Information Gathering

Walking inside the city was Asra, it had been quite some time after he separated from Serafall. While walking, he listened to the chatters of the devils walking around.

From his listening, he didn't get much information other than basic information like the currency used here. Since this was still centuries back, they used bronze, silver, and gold coins as currencies.

All of which he doesn't have in him. But he doesn't need to eat or sleep so it's kind of useless even if he had some. It's useful maybe if he was buying stuff but he can just craft them on his own.

Among the memories he got, he also got different knowledge of alchemy, enchanting, runesmanship, and blacksmithing. So with enough materials, he can create magic items for his use, the materials could be found in the wild too.

'But from Serafall's age, the devil civil war should be decades from now. If I remember correctly, I read in the wiki that the civil war happened around the time when Sirzechs was 60 years old about 500 years back before Issei became a devil. So assuming that Serafall's and Sirzechs's age isn't much apart, then the civil war will happen decades from now. And I should prepare for that since I can gain benefits there.' At this thought, unknowingly a smirk appeared on his face which made most women who saw him dazed.

After a while though, Asra retracted his smirk and calmly walks away. 'Oops, I let out a bit of my devilish charm there.'

The charm he was saying was a natural charm he exudes sometimes. It is dangerous especially to women as Asra could easily attract them if he used the charm.

'But still...it would be good to get to know the future satans. By this time, their strength should be far from their peak strength. Though the same could be said for me, I still need training in preparation for the upcoming civil war. I will greatly benefit if I participated in that war. Not only in a political sense but also in my personal strength.' But quickly he shook his head a bit, "I should go to a tavern of some kind, that will be the best place to gather information." Asra mutters in a low voice before asking where the nearest tavern is located.

After getting the location, along the way he used apports to snatch some money off the pockets of some passerby. After all, he needs to at least order food or drinks at the tavern to blend in.

As for apports, it is one of the innate abilities he got as a demon. It is an ability that lets him teleport objects without using magic. It's like the magic of Touya from Isekai was Smartphone to tomo ni, but Asra didn't use magic.

Arriving at the tavern, Asra was greeted by a wooden building which is of medieval design. Even outside, he can already hear the loud voices from inside.

Not waiting for more, he entered and quickly ordered food and drinks. While eating, he also listened to any information, whether rumors or news of some kind.

After staying inside for a few hours, he finally got what he wanted. From the information, he got a good grasp of the current situation of the underworld.

By this time, the devil is already showing signs of splitting into two factions. The reason being, the satan clans along with the six houses of Lucifer are becoming more arrogant and treating the other devils as beneath them.

Young Devil Gatherings were held regularly within the capital of Lucifaad, but not to further the relations between the heirs of the 72 Pillar Houses and the Satan clans but to intimidate the heirs and to show that the Satan descendants were superior to them.

The Satan clans counted only themselves and the members of the Six Houses of Lucifer as true Devils and the remaining people of the Devil society, inclusive the 72 Pillar Houses, as disposable beings that are not counted as true Devils.

That's the summary of the things that are happening. So the dissatisfaction of the other devils is also growing but as they still respected the satan clans, conflict still hasn't risen.

'But it's only for a few decades, those idiotic descendants of the original satans are arrogant. Heh, I can teach them a lesson in the war.' Thinking so, Asra quickly went out of the city and used teleportation to where he and Serafall last met.

Soon Asra appeared in the same frozen forest, spreading his senses he could feel Serafall's presence along with three more presences.

Each one of that 4 presence was strong. Two presence of the four were especially stronger than Serafall's and one other.

'The other three should be Ajuka, Falbium, and Sirzechs. With the stronger presences being Ajuka and Sirzechs. Hmm...how to do this...!?! Damn!!!' Asra quickly jumped away avoiding a ball of blackish-red energy blast.

"Wait! Sirzechs, I know him. He's Asra, the one I talked about." Asra heard Serafall's voice just when he was about to counterattack with his hellfire. He quickly extinguishes the hellfire gathering in his right hand.

Soon enough, four people came towards Asra. Three males and of course one female which is Serafall. One of the males is a handsome man who seems to be in his early 20's. He has shoulder-length crimson red hair and blue-green eyes.

Another being is a bewitchingly beautiful young man appearing in his early twenties, with light blue eyes and green hair that is slicked back.

And the last bring, is a tall man whose head is completely bald and has a goatee on his chin. They are Serafall's friends as well as three of the future satans. They are Sirzechs Gremory, Ajuka Astaroth, and Falbium Glasya-Labolas.

"We meet again, Serafall." Asra says before flashing a smile, completely ignoring the other three.

"Mm, nice to meet you again, Asra." Serafall nodded before continuing, "Let me introduce you to my friends. The red-haired guy is Sirzechs-chan, The green-haired one is Ajuka-chan, and the bald one is Falbi."

Hearing the introduction, Asra tried not to laugh but ultimately failed as he chuckled. While Sirzechs, Ajuka, and Falbium have tick marks on their foreheads.

"Serafall, what kind of introduction was that," Ajuka says with a gloomy look.

"What? It's cute okay?" Serafall defended herself to which the other three just sighed. It seems like they can't change the way their friend address them.

Asra on the other hand just watched the interaction of the four. And he can't help but be envious as throughout his training, he has been alone. At the same time, he saw the friendship between the four future satans.

"Anyway, let us properly introduce ourselves. I'm Sirzechs Gremory, please to meet you. And I'm sorry for that attack earlier." Sirzechs was first to introduce himself. He was followed by Ajuka then Falbium.

"Ajuka Astaroth, at your service."

"Falbium Glasya-Labolas."

Asra nodded, "Asra Lenoir, please to meet you all."

And that was the first meeting between the future satans and an archdemon. That was also the start of their friendship with each other.
