  |-_-_-_-_-_-_|

  “Hi there.” I waved my hand as as greeting to the newers.

  The first one who caught my attention was obviously Serafall who seemed to be fuming in curiosity at why I’m standing in the same room as her.

  The one was a handsome man with bright red hair that makes blood itself look pale in color.

  His eyes stared at mine, perhaps some thoughts were swirling inside his mind.

  Maybe he was w who I am or something like that.

  I then used my magical seo take a peek at his reserves and was shocked by what I saw.

  Not only his reserves was thicker and potent than Serafall, but it also have this weird nature that seems to destroy the surroundings.

  As if it wao destroy me.

  Feeling a chill up on my spine, I made a o myself to be cautious around this man.

  Behind him was a man with simir appearance except for his hair being less brighter and a red beard with protrusions that looks like a fang.

  We both smiled at each other as a form of greeting.

  one I saw was Ajuka himself, obviously reizable sidering that bright spiky green hair that stood out ihe room.

  Nodding at him, he nodded back as response. We both already know each other, though I would like to have some ‘talk’ with him about the Evil Pieces and its possibility to be removed.

  I tried using my magical senses on him only to fall short upon sensing the same thing when I used it on Zekram.

  So these guys somehow mao have a spell that hides their demoniergy. It would be cool if I learn it. It would be useful against people like me who seher being’s energies.

  Behind him was a simir-looking man but with a goatee instead.

  And st but not the least, was a man with a very shiny head and manly goatee.

  I would’ve thought this man was the normal-looking o of all of us if it wasn’t for his slumped bad sleepy eyes that looked like he’s on the verge of sleeping.

  Why is this guy even doing here? Did he get enough sleep?

  If I were him, I would’ve stayed at home and slept instead of b with meetings that involve aire race.

  I tried nodding at him but received no response, I don’t know if it’s because he didn’t care or he just didn’t see me.

  I hope it’s the tter.

  I also used magical sense on him and he’s on the same level as Serafall in terms of both reserves and poteneat.

  Then there’s his father who doesn’t look that much except for having rge muscles.

  “Looks like everyone is finally here. roceed with the tinual of our st meeting’s discussion.” Zekram spoke, causing everyone’s fathers to sit on their respective chairs, while the children stood behind them.

  As for the chair I was sitting on earlier, it belongs to the red-haired man’s, so now I’m left standing instead.

  As for Serafall, until now she’s still gring at me. If looks could still, I would be- you know what I mean.

  “Allow me to introduce our new ally for this uping war.” Zekram then poi me, allowing them to feast their eyes upon my presence.

  “Everyone. My name is Chamberin. I’m new here so please take care of me.” I then bowed my head out of respect.

  Dammit, that sounds se. It sounded better in my head.

  I raised my head again and saw them nodding their heads respectively, as if successfully assessing me.

  “Chamber here, is a unique case out of all of all.” Zekram spoke again, gaining everyone’s attention.

  “How so?” It was a man who I didn’t know, who spoke with eagerness in his tone.

  “Do everyoill remember the project that Ajuka proposed a few weeks ago?” A series of nods is what he got before tinuing.

  “Chamber here, is the first ever successful human who has turned into a devil with the help of Ajuka’s Evil Piece.” As soon as he dropped his words, a series of collective gaps except for a few be heard across the meeting room.

  “Is this true?” It was Gideon, Head of the Sitri family who asked the question. It seems like he ’t believe that my background was more than just an ‘orphan’ in the Lucifaad.

  “Yes it is, Lideon. And I apologize for not telling you the truth.” I spoke up before Zekram could, I feel like it should be my responsibility to tell him the truth sidering I was the one who lied.

  I see the swirl of thoughts in Gideon’s eyes, I’m not sure what he’s thinking but it’s definitely not good.

  “Now, I’m sure Gideon won’t mind it, right? It’s all in the past and we must focus on our future.” I noticed a strange glint fshing in Zekram’s eyes as he looked at Gideon, who flihat might seem unnoticeable to others except for me.

  “…Of course. It’s a small matter pared to what we’re going to deal with iure.” Gideon fixed his sitting position and cleared his throat.

  “Well the’s go back to our main topic. Aside from being the first human who turned into a devil, he also have a rather peculiar talent, it took him only a single month to turn into a High-css devil parable to some heads of devil s.” A look of disbelief appeared in everyone's eyes, making me puff my chest slightly out of pride. It must be my devil geaking over.

  Aside from Serafall, who simply rolled her eyes at the annou, others have varied reas.

  "So he's also a monster like Sirzechs and Ajuka." It was the bald man who spoke, what was his name again?

  "Indeed he is, and before I fet, allow me to introduce all of you to Chamber." Zekram then started pointing fingers at each members ihe meeting room.

