CHAPTER 3

GRAUZAUBERER

YEAR XXXX

Paralyzed.

No.

More like numb.

Yeah.

Numb.

This is how Lelouch described the state of his body.

He could feel all his limbs and parts of his body in which he could exert the will to move, but unfortunately he was unable to do anything with them.

Unfortunately his 5 senses cannot be in this state, so he could avoid what is happening right now.

His witch is giving him a look that promised verbal pain and punishment.

To his surprise, Lavinia showed genuine concern, guilt and regret. Why, until now she has only shown aggression towards herself, why should she worry now?

Almost last was Mephisto, who had an expression that he tried to hide, but he knew it well, it was a mask of security hiding frustration and nervousness, Lelouch has seen it several times, when he faced the leaders of some army, to trying to breed security for his soldiers and a stupid attempt to give false hope to a losing battle, or sometimes he was the one using it whenever Nunally was manipulated into her crusade against him when they made her viceroy. At least that's hidden with the scolding he's about to give her.

Although Lelouch did not know Mephisto at all, the latter was not one of those who tried to hide things such as some serious situation, something would have to happen to him for his current state of mind to be like this.

Without a doubt it must have been because of the other man and the only person he doesn't know in the room, who stands in the corner away from everyone and at the same time must have been able to hear the conversation.

Lelouch didn't know who this guy was, but something told him that he was related to Mephisto in some way and the worst thing is that he feels that now he is going to get involved with him in some way.

What was his name? She couldn't understand it when she woke up.

.

Diehauser Belial has witnessed many things.

He saw the fight between the faction leaders.

NOTE: The Maous like (Sirzechs, Ajuka, Serafall and Falbium) were born before and fought during the great war, I don't remember if it was already like that, but in this fic I leave it this way, in the same way Ruval (the older brother of Riser and Ravel) and Diehauser, are the age of the Maous

He saw those same leaders drop like flies when two beings of incredible power appeared, interrupting their combat.

Their leaders fell as if they were nothing.

He witnessed the end of the great war back then, only to know his race was in ruins.

In the end they ended up fighting among themselves, because he saw how everyone wanted to follow two different ideologies, which resulted in their species now being not even a shadow of what it was before.

Even having 'monsters as two leaders among their ranks.

He witnessed when one of those 'monsters' gave him the title of champion after winning the tournament to find out who 'gave' his creation the best.

Finally, he witnessed how some members of the Bael clan gave him the body of his cousin, whom he treated like a little sister for many years.

Lifeless.

The only thing they told him when he wanted to intervene and participate in the investigation was:

"She is involved in a relationship with a church agent, the leaders tried to take action with dialogues, but the other side went ahead with it by being more… extreme"

It didn't take a genius to line everything up and come to a conclusion, the church took matters into its own hands.

That would be all a demon should know to leave something behind.

Unfortunately that would be any demon, and Diehauser is anything but that.

He knows that there was something involved in this, not just a forbidden love affair between 2 completely different beings, if that were the case the murder would not have had to happen.

The church can be drastic, but never like this. Besides that, why did the Bael even intervene and were the ones who broke the news, the Belial, their clan, were the ones who ran the territory of Kuoh, it was even their cousin who took the initiative to have conversations with the church?, like this a would have genuine support and cooperation with his 'sworn enemies'.

Something was wrong with that, so behind the backs of the leaders and especially the Bael clan took action on the matter, unfortunately it has a delicate reputation.

But he doesn't say it for himself, he says it for his parents and his remaining relatives and the entire Belial clan.

He would do anything for them, it was only because of those people that he obtained the necessary motivation to reach the top of the rating games tournament, returning all the years of care and love that his home gave him in the form of prestige and glory.

That didn't sit well with some demons who were willing to 'help' in other ways. From what he knows, many of them want to see him make some mistake to take advantage of him and make his family vulnerable.

It is for these reasons that he came to Grauzauberer, to see if Mephisto could help him and ask any of his magicians to do 'favors' for him.

However, there was an unforeseen event, the boy lying in the middle of the room.

The first impression you get of someone is the physical aspect, and the boy's physique is so to speak 'thin', in fact he is quite thin, followed by his features, brown to almost black hair with purple eyes, because of that At one point he thought it was someone from the Bael clan and due to the power of the spell he could have been a half-demon half-breed, but after Mephisto's inspection of him, the fact that he does not feel the slightest demonic power made it clear that he is only a human. pure.

Yet their signs indicated something only he and other demons could distinguish, an air of nobility. If this child seems to be some kind of noble, the way he reflects only fun and achievement in the face of the complaints and claims of the people around him only indicates arrogance, not rather charisma, but a charisma that only someone would have. that he knows how to handle himself in front of crowds, that is enough for Diehauser to know before him that there is a noble species belonging to some house, European if his features indicate anything.

That's all he can deduce from his physical features, it would be missing to have a complete impression and it would be better in a conversation, which will be soon, since from what he can see Mephisto started using basic to heal him, after giving him a scolding, which young man seemed to completely ignore, but seemed surprised by Mephisto's healing magic.

While he wasn't the best at it, you don't get to run a wizard guild knowing only one type of magic.

Now you can take advantage of this.

.

