I forced myself to appear overly-gloomy. "Y-Yeah, I knew... It's not like I can get any nice things or something for once."
"Can you stop being a fool for once, Clown?"
I shrugged at Sougyoku. "Dunno, can you stop being a tsundere if I do that?"
The instantaneous growl answered that question, but I found my act quickly ignored by the other side of the room.
"While I find this scene... amusing, I hope you understand that your sudden visit has created more problems."
Azazel nodded, still smiling from that faux exchange.
"Apologies indeed, I wasn't planning to make such an abrupt trip to Kuoh Town but… things happened. And I would like to discuss with the Underworld's representatives at once."
For some reason, I could tell that what happened to drive the Fallen Angel in the open to seek the audience with the Four Satans… it had to have been a massive issue I was just unaware about.
Hopefully nothing that truly messed things up for my current plans.
The room chosen for the meeting was the same one that first introduced the Three Factions' main leaders all together- just moments before the Khaos Brigade struck.
With the Maous having picked a couple of guards, three for each, it was just normal for the Governor-General of Grigori to make full displays of his own squad.
Being picked as one of Azazel's bodyguards during the meeting proved to be both a boon and a curse.
While I was given a close seat to the action, said seat was me standing up by one of the room's corners as the two Factions' leaders discussed two crucial elements.
The first was the new Garrison, which had been the main purpose behind the planned meeting.
The combined group was quick to go through this matter since most of the details had been discussed on previous occasions, but then again their attention was aimed more at the second problem, all because Azazel had decided to only hint to what had driven him out of his office and to ask an emergency session with the Four Satans.
"Are you certain of this news, Azazel?" Sirzechs was the first one to speak after the Fallen Angel was done delivering his explanation. .
"You know that what you're mentioning, if proved wrong, could simmer down a relationship we don't wish to shatter."
The rest of the Satans looked fairly grim as the Governor-General addressed the question with a nod.
"Sadly, that is indeed the case. And the reason why I'm sure of it is that the source of this information is one of the siblings." The man answered with a sigh.
"Two of Lucifer's children are trying to have their fiefs seceded from the Underworld."
"Wilbert didn't give off the impression of someone willing to part with the old system last reunion a couple of months ago," Ajuka pointed out calmly, still looking perplexed. "Why would he go through this difficult path?"
Wilbert? The name sounded familiar. Didn't Lucifer mention it?
No… I had heard of this name before… but where?
"Sapphire mentioned that he was growing restless now that the news of their oldest brother has joined forces with the Old Satan Faction.
He is a pacifist, but he is afraid that his current block of allies will do little against an attack from them."
"Still, it doesn't explain why he hasn't reached out for us," Serafall quipped. "Wilbert was never the kind of person that reacted this abruptly and without thought.
Do you have any possible reason that could've driven him to react so… boldly?"
…
He has the book.
I blinked at the sudden comment from Lucifer.
What?
Nothing. Nothing important for you, that is.
Can you at least tell me what is going on with your kids? Why do their names feel familiar?
Do you wish for me to sort out your memories? I'm sure you will remember where you heard of them quite soon.
I frowned at that dismissal, and I was glad that my inner struggle was well-hidden by my mask.
The conversation between the leaders progressed some more as I turned my attention back at them.
"We only believe that it might be related to his Gravity Magic," Azazel admitted with a nervous tone.
"Ajuka, you remember when we pondered about the chances of that power being behind Lucifer's strongest spell."
Gravity Magic, another hint to add at this situation about the bizarre names I had to digest.
"It could be a possibility," The Devil Researcher mentioned. "But then again, I believe the safe bet is any possible interest they might have in replicating Heaven's project by studying Raphaeline.
It's still a miracle that Michael hasn't nagged about having her returned."
"Who ever said they didn't try?" Sirzechs asked sarcastically. "They couldn't go beyond words, not with Sapphire ready to wage war if anything happened to her lover."
I felt my lungs forcefully compress as the third hint was added to the mix, something finally starting to form in my head as I connected dots.
Gravity Magic, Wilbert, Sapphire, and Raphaeline.
Wilbert, Sapphire, and Raphaeline.
Sapphire and Raphaeline.
Protagonist.
Harem.
Basara Toujou.
Devil and… Angel?
…Hero.
Oh Gods, no fucking way! You can't tell me that-
I've already shown you that this world isn't as small as you thought it to be. There are so many variables, so many twists and… so many words to address the myriad of species and races encompassing the globe.
S-Still, this is a big shot from anything I had expected until now. There is no way I'm ready to handle someone like your children. Heck, Rizevim was toying with me just a few weeks ago.
Which is why I don't want you to risk such a stupid move. They will not attack you if you don't give them a reason to hunt you down.
Easier said than done. I can tell where things are going to end with this conversation… and with the luck I have!
The discussion continued, but at this point I was detached from it. I had way too much to digest all at once from what I just learned from these few hints.
