~20 June 2008~
"So, what can I do for you on this lovely day?"
In front of me are the four Satan and Grayfia Lucifuge sitting on the couch.
It has been two years since I arrived in this world and there is so much change happening. Wendy has been reunited with her mother. Grandeeney is resurrected with the help of the Dragons, Medea, Kushina, Amelia, Valerie, and Me.
The Dragon helps with their knowledge and unique magic to tie Grandeeney's soul into the living world. Amelia creates Grandeeney's body from Wendy's memory. Medea and Kushina make a rune and seal. Valerie helped make Grandeeney's soul not get rejected by the living world. Lastly, I harmonize all of it together with my Sky flame.
Now we have another Dragon in our territory.
Kurama also gets himself a new body. Now he can walk around Faysummit without breaking out the seal on Kushina's body, and the first thing he does after getting out of the seal is to sleep, what a lazy fox. Kurama also became a mascot of Paw Spring for some reason, as his small body (He can change it to his original size) getting so much attention from the woman in the paw spring, be it a customer or the worker.
The Vongola family also has a steady income, be it from the mundane world or the magical world. The trade between the Vongola family and the other faction and country is doing fine. I also have a business in the human world; Vongola is known for being an exporter of many kinds of fruit and vegetables. We are also known as the cheapest company that sells its products to the world.
However, a good thing will attract a bad thing. For example, there are many attempts to breach the barrier around Romania. We have many lists of mercenary and assassin groups that try to breach our barrier. With that list in hand, I ordered Kushina and her people to do a chase. While I don't like killing people, I will kill the people who attack us to their roots. So with the help of Kushina and her shinobi squad, the mercenary that tried to breach our barrier is gone from the living world. Some people try to go to Constanta to create a hole from the inside, but because of the Bounded field informing Constanta's guard, the culprit easily gets arrested and now in prison.
With the disappearance of many mercenary and assassin groups, there is a rumor in the criminal underworld that Romania is the honey trap for all mercenaries and assassins.
"We come here today with an intention to rent your place as it is natural for a peace treaty between the three factions."
I snap from my thoughts when Sirzechs say something.
"I see. How long do you need our service?"
"Three days or maybe five days."
"... Just how long is this meeting?"
"Well… The meeting should need a day to finish, but I need vacation time, you know?"
I couldn't help but snort a little at Sirzechs behavior while his friend did a facepalm, including his wife.
"What? You try to do the paperwork I have in my office. I dare you. I need a vacation."
"Hehehe. You know what? I agree. You can use this place as your Meeting place. However, we still need to check your troops before coming here, is there any problem with that?"
"Not at all. I will tell the other about your rule."
"Good. Now, please enjoy your time here."
The maid then begins to bring in the food we already prepare beforehand and places it down on the table. They also brought the finest wine we had.
While I don't usually do this kind of feast, I want to show them that we are not a faction that is weak in finance, not only that this will show them that we are the people that are not easy to buy with wealth.
I do this because many noblemen from the Devil race try to bribe the merchant we sent to the underworld, and some of them even come from their former clan, which is Sitri, Gremory, Astaroth, and Glasya-Labolas clan. Since they can't do their usual violence and kidnapping tactic because of how every merchant we sent is guarded by either the Shinobi squad or Varia assassination squad, they decide to use money as their weapon to lure our people into becoming their slave.
While this move cannot be seen by the people that try to bribe us, there will be a rumor running around that says we are rich and did not take any money from others.
There are many kinds of fights—physical fight, Physiological fight, and an Information fight. Right now, we use this feast as a weapon to destroy all the self-esteem the noble devil race has and stop them from trying to bribe our merchant. Not only that, but we also boost the morale of our merchant.
And it was not wrong to do some flexing from now and then.
~Later that night~
"Master, what should we do now?"
"We prepare, of course. I have a bad feeling about this meeting."
The reason why I said that is that I received another mission from ROB. The previous mission about making a name for myself has been completed. Now the new mission is this.
~Quest #2~
Survive the Three-Faction meeting incident
~Good luck~
That's it. No explanation nor a deadline. Only saying that I need to survive the Three-Faction meeting incident. By looking at this quest, I guess that the Khaos Brigade will try and attack Faysummit one more time, but this time, they will use a bigger force than just sending a hero faction.
"What should we do, my Lord?"
I snap from my thoughts when Carol asks me a question.
"Kushina, I need the rest of the Shinobi squad to get back from their mission. I fear we need them all in this meeting. Carol, I need CEDEF to collect information for me. I want them to if there is a suspicious movement around Romania, the CEDEF also can bring shinobi with them. Medea, I want you to prepare the magician squad, and Mordred, I also want you to prepare our men in the barrack. Taylor, I also need your bugs to fly around the area for me and see if there is some suspicious movement. I need your bugs to scout the city while CEDEF and the shinobi scout the larger area. Amelia, I need you to upgrade Taylor's minion and increase her fighting power even more."
When I see them nod at me, I look at Valerie, Wendy, and Cris before saying.
"Valerie, I want you and your guardian to lead the healing corps for me. Can you do that for me?"
"Of course, Brother!"
"Good."
The meeting will happen on the 25th of June 2008. So we have five days to prepare. It was enough time to prepare our force and welcome the incoming force that tried to attack the Vongola Family. We also cannot take all of our soldiers from the other city if the Khaos Brigade attacks the other city.
"If there is nothing else, you can be dismissed. Look at the time. We need to wake up early this morning."
With that being said, I stand up and begin to walk to my bedroom and ready to take sleep because tomorrow will be a long day.
