Chapter 10: Some Much Needed Rest

Azazel was chilling in his room, drinking liqueur from his whiskey decanter as he stared at the ceiling. After being informed about it by his students, he just finished researching the turmoils regarding the Yokai faction. It wasn't an easy task because the locals were not keen on seeing strangers. From what he gathered, it seems that Yasaka-hime, leader of the Yokais in Kyoto, was kidnapped by a group of strong humans that left no signs of any evidence at the crime scene. It also frustrated him because his student was attacked because of the Kitsune clan's suspicion of him for colliding with a strange human.

"...Dammit. I came here to get some rest, not to enter some political nonsense again," The Fallen Angel Governor complained before chugging down more on his drink to relieve his stress. However, it seemed futile as the alcohol did nothing to ease him. He then grabbed his phone and decided to do something else to pass the time.

"Fuck it, let's check out that toxic hazard Twitter and see what's new,"

However, what he'll see in the trending section would turn out to be the last thing he could imagine in his wildest dreams.

"What the fuck?!"

There was a "#WeirdCosplayers" in the trending section, and when he opened it to see the tweets, he saw something that made him nearly lose his mind and spill his drink.

In one tweet, he saw a picture of Issei in his Balance Breaker, being carried by a half-naked, short, and muscular kid while three other kids in similar weird 'cosplay' outfits surrounded them. The caption read: "Yo! Genuinely love the accuracy of these outfits, but why are they carrying the guy in the red armor? P.S: Also, who is he cosplaying as?"

"...I don't know if Issei is truly the worst idiot to get knocked out by those idiots or the Hero faction is just that sloppy; then how did they manage to leave the kidnapping sight without leaving any evidence?" The Fallen Anger pondered as he began scrolling through the comments.

[JapaneseSigmaChad69: Wow.]

[FakingGeeking420: Somehow they look like the real deal but there's no way they could be, right? Right??]

[good4daddy: omg that short stack looks delish]

He scrolled down for a few seconds until he read a comment that made him want to deck a certain redhead across the face.

[SatanRanger(Red): He's the Oppai Dragon! Hero of the Earth and a certain ladies' man ;D]

"Goddammit, Sirzechs..."

Overall, the comments seemed to talk about certain characters from multiple animes and one Western cartoon. When taking a closer look at them, the Westerner seemed to match the description his students gave him when they left Issei to that guy to bring him here. 

"So that kid is Ben Ten, huh? But there's no way he'd kidnap Issei, right?"

Azazel watched Ben Ten a few times when he was bored and wanted to watch some popular shows on TV, so he knew that Tennyson wouldn't do anything similar to this. He then muttered to himself,

"I still can't believe a cartoon character came into life... Guess there are a lot of things this old man hasn't seen yet, but I won't get any answers by dilly-dallying; time to fetch those younglings."

Before he disappeared in a bunch of raven-colored feathers.

Meanwhile with Ben and co...

The group was going from one alley to another alley to avoid suspicion, but unfortunately, they underestimated their bad luck when a random passerby caught them and began questioning them. The story Kirito gave was pretty convincing, yet ridiculous at the same time.
