The government official passes his role to Saji and we proceeded into the town. Crops, windmills, and European-style houses made from rocks. There isn’t even a single clattering noise you often hear in cities which shows how peaceful this town is. Saji then says. “Nice place, isn’t it? A country town of the Underworld! Though it doesn’t mean it isn’t famous at all. I heard there will be presentations and such at this town in order to allow the Magician’s assembly to commence. Apparently the first mayor of this town liked doing these sort of assemblies so this place turned into a place which is known to a certain group of people. Also, you can see the huge stage for the Rating Game, Agreas, nearby, so you can call this environment as the most suited place you can come up with.”
Saji’s voice is full of energy. I guess he likes this town. It certainly is a good town. It doesn’t seem like there will be any quarrels since it’s so peaceful. “I sure would like to do cropping in a place like this.”
Asia looks around the town while she has her eyes sparkling. One of Asia’s dream is to live in a countryside. Lately even I’m thinking of living in a town like this while doing cropping with Asia. Xenovia then continues. “I also think it would be wonderful to do cropping with Asia. Our lives as Devils will be long. Maybe forgetting about being a swordswoman for once and do farming is a good idea. I’m sure Ise would say he’s going to live with Asia, so there won’t be any loss for me to tag along.”
So she’s saying that while having me follow Asia! Well, I do want to live with Asia in the countryside! Irina also says it while she looks up the sky. “Maybe I should also live in the countryside in the future? But it does seem hard for an Angel to live in the Underworld, so I guess it will interesting to help Ise-kun and Asia-san with farming when I receive a job to come to the Underworld.”
Looks like the Church-trio are already fascinated with this country town. Rias and Akeno-san are chuckling. “All of you, it is far too early to think about what you will do once you retire.”
Seriously, it really is. There’s no point to discuss about something which will happen who knows when. I’m sure we started to feel like this due to having been captivated with this scenery. After a while following Saji and talking about such things, a newly constructed building appears at a southern part of the town. All of us are in shock at seeing that building. —That’s because a school which looks identical is built there. It looks a bit smaller than Kuou academy size-wise, but judging from the building which seems to be a gymnasium and also the location of the sportsground, the location of facilities seems to be based off our school. On the gate of the school is a nameplate which has the words “Auros Academy” written on it in Devils symbols. So they used this town’s name for the school. I guess it’s an appropriate name. I’m sure noisy people won’t be quiet if they used the name of either Bael or Sitri. We go through the school gate and then into the main building. At the sportsground, there are already kids that are doing things like running and also competing by using their demonic-powers. Looking carefully, I can see the members of the Sitri group and the Bael group that are looking after the kids. Those kids must be participants of the experience day. When we enter the main building, Sona-kaichou welcomes us at the entrance. Saji then tells Kaichou. “Kaichou, I have brought the members of the Occult Research Club.”
“Thank you, Saji. Please head to the location you are in charge of.”
Hearing that, Saji leaves here quickly as he says “Later” and waves his hand to us. We look around the interior of this building. It sure does smell new. It proves that it was just made. I can see so many aspects which are based on Kuou academy such as the entrance and the interior of this building. Even though this is a new place to us, I can only think it’s something we have seen so many times. Rias offers her hand with a smile and then says;
“Let me say this again, congratulations, Sona.”
Kaichou also smiles as she shakes Buchou’s hand. “Thank you, Rias. This is still only the first school and the opening of this school is quite far away, though we were able to organise the experience day.”
Sona-kaichou says it as she stretches her hand towards the interior of the building. “Now then, let me show you the inside.”
We then walked within the school interior as Kaichou leads us. The children and their parents come and leave the corridor. From outside the classroom I can see the person from the Bael group who is acting as a lecturer and is teaching the kids something. The kids—are listening to their lecture while they put on a serious face. Their parents that are watching over them from the back of the classroom also have serious expressions. Either the Bael group member or the special lecturer that were called by Sona-kaichou are acting as the main lecturer while the Sitri group members are supporting them. Well, the members of the Sitri group are all students after all. They won't be able to go forward as lecturers. Also the voluntary staff that were gathered by Sona-kaichou are moving within the premises as if they were busy. Most of children here are around ten years old. In the human world, they would be around the age where they would be going to junior school. There were also those who are in their mid-10’s, but the kids that seem to be junior pupils are standing out. “How many of them are here?”
Rias asks Kaichou. “This is an experience day where people simply heard from rumours or from other people but the number of them that came here were more than what I imagined. There are most likely 150 children today. If we include their parents and siblings, then the number of people here will exceed 400.”
Wow, it’s so crowded in here! I see, so the number of children exceeded 100 today huh. But for this many people to come when they didn’t even do an official advertisement to gather new students…… They say that the Devil’s children are valuable, so that figure is outstanding if we take that in regards. There sure are many children who can’t attend school even though they want to…… It feels like I saw the dark part of the Devil’s world. There are people who are with their children that become shocked at seeing me and Rias (Oppai Dragon and Switch Princess), but I keep myself down and merely wave my hand at them. I won’t be able to take a look around this school if an autograph and handshaking event starts here. But our reason for helping out here today has to do a lot with that. In other words, you can say that it’s a special visit of the Rias Gremory’s group that is famous in the Underworld, and you can also say that it’s a surprise event that Sona-kaichou organised. I guess it’s more appropriate to call us the special guests.
