The ones that had been abducted for this incident all researched about the “number of the beast” by using the number “616”.] The different approach! So there’s such a thing…… And one of the people who was researching that different approach is Rossweisse-san. Sensei continues while he strokes his chin. [The majority of the researchers don’t see the number “616” as the correct way. Even we, the Grigori, thought so. ……But seeing those guys make their move, did the God from the Bible make his seals against 666 by using the number “616”……?] Sensei says that as if he’s talking to himself. Rather than explaining it to us, it seems like he’s speaking while he is getting shocked at his own hypothesis. Maybe he realised that he'd spoken all of that out loud, so after he makes a cough, he says to Rossweisse-san. [Alright, first of all, Rossweisse. Write everything you remember about the essay you wrote when you were a student on a piece of paper and send it here. I will check it here to see how much of it is related to 666.] “……I have already written it since a while ago.”
Rossweisse-san puts a pile of reports which have difficult looking magic-symbols and formulas written on them on a small teleportation magic-circle and then sends them away. From the communication-type magic-circle, the reports appear within Azazel-sensei’s hand along with a flash. Looks like the transfer was a success. Sensei says it to Rossweisse-san after he received the reports. [But man, you sure are amazing. For you to research about the same thing as your grandmother naturally. I guess families are alike.] —! I then realise one of the reason why Rossweisse-san has a complicated expression for the first time after hearing Sensei’s words. The similarity between the Magicians that are being targeted for this incident is—the fact that they have been researching about 666. Likewise for the ones that will be gathering in the assembly which will take place in the Underworld. In other words, Rossweisse-san’s grandmother has also been……researching about 666. “…………”
That night, Rossweisse-san continued to put on a difficult looking expression and she never spoke after that. The “Rating Game school anyone can attend” which was the dream of the Sitri group, more specifically Sona-kaichou’s, was unexpectedly located within the Agares’s territory. Normally, it wouldn’t have been weird for the school to be built in the Sitri’s territory, which belongs to the next heiress of the House of Sitri who was hoping for this to happen, but political issues had to get involved here too. Rather, it turned into quite a complicated situation. Maybe the reason for Sona-kaichou building this school may have a bit of Serafall Leviathan-sama’s intention who is her sister? —Apparently there are those who are saying such things. Obviously Leviathan-sama who is all supportive of Sona-kaichou was being positive about the establishment of this school. However, this action will stimulate the politicians, the higher-ups with peerage that had been taking importance of the old bloodline. From their eyes, a “Rating Game school where anyone can enrol regardless of their rank” will be something which they would not like. Obviously there will be opinion and pressure which would be against this. If Leviathan-sama becomes stubborn and argues back at them, then it won’t be weird if they take her action as “Leviathan’s political action”. The reason why Rias, the Gremory, couldn’t intervene in this matter was due to this reason. If the higher up takes this as the intention of the Gremory, in other words Sirzechs-sama, then they are assuming that the chances of dispute between the factions of Four Great Maou may get heated up. In the end, Rias……could only help to the degree where she won’t get much attention. I heard that Sona-kaichou seriously thought about abandoning this dreams of hers. Apparently doing something which would result in affecting her sister’s politic standing is something the next heiress of the House of Sitri shouldn’t do and is considered as a foolish act. However, a saviour appeared. “If that’s the case, we will become the middleman and build the school within our territory and do this seriously while paying attention to the higher-ups.”
—And the one who called out to them was the current Head of the House of Agares. To be expected from the person who has the job of the middleman. The trust the politicians from each of the Maou’s faction has towards the Arch Duke Agares is so great. He attained the support of the House of the Great King that stands at the top in terms of bloodline and built the first “Rating Game School anyone can attend to”. That’s why we, the ORC (Gremory group + Irina + Ravel), are going to the Underworld to help out for the school experience day. We teleported several times after arriving at the Gremory castle and step foot into the Agares’s territory. It’s scheduled for us to help out for today and tomorrow so we will be staying over. The place where the school was built is very close to the sky city Agreas which was the place where the Gremory group and the Bael group had the Rating Game. Auros—that’s the name of the town. I hear it is one of the places which represents the Agares’s territory which is said to have the best agricultural products in the Underworld. There are many civilians that make their living mainly by working as farmers, but the population over here isn’t that high. It won’t be weird for this town to develop by turning into a sightseeing location for tourists since it’s close to the sky city Agreas, which is the holy land for the Rating Game. But sadly, the town which acts as the sightseeing spot is located at the opposite side of this place while the sky town of Agreas is located between the two towns. Also, since tourists that come to see Agreas will spend their time enjoying the sky city, I hear that they rarely come down to the towns nearby. In other words, this town is a quiet and peaceful place even though it’s close to the famous sky city. The place we teleported to is the uppermost floor of the watchtower which is positioned at the centre of the town. The fields that produce different crops are spread around the town and you can also see lots of windmills that stand out. This place doesn’t stand out but it’s a peaceful and a quiet place. I guess this town has a good environment for building a school. The government official of this town who was waiting for us at front of the magic-circle takes us down the watchtower. The one who is waiting for us down the tower is—
“Hey, Hyoudou.”
It’s Saji. It would seem normal for the town’s mayor to welcome us if Rias, who is a princess of Gremory, is to come to this town. Unfortunately, the mayor went to the Magician’s assembly that was mentioned before so he couldn’t come here. Rias also hasn’t come here for a public business, so she told the town mayor that “We don’t need a formal welcome”.
