9 Leaving the nest
Now that I have this ring. I can head off to Lilith to get my Evil pieces.
This kind of sigil ring is given to those directly related to the first and or current head of clan. Of course, it comes with special privileges such as getting official processes done quicker.
It can be revoked if used for very selfish reasons. After all, It would reflect badly on the clan if idiots went around exploiting it.
'I won't be abusing this though. Don't want to drag father into dumb stuff. I owe him a lot. Plus, I can just hide it when shit hits the fan' Holding up my left hand, eying the ring on my pinky finger before casting [Illusion] on it to make it invisible.
-
Standing outside the doors to the mansion, wearing the usual dark robe and under the robe, two curved black daggers strapped to my waist. I bid Shel goodbye.
"Alright, I'll be away for a few weeks. Don't know when I'll return exactly. Try not to shed tears, Shel." I tease.
Shaking her head like she doesn't know how to deal with this delusional young master of hers. She cast [Text].
"I worry for the unfortunate souls that will be crossing you, young master. I do not know what sort of cowardly and underhanded methods you will use to eliminate them. Not to mention, the poor maidens that will be sullied by your claws."
"You make it sound like I'm some sort of menace, how rude!" I pout jokingly.
"Young master, your act of pouting may have rotted my eyes from sheer abhorrence. Thankfully, I have no eyes."
She places her hand on her chest and 'sighs' of relief.
"Hahaha. I'll miss you too, Shel."
"Do take care, young master." She bows.
"See ya." I cast [Teleport].
-
Appearing at a cliff near a waterfall. I reminisce with smile.
'This is where he dragged me outside the first time. It's been months since then'
I chuckle 'Thought he was a kidnapper/rapist at the beginning. Turns out, he's a really great father. Thank Go-'
"Fuck! Oww..." I grab my head in pain.
'Okay, don't thank Him. Let's thank father next time I see him. Oh, I should get him a gift. No, I MUST get him a gift. He's done a lot for me. It's the least I can do.'
I pondered for a bit on what kind of gift he'd like before extending my wings and fly to the gondolas station.
-
Landing in front of the station. I see a lot of people. It is Agreas, a great tourist spot.
I only wanna try the gondola for no reason. I can fly after all.
When I landed, everyone stared at me for a bit then went about their business while some laughed and pointed at me.
'Hm? my face can't be that bad....wait no! I already cast [Look Manipulation] to change my face into some average joe and cast [Cloth M] to wear a shirt and pants.
I don't want my real face to be remembered for any reason just in case. Call it paranoia, I call it being careful.' I nod, patting myself on the back.
"Hey, you!" A loud voice calls out.
Looking towards the loud voice. I see a man wearing a uniform heading my way.
'Fuckin' great. Now what.' I cursed.
"Yes?"
"What in Satan's name were you doing?!" He scolds.
"Huh?" I tilt my head acting stupid.
"Don't 'Huh' me, you bastard! I saw you flying! Agreas is a no-flying zone."
"Umm...sorry, I'm a tourist!" I apologetically say with a smile to avoid nuisances since I don't want to start killing retards early in the morning.
*Snort* "Figures."
He then pulls out a ticket book.
"I'm gonna have to write you up a ticket for that violation. What's your name?" He demands.
Kinda annoyed with this development, I feel like off-ing him. Still, I'd rather have my existence kept mostly unknown for now.
Looking at the, what I assume, is a security personnel. I thought of using [Mind Control] but before I did, I sense a small magic circle on him that's constantly activated.
'An alarm perhaps? Security here is pretty crafty.'
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" He screeches.
"It's...uh it's Eric." I answer.
"Took you long enough, you got a brain-damage? Anyways, pour your magic on the circle." He says as he shows me the ticket he's holding, with a tiny magic circle on the top left corner inside a square.
"What happens if I do pour magic?" I question.
"Haaah....damn tourist....It's gonna show your information."
'Well, shit. All can think of is that the Agares crest will show up on the paper. And we don't want that. No, sir.'
"Hurry the f- KUH!" The man kneels while holding his crotch.
As soon as he fell, I sprint away from the station, heading for the edge of the island.
"Th-thtop...." the eunuch weakly demanded.
-
Reaching a cliff, I look back. Seeing no one, I relax.
'High-class speed isn't a common thing it seems.' I caress my thighs....'lovingly'.
One would say that was unnecessary....if that someone wants to be known.
'I'm planning on raiding some nobles. And the last thing I want is unimportant people asking who I am and where I've been.' Once again, I pat myself.
If you're wondering why I'm planning on raiding nobles. Well, it's to get noblewomen as slaves....ehehe..and certainly to get materialistic stuff.
Also, I will be raiding the Naberius branch family. To get my hands on the two kittens.
Lucky me, it seems I've reincarnated before the 'main' events.
How do I know that?
It's because my father told me that his descendant Seekvaira, the next in line to inherit the Agares clan, will have her 10th birthday celebration this year. And I will be informed when the time comes to attend it with him.
Meaning, the kittens are serving the Naberius and Akeno still living with her mother.
