The schedule in Kyoto had ended, and it was time to return.
"You really didn't need to come out to see us off..."
"Fufu, I am doing it because I want to. I bid you a safe journey, Lord Eden."
Yasaka came all the way to the front gate of the mansion to see us off.
We had become quite close during our stay, so the awkward atmosphere from the beginning was gone.
"Take care."
"Goodbye to you all as well."
And so, we left Kyoto and returned to my territory in the Underworld.
As soon as we arrived, I let the girls go do whatever they wanted and called for Belbeth.
[Did you call... Creator...]
"Yeah. There were no problems while I was gone, right?"
[There were no problems, but...]
"Hmm? Is there an issue?"
[A human male fell from the sky for some unknown reason, so we imprisoned him...]
Suddenly?
"Hmm... I need to see that for myself. Where is he?"
[Please follow me...]
Following Belbeth, we arrived at a truly grim-looking prison.
The bars made of pitch-black metal squirmed as if they were alive, and my creations stood guard around the perimeter.
...What is this?
When did I even make this?
Inside the cell, a human male with green hair was crouching down.
"Dammit... To think I end up in prison right after reincarnating, fuck."
What? Reincarnating?
The trapped man spat out words I couldn't possibly mishear.
[Arise... The great master of this land has come... Show respect...]
Whoa... Belbeth, I feel a bit burdened by that kind of stuff...
"Are you the owner here? How do you manage your people! How can you just kidnap a person and lock them up like this!"
As soon as the man saw me, he jumped up and shouted.
"No... Actually, if a guy who suddenly fell from the sky was merely imprisoned instead of killed, shouldn't you be grateful? If it were other radical Devils, they would have just killed you on the spot."
"Hmm...? Is that so?"
This guy seems a bit lacking in intelligence.
"That aside, you're a reincarnator, aren't you?"
"Huh!? How did you know?!"
You just said it with your own mouth...
Is this guy actually an idiot? This won't be easy.
"Because I'm a reincarnator too. Which country are you from?"
"I'm Korean..."
"Same country. Nice to meet you, pal."
"I never thought I'd find a comrade..."
"Neither did I."
Happy to have met a fellow countryman, we continued our conversation.
Listening to him, it seems about 10 years have passed in his world since I reincarnated.
"So, did Season 5 of the High School DxD anime come out?"
"No... It didn't. The author keeps writing spin-offs instead of the original story..."
Fuck, it's been 10 years and it still hasn't come out? That's too much.
Ugh, damn author, just write the main story.
"Speaking of which, when did you reincarnate into this world?"
"During the Great War."
"...Hah? Seriously?"
"Seriously."
"How are you alive? Ah, since this is a Devil's territory, did you reincarnate as a Devil?"
"I'm a human like you. Just a human who ate a little... well, a lot of things."
"Humans can't live for thousands of years, sir."
"Maybe you just lacked willpower?"
"No... That goes beyond willpower or whatever..."
His reaction is delicious.
"Anyway, what did you get as your reincarnation perk?"
"I don't know? I haven't checked. What did you get?"
"The Sephiroth Graal."
"Oh, it's a Longinus, but of all things, that? Isn't that totally for support?"
"I had the same thought when I first got it..."
"Having something like that during the war era... I feel like you'd just get it stolen and die..."
"Well... I managed to survive somehow."
Somehow survived, indeed.
"Anyway, if you don't know your reincarnation perk, I'll help you check it."
"How?"
"Like this."
Crack──! Cr-r-rack───!
My human body crumbled away, and the Chaos Dragon descended upon the world.
I looked down at him in my dragon form.
"Grrrrrrrr......"
"Holy shit, what the fuck is that───!?"
"If you don't want to die, bring it out. The power inside you."
Chaos gathered within my maw.
Waves of power, ready to be unleashed at any moment, fluctuated violently.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck...! Come out, come out! Pleaaaaaaase────!"
Flash──!
Countless swords erupted from the empty air around him, creating a graveyard of blades to protect himself.
Seeing that, I immediately canceled my dragon form and reverted to a human.
"See, I told you it works instantly."
"Y-You fucking crazy bastard......!"
Seeing him create swords, it's either Sword Birth (Demon Sword Creation) or Blade Blacksmith (Holy Sword Creation)...
Since I don't feel any particular holy power, it must be Sword Birth.
"It's Sword Birth. That's your Sacred Gear."
"But how did you know it was a Sacred Gear? I might have received something else as a perk, not a Sacred Gear."
"We can think about that when the time comes. You were in mortal danger, so something was bound to come out."
"Lunatic, absolute lunatic..."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"It's not a compliment────!"
As expected, his reactions are entertaining.
I feel like this guy will keep me from getting bored for a while.
