs for everyone to sit on. “Why is there an unconscious Valkyrie on the floor?” Stephani used her twilight healing to heal Brynhildr although there was nothing to heal, the healing power still stimulated Brynhildr to wake up.

“Where am I?” Brynhildr asked as she rubbed her forehead before continuing, “Ophis? Samsara? I must have been dreaming” Stephani giggled “You have not, they are sleeping with Masaru right now” Brynhildr froze before looking at the beautiful blonder haired girl with different coloured eyes, “A-Are you Stephani the Twilight Angel of Masaru’s Peerage?” Stephani froze as she never expected to have a nickname but still nodded.

Kuroka stood near the wall watching over Masaru, she already sensed that he was fine. Ichika entered the room carrying a tray filled with tea “Tea for everyone” Ichika began to give each of the girls a cup of tea. “Where is Ulrika, Shirone and Roygun?” Brynhildr asked when she saw almost all of the girls except for these three have gathered, “They are currently handling the last small bit of work for the Belial Territory, they should be here in an hour. As for Shirone…” Yui answered Brynhildr question.

Sakura opened the room door when someone arrived knocking on the door “Onii-sama!” Shirone came over to check on Masaru who was sleeping, when she used her Senjutsu to inspect she was shocked out of her mind, “Huh? EH!?” when everyone saw Shirone’s surprised face they all stopped talking looking towards the White Cat, even Kuroka nodded “That’s right, no one can move Ophis or Samsara, if you do then you might implicate Masaru” Kuroka answered the question instead.

“What do you mean of this?” Everest came over with heavy stomps, Masaru was her only mate and she refuses to lose him her family like she lost her mother when she could do nothing. “Could it have to do with the Spell he used back then against Jabberwocky?” Grayfia asked Kuroka, “Spell?” Once again everyone’s attention drew towards Grayfia, “He used a forbidden spell which only Samsara should be able to cast, it brings death for the enemies and life for the allies. It may look like a simple spell but it drains an unimaginable amount of energy from the caster”

“It is his luck for having Samsara and Ophis at his sides right now” Kuroka smiled wryly, “They are helping him recover, it should be done in a few more hours” Kuroka concluded before she silently drank her tea Ichika gave her, it did not take long for Sona to arrive with her peerage, seeing Masaru was sleeping in the embrace of two lolis she was not sure how to take it.

After hearing their explanation Sona understood why Masaru was resting now, she witnessed how miraculous that Rain was, she saw injuries of people that would have taken a long time to recover had recovered incredibly fast. Sona sat next to Akeno as they all began to chat while waiting for the moment Masaru is about to wake up, seeing that everything was in order Grayfia turned and left the room silently.

Sirzech was rubbing his forehead, “You say that Ophis AND Samsara took an interest in him?” Sirzech could not understand just what kind of report Grayfia just brought him, it was completely mindblowing and the number of complaints that will come it will not be few. “I will take responsibility as I am the one who arranged for the meeting between him and Ophis, although even I am surprised just as well about Samsara… Does the Chinese Faction know of this?”

“I don’t know but I do know they will probably happily send Samsara off, but they will support Masaru including the Yokai Faction and me” Ajuka just entered the offices after having a meeting with Yasaka, although the time they spent was slow it was more than enough for them to form a bond. Kunou enjoys the games Ajuka would send to her occasionally making the bond between them grow.

Sirzech glances at Ajuka who just entered the room as he sighed, “Also the Grigori and Norse Mythology will support him as well” Azazel added with a wry smile, Sirzech could only laugh “Then the Devils will support him as well, having Ophis in our hands will pull away the strong front of Khaos Brigade” Sirzech chuckled as the three of them continued to discuss how they will be handling the incoming complaints, but never they would expect that not a single complaint came for the fact Masaru had helped them all one way or another in a big way.

“Urg” Masaru ġrȯȧnėd, his eyes twitched before it slowly began to open. All the girls called out to him as they surrounded his bed with red eyes filled with tears, “Oi oi! Who bullied my girls? I will beat him up!” Hearing Masaru’s teasing the girls all began to giggle before they all began to chat about what happened while he was unconscious, apparently, Issei managed to survive the poison of Samael which Shalba shot into his body with an arrow coated with the said poison.