'I'll be getting the black cat and the mother as slaves. As for the other two, I'll let Rias take care of them until they've ripened.'
-
Looking over the clouds from the island is quite soothing.
I jump off the cliff.
The wind brushing against my skin.
Penetrating the clouds, I find flying creatures soaring the sky.
Free falling, spreading my limbs out while enjoying my time plummeting into my possible death. A creature that looks like a wyvern decides to try their luck.
[Blade Barrage] is cast upon the flying lizard.
Seeing it get sliced in half mid-air is interesting.
-
Before crashing, I extend my one pair wings and slowly descend onto the ground.
Around me is a sea of forest. North lies Auros, it's where the current head and his family live.
I will use [Teleport] gate there to reach Lilith instantly. Only clan members may use that gate due to its potential risk.
Again, I take it to the sky.
-
Arriving far away from the entrance to Auros.
I see a line of people. A line I don't wish to queue for. And seeing that people are touching a crystal orb which I assume would display their information, shits on my parade.
Watching the guards at the gate, they seem to belong to the Agares clan, a family branch most likely. They're wearing fancy armor with the Agares crest on it, unlike the security personnel on the island.
'Yep, totally clan members.' I'm convinced due to their uppity attitude they display.
I cast another [Look&Cloth M] spell to make sure I'm not tracked for my appearance earlier.
Appearing as an old man in a suit.
Approaching the gate and ignoring the queue. One of the guards steps forward.
Puffing his chest, he declares "Old man, have you gone senile? Wait in line like the other commoners!"
'What's with him being arrogant. You're just a middle-class, y'know.'
"Ehem. Excuse me, young man." I inform him in an old raspy voice then show him the sigil ring.
Stopping in his tracks. His face paling by the second.
He bows deeply and shouts "M-My most humble apologies, great elder!"
Trying my best to hide my creeping smile, I say "Mm, that is fine. Do escort me inside, my memory is foggy so I might get lost. Huhuhu."
"That would be my honor, great elder! I will fetch the carriage once we are inside!" He bowed again and started leading me inside.
'That was easy. Guess I'll be using this disguise whenever I come across annoying stuff.' I eyed the ring.
-
Riding the carriage with the clan crest on it. I seem to attract some attention but it doesn't last for long.
'If I'm not mistaken, Auros is a heavyweight when it comes to agricultural production. Most people should be well-fed here.' I mused as my jittery now-guide-former-guard steers the carriage.
"Boy, where is the [Teleport] gate located? Take me there now, I have urgent matters to attend to." I order.
"Y-yes! At once, great elder!" He yelped.
'I'll tour this town after finishing my 'business'. It seems lively.' I stroked my fake beard.
-
5 mins later we arrive at a building.
The door to the carriage is opened and I step out.
"This is?" I ask.
"Thi-"
"This is the transport facility! Welcome, great elder!" Answers a chubby man wearing a 18th century burgundy suit and on him are amount of jewellery that makes him almost glitter.
"I see. And you are?"
"Ah! My apologies. My name is Gizmo Agares, manager of this transport facility. And the honor is all mine, great one." He bows exaggeratedly.
"Hm hm. Well met." I nod
'Transport facility? From the sound of it, they transport all the agricultural products via this building. Efficient.'
"E-excuse me, elder?" The lardass cuts off my thought.
"What is it, Jimbo?" I look at him with a frown.
"S-sorry for interrupting your thoughts. I assume you are here for the gate?" Asks Gizmo as he wipes sweat off his greasy forehead with a gold embroidered handkerchief.
'Heh. This dude looks like the definition of sleazeball. Probably an ugly bastard type.' I chuckle to myself.
"Oh, yes. I am certainly here for that. Do lead the way."
"Yes, please follow me."
We went inside the large building.
Inside, it looked like one of those old office building.
As I was following him, he asks "And may I inquire on where you wish to be teleported to, great elder?"
"Hm. Lilith."
"Certainly, sir."
Then there was silence.
-
We took an elevator and reached the top floor.
Led into a room where there is a magic circle carved on the center.
"This is the [Teleport] gate that will take you to Lilith, great elder." He bows.
"Thank you, Gimo." I nod and cast [Teleport], connecting to the gate.
As the the magic circle lights up, it whisks me away to Lilith.
-
'Who the fuck was that person?!' Yelled Gizmo, to himself.
'I know ALL the clan members and I've never seen that shitty geezer!'
Gizmo is still in the same room. Walking around thinking of every ugly mug his clan has to offer. Trying to recall which name belonged to Senex's old man disguise face.
'I-is he an imposter? No, he has the damned sigil ring! Even I don't have it, and I've worked for hundreds of years as a manager.'
He dismissed the possibility of Senex being an outsider. No one can replicate a genuine clan sigil ring.
The quality of craftsmanship. The demonic power it generates. And the aura that it gives off.
'Why hide his identity? No, I shouldn't get involved. He might turn out to be the first head himself or a direct relative....hahaha, yeah right.' Gizmo decided to simply forget about the whole matter.
