The Eminence in Smartphone

III Kagenou-kun

After their conversation with Kamisama, Touya felt tired.

"Are you alright, Touya?" asked Sue.

"I'm just exhausted. I knew that seeing Kagenou again would bring me trouble." complained the Great Duke.

The girls comforted him as they could before they arrived the game room where their guests were.

The first thing that came to their attention, especially Sakura's, was that someone was playing the piano. Moonlight Sonata.

"I like that song." said Sakura softly.

"What's the piano doing there anyway?" asked Touya.

Lapis, the head maid, bowed as she apologized profusely. "My apologies Great Duke, but the guest asked to borrow the piano, but I told him that they had to wait in the game room, and one thing let to another and before I realized he brought the piano with him."

Touya rubbed his temples in frustration. At least Kagenou played the instrument well.

With a sigh, he opened the door and realized that the one playing the piano was the blue-haired elf, Epsilon. In the meantime the elf with the silver hair was deeply involved with the first tome of the Order of the Rose novel series (that made Touya shiver). The beastkin woman was smashing the whac-a-mole with a demented smirk as she violently smashed the fake moles. Seeing her enthusiasm made Touya happy that he have used his magic to make the game indestructible.

Alpha, Kagenou's second in command, was playing Solitaire with a blank expression as she watched her companions to make sure they didn't cause any problems.

As for Kagenou, he was wearing his black trench coat in the shadows, looking at his allies with a mysterious expression.

"I see that you have come to a decision, Mochizuki-kun." said Kagenou with a deep voice.

He groaned. "We are going to help you. My kingdom, Brunhild, is the leader of the world alliance. A group of countries that work hard to keep peace. We have the resources to help you uncover the Cult's hiding spots so you can hunt them down."

Touya said the last part with obvious reluctance on his voice, but Kagenou and his allies didn't seem to notice.

"Just like that? I thought we will have to convince you some way." said Kagenou.

"I spoke with... someone I trust deeply. He told me to leave the Cult to you and your group, but it was okay for me to help you expose them." explained Touya.

The woman, Alpha, bowed. "As expected to one of the former companions of Shadow-Sama. Your judgement is absolutely correct."

Touya sighed and pulled out his smartphone. "I will make some calls. We may have to wait a couple of days before all the leaders can reunite. In the meantime, you will be treated like guests in my country. Please make yourselves home, I will speak with Mika to prepare a couple of rooms for you in the Silver Moon inn."

Kagenou smiled. "Thank you, Mochizuki-kun. Don't worry, the sooner we finish with our enemies the sooner we will go back to our world as we have a lot to do."

Touya nodded tiredly and snapped his fingers. A woman dressed like a shinobi came from the roof and bowed before Touya.

"My Lord?"

"Tsubaki, guide our guests to the Silver Moon and tell Mika to send me the bill."

"As you wish my Lord. Please, follow me."

Shadow Garden and their leader started to follow Tsubaki, when Moroha stopped the group by aiming her sword to Kagenou.

The elves and the beatkin stopped and extended their hands, summoning a black substance that solidified into black swords. Moroha, however, stopped them with a king gesture.