  "Chamber, the one who just spoke is Falbium Gsya-Labos, the heir of the Gsya-Labos , sitting in front of him is Zephyr Gsya-Labos, his father and also the current head of their ." I see Zephyr standing up, his shirt hugging his huge muscles as he offered me a handshake.

  "It's o meet you, Chamber." Not wanting to be rude, I took his hand and shook it keenly.

  Upon sensing how he's tightening his handshake, my lips quivered as I returhe same strength at the same manner, causing the huge man to ugh out loud.

  "Hahaha! Looks like, Zekram wasn't lying, you're indeed a High-css devil." After that he sat down.

  Zekram doesn't o speak any more as everyoook this as a sign to introduce themselves automatically.

  "Good to meet you, Chamber-dono. My name is Zeoticus Gremory, and this is my son, Sirzechs Gremory." This time, it was the red-haired father-son duo who introduced themselves.

  So his name is Sirzechs, huh? I made eye tact with the said man, who smiled kindly and bowed his head.

  "I hope we get along well, Chamber-dono."

  What with these two and their weird imitation of japanese honorifics? Do these two hail from Japan?

  As if sensing my fusion, Zekram opened his mouth and expined.

  "Ah, I uand if you're fused, you see, the Gremory family is quite fond of Japanese culture to the point of buying their own home over there." So in other words, these two are the world's first otakus? I uand.

  The one is Ajuka and his father.

  "I am Dio Astaroth, head of the Astaroth , this genius behind me is my son, Ajuka Astaroth." Ign the blonde haired man fshing in front of my eyes, I smiled and offered them a handshake.

  "As the first human who experienced Ajuka's Evil Piece, you say we're quite an acquiantance." I expined, sparing Ajuka the unnecessary time of greeting me, causing him to cast a grateful gny way.

  "I won't o introduce myself and my daughter, I'm sure you already knoe are." Gideon only stood up to aowledge me before sitting back down, all while Serafall silently mouthed the word 'Sorry'.

  God dammit, is he still sour about that lie? It's not like the lie harmed him or his family, right?

  "Well I guess it's my turn now," This time, the st one who introduced himself was alone, no father or child standing behind him.

  "Kid, you're currently looking at the one and only Time Lord, Seek Agares, the stro Agares and the future head of the Agares ." The man then puffed his chest while smirking, as if expeg me to be amazed by his introdu.

  From the er of my eyes, I see Zeoticus and Gideon, shaking their heads while the others are simply amused by him.

  Well, that's one way to make a first impression, I guess?

  "It's o meet you I guess?" Seriously, these are the people I'm going to work with whehrowing the current leaders of devil? Talk about a bunisfits.

  "Now that we have gotten to know each other, its time to proceed with our current pns. I know some of you are thinking why I invited Chamber to join us in our cause." True to his thoughts, he gained a collective nods from them, actually, I was among those who nodded, sieically, I also don't know the full reason why I am here.

  "You see, after the Great War, it would be our job to hahe devils and the afteramaths in which I'm afraid some might take this ce to cause chaos to the human world, whom every pantheon gods swore not to meddle with, I don't want to paint a bad picture on us especially since we strive to prosper the devil society. Hehis will be where Chamber es in, as a former human, I would like him to represent the human race, establish es between our races. Chamber shall be the oo protect the human world from devils who would dare to cause trouble in their world." Before I could ask about his iions, he tinued.

  "Especially now that our race is deing, we need more devils and that only be achieved through Ajuka's Evil Pieces and the humans." My face suddenly turned grim as I finally realized his iions.

  "So in other words, you wao be a human trafficker? Sending humans for you to turn into devils. I apologize but I don't think I am suited into this kind of job." Just as I was about to form a portal to leave, Zekram replied.

  "It seems you have misuood my iions, Chamber. I don't want you to deliver me humans to turn into devils, I only want you to make sure the humans thrive without any interference from us devils."

  "And why would you want them to thrive." I raised an eyebrow.

  "Humans....are a bunch of iing people and I just simply want to form a proper alliah them. Humao bee every supernatural being's toys, getting tossed and pyed around by them"

  "As for the Evil Pieces, I have already made the necessary ws aions when it es to those. This here tains all of them." He then handed me a folder that has been sitting oable since I arrived here.

  Accepting them, I skimmed my eyes inside and the more I read, the wider my eyes bee.

  This guy...This guy is turning into the world's first capitalist!

  The folder tains a bunch of paragraphs aences dictating what must and must not be done when recruiting humans with the Evil Pieces such as how only High-css devils like me are allowed to be given the Evil Pieces to use. Then there's about how the devils shouldn't use force or any sort of bckmail to make the human agree to turn into devils. The one was what shocked me the most.

  Zekram is allowing those who reinated into devils to reach High-css and upon doing so, shall be free from the devil who reinated them and bear his own Evil Pieces, effectively turning them as part of the Devil's upper hierachy.

  Its like letting your sve reach the same status as you and eveing them own their own sves!
