The higher-ups also let out breaths of wonder at Sairaorg’s goal, which he had declared upfront without hesitation.
“It’s unprecedented for a devil from the Great King family to leave it.”
A male devil higher-up said this.
“When the people of the underworld feel that there’s no choice but for me to become Maou, I will become one.”
He declared even further! He really is amazing, this person!
With no time for me to be surprised, Buchou spoke next.
“My goal for the near future is to live as the next Gremory head, and to win in each Rating Game battle.”
I see. So that’s Buchou’s dream and goal. I felt like I was hearing it for the first time. How reliable. So like Buchou. Alright! We servants will do our best for the sake of Buchou’s dream!
After that the other young people also stated their dreams, their goals, until the last one remaining at the end was Sona-kaichou.
Then, Sona spoke.
“I wish to build a school for the Rating Games in the Underworld.”
A school! Heh, so Kaichou wants to build a school.
But, while I felt admiration for her, the higher-ups scrunched up their eyebrows.
“If it’s learning about Rating Games, isn’t there already one for that?”
As if checking, a higher-up asked this to Kaichou.
Kaichou answered blandly.
“That is just a school where only high-class devils and devils of privileged rank are accepted. The school that I want to build is one where low-class devils and reincarnated devils can also attend without any distinction.”
Ooh, so a school without discrimination. That’s good. It would be a good place for the future Underworld. Saji was also proudly listening to Kaichou’s dream.
However—.
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!]
The laughter of the higher-ups ruled over the assembly hall.
I didn’t understand the meaning of it. The meaning of why the higher-ups were laughing. When I turned to look at Buchou, her eyes had narrowed and her face had become serious. Eh? Eh? What was going?
“That’s impossible!”
“This is just brilliant!”
“I see! So you’re a little girl who dreams!”
“It’s good to be young! However, for the next head of the Sitri family to state such a dream, I have to say thank goodness that it was here at this place of introduction before your debut.”
I don’t get it. Why was Kaichou—being looked down on?
“…Even if the current Underworld has changed much from the past, discrimination between the high-class devils, low-class devils, and reincarnated devils still exists. There are also still a lot of people who believe that to be natural as well.”
Kiba spoke blandly from beside me.
“What’s with that? But weren’t we welcomed normally by Buchou’s family?”
“Ise-kun. The Gremorys are a family that has profound affection. They don’t really discriminate against humans or low-class devils…But, please remember the House of Phoenix.”
