Chapter 3 – Midnight Arrival

Part 1 

It had become just as she feared. 

「To think, that the day us fellow godslayers killing each other will come……!」 

Aisha felt like her heart would be crushed by worry. 

In a sense, they were like brothers and sisters where there were only seven of them in this world. Yet despite so, days of blood feud where siblings would strike down each other were going to begin. 

「Even though I came together with Onii-sama to Japan in order to prvernt this!」 

Thanks to the intense shock, she recalled the objective of why she had arrived in Japan. 

If only she didn’t meet the misfortune of losing her wallet, Aisha would visit around the Campiones who enterd Tokyo, and with that they should be able to awaken their loving heart one after another. Perhaps. 

But, fate was always cruel. 

In addition it was even merciless and irrational. 

This time too due to the mischievousness of fate Aisha was toyed around vainly and she was unable to accomplish her ambition of preventing the devil king civil war before it happened……. 

「Now that it’s come to this, then I too.」 

In order to stand against the sad fate, Aisha chanted the usual power of words. 

「……While good results hasn’t ripen yet, even virtuous person will encounter evil. If the times when good results ripen arrive then virtue will be met. Good results should be in virtuous person, bad results should be in wicked person……」 

The authority to call in divine protection of fortune. This was the keywords of its activation. 

To oppose the powerful irrationality of fate, this much cunning deed was necessary. 

「Please protect me somehow, until I show the way to the end of this civil war……」 

She wandered the airport while saying the prayer from her heart through her mouth. 

Actually for Aisha this also wasn’t her first time staying in Japan. 

At that time, if she remembered correctly Tokyo was in the middle of student movement of All-Campus Joint Struggle League――. (TN: All-Campus Joint Struggle League was a student group active at universities throughout Japan between 1968 and 1969) 

In any event, the situation in Haneda Airport was really different with that time when she came here. It seemed that while she didn’t notice a large scale renewal was conducted to this airport. 

Though she ended up getting lost several times inside this unfamiliar airport. 

Even so she arrived at a bus stop and she finally reached until the station that was her destination. 

(Sometimes she felt like someone was watching her from behind but, most likely that was just her misunderstanding. Aisha who had brown skin seemed to stand out in Japan.) And then, she got off the bus. 

「My, Sinjuku Station……?」(TN: Not a typo, that is what in the raw) 

Aisha tilted her head just for a moment but she soon returned to her senses. 

「How could this be!? I seemed to mistake the bus!」 

In front of the station there was so many people despite the night time for Akihabara. 

When she thought that, she noticed the station name『

Shinjuku Station』that was written on the station building (this building was also really large compared to Akihabara station). 

Her location was at the bus terminal that was established jointly with the south entrance of Shinjuku station. 

If she didn’t quickly go home to her work place in Akihabara――. 

When she was about to run at the ticket window, Aisha changed her thinking. 

「The time soon……will be the start of the civil war isn’t it…… 」 

‘It was extremely dangerous if she received night attack at her defenseless bed’, that wasn’t something that Aisha had thought until that far. 

She wasn’t thinking that, but such possibility sparked brightly in the corner of her mind fleetingly when Aisha murmured. 「In that case, let’s play around at night for a bit!」 

In order to stroll Shinjuku at night, Aisha turned her back on the station building. 

The destination that her feet brought her toward following her mood was the bustling street around the east entrance of Shinjuku station. It was the so called『Shinjuku’s Kabukichou 』, at the『First Street』which was particularly famous as a bar street. 

「Welcome miss! You have a lovely appearance!」 

「My, you yourself too.」 

The one who suddenly called out at Aisha was a nurse wearing nurse uniform. 

However, this place wasn’t a hospital but the first street of Kabukichou. A neighborhood that was crowded with jumble of restaurant and karaoke, and type of shop where a peek of shop with a little indecent business conditions and adult world could be seen. Currently Aisha was smack dab in the middle of such place. 

By the way the nurse was a tall statured beauty, with impressive bright brown hair and heavy makeup. 

「Come a little bit at our shop please. We are having a campaign where a lot of service is provided for guest who is wearing cosplay you know~」 

「Co, cosplay?」 

When she was told that, Aisha finally realized. 

Aisha was still wearing the uniform of maid café. When she noticed the written invitation from Luo Hao-oneesama, she dashed out from the café in hurry without even changing clothes. 

Thus, now she was forcefully lured into a small restaurant on the third floor of a multi-tenant building. 

The name of the restaurant was『Cosplay Tavern Battamon』. Inside there were staffs serving customers dressed as bunny girl, police woman, and courtesan wearing kimono. While the customers were wearing costume like sailor uniform pretty girl soldier, magical girl, giant of light that came from M78 Galaxy, American comic hero that was a spider man wearing tights all over his body, and so on. They were all clamoring jovially. 

「Now now now, please take a drink.」 

「I, I can’t-. As you can see, I am just as you can see a seventeen years old maiden who will make even the flower blush! I am at the age where the law of Japan is forbidding me to drink alcohol!」 

Aisha was taken by the nurse onto a seat at the bar counter. 

A medium-sized bottle of beer and a glass was taken out before Aisha’s eyes which she firmly refused. However. 

「Fufufufu. Honored guest, right now you are lying aren’t you?

」 


「Fuah!?」 

「I get it just from a glance. Your face is face that is living while hiding the truth. But please be at ease. After all I am the same like you. You see, this tavern is a place for that kind of dregs to gather, a place to obtain a momentary healing.」「Ju, just what are you saying, I don’t understand at all!」 Right after she quickly played dumb, Aisha noticed. 