Lelouch was quite surprised, first of all he had been numbed by his 'experiment', what followed was having lost consciousness and then waking up in what he supposed to be the infirmary with CC, Lavinia and Mephisto who was giving him a complaint and scolding. along with a man he didn't know, but seeing that Mephisto doesn't show any complaint, it must be the other demon he was having his meeting with.

Now that Mephisto finished and used that kind of spell to 'heal' him, he feels like he can finally do something, but before that.

"If you want to die or at least feel pain, you can talk about it before doing that trick of yours again." Lelouch could only roll his eyes at the witch's comment of his, but that wasn't all he had to say. "Plus look, you put little Lavinia in danger and now she feels guilty because she thinks she was the one who forced you to do that."

After saying those words, he gave the aforementioned woman a slight push so that she was the one closest to Lelouch's bed, who continued with the same look of regret and guilt, but there was also a small spark there, one that he wanted to express. apologies

"Lelouch I...wanted...to say...I'm sorry for everything I've-"

Before he could formulate another word (which he was totally failing at), the former emperor interrupted him.

"Look Lavinia, I know you probably feel guilty because when you insulted and teased me a little I felt forced to make that decision, but that didn't give me the motivation to want to do that spell using my eyes." The last thing Lelouch wanted was to make Lavinia feel worse about him, whether angry or sad.

Unfortunately she is still a child and luckily for her they are known for being quite stubborn when they want something. In Lavinia's case, Lelouch accepts her apology and can forgive her for how he has treated him since they met and for making her end up in that state according to her.

"No Lelouch! You know that's not true, I've been horrible to you since we met, even when you've always been trying to give me an apology for our disagreements, but I've just refused to acknowledge those gestures and told you." "away." It was true, Lavinia has only gotten to know Mephisto, CC and Lelouch since she separated from her former caretaker and while they have had differences, but that doesn't mean that Lavinia wanted bad things to happen to Lelouch.

However, the latter, upon hearing Lavinia's words, was completely surprised. He never expected that from Lavinia, rather he believed that she was going to hate him more or criticize him because she was in the room when he did the spell in that way, deserving and obtaining a punishment or karma for all the things he's done, but he was wrong about that, he could actually feel CC's gaze on him, as well as checking and assuring something he was fearing.

"You don't have to worry if you think you hurt us in some way, in fact they managed to stop the spell before it got out of control any longer." At what CC said, the former emperor turned his gaze towards Mephisto, but to his surprise he just shook his head.

"No Lelouch, you shouldn't thank me, because I had nothing to do with that, the truth is that the person who managed to stop you is an old acquaintance, but where I come from he is a celebrity, allow me to introduce you to Diehauser Belial, the current ratings champion. games and leader of the Belial." Now with that said Lelouch directed all of his attention towards the last occupant of the room.

He was a man with an elegant face who has gray hair and gray eyes, his clothing for Lelouch is quite extravagant, it reminded him of the clothing designs made by his older sister Guinevere, the 'Marie Antoinette' of the empire, after all. He was wearing clothes that would make him attract a lot of attention, apart from having part of his well-worked chest and abs exposed, and if we add the first to that, he would be someone quite desired by women.

Unfortunately for Lelouch, when he heard from Mephisto that he said he came from the same location, something became clear to him, he was also a demon like his 'teacher', but apparently he doesn't have to worry so much, since Mephisto's attitude is quite calm. , on top of that he is quite protective of his magicians when there is someone from 'outside' the guild involved.

However, Lelouch had to put his thoughts aside when he saw that the one now identified as Diehauser approached until he was right next to Mephisto.

"…" However, when she exchanged glances with Lelouch he had not said any words, in fact they both only had a fixed gaze on the other, they were analyzing each other with Lelouch trying to know what the demon was looking for.

Without realizing it, this collision was causing a slight suffocating air to begin to spread through the room, with Lavinia getting nervous about it and beginning to feel uncomfortable, CC had a conflicted look on her face and her body became tense, finally Mephisto who was calm and had a relaxed expression began to grimace and his body would occasionally tense up due to the environment.

Once the two exchanged glances it was as if they began to measure each other, violet collided with gray.

For the first time since he came to this world, Lelouch met a demon that represented power.

"I ended up doing it pretty early, and my idea was to try to keep a low profile and avoid the big shots of this world."

Those were Lelouch's thoughts, apart from that he couldn't help but feel nervous, since he is finally meeting someone else who is not human.

Instead he is a being of the race of his 'master/guardian/caretaker' or whatever term Mephisto uses to say that he and CC are his responsibility.

The point is that, unlike Mephisto, who is someone relaxed and liberal, he has never met another demon, and you can feel a big difference between the presence of both.

Mephisto is passive and you don't feel like he's trying to oppress you just by being around you.

But the man who was next to him was a different story, his presence was dense and oppressive, it felt like you were seeing someone from royalty for the first time in your life and you instinctively felt like kneeling so as not to disrespect him, that was it. a civilized way of explaining it, on the other hand it felt like being in the presence of an incredibly strong and terrifying creature, like if you made the slightest wrong move it would attack you and you wouldn't know it killed you until it was too late.

Those were undoubtedly the first impressions that Lelouch was able to get now that he had him closer and could focus more on the man, but, there was more.

There was something in his eyes.

Something that was quite familiar to Lelouch.

Pain.