“We managed to beat down the Hero faction and the last remaining for Shalba’s Old Satan Faction, although it sucks to say Cao Cao and his team managed to escape” Sona explained to Masaru, “I see, I will get my compensation from their patron. Ophis can I ask you to help me with it?” Ophis looks at Masaru then nods, Masaru gently ċȧrėsses both her and Samsara’s head. He was quite surprised that Samsara chose to come out at this time, “Will everything is fine?”

“It will be fine, I have already notified them and the fools sent me off with a smile” Samsara referred the gods and goddesses although they were all her friends, Masaru nodded before he looks at the familiar Valkyrie “Thank you Hilde” Brynhildr blushed before nodding then she looks at him with a serious expression, “About your offer, I would like to stick around before I give you my answer?” Masaru nodded “Of course”

“Offer?” Akeno had a teasingly smile as she looks at Brynhildr who blushed beet red, seeing this even Stephani felt it was familiar this shyness. “Yep, I made an offer for her to become my knight” Masaru explained to the girls while he slowly stood up, Akeno giggled as she glances at Brynhildr “Take good care of us, future sister” All the girls of Masaru nodded causing Brynhildr to blush.

Samsara rubbed her eyes as she gently pulled Masaru’s shirt “Masaru, I will have to return” Samsara lightly kisses Masaru’s cheek before she re-entered his body as she expended her energy to aid his recovery, she was not infinite like Ophis. Ophis herself was looking at the girls in the room as if to study them, ever since she decided to stay close to Masaru she had been observing the girls around Masaru, she felt quite curious about each of the girls who had their souls linked with Masaru including Samsara.

Masaru spent some time chatting with the girls before he went to the private bathroom to get washed and dressed, “I will have to leave you girls for a while” Masaru slowly got off the bed as he looks at the girls around him, “I will be meeting the man behind the Hero Faction, so wait for me to come home” Before Masaru could get ready to leave Ingvild to remember something, “Sairaorg and his peerage is already on his way here, Including Issei along with the Gremory Peerage”

“I will be back in a few hours, I have to catch the Patron God before he will use the excuse we took too long to come to him as a way to dodge our confrontation” Masaru smiled wryly feeling apologetic to the girls who worked so hard for him, He gave each of the girls a firm hug and kiss before leaving the guest room towards Sirzech’s office where he sensed Azazel was at.

>/<

“So you finally arrived” Sirzech smiled when Masaru’s crest appeared on the floor before he appeared, “Sorry about that, had to recharge my batteries” Masaru joked as he pulled a chair for him to sit, Ajuka nods silently towards Masaru who returned the nod. “We can safely conclude that the Hero Faction and the Old Satan Faction groups of Khaos Brigade are officially over, however…” Masaru glances at Sirzech who nodded reluctantly.

“How did it go with Hades?” Masaru was quite more concerned about this, “Well he is house arrest and not allowed to leave his domain, and the rights of controlling Cocytus has been handed over to Samsara, or her will since I just heard she is living with you” Sirzech rubbed his forehead feeling headaches arriving as he could not understand just what reasons the two strongest Goddess chose to be with Masaru.

“Hehehe I can only apologize on her behalf for creating more work, But is Hades really going to get off with only that much?” Sirzech shook his head, “We don’t have a proper replacement for him yet, the moment we do. We will strip his divinity off from his body, Zeus had agreed with it” Masaru felt surprised as he expected that Zeus would stand up for his brother, “Zeus had no choice but to compromise, he wanted his brother to live but the alliance can’t have a risk factor remain a God with a seat”

Masaru felt relieved that the work he did was not in vain, to say the least, “Right now our only concern is the Magician Group and Qlippoth, although I am more inclined to believe that the latter is more dangerous compared to the former” Sirzech look towards Masaru curiously, “Why would you have such a firm belief?” Masaru leaned forward “Because I found some solid information that the leader of the Magician Group is a servant of the leader of Qlippoth” Masaru answered, hearing this Sirzech had a stern face, Azazel glances at Masaru with suspicions but Ajuka remained silent.

