After several hours of flying, we then saw a large cityscape in the distance.

And seeing that, then Tannin-san said to us.

"You see that big city over there? That's the current Devil's capital, Lilith."

I was quite amazed to see the landscape of the Devil's capital in the distance. Especially with the huge palace that I'm sure is the Devil Kings Palace appearing as the most luxurious and majestic building at its center.

"I will take you to Mephisto's villa. He's waiting over there."

A few minutes later, we saw a mansion where we also saw a blue-red haired man, Mephisto-jiisama, along with several servants standing there.

Tannin-san then landed in the mansion grounds and in front of Mephisto-jiisama.

And after me, Scathach-sama, Sakuya-san, and Kulshedra-san got off Tannin-san's back, Mephisto-jiisama smiled at us.

"Mahahaha! You guys have finally arrived! .... Welcome to the capital Lilith!"

"""""Welcome, Young Master! Welcome, Ladies"""""

The servants also bowed for a moment and smiled to welcome us.

I smiled back at them and thanked them for their hospitality.

"Thank you."

While the three women who were with me, Scathach-sama only nodded slightly, Kulshedra-san smiled slightly, while Sakuya-san bowed back in response to their greetings.

Then, Mephisto-jiisama spoke again.

"Since it's quite late now, you guys should just rest. We're going to the Palace to meet the Four Devil Kings tomorrow. We're not in a rush anyway."

Hearing Mephisto-jiisama's statement, I nodded slightly.

"Okay."

After that, Tannin-san said.

"Then, since my task is done. I will go home."

"Ah! Thanks for the help, Tannin-san!

"Aye. Thanks for picking them up, Tannin."

"Yeah... See you later."

"See you later!"

After Tannin-san flew away, Mephisto-jiisama then let us in.

And while sitting enjoying tea and snacks, Mephisto-jiisama chatted by asking how we were doing, my training results, about tomorrow's meeting with the Four Devil Kings, and so on.

He also said that he himself was seldom in this manor and used it, but he hired several servants to take care of it just to maintain the image.

And after dinner, the three women and I were guided by a maid to the rooms that had been prepared for us, and then we rested.

After morning came and we finished our breakfast, Mephisto-jiisama brought us to the Devil Kings Palace.

And after arriving at the magnificent Palace, Mephisto-jiisama conveyed the purpose of our arrival to the guard. But since it's still quite early, it seems like the Four Devil Kingss haven't arrived yet, so we're told to wait.

And after waiting for about half an hour,

"Good morning, Mephisto-jiichan! .... Ah! Grayfia-chan! You are here too!"

We saw a young woman with long twintails black hair and mahou shoujou appearance come and 'greet' with a cheerful smile!

"Ah... Someone's finally here. Good morning, Serafall."

"...."

And after Mephisto-jiisama returned the greeting, the woman then looked at me and the two Goddesses.

"And these must be the guests in question! .... Hello! I am Serafall Leviathan, one of the Four Devil Kings! Nice to meet you!"

Eh?

What did she say?

One of the Devil Kings?

This person is!?

Are you serious!?

I-I'm quite astonished that someone like this is one of the Devil Kings. Even so, I tried to be polite and respectful by standing up then putting one hand on my chest and bowing for a moment then introduced myself.

"Nice to meet you, Leviathan-sama. I am Rey Rofocale."

"Oh! Oh! So you're Rey-kun! You're so cute!"

"Eh?"

And then I was once again shocked because Leviathan-sama suddenly came over to me and hugged me tightly!

"Fufufufufu! Just like Grayfia-chan, I also consider Lilian-chan to be a good friend of mine. So since you're Lilian-chan's son, then you don't need to be so formal with me except on certain occasions. Just call me Sera-neechan or Levia-tan!"

I-I felt awkward suddenly being hugged by her and moreover asking me to call her like that.

"L-Leviathan-sa-"

"Call me Sera-neechan or Levia-tan!"

"Uhh.... Serafa-"

"Call me Sera-neechan or Levia-tan!"

"Sera-ne.... I'll just call you Sera-san.... Can you let me go? Please?"

"Muu...."

Even though she was pouting, she eventually released me from her embrace.

"Boo! Boo! Rey-chan isn't cute...."

I couldn't help but twitch my brow at the behavior of this 'unique' Devil King.

Then, I pretended to cough to try to shake off my awkwardness.

"Ahem.... Again, I'm Rey Rofocale. And the three of them are-"

"Excuse me...."

As I intended to introduce the three women who were with me, I heard someone else's voice suddenly sounded.

"Ah! Sirzechs-chan and the others have finally arrived!

And after I looked towards the source of the voice, I saw four young looking people consisting of three males in front and one female behind them coming.

"Eh...? Grayfia... chan...? What are...."

Sera-san looked confused looking at the woman behind the three males!

"""""!?"""""

While the three males and one female who had just arrived looked surprised to see one of us, namely Sakuya-san.

"Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?

Then, Sera-san looked back and forth to Sakuya-san and the woman who just came in with a confused and flabbergasted expression!

"W-W-W-What's the meaning of thiiiisssss!? How can there be two Grayfia-chan!?"

Sera-san looked completely shocked and couldn't believe what she was seeing! The four people who had just arrived were also the same!

And seeing their expressions, I couldn't help but smile wryly.

Meanwhile, Mephisto-jiisama seemed to be laughing.

"Mahahahaha! I understand how you guys feel! When I first saw her, I was shocked too!"

"That doesn't answer my question!"

"Maa, maa.... Calm down, Serafall. Let me first introduce them first... Please sit down."

"""""A-Ahh...."""""

After we all sat down, Mephisto-jiisama started to introduce us.

"This is Rey. Lilianlua's son that I previously mentioned."

I stood up and greeted those who had just arrived and introduced myself.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Rey Rofocale."

Then, Mephisto-jiisama introduced the young man who had red hair.

"This is Sirzechs Lucifer."

The red-haired young man, Sirzechs Lucifer, smiled at us.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sirzechs Lucifer."

Then, it was the green-haired young man's turn.

"This is Ajuka Beelzebub."

Even the green-haired young man, Ajuka Beelzebub, gave us a small nod.

"Greetings. I'm Ajuka Beelzebub."

And then, it was the bearded bald young man's turn.

"And this is Falbium Asmodeus."

"Hello. I'm Falbium Asmodeus."

"The three of them along with Serafall who introduced themselves earlier are the current Devil Kings."

Then, it was Mephisto-jiisama's turn to introduce the woman with long braided gray hair and maid clothes.

"This is Grayfia Lucifuge."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Grayfia Lucifuge."

The woman who looks like Sakuya-san, Grayfia Lucifuge, introduces herself then smiles warmly at me.

"Rey, the five of them were your mother's friends before she left after the Devil Civil War."

Hearing Mephisto-jiisama's words, I gave a small nod.

"Okay. Next..."

Then, Mephisto-jiisama seemed to wave his hand and use magic to create a barrier briefly.

And the Devil Kings seemed to frown a little at what Mephisto-jiisama was doing.

"Lord Mephisto, why did you create a barrier?"

"Because what I'm going to talk about next is quite sensitive."

Mephisto-jiisama answered with a serious expression.
