Ch8: Phenex Party (3)

Ajuka Pov

"Interesting..." I muttered as I witnessed the chaos unfolding in front of me.

Before this, I didn't plan on attending this banquet as it would be a waste of my time.

The time which I could use on the experiments that I'm running. Now that I think about it, I'm running out of subjects to experiment on.

'Guess I'll have to go and fetch some livestock from the prison after this banquet.'

Serafall being the clingy and annoying person she was, begged or rather it would be better to say annoyed me by spamming messages that I should attend this meeting.

It didn't help that she even asked my father and mother to convince me. One of these days I might use her as a guinea pig if she annoys me like this.

Having enough of her antics I decided to come to the meeting and leave after a few minutes however, when I arrived I noticed a unique and special disturbance in the hall.

The mood was peaceful but I could sense some sort of magic or barriers being cast all around the people in the hall.

Piquing my curiosity, I decided to let whoever was behind this do their job and see what they want to accomplish with this.

No more than a few minutes passed that I sensed the traces of that magic disappearing.

It was then that the chaos happened. Devils began attacking each other for no apparent reason, going all out to even kill each other.

I quickly cast a spell to see if they were being mind controlled, but the results were negative.

'So it's not mind control... they seem agitated and angry at specific people... Ah I see now.'

The person in question had made the barriers to make the people inside them go through something which agitated them and lastly when he was sure they were manipulated he had undone his spell.

"Interesting..." I muttered once again. But what would the person behind this achieve from this?

My eyes wandered around the hall to see anyone suspicious till my eyes landed on Sirzechs's Cousin, Sairaorg.

He was sitting beside a child around his age with pale blonde hair. Both of them were wearing glasses and eating popcorn.

'So it's either Sairaorg or that boy, well there's no need to think too much about it as Sairaorg is more of a muscle brain.'

But for him to be able to do something like this at such a young age... truly interesting.

*A/N: Who else remembered the guy from spyxfamily that kept saying elegant.*

Feeling a new spell being cast, I knew that one of the other Satans has decided to intervene.

'Well it was fine while it lasted.' I also joined them to calm the other devils.

Roygun Pov

After leaving Roy alone at the party and hoping he would make some friends, I went out of the hall and to the place where I had a meeting with the Phenex family.

It wasn't anything special as they only asked me to watch out for their son's back during the upcoming rating games and if possible train him.

Of course I rejected it as the only person who is worthy of my training is my dear brother.

He's such a genius that he easily picks up everything I teach him in seconds and copies them as if he's done this thousands of times before.

Lord phenex even proposed a marriage between my little brother and their youngest daughter, Ravel.

Of course I rejected that too as the only person who is worthy of my cute brother is me.

Though it wouldn't be a bad idea to get him more wives so I can rub it in their faces that I'm his first wife and was with him more than them.

'Focus Roygun, you're getting distracted.' I slapped my own face to get rid of those thoughts.

'Lets go back and see how many friends my brother has made.'

As I walked into the hall, I was met with utter chaos. Devils were at each other's throat and were beating each other to death.

My eyes roamed around the hall to see if my brother was fine, and guess what? That little brat was treating this as a show and eating popcorn.

'I left him just for less than an hour and he already made a mess.'

I already knew my brother had this side to him which loved to cause mayhem and make people suffer, but I ignored it because I couldn't believe my brother would be capable of something like this.

'Well it's not like my love for him will change because of that. Now how should I get him out of this? Surely at least one of the Satans has found out who's the one behind this.'

I fastened my steps and quickly arrived by Roy's side "It seems you're enjoying yourself."

He gave me a blank look "Shouldn't have left me alone to buy milk."

"What milk?"

"... Forget it."

I feel like I have missed something... Oh he already has made a friend.

And of all people it's the Bael family's failure Sairaorg. I have nothing against this young boy, I even pity the situation he and his mother are in.

'Wait could it be that Roy befriended him because of that? As expected of my brother, he has a caring and kind side too.'

*A/N: Sure he does.*

"So do you want to introduce your friend to me?"

"No." He replied immediately. Did I do something wrong?

An awkward silence crept up and we didn't say anything till we felt a powerful pressure being emitted from the middle of the hall.

Without wasting any time I cast a barrier around us so that the mana pressure won't crush Roy and Sairaorg.

"Everyone this meeting was held as a celebration party for something grand, I hope everyone refrains from behaving inappropriately."

Sirzech said calmly with a gentle smile as the pressure coming from him was enough to dispel the current enmity between Devils.

"you always do it yourself to look cool. Let me do it next time." Serafall said while lightly punching Sirzechs.

'Sigh... she's still playful and childish in a situation like this.'

Sirzechs didn't mind Serafall's childish antics and laughed it away.

"Now I hope we can enjoy the rest of this party in peace and harmony." He then grabbed a glass "Let's have a toast for the young Riser Phenex that has shown his talent as a devil and has won his first rating game."

The crowd all raised their glasses and cheered for the cause they were invited to. With a simple show of power Sirzechs had made the previous chaotic situation into a peaceful and joyful mood.

"This guys charisma stat is maxed out." Roy muttered.

I ignored Roy's remark and released a sigh from relief as it seemed he didn't mind what Roy did and probably brushed it off as a joke.

Or that's what I thought till he walked towards us "Why don't the three of you join us? It's been a while since I've seen Sairaorg, and I'm pretty sure Serafall would love to talk with you."

I was going to reject him with a random reason but then Roy did something that caught us off-guard.

He jumped on Sairaorg's back and told him to carry him to the table that the satans were sitting at.

Sirzechs chuckled upon seeing this and Motioned for me to follow them "Lets go."

As we arrived at their table, I gave Roy a nudge and hinted that he should show his respect to them.

Roy gave me an indifferent look, then turned to take a look at the Satans. He ignored them all except Falbium and walked towards him, gave a nod and came back to stand beside me.

Falbium who was asleep, got up and gave a nod to Roy in return.

"Oi what's that? Be polite and greet them all."

"No."

"Why?"

"Only that guy is worthy of my respect." He said as he pointed at Falbium.

"..." Everyone was speechless, I mean what else could we say when someone said something like that?

"That's a bad attitude young man, you should treat magical girls with respect too." Serafall said as if repair minding Roy.

And there she goes with her magic girl thing.

Roy ignored her and took out his pillow, proceeding to sleep on it.

"..." And once again we were left speechless.

It was then that we heard someone's laughter.

"Hahaha I like that boy. He has a bright future ahead of him, I might even consider making him my successor in future." Falbium, the ever sleeping satan said.

This time the entire hall went silent as Falbium's voice was loud and clear enough for everyone to hear it.

Declaring an eight year old kid as your successor for the position of Satan that easily and nonchalantly, was something no one expected.

Except the ones that knew Falbium personally that is.

"Outrageous! I cannot accept such a thing." one of the devils yelled, which made the others voice their opinions too and agree with him.

"Indeed, Lord Asmodeus you can't say something like that as if it doesn't mean anything."

"That's right, calling a brat who Hasn't even lived a decade your successor is an insult to all of us."

Falbium didn't even waste his time on them and ignored them all, going back to sleep as if he had done his part.

Roy took out a spare pillow and gave it to Falbium. The two looked at each other and gave a nod of respect to each other before going back to sleep.

'As expected of my brother, earning the respect of one of the Satans and even being on friendly terms with him.'