This nurse, on top of having a height that was nearly 180 centimeter, her Adam’s apple was excessively sticking out, in addition her shoulder width also looked wide……. When Aisha strained her ear, the nurse’s voice also sounded husky……. So that meant, 

「Now now. Don’t be reserved and drink it in one gulp. Right in one gulp.」 

「Ye, yes.」 

Aisha was spontaneously overwhelmed and accepted the beer the nurse poured into the glass. 

Her throat was also dry, so she drained up the glass that was filled with beer. The glass was emptied in one go. The alcohol went down smoothly through her throat. 

Aisha let out a deep sigh『houu-』after a glass of beer after so long. 

「My my. I feel a little better.」 

「Isn’t that right, isn’t that right. Please one more glass. This won’t be in your tab but my treat.」 

「That’s not good. Oops oops, it’s overflowing.」 

「It’s fine it’s fine. For some reason I get the feeling that I have to be gentle on you miss. You make me recall my big sister back at my village.」 

The beer that had been poured until the limit must not get spilled. 

Aisha drank the second glass in hurry. She wasn’t sipping at the glass, but emptying it in one go. At this time, a switch inside Aisha was turned on. 

「Presenting the third glass gently is a manner in Japan isn’t it……」 

With a graceful hand movement, the glass was put on the counter without sound. 

In the end, Aisha drank up two medium beer bottle and a glass of blue apple sour cocktail. When she left the restaurant, she received a red hood from an uncle wearing wolf cosplay that she got to know well while drinking. 

Madam Aisha’s appearance became the hybrid of red hood + maid uniform. 

When she aimlessly wandered Kabukichou with slightly tipsy movement, she had already passed by a group of three uncles who were getting drunk in good vibes. 

She was invited into a karaoke, so for the time being she accompanied them. 

While Aisha was enthusiastically singing『Sukiyaki Song』and 『Like a River Flow』from her repertoire of few Japanese song, she drank two glasses of soda mixed with Japanese plum brandy. 

Midway, she encountered a group of two women around the age of thirty at the corridor inside the karaoke, and they hit it off. 

They moved location at the nearby seafood bar and started an emergency girls-only gathering. 

While snacking on plate of assorted sashimi, avocado prawn, and shrimp, Aisha emptied two ceramic bottles of Japanese sake – Hakkaisan by herself……. 

The “devilish woman” who always charmed all the people she encountered, Madam Aisha. 

If such woman was carelessly let out at a bustling street, she would be invited by people who she met for the first time on her way to「let’s drink together」, it was already inevitable for her to begin『barhopping until morning』. 

This night too Aisha was favorably piling up alcohol bottles. 

After the girl-only gathering, she leaped into a drinking party of a certain construction company that consisted of thirty people and participated in their drinking contest. 

In the middle of drinking shochu sake in a sushi restaurant for the afterparty――the needle of the clock had just about to reach twelve o’clock before long. 

Aisha who was rightly drunk didn’t notice about such thing at all. 

「It will be midnight soon huh……」 

Andrea Rivera whispered after seeing his wristwatch. 

「Are you still planning to kill time here, Salvatore Doni?」 

「About time huh―」 

Tokyo metropolis Koutou district, Shinkiba. 

Deep at night, two men were walking on seaside where a lot of warehouses were standing in a row. 

One of the two, Salvatore Doni grinned, then he looked up to the night sky. There were few clouds so the winter constellation could be seen well. 

The moon was also bright. It was a night that was unsuited for surprise attack under the cover of darkness. 

That kind of surprise attack was easier to do the darker it was. However, it wasn’t a fitting way of fighting for them the 

Campiones, so it was a factor that didn’t matter. When they wielded their many authorities that could even strike down god, it would be rally flashy and showy no matter what. 

「For the time being, I still don’t have the plan about who I want to attack.」 

「How unexpected. This is you we are talking about, so I thought that you are going to go attacking happily.」 

「If it’s one on one, the of course I will be like that. But this time the end is still far ahead. I intend to progress the event following the game plan that I thought of before this.」 

「What?」 

Rivera frowned at Doni who suddenly snickered. 

「Don’t say something absurd. There is no way someone like you have the ability to hatch up a plan.」 

「Oi oi. Just what do you think I am huh.」 

「Then, let’s try hearing your whatever plan as a test.」 

「Sure thing. First of all, I am going to take it easy to conserve my energy at the beginning. Even if someone pick a fight then I’ll finish it quickly. Then, when the event is approaching conclusion pleasantly, I’m going to go boom boom. I’ll wrap up the war at the end in one go. Like that then all the applause will come to me, clap clap claps.」 

「I’ll let you in to a secret. Something like that cannot be called a plan.」 

「Shut up. Well, anyway」 

Doni boasted with conviction. 

「I am thinking that the fellows who are more serious than me will start to move aiming for the most troublesome scene. It will be slightly further ahead……when they remember about me, I think?」 

「I agree with you there. And then, you」 

The “friend” that had associated for long with Salvatore Doni in many things understood well the position of『The King of Sword』among the seven Campiones. 

He whispered with more conviction than Doni. 

「You will thoroughly enjoy the endgame of devil king civil war that will be the fiercest part of the battle to decide who will be the challenger, and then you are going to ride that momentum to challenge the strongest war god.」 That was exactly the desire of Salvatore Doni. 

The Campione of sword grinned complacently hearing that splendid right guess.
