Her jobs include de-cursing items and defeating monsters targeting the client. My job is….. I keep getting caught up in strange things, after being summoned by weirdos. I already gave up on the factor I have which attracts weirdos. I already have strong foes coming to me, but I also have weirdos and perverts coming to me as well! That’s why I can’t show Millicas-sama myself working. I can’t allow him to meet with weirdos and perverts! He is Sirzechs-sama’s son! If I introduce him to Mil-tan, as a start, I wouldn’t know what kind of rumours would spread in the Underworld! “Alright! This time it's 10,000 knocks!”
“Yessssss, coooooach~!”
Xenovia who is in really high spirits said something reckless to her client. Is the client, who is exhausted, still okay with continuing since he has a smile? Don’t make him overdo it, okay? It would be a big problem if he died. “So wonderful…. I also want people in my group to enjoy their work like this.”
Millicas-sama said while looking at Xenovia doing her job. Xenovia sure does her job with a good smile. “Millicas-sama, do you have an ideal candidate in your mind for your group?”
When I asked, Millicas-sama shook his head to the sides. “No, that will start from now on. Though I do have a role model which I think is good.”
Well, that’s obvious. Even if he is intelligent and is looking ahead to his future, it certainly would be hard to think of his future group in detail. “So will you be using Rias’ group as a reference after all?”
He has come here because he took an interest in our living style after all, so that’s what I thought. But Millicas-sama tilts his head. It's as though he isn’t saying yes or no. “Everyone in Rias-neesama’s group are wonderful people. Ise-niisama is also amazing and I admire you.”
……He said he admires me! This really makes me happy! “But the group I have as my aim is Tou-sama’s (father) group.”
--! ….I see, so its Sirzechs-sama’s…..his father’s group. Sirzechs Lucifer’s group which is said to be the strongest in the Underworld. During the monster crisis, I also saw them from afar once and I realised that they were a bunch of strong people, with overwhelming aura and atmosphere. I sensed right away that they far surpass our team, which has strong forces but also many weaknesses. I heard that they only gather for a crisis in the Underworld and for political reasons. Even so, I would like to meet them once. The only ones I have met are Grayfia-san and the [Pawn] Kirin, Enku-san. While having my discussion with Millicas-sama, a girl wearing a Gothic lolita costume appears within my sight. It’s Ophis. Yeah, she said she had nothing to do, so she tagged along with us to observe Xenovia’s work. Since Ophis started living in the Hyoudou residence, she has been following behind me and everyone else, showing an interest in what we do. When I’m playing a game she would say that she also wants to play, when Asia is watering the flowers she would help her and when Rias stands in the kitchen, Ophis would stand beside her and watch her cook. Anyway she takes interest in what we are doing. Right now, Ophis is playing catch with Asia’s familiar, Rasse. Ophis throws the ball and Rasse catches it with its mouth splendidly and gives it back to Ophis. Maybe they get along because they are both Dragons, so they often play together. “I shall train Rasse.”
“Gaa~!”
The mini Dragon responds to Ophis. .. Training Rasse!? The former Uroboros-sama herself, is going to train him!? Hey hey hey, what kind of master-student relationship is this! If Ophis becomes his master, wouldn’t that mini Dragon become a really powerful Sprite Dragon in the future!? It might be Ophis’ way of joking, but I started to have a vision that Asia’s familiar will become a future Dragon King. “Maybe Rasse will unexpectedly become an amazing Dragon. Being Ophis’ playing friend is quite the thing you know?”
I said to Asia, who is next to me cheering for Xenovia’s client. “If Ophis-san will teach him, then Rasse-kun will grow into a splendid Dragon!”
What an innocent girl Asia-chan is! If Asia is saying that, then even I think it will turn out like that! “Asia, you might have good ties with Dragons. Not only Rasse, but the one who got along with Ophis first was you, Asia.”
When I said that, Asia starts to wriggle her body while having a red face. “…..That might be true. I also met with Ise-san who is the Sekiryuutei and I was able to get along with you. If I indeed have good connections like that, then I can only give my thanks to the Lord.”
I received embarrassing words from her! “I’m also blessed for meeting Asia! We will always be together from now on as well!”
“Yes! Whether it is a thousand years or ten-thousand years, I will always stay besides you, Ise-san!”
“Alright! Let’s build a plan for thousands of years ahead, with us living together, then!”
“I like Japan, but I also want to live in the Underworld once!”
“OK OK! Once I become independent, I will take you anywhere!”
We get heated up and hugged each other! We then started to dance and spin around! That’s because Asia-chan is so cute! While I was in a happy-mode with Asia, Millicas-sama gave a suspicious look at Ophis. “Who is that girl in the black dress?”
Millicas-sama asked! He was eyeing Ophis with a strange look after all. But we can’t tell him who Ophis is. “Hmm, she is old man Tannin’s relative or something. She is using a technique to transform into a human and is learning about the lifestyle of the human world.”
I made up a story on the spot, to answer his question. I feel sorry for old man Tannin, but please make it so, for this! “So that’s what it was. She is the same as me then!”
Millicas-sama believed in me! I started to feel guilty because of his pure eyes and smile, but this is for the sake of the whole world! Please believe in my lie! Then Millicas-sama pulls my sleeve. “Ise-niisama, please call me Millicas.”
“--! Even if you say that, I feel it is rude....”
I started to feel bewildered at Millicas-sama’s favour. I already feel honoured, for him calling me Ise-niisama, but for me to call his name without “-sama” is…. I called him with “-sama” when we first met, so it's mainly for that reason I continued calling him like that. “I feel a bit lonely for someone who can call Rias-neesama “Rias”, calling my name with a “-sama”….”
Millicas-sama started to look down. ….I see, he also wants me, who calls his aunt he loves so much by her name, to call him by his name. I love Rias and we have a relationship where we have told each other our feelings. She also accepted my feelings. We love each other. Lovers is an embarrassing way to say it and it is suspicious if we are even acting as such. But our feelings reached each other. To me, Rias is an important woman. She also takes importance in me as well. This boy here, knows that. Maybe that is why he also wants me to call his name normally, just how I call Rias’ name. If I think about it, Rias once told me.
