More than a year has passed....

During this time, I have completed training in spear fighting techniques and mastered them. Apart from that, I've also studied Rune Magic and have gotten into it quite a bit. Thus, it means that I have completed the three years training provided by Scathach-sama and now I'm 12 years old.

Shortly after we finished breakfast, a familiar purple Dragon landed in our camp. That Dragon is Tannin-san.

I stood up and greeted him.

"Good morning, Tannin-san. Why are you here?"

Tannin-san nodded slightly.

"Good morning. I'm here to pick you up. Mephisto Pheles couldn't pick you up and send you to the capital because he was already in the capital to prepare things there for you. So he asked me to pick you up."

Hearing that answer, I took a deep breath.

"It's about time, huh...."

"Yes."

Then, Tiamat-san and Penemune-san stood up.

"Then I will return to my cave...."

"And my task is completed now. I will back to Grigori."

I nodded and thanked them.

"Ah.... Tiamat-san, Penemune-san, thank you for accompanying us all this time!"

Sakuya-san also bowed slightly in thanks. While Scathach-sama and Kulshedra-san each just nodded slightly and smiled.

Tiamat-san gave a small nod then turned into a Dragon form.

"See you later...."

And after saying that short and cold farewell, she flapped her wings and then flew away.

Then, Penemune-san came up to me and hugged me.

"Fufu.... Thank you too. I'm also quite happy to know and spend time with you guys!"

I blushed slightly being hugged by Penemune-san. It's because my current height is only as high as her chest. And moreover, Penemune-san has big breasts. So... well, that's how it is.

After saying that, she let me go and patted my head with a smile.

"Good luck, Rey-kun! .... See you later, all!"

Penemune-san then slightly waved her hand to us and then disappeared with teleportation magic.

After the two of them left, I let out a long sigh.

During our stay together, the others and I were quite close and on good terms with them. So, even though we parted ways, I don't regret it. Because I believe we will meet again in the future.

And they left me a few impressions about their characters too.

Tiamat-san has similar traits to Scathach-sama. Namely cold, not very talkative, and firm. Even so, I feel she's actually quite considerate of those close to her.

As for Penemune-san, she's actually quite a friendly and warm person. Although... she's also quite flirtatious sometimes.

"So, you want to get to the Capital by which method?"

Tannin-san asked me while I remembering how Penemune-san had teased me several times. I smiled a little wryly.

"Uhh.... What do you mean?"

I asked back slightly confused.

"If you want a quick way, I'll take you by teleportation. But if you want to travel while sightseeing the Devil's territory first, we can fly while you all ride on me.... So?"

Hearing Tannin-san's statement, I thought a little.

Since it looks like Mephisto-jiisama is already in the Capital first, it should be best to get there soon so as not to make him wait too long. But since Tannin-san offered another option, it means that he probably doesn't mind and it's fine even if we don't hurry.

"Hmm.... I guess it wouldn't be bad to take a trip while looking at the sceneries.... What do you think?"

I asked the other three.

".... Up to you."

"Sakuya will follow whatever Rey-sama decides."

"That's not a bad idea."

It's decided then.

After that, we packed up and then set off for the Devil's Capital!

️"We are getting closer to the capital of Lilith. And now we're starting to enter the territory of the famous Bael Clan. Bael is considered the number one clan among the 72 Pillars. Bael is also famous for their clan's distinctive power, Destruction."

Several hours had passed since we made our journey by flying with Tannin-san to the capital.

Along the way, we passed several Devil noble territories. Even so, we just passed through an uninhabited area and didn't stop by the nearest town or city because we didn't want to be too flashy and attract attention. Even so, Tannin-san gave some information and descriptions about them.

"Some of the members and descendants of the Bael clan are the strongest and most respected among the Devils. The ancestor of the Bael clan, Zekram Bael, just like Mephisto Pheles is one of only a few first generation devils who are still alive today. He is also the Great Elder and Palace Advisor in the Devil King Palace. Also, one of the current Four Devil Kings, Sirzechs Lucifer, even though he is from the Gremory Clan, he also has the blood and power of Bael because his mother is from the Bael Clan."

"Hmm.... Then they are a clan that has great influence among the Devils."

"That's right. Even there is a faction led by Bael namely the Pure-Blood Faction."

*boom!!! *graak!!! *roooaarrrr!!!!! (SFX impact, fallen tree, roar)

"Hm? What's that sound?"

While Tannin-san and I were talking about the Bael clan, suddenly there was a roaring sound from a distance. I wonder what's happening.

"Hmm... How strange. This is the outskirts of the Bael clan territory. As far as I know it's just an uninhabited wilderness."

Tannin-san seemed to be wondering too.

Meanwhile, Scathach-sama looked curiously towards the source of the voice.

".... Interesting.... Over there!"

Looks like Scathach-sama found the source point and asked Tannin-san to go there.

"Well, let's find out."

After saying that, Tannin-san flew towards the source of the sound that Scathach-sama pointed to.
