Mc POV

Standing before me was a woman but she was anything but average. Sun kissed skin with an hourglass figure that had curves in all the right places and practically hypnotic emerald green eyes. These characteristics would in my own humble opinion if Gilgamesh was here he would have taken her as his concubine right here and now.

But looking closer I saw something a well hidden trace of mana..... no not mana it was different. Darker. More malevolent. Something that made me feel highly irritable in its presence.

"Devil...." I muttered under my breath forgetting that even the weakest supernatural being has hightened senses.

"Indeed but I'm curious how someone like you would know that?"

'Shit I blew my cover what do I do now'

"I've done my research little one.

Rea Hyoudou

Age: 4

It says your 4 years old yet how does a 4 year old possess [peak-low class] energy levels when both your parents are normal humans"

'Well this is troublesome at best I could muster a [tier 1] spell or 3 F grade noble phantasms my mana capacity is currently pathetic compared to my prime where I turned my entire body into one big magical circuit. Let's not act like a 4 year old since if she bothered doing her research she more likely than not will have found a few inconsistencies in my 'normal' childhood'

Deciding to drop my act I replied. "Woman I may not be acquainted with modern customs but should thou not introduce thine self before all of this rabble" I said with the royal etiquette of Babylon.

The woman's eyes seemingly widened for a second before quickly re narrowing and curtsying . "My name is Cleria Bellial. So who might you be?"

'Hmmm she has at least decent composure and mild etiquette possibly a noble by the sounds of things?' I assumed after analysing her. Her etiquette though seemingly mild was done in such a way that one could see it was well practiced a rather normal occurrence for nobles I was formerly acquainted with.

"I am Rea Hyoudou, daughter of Mikumo and Gorou Hyoudou. As for your former question my mana is high because of my natural constitution nothing special about it ."

['NOTHING SPECIAL SHE SAYS!!! TELL THAT TO THE COUNTRY YOU ACCIDENTALLY WIPED OUT ON A TEMPER TANTRUM!'] I heard the ever calm Enkidu shout in my head.

Staring at the woman I awaited her next move prepared to flee at any second. Staring at her eyes I saw a flash of a strange emotions.
