Seems like you were dragged into something serious. No. Looks like it’s nothing new to your group. Your group is famous for receiving assaults like that.”
Buchou walks towards Ajuka-sama. “There is something I would like Ajuka-sama to have a look at.”
Buchou tries to take out Ise-kun’s evil pieces from her pocket. “Hou, something you want me to see? ---But looks like that will have to happen afterwards.”
Ajuka-sama signals Buchou to stop with his hands and then looks at the end of the garden. “Looks like we have guests besides you.”
With Maou-sama’s words, we also realised their presence as well. People besides us were present in this garden. The ones that appeared from the darkness are……Devils just like us. “Never thought you would be in a place like this in the human world, the impostor Maou, Ajuka.”
…..There are several men who have a tremendous amount of aura. I can sense that they have the powers of High-class Devils or higher. They are quite skilled. I also know who they are because they called Ajuka Beelzebub-sama an “imposter Maou”. Ajuka Beelzebub-sama makes a bitter smile. “I think it’s the charm of the old-maou faction that it is easy to tell who you are just by hearing you speak once.”
“I’m also here.”
I also heard a familiar voice from the darkness. The one who also appeared was the white-haired youth, Siegfried. Khaos Brigade. He took a glance at us and looked at Maou-sama once again. …..Seeing that, there is something coming from within my body…… I’m trying hard to keep that down. …..Not yet. I still can’t. I will release it afterwards. “……The ones who killed “him”……”
Akeno-san who is behind me has her killing intent even higher. Dangerous aura is coming out of her body. Her will to fight rose after knowing who the enemy is. Of course. They are basically the ones who we have to seek revenge against for Ise-kun. The girls in the Gremory group won’t be dispirited and have their intent to kill down, when the ones who are responsible are right in front of them. Only Asia-san has tears flowing out with regrets saying “Why did Ise-san have to get involved in the quarrel between the Underworld governments…..?”. ….Asia-san. I think he would jump into dangerous places if he finds out that the ones he loves and the children of the Underworld are in danger. That is the Sekiryuutei, Hyoudou Issei. …..But this doesn’t match up. Weren’t the Old-Maou faction and The Hero-faction supposed to be enemies? I am suspicious of this pairing. “First time meeting you Ajuka Beelzebub. I’m Siegfried from the Hero-faction. And these gentlemen here are the staff from the previous Maou faction who are cooperating with the Hero-faction.”
Ajuka Beelzebub-sama gets greeted by Siegfried. …….So there are Old-Maou faction members who allied with the Hero-faction huh. It really is a complicated organisation. “I know you. You are a former warrior from the Church, correct Siegfried-kun? You had your name at the top ranking. You were a threat to us before the alliance of the three big powers. If I remember correctly your nickname is Chaos-edge Sieg. ---So what business do you have with me? I already have guests as you can see. I will hear your business then.”
Maou-sama questions quietly while folding his hands on the table. ……Apart from Siegfried, the Devils from the Old-Maou factions are flowing with an aura of hostility. They are planning to attack if Ajuka Beelzebub-sama says a single word that would disturb them. Though this person is still behaving with elegance when he understands the current situation. This person has a different confidence from Sirzechs-sama. “It’s about the thing we asked you about before. ---How about we make an alliance, Ajuka Beelzebub.”
-! All of us here became shocked! ……I never expected the terrorists would come and ask for an alliance with the current Beelzebub. Siegfried continues on. “Even though you are part of the Yondai-Maou, you have a different ideology compared to Sirzechs Lucifer and also have your own authority. And your research relating to abnormal things surpasses others. I hear that you can gather the same number of people as the ones that cooperate with Sirzechs.”
I have also heard those rumours. The current Maou government is split into 4 groups, and each group is maintained by faction members of each Maou. The factions with most authority within the four groups are Sirzechs-sama’s faction and Ajuka-sama’s faction. Each faction is cooperating now to maintain the current government, but for simple matters they are against each other and it comes up in the news. From the broadcasts, they have mainly different views on technology organisation. Hearing Siegfried, Ajuka Beelzebub-sama makes a sigh. “I’m certainly a Maou, and I move with my personal thoughts. I have thrown away Sirzechs' requests numerous times. From the sides, it might look like I’m against Sirzechs' ideals. The “Game” I’m currently working on is also part of my hobby.”
Siegfried makes a bitter smile at his words. “We got in serious trouble because of those hobbies.”
…..Judging from their conversation, the game created by Ajuka Beelzebub-sama is interfering with “Khaos Brigade’s” actions……? “I can say the same to you.”
When Maou-sama said that, Siegfried shrugs his shoulders. “What attracts us the most about you is that you are the only Devil who could compete against “that” Sirzechs Lucifer. I hear that you and Sirzechs Lucifer are irregular Devils who are envied greatly and feared by the descendants of previous Maou. If one of you joins us, then we can’t ask for anymore man power than that.”
Hearing Siegfried’s opinion, Maou-sama put his hand under his chin. He seemed a bit interested. “I see. It might be interesting if I become a terrorist and oppose Sirzechs. Seeing his shocked face might be worth it.”
…..Is he serious? I can’t tell what his intentions are…. But he looks very pleased. “We will also give you the information and research reports to you as well. For someone like yourself who only makes new things, I can guarantee that this report will be something very worth your while.”
Ajuka Beelzebub-sama nods even more at Siegfried’s sweet words. “I see. The information and research reports “Khaos Brigade” has. Yes, it certainly does seem charming.”
I couldn’t tell whether he was joking or being serious........ Ajuka Beelzebub-sama closed his eyes once and then opened them, then he clearly said. “---But I don’t need it. To me, the alliance with you does seem appealing, but it’s something I have to decline.”
Siegfried didn’t change his expression even though he was declined. …..Though the Devils around him make their killing intent even higher. Siegfried asks. “I want to ask you the reason in detail, but I will make it simple. –Why not?”
“The reason why I can concentrate on my hobbies is because Sirzechs considers all of my will as well. He…. No. I have had a long relationship with him. He’s the only one who I can call my friend.
