Chapter 205: A deal with Odin
When Rossweisse made a magic circle of teleportation to Asgard for them, Eiji thought the first sight that greeted him was natural beauty with magnificent ancient buildings.
But no, what he saw first was a highway like in the human world. But the buildings there were tall, all tall with a modern architectural style that was not at all outdated, or rather a little more advanced than the buildings in the human world.
Almost all the buildings were made of metal, not knowing what kind of metal, but Eiji could see that there were some rune-type magic installed in each of the buildings. That must be Norse magic, the Asgardians including their own gods had their own magic system that was different from humans, devils, angels and races from other mythologies.
They exist in another dimension different from the world of humans and devils, according to the original work Asgard is actually one of the worlds located on the Yggdrasil World Tree. Of the nine realms on that tree, Asgard occupied one of the realms. Eiji didn't know what the other eight realms were filled with.
Other than him, Rossweisse, and Grayfia he had brought along which made him walk with two silver-haired women beside him.
There were many people, not all, but many of them were wearing all-white clothes and some were wearing armor with swords or spears walking around.
"The scenery of Asgard is better than I thought, right Grayfia?"
"Un, to be honest this is also my first time to Asgard although I have long heard about this place. They are richer than the people in the underworld." Grayfia said, she naturally put on her maid francis uniform and walked at his right side.
"And the leader of the people who live here is Odin, right?" Eiji looked at Rossweisse who was walking on his left side. Although he already knew the answer.
Rossweisse nodded. "Yes, Odin-sama is the King of Asgard and the main God in Norse mythology. He lives in Valhalla. I can actually transport us there directly, but I thought you might be interested in a little sightseeing on the way."
"Sorry! Do you want to go straight to Valhalla?"
The silver-haired woman in the secretary's suit panicked as if afraid of making a mistake. Eiji and Grayfia found this woman amusing.
Eiji smiled, he saw not far ahead there was a building that was more stylish and magnificent than the others. At the top of the building, he could feel someone's gaze from there, it must be Odin and his magical eyes that were better than a star telescope.
"Although I'm a little interested, but let's go straight to your boss, Rossweisse. He seems to have seen us coming and can't wait to meet."
Hearing this, Rossweisse immediately created another teleportation magic circle. The process was quick, the woman herself was actually a genius at using norse magic. With a wave of the hand, a lavender magic circle was created under their feet and the scenery around instantly changed into something similar to an office.
There were many books, round lamps, tables and chairs where one of the chairs had an old man already seated while holding his staff.
"Welcome to Valhalla, Eiji and... Grayfia."
"You don't mind me bringing Grayfia with me, do you?"
"No, of course not. I'm just a little surprised that the rumors are true."
Odin looked at Grayfia who stood obediently behind the seated Eiji. The woman who used to be the wife of the most famous maou in the underworld, Sirzechs. Now that woman became another man's woman.
And that man was Eiji!
Realizing his gaze, Grayfia gave him a cold stare, he immediately averted his gaze from the woman. That woman was very beautiful, but he dared not have any ideas about her, especially when Eiji looked at him with a smile.
Somehow, Odin felt he had just saved his own life from something bad. Rossweisse had already served them tea and standing behind him, he pretended to cough before saying.
"Eiji, you may have heard it from Rossweisse. But I am Odin, the old old man who became King of Asgard and the leader of Norse mythology." Odin introduced himself.
Eiji sat down casually, he looked at the magic books on the shelf before looking again at Odin and said. "I'm Eiji Seiya, the lucky human."
"Hahaha! Lucky human you say?" Odin laughed, he looked at the boy in front of him with an interested gaze. Even with his magic eyes, he could not clearly see the other party's power. He had seen Eiji's power when fighting with Poseidon and killed that god easily.
Seen from any angle, as long as people weren't stupid, they knew Eiji hadn't unleashed all his power in that fight back then. If he really did, Odin himself actually lacked the confidence to be that boy's opponent.
"Hm huh, what's so funny?" Eiji drank his tea, he did not forget to praise Rossweisse in his heart.
[The tea Rossweisse made is really good, it's actually no less than what Grayfia used to make for me. Just with this skill... I don't know why she didn't have a boyfriend until now. Oh right, it's because of the arrangements made by the original author.]
Rossweisse smiled, her smile was like a flower that had just bloomed because a man had complimented her. She was happy of course, but she frowned slightly because until now she had difficulty getting a boyfriend, maybe because of the arrangement made by the author? Which author is it?
Odin was actually a little surprised, he clearly saw his bodyguard suddenly smiling behind him even though he did not look back, with his magical eyes, he knew.
What is wrong with this woman? Suddenly smiling, could it be because of Eiji? This woman kept denying their previous relationship, but she seemed to be interested in the boy in front of her.
Grayfia's lips twitched, the two men in this room seemed to have a bad idea. However, she knew Rossweisse who had already been seen by Eiji was unlikely to escape from the man's hands.
Rossweisse was beautiful, no worse than her and she was also one of the heroine.
Grayfia who knew Eiji could guess where this was going.
"How about a woman? Not just any woman of course. Rossweisse is quite pretty and nice, right? She hasn't had a boyfriend so far. I often feel sorry for her when I know many of her friends are married and have children."
"She's the only one who has remained single until now. As the boss, I feel the need to help her. Eiji, take care of her."
"O-Odin-sama what are you saying?! You sold me?!"
Rossweisse was dumbfounded, she glared at Odin angrily, but there was also embarrassment on her face because she didn't seem to really hate this idea? After all she herself was actually sick of having a stingy boss like Odin.
She looked at Eiji who also seemed to be surprised and wondered if he would refuse? She was getting very nervous.
She would probably be happy if Eiji agreed, but she would be depressed if he refused because wouldn't that prove that she was unattractive in the eyes of men?
"I refuse." Eiji said which made everyone surprised.
You refused?!
Grayfia even looked at the man doubtfully, you really rejected the heroine that was delivered to your mouth?
Rossweisse's blue eyes lost their sparkle, they looked dim and a wave of depression instantly slid over her heart that made her want to crouch behind the sofa.
She was about to crouch down, but before she did. Eiji didn't seem to be finished with what he wanted to say.
He said her name.
"Don't get me wrong. Rossweisse is very beautiful, I myself liked her a little the first time she came to my house."
"But Odin, I don't like the way you use a woman like Rossweisse as a bargaining chip. How could you do such a thing without considering Rossweisse's own feelings?"
!
Odin opened his mouth wordlessly, the old man's face also seemed to look a little embarrassed by what he did. He really did not expect Eiji to refuse, even after he saw the boy's interest in his bodyguard.
Grayfia, especially Rossweisse whose eyes were glowing again looked at Eiji with surprise and tenderness. Very soft, there was a sweetness in it.
This... Unmistakably, this woman also fell. Grayfia thought in her heart. As expected of her man, he was very good at stealing the hearts of innocent women, even a beautiful Valkyrie like Rossweisse was no exception.
?{Wow~ Host, what level trick is this? Hey, what level trick is this?}
Miss System... What trick? Eiji didn't understand what this woman was talking about.
"Rossweisse, sorry. My fault for not asking your opinion first. But what do you think? You are free to refuse of course." Odin asked that silver-haired valkyrie.
However, while everyone was waiting for Rossweisse's answer and before the woman opened her mouth.
Someone suddenly opened the door to Odin's office without knocking and entered in a loud voice.
"Where is Eiji Seiya? I heard he came to Asgard. Come out and fight with me!!"
