Chapter 211 - Shuri's gift

After Tatsuya and the others reached Kyoto he dropped Serafall at the hotel which was under her family so that she can do some work before meeting the Youkai. She wanted Tatsuya to stay with her as well but was denied as Tatsuya had to check on his subordinates and branches in Kyoto as well.

Tatsuya and Rossweisse soon reached their destination and got off the car. Rossweisse was finally able to calm herself down and was now back to her secretary mode.

Both of them then entered a building and as soon as the receptionist saw them her eyes widen and she immediately bowed her head.

"Greetings sir, it is a pleasure to for us to have you here, do you want us to inform the manager?"

Tatsuya shook his hands and said, "No need for that, a surprise would be better than her being informed about us."

Hearing that the receptionist's lips twitched and she thought, 'Shuri-san is done for'.

The receptionist then personally led them to the manager's office and once they were in front of the room Tatsuya asked her to go back.

Once she was gone Tatsuya looked at Rossweisse and said, "Don't make a noise."

Rossweisse nodded and said, "I und-" but Tatsuya immediately covered her mouth with his hands while placed his own finger on his lips gesturing her to remain silent.

Rossweisse whose mouth was being held by Tatsuya was not able to think properly and just stayed quiet while her imagination once again started running wild. 'What is he going to do to me. He first led me to a room, then sent the other person away, asked me to keep quiet and is now covering my mouth so that no voice leaks from my mouth.... IT'S DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE TROPES I ONCE SAW IN AN AD*LT VIDEO!!!'

Tatsuya then pulled her body closer making her blush getting deeper and then silently phased through the door. along with Rossweisse.

Once both of them were inside Tatsuya left Rossweisse and crept closer to the person who was sitting on the chair facing the other way.

"So a new item came, huh. A whip modified to give electric shocks as well. Definitely gonna buy it! A new gag as well. Oh! So many new 'toys' to play with!"

Tatsuya then said, "You seem to be enjoying yourself."

"Yeah, today came the new catalogue an-" suddenly she stopped and turned around and saw Tatsuya looking at her with a smile on her face.

"Looks like your are working nicely, seeing that you have the time to look at the new 'toys' catalogue at work."

Shuri started sweating when she saw her boss's smile and didn't know what to do.

"So how is the work coming along?"

Shuri immediately stood up and took out some files from a bundle and gave it to Tatsuya. "Here, sir."

Tatsuya took a file and gave it to Rossweisse who immediately took it and started going through them. Tatsuya then took his and started going through it as well.

Shuri, who saw Tatsuya and the silver haired woman who she didn't knew going through the files, immediately hid her catalogue and asked someone to bring tea and snacks quickly.

A few moments later once both Tatsuya and Rossweisse went through the files Tatsuya looked at Rossweisse who shook her head.

Tatsuya looked at Shuri who flinched at his gaze. Tatsuya then said, "Lucky, she had all the files done this time around, I was totally in the mood of seeing my mother-in-law making excuses to not fire her." and then clicked his tongue.

Hearing that Shuri sighed while Rossweisse chuckled. Shuri then looked at Tatsuya with a smile on her face and said, "Sorry to dissapoint you boss, I have been working diligently for a while, but you know-"

Before she could continue Tatsuya said, "You are not getting a raise."

Hearing that Shuri flinched and then said, "As perceptive as ever. Just raise it a bit, I have to buy some 'toys'."

"That man of torture is earning as well, he is more than sufficient to buy the stuff that he likes."

Shuri then clicked her tongue and then took her seat as well and asked, "So why are you here, don't tell me that you came here to just meet your beautiful mother-in-law."

Hearing that Rossweisse looked at Tatsuya and asked, "Akeno-san?"

Tatsuya nodded and said, "Yeah, she is Akeno's mother, Shuri, Shuri this is Rossweisse, my secretary."

Rossweisse bowed her head and said. "Nice to meet you, I am Rossweisse, a former Valkyrie from Valhalla."

Shuri bowed her head as well and said, "Shuri Himejima, former member of the Himejima clan, by the way are you a S or a M?"

Rossweisse's lips twitched and Tatsuya said, "Ignore her antics, by the way, how has the things going on the supernatural side of Kyoto?"

Shuri looked at Tatsuya and said, "Nothing much is happening here, not much of open problems, though the ones in secret are not in my knowledge."

Tatsuya nodded and said, "Well, whatever we came here along with Sera. She has some peace talk to do Youkai and Shinto faction. I am on a vacation for the week. After which I would have my school trip."

Shuri widened her eyes and asked, "Peace talk, are they making an alliance, which side are we on?"

Tatsuya laid back comfortably and said, "None, we are staying neutral, it's better to stay out of the ways of those old and prideful factions. Oh, but your daughter and husband are a part of the alliance."

Shuri nodded and then asked Rossweisse, "So are you the secretary huh, how much is he paying you and making you work?"