There was pain in his eyes, but it wasn't just any pain.

It was one that Lelouch is quite familiar with.

After all, he was in his mirror several times, when Suzaku gave him to his father along with Nunally, to 'protect' her from him and his memories were changed, fortunately CC helped him recover them, but the damage was done, every time When she woke up and looked at herself, she could see the disappointment and pain she felt for having failed Nunally and the fact that her friends at the academy with the exception of Nina had forgotten her.

Those same emotions were what he could see in the eyes of the demon in front of him, so he also had a similar situation, this is interesting now.

"Greetings young apprentice, while I regret that our first impressions must be made in such a non-formal situation, I hope that we can see each other in a new light in the future." Diehauser's voice was soft and kind, as if you were tempted to trust him by instinct.

That is something that Lelouch would do, luckily for him, since he knows that he is a demon, he knows that he should not let himself be tempted by its simple voice. Mephisto had to make it clear to him that his species can easily tempt any other creature using a few simple words. even actions, I also mention that with humans it is much easier to do it.

Therefore, Lelouch had to hold back any friendship or be relaxed in the conversation or else the being in front of him would take advantage and he would end up getting into something. "There is no need for an apology from you Lord Diehauser, on the contrary, I am the one who should apologize, after all I understand that someone of your status and reputation would have a busy schedule and the fact that you have helped me could have wasted some of your time" . Although Lelouch does not want to be involved in something, he must remember that this is no longer his world and the fact that he can possibly be easily eliminated by this man in front of him must maintain a posture of someone grateful and passive.

Although that is a bit complicated for his sarcasm and cynicism towards upper class people, unfortunately for him Mephisto told him that all powerful demons are in that category, but at the same time there are some that are not what you would expect from one, for which for now is not going to give passive-aggressive comments on that.

To his surprise Diehauser remained calm and did not show a reaction as expected. "Don't worry young man, my schedule has been free so my 'valuable' time was not wasted with that display of power of yours, in fact, I am impressed by something like that, it is not every day you see and meet a human capable of performing "A spell with so much raw power, Mephisto has been teaching well if someone like you is capable of doing something like that." Diehauser's words were sincere, as well as relaxed and soft, if there was any lie Lelouch didn't notice it or the hidden good behind the sincerity.

While the other occupants thought that this was going to end badly, they were able to calm down and breathe easier, but it was only Lavinia who was like this at all, since CC and Mephisto still did not completely trust Diehauser's attitude, one because he has already seen and lived this situation a lot of times and the other because he knows that a demon like Diehauser would not act like this with anyone he didn't know, even more so knowing the reason why he came here.

The reason why he came here.

Mephisto opened his eyes in surprise and fear, watching Diehauser carefully and then looking towards Lelouch. Did he become interested in his plan?

While Mephisto began to think about the worst, CC had thoughts that were just as fearful, but not because she knows the same as Mephisto, she has never met a demon, however, the way he acted did know her, the man in front of her. his warlock was waiting for an opportunity, to offer something to Lelouch or have Lelouch offer him something to take advantage of it.

Because they were both deep in thought, they had not realized that Lelouch and Diehauser had now changed their topic of conversation and from their tones of voice it was being a pleasant conversation, apart from the fact that Lavinia had gained courage and approached to hear.

"…So the castling rule is literal in the rating games, it seems that they take chess more seriously than I thought." Although Lelouch knew the main thing about rating games thanks to Mephisto, he was not going to miss the opportunity to learn from the champion himself.

Which had no problem giving him that information when answering the questions asked by Lelouch. "Actually the rating games are almost the same at a certain point, but it does not mean that a king should limit himself or should remain stagnant with his basic moves and strategies." The presentation that he had started with quite a bit of tension was able to calm down and now they were calm, but that doesn't mean that one of them trusted the other, they barely knew each other.

Lavinia, who had no clear idea of what they were talking about, could only listen carefully to what the two men shared.

Furthermore, the atmosphere between them was strange, on the one hand I could tell that they were old acquaintances who had met after a long time, but on the other hand they looked like two opponents who were measuring each other and looking for a way to take down the other.

And unfortunately for her, she is the one who is currently caught between them.

Fortunately Mephisto was able to put aside those thoughts he had about Diehauser and decided to act to try to keep Lavinia away from whatever was going to happen between Lelouch and Diehauser, unfortunately he had to be a little rude since he would be interrupting a conversation that seemed to be going well. course.

"*Cough-cough*, gentlemen may I have your attention." With the 2 men who were talking, they stopped abruptly and turned their attention to Mephisto, who had to avoid getting nervous from the looks of both of them, but he had to end this. "While I appreciate that the two of you are starting to get along well, I remind you that one of you has a tight schedule and should be elsewhere, not to be rude Diehauser, but it would be better if you left the guild and went back to work there." your business that you want to create." Mephisto had to sound as courteous and polite as possible, but this would be the best he could do so that Lelouch would not get involved in the possible madness that Diehauser wants to start, he already has a very delicate contract with Lelouch and prefers to keep it that way.

