DxD: The Plunder System Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Ice cream

<<Copy Wheel Eye (A+): Allows the user to replicate the precise movements of any opponent, granted they possess the necessary elemental abilities or tools to imitate the targeted power.>>


<<Note: User cannot copy beings that possess elements that are not in his arsenal. Additionally, copying skills requires an unobstructed vision and and if the user's stamina falls below a certain threshold, he will be unable to replicate skills.>>


“Despite the restrictions, I think the skill can be considered an S grade, but I am not the one that decides the ratings, so it is what it is." Kento mused as he looked at the rating.


There were only a few hours before he had to go to take Amaterasu’s test and he was a little worried that the test might be something that might pose a challenge to him.


But for now, he was out playing with Kunou.


Yasaka had to go out for a meeting and while she was going to leave Kunou with her servants, Kento decided to pitch in.


"It's probably a good idea to chill out the day before a test, especially if it's going to be a fight. Going all out during training might end up totally draining me or, even worse, getting me injured."


He was of the belief that preparations had to be completed a few days before a test, while last moment revision was good it didn’t work for physical tests.


“I-I will not fall, will I, big brother Kento?” Kunou asked nervously as she gripped onto Kento tightly.


Kento carefully placed his hand over her head, as he floated while lifting her with his other arm.


“You enjoy the view and I’ll make sure that you don’t fall, okay?”


Kunou was a little scared but she nodded nonetheless. Seeing this, Kento made sure not to fly very fast and rather float through the sky.


He had already teleported to one of the best sightseeing places in Japan, Mt. Yoshino, the most colorful mountain that he had ever laid eyes upon.


The mountain was covered with a multitude of plants and trees of varying colors, the simple difference in color gave the place an artistic look that was possibly one of the most gorgeous natural sights out there.


And it was not just Kento that felt the beauty of the place, Kunou who had previously been terrified of the height was now mesmerized by the beauty of Mt. Yoshino.


"It is so pretty!" She gasped in excitement which made Kento happy.


"Have you been here before?" He asked which made the little Kitsune shake her head.


"I am not allowed to go out much and even when I am allowed to do so, it is under the supervision of the guards."


Many people often forget because of Kunou's intellect and way of talking that she is still only a child and it is because of her position that she needs to act mature even as a kid.


But even she deserves to be happy and enjoy things like every kid should, so he decided to make her day great while also taking the day off for himself.


"Well… do you like ice cream?" 


This question made her ears perk up as a blush appeared on her face. She didn't want to act like a child, but she couldn't help but nod aggressively when Kento asked about ice cream.


'Well rarely does anyone hate ice cream.'


Feeling glad that she liked ice cream, he asked, "Which flavor would you like to try?"


This surprisingly had her confused, "I… only had vanilla before…"


She sounded a little downcasted as she said that, "Are there more flavors?"


Kento was baffled by the question, 'Sometimes being born with such authority and power can take away the basic happiness.'


He gave the girl a caring smile, "Well since you haven't tried that many flavors, why don't we buy all the flavors that you want to try?"


Kunou was stunned hearing this, "A-Am I allowed to do that?"


'As a noble she has to follow a lot of rules…'


But today, she was free and could enjoy as much as she wanted so Kento gave her a strong nod.


"Of course!" He smiled, "You are free to do anything you want today, and that also includes buying ice creams."


After all, everyone deserved ice cream.


And what is life without chocolate ice cream?


…

…


While Kento was spending his time with Kunou, the being who was the second protagonist of the test was lost in her thoughts.


"My lady, Lord Kagetsuchi's trial rooms have been opened."


A loyal servant said as he bowed his head, not daring to look at the goddess.


Not simply because of fear or respect, but to not be enchanted by her beauty.


As the woman in front of him was nothing less than mesmerizing.


Among her loyal servants, one wrote a piece about her beauty.


`From any spectator's viewpoint, goddess Amaterasu's beauty exuded an ethereal glow, captivating all who beheld her. Her presence commanded attention, akin to the warm embrace of the sun on a clear summer's day.`


`Her divine form emanated a serene elegance, every movement a graceful dance. Her flawless complexion, reminiscent of porcelain, was adorned with a delicate radiance that seemed to emanate from within. Her eyes, like pools of celestial light, held a depth that reflected wisdom and ancient knowledge.`


`Amaterasu's flowing locks of hair cascaded like strands of liquid gold, shimmering with every subtle turn of her head. They framed her face, emphasizing her symmetrical features and delicate contours. Her softly curved lips possessed a gentle allure, hinting at the warmth and kindness that resided within her divine being.`


`Her attire, resplendent and intricately designed, further accentuated her beauty. She donned garments that seemed to embody the essence of nature itself, adorned with vibrant hues reminiscent of blooming flora and the radiant colors of the heavens. Her regal presence was enhanced by accessories that glistened like stars, each one a testament to her celestial status.`


`As a spectator, witnessing the beauty of goddess Amaterasu was an awe-inspiring experience, leaving one in a state of admiration and reverence. She embodied a timeless grace that transcended mortal limitations, captivating the hearts and souls of those fortunate enough to behold her divine splendor.`


And the very same goddess was now obsessed with a certain boy.


She turned around to look at the servant, "Soon… We will know if we have found our Champion or if it was all a mistake."


And she really hoped that it was the former.

[[A/N: To make up for the short length of today's chapter, I will post two chapters in the next update. 


As for that poetic description, it was written by one of my patrons/discord contacts who asked if I could add it. 


So, I did.


P.S: I will post 2-3 chapters of the new DC story today, and just so you know: It will have a cameo of Kento and Marcellus (Marvel story protag).]]
