Preparation

~18 June 2008~

Kojiro suddenly awakened from his sleep and saw the clock that showed it was still 2 AM in the morning. The reason he awakens is that he feels Nurarihyon appear in front of his home and 'knocking' his bounded field. He slowly gets up from his bed and then walks toward the front door and opens it. As he opens the door, he sees Nurarihyon standing in front of his store, and coming with him is some people Kojiro knows. Still, there are also people Kojiro never meets escorting Nurarihyon.

"Sorry to disturb your sleep, Kojiro-dono, but there is an emergency meeting taking place in the palace, and Yasaka-sama wishes you to attend the meeting."

"Then lead the way."

Nurarihyon then takes him to the Palace, and when he arrives in front of the palace, Kojiro can feel many strong individuals inside the castle via his magic sense. The castle is also guarded by many people, including some devils who make him even more confused. The more he walks inside the castle, the more he can 'taste' divine energy oozing out to the air.

After walking for a few seconds, they arrive in front of a giant door where Nurarihyon pulls the door and reveals many people are already sitting down on the chair with a serious expression. Kojiro can also see two of four great maou standing up at the end of the table. When he arrives, Yasaka walks toward him and says.

"Welcome, Kojiro-kun. Please follow me to your seat."

Yasaka then led him toward his seat before also sitting down on the chair next to him. After he sits down, Serafall walks forward and says.

"Are we all here? Good, Now I can begin to explain about this meeting."

Suddenly the room became dark, and the big screen in front of them showed a somewhat familiar picture of an abomination. In front of him is one of the third Endbringer from the WORM verse. He is also known as Jörmungandr, The Second, and City Killer. Leviathan is known for his fast speed that can reach at least ten mach. He also has the power of MacroHydrokinesis.

"The reason why Falbium and I ask for this meeting is that Taniwha will come and attack Japan or, more specifically, Kyushu."

After Serafall says that, Kojiro's face becomes pale a little as he is afraid something will happen to Sakura and Kunou if Leviathan appears on the Japanese shore. Leviathan is known for his wide-scale tsunami attack that can sink Newfoundland in the WORM canon, and Japan is smaller than Newfoundland.

He also can hear the murmur of people inside the room talking about 'Taniwha.' He looks to his side and sees Susanoo having a sour face while Amaterasu is patting him in the back.

"Taniwha has the power to control any water around him to the point that he can overpower gods in their domain. However, it can be stopped if any Sea, Water, or Storm Gods and Goddess want to use their true form to fight against Taniwha."

After Serafall says that, he can see Susanoo's face become sourer, and this time, he can see Susanoo gritted his teeth.

"I'm sorry if my words offend you, but it was the only thing that can overpower Taniwha control over the water around him. I know that if you step into your true form, you will become weaker to the point of being a human, but I only say our option to overpower Taniwha control. I still remember Poseidon in his rage state because Taniwha 'stealing' his domain over the sea. Still, sadly for him, Taniwha is rather cunning on his own and immediately retreats after seeing Poseidon use his true form making Poseidon angrier than before. Right now, Poseidon still tries to recover from his usage of his true form, even though it was almost a year of recovery. The reason why I tell you this is because we will try and hold Leviathan down when you are in your true form. Once again, I apologize for the way I say this, but I rather say this now than after Taniwha already retreated."

Susanoo begins to calm down after Serafall says that and begins to hold down the divine energy that begins to ooze out from him in massive quantities.

"My friend and fellow Maou, Ajuka Beelzebub says that Taniwha will arrive in Kyushu in two days from now on. He will appear on 20 of June 2008. We can't predict the exact time he will appear. That is why we inform the Shinto faction about the arrival of Taniwha so we can greet him properly."

The screen is then showing a different picture. This time it was showing data of people or something like that.

"This is the data of people that will come to Japan if Yasaka-dono and Amaterasu-dono agree with this. The troops total is around a thousand, with their specialty in water magic. We also sent some people from my former clan Sitri to help in this fight. The reason why we need many people in Water Magic is that Taniwha is known for his Tidal Wave. He can create a Tidal Wave that becomes stronger every time he summons it. He also can summon a Tidal Wave to the other part from his target. This is also the reason why Taniwha almost sunk New Zealand and Newfoundland. He sent a massive Tidal Wave to the battlefield but also sent another Tidal Wave to the other location of the Island. We also cannot use a long fight tactic as his Tidal Wave becomes stronger and stronger every time he summons a Tidal Wave. So, Yasaka-dono and Amaterasu-dono, Will you let my people come into your land?"

After discussing the Serafall offer with each other, Yasaka and Amaterasu nod and then say.

"Very well, we agree to this offer."

"Thank you…"

"BUT, They need to be checked first and will be supervised by my people."

"I see, We agree on that con-..."

"AND, they will NOT bring their devil piece with them. IF I see them bring their devil piece with them, then I will banish them from my land without hesitation."

"... Fair Enough, Then I agree to that condition, Amaterasu-dono."

"Good, then I will let them walk 'freely' in Kyoto before the fight begins. However, beware that there is a member of the church inside our land. We don't want them to fight with the members of the church."

".... Very well I will inform them about this information."

Kojiro has a feeling that Serafall has a wrong impression about Amaterasu saying there is a member of the church inside Kyoto. He has a feeling that she thinks that Shinto and Youkai allied with the Heaven and Church faction to counter the Devil if they decide to break the pact.

They then begin to discuss some minor things for another hour before Serafall and Falbium walk away from the meeting room. After Serafall leaves, the gods and goddesses also start to go and prepare for the fight, and the only people inside the room are Susanoo, Amaterasu, Yasaka, and Kojiro.

"You must be Kojiro-kun right?"

Kojiro looks at Amaterasu, who smiles brightly at him. Amaterasu is a beautiful woman who oozes a motherly aura around her. She has silver-blonde hair that flows beautifully up to her waist. She wears a light yellow Kimono, Golden Obi, and she wears a red pelt with a beautiful pattern on the surface. The kimono features a white interior, and it is open at her shoulders, giving view to her enormously large breasts.

"Nice to meet you, Amaterasu-sama."

"Ma~ Please call me Amaterasu. You are Yasaka chosen Mate, right? Fufufufu~"

"Amaterasu-sama!"

"Ara, little Yasaka-chan is blushing, fufufufu~."

Seeing Amaterasu teasing Yasaka, Kojiro can't help but smile at their behavior.