Apparently Diehauser also managed to understand the message, so he had to start saying goodbye. "You're right Mephisto, I think I've been in this place longer than necessary." This time his words came out rather regretfully, but at least he wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. "Lelouch, it was a pleasure to meet you, you and your partner are people of quite interest, if you were not apprentices and just initiated into this world, it would have been likely that I would have you as a pact mage, bearer of absolute demise, make sure you take care of yourself and "To strengthen yourself, right now you have an artifact of great power, but at this moment you are weak to use it, I suggest you start training and thus ensure a good life without danger." He had to turn his attention to CC and then to Lavinia to finally bow his head a little in farewell. "Mephisto, would you be so kind as to take me to your office and finish our procedures." The director of Grauzauberer only nodded at her words and left with the man from the infirmary.

"…"

Once alone, the witch of the group approached Lelouch, but once they were face to face, she didn't say anything, she just gave Lelouch a look, however the latter decided to ignore her, which bothered her, he was close to her. about to say something, but Lelouch was faster.

"That demon…Diehuser, had the same look as me." He said in a melancholy tone and a bitter expression.

CC stopped abruptly at what Lelouch had just said, then a look of pity formed on his face, he knelt in front of Lelouch and took his hand in his giving him encouragement and comfort. Lavinia saw that along with Lelouch's expression, although she did not know his story, she wanted to encourage him, in a way to compensate for the treatment he has been giving her these last few days, so she slowly approached the couple and put her little hand on Lelouch's shoulder.

Meanwhile in Lelouch's mind, the latter thought about the expression that Diehauser had and how it reminded him of the moment he lost Nunally and had his episodes of when he became a mass murderer and lost all his closest friends. . The only consolation he had were the arms and love that CC gave him in those moments, since it also served as motivation and told him that he couldn't stop now, that at that moment he had to continue with his contract and achieve his plan.

But now he was here, in an unknown world, of which creatures from myths and legends exist and walk among humans, a world where he has nothing to gain and little to lose, Mephisto told him that if he wanted power here it was worth a lot. , that it would not take long for someone like him to achieve that power and make a name for himself, but at this moment I make it clear to him that he has stagnated and that mentally he is in limbo, whether he wants to succeed or wants to be punished and recriminated for his actions .

"If you have any idea for the future you should think about it well, furthermore we are no longer in our original world, we should not solve the problems of others, although we are not currently beings of great power that does not mean that we should offer ourselves to anything that is presented to us ". CC explained to him that although she supported him in everything, that does not mean that she will completely agree with her decisions, she will have to take care of him.

Just like in her early days as a revolutionary, she would have to take care of him and prevent him from doing crazy things, like this one she just did.

Turning his head he could see the look of little Lavinia, to calm her he separated one of his hands from Lelouch's and took the girl's and then gave her a soft smile, that way he could give her a feeling of calm and prevent her from going into trouble. panic because of what he said about his origins.

But before he continued with that, Lelouch stood up immediately, luckily he was wearing a guild uniform, so he wouldn't have to worry about being naked, but getting back to the topic he prepared to leave the room to go to a place where specific, I just hoped it wasn't too late.

Unfortunately for him, he felt someone grab his wrist, he didn't have to turn around to know who it was.

Furthermore, now he feels deja vu with this situation.

"You know, we have already experienced this situation and we both know how it ended, there is no need to repeat it, plus little Lavinia is present here." Although the last of the occupants had no idea what was happening, that does not mean that she is nervous about all of this.

"Yes, but in this case things are very different, even now I can take you down without problems." CC didn't care about her comments, she would have to stop him from doing something stupid.

"So...you're going to hurt me just to stop me."

"You are already accustomed to the pain, I would say that this would be something mild, and you would recover in several seconds."

"Wow, since when do you have the pleasure of hurting me, I would remember something like that about you."

While the couple had this 'discussion' Lavinia could only remain silent because of these events, was this her way of showing affection? She didn't know what to do, she felt that if she spoke and interrupted this would be something bad.

Luckily for her it seemed that the conversation was already ending, CC let go of Lelouch's hand and said a few last words to him.

She had a look that reflected both concern and disgust at what Lelouch plans to do. "This is no longer our home, it is not even your old nation, no matter how much resemblance you find to the devilish society, this is going to be much more dangerous." This is quite similar to the beginning of him as the character of Zero, overconfident and with high regard for his wit and charisma.

Lelouch only limited himself to giving him a look, but this slowly turned into an expression of arrogance that expressed having everything under control. "Don't worry, this should be something temporary, I'll think of something in the future, but I hope it's not too late." While his expression reflected one thing, the tone of his voice said another, as he tried to reflect relief and comfort to CC.

With those words he decided to leave the room and go to the only place where he can find a pass of safety and protection, and at the same time, obtain a position of power in this world.

Mephisto himself had said, the only thing that will prevent your death on this side of the world is power.

So right now you need to start gathering it and preparing for everything.

.

Once he was outside Mephisto's office, he must stop to think, what he is about to do may turn out to be a blessing.

Or else it would backfire and he would have one more curse than he already has.

"*sigh* Here we are starting a new game."

KnockTock

"Whoever is outside I must ask you to leave, I specifically asked that I should not be interrupted at this time."

Yes, he knew he would get that answer, but only from Mephisto, not from the other person inside the room.

"I'm afraid, Director, that although this applies to you, it does not have the same effect on the other person who is currently keeping you company, if he is still present." He didn't need to be inside the office to get an idea of the demon's expression.

