New Life.

Part 1

"Well, this was a good session. You can leave now."

I just finished one of my training sessions in [Nephilim] with the rest of Azazel's Team. His sessions truly are tougher than Penemue-sama's.

"Rito, wait for a bit, I want to talk with you in private."

As Azazel-sama says that, I go with him while the rest of team leaves the place.

"I heard that Lucifer-kun is organizing a tournament, and that you are in it. Am I right?"

"Yes, Azazel-sama. Lucifer-sama told us that we must participate in a young Devils only [Rating Game] tournament."

"So... that Silverage Lucifuge is going to be your opponent?"

"Eventually."

Azazel-sama scratches his chin. Silverage mentioned that his name must be known by the Cadres of Grigori, and Penemue-sama seemed to be worried by something about him. Does it involve his title as the strongest young Devil? Or is it something else?

"If that's the case, then I ask you to be careful. He isn't someone you can underestimate."

So even Azazel-sama is worried… just what kind of power does Silverage have?

"On the other hand, I heard you were attacked by the Seven Sins again."

"Yes, Envy attacked the Fairy Kingdom while we were there."

Those Seven Deadly Sins. They were the ones who killed Penemue-sama. I'll never forgive them for that.

"Well, there's no need to worry. I heard the current Fairy Queen is already making treaties with the Church so they can help her to rebuild. Ha, a Fairy Queen, since the Fairies have always been so sexist, I never expected to see such thing."

"Did you meet with the others Fairy Kings, Azazel-sama?"

"I even met the first one, he clearly hated other species; he even went as far to create a spear with the properties to destroy other kinds of magic just to fight with us."

[King's Spear]… Fairies truly are incomprehensible to me.

"Well, it was nice to talk with you Rito. Just be sure to take care of the Seven Sins."

Envy said that it wasn't the last we would see The Seven Deadly Sins. They clearly are keeping an eye on us…

Part 2

I'm inside Mint & Ham's bedroom, with both of them looking closely at me. They told me to come here as soon as I returned from [Nephilim], so I want to know why they want that.

"Rito, there's something we need to understand."

"What is it?"

"While fighting against Envy, you used Fairy magic. Only Fairies can use that. How was it possible?"

"[Number XVII], my Trump Card."

"What do you mean?"

"[Number XVII]'s ability is to copy other people's powers. How do you think I'm able to do the Holy Lightning when Baraqiel isn't my family?"

Both Ham and Mint are flabbergasted, so I just put a mischievous smile.

Seven Sins

I, the second in command of The Seven Deadly Sins, the sin of Wrath, am waiting for Envy's report.

"So, what are you going to tell us?"

I look at her with an angry look, but I can see Pride is rather calmed.

"I made the pact with the Fairy King Lavender Borrow; however, the peerage led by the Devil Ram of the Phenex Clan found a way to overthrow him."

"I told you that if that little bastard were to lose his title as the king, you should kill the Fairies."

"I tried, but Ram Phenex's peerage was able to stop my plans."

Pride seems to be laughing. I'm pretty sure I know the reason.

"You were right Wrath; Lucifer-ossan's protégés are indeed special."

"We're going to forgive you, Envy, but if you fail again, we aren't going to go easy on you again."

"Thanks… Magnus."

"You're welcome, Caitlin."

Pride now seems to be mad, and a huge red aura is covering his body.

"[Balance Break]."

The armour of the Red Dragon Emperor, [Scale Mail], now covers Pride's body.

"I said that we would never call each other by those names! But… why do I feel like I'm forgetting something?"

[You are, partner. You said that if they ever did that, you would show them why you're the leader.]

"Thanks for the reminder, Ddraig. Now them…"

He starts preparing a mass of red energy from his torso! That's the [Longinus Smasher]!

Both I and Envy run away from Pride before he releases the power of the Welsh Dragon.