“But first things first, I and Azazel will be heading to meet with Indra to get some answers in regards to the Hero Faction and I will get some compensation from that God’s whimsical actions,” Masaru said while glancing at Azazel who nodded, Sirzech smiled wryly “Thanks for your hard work” Masaru nodded at Sirzech’s words before he and Azazel left the office so Azazel could teleport the two of them to Indra, “What do you think he will do?” Sirzech glances at Ajuka who smiled, “He will do what his family does to people who cause trouble to family and can’t be destroyed…”

The location where Azazel took Masaru was somewhere in Japan, on top of a business building roof where Indra buzz-cut hairstyle with greenish-brown hair colour and lavender eyes, wearing his Aloha shirt, short pants and sandals, around his neck was a bead necklace. “So the two of you arrived huh? So what does the Governor and the Wonder Child would want with me?” Indra turns around smiling as he looks at Azazel and Masaru with disdain.

“We have come for answers Indra, your lackeys have caused quite a commotion, especially in regards to Samael which is quite a serious crime” Azazel spoke patiently while Indra smirked, “They threatened our Gods and Mythology with that spear along with other things, what else could I do?” Masaru began to laugh, “So the Heavenly God Indra is a weak dog huh?” Hearing Masaru’s direct insult Indra glared at him, “What did you say?” Masaru stepped forward “I said you are weak, if that boy can threaten you then you are seriously weak. And you want to challenge Shiva with that weak strength of yours, how pathetic”

Indra shivered as his divinity burst out, Masaru snapped his fingers before a barrier surrounded the three of them to prevent Indra from causing a disaster in the human world. “You… dare to slander me” Masaru step right in front of him, “But you said it yourself, you and your mythology who follows you are pathetically weak to be toyed by humans… And you call yourselves Heavenly God? More like Heavenly ŀȧpdogs for Cao Cao”

Before Indra could attack Masaru, Ophis appeared in front of him a single glance from her eyes was enough to freeze Indra in fear. “You—- The two of you…” He looks at Masaru and Azazel with rage, “You dare work with the leader of Khaos Brigade?” Masaru chuckled “But you have supported the Hero Faction of Khaos Brigade, what do you think will happen if the people who hate you have a legitimate reason to rip you off your throne leaving you with nothing? You have a lot of enemies Indra, are you certain you want to give it a shot?”

“Or how would the alliance and your allies act when they know you made Hades release Samael which is quite a serious threat to the world” Indra could not say a thing nor could he move, all he wanted was to have a war with Shiva and he could not die until he at least achieved this much. “What do the two of you want with me?” Masaru smiled “I heard you banished your lackeys to the underworld and took their Longinus. So hand over Dimension Lost and Annihilation Maker you have taken from the Hero Faction, that will be compensation for daring to bring harm to my family” Indra snorted “Do you—” Masaru smirked, “Or I will kill your son while masquerading as the Asura’s?”

“You dare threaten to kill my son?” Indra looks towards Masaru who was expressionless, “Your lackeys almost harmed my family for your dreams, so don’t make me put my words to action Indra. You poked a hole where you should have not and now you are paying for it or your legacy will”

Indra gnashed his teeth glaring hatefully at Masaru before he reluctantly handed over two black spheres which contained the Annihilation Maker and Dimension Lost, “You have only yourself to blame for this Indra, if only you prevented them from attacking my family and I would not have made the move I made today. So you best start behaving from now on okay?” Masaru took the two spheres while holding Ophis’s hand.

“I will get you back for this someday” Indra spoke with a furious tone, Masaru shook his head “You won’t, if you value the life of your son. Because his life is linked with my girls, so if any of my girls dies he will too. And that will end your legacy, your descendants and everything you worked hard for. Because by then I will be coming for you myself” Indra stood still looking at Masaru who turned around leaving with Ophis and Azazel, he might be arrogant but he cared about his people and his son, his legacy.

“You really are something, extorting two Longinus out of Indra while threatening the life of his son” Azazel was amazed as he never expected Masaru to become this ruthless, “Well, even if he did not explicitly ordered it. Cao Cao and his little band of thugs threatened the lives of my family, so I will naturally return the favour but at the right person. Cao Cao has little regard to anyone but himself, which is why I chose to make use of Indra to control his people more efficiently”

“Hahahaha, well it was satisfying. Seeing that bastard choke in his own words” Azazel laughed since today was a good day, not only Hades was on the last rope and now Indra got extorted. Life was really full of mysteries and surprises.