In addition to that, a few seconds later I hear the door lock being unlocked, but I don't hear anyone's movements, certainly magic seems to be convenient, however this kind of use makes it look like a way of being lazy.

Well, maybe I'll leave that thought for another time, right now there is something that you have to offer and that you hope to achieve.

Taking the lock, Lelouch entered the office, and his target was right there, in front of Mephisto and sitting, now he smiled. "Mr. Diehauser, it's good to see that he is still present in the guild."

Fortunately the latter seems to somehow perceive Lelouch's plans. "Actually, A was about to leave young, but it seems like you have something to tell me if you somehow ignored the slow recovery to come here." While his tone was cordial and friendly, Lelouch knew that was not true.

Enough talks, discussions, competitions and encounters with nobles from his world helped him develop several things, among them an ability to see between the lines, Lelouch would know when someone wants to hide something from him in a conversation and at the same time know what they want to hear in this.

Although Lelouch would love to play and have that conversation, the demon in front of him had a tight schedule and without a doubt it would be best to get straight to the point, even though that is something he would not do, but how was that sentence like this:

'He who does not bet does not win'

"In fact sir, you are right, to begin with I must applaud you for maintaining that mask of tranquility of yours for a long time, not everyone in the world manages to maintain one after having recently lost something or rather someone, that is to be admired." While Lelouch knew he was treading on dangerous ground he hoped to at least get the man's attention.

Which he obtained because right now the man's expression, which was one of calm and little interest, now became neutral and serious, that made him nervous, and he also began to feel terrified.

Although as much as it hurts, only his father and VV caused him this sensation, but this is different, different. While his uncle and his father might be terrifying, they were only human, well his uncle was immortal, but she was originally a human, and this being in front of him was not, he was totally different. Although when she met him in the room for the first time she felt like a calm and calculating creature, but right now that creature became something that she couldn't describe exactly, but the closest thing would be, a mass of evil that would devour her being. .

"Is this a demon?"

Luckily for Lelouch, Diehauser decided to lower the intensity of his power and say some words to him that would bring him out of his terrified state. "Young man, I think you should choose your next words carefully, I would hate to see someone so young and who I find incredible potential waste his life interfering with other people's affairs." His words were true, he was getting into demonic affairs, something that did not concern a 'human' like him, but he is not a human at all.

With those words and reminder of his situation, Lelouch managed to calm down and return to the conversation. "I was called the demon emperor and now I am in front of one, this, far from intimidating me, should be trivial to me, I was already surrounded by people who threatened me and lied too much." Now Lelouch had to continue convincing the demon, but this time he would have to release nostalgia for his past. "You, sir, could have experienced a situation similar to mine, something terrible happened and a being or several beings that were special to you could have been involved in a horrible way." Lelouch's smile faded along with his kind tone, replaced by a look that would be a deep tone of voice that represented resentment. "I also know the feeling, that of seeing the lifeless body of those involved, how helplessness invades you knowing that you couldn't do something to avoid it and at this moment the only thing you want to do is get the answers to know what happened." Lelouch could feel that at least his life was not in danger, since that kind of 'mass' did not replace Diehauser, which meant that he now had his interest. "But there comes what I undoubtedly hate the most, the obstacles, the lies and the scams, the ones that do not allow you to act on your own, knowing that you would be the first person to fix things and see the truth, but as I said there are the damn obstacles that they don't want to tell you, the least they will tell you will be: 'it's okay, we have it under control', or 'don't worry, we'll find out what happened', unfortunately those same people who promised you that may be the same ones who caused the loss." . With that said, he saw that Diehauser's face returned to his expression of disinterest, although there was still a hint of seriousness. "Mr. Diehauser, this work that I mentioned above is directly or indirectly related to the tragedy you suffered in some way, because if so, let me tell you that I will gladly accept the proposal you have."

Although this statement would shock anyone, Diehauser was not just anyone, so unlike the other occupant of the room, Mephisto, who was somewhat shocked, decided to continue with Lelouch's game. "Tell me, what do you hope to get out of this, and what motivated you to propose this to me?"

While Lelouch despises his mother at this point and no longer feels entirely worthy of mentioning Nunally, he must make Diehauser accept his deal. "I lived in a small village in my country, belonging to royalty, with my mother and… younger sister." Although he tried to hide it, Lelouch could tell how Diehauser shifted uncomfortably at the last part, well, he guessed it right. "We didn't have problems with anyone as far as I knew at that time, but one day like any other, I was somewhere in the village, when out of nowhere the sound of cars braking and the door of the mansion being violently opened, All of that was finished off by the sound of several bullets fired, specifically towards a location, the stairs where apparently the bodies of my mother and sister were located, when I saw them there I could feel that my whole world was falling apart and then what I wanted most "It was for someone to give me a solution." Although he was not going to say all the details, this had to make him look like someone traumatized who did not want to remember such a fatality. "And as I said before, the solution I asked for never came due to certain 'obstacles' that held me back. "That would be enough for him to accept me for his assignment." Now that it's over, he only has to wait for Diehauser's decision. He could also feel Mephisto's penetrating gaze. Apparently the director feels that he will indirectly be involved in this.

