Isekai Restuarant (Rewrite)

- Sirzechs -

"Thank you for your help, Azazel." He thanked the man who was leering at the girls in the hotel's reception.

"Oh, never mind that. I got something out of it too." Azazel smiled back.

Yes. they had paid a dozen Phenex Tears for him to use his contracts among the youkai to call for this meeting.

It was a high price but the situation was just that serious… and Azazel of all people knew it too.

"Still it went better than expected. I thought they would still be on edge after… that incident." Azazel said, hesitating slightly at the mention of the incident.

"Yes. That incident… did cause too much stir."

"Hmm, I have heard that your old rivals are shaking again. So sources say that they were seen in Japan too." Azazel asked, his voice taking a serious tone.

Sirzechs frowned and nodded.

"They should be searching for the Mysterious Lucifer too. After all… someone like that could totally change the playing field. That kind of power is just…"

Yes… that power.

They didn't even know what that power was or how that worked.

Ajuka has been cooped up in his lab for the last few months to figure out any kind of clue about the said power to prepare any countermeasure against it but hasn't gotten anywhere yet.

They had tried to keep the lid on the incident as much as they could but there was only so much they could do when all the Supernaturals of the country had seen that power. The reveal of the effect of the attack had only served to increase everyone's fear.

Everyone was curious but didn't dare poke too much fearing retaliation.

But it still didn't stop some people from seeking him.

Especially among the Devils. Devils were attracted by power and such power… it was like a magnet to everyone. Add to that the Lucifer name and things just got worse.

Even some of the Pillar houses had secretly sent some people to Japan to search for any clues of the Mysterious Lucifer. The Old Satan faction… well, they were just more open about it.

Unfortunately, they weren't criminals for the Devil race and neither were they doing something illegal here so there was only so much he could do to prevent them from taking any actions.

"Can't you give us any more information about that person, Azazel? This matter is just too serious." He asked, earning a shake of head from the man.

"No. I have already given you all I can. I cannot involve myself any more than this. Trust me Sirzechs, none of us want the Old Satan faction to return any more than you do but I am still the Governor General of Grigori. I have to think of the Fallen Angels just as you think of Devils and… Grigori cannot afford to make an enemy of this Mysterious Lucifer."

Sirzechs let out a sigh.

"Well, no need to get all depressed. Look at the bright side of things. From what we have seen so far, this guy doesn't want to get involved in anything. All his actions so far have pointed to that. Now if our poking around changes that… then who will be at fault?" He asked.

"Hah… yes. You are right. I am just worried because my sister and Serafall's sister will be starting school here in a couple of months. We don't want there to be any problems."

"Oh. Well, that shouldn't be a problem. In fact, we don't even know if that guy even lives in Japan or if he was just here by any chance. He could technically be anywhere in the world. That doesn't mean we can be living in fear all our lives. So just calm down."

"Hmm." Sirzechs nodded.

"Oh, by the way, where is Serafall?" He asked.

"Ah, she went to the Comiket. Our sisters were not in the hotel so she must have gone there. Also, I heard there was a cosplay competition. Knowing her she might have joined in."

"Hahahaha she is having fun at least." Azazel laughed.

As they were talking, the door to the room was opened and in came Serafall.

"You are quite early. Where are Rias and Sona?" He asked.

"I didn't find them there. They might have gone somewhere. Don't worry."

"So, how was your cosplay competition?" Azazel asked with a laugh.

"Hah! We took too long in the meeting and I missed the competition."

"And what about that other thing?" He asked.

She however shook her head. "Nothing. She left directly after the concert yesterday. None of the organisers knew where she had come from. Apparently their original singer had encountered an accident and she filled in at the last moment. I even checked them with a little bit of hypnosis but no results. I checked, they apparently had another temporary singer for today's. She is really gone."

"Did they just hire someone without any identification?" Sirzechs asked.

"Hmm, maybe she used some magic. Who knows? Those two organisers seemed quite easily caught in hypnosis. They didn't seem like supernaturals. I just brought the copies of the recordings for the show. I sent it all to Ajuka and see what he can find about them. " She shrugged.

"Well, she hasn't really done anything crazy so maybe it was just a fan or something." Sirzechs smiled.

Serafall was the most famous of the four current Satans among the masses due to her Magical Girl shows. Some of her fans were crazy. So as odd as it was, it's still within the range of expectations.

The main reason he was thinking of this was because whoever this Sara was, she didn't claim to be Serafall herself or do anything in her name so giving her the benefit of doubt wasn't that out of order.

As they were talking, he suddenly got a call from Rias.

"This… is her?"

"Katerea Leviathan. What was she doing here? How did this happen?" He asked seriously. They were just talking about the Old Satan faction moving and to think they would encounter them in such a way.

"She trapped us in a barrier and was going to attack us when… when he came and tried to stop her but… but she didn't listen to him. He kept defending but then she attacked again, trying to kill us all… when everything froze. Eve-… everything froze in an instant." Sona spoke in a daze.

"Who? Who was here?" Sirzechs asked.

"I… we don't know." Sona shook her head.

"What?" He asked, confused by her words.

All the girls looked shocked by whatever happened here so he allowed them to calm down a bit before talking.

Serafall was taking care of the whole place to remove the traces of the fight so that the barrier could be dispelled. Azazel lent a hand too.

He decided to take the girls back to the hotel while Serafall takes care of everything.

"I am sorry, Azazel. It looks like we have to cut this short. As you see… we have got quite some trouble in our hands."

"No worries. I understand." Azazel nodded understandingly. "Moreover it looks like you all have more trouble coming your way." He said pointing towards the youkai who had arrived around the area.

Tokyo was the territory of the Nura Clan, one of the leaders of the youkai in Japan.

Have they discovered this too?.

Then again, this barrier was in a relatively busy area of the town for a while now. It would be weird if they didn't notice anything.

"Sirzechs… take Sona and the others directly to the Underworld. I will talk to them."

"Will you need any help?" He asked.

"No. I will handle this."

"Okay."
