Naturally, a certain amount of strength was necessary for protecting the Princess and us servants. “Yes. Please follow me.”
Thus, we followed behind the bodyguard and moved to the underground subway train. “Rias-samaaaaaaaa!”
She was very popular among men too. Buchou waved her hand at a group of men while giving a strained smile. As I thought, my master is amazing! After transferring from the subway, we were jolted around for another five minutes. When we arrived—it was at a platform in the basement of the biggest building within the city. The meeting place for the gathering of young devils, old families, and high-class big-shots was in this building. The bodyguards accompanied us until we reached the elevator, and then stood waiting on standby. We boarded the elevator from the basement with Buchou in the lead. It was a spacious elevator. “Everyone, I’ll say it one more time. No matter what happens, stay in a calm state of mind. No matter what is said, don’t start a fight. —The people above are our future rivals. We mustn’t show an unsightly form.”
Buchou’s words had more fighting spirit than usual, and were very intense. That was the tone of voice of someone who is prepared for battle and doesn't intend to lose to anyone! Me and Asia swallowed and calmed down our feelings. Alright! Even though I’m tense and nervous, there are other [Pawns] here besides me, so I can’t show an unsightly form! After traveling up to the top floor pretty quickly, the elevator then stopped at last and the door opened. When we took a step outside, we found ourselves in a wide hall. When we got out from the elevator, a person who seemed to be an employee was there and bowed slightly to Buchou and us. “Welcome, Gremory-sama. Please come this way.”
We followed after the employee. After we went down a certain passage, the figures of several people were in a corner—
“Sairaorg!”
Buchou seemed to know one of those figures. That person also noticed Buchou and approached us. It was a boy. Based on his appearance, he seemed to be about the same age as us. He was a rough yet good-looking guy with short black hair. He had an energetic appearance, and had a very good physique with plenty of muscles. He looked like a pro-wrestler. Rather, was he a devil from a martial artist family? His eyes were strangely purple. Somehow, I felt like his face was similar to Buchou’s—no, to Sirzechs-sama. “It’s been a while, Rias.”
He shook hands with Buchou while smiling. Ooh, was he one of the young devils? As I thought, was he a high-class devil? In any case, even a low-class devil like me could sense the intense surge of magic power coming from him. The devils that seemed to be part of this person’s group turned their gazes towards us…They were all strong-looking devils…
“Yeah, I missed you. It’s good to see that you’re doing well. There are also people here who haven’t met you yet. This person is Sairaorg. He’s my cousin on my mother’s side.”
Buchou introduced this devil to us—Wait, cousin!? Ah, that’s why he somehow seems similar to Sirzechs-sama. “I’m Sairaorg Bael, the next head of the Bael family.”
Bael! Bael, as in the famous “Great King” just after the Maou!? Even the ignorant me knew that! Wait, doesn’t that mean that Buchou’s mother was originally from the Bael family? The family of the “Great King”! The clan of the “Great King”! That’s incredible, oi! The Gremory family has both the Maou and the Great King! Ignoring the shocked me, Buchou resumed the conversation with the next head of the Bael family. “So, what are you doing in a passage like this?”
“Ah, we came out here because it’s so idiotic in there.”
“…Idiotic? Have the other members also arrived then?”
“Agares and Astaroth have already arrived. Zephyrdol came last. Immediately after he arrived, Zephyrdol and Agares started arguing.”
This good-looking guy Sairaorg-san had an expression of complete dislike? Rather, what did they start arguing about? I felt like asking, but—. Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! The building shook greatly and I heard a huge smashing sound! Eeh!? What!? I heard it from somewhere nearby!? Worried by it, Buchou without hesitation went to the big door from which the noise had come from. “Geez, this is why I advised not meeting before the meeting.”
Sighing, Sairaorg-san followed after Buchou along with the people who seemed to be his servants. What!? What was it? We had no choice but to follow behind our master Buchou, though we were plagued by questions and anxiousness. Beyond the opened big door—was a banquet hall that was all smashed up! The tables, chairs and decorations were all destroyed! All the devils were split into two camps who glared at each other at the centre of the room! Weapons had been taken out, and there was an explosive air to the whole situation! One side was made of evil-looking goblin-like devils. The other side seemed to be made of relatively ordinary devils. However, both groups gave off an aura that was full of cold killing intent, to the point of being frightening. Scary! Very scary! What a great quantity and quality of aura they have! It felt far greater than ours! Within my field of vision, a table still safely remained in a corner of the hall and elegant-looking servant devils could be seen. In the centre of these gentle-looking male devils…was a person drinking tea. “Zephyrdol, can you not help starting a fight at a place like this? Do you want to die? Do you really want to die? Even if I kill you, I won’t be blamed by the people on top.”
The two groups glared at each other. A female devil had said it coolly. Saying something fearful like “I’ll kill you”…
Ooh, but what an incredibly beautiful woman she is! Was she about the same age as me? She wore glasses—and her cold and sharp gaze was scary. As I thought, she really is scary. The wave of magic power being emitted from her aura was incredibly chilling…
She wore a blue robe and exposed very little skin. That was slightly regrettable. “Hah! I’ll say it again, bitch! I said that I’d teach you in one shot in a private room with great trouble! The Agares’ onee-san really doesn’t like being without her guards, now does she? Heh, is that why you’re still a virgin who hasn’t let a man come near her till now!? Geez, all the women of families of the Maous stink of virgins and are unbearable! That’s why I said that I’d do a formal opening ceremony for you!”
Uwah…What a vulgar-mouthed onii-chan. He had a black magic-like tattoo on his face, and his green hair was standing on its end. As expected, there were also black magic-like tattoos on his upper body which was bare and uncovered. The ornaments on his pants jingled and clanked. A delinquent, no matter how you look at him, he’s a delinquent! Heh, so there are delinquents in the other world as well. His face…seemed good-looking, but his features were just too dangerous-looking…
…So, what happened between these two? Was the glasses onee-chan sexually harassed by the delinquent onii-chan?