He was brought out of his thoughts by Diehauser's voice. "Young Lelouch, I think this would not be the best place to discuss an agreement between the two of us, but I know a certain town that has a coffee shop, I also hope that your teacher and principal does not accompany." Lelouch just gave him a smile, while Mephisto let out a heavy sigh, but in the end he nodded. "But first, answer me, are any of the ladies who were with you coming?" They both knew who he was referring to.

Lelouch, who continued with his smile, gave him another nod, but first he had to clarify something. "I'm afraid the lady coming with us will only be the one with green hair, I think we all agree that little she should keep her distance from this." She could see how Mephisto relaxed considerably with what she said, apparently he doesn't want to involve a girl like Lavinia in this.

Receiving a nod from Diehauser, he replied, "That's acceptable. I don't want to involve someone with fragile potential yet." The demon approached, raising his hand towards Lelouch, who did the same and then like gentlemen they shook. "Please call her friend, I'll have things ready in a few hours, oh and make sure you travel light." With those last words he let go of Lelouch's hand and left the office.

Leaving the young man with the other demon present, who was giving him an annoyed look, apparently he didn't like anything that Lelouch did, however the latter only gave him a half smile, facing the demon's annoyance with one of his best/worst qualities, your ego.

Also for him, this didn't seem so bad, it's not like it affected him psychologically.

.

.

.

He was wrong.

This looked bad and it does affect him psychologically.

He could see CC's face to realize that this may have been a bad idea.

Of all the places to start, it had to be the same one where his life had taken direction and his revenge began.

Japan.

It seems that even in this new world your plans will have a twist that ends up either stressing you out or trying to ruin your life.

And he hates that.

At least the place is fine, Diehauser was right besides, it would be better to discuss in this place that seems more comfortable.

Seeing a waitress pass by him, he asked her for something, also ignoring the clear blush on her face. "Miss, could you bring me the dessert menu?" The young girl gave her a nod and decided to go for her request. Lelouch earned different looks from the other members of the table, to which he just smiled and said. "Well, I'm not the one paying right now, plus a simple dessert won't bankrupt anyone."

The only good thing I would have about this would be some good food. Maybe he's also willing to take a little walk, he doesn't know why, but he wants to walk and see how different this Japan is, and he was already getting bored of always seeing the guild structure.

.

.

.

Only.

This was how he felt right now.

Those were the thoughts of a person.

Specifically a child, small no more than 10 years of age.

Currently the little one was in one in the fountain in the town park.

The problem that this causes for the young man is that several days have passed since his only friend left, since then he has been alone all the time. Although he has classmates at school, they were just that, classmates.

Adding to the fact that he is not a social butterfly at all, his life is very lonely. Apparently her friend left her because her family had to leave the city for her father's job.

The only thing they left him were some gifts, for his parents it was a kind of crystal that his father hung in the room with his mother, meanwhile he received a rare silver bracelet, which he has right now on his left arm, which He will take care of it with everything he has.

"Why are you alone little one, shouldn't you go with your friends?"

The boy was brought out of his shocked thoughts by the voice of a person, to be more precise, the voice of a woman, who had her back to him, but, there was something strange in that voice, something that scared him a little. bit.

Being a bundle of nerves, the boy turned around to meet the woman who owned that voice, and what a surprise he got.

After all, she may be so far the most beautiful woman I have ever met, dark brown hair, she had beautiful dark purple eyes that had a great amethyst shine, not to mention that the woman had a body that in simple words, was for to die for, hips and waists so thin that they would make her movements when walking hypnotic, legs that have a perfect balance between slim and thick, lastly there is the enormous bust that she has, it was large in size and seemed to be a combination between firm and soft, and the clothing he wears does not help hide his physique.

After all, the only thing she was wearing was a dress that at first glance looks incredibly expensive, which is left open on the sides where her legs can be seen, returning with the top part, the dress was strapless and left the view her shoulders and the top of her enormous breasts.

The young boy would have been amazed at the sight that many men would kill for.

Unfortunately the boy, instead of being captivated by the woman's beauty, felt nervous and felt a hint of fear arising in him, there was something about this woman that screamed 'danger'.

"Uh-actually, I-I already had to go home, my family is waiting for me and they said to avoid strangers." The boy stuttered because of the nerves that this woman caused him, and without realizing she was taking a step back at a time to leave the place.

To his bad luck this woman seemed to insist on staying close to him, so she kept a firm and slow pace to approach the child, like a predator playing with its food. "But I'm not a stranger, dear, I'm just a woman who was looking to have a date with someone lucky, you could be, go with me through this town without any hassle, and we could even enjoy some dessert that they sell nearby, there's no reason to be nervous." The woman's tone was sweet and suggestive on many levels, anyone could fall under the tone of her voice, but this only made the boy want to get further away from the woman, so he turned his back on her and prepared to increase the intensity. distance with the woman. "Come on kid, I just want to have a good time, it will be good for both of us, there is no reason to stand me up." The boy's action seemed to cause slight discomfort to the woman, since although he did not see it, her action generated a twitch of annoyance in his eyebrow.

The infant just wanted to get home, back in the arms of his mother and father, both protecting him from whatever happened to this woman, this would also be easier if Rin were here, he could tell his own parents if something bad happened to them. happened, they were very protective of her after all, but he only left her a bracelet, which right now he took off from her wrist and held it with great strength in his hand. On top of that, why is there no one on the streets, it's not even that late for everyone to go to his house?!

