001 - What Makes it Hard to Go Home ?

"What will you give me if I accept your request?" I asked Sirzechs.

Hearing that Sirzechs immediately smiled happily and replied, "Anything, I don't know if you need my help or not, but if you want something or need me to do something, you can tell me and I will try to do it.

But of course, that's if I can do it, and I will not accept requests to do something evil or anything that will involve innocent people."

...even though he said that, I was sure he knew what request I would ask from him, which was Grayfia.

"You don't need to talk so much, you already know what I will ask for," I shook my head.

"I don't know what you mean~," Sirzechs replied.

"Wait! Could it be that you want to ask for my sister as payment for accepting Sirzechs' offer?" Lithia suddenly interrupted our conversation.

I then turned to Lithia and said, "Of course, I will ask for Grayfia, I have nothing else I want from you."

I could see Lithia looking upset because her beloved sister was being used as a bargaining chip like this, she had lost her brother 500 years ago, and now she was going to lose her sister?

"Lithia, calm down... you know that Grayfia has been searching for this man for 500 years, so we know that Grayfia really likes this man, so you don't need to worry about Grayfia," Sirzechs tried to calm his upset wife.

"But Sirzechs..." Lithia still couldn't accept that her sister would be used as a bargaining chip like that.

"Alright, how about we continue this conversation if Grayfia is also here?" I suggested to both of them.

"I agree, maybe we can ask Grayfia if she wants to accept your offer or not," Sirzechs agreed with what I said.

Of course, she would agree... that's what I thought because she herself said that she wanted to return to the skyrealm after her issues were resolved during devil civil war.

"In that case, can we go to those two people you mentioned so I can see their condition?"

"Alright, Lithia I'll leave these documents to you, I will return soon after all of this done and help you," Sirzechs said to his wife.

"Hahhh... In the end I'm gonna be the one that handle all of this," Lithia looked at the numerous documents.

Sirzechs laughed when he heard his wife's words, then he kissed Lithia and walked towards me, standing next to me.

I could see a magic circle appear under our feet, it seemed like this was a teleportation magic that devils commonly used.

Not long, everything became blurry and we finally moved from this place to another.

After the teleportation was completed, I could see that we appeared in a room that looked like a hospital room.

Then I could also see a woman sleeping on the bed who looked thin, it seemed like she had been suffering from the sleep disease for a long time.

The woman had long brown hair styled to the side, similar to the usual milf hairstyle... or it could be said that the usual milf hairstyle that would soon die due to something.

"It seems like Sairaorg is not here," I heard Sirzechs speak as he approached the bed where the woman was sleeping.

I then followed Sirzechs to approach the bed, and finally, we both could see the woman up close.

"She is Misla Bael... the mother of Sairaorg Bael. Although they both have the Bael name, they are not officially recognized as Baels. Sairaorg was born without the Power of Destruction, so they were both always ostracized by their family...

until in the end, they were expelled to live in the countryside, and eventually Misla was afflicted with the sleep disease."

Sirzechs began to narrate the woman's past... I didn't even ask for any of this but suddenly he was telling her backstory. But at least I could compare her story to the vision I saw from Akasha.

He tell me that although Sairaorg did not have the ability of Power of Destruction, he had very high physical strength and would not lose to other child similar of his age.

Hmm, it sounds interesting. I now want to meet him and see his fighting abilities.

But that's for later, for now, I will focus on checking Misla Bael condition.

Hmm, from the outside, I didn't see anything different from a usual human body.

It would be better if I could cut her body open and check her insides as well...

I immediately shook my head as that thought suddenly came up. Damn my astral side I thought Fenrir had already cured me by punching me before...

"What's wrong? Can't Misla be healed?" Sirzechs asked me as he saw me suddenly shaking my head.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something," I replied to Sirzechs.

Because I didn't see anything wrong from the outside, I then lifted the blanket she was using and raised her shirt so I could see her stomach.

Sirzechs just remained silent as he saw this because he knew I was only checking on Misla.

I then placed my hand on her stomach and flowed my mana into her body to check the flow of her mana.

And not long after, I found the issue... something was blocking the flow of her mana, causing it not to fill her body.

All beings have mana flow within their bodies, and the difference between each being is how much mana they have and whether it is active or not.

When active, people can use their mana to do things like using magic or enhancing their bodies. But if it's inactive, mana is only used for their daily lives.

Mana is usually replenished when the user rests or eats and replenishes their energy, but Misla has something blocking her mana, making her unconscious.

"Europa, please lend me your strength."

After saying that, I closed my eyes to concentrate because Misla is a devil, so I couldn't use holy healing on her...

And because this was a disease not a wound I couldn't use the same technique I used on Vali before, so it's more effective to heal her by summoning Europa.

As I closed my eyes, Sirzechs could see a woman starting to appear above me.

The woman had short blonde hair and hair accessories, wearing a white dress and a glowing blue cloak behind her.

