Life 3. Pool day and Agares

Part 1

"So his name is Lucius…"

Both Phenex peerages and Lucifer-sama + Mikano (who was invited by Mint) are waiting on a pool somewhere inside the Agares territory on the Underworld.

We're here because it's the birthday of Lucifer's third protégé: the current heir of the Agares clan, Lucius. I'll finally get to know him after all this time!

"Yes, and I'm happy seeing Lucius again. At least a descent of Archduke Agares is descent…"

The one who said that was Silverage, who finally came back from his honeymoon with Ram. Well, seeing as he had plans for tomorrow with the rest of his peerage, it makes sense.

"You're saying that because of the former heir of Agares, Zwei, right?"

"Yeah, that idiot always insulted me because of my mixed blood. Why do you think I was that happy when I heard Nero killed him?"

Well, I do remember hearing he was happy when he heard Nero killed Zwei, but I believed it was because that meant his opponent was a strong guy. It looks like he's more than just a battle maniac.

"Just for the record, I always knew that Devil was a bad guy."

"You were an Exorcist; you believed every Devil was a bad guy."

Mint's flawless argument just killed Nero's self-praise. This man truly has a sharp tongue. Talking about straight to the point people…

"Jin, what are you doing?"

"Reading some porn magazines, why do you ask?"

"You know Lucius is just a kid and doing that will be inappropriate, right?"

"Just relax fella; everything will go fresh if you believe."

I don't even know what he's talking about anymore. For some reason, I'm starting to think he doesn't talk literally, like, never ever.

I'll just focus my eyes on the most important part of this pool, the sunbathing chairs. There are 4 beautiful topless girls lying on them.

"Can you apply me the oil on my back?"

I got a little nosebleed looking at this scene. Thanks gods for being able to witness this.

The first girl, Ellice, is getting oiled by Akai. Her breasts are unbeatable when it comes to size, at least on this group.

The second girl, Mikano, is getting oiled by Mint. Her breasts are small, but her slim figure is complemented by her butt.

The third girl, María, is getting oiled by Haruka. Both her breasts and butt are normal sized, but that means she's a complete experience.

The fourth girl, Ram, is getting oiled by Silverage. Her breasts are bigger than Mikano's or María's, but they still lose to Ellice's jumbo-sized breasts.

I'm so jealous of those four who already have girlfriends and can do ecchi stuff like that!

"When you said you were a pervert on the inside, you weren't lying."

Ham is the one to say that. And yeah, I told him that that time we spied on the third year girls on their dressing room.

Suddenly, Rina, who is topless, lays down on a fifth chair! What are you doing Rina?

"Can apply me the oil, Rito?"

Me?! I can apply you oil?! Thank you so much, Rina!

"Wait, why him and not me?"

Ham asks. Oh, shut up! You're envy I'm getting to do this!

"It's because Rito wearing only trunks is sexy."

I just got a déjà vu of our first meeting after my reincarnation into a Devil. Anyway, I'm going to make full use of this chance! I have been waiting to do this my whole teen-age!

I take the bottle and put its contents on my hands, before finally doing it, rubbing her back.

Everywhere I touch is soft and feels so elastic; this is a dream come true, because it's exactly like I always imagined! I think I'm crying and bleeding a lot from my nose right now!

"… Rito, you're overacting."

Ham says that. Shut up! You're just jealous you can't do this!

I just continued rubbing oil over her until I ended up fainting from the nosebleed. I'm so pathetic…

Part 2

Sometime after I woke up, Ram (with her top on) announces us something important.

"Prepare yourself, he's coming!"

After hearing that, we prepare for the arrival of the birthday boy. A magic circle appears, and two people come out of it. One of them is a blonde kid, while the other one is red haired woman.

"Happy Birthday!"

Wait a moment, I know this woman; I have seen her in books!

"Satanachia, thanks for bringing Lucius here."

"It wasn't a big deal, Lucifer-san."

That's Satanachia-san, Lucifer-sama's Bishop! It's an honour to finally meet her!

"Rito, if you dare to get close to her and act like you did with Lucifuge-sama, then you're sleeping outside tonight."

Oi! I cannot enjoy being a Devil now?!

Whatever Ram says, at least I'll get close to the birthday boy, Lucius Agares. If I had to guess his age, I'll say he's around 13 years old.

"So, Lucius, how old are you turning today?"

