The Laziest System: Sign-Up System

|3rd POV|

While the people in the arena are screaming in joy and awe, a group of people are meeting in the underground facility hidden in the Kyoto Subway Station near the arena. They are a group of humans and Youkai, who are part of different groups.

The first group is wearing a purple cloak and has a purple snake symbol on their cloak, while the second group is a group of Youkai wearing a dark Miko outfit and a dark Kannushi outfit.

A man wearing the most expensive-looking cloak and robe looks at the woman in front of him before saying.

"What do you want? Do you want to gloat about our failure? If so, you can go away because we are busy at the moment."

"Fufufufu~ We are coming here not to create trouble for your group."

The woman chuckles behind the paper fan in her hand.

"Then what do you want?"

"We are here to ask for cooperation between our two groups."

"What? Is your group finally reaching a dead end?"

After he says that word, the woman stops smiling and looks at him with a serious expression.

"Watch your mouth. We are not reaching a dead end. We already found the real sealing stone of our lady Tamamo."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go and release your lady."

"If it is that easy, we already released her, but it is not as easy as you thought it was. Even though we already knew the general location of the stone, we did not know the specific place it was stored. We have already pinpointed three places where we thought that Old Youkai hid the stone, but we need some kind of distraction before we get into our next stage."

The woman takes a piece of paper and gives it to the man before her.

"These are the places we thought the stones were hidden."

The man takes the paper and reads it for a few seconds. After reading it, he looks at the woman and says.

"All of them are in Nasu Town, the same place where your lady gets sealed, and you only know about their exact location now?"

The woman clicks her tongue in annoyance and says.

"Try to break the magic that bastard Seimei uses, and you can talk. Even after thousands of years, his magic persists, and Old Youkai keeps feeding that barrier to strengthen it. The only reason why we know about those three points is because of someone from the inside of the Nura Clan."

The man blinks for a second before saying.

"If you have a rat inside, why do you not tell them to break the barrier?"

"And let that Old Youkai notice them? No. I don't want that to happen because we still do not yet know the exact location of the stone. After we know about the exact location, we will go all out."

The man leans over his chair and says.

"Then tell me what you want. What do you want from us? The Son of Orochi."

"We want your group to create havoc as much as possible in Nasu while we are checking the location on the map."

"And what is it for us? We are not your subordinates who will obey all your words. Tell me about the payment you are willing to give us for this job."

The woman smiles a little, takes out a purple orb, and then puts it on the table. The man widens his eyes when he sees the orbs.

"This is…"

"Yes. This is a condensed energy of Yamata no Orochi. With this and enough sacrifice, you should be able to create a perfect vessel for your lord and even resurrect him to his half-prime condition."

"Half-prime, not in his prime, huh?"

"What? You want more, huh? Well, too bad. That will be something very expensive, and this mission will not be enough."

The man looks at her for a few seconds before saying.

"Where did you get this? Those blasted Gods and Goddess make sure there is no trace of our lord in the world. We only manage to get a small piece of our lord's presence through sacrifice and experimentation. How do you get this orb?"

The woman gives a smirk and says.

"Recently, our group joined up with a large organization. An organization backed by a being that is even more powerful than those pathetic Gods and Goddess in Takamagahara."

"Organization? You? Joining an organization? Are you serious? Are you joking with me?"

The woman shakes her head and says.

"No. I am not. They are the ones creating that orb in front of you. They can access the afterlife and get the essence of Yamata no Orochi. They have something that lets them do that."

The man frowns a little before saying.

"The only thing that is able to do that is the Sephiroth Graal, but even then, they should not be able to do that."

The woman smirks and says.

"What if I tell you it is a mutated version of Sephiroth Graal?"

The man looks at her for a few seconds and says.

"That makes this possible, then. What do you want?"

The woman smirks and says.

"So, are you interested in this offer, after all?"

"Our group's ultimate goal is to resurrect our lord, and we will not stop at anything to be able to achieve that goal."

"Fufufu~ What a good goal to have."

"Just get to the point, woman. I start to get annoyed."

"Fufufu~ Of course. Let's get to the point then. First thing first, I want you guys to release the puppet vessel for your lord into the masses. How much do you have?"

"Four at the moment."

"Then I want you to release it all. In compensation, I will give you the ingredients to create more puppets for your lord. After releasing them into the masses, I also need your team to help my group kill the guard that is blocking our way when we are checking all those three places."

The man looks at her for a few seconds before saying.

"Before I agree with this, I have one condition you need to fulfill."

"What is it?"

"What is the name of this organization?"

"Fufufu~ You interested in the group that we joined, huh?"

"Just give me the name, woman."

"Fufufufu~ Fine. The name of the organization is Khaos Brigade."
