EPHS-CHAPTER 247 NEW MEMBERS

“Wu wu wu… Odin-Sama is so outrageous! How could he abandon me, wu wu wu…” In the Kamiya Family’s living room, the pitiful Valkyrie Rossweisse wiped away her tears in sorrow.

After the meeting of the gods, Odin, the old man, returned to the Nordic Mythology camp, but Rossweisse was left behind. No, to be precise, she was fired!

“Rossweisse, my dear, you are an excellent woman of war, but staying by this old man’s side is a waste of your youth and talent,” Odin had said when he left. “So, from now on, you are free to pursue your dreams and life!”

Recalling those words from Odin, Rossweisse couldn’t help clenching her fists in anger. What does he mean by wasting my youth and talent? What does he know about the efforts I put into this job?!

“Alright, alright, Rossweisse-San, we have arranged a job for you at school. Don’t be sad anymore,” Rias comforted her while patting Rossweisse’s shoulder.

“Wu wu… Really?”

“Yes, we have arranged it according to your expectations. But Rossweisse-San, do you really want to be a teacher instead of a student? You’re about the same age as us, right?”

“Don’t judge me by my appearance. I skipped grades and finished school in my home country. Although I’m still young, I can be a great teacher!” Rossweisse replied confidently. However, the reality of being fired weighed heavily on her, making Valkyrie feel even more downcast.

“Since Rossweisse-San has decided to stay here and develop, how about taking a look at this?” Rias handed her a stack of documents with a sly smile on her face. As Rossweisse finished reading the documents, her expression turned incredulous.

“No… No way! The insurance payout is so high, and the basic salary is completely different. Can devils really make this much money?”

“Hehehe… Not only that but if Rossweisse-San joins our Underworld and becomes a member of the Gremory family as my Peerage, there are even more special benefits!” Rias teased.

“Oh my! I can’t believe…”

The living room echoed with Rossweisse’s astonished exclamations, while Tenraku and the other girls smiled and watched Rias’ performance.

Poor Rossweisse, as the personal guard of the God King Odin, she should have been a white-collar professional. However, after seeing the benefits Rias offered, she realized just how stingy that old Odin was!

Unable to refuse such treatment and benefits, and considering that it was the despicable Odin himself who had fired her, she didn’t think anyone would object to her joining the Underworld. Thus, under the influence of Rias’ sweet words, Rossweisse agreed to become Rias’ Peerage.

“Welcome to our team, Rossweisse,” Rias said with a beaming smile as she handed Rossweisse a Rook piece. Their address to each other became more intimate.

Rossweisse was an excellent soldier from Nordic Mythology, and if it weren’t for the agreement between Tenraku and Odin, it would have been difficult for her to become such an outstanding member of Rias’ Peerage.

“Well then, everyone, please take care of me from now on,” Rossweisse said as she accepted the Devil piece and integrated it into her body. With a dazzling light, Rossweisse transformed into a reincarnated Devil, growing a pair of Devil wings on her back.

As a high-ranking Valkyrie, she was suitable to be used as a mobile artillery with the attributes of a Rook. Just imagining Rossweisse firing magic pulse cannons in battle made even Tenraku feel excited!

Having fought together before and now becoming Rias’ Peerage, the girls in the house welcomed Rossweisse’s addition. And to facilitate future actions together, Rossweisse naturally moved into the Kamiya Family’s residence.

“Rias, can I be your Peerage too, meow?” Suddenly, Kuroka’s voice rang out from the side. Tenraku and the girls couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward Kuroka, who was lazily reclining on the sofa, while Ni and Li attentively massaged her shoulders and legs.

These two silly and adorable Nekomata had completely become Kuroka’s devoted little sisters, admiring and idolizing her. Tenraku allowed it because Kuroka had indeed taught them many techniques.

“Kuroka, are you serious?” Rias asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

“I’m serious, meow. Since Shirone is already your Peerage, I might as well become your Peerage too,” Kuroka replied lazily, finding a comfortable position.

“Of course, if you don’t want to, then forget I said anything, meow,” She added.

“I’m willing, of course. However, I only have a 【Pawn】 piece left,” Rias smiled faintly, not refusing such a good opportunity.

In terms of strength alone, Kuroka would definitely rank among the top three in this household. Even Rias herself, without using the power of the Red Dragon Emperor, wasn’t confident in winning against her.

Although this woman had a dark past, there was no doubt that she loved Koneko, and through their time together, Rias had come to trust her.

“【Pawn】 is 【Pawn】, I don’t mind, meow. Let’s form a contract now,” Kuroka replied indifferently as she sat up.

Kuroka excelled in various monster techniques, immortal techniques, magic, and even physical combat. She belonged to the versatile type, and the influence of the piece’s attributes on her wasn’t significant.

Moreover, although the 【Pawn】 piece was the weakest in its normal state, once it entered the enemy’s camp and reached a King’s judgment, it could promote to 【Bishop】, 【Knight】, 【Rook】, or even 【Queen】. It was like a bug that could surpass any piece except the King.

Since both sides had no objections, Rias didn’t say much either. She took out the 【Pawn】 piece and formed a contract with Kuroka.

Kuroka had a high level and possessed formidable strength. She also had the Bloodline of the Nekoshou clan. It took Rias four pieces to successfully convert her into her own Peerage.

“Please take care of me in the future, meow, my King,” Kuroka said with a smile, adjusting to the changes in her body.

“Yes, please take care of me too, Kuroka,” Rias replied.

With the addition of two powerful Peerage members, Rias was extremely delighted. Now, considering the lineup of her Peerage alone, she surpassed both Tenraku and Sona!

“Now you’re happy, right, Shirone?” Kuroka chuckled as she gently stroked Koneko-Chan’s forehead.

“Yes, Nee- Sama,” Koneko nodded vigorously with her face beaming with happiness…