The boy would have continued to flee, but his path was blocked because something got in his way, causing him to crash and fall into a sitting position. When he looked up to see what he hit himself with, his heart stopped for a second due to fear. "How did he move so fast?" What he collided with was actually the terrifying woman, but that didn't make sense, since he was sure that she had left a great distance between them.

The woman now had an annoyed look on her face. "Incredible, it seems that humans like to waste good opportunities, well, it seems that I will be the only one who can enjoy this, be grateful child, someone of great lineage will give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience, now come here." After her statement he took the child by his right arm, at first glance it seemed that he grabbed him gently, but for the child the grip was the most painful thing he had ever experienced, he felt that if he squeezed his arm any more, it would break. "Don't start crying, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this before you know it, aaaahhhh!" Before he could do more, the boy had grown tired of the pain and instinctively wanted to release the woman's arm using her own hand, however he forgot that her bracelet was in her hand.

The boy had an idea why he reacted that way, it seemed that it hurt a lot, he just touched it with his friend's bracelet, in fact now that he thinks about it many of his father's things were made of silver and according to that man ' They warded off evils. The child, without being aware of a new world, what happened to him was that silver is also a symbol of purity, of clarity of conscience, of frankness and righteousness. For Christians it represents divine wisdom, just as gold evokes divine love for men. So without being aware, the child has just used a weapon against a being that represented the opposite of silver and who has just used for the first time a weapon carried by holy warriors.

Seeing that the woman let go of her arm, she believed that she was now safe, but believing that was a mistake, since when she saw the woman's face, she felt that it was a big mistake since this time the woman's expression was absolutely Anger, this caused real terror in the child. Likewise when he said some words his tone didn't help.

"How dare you? How dare you?!" The young man suddenly felt weightless and a terrible pressure on his neck, the woman had grabbed him from there and to her surprise she lifted him up as if nothing was happening. "Do you have any idea who I am and what family I belong to?! I am a holder of the Bael lineage, a family that sees yours as pests who must learn to behave, but there are also pests like you, who do not remember their place!"

The boy suddenly found himself flying, the woman had thrown him off the path towards the trees that were in the park, it was a strange sensation, he could feel the air colliding with his body, how the ground seemed so close, but at the same time same time so far away.

BAM

The boy couldn't continue thinking, because his flight ended as soon as it started, he also felt that the air was escaping from his lungs, he couldn't get out a scream because of that and that his back was also starting to burn, since what stopped his experience in the air was a thick tree where right now he began to curl up believing that this was just a nightmare.

That in reality he was just sleeping and having a nightmare, at some point his friend Rin would come to wake him up to tell him that dinner was ready, he would just have to go down the stairs and there he would see his family in the dining room next to Rin's with the table served.

Unfortunately the woman's voice reminded him that that will never happen. "All you had to do was sit still and enjoy the moment, but you left a mark on me, something that none of the lucky ones who had the privilege of being with me before had done." The woman's tone was soft, but at the same time she expressed a danger that made him fear. "I think it would be best if I do the same to you too, that way you will recognize your place again." After saying those words, the boy, who had blurred vision, could distinguish how a strange energy began to emerge from the woman's hand, which swirled wildly and chaotically until it formed a black sphere, surrounded by a red aura, He didn't like what the woman had planned with that sphere. "Of course, I should warn you that sometimes it gets too handsy when I use this, so please try not to die, if you manage to do it maybe we'll start again and I can give you a prize for your achievement."

The boy closed his eyes in terror, he no longer wanted to know what was going to happen to him, so he also covered his ears, his friend's bracelet was tightly gripped, he was not going to let go.

While the woman, who was about to probably end her life, was preparing, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, the danger instincts that I possessed were suddenly activated and she felt great danger, the woman did not know what was happening until she was very late.

"And yours are not supposed to portray real monsters to the world."

It was enough to hear those words and then a great pain and burning began in his back, it ran through his entire body, as if someone threw gasoline on a person and when he came into contact with the fire his whole body caught fire, but he also felt that Somehow, he penetrated her and her inner flesh burned and evaporated, until what caused everything came out of her forehead.

"…" The woman looked down to see what happened, and that's when she saw it.

A strange form of energy in the shape of a spear, pink in color, had passed through her, she immediately began to vomit blood and feel that her legs were beginning to fail, but before that.

"It's not fatal if that's what you fear, otherwise this place would be filled with bats."

The voice again.

When he wanted to turn around and see his attacker he felt a kind of sting in his neck and everything went black.

The boy who did not move from his position was wondering why nothing was happening yet, when suddenly a new voice alerted him. "Don't worry little one, the woman from before is gone, now you're safe with me." The tone of this new voice was soft and carried a certain amount of concern and relief, but the boy did not move. "Look, I'll come over and help you up if you can't, but please believe in me."

The boy suddenly felt how the hand that should belong to the new woman touched one of his arms. At the touch he tensed, believing that she was going to hurt him like the woman from before did.

But instead of being a hard and painful grip, it was a soft and calming touch, at the same time he felt what must have been the woman's other hand gently caressing his hair, that last action inspired the young boy to raise his head slightly to know Who was this woman?

