Chapter 875 Elf from a Fantasy World
Kisuke's interest was piqued and he actually stopped teasing Riveria. Even though only temporarily, he was still the heir to the Belial House, and as a part of it, he still had to establish his own peerage, even if it was a huge hassle. Of course, even though he could, trustworthy members were hard to find because none of his girls could actually become a member because of how the Evil Pieces worked by reincarnating someone into a Devil.
"That sounds interesting, but without modifying the Evil Pieces and Riveria-san's consent, it'll be impossible."
"Regarding that, I already asked Ajuka-sama about this and he sent a blank set of Evil Pieces for you to modify and use. It's currently in big sis' care."
Kisuke then looked towards the quiet Riveria and said, "Then the second condition can wait. Riveria-san, I know you have a lot of questions, but let's not talk here. I'll also introduce you to some people."

"Yo~ How are y'all doing?" Kisuke came into the private lounge with a loud greeting.
After hearing that Kisuke had returned, his teammates also came back since they couldn't really postpone their participation in the Azazel Cup anymore, "I already accepted the next match. If not we could be disqualified, so I hope you won't go anywhere else for the time being. Oya? An Elf? How rare. To think I'd see one outside of Takamagahara." Tiamat met Kisuke face to face and looked behind him in curiosity.
The other members had also noticed Riveria, but only Athena and Genshirou still had the energy to stand up and approach, because the other two would rather act dead for the time being after returning from their training.
"This is also the first time I've seen one in a long while. Those Japanese Deities are especially protective of them for some reason.", commented Athena.
"This is my first time one outside of those fantasy-themed video games. Nice to meet you. I'm Saji Genshirou." Genshirou also stared at Riveria but realized that he was doing something incredibly rude and introduced himself with a big smile.
Riveria, instead of returning his introduction, grabbed Kisuke's sleeve and hid behind him, not because she had become timid, but because of the auras they were all naturally emitting, 'T-those two... Deities? But why are their Divine Powers so solid and pronounced? And the blue-haired lady, I'm feeling oppressed... Just what is she?'
Tiamat saw this and smiled mischievously, "Did you kidnap her? You finally resorted to crime to increase your harem."
Riveria immediately let go of Kisuke's sleeve and feigned a cough, "Excuse me. It's nice to meet everyone. I'm Riveria Ljos Alf of the Alf Royal Forest, also the Vice-Captain of the Loki Familia."
Riveria waited for their reply but she found them only staring at him strangely, "Alf Royal Forest? I've been studying a lot of things, but this is the first time I've heard of that place. Is it inside of Takamagahara?" asked Genshirou.
"And the Loki Familia, you say? What a concerning name. Do you worship him? If you do, then you're going to have a hard time after the stunt he did. Or do you hope to unseal him? If then, I'll be one of the first individuals who'll stop you, even if you're Kisuke's lover." Tiamat added.
"Eh...? Huh...?" Their reaction was so strange that she had no time to refute or even think about the last of Tiamat's words.
Athena, meanwhile, looked towards Kisuke, who was grinning widely, "Seriously. Stop playing with people or you'll be stabbed in the back one of these days." She'd immediately noticed the strange reactions of both sides and confronted Kisuke who had been simply enjoying the situation.
"My bad~ I was just wondering how this would resolve itself."
Tiamat crossed her arms and sighed, "And? What's her special situation?"
"Ehem... Let me introduce to you, Riveria Ljos Alf, of the other world."
Not just Tiamat, Athena, and Genshirou, but also Nyx and Seekvaira stood up and became interested. In contrast, Riveria's mind went blank, "...Eh...? Kisuke... Can you repeat what you just said? I might have heard it wrongly."
But instead of repeating it, Kisuke turned towards her and said, "Riveria-san, welcome to the supernatural side of Earth, a world entirely separated from where you've come from."
"...Can I sit down for a moment?" Riveria didn't actually wait for anyone's permission and went to use the nearest sofa before closing her eyes and rubbing her forehead.
"You didn't tell her?" Genshirou asked Kisuke while feeling bad for this 'lost' Elf.
"Even if I did, she might not have believed it. Even on this side, the existence of another world is pretty unbelievable, isn't it? Their civilization is way behind ours, so it's even more unbelievable to them."
"So she's a genuine Elf from a fantasy world..."
"What are you talking about? We're already living in a fantasy world."
"With the convenience of science and technology, it doesn't really count in my books... Hey... I want to go there too to look around. Can you bring me along the next time you go?"
"Are you hoping for those light novel situations?"
Kisuke's question struck Genshirou where it hurts and immediately denied it, "O-Of course not! I'll bring Momo and Ruruko if possible."
"Well, if you want to risk yourself being vaporized while traveling, I'll think about it."
In an instant, Genshirou answered, "Forget it then."
It looked like it'd take some time for Riveria to sort her thoughts out, so Sakura left the room to prepare some calming tea while Kisuke convened with everyone to talk about their next match, "So who are the lucky ones?"
"Team Rias Gremory.", answered Athena.
"Hoho... Looks like we got a pretty tough one.", muttered Kisuke. Of course, he's not referring to Rias herself, but to the few people she managed to recruit. Although Rias herself cannot be underestimated, the most concerning people were Vasco Strada, the man who is said to have reached the limits of Humanity, and Crom Cruach, the strongest Evil Dragon.
As the person who chose their opponent, Tiamat explained, "With our current points, their team will give us a substantial amount of points, and those should be enough for us to enter the top 16. As for the other side, they already have the points for the main stage so they accepted our match for the challenge."
"Though it looks like I won't be able to play around as much as before."
Nyx made a fed-up face and said, "You still want to play around? The others are actually trying their best, you know?"
"Well, the wish that I want can already be fulfilled through other means. So whether we win or lose, I really don't care."
"Aside from you, all of us are only after some gains so now that this isn't as important for you, I guess we could wait until we're matched against a team full of Gods like Team Vajra before retiring from the tournament.", Tiamat connected while thinking of all the monetary income she had made.
Tiamat looked around and no one seemed to be bothered about losing early so she continued, "For this match, Crom will probably come after Kisuke and he alone would be enough to keep you preoccupied. So while I deal with Vasco Strada, Nyx, Genshirou, and Seekvaira will deal with the rest of them with Athena supporting everyone from behind. Go check on the fruits of your training."
"But are we allowed to use our powers?" asked Nyx.
Kisuke thought about it for a moment and said, "You may. Now that the Alliance of Hell has declared war on everyone, you don't really have to hide anymore since there's almost nothing they could change in their plans anymore."
