《Infinite Swordsman and His Cafe》Chapter 13: Hang out and the Wrath of Zelretch
Advertisement
Kojiro looks at Gaia, who decides that he is not her enemy and begins to eat the food on the table. He sat down on the chair, still hesitating because of her quick decision. When he sat down, Cath Palug climbed to his shoulder and nuzzled his cheek before deciding to create a nest on his head.
"So, what happens now?"
Hearing his question, Alaya places down her cup filled with tea and says.
"Well, you are free to go as long as you do not kill all humanity and the planet itself, or you can become my counter guardian, how about that?"
"What? No!"
"Eh~~~ Are you sure? I can give you EX rank Ice Cream, Do you want to join my counter force?!?"
"No"
"Awwww"
I don't know what to do, as the two strongest beings in Nasuverse have the behavior of a child. Gaia is like Koneko from DxD Universe, Kuudere that has an addiction to sweet things. Alaya is like Serafall Leviathan, she has a body that makes a man or even woman horny just by looking at her, but she has a behavior that is like a junior high schooler.
Kojiro looks at Zelretch with a deadpan stare and says.
"Are they always like this?"
"Errrr, why do you think the BEAST can roam in some of the timelines? It was because Gaia was throwing a tantrum. Also, why do you think there are so many EMIYA in the Alaya counter force? It was because Alaya is a possessive being."
"Huh, I guess that makes sense."
After saying that, the room becomes silent as Kojiro sits there awkwardly without knowing what to do. He then decided to take out some snacks from his pocket dimension. He also took out some sake and juice for Gaia.
Zelretch looks at his pocket dimension in interest, while Gaia looks at his brownies with a hungry look on her face. However, the one that makes him uncomfortable is Alaya, as she looks at him with a red face, and she drools a little.
Gaia walked toward him and sat down on his lap, surprising him. After sitting down on his lap, Gaia began devouring the brownies faster than she was eating the food from before.
"Kojiro, what is that?"

"Hmmm?"
"The void that just appears out of nowhere. I can't feel any magic from it, only a distorted feeling for a second, then it disappears. Is it a new way to use Kaleidoscope?!?"
He looks at Zelretch as the old vampire looks at him with an eager face as if he just found some new toys.
"Well, this is my personal, pocket dimension that I create to store all my items."
"Like an Inventory in the RPG game?"
"Oh? You play some games?"
"Of course, How do you think I got an idea to create my Kaleido stick?"
"I see, then yes. My pocket dimension has the same effect of Inventory in the game. However, my pocket dimension can store."
"I see…."
"Also, why don't you ask me when we are alone?"
"Well, Can you imagine if both of them are getting bored waiting for us?"
Kojiro imagines both Gaia and Alaya causing havoc in the Clock Tower. He imagines that Gaia will go to the deepest of Clock Tower and claim that as her territory because of the closeness to the reverse side of the world. He then imagined Alaya going around the world and suddenly stumbled upon some creature like a werewolf and decided to recruit them to her counter force.
"So! Can you show me how to use that pocket dimension?"
"Well, I can do that, but what will you give me in return?"
"Hmmm, let me think of something. Please come back tomorrow morning."
He thought about Zelretch's offer and decided to stay in this universe for a few days and return to the DxD universe.
"Very well."
Kojiro then gives a cup filled with sake to Zelretch and drinks it. Alaya sees them drinking, she grabs the bottle and pour the sake to the cup then drinks it. He can see her eyes become wide before pouring another sake into her cup and drinking it once more.
Gaia looks at the sake bottle in interest, but before she can think about drinking the sake, Kojiro takes another snack from his pocket dimension and begins to feed her mouth with a snack. He also took another juice for her. Kojiro knows that Gaia is older than even Alaya herself. However, she has a form of a child and the behavior of a child. That's why he can't let her drink sake, and he still thinks Gaia as a child who is curious about the sake that they drink.

They spend the time drinking and have a pleasant conversation, while Gaia is asleep on his lap and Fou sleeping on his head. Alaya also drinks the sake that he brings with him. She also demands him to give her some sake so she can bring it to Emiya so he can recreate it.
When he looks at the clock that shows it is already 10 PM, he excuses himself and slowly takes Gaia from his lap to Alaya that already opens up a portal. He looks at Alaya carrying Gaia and Fou while walking toward the portal, leaving both Zelretch and him alone in the room.
"Now, Zelretch, please excuse me."
"Yeah, Remember to come back here tomorrow morning."
"Yes"
Zelretch then escorts him to the lobby, where the other people first see him coming to the clock tower with Zelretch.
Kojiro can see the other people look at him with many expressions; some of them have awe; the other is judging him while the last one has envy and greed. He looks at Zelretch, who has a mischievous expression on his face, and he can see a twinkle in his eyes while looking at him.
He sighs a little before walking away from Zelretch, and when they are a little distance from each other, he says.
"Well, It was fun. Until next time."
He taps his foot into the ground, and suddenly a portal appears in front of him. He looks at Zelretch one more time then says.
"See you next time."
While he walked to the portal, Kojiro could see the people look at him in awe because he used his magic. It was also showing the magus in the Clock Tower that he is the real Kaleidoscope user and not Zelretch trolling them.
When he walks through the portal, Kojiro looks at the Temple where his younger self (Sasaki Kojiro) spends the rest of his day practicing the way of the sword until he releases his last breath.
He then walks toward the abandoned building in the back where he will spend the night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zelretch's smile becomes bigger as he sees the other people face seeing Kojiro use Kaleidoscope in front of them. However, his smile does not last long, as he feels a foul presence behind him.
"What can I do for you, Director?"
He looks at his back, where he sees an Ancient man wearing a white robe and holding a cane on his hand. This man is the Director of the Clock Tower, one of the disciples of Solomon. He has lived more than 2000 years and holds his position as the Director since its foundation.
"I don't know there is another user of Second True Magic, in this world."
"Of course, you don't know."
"You know that man is still young, right? I think we should 'convince' him to stay in the clock tower to…."
Before the Director could finish his sentences, Zelretch flared his magic at its full force, making many magus go unconscious, even some of the weaker magus is already dead. To the one that stays awake from the pressure, look at Zelretch in fear. They can only see a fire with the shape of a human. The fire itself is not a fire as it has the color of a rainbow.
"If you lay a finger on him, then I will kill the entire Clock Tower. If you send anyone to spy on him, then I will kill their entire family, then I will kill you as well. If you think using your magic, then be prepared to have an unmeasurable pain that you never feel before. Do you understand?"
The Director cannot answer his question as the pressure of Zelretch magic makes him semi-paralyzed.
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!?"
Zelretch magic then exploded once more. The Director manages to move his head up and down, indicating that he is understood.
"Good"
Suddenly the pressure is gone when Zelretch walks back to his workshop once more. That day everyone just realized why there is a rule that says 'Never make the Magician angry at you.'
That night every single magus delivered a message to leave the newly discovered user of Kaleidoscope alone. While inside a Temple in Fuyuki City, the one that caused the uproar soundly sleeping.
