“Yes. If you are a human that is related to special powers, then normally you will be the one summoning. The ones who will get summoned are Devils and monsters after all. That is the reason why I want all of you to take importance with this pact. You won’t be able to break off a pact that easily once you make one. If you make a pact, then you will have to work seriously. But if you make a pact with someone with low calibre, then people will question our quality. So choose the best trading partner there is. For magicians this is something to further improve their research on special powers, but for us Devils, this is business. The pact with a normal human and the pact with a magician, doing both of them makes us a Devil.”
[Yes!]
We nod our head to our master’s words. Yeah, it’s a must for being able to do this. This is business. Aiming to become a High-class Devil who can’t even accomplish this is out of the question.
A pact with a magician—
I will find the best partner there is!
……But, I hope I can get a beautiful witch-sama if possible!
[Devil-chan, will you listen to my w~i~s~h?]
[Of course. Except, I will be groping your oppai as the price for it like always.]
[Iyaan, Devil-chan, you sure are naughty♪]
…………Wonderful. It’s a wonderful thing, to have a business partner like that……!
“……You were thinking something naughty right?”
Koneko-chan who is sitting on my lap pinches my thigh! Koneko-sama is really strict!
While we're doing things like this, Rias looks up at the clock in this room.
“It’s about time. Everyone, the person standing at the top of the magician association will be contacting us through the magic-circle. So behave well.”
Oh, I have to be careful. Koneko-chan who is sitting on my lap gets off and sits next to me. Once all of us sat on the sofa in a well mannered way, a huge magic-circle appears on the floor of this room.
The shallow lights form a circle.
“……The symbol of Mephisto Pheles.”
Kiba says that. ……Mephisto Pheles? Isn’t he the legendary Devil who belongs to the Extra Demon group, and the one who made the pact with the ancestor of the mist-user Georg of the Hero-faction……?
While I was remembering about that, the magic-circle that appeared shows a holographic image.
The holographic image of a middle aged man sitting elegantly on a chair appears in front of my eyes. …… He has his mixture of red and blue hair held firmly with a gel. He has sharp, odd coloured eyes where the right eye is red and the left eye is blue. This man is giving off a mysterious atmosphere similar to that of Ajuka Beelzebub-sama. He has a bit of a fierce look. His terrifying face then changes by making a smile.
[Oh Rias-chan. It’s been a while.]
He has a light tone. ……I thought he would have more of a frightening tone, so I loosened up right away.
Rias responds to his greeting.
“It sure has been a while, Mephisto Pheles-sama.”
[Oh my, you sure are becoming beautiful just like your mother. Your grandmother and great-grandmother were all beautiful people.]
“Thank you very much.”
Rias introduces this person to us.
“Everyone, this person here is an Extra Demon, and also the chairman of the magician association, Mephisto Pheles-sama.”
[Hey, hello all of you. I’m Mephisto Pheles. Please refer to the books to know more about me. Books written about me are overflowing in the world.]
……He said something metaphorical from the start. But, I understand now. So this person is the boss of the magicians. I never thought a Devil would be standing at the top.
Ravel who is sitting next to me tells me quietly.
(……After he made a pact with the first Georg Faust, he remained in the human world even after the death of Georg Faust, and he took the position of the top of the association right away.)
Hmm, so did he come to like the human’s world?
“You are an independent right? Nothing like household and stuff.”
I questioned him since I was concerned about it. I haven’t heard of something called the House of Pheles, so I wondered if he is just an individual.
Rias explains.
“Mephisto Pheles-sama is one of the oldest among the Devils, and he spends most of his time in the human world. Also, he happens to be Tannin-sama’s [King].”
——! I get shocked hearing Rias’s words!
Oh, so this person is old man Tannin’s [King] which was a mystery till now!
[I gave my [Queen] piece to Tannin-kun. He came and said that he wants to save the Dragon-tribe’s which is almost near extinction. Yeah, he is the role model for all Dragon-Kings. Well, I don’t participate in the game and involve myself in Underworld’s riot, so I basically allow him to roam free.]
