Chapter 209 - Loki once again

Name:Life In DXD Author:kaustubhdverma
While all three of them were walking towards the group of devils Tatsuya suppressed Ophis's aura to the point that it would only read to be that of a dragon instead of a dragon god.

Ophis who noticed the change in her looked towards Tatsuya who patted her head and said, "You know what to say when someone ask you who you are, right?"

Ophis nodded her head said, "I am Tiamat's friend and Ruyaa's cousin."

Tatsuya nodded and then continued to walk.

Once the devils notice Tatsuya coming back with Asia and Ophis they felt relieved on seeing Asia and confused on seeing Ophis, except for Koneko and a certain dragon in the Gauntlet.

Though Ddraig could not feel her infinity aura his instinct as a dragon immediately told him who the young girl was and since he had felt a similar fear before he came to know who the girl was.

Ddraig was going to ask about what was happening but Tatsuya immediately telepathically told him, "Open your mouth and the whole world will come to know about the dragon of domination wanting to 'dominate' the dragon of supremacy."

Ddraig closed his mouth and said, "I don't know what you might be talking about."

Tatsuya nodded his head and said, "Looks like you are quite understanding."

He then introduced Ophis to the others saying that she came to see Asia and check if there was some problem or not.

He then teleported back with the other two along with Isami tagging along with him as she was not in a condition to move.

Once they reached back to Kuoh Tatsuya looked at Asia and said, "Let's continue the hotel plan sometime later."

Asia who heard that pouted in dissapointment but soon calmed down and agreed to his proposal.

All four of them then entered Tatsuya's house with Isami resting over Tatsuya's back.

Once they all were inside the older residents of the Shiba house were surprised on noticing both of them. It was too early for their hotel date and too late for a non-hotel date.

All of them came out to know what was the matter and were surprised seeing Ophis and Isami along with them.

Tatsuya asked Asia to fill them in on the matter while he will go and put Isami in a bed.

Once he did so he was about to leave the room but a Gauntlet manifested in Isami's hand and Ddraig asked, "Will you explain it to us later?"

Tatsuya looked at the Gauntlet and said, "Rest for now, Isami is already tired a lot. I will fill you in on the matter in the morning." and then left the room.

Once he came down he saw the girls laughing at what Diodora did and how she 'played' with him.

Rossweisse was a bit conflicted whether to laugh or not about the matter but just let it out off her mind.

She then noticed the small girl sitting in Tatsuya's lap and eating a cake and asked, "Who is the kid?"

Tatsuya patted Ophis's head and said, "Oh, you are new here, She is Ophis, Ophis she is Rossweisse my secretary, be nice to her."

Ophis looked at the silver haired girl with her emotionless expression and said, "Don't take my sweets if you are not tired of living." and continued eating her cake.

Rossweisse who recieved a sudden threat was surprised but didn't press on the matter for long, rather she was thinking that she had heard her name before, and started thinking where she had heard it.

Soon her face paled and she pointed her shaking finger towards Ophis and asked, "B-By O-Ophis you don't mean 'that' Ophis, right?"

Tatsuya looked at her and only smiled in response making Rossweisse's whole body stiff.

Seeing her like that Ruyaa said, "What are you acting so scared for, "You spent the whole vacation with me and Tiamat. Ah, and if you cannot tell I am Great Red, nice to meet you."

And once again Rossweisse got shocked and slowly turned her head to look at the other two dragons in the room which only increased her tension.

Tatsuya looked at her and said, "Don't think too much, the only thing that you need to know is that if word of Ophis and Great Red leaves your mouth and someone other than the ones whom I have told of about them comes to know, and I find that it was you, then.... Oh Rossweisse why not have a drink." and gave her a bottle.

Rossweisse looked at her boss and said in teary voice, "HEY!!! HOW CAN YOU CHANGE THE TOPIC ALL OF A SUDDEN!!! AND WHAT WAS THAT THREAT FOR!!!! AHHH! I NEED A DRINK!!!" and took the bottle and glass from Tatsuya's hands.

Tatsuya then said, "Pour some for me as well."

"Here"

*clank*"CHEERS!!!"

