3 : Magical Girl

Netherworld. Underworld. The world of the devils has many names. It used to be a grim place that emits evils, with purple skies through the horizon. But in the new Maou era, it almost resembles the human world in a sense. Even though it was just an illusion made of magic.

But to Serafall, underworld just screaming boredom. That also the reason why she is in charge of external affairs. The world without her most precious So-tan is a plain white paper. Normally as one of the maous, the one who rule over devil race there is no one to even dare stopping her for going to human world and be with her precious little sister. 

Except for Sona herself. But it's changed now. Due to Kokabiel's recent attack on Kuoh, now it's the perfect time to go to meet her So-tan. 

' Yes, this is the moment. In a few day, there would be a parents meeting. And also... ' 

The peace treaty. It was the grigori idea, Azazel specifically that proposed such a ridiculous but also wonderful idea. The peace treaty of three bible factions. The Fallens, The Angels, and The Devils. 

But before that, as a Maou its her responsibility to manage a few things regarding the meeting itself. Since she doesn't even know if there is ever a time where the factions meeting with good intent like this in history

' This bunch of works is nothing as long as i'm meeting So-tan. '

And as she checking some documents on her table, suddenly she felt some sort weird energy surging from outside. It was faint, if it wasn't close enough to her she might not be able to sense that.

Serafall then looked at the window.

" I should go check it if someone is trying to infiltrate Sitri's territory. " She thought.

And fast forward. She couldn't believe what she just witnessing in front of her innocent, pure, devil's eyes. 

" W-w--w-what are you doing bald naked in this territory!? " She insist, she expecting to meet some sort of things. A monster or suspicious devil, but a naked man isn't one of them. She pointing at him, and her other arm is 'trying' to cover up her eyes.

" Are you perhaps trying to do some naughty thing!? "

Hearing accusations from the woman in front of him, Sung Jinwoo looked at his body. He is in fact naked, not a piece of clothing covering his chiseling body, even his Jormungandr is exposed to a woman other than his wife. 

As he realized, shadow clothes instantly covered his lower body. At least not exposing his Jormungandr to the whole world, well a woman at this moment of time.

Serafall widened her eyes, quite surprised as she witnessing a weird phenomenom just now. 

' Is it magic? No, it's not important, at least that terrifying thing is covered now... ' She never saw it in that size before, it's not like she ever saw one directly before but she pretty sure that the hentai doesn't make it that size.

It was dead silent for a moment before that man said something.

" I'm sorry. But how come you know korean, are we somewhere in korea right now? " Jinwoo asked, it's weird to him. Even though as he can clearly see her up close right now there is one thing he is sure.

' This girl is not human. And a pretty strong one too. ' He felt a little bit of his danger sense as he facing the girl in front of him right now.

' She might be able to be compared to monarch in terms of strength just by looking at her. '

But contrary of that, Serafall couldn't sense anything from this man. The feeling when she was sensing some bit of magic earlier is disappeared. She doesn't even know if a man with a tattoo in front of him is a devil to begin with.

 ' No, this man is definitely not one of us. Is he a human? That's the biggest possibility. '

" Korean? Ah, do you mean the language i just speak right now? No, it's actually not. This is a magic called [ Language ], with this i am capable of speaking the language your familiar with. But by that sense, are you perhaps came here from a human world, mysterious naked man? " 

" Magic, huh... And also, my name is Sung Jinwoo. I am indeed in a sense human. Now, i also had a few questions. First of all, who are you, no that's not right... What are you? " Jinwoo asked, his eyes is indefferent. But to Serafall, his words bring a few sensation to her.

It's the same gravity as when she talking with Sirzechs. 

" Ah- That's right, i haven't introduced myself. Nice to meet you☆. I am the Maou Serafall Leviathan☆. Call me Levia-tan☆!! Jin-tan! "

" Jin-tan? What? " Jinwoo raised his eyebrows.

" So, what a human like you doing in the underworld naked, Jin-tan? Don't tell me you got lost here. "

" Don't change the topic, you haven't told me what are you? " Jinwoo asked.

" I told what i am tho~, i am one of the Maous, or maybe you are more familiar with the term Devil King, or should i say Queen? A~nyway, i am magical -- 

As Serafall yapping her monologue, Jinwoo felt in deep silence.

' Who could've thought that the first thing i met in this world is a devil, i've wondered what devil would look like ever since i heard about them exist in this world form those rulers, but devil in a human shape through and thorough. '

" So that's who i am, now it's your turn to ask my question Jin-tan. " Suddenly a cold breeze is emitted from Serafall, even Jinwoo could sense that her magic is suddenly emerging and filling the air. 

His dangerous sense is tingling, the cold atmosphere. The woman in front of him is maybe smiling like a cute innocent baby girl, but this magic that he felt is unbelievable vicious.

' Now, she's more devil-like. '

Despite the pressure, Sung Jinwoo isn't affected at slightest. He doesn't even flinch. He had felt what is true fear in his meeting with that existence in the END. This is comparable to an ant, even less compared to that feeling he got just from talking to that creature.

He is not in his prime right now, and he also doesn't know the full power of the so called devil king in front of him. But in this foreign world full of strong creature, Jinwoo thought that it might be wise to stay lowkey.

' It's also seems like this girl couldn't sense my magic as long as i don't use it, is this the tattoo doing? ' Jinwoo thought as he looking at his hand, before turn his gaze to the girl in front of him.

" Now i must apologized once more for my intrusion in your territory. And that's precisely true that i got lost here. So, if you are fine, would you able to show me the way to human world. " Jinwoo said, trying not to draw any ill intention whatsoever.

' This guy, he doesn't even startled... ' Serafall is quite surprised, no ordinary human would feel nothing after what she just doing. 

' What should i do? Should i help him or leave him... I don't feel any ill intent from this man, but he definitely isn't an ordinary human, this man could be dangerous. ' Serafall felt silence for a moment...

' They said keep your ally close, but your enemy closer... '

" Alright Jin-tan, i understand. Actually, there are two ways of you going to the human world. It is by the dimensional gap, and the train that connected it is under construction... And the other thing is by teleportation spell. " Serafall said.

' Train that connected both world? That's pretty interesting. ' Jinwoo thought.

" By that teleportation spell, do you perhaps capable of using it? "

" Of course!~, i am a magical girl Levia-tan after all! "

" Yeah haha... " 

' Not this magical girl thing again. ' Jinwoo thought.

" But, i'm sorry Jin-tan, actually there are a few things that i must done before i am able to go to the human world. Let's say its a responsibility of Maou! That being said, you must wait until i am done with my work before i can go with you, how about that!! " Serafall said in cheerful manner.

Jinwoo staring at her thoughtfully before he nodded.

" Not a problem, actually i'm very grateful that you are accepting my request. "

" Yes, i accept your gratitude. Now that you are here already, why wouldn't you follow me to the main mansion. It might need a few days before i'm done. " Serafall said as Jinwoo just nodded at the sudden invitation.

Jinwoo maybe looks like he accepting it, but he realized something.

' So she want to watch me and judge me whether i'm dangerous or not huh. It's quite understandable actually for a woman in her stature. She said she is one of the Maous, so there are more than one demon kings... Serafall Leviathan, huh. '

Jinwoo then following Serafall from the back, as he staring at the sky.

' DxD, it's quite an interesting place '