"I'm turning 12 today, sir."

Sir? I never expected to be called like that before graduating… or before being 30…

"It's okay if call me Rito."

"As you please, Rito."

This kid is pretty well educated, unlike most High-class Devils I have met: Seila is a diva, Silverage is a battle maniac, Ram has tsundere tendencies, and Tiffania… she's self-explanatory.

"As you should know, the 12th birthday is an important one for High-class Devils, as it's on this date you receive your [Evil Pieces]."

Oh yeah, Ram and Silverage told me about the day they got their [Evil Pieces]. Apparently, both of them reincarnated their Queen as soon as they got it.

"And like that, we're going to accompany Lucius to become a King."

Going by Lucifer-sama's orders, we go to an important place: the place to become a King.

Part 3

After holding the ceremony, Lucius holding his [Evil Pieces] can't stop looking at them.

"What are you thinking, Lucius?"

"If using these is really okay."

"What do you mean?"

Ram, who is confused by Lucius' words, asks that. For someone like her, [Evil Pieces] must be an elemental part of her life, so hearing someone questioning them must be too much to her.

"Taking beings from other races and forcing them to become Devils… I heard the story of what happened to Marg from Nii-san, so I doubt using them is actually right."

Let's see: Nii-san must be Zwei, since he's Lucius' older brother; Marg must be Marg Bael, Seila's older brother who was killed by his own Rook.

"Reincarnated Devils are abused by Pure-blooded Devils all the time… Nii-san was pretty abusive towards his peerage, Bartshift was too."

He means Bartshift as in Bartshift Glasya-Labolas, the younger brother of Wanheim Glasya-Labolas, heir of the Glasya-Labolas clan? I have only heard bad things about him.

That man bullied Silverage for being a mixed blood, abused his peerage because he was frustrated for not being the heir of his clan, and became a criminal who kills Church agents after the news of Zwei's death were known.

"Bartshift isn't exactly a good example-"

"That's my point."

Silverage's words get interrupted by this kid. Going by his look, his determination to tell his point of view is intense.

"Bartshift is a perfect example of a Devil who is abusive. He abused Reincarnated Devil just because they came from other races. We live for thousands of years, and so do Reincarnated Devils; is it fair for them to spend all that time being abused by someone just because that someone is a noble?"

This kid truly has a point. However, I feel there's something important I need to say.

"You're right, Lucius."

"Eh?! Rito, you're saying the exact opposite of what we're trying to teach him!"

Ram complains at me for what I just said. Maybe if you me let finish, you'll be able to understand what I'm saying this, woman! Wait, I'm not saying that aloud, she's going to be mad.

"No, Ram, Lucius is right. There are Devils like Marg, Zwei and Bartshift in this world; Devils who believe themselves to be above any other and don't see their peerage as anything but chess pieces they can move as they want to."

Just for the record, this first part of my argument is something we were taught at [Nephilim] about Devils, and caused me to have such a horrible first impression of them. However, this second half will come out from my true feelings, feelings I understood after being a Devil.

"However, there are also nice noble Devils like Ram and Silverage, who see their peerage as equals and even friends. Look at Rina and Akai over there; there were the Phenex's bridesmaid and best man, respectively of course. If we have this kind of relationship, what stops other High-class Devils from being the same?"

"That was so sweet, Rito."

And now you praise me? You are regretting shutting me up a moment ago don't you? …Oh my Devil King, I'm becoming Mint with all these sharp comments. Talking about that, he hasn't been that bold lately.

"I'll think about it."

Lucius just answers like that… I'm pretty sure this kid is either some kind of super genius or an amazing actor.

"Well then, I think we should enjoy the pool party and forget about everything else."

Lucifer-sama says that. Yeah, we got so distracted by talking about the morality of [Evil Pieces] that we forgot we were on a birthday party.

"Cannonball!"

As soon as the party actually started, Jin jumped straight to the pool. Ham gets close to the pool after him.

"So that's what an American can do, huh. I can do better."

Ham takes some distance and runs towards the pool while yelling something random.

"God Save the Queen!"

Ham jumps and suddenly becomes a giant! I forgot about he was able to change his size thanks to his [Sacred Gear], [Dimension Change]!

"Run as fast as you can!"

Mint says that while running at an incredible high speed. I think we should do that too!

A huge amount of water filled the place while we were running away! Sorry for leaving you behind, Jin! You'll be missed!
