CHAPTER 24

"You really have grown so much. You have become a handsome young man." Azazel said like a father, proud of his son.

"Well, it's been a long time after all. But you have not changed at all. How's it going, are you still chasing women?" Solas answered.

"Hahahahahaha... I'm not chasing women, women come to me themselves."

"Hahahahahaha... Yeah."

"By the way, allow me to introduce you. This is Kalawarner, one of my assistants, or rather one of my agents."

"It's a pleasure meeting you, Solas-sama." Kalawarner said respectfully.

"Oh yes, nice to meet you too. And by the way I guess that's yours."

"Hm? Who is he?" Azazel asked.

"Freed? One of Raynare's assistants. But he's totally insane, he loves to slay demons and those who have contracted them." Kalawarner explained.

"Tch... It's really frustrating and humiliating for me as a teacher that one of my former students has become like this." Solas said.

"Teacher?!" Azazel shocked.

"Student?!" Kalawarner too.

"I used to teach at the Vatican for a short time. Freed was the brother of one of my students back then, and he used to watch lectures occasionally. It was obvious that he was going to be a psychopath before, but I didn't expect this much."

"!"

"Did you then work as a mercenary in the Vatican, Solas-sama?"

"Yes."

"Then you must be the famous Shadow!"

"Ugh!... Yes but please don't call me like that."

"Hahahahahahaha... Chunnibyou times right?" Azazel said while laughing.

"Ugh... yes. By the way, how long will we stand in front of the door? Let's go inside."

Solas then opened the door and walked in, followed by Azazel and Kalawarner.

"Was this spatial magic just now?"

"You quickly noticed, Azazel-san. Yes this is my original home but I have connected it to my home in Kuoh with spatial magic."

"You really do amazing things."

"Hahahahahahahah... And I'll continue to do."

"Solas, do we have guests?" Shuri's voice came.

"That voice could it be...?"

"Hm?"

"Oh Azazel are you the guest? Welcome." Shuri was surprised at first to see Azazel, but then she said welcome to Azazel.

"S-Shuri is that really you?"

"Yep it's me." Shuri said with gentle smile.

"But how?"

"We talk about this inside, don't stay standing." Solas said.

"Then excuse us."

Afterwards, Solas took Azazel and Kalawarner to the living room while Shuri went to the kitchen to get some snacks and tea.

"Hey Solas, how did this happen?"

"Hm? What?"

"I saw Shuri die but how can she still be here then? The last time I saw her, you used some kind of strange ability and took her body, how could Shuri still be alive?"

"I brought my mother back. I practiced some kind of reincarnation and brought it back. After all, devils have been creating new devils this way for a long time."

"When?"

"A few months ago I completed the necessary things and resurrected my mother."

"Even demons can resurrect those who died in just 24 hours with this method, but you say you did it 8 years later?"

"Yes, I'm great, right?"

"Hahahahahahahah...!! You really are."

"I was able to prepare this much because you did not inform before, I hope you like it." Shuri said as she brought snacks with a tray and tea on it.

"You never lost your hand taste, Shuri."

"You praise me too much, Azazel. Thank you also for looking after my Solas."

"Hm?"

"Azazel-san, I know you were the one who eliminated the remaining men sent by the clan that day." Solas said.

"How did you find out it was me?"

"Michael and Gabriel said."

"Yes I did. You're my godson after all, but I was still late. If only I could stop that Baraqiel." Sadness and anger were evident in Azazel's voice.

After that, the three of them started chatting. Kalawarner had decided to keep quiet, knowing that this place was like a family get-together.

"By the way, Kalawarner, if you're one of Azazel-san's agents, why are you under Raynare?" Solas asked.

"Actually, the thing is..."

Thus, Azazel informed Solas about the current situation. It seems that there are some villains in Azazel's faction, and in order to find these villains, Azazel has placed the people he trusts as agents in many groups, one of which is Raynare's group. Apparently Raynare was being used without knowing it was being used. And according to Azazel, Kokabiel was the culprit. But since Azazel still has no tangible evidence, he can't imprison Kokabiel because if he does, a civil war between the Fallen angels is likely.

"I understand that you are in a really difficult situation. But from what you've described, I assume the culprit of this situation is the chaos brigade. As far as I know, the Chaos Brigade is currently targeting three factions."

"How did you guess?"

"If I say that my shadows extend to many places."

"I see. Thanks for the information."

"Don't mind it."

Shortly after, Azazel and Kalawarner said they had to go because it was late, of course they took Freed with them and then left.

"Mom, by the way, where are the other girls?"

"Right now the girls are having a sleepover so you can't go near them. Girls' sleepovers are off limits for boys. And it is forbidden to look with your shadows or your divine sense. Anyway, I'm going, good night."

"Hai hai."

'Let's meet with Anos for some new spells.' Solas thought and then opened a portal and left.

"Love talk of course. Nya~"

"L-Love talk?!

"Yep nya~ Love talk nya~ I'm most waiting for a performance from you here Ingvild-chan~ Nya~"
