"So, the person who killed my mother is that Euclid?"

Hearing my question, Mephisto-sama nodded his head.

"Most likely. However, it is possible for someone else to be involved here."

"Who?"

Then, looking cold and disgusted, Mephisto-sama answered.

"Rizevim Livan Lucifer.... He is Prince Lucifer and Euclid is very loyal to him. Most likely he told Euclid to find your mother and 'get rid' of her. So, it could be said that he was the main perpetrator of this tragedy."

Hearing Mephisto-sama talking about that Prince Lucifer, Governor Azazel also looked digusted.

"Tch, that Lilin bastard loves to ruin people's lives. In his eyes, everyone else is just toys and entertainment for him."

Meanwhile, I also then remembered the conversation between Mother and the silver-haired man named Euclid that day.

"Prince.... Indeed, when talking to the silver haired man, Mother said she had no obligation to follow the 'Prince'."

And hearing what I said, Mephisto-sama gave a small nod.

"That's right.... Lilianlua is indeed Rofocale, but as I said, she has only lived as an ordinary young lady since childhood and was not involved or tied to her family role for Lucifer. Even after she returned to her family and became the heir, she still didn't want to be involved and to intervene."

After that, we fell silent. Until Governor Azazel looked at me and asked.

"Then.... What are you going to do now?"

Hearing the question, I closed my eyes and thought.

If I want to survive, I have to be strong! If I want to avenge Mother's death, I have to be strong! If I want to be able to protect the things that are precious to me, I have to be strong!

Then I opened my eyes and said firmly and full with determination.

"I want to be strong!"

Hearing that I wanted to become strong, Mephisto-sama nodded in understanding. Meanwhile Governor Azazel seemed to be holding his chin.

"Hmm.... Want to be strong, huh.... Speaking of strong, do you know about the purple-black flame that you have? What ability is that?"

Governor Azazel suddenly asked me about flame.

Flame?

Ah! That's right! The moment before I lost consciousness, I saw purple flame being summoned!

I nodded slightly to Governor Azazel.

"I know about the flame I got. But.... Purple-black? Isn't it just purple?"

Right. At that time, the flame I saw were purple in color. But, why did Governor Azazel say there was a blackish color? Is there a mistake here?

Seeing me looking a little confused, Governor Azazel turned to look at Mephisto-sama with a slightly surprised expression and Mephisto-sama is also doing the same. Governor Azazel then grabbed his forehead.

"Wait.... Don't tell me you didn't know that purple flame fused with Ophis's Snake?"

Governor Azazel asked me with a slightly wry smile.

Hearing the question, I was even more confused.

"Snake? Ophis? What are you talking about?"

I do not understand.

Why did Governor Azazel mention a snake here?

And who is Ophis?

Wasn't what it discussed here was those mysterious purple flame? Why are you off to something else? What does that have to do with the purple flame?

I don't understand at all.

"You really don't know!?"

Governor Azazel and Mephisto-sama looked really surprised after seeing me looking even more confused.

"Not at all...."

I shook my head.

After seeing me shake my head and my expression that seemed completely clueless, Governor Azazel sighed.

"Hah~.... I'll explain...."

Governor Azazel then explained to me about 'Snake', Ophis, and how that 'Snake' fused with purple flames. (➡️Read later-half of Ch.02 to Ch.03)

"Hmm.... I see now...."

After listening to Governor Azazel's explanation, I understood. I didn't think that after I summoned those purple flame and I fell unconscious, someone else appeared before Mephisto-sama came and took me away. What's more, the one who appeared was the one Governor Azazel called the Dragon God and the strongest figure in this world! And besides that, that Dragon God Ophis also gave me her 'blessing'!

I then stretched out my hand and focused on trying to summon the flame within me.

"...."

A moment later, I saw in my hand slowly appearing a purple-black fireball which then turned into a purple-black fire snake that continued to circulate biting its tail!

"This...."

I was quite flabbergasted to see the purple-black fire ouroboros in my hand.

I'm sure these purple-black flame are very hot, but somehow I just feel warm. Maybe because I was the owner, I didn't get burned.

As the three of us watching the purple-black fire ouroboros, Governor Azazel asked me.

"When did you get that purple fire?"

I frowned slightly at the question, but in the end I answered it.

".... Just before I fell unconscious due to being seriously injured after fighting the person who killed my Mother."

"How did you get that purple flame?"

"I... called it."

I answered with some hesitation.

And hearing my answer, Governor Azazel frowned slightly.

"Hah? Called it? What do you mean?"

".... I summoned it using my Sacred Gear's Balance Breaker."

This time I answered in more detail and Governor Azazel and Mephisto-sama looked really dumbfounded at my answer!

"Sacred Gear!? You actually have a Sacred Gear!? And have reached Balance Breaker!?"

"And you said you summoned that purple flame with your Sacred Gear!? Then that flame itself isn't a Sacred Gear!?"

I was quite surprised at their hysterical reaction!

Then I nodded slightly and told them about my Sacred Gear.

"That's right.... I have a Sacred Gear that allows me to summon something and bind/subdue it. At first, I only could summon a living thing without intelligence or unowned inanimate object. But, if I use Balance Breaker... Well, actually the ability is the same with the default conditions. It's just that.... "

"It's just?"

"I-It's just that... what I summoned... seems like... from another world...."

I answered somewhat awkwardly and hesitantly.

Then, there was silence happened....
