In a dressing room, Huo Yun'er walks around Huo Yuhao and judges his current outfit.
"Hmm, this looks good."
"But this color is better."
"Suit or Casual? What do you think, Grayfia?"
Grayfia stared at Huo Yuhao, who wore a formal blue navy suit and black-white striped tie. His short blue hair was swept to the back, making his handsome face more prominent than usual.
And his tall stature makes the suit look better.
"I think this is the best, Mistress." She answered approvingly.
"Right~?!" Huo Yun'er squealed happily, leaving Huo Yuhao speechless inside.
Who would have thought Huo Yuhao could experience something like this in his life?
"Let's do some photo shoots first." Huo Yun'er suddenly said.
"Grayfia, grab the camera."
Grayfia grabbed a camera out of nowhere and replied, "I'm ready, Mistress." Her ruby-like eyes are shining brightly.
"..." Huo Yuhao.
...
...
After the tedious modeling photoshoots, Huo Yuhao leaned on the sofa and sighed exhaustedly. Huo Yun'er and Grayfia are giggling on the side, ogling his pictures.
Huo Yuhao loosened his tea and heard a click.
"Oh, Come on..." He gave Huo Yun'er a questioning look.
Huo Yun'er giggled while holding her camera, giving Huo Yuhao a peck on the cheek. "Hehe, I can't help myself, you know? My Hao'er looks very handsome and hot when loosening his tie~!" She replied while showing him the picture.
'Damn.' Huo Yuhao checked his picture, which is very detailed and high quality. Even the camera in his previous life was garbage compared to this.
He doesn't want to admit it, but this picture likely would become a thirst trap for women in the Dragon Nest. Well, maybe not because Huo Yun'er never shared something special with someone else like Qianye Ying'er.
It'll become her treasure.
"I'll keep this as my treasure~!" Huo Yun'er declared proudly.
"Yup." Huo Yuhao could only accept reality.
Grayfia stopped twiddling with pictures and received a message from Giana. And yes, she also received a watch connected to the Dragon Nest's Networks.
"Yuhao-sama, Mistress. The people from Asgard have arrived." She reported to them.
Huo Yun'er coughed and slyly slipped the camera into her spatial ring, giving no chance for anyone else to take it. "Very well, greet and bring them here." She responded calmly.
Huo Yuhao shrugged and went to the living room, where several cups of tea and light snacks were "already." prepared beforehand. He wondered why they went this far but realized Odin was a sly old fox despite his carefree character.
Sitting on the sofa, Huo Yuhao felt someone rubbing his forehead.
"Odin is a cunning and perverted old fox. I wanted to show that my Hao'er is a thousand, if not a million times better than him." Huo Yun'er honestly said while sitting beside him.
"He'd witness the new leader he must serve with reverence."
"I can't let you appear shabbily, don't I?" She smiled, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a nod.
Grayfia Lucifuge emerged from the corridor with some distinguished guests behind her. Despite escorting Gods from Asgard, she didn't show the slightest nervousness and acted like a professional maid.
"The representative of Asgard has arrived," Grayfia announced with her mellow yet calm voice.
"Nice to meet you, Blue-Eyed Dragon God and Heavenly Fox Mistress." An elderly with long, gray hair and a matching beard stepped up. He wears a gold and white monocle over his left eye without any chain.
"Welcome to my humble abode, Odin." Huo Yun'er responded with a soft laugh. "Sit, and let's talk."
Odin nodded and sat on the opposite side of them, followed by a rough-looking man and a beautiful young woman with long, straight silver hair.
Huo Yuhao observed these people meticulously and felt the immense energy from Odin and the rough-looking man. If his guess wasn't poor, this man must be the Thor of this world.
'Not an Aussie, eh.' Huo Yuhao commented inside while staring at the rough-looking man.
Thor is a man in his late thirties with short yet sharp black hair. His face is rough, as expected of a man who likes to fight, coupled with a muscular physique hidden behind that majestic tunic. There are some scars here and there, which seemed to be his trophy.
As they conversed, Huo Yuhao introduced himself as Huo Yun'er partner and asked several things regarding Asgard. He didn't use any honorifics toward Odin and Thor, simply respecting them by speaking casually.
Odin had no problem with this, but Thor seemed unconvinced about something.
"Hahaha~! I see. No wonder the Dragon Nest is so strong. Their leader is such a charismatic young man." Odin slapped his knee, laughing in amusement.
Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "I am lacking in many aspects. However, I learned a lot this year."
"Being humble is nice, but I wish my son learned one or two things from you... I was thinking of handing over my position to either Thor or Vidar, but this brat only knows how to fight."
Odin sighed while glancing at Thor, making him choke on the warm tea.
"What?" Thor sluggishly reacted as if he didn't care about the position.
Odin shook his head and commented, "He has been guarding Yggdrasil for years. Now Loki is running wild because of his absence."
Thor clicked his tongue in annoyance when Odin mentioned "Loki." in his sentence. That guy has always been a problem in their pantheon, spreading chaos like no tomorrow.
Even though Thor has defeated Loki several times, the God of Mischief could run away every single time. Loki's trickery knows no bounds and sometimes fools even the wisest mind.
"Mom, your house is protected, right?" Huo Yuhao suddenly asked while grabbing a new cup of tea.
Huo Yun'er tilted her head in confusion and answered, "Of course. Why did you ask a question with such an obvious answer?"
Huo Yuhao smiled inside and moved his gaze to Thor.
"Thor. We didn't have wine or beer here, but will you accept this cup of tea?"
Odin jerked his knee, nudging his son to respond to Huo Yuhao's offer.
"Okay..." Thor extended his hand.
Yet, an overwhelming pressure suddenly erupted from Huo Yuhao's body and swept over the living room with intense blue light. He just activated his Conqueror Haki to the highest limit and pressured Thor.
BOOM!
Thor frowned and felt his hand shaking from Huo Yuhao's presence alone. His eyes widened in surprise, but this wasn't enough to stop him.
Faint electricity escaped Thor's skin, responding to the Conqueror Haki aggressively.
'Such an intense presence...' Odin thought solemnly.
'This will be the most serious "hand-over cup of tea." I have ever seen in my life.'
Huo Yuhao placed the cup on Thor's hand and said, "Enjoy."
With a grin, Thor gave Huo Yuhao a meaningful look and drank the warm tea till the cup was empty. He even raised his pinky finger, which honestly looks hilarious.
"This is my loss. I'm sorry for underestimating you, Blue-Eyed Dragon God. You're a real warrior and man." He said with an excited tone. His fighting spirit is apparent now.
Huo Yuhao shrugged and returned, "Yuhao is fine."
"Since we are under the same banner, you don't have to use a formal title like that."
"Guhahahaha!" Odin couldn't hold his laughter at this scene. "Yes, this is it."
"Youngsters should be hot-blooded and filled with passion."
"Not the perverted passion..." The young woman Odin brought commented.
Odin ignored the comment and said, "This is why you have been single since birth, Rossweisse."
"Uwaaah!"
Rossweisse cried when hearing Odin's horrible line and complained, "It's your fault, Odin-sama. You're the one who played around without doing your job."
"I-I'm the one who stayed late and finished them up, Uwaaa!"
"Here." Huo Yuhao gave Rossweisse a handkerchief.
"T-Thank you." Rossweisse sobbed while cleaning tears from her face, blushing when realizing the person who helped her.
'Oho~! I could use this. Deepening the relationship between Rossweisse and Blue-Eyed Dragon God doesn't sound bad.' Odin thought to himself.
'The problem is...'
Odin could feel the cold gaze that sent a shiver down his spine from Huo Yun'er. Yep, this ship is not going to sail soon.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes briefly and pondered Loki's problem that Odin had. Killing the God of Mischief would be the obvious solution, but what Loki wanted was to start Ragnarok.
He knew this because he finished High School DxD's Anime.
"You're coming here not just for tea, right?" He suddenly spouted, making a wry chuckle come from Odin's mouth.
"Not only humble, but you're also sharp as well." Odin leaned on the sofa comfortably. "Let's just say that since your second appearance, the world of gods has become more hectic than usual."
"Killing Hades is a bigger deal than you realized."
"Gods are arrogant. We felt threatened by your presence overall, and your Dragon Nest makes it worse for some gods out there."
"Evil Gods are brewing their plan to fight you currently. Loki is one of them. As the chief of the Norse Faction, I requested you to kill Loki permanently from existence." He lastly added, which left Grayfia and Rossweisse speechless on the side.
That's such a bold request.
Huo Yun'er glanced at her son, waiting for his reply.
If it's Huo Yuhao, then he wouldn't refuse this request.
"Consider it done." Huo Yuhao confidently responded, hearing Evo's notification about a new quest.
