CHAPTER 40

So Noir came out of the bathroom and, after getting dressed, went to the living room.

"Excuse me, I took a shower after practice, so I couldn't greet you."

"No-chan it's okay okay. Did you miss your Onee-chan?~"

"Fufufufu... Of course."

"It doesn't matter, we were the ones who came unannounced." Sirzechs said, but there were fires in his eyes.

'I can understand those looks, after all I said that I slept with his sister there. But it would be better if he didn't look as if he was trying to kill me with his gaze.' Noir thought.

"Did you come here to give the date of the duel?" Noir asked.

"Yes. The duel will take place in three days." Grayfia said.

"Well, I guess that should be enough time to train Rias and Sona's Peerages. By the way, I'm going out of the country for a few days after the duel."

"Why?"

"Because I want to see new places. It's annoying to just stay in Kuoh." Noir answered.

"So let's get to the main topic." Sirzechs said.

"Hm? Main topic?"

"The relationship between you and my sister! You are really brave to attempt such a thing without marriage."

"I think you misunderstood something."

"What could we have misunderstood? Didn't you say you slept with Rias?!"

"When you play with words, the whole sentence changes, right?"

""Huh?""

"I said I slept with Rias, not that I had sex. True, Rias and I slept in the same bed last night, but we didn't have sex. I told the truth there, I slept in the same bed with Rias."

"Pfffff... Hahahahahahahah... As expected of my No-chan~ You see, Sirzechs-chan. I knew No-chan wouldn't do something like that. He falls in love with Rias first and then has sex. He's not the type to do things in a hurry."

"Well that's fine then. We have to settle your engagement with Ri-."

"What?!"

"Nothing. Heheheheheh (Awkward laugh)"

'Tomoe, I just heard right, didn't I?'

[You did master~ He definitely said engagement with Rias~]

"Anyway, I actually have a few requests from you."

"Hm? What are they?"

"First I want to set up my clan. Or rather, reinstall."

"Re-install? What do you want to say?"

"Leviathan clan. I want to resurrect the Leviathan clan. Not as a treacherous clan, but as a clan to be led by me."

"Even if we wanted to, we can't. Clans cannot be given to anyone, especially the Leviathan clan. Even the Leviathan clan's land cannot be used or given away. The founder of the clan was obsessed with blood purity, and when he dies, there are no pure-blood Leviathan left, so the Clan cannot be transferred, so I can't give you the Leviathan clan even if I wanted to." Sirzechs explained.

"I understand, but maybe this will change your mind."

'[Skill Aura: Envious King- Leviathan, Sea Serpent Of The End]'

All of a sudden, Leviathan's aura started gushing out of Noir's body. Serafall, Sirzechs, and Grayfia were shocked, as if the first Leviathan was right before their eyes.

'I'm so happy to be working this with Tomoe. This simply allows me to radiate their aura without using skills.'

Afterwards, after thinking he had convinced everyone, Noir withdrew the aura.

"Well, we really understood that you are a Leviathan, so how come you, born of the houses of Bael and Sitri, became a Leviathan?" Sirzechs asked.

"Bloodline evolution. When I was born, something in my body triggered evolution, so my lineage rose to an upper limit, the Leviathan lineage."

"You have experienced something truly unique. So what's your next request?"

"When I was in the underworld, I felt the presence of a strange person. Another Leviathan, but strangely, it's presence was undulating and there was no sign of movement, as if it couldn't move. You know who that person is. I want that person."

'He must be talking about Ingvild Leviathan. His ability to sense it is as if the original maou were able to sense their descendants. Could this Noir be a reincarnation of the original Leviathan? I'll have to figure this out.' Sirzechs thought.

"Well, I will share information about that person with you after the duel, but don't get too hopeful, that person's situation is rare so it is not clear whether I will give it to you."

'Hmph! You think I don't know about Ingvild Leviathan's situation, but of course I do, and I have prepared to heal her.' Noir thought.

"Well, do you have any other requests?" Sirzechs asked.

"There is one last one. Human souls tortured in hell. They are needed but not urgent."

""Human Souls?!!""

Everyone was surprised because they had thought of many things, but it had never occurred to them that Noir wanted human souls.

"You're not preparing some kind of black magic or experiments, are you?! This sort of thing is a long time ago. Experimenting on souls is a forbidden act!" Sirzechs's voice was cold as ice.

"Wow! Don't be fooled by strange ideas. The reason I want human souls isn't to do some weird experiment."

"Then what for No-chan?!"

"Evolution." Noir answered.

"Evolution?!"

"What did you mean by that Noir-sama?" Grayfia asked. Although she tried not to show it, Grayfia was intrigued.

"Well, this explanation is going to be a little weird, but I hope you believe it. Did I mention that the reason my lineage evolved when I was born was something inside my body? Last time I killed that excommunicated exorcist, I had a strange feeling, and I understand that I took that exorcist's soul. Afterwards, I searched for a long time with magic power, Senjutsu and perceptions for my body to find where the soul went, and then I came across something strange."

"It looked like a strange energy sphere, but an energy was leaking from it, and when I focused on the sphere, information about the sphere flowed into my mind. I started calling this thing [Demon Lord seed]. This seed wants human souls, and when enough has sprouted, it will evolve me."

"Th-That's..."

When they got the information, none of them knew what to say. Serafall wanted to believe Noir, knowing that Noir would not lie. Sirzechs, on the other hand, did not know what to believe. Grayfia, on the other hand, was simply taken aback because she believed that such things could happen, after all, there was still so much they didn't know about their race.

"You can refer to Odin if you want. So after all, you know that Odin's eyes are special and can see the secrets, then all we have to do is ask him and he will look at me."

"We'll discuss that later, but how much soul is needed?"

"I don't think I can give the exact number right now, but it's around 10,000."

""10.000!!!""