When he did so, he did it slowly, and the first thing was beautiful purple eyes that sent him a message of security, then a beautiful face that reflected security, finally black hair that framed all of the above, in addition to now the woman's hand. He went on to hold her hand while still stroking her head. With that sensation he slowly got back on his feet. First he was on his knees and little by little he put a stable leg. He continued like this until he finally managed to stand. The woman never stopped stroking his head. nor to hold his hand.

They were like this for a short period of time, the woman did not want to pressure the child and the latter was still nervous about the events from before.

"…"

Finally, the boy was the one who ended it by asking a question, but he hoped the woman wouldn't be upset, he had enough with the woman from before.

"Who are you miss?"

Although the boy felt safe at this moment that did not mean that he was now going to trust the woman completely. Luckily the woman also realized that, since she gave him a smile to give him her name.

"My name, young man, is Raynare." After saying that name he saw how the boy's face distorted in confusion. "That's it, I'm a foreigner, I was just walking around the place, I would have to leave later." She could see the clarification on her face after explaining that, but also her disappointment when telling him that he would have to leave, at least she wouldn't leave this with a bitter ending. "Since I told you my name you should tell me yours, this must be fair after all."

The boy, realizing that he didn't show up, opened his eyes in surprise. "Ah, I-I'm sorry. Cough-cough. My name Issei, Hyoudou Issei, Miss Raynare, I live in Kuoh village with my parents." When he finished introducing himself, the man now identified as Issei bowed to the woman, as a sign of respect.

However, Raynare could only smile at what Issei had done, children always look adorable when they do that, unfortunately this had to end and she knew it and equally felt it. "Hey Issei, don't you think you should go back to your parents, I'm sure they must be worrying about you by now." She could see how Issei's expression went through different emotions, doubt, surprise, nervousness and finally understanding. "Don't worry, the woman is already gone and she won't hurt you again in any way." Now Issei's face was surprised, but there were also signs of joy and relief. "You're a good boy, see, your mother must be waiting for you, and who knows, maybe tomorrow if we meet again maybe we can spend time together and get to know each other better." With those words Raynare wanted to end this conversation.

Issei, even though the woman was right, he wanted to continue talking to her, but suddenly he didn't feel like doing so anymore.

Strange, it was as if his thoughts changed out of nowhere, now he feels that the best thing was to stop talking to Raynare and return home. "So, Issei, you're going to listen to me." Raynare's voice brought him out of his thoughts, finally giving him a nod. Issei headed towards his home, but not before turning around and saying a final goodbye to Raynare, which she reciprocated.

This meeting could have ended there with the 2 saying goodbye, however Raynare could feel that this was not over yet, raising her left hands she could now be the one holding the bracelet that belonged to Issei, she frowned at the sight. , this thing caused her great annoyance and disgust just by seeing it, she would otherwise destroy it, however the best thing she could do was return it to its owner.

.

"I assume you are not going to keep that object that seems to be precious to the young man, right?"

There it was, the reason why she would not accompany the boy, turning around to face the owner of the voice Raynare, if she was afraid, at no time did she show it, because in front of her the owner of the voice was none other than the Diehauser Belial himself, known in the supernatural world as 'The Emperor'.

Before she could say anything the demon in front of her stepped forward. "How many wings do you have?" There was no reason for Raynare, but her authoritarian tone instinctively forced her to reveal them, and with a simple flutter of her wings they appeared.

6 wings black like the sky at night, raven wings, wings stained with black reflecting a stain from its species to the ideals of its creator.

"Under normal circumstances I would wipe you off the face of the earth with my power." Raynare tensed at the words. "However, the fact that you are here knowing that this is demon territory, and no one but me currently knows that you are here opens the door to some questions, you wouldn't bother answering them for me and my associates, would you?"

"Hrk…ahh…"

Hearing the moans of pain and fatigue from another place, the fall took his sight there and then he saw them.

2 teenagers and another demon tending to the woman he had knocked unconscious.

"It's your turn Lelouch, show me why I should do this."

After Diehauser's words, she saw how one of the teenagers walked towards her, without a doubt Lelouch was the one who reacted to Diehauser's words.

She didn't know what was going to happen, but she knew well that she wouldn't come out of this intact, and she also completely didn't know what the intentions of the boy who was approaching her were.

"Greetings Miss, let me tell you that I was impressed by your performance earlier, you could say it was captivating, allow me to introduce myself, my name is LL and I look forward to your cooperation with the following questions."

END.

.

Almost two months of writing this chapter.

I never thought it would take so long, the truth is that my university and my health are not very compatible, I have been feeling bad lately, plus when I go to write I lose my motivation or I forget what I plan, but well, here you have it .

Oh, yes, for those who believe that I am going to kill Issei, FUCK, I never liked that thing about changing one protagonist for another (thanks Naruto and green Naruto) I hate it, that is easily a cliché and lacks creativity, but what? Saying that doesn't mean that now Issei is going to be as important as Lelouch.

Rather I decided to make transitions between the two, Lelouch's as more important and Issei's would be a kind of respite, in both cases don't worry about opening up the plot.

Never that! I have plans for him and no Naruto is going to screw me with that.

Psd: As I want, I will explain what happens with Lelouch and the function of his Geass, I will not make it so that he can hypnotize gods out of nowhere (even though he already did it in his canon), I want to explore that.

Anyway until next time.