--------------------

Tatsuya and Rossweisse kept on drinking for a while until suddenly Tatsuya's gaze fell on the three pups and he realised something.

"Oh! Shit I forgot about my catch."

He then took out a master ball and brought Loki out.

Loki who came out off the ball looked around his surroundings and was confused for a while but then his gaze fell on Tatsuya and immediately a frown appeared on his face.

He wanted to attack him but for someone reason he was not able to use his powers.

Tatsuya then said, "If you are done mentally cursing me then why not have a seat and let's talk about what you will do next along with a drink."

Loki was immediately going to refuse him but then the tree pups whom he immediately recognised told him that it was fine, and that Tatsuya wasn't an enemy.

Tatsuya then stood up from his seat and sat beside Rossweisse who even though was wasted because of alcohol, laid in his lap along with the puppies who jumped in his lap as well.

Loki was surprised seeing his son and grandsons acting so fondly towards the human and also the silver headed secretary of his father who was infamous for being single acting like that towards the human.

Tatsuya then gave him a glass of wine and said, "Well, I don't think that I need to tell you what kind of situation you are in, right?"

Loki checked whether there was something present in the drink or not by asking Fenrir who after sniffing it told him that the drink was completely fine.

Loki then took a sip and was a bit surprised noticing that it was better than what he used to drink back in Asgard.

He then looked at Tatsuya and said, "You mean by the fact that currently a god like myself is under you as a slave? Yeah, I already know about it."

Tatsuya smirked and said, "Hurts your pride quite a bit, right?"

Hearing that Loki frowned but still nodded his head.

Tatsuya nodded his head and said, "Well I am not going to bullshit like some devil peerage kings about how this is not slavery or something else. I will just say that your situation currently is like a prisoner of war, though the prisoner is sent to another place to being looked after. And whatever you may say, you still have to agree to the fact that if you were to go back to Asgard or Hades to either of three factions you would either be killed or sealed."

Loki stared at Tatsuya for a while trying to asses how this human was and nodded his head.

Tatsuya then took out a paper and said, "Well, since you are currently my responsibility, I will have to take care of you, but you still have to earn your keep. So here" and passed the paler onto the god.

Loki took the paper and Tatsuya said, "Choose whatever job you want to do and make sure to choose something that you are able to do atleast."

Loki looked at paper and saw various job offers listed on it with the conditions and salary.

He got infuriated seeing that the human was asking a god like him to do these lowly things and slammed his fists on the table.

Tatsuya who was still calm patted the troubled Rossweisse who was squirming in his lap as she got surprised by the noise.

"How dare you ask a god like me to do something like this?! Do you really think that I am going to do these things?!"

"Well, if you don't want to starve, wear the same clothes without even taking a bath for weeks, then yes, you will do those things because your abilities are sealed so you won't be able to cause any troubles, and just a fact even these pups are earning their keep by working." to which the pups sat up and puffed their chests with pride, seeing which Tatsuya patted them while Loki's lips were twitching.

Loki then continued to argue with Tatsuya for a while still not willing to abide by his rules and being prideful. Tatsuya also didn't pressed him too much, he knew that he is still a god and has the pride and power of one as well, it will take some time till he will calm himself down and come to think about things realistically.

He looked at Loki and said, "Well, then I will call you again tomorrow, so if you have a change of heart then you can tell me later, Oh and here." and threw a bottle of water and bread towards him.

Loki caught them and was then once again called back to his cell(master ball).

Seeing him vanish away the pups felt a bit sad, he was still their father/grandfather who have raised him and seeing his situation while they can't do anything about it made the sad.

Tatsuya then comforted the pups and said that Loki would understand soon and will be back with them.

The pups just nodded their head hoping that what their new master told him was true.

--------------------

Meanwhile inside the pokeball:

Loki who was lying on the something like a clod whose ends were nowhere to been sighed and said, "That alcohol was really good. Not to mention what he told about me being killed or sealed was true as well, but what I cannot understand is-" he then took out the paper with job offers and said, "How come there is a job of working in a cross dressing bar as a pole dancer at that with the highest pay among all of these jobs." He then once again went through all the jobs written on the paper and then kept it back and went to sleep.
