I have the impression that they have known each other for a long time.
“Do you know him?”
I ask Sensei.
“Yeah. We go way back. When Mephisto distanced himself from the old government of the Devils, we, the Grigori, allowed ourselves to contact him personally.”
Hee, he sure is a former Governor-sama who knows his own way. Rather than that, this person really has many connections with other places.
[Grigori’s information was a great help, Azazel. After all, I’m still getting assistance from Grigori even now.]
“Same goes to us, Mephisto. Well, there isn’t any disadvantage for the Fallen Angels to have connections with the association of the magicians in secret after all. And we don’t have to keep that as a secret now since the Three Great Powers made an alliance.”
From there, the two of them talk about this and that about the business world while leaving us behind.
“What!? Seriously!? That mythology which has been declining to make an alliance came for a negotiation?”
[Rather than that, it seems like there are those investigating the Dragon’s incident that was mentioned previously. So you shouldn’t be expecting for the alliances. They have basically been cutting ties with us. Thanks to that, we can’t obtain proper information on the mythologies which have isolated themselves.]
“……That matter huh. Well, the old mythology faction has been completely ignoring the other factions. Even if the rebels from their factions turn their fangs on us, they will probably continue to play dumb about it.”
[That proves just how much they have shunned themselves towards us who have stolen their believers. Especially us Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels, who are recorded in the holy Bible are hated so much by the other factions. Just how many mythologies have we crushed, and just how many legends and believers have we spread. You can’t even tell what’s going through the minds of the factions who have responded to the negotiations. I guess we can only depend on the leadership of the Chief God of those factions. Naturally we have lost the real Maous and God, so our mythology is horribly weak from the truth. It wouldn't even be weird if the history that we are currently making is thought to be a fake.]
“……Even so, we have to continue on living. Even if God and the Maous don’t exist, we are still alive.”
“Well, I also like the current Maous, so I have no problem.”
…………The discussion of these two is at such a high level that I can’t understand it!
Maybe they realised it, so Sensei and Mephisto Pheles-san stop their conversation and go into the main discussion.
[I’m sorry for taking a long time, Rias-chan. Now, I will send the data about the magicians that want to make a pact with all of you through the magic-circle.]
Saying that, Mephisto Pheles-san swirls around his finger from the vision, and points it to us. A new magic-circle appears in the air of this clubroom, and lots of documents come falling down from it! Akeno-san and Kiba pick them up. Me and the other members help move the mountain of documents elsewhere.
There is no stop to the documents falling down from the magic-circle, and it keeps on piling up! When I took a glance, a document that seems to be a resume appears to my eyes.
……I can see their faces from the photo or the portrait of them. The other thing visible is……the entries written in a devil’s letters or magical letters that I have never seen before.
……This is a written document to appeal themselves! The other things written are their previous experiences and their households. This really is a resume! There are also many documents attached to it!
Kiba says to me while I’m looking through the documents.
“Putting the past aside, the pact that magicians make with a Devil now starts from having their documents being selected. The selection which will come after that will be selected by us.”
Document selection! Wow! For real? ……It’s like a job hunt of the human’s business world.
“Instead of a job hunt, it’s more of a pact hunt. This is the mainstream right now. There was also an era where they fought to make a pact with a certain Devil first.”
Rossweisse-san says that while carrying loads of documents. So there was a war between magicians fighting over a pact with a Devil……! So having a pact with such a powerful Devil becomes their status huh…… It means that this will have a big meaning for their background.
While I was thinking like that, we split the mountains of documents between us.
The one who has the most documents is —Rias! She has mountains of documents!
Sensei has an expression that seems to convey that this is an obvious result.
“Well, obviously. Rias is the [King] of the Gremory group. They must have thought that having a pact with Rias will allow them to control all of you who are her servants. Since it is also a possibility where they can have a good relationship with the House of Gremory, it’s obvious that Rias will be the most popular one within the “Gremory group” category.”
