“There are many of those who have high expectations of Millicas. Since his birth is extremely special.”
Yes, Millicas-sama is the son born of the strongest Maou, Sirzechs Lucifer and the strongest queen, Grayfia Lucifugus. Adding the fact about the extreme level of talent within him, it seems there are adults who are keeping their eyes on him as a candidate for a future Maou already. There is even a “Millicas faction” among the politicians, who are supporting Sirzechs-sama and many Devils are keeping their eyes on this boy’s future. Even though this boy is already thinking of his own future at this stage himself, the politics also gets caught in it…..
Rias also feels proud of her birth but she couldn’t discard her dreams. The dream of marrying the man she falls in love with, but she had a fiancé….. That troubled her. And adults are trying to make this boy's burden something even greater than that. ….One day there will be a time when he will understand, where he is standing. I think he would feel proud but also struggle to go forward. Those are High-class Devils…..the destinies of those with powerful parents. “I understand, Millica--”
I stopped my words there. ……That’s because I just felt a chill. Someone is looking at me, I could 'feel' their gaze and I can sense a strong feeling, being directed at me….. Even if I look around, there is no one in sight. “………. ?”
Xenovia probably felt something too, so she looked around the place as well. Ophis is also looking around. Asia, Millicas-sama and Xenovia’s client haven’t realised it, but at least we did. ……Someone is looking at me from somewhere far away. That’s how it felt. “Xenovia! Asia-san! I brought some sports drinks from the convenience store!”
The one who came saying that while carrying a bag in one of her hands was Irina. Sometimes Irina observes Asia and Xenovia’s jobs where she doesn’t hinder them, just like Millicas-sama and I are doing now. Of course it would be heresy for an Angel to directly help a Devil. That’s why she is only observing. Well, there are times where she brings refreshments just as she is doing now……. It seems that is on the border line of being safe. A Devil like myself doesn't understand that borderline they have. “Oh, the refreshments from the 'Self-proclaimed Angel' have arrived.”
“I’m not self-proclaimed! I am a real one!”
Irina puffed her cheeks at Xenovia’s words. Hahaha, seriously the combination of Xenovia and Irina does lighten up the atmosphere. And if Asia joins them, it gets even lighter. While feeling the uneasy presence, Millicas-sama’s observation for that day ended. The next day, we were gathered in the training room located in the basement of the Hyoudou residence. I wore the Boosted Gear Scale Mail, Kiba gripped a sword and Gasper was on standby behind us. The one we, the Gremory boys, will be facing is…..Millicas-sama! Millicas-sama who has changed into a jersey stands across from us with a brave expression, despite being a child. Yes, on this day, what we planned to get closer to Millicas-sama is….a mock battle. This was Rias’ idea. “Millicas, since this is a good opportunity do you want to spar with the boys?”
Hearing that, Millicas-sama responds energetically by saying “Yes! Please allow me!”. It seems Millicas-sama has an interest in the “guts”, that the boys of the Gremory Group have, and he has a good impression of Sairaorg-san’s motto “High-class Devil who trains”. Rias herself is in a corner of the training room, with the rest of the Occult research club girls and Ophis. They will be watching our mock battle. The demonic sword Kiba is holding, is an imitation sword which has no blade. He must have thought that it would be dangerous to use any type of sword, holy sword, or holy demonic sword, with real blades on them. I’m also in my armoured state. I thought of fighting him with only my gauntlet, but after Rias told me “You should wear your armour”, I ended up in this form. …….Was she trying to please Millicas-sama by having him take on the legendary Heavenly Dragon, aka the Sekiryuutei? Gasper is behind us as a support member while not trembling, despite having a nervous expression. “I…I will do my best~!”
Oh, do your best, Gasper! Since our opponent is a kid, don’t show him your weak side, okay? “Then let the mock battle begin!”
With Akeno-san’s signal, the mock battle started! Both Kiba and I didn’t move, we are waiting for Millicas-sama to make his move. There’s no way I can get serious. After all we are far stronger than he is. This isn’t like a welcoming party for him, but taking on Millicas-sama while going easy on him, until he is satisfied, might be what I have to do. Millicas-sama makes his move as those thoughts crossed my mind. “Here I come! Please take care of me!”
He sprints from his position! I was speechless after seeing Millicas-sama make his move. --He’s fast! He came with speed which isn’t that of a child! After covering his hand in red aura, he shoots the demonic power at me after making a few feints! The attack which was released by the boy, is the same power of destruction that his father and aunt possess! ……….I can’t believe it. His demonic power is more powerful than I thought! I evaded the demonic power which is coming at me, leaving Kiba in it's path. Kiba barely dodged it and blocks it with his demonic sword…..
BASHU! Along with the sound of an object being grazed, the edge of Kiba’s demonic sword…..has been eliminated! “--!”
Kiba is shocked at this! I’m also shocked deeply from my heart! That attack had quite a huge amount of aura! Kiba’s demonic sword wasn’t made that strong because it was for use in a mock battle….. But for him to be able to destroy it! “Hey, he’s quite the thing.”
“Y..Yeah! I’m also surprised!”
“……It’s the exact same demonic-power as Onee-sama’s!”
Xenovia, Irina, and Asia were shocked at the boy’s demonic power. “The flow of his aura was smooth. That’s definitely not something that he should be capable of at his age.”
“…….To eliminate Yuuto-senpai’s sword without a trace.”
“…….I did hear rumours about it, but seeing it with my own eyes. I can sense strongly that he is the son of that Sirzechs-sama and Grayfia-sama.”
Rossweisse-san, Koneko-chan, and Ravel also changed their opinions. All the female members of the Occult Research Club besides Rias and Akeno-san were shocked at this scene. “Aye!”
Millicas-sama shortens the distance, while we were shocked and shoots out his demonic power! This time he shot the demonic power like a shotgun! Many bullets of power of destruction come at us! You get erased by the power of destruction just by touching it. It has an unimaginable characteristic which is very hard to block against. Rias’ demonic power is also deadly if it hits. Although she ends up encountering those she can’t directly hit with it……
The best way to counter the power of destruction is not blocking it directly, but killing it off with our own attack! I created a scatter type dragon-shot and shot it forward.
