4. A Trip to the Underworld

"Okay. I did not expect it to go that smoothly." Aaron said as he looked at Latia.

The both of them were currently sitting on a train. It would've been fine except for the fact that the sky outside is red and the land is pretty different from Earth.

"Well, knowing how to use a hypnosis spell is a good thing after all." Latia said to him with a smile.

"Though I didn't think we would be going to the Underworld so soon." Aaron said as he looked outside the train.

"Well, I wanted to show my new Servant my home as well. As your Master now I have to show you that I am someone worth your loyalty." Latia said to him with a smile.

"Right. What about that deal I talked about?" Aaron asked her in a whisper.

Latia blushed when he brought that up as she coughed into her fist before schooling her features and looked at Aaron, who has a cheeky smile on his face.

'He did that on purpose didn't he?' Latia thought to herself as she looked at him.

"I will fulfill my part of the deal. You don't have to worry about that." Latia said to him firmly.

"Glad to hear it." Aaron said to her with a smile.

He then looked outside and saw the scenery and liked the foreign scenery in front of him as it was different. Soon, they entered the territory of the Astaroth clan where they exited the train before Latia used a magic circle to teleport the two of them away.

Aaron and Latia appeared out of her magic circle as he opened her eyes as he had closed then due to the light. But then his eyes widened when he a huge mansion in front of him as his jaw dropped at seeing it.

"Is that..." Aaron said as he looked at it.

"That's my family's mansion. Even if I am a part of a branch family we still have considerable power and wealth." Latia said to him as she walked forward.

Aaron followed her as he saw many servants working in the garden surrounding the mansion. They all smiled and waved towards Latia as she waved back though they did look at him in confusion and intrigue. But he just kept his gaze on them for a few seconds before he broke it as he kept his focus on Latia.

The two entered the mansion and Latia gave some orders to the maids working there as she went away as Aaron watched her. Then they went to a room and Latia sat on the couch in the spacious room as Aaron saw many expensive looking things there, though he soon realised that everything here is pretty expensive looking.

"You don't have to stand you know. You can sit on the other side." Latia said to him with a smile.

"Thanks." Aaron said as he sat as she told him.

They say in either side of the couch with Latia on left while Aaron is on right. There were some Servants there who attended to them and gave them some more food and drinks. Soon a man and a woman entered the room gaining their attention.

The woman is tall has blonde hair and looks almost like Latia. She is wearing noble clothes as she has a smile on her face as she saw the two.

The man is a bit taller than the woman and has blue hair and a handsome face. He is also wearing a noble attire as she looked at them with a serious face.

The two the sat on the couch opposite to the one where Aaron and Latia were sitting as they looked at the boy.

"Mom, Dad, this is Aaron, my new peerage member. And Aaron these are my parents." Latia said as she introduced them.

"Greetings." Aaron said with a polite tone.

"Hello. I'm her mother, Azaria Astaroth." Azaria said to him with a smile on her face.

"I am Zyrus Astaroth, Latia's father." Zyrus said to him seriously.

"So, I brought him here to show him to you two. He is a very powerful person." Latia said to them with a smile.

"How powerful? And which piece did he take?" Zyrus asked her seriously as he looked at Aaron.

"He is able to easily defeat three Fallen Angels and as for the piece. He was too strong for my other pieces so I ended up using my Queen piece." Latia said to them with a serious face.

The two were surprised when they heard that information from their daughter. They looked at Aaron who was looking at them without flinching.

'I didn't think my daughter would be able to find such a powerful servant. I guess it was a good thing that she went to India.' Azaria thought to herself as she looked at him.

'Hmm, well if he is powerful then Latia will be much more safer. As a member of the Devil nobility she already is far stronger than normal devils so for her to have to use a Queen piece on him must mean that he is very strong.' Zyrus thought to himself as he looked at Aaron with an analytical look.

"Well Aaron, it is nice to meet you. I'm glad that my daughters Queen is a powerful one." Azaria said to him with a smile.

"Thank you for the praise." Aaron said to her with a smile.

"Well, if my daughter has recruited you then you must be really strong. I looked forward to how the two of you work together." Zyrus said to the two with a calm smile on his face.

"Of course Father." Latia said to him with a smile and a nod.

"I appreciate it." Aaron said to them with a smile.

'Well, at least this is going smoothly.' Aaron thought to himself as he looked at them.

After that they talked for a bit more before the two went to separate rooms to rest for a bit. Aaron used this time to start learning to use his demonic power. Since he already has experience generating electricity and controlling it he was able to draw out his demonic energy much easily for the first time.

After that he trained to get a better control over his demonic energy while also making sure to be able to draw on the energy whenever he wants. He kept on practicing on it until he was called by a maid who informed him that Latia was calling him.

He exited his room and went to one of the many rooms in the mansion where Latia was sitting on a couch. She looked and smiled at him as he reached her. She gestured for him to take a seat as he sat on the couch opposite her as she smiled at him.

"So, why did you call me?" Aaron asked her curiously.

"Well, I wanted to talk about our movements in the future. Now that you are a Devil there is a chance that you might not be welcome by the Hindu Pantheon since... you know." Latia said to him with a nervous smile.

"I guess I understand." Aaron said to her with a nod.

"That's what brings me to this. Do you want to study in Japan?" Latia asked him with a smile.

"Why Japan specifically?" Aaron asked her curiously.

"Well, one part of Japan, Kuoh, is currently under the jurisdiction of Devils and therefore a safe location to he on Earth. I'm not saying that everywhere outside there is dangerous, but that place is much safer than most. But I wanted to know what you think about it." Latia said to him with a smile

'Well, if I do go to Kuoh then I will become involved in the Plot which is kind of good I guess. Not to mention I can get to kick some Fallen ass and maybe kill that son of a bitch Freed. I never liked him.' Aaron thought to himself as he looked at her.

"Sure. I don't mind. It will be interesting." Aaron said to her with a smile.

"Good. Then I'll start making preparations." Latia said to him with a smile as she looked at him as he smiled back.

'That is the que for me to get stronger.' Aaron thought to himself as he looked at her.