Sirzechs could sense that the aura from this woman was truly powerful... he never imagined there were so many people stronger than him.

After I felt that Europa had appeared, I then opened my eyes and released my hand that touching Misla's stomach.

I then looked above me and saw Europa floating with her eyes closed. After a while she slowly descended and in the end I caught her with a princess carry.

I then saw Europa slowly open her eyes and I could see her blue eyes.

"Finally you're awake Princess" I said to Europa with a smile.

"Ahhh... Dear, weren't you just leaving? Is this a dream? I didn't expect you to suddenly appear in my dream when you just left for a while" Europa spoke while caressing my cheek.

"Haha, too bad this is not a dream-..!?" Before I could finish my sentence, Europa suddenly kissed me aggressively.

Europa kissed me for a while until she stopped and looked back at me. "What a beautiful dream... to the point where I thought this is all real and not a dream."

I could still see my saliva slightly sticking on her lips after she kissed me...

"Europa, this is not a dream."

After I said that, Europa was silent for a while until she started speaking again.

"Eh?"

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

"*Cough* sorry for my behavior."

After realizing that this was not a dream, Europa quickly returned to her dignified nature, although it was a bit late.

"So what do you need from me, Dear?"

After that, I explained to Europa about the woman named Misla who was suffering from sleep disease, and I couldn't heal her because she is a devil that weak to Holy energy.

"Hmm, if that's all, I can do it easily," Europa agreed to help me heal Misla.

Europa then began to check in more detail Misla's body condition before starting the healing process.

"Your abilities are truly unique, Lucifer. Before, you could summon something that looked like a machine, but now, it's a beautiful woman," Sirzechs said to me.

"I'll record you saying that a woman who's not your wife is beautiful and send it to Lithia."

Sirzechs immediately panicked upon hearing me say that. "What!? Come on, you know I was just complimenting her appearance!? I didn't mean anything by it!"

Huh, I didn't expect Sirzechs to panic like this... just how terrifying is his wife if she gets mad?

"By the way, this sleep disease happened because her mana is blocked by something that's preventing her body from functioning normally," I informed Sirzechs.

"Mana? Oh, you mean demonic power? So something is blocking Misla's demonic power, causing her to pass out and get weaken continuously?" Sirzechs seemed to be thinking about something.

Demonic power? Ahhh it's basically just another name for mana. Hmm, meh I'm just going to use mana for the name because it's more efficient.

Suddenly the room was filled with a blue light emanating from Europa's cloak that starting to glow brightly.

"Thermo Fos."

Europa started to flow her blue energy into Misla's body to begin the healing process.

"This energy... I can't sense any trace of holy energy, but I can sense that this energy is so pure," Sirzechs observed his hand that get enveloped by the blue light.

"Yes, Europa is just a student of Gabriel, so she doesn't have Holy energy like the primarch angel," I informed Sirzechs.

Upon hearing the name Gabriel, Sirzechs looked shocked. "Gabriel!? You have Gabriel in your world too? Hmm, but it makes sense because you are Lucifer, so there must be a Gabriel in your world too."

Maybe I should tell them that my name isn't Lucifer but Rei... but it's strange, I thought they heard Grayfia call me Rei before.

Perhaps they think Rei is just a nickname for me, huh?

Before long, the blue light filling the room began to fade and eventually disappeared.

Europa's body also stopped glowing blue, and she finally raised her hand from Misla's body.

"It's done, Dear. I have repaired her body, so she should wake up soon," Europa turned back to me with a smile.

"Hmm, good job, Europa. But I still want to ask for your help once more since there is one more person I want you to heal."

"No problem, just leave it to me. I also like it when you depend on me and don't do everything yourself," Europa continued to pretend to use her dignified nature.

Before long, I could feel movement from Misla indicating that she would wake up soon.

"Oh, look, it seems she's waking up," I said to Sirzechs.

"I truly didn't expect you and your partner to manage to heal this disease," Sirzechs looked at Misla seriously.

After Misla opened her eyes, I could see her looking around as if searching for something.

"Sairaorg..." I could hear her hoarse voice.

I then summon a drink and gave it to her. "Here, sit down and drink this."

Misla slowly began to sit down, and I helped her to drink the beverage I gave her.

After a sip, she began to hold the glass by herself and finally finished it.

"This drink is so refreshing! I can feel my energy returning quickly," Misla looked surprised after finishing the drink.

"Well, now that you're healed, we can go to the next person," I remove the glass she was holding and turned to Sirzechs.

Since Misla had fully recovered, she could now observe her surroundings. She could see a beautiful blonde-haired girl and a very handsome silver-haired man... she had never seen a man with such a face before.

Then, she could see one of the Satan standing next to her...

"Eh, Lord Lucifer! What are you doing here!? I don't mean to be impolite, but what do you--" Misla started to panic after seeing one of the Satan standing next to her.

"Shh calm down Misla i will explain everything to you."

Sirzechs then began to explaining what happened to her and why the three of us here.
