Chapter 1328 Receiving the Guests

"Are you done?" Gwenn returned with a bunch of snacks in her arms.

Kisuke first slowly lowered his head towards Gwenn before turning towards Stralit, "Well then, Ms. Stralit. I will be waiting for your contact." He didn't say anything else before leaving in a random direction.

Gwenn waited for him to disappear from her sight before asking, "Can we trust him?"

"Of course not. Although he was able to help me out, I don't know much about him." Stralit lied with a straight face, "But using him is a lot better than using Alicia's contacts. She's only hiding our existence because you're blackmailing her."

"That's true... It won't be long before someone notices so it's better to take some distance from her." While Gwenn has questions, she doesn't really become suspicious of Stralit, "What did you talk about anyway? Is he useful in the first place?"

"He apparently works directly under someone called Mephisto Pheles and has some information that we want."

Gwenn passes her snacks to Stralit before taking out her terminal to look up the name 'Mephisto Pheles', "...An influential and old Devil that primarily works within the Human World. He's the chairman of an organization of Magicians called Grauzauberer that remains neutral between Shiva and Indra. Hmmm... But there's nowhere in his profile that he's related to someone called John Smith. It's either he's a secret piece or not important enough to be listed here. Which is it?"

"Actually, he just gave me a piece of information. You could decide after hearing that."

"What is it?"

"The lover of your very important friend seems to have opened a path to another world once again."

Gwenn's eyes widened and she hurriedly tapped away on her terminal. A few seconds later, she started muttering, "...There's no information about that at all. How accurate is this?"

Stralit just shrugged her shoulders, "Who knows? We'll be able to confirm that once Alicia gets the same information and verify it."

Gwenn wanted to directly ask Alicia about this but stopped herself. If this is true, then that would mean they got acquainted with someone who's capable of gathering vital information like this and she would hate it if Alicia gets him, "Let's wait for a few days. For the time being, I'll try contacting Yoruichi to ask more about this strange world and that strange space they call the Dimensional Gap."

Yoruichi sighed, [Fine...] But soon enough a crazed smile also appeared on her face, [If you plan to go all in, make sure to grab the feet of those higher-ups.]

"Leave it to me~!" Kisuke chuckled and ended the call. He was still keeping his disguise but he already left Draconic Deus some time ago and is on his way towards Seraselbes.

Sona, who had been listening to Yoruichi and Kisuke's conversation, had glistening eyes, "So we can finally do something?"

Yoruichi nodded, "Let's call everyone and prepare to set a trap. We won't be able to get everyone, but it's still good enough to slow them down."

"Wouldn't that give it away that we're somehow related to whatever he's going to do?"

"Probably, but without proper evidence, all they could do is speculate."

As they were talking, Sona saw an urgent notification pop in and the moment she brought it up she made a surprised expression, "How surprising..."

Yoruichi went around her and took a peek at her screen, "Hoo... Now they want direct contact? Do you think the DxD Team is aware of this?"

"With how things are going on with the Alliance, I doubt it. They're probably losing confidence in them so they had no choice but to let go of their middleman. And most probably, she's asking for direct contact because of those two new Etoulde that Kisuke told you." Sona replied while typing on her keyboard and setting up the schedule for the meeting, "Are you coming?"

"As long as it's only them. And I'll bring Aika too. I don't really want to be stared at by Gwenn too much."

"Alright. Aika is free too so she should be able to come immediately. Where should I set it up?"

Yoruichi thought about it for a moment before replying, "I guess somewhere deserted. Somewhere where a little bit of noise won't be a problem."
