"DXD: Infinite Loot System"Chapter 330: The Tragic Valkyrie
After checking in with Rias and the others—apparently, they were still deep in the lingerie section—Tenra and Ophis sipped their sodas and headed off to meet up.
Passing a clothing store, Tenra caught sight of a crowd gathered at the entrance. The atmosphere was thick with tension, eyes sharp and movements bristling with a kind of murderous intent.
No exaggeration—it really was murderous intent. The crowd was made up entirely of women, most of them in the "mom squad" age bracket.
"Flash sale! Flash sale!"
"Attention, everyone! It starts now!"
"Charge!!!"
"Let go! I grabbed this first!"
"No way! I was here first!"
The clerk's voice echoed through the speakers, and in the next instant, the mom squad surged into the store like Olympic sprinters, shouting and wrestling over every discounted item. The chaos was every bit as intense as any battle Tenra had ever fought.
What a force of nature. Tenra could only watch, amused, as he prepared to slip away with Ophis—until he spotted a familiar figure right in the thick of it.
Rossweisse.
"I got this first! Over my dead body!"
"I live for days like this! I'm not losing!"
Rossweisse was locked in a death grip with a veteran mom, both clutching the same sweatshirt, eyes blazing with seriousness.
Tenra blinked, wondering if he was hallucinating. Even during the worst fights with Khaos Brigade, Rossweisse had never looked this desperate or determined.
"Kids these days… so fierce," the mom muttered, wilting under Rossweisse's intensity before finally letting go.
Rossweisse beamed with triumph—until she saw that half the sale items were already gone. With a dramatic cry, she dove back into the fray.
Within minutes, the sale racks were stripped bare. Rossweisse emerged victorious, arms loaded with bargains, the mom squad trailing behind her, all equally satisfied with their loot.
"Oh? Tenra Kamiyo, Ophis—what are you two doing here?"
Finally noticing them, Rossweisse hurried over.
"We're on our way to meet up with Rias and the rest," Tenra explained. But seeing Rossweisse cradle her haul like treasure, he couldn't help sighing.
"Rossweisse, you're still young. You should treat yourself once in a while—clothes, makeup, whatever. If money's tight, I can spot you."
He meant well, but Rossweisse bristled instantly, cheeks puffed out in indignation.
"That's out of the question! How could I waste money on frivolous things? If you don't learn to be frugal now, you'll regret it later!"
"And don't even start with charity! I can take care of myself just fine!"
Tenra raised his hands in surrender. "My bad, my bad. Please forgive my ignorance, O mighty Valkyrie."
Hopeless. Truly hopeless. Tenra had learned his lesson—never offer Rossweisse financial support unless you want a lecture.
"Hmph! Since you apologized, I'll let it slide this time."
"And you know, Tenra—same goes for you and Rias and all the rest. You never pay attention to these things. Sure, the Phoenix and Gremory families are loaded, but wasting money is shameful. Spend it on something meaningful!"
"And another thing—"
Here we go. Tenra's mind filled with exasperated squiggles as Rossweisse launched into a full-blown rant.
"Ah! The next flash sale's starting!"
"Duty calls—see you, Tenra!" Rossweisse dashed off mid-lecture, disappearing into the crowd.
Tenra finally exhaled, feeling like he'd just dodged a bullet.
"Penny-pincher. Valkyrie," Ophis remarked from his shoulders.
Tenra snorted. Even the goddess couldn't help but roast her.
"Can't blame her, really. Growing up in the harsh north does things to a person…" Tenra offered a half-hearted defense.
Sure, Rossweisse's thriftiness bordered on legendary, but as a wife candidate, her homemaking skills were top-tier. Still, it was a shame—a young, beautiful Valkyrie always dressed in bargain-bin sweats was a tragic waste of potential.
Direct support was out of the question; it'd just trigger another round of lectures and hurt her pride. Maybe Rias could sneak some makeup and clothes into her work benefits later—Rossweisse couldn't refuse if it was official.
With that thought, Tenra carried Ophis toward the lingerie shop to regroup with the girls.
The second floor's lingerie shop was packed to the rafters—Rias, Akeno, Yubelluna, Sona, and the whole crew, plus a swarm of other female customers.
As the lone guy entering this sacred zone, Tenra instantly became the center of attention. Normally, he'd be greeted with suspicion or outright hostility, but this was a face-driven world. Most women stared at him, stunned, before blushing inexplicably.
"Perfect timing! Let's pick out some lingerie for Ophis," Rias said, approaching with Akeno. Tenra handed Ophis over.
"Ophis, what kind of underwear do you want?"
"I don't know."
"Then pick a color. What do you like?"
"Black."
"Figures. Suits you perfectly. How about this one? Though… the size looks a bit big."
"Should I make my chest bigger? It feels empty."
"Uh, you can change your size whenever you want, but let's not. Your current height fits this best."
"Then forget it."
Tenra watched Rias and Akeno debate Ophis's sizing with barely restrained laughter, then wandered around to check on the others.
Asia's picks? Pure white, all the way—classic saintly innocence.
Xenovia's choices? Wild, bold, barely-there styles. Thanks to a certain someone's influence, the once pure Holy Sword wielder had gone full rebel.
Irina, meanwhile, was sneaking bear-print panties into her pile—peak tsundere behavior.
The rest of the girls each gravitated toward their own favorites. The selection was a riot of colors and styles.
But what really caught Tenra's eye was Raynare, the twisted fallen angel.
Not lewd? Not interested. Not sexy? Hard pass. If it couldn't excite her master, she wasn't buying it.
Watching Raynare's selections, Tenra couldn't help licking his lips. Tonight was going to be good.
"Hmm?" he murmured, noticing Yubelluna off to the side, deep in conversation with a shop clerk.
Curiosity piqued, Tenra wandered over…