Rossweisse and Shuri then started talking with eachother as both of them felt a connection between them, their boss makes/used to work them to the bone.(Tatsuya for Shuri and Odin for Rossweisse)

Tatsuya then left them on their own and said, "I will be in my room ask someone to give me the keys of my suite."

Shuri then took out a card from her pocket and said, "Already did, Here." and threw it towards Tatsuya who caught the key and went to the suite which only belonged to him.

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

Later that evening Tatsuya talked to Serafall and both of them decided to visit the Youkai faction the next day as Serafall wanted to rest a bit longer.

Tatsuya then decided to take a bath and went in the bathroom.

Once he was done he came out only wearing shorts and lied down on the bed to sleep.

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

Rossweisse, who got her key from Shuri decided to rest as well. She really liked talking to Shuri and exchanged contacts with her to talk to her once she went back with Tatsuya, it was very rare for her to find someone who is able to understand her situation and since talking to her was enjoyable she decided that they could be good friends.

She entered the room and switched on the lights and went inside but once she got in she was completely shocked.

In front of Rossweisse Tatsuya was lying on the bed wearing nothing but shorts. Seeing that a blush immediately appeared on her face and she didn't know what to do in such a situation.

Suddenly she recieved a message on her phone and immediately took it out so as to distract her mind.

Messages

SHURI HIMEJIMA:

So how is my gift Ross-chan, great right, no need to thank me. Just think of it as a gift for our friendship and enjoy to your heart's content.????????????

P.S. - The room is completely soundproof you can scream as loud as you want.

Rossweisse immediately put her phone back and covered her cheeks and thought, 'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY ENJOY TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT!!!! MY HEART IS GOING TO COME OUT OF MY CHEST IN THIS KIND OF SITUATION!!!!'

She then looked at the sleeping Tatsuya and stared at his face for a while.

"Handsome, right?"

Out of nowhere she heard a voice and jumped back in surprise.

She then looked at Tatsuya and then noticed a body started to manifest near him and soon it Kurumi came in her sight.

Seeing her Rossweisse sighed and said, "Don't scare me like that Kurumi-san."

Kurumi chuckled and said, "Oh, don't mind me it's just a bad habit of mine, by the way why are you here, planning to 'attack' him while he is asleep. You are sly one, eh. Well I will join you to keep you company."

Hearing that Rossweisse immediately shook her head and started explaining what happened.

After hearing that she immediately placed a sound barrier around Tatsuya and started laughing loudly making Rossweisse more embarresed.

Once she was done she looked at Rossweisse and said, "So what will you do now? You can 'attack' if you want to?"

But Rossweisse immediately rejected.

Hearing that Kurumi smirked and said, "Well aren't you good natured, if any of the other girls from back home were to see him like this they would at the very least take the opportunity to snuggle upto him."

Kurumi sighed and said, "Well, I guess he would be happy about this as well, his fatigue has really taken a toll on his body. So letting him rest is a good idea."

Hearing that Rossweisse asked, "What does he do aside from going to school that he is tired?"

Hearing that Kurumi gave a wry smile and said, "Well, from the point of view of all of you, you may not know but for someone like me who is a part of him and occasionally go and reside inside him know how much he is working, though not physically, there are more than thousand clones that are working for him and each day after they disperse the amount of info from all of them...let's just say it is not comparable to anything I have seen. And he is doing that everyday, so it is natural that he is tired."

Hearing that Rossweisse's eyes widened and she asked, "Seriously, how much mental resistance does he have?"

Kurumi snickered and said, "Comparable to Ruyaa and it is only because of it that he can withstand all this, not even all the members of the group combined can take in and process that much information on a whole day, much less and instant like he does. Compared to us, his work is way too much, there are many clones who are maintaing the balance between various races so that conflict do not arise between them."

Rossweisse was totally surprised hearing about the things that her boss is doing, she cannot believe what Kurumi was saying was the truth but still the tone of her voice and the look in her eyes made her feel that the woman in front of her was indeed telling the truth.

Suddenly she realised something and asked, "Wait a minute, you are saying that he is maintaining peace between various faction around the globe!!!"

Hearing that Kurumi smirked and said, "I don't have the exact details as even I don't have the complete authority to look over his memories but I can still tell that he have enough gained enough favours and acquaintances that he can make atleast an average sized faction if ever needs."

Rossweisse who had her fair share of reactions today just accepted the fact that her boss was awesome and didn't questioned him.

She then looked at Tatsuya and then asked, "By the way, where would I be sleeping?"

Kurumi snorted and said, "Just get on the bed, I can guarantee that he wouldn't do anything. I hardly believe that you are willing to sleep on the floor when this comfortable thing is right here." and then pushed the mattress a bit which immediately engulfed her hand showing how soft it was.

Rossweisse then thought for a while and then lied in the bed as well though she made a wall of pillows between the two of them.

Kurumi also lied beside Tatsuya and then asked, "Don't tell the others about what we just talked about, he don't want them to worry about him.

Rossweisse just nodded and then slowly drifted off to sleep.
