chapter 16

The next day, most noble devils arrived; they all gathered. Ajuka, Sirzech, and Serafall, along with many other well-known figures, were there.

They were discussing with others.

Among the devils who noticed that Theo hadn't arrived, there was talk of it being disrespectful.

Then they heard a roar from above. Everyone then rushed out of the ballroom, where they saw a jet-black dragon with a tall figure of a man with crimson hair riding it.

The young man surprised everyone by leaping off the dragon and descending to the ground, initiating a superhero landing. Dust enveloped the surroundings.

When the dust settled, Theo was standing there.

Then, a hundred shadows emerged from his shadow, and he began to walk slowly towards the guests.

Sirzech: "You kept us waiting. What's with this army?"

Theo: "Thanks for waiting for me. After all, it's normal for a king to move around with his army, isn't it?"

Theo said this with a menacing grin on his face.

Ajuka was secretly observing the army, and Serafall's eyes were gleaming.

After all, Theo currently seemed somewhat ominous, not like his usual self.

Then, everyone started moving towards the ballroom. Many were talking about Theo; after all, nobody expected something like this.

Theo was speaking like a king there, and then Serafall approached him and started talking.

Serafall: "Hello, you must be Theo-kun. I'm Maou Serafall, you can call me Levi-tan."

Theo: "Nice to meet you, Levi-tan. You already know me. How about hanging out sometime?"

Serafall chuckled.

Serafall: "Sure, but before that, do you love magical girls?"

Theo leaned in towards her ear.

Theo: "I love them, especially magical girls like you. You truly enchant me."

Serafall blushed and giggled.

Serafall went to Sirzech's side.

Serafall: "Sirzech, it seems like your brother knows how to steal girls' hearts. Did you teach him that?"

Sirzech: "I know. Sometimes it feels like he'll cause a lot of trouble in the future. He's already stolen the hearts of two girls, but he doesn't seem to care much."

Serafall: "Your brother is truly dangerous. His power surpasses yours. I can feel that your power is at least greater than mine, but I don't feel anything from him, as if he's looking into my soul when he looks at me."

Sirzech: "I know, and he most likely surpassed me, especially with his current shadow soldiers looking dangerous. And we don't even know how many of them there are. My little brother has been strange since childhood. If he lives longer, he probably surpassed the original Lucifer."

While Serafall and Sirzech were talking, Theo was talking with the others. Then, he noticed Diodara and approached him.

Theo: "I'm Theo Gremory. Diodara, there's something very important I need to talk about it."

Diodara became nervous because he had seen Theo's power with his own eyes and didn't want to provoke him if he didn't want to die; he had to choose his words carefully.

Then Theo spoke.

Theo: "How are things with the nuns?"

Theo smiled knowingly, testing Diodara.

Diodara: "Good, and how can I assist you?"

(Diodara had a fetish for nuns even before his peers; this was a fetish for him.)

Theo: "{Hmm, he's hiding his pride. For now, I'll let him live to see what he'll do in the future.}"

Theo: "It's not important; I just got curious. When you're about to do something, keep it better hidden. Understand?"

Diodara: "As you wish, my lord."

Then Sona approached Theo.

Sona: "Hello, I'm Sona Sitri. You can call me Sona, Theo-kun."

Theo: "Hello, Sona-san. Nice to meet you. Rias always talks about you. If there's anything I can help with in the future about being a cool big brother, don't hesitate to ask."

Sona: "I'm glad too. I heard you're smart and like chess. Hopefully, we can play sometime."

Theo: "Anytime, Sona-san."

Sona slowly moved away from me.

Then Ajuka approached.

Ajuka: "Hello, Theo-kun. I'm Ajuka. I'm very curious about those soldiers. Where did they come from?"

Theo: "If you give me the Kankara formula, I can tell you. But I'll tell you this; only I can do call these soldiers, so don't bother trying."

Ajuka: "Well, if you're smart enough to learn the formula, then of course."

Theo: "Thank you. Until next time then."

It was time to get the peerage pieces. Everyone got theirs, and it was my turn. I had four mutation pieces, and given how rare mutations were, I might be the first person to have this many mutation pieces parts. 

Ajuka: "Congratulations, Theo-kun. I hope you'll use the peerage pieces wisely."

Theo: "Don't worry; I will."

And everyone went back home.
