"...Rias... C'mon..."

"Hmph!"

Haa... She won't stop moping. Rossweisse in the end, took my offer. So, she didn't become Rias's [Rook]. She's still quite upset about it. So, Rossweisse is still a Valkyrie and not a Devil, and Rias is currently missing a [Rook] and eight [Pawns].

It's been a few days since and... Well... Yeah, she's a bit huffy about it all. Every time I get close to her, she just turns away or moves. Haaa... Geez, Rias.

"Rias. I'll try to help you find new pieces, how about that? I am heading back to Asgard in a few days. I'm also planning to meet the Shinto Gods and I'll try to get in contact with the Egyptian Gods.... C'mon..."

She freezes and looks back at me with a little pout... Adorable but please, geez.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Fine..."

She walks back over to me, wraps her arms around my neck, and kisses me. She then starts to shower me with kisses...

"Talk about a complete change... Sheesh..."

"I'm still young!"

Asgard

Brynhildr

It's been a few days since Odin-sama came back from his... 'Vacation' from Japan, he has told us that the meeting was canceled since they are leaving the alliance to Jin Skyward, the Middleman. However, he will visit our realm again in a few days with the intention of signing an alliance.

With that in mind, we are currently preparing for his arrival. When he first came here it was just to formally meet him, since then... His deeds and name have spread across the supernatural world. At first glance, they seem... Admirable, almost noble.

To unite us all... However, it came out that he just did it to gain a harem. Many laughed at it but still found it admirable. I am unsure whether to call him stupid or honest. But he is still making progress with one of his recent alliances with the Greek Gods.

What draws people to him? Right now... It is obvious, but what about then? When he first started...? He is a kind and considerate person but that usually isn't enough. He isn't too charming, and his looks are above average, so what draws people to him?

Right now, as I said. His name, deeds, and achievements have spread. So, when you meet him... You have a sense— An idea of what to expect out of him I do not understand... He was too casual towards Odin-sama and his sons.

He was lazy and didn't train... No, that's my own assumption, perhaps he does train... Whatever the case, our realm is formally preparing for his arrival. He is already well-liked here by many. I can assume it will only strengthen over time.

"Brynhildr."

I turn to see.... Vidar-sama! I stop and speak with him.

"Vidar-sama, how can I help you?"

"Jin will be coming here in a few days. Father asked if you and Rossweisse could be his guides... He apparently heard he will be touring our realm more than his first few visits."

...Guide him? As in tour guides...? Will I be able to last...? I haven't met him since his first visit here, although I briefly saw him when, tch. Those two went on a date...
