Capítulo 6: Chapter – 5 Welcome to Draconic Deus, Seir-kun!

A certain Castle – somewhere in the Belphegor Domain, Underworld

Sitting comfortably in the gazebo of the castle gardens, Sephie held a delicate teacup in her hand and took a sip of the finest tea in the Underworld.

On the opposite side of the square table sat a silver-white-haired woman relishing the same tea served to her.

Though calling her a 'woman' felt somewhat odd considering her youthful appearance that would make anyone looking at her mistake her as a little girl.

'How is it possible? No matter how I see it, Sheila looks like a middle schooler. Yet somehow, she's even older than Mother?!'

She had silver-white hair styled in twin tails, purple horns, striking purple eyes, and pointy ears. Her figure matched her childlike appearance, with a flat chest and delicate frame, making her look as though she hadn't even reached her teens. Dressed in a purple gothic outfit, she exuded an air of elegance.

The 'woman' was the perfect embodiment of a legal Gothic Loli with the appearance of a little girl.

'Sheila truly looks like an incredibly beautiful porcelain doll. Is she really Lucia's biological mother? They do have similar horns… so I guess that must be true. But still… it feels so strange. If I didn't know already, I would have surely mistaken her to be Lucia's little sister!'

As Seir mulled over the absurdity of a Legal Loli existing in real life, Cecily began shuffling the deck of cards in her hands. After the shuffle, she swiftly dealt them out to Sephie and Sheila, preparing for a game of Gin Rummy.

Sitting on a high chair, Seir was observing the game between Sephie and Sheila. He hadn't played Card Games all that much in his past life, so watching his mother and the mother of the Head Maid of the Belphegor Household playing a Card game, even if he did not understand the rules of the game, was a novel experience for him.

But truth be told, more than the Gin Rummy game being played by his mother and Sheila, Seir was interested in the color of the sky visible through the gaps between the pillars and continued to gaze at it.

'How odd… this world seems to follow the cycle of day and night, yet the color of the sky is Violet?' This isn't the first time he has noted the odd color of the sky. Every time he looks at the sky, he can't help but notice how non-scientific the Violet colored sky is.

There was a very good reason why the color of the Sky on Earth from his previous life was blue. It was because of the scattering of the Visible Light as it entered the Earth's atmosphere. Since the wavelength of Blue Light was the shortest, it scattered most efficiently, making the color of the sky appear bluish when the viewer looked at it.

But a violet sky? Although such a color for the sky is not impossible; it is possible only under very stringent conditions that are very hard to meet all the time. Yet, the sky is violet, and it's violet not just during the day, it has a violet shade during the night as well which is all the more weird.

'I wonder what phenomenon makes the Sky in this world take a purple shade all the time? Is the physics of light and light particles different in this world? Well, magic exists, so it's not impossible…. But…'

While Seir was monologuing about the weirdness of the color of the sky, a butler walked toward the gazebo, he bowed and apologized to Sephie, "My lady, I am sorry for disturbing you during your relaxation hour with Lady Sheila…" and added, "Lady Belphegor and my Lord have returned from the Stygian Senate…"

Sephie nodded, "I see… Good work, Putin," and while keeping her eyes focused on the cards in her hand, she instructed the butler, "Inform Mal and Roygun that we are at the Nightshade Nectar Garden… and I request them to join us for evening tea. We would discuss the events at the senate over a cup of tea…"

"As you wish my Lady…" the butler named Sergei respectfully nodded with a bow, then turned around and left the gardens.

'Putin? Hmm… that family name… and that appearance… Am I hallucinating?? Is this for real?' thought Seir while looking at the back of the butler, walking away with a thoughtful expression. A butler in another world can have the same family name as the President of a certain country from modern-day Earth, 'But… but that appearance… what are the odds?'

Before Seir could think any further, he was picked up from his high chair by a pair of hands he is all too familiar with and looked at the person, "Mommy?"

"Seir dear, are you interested in Putin?" asked Sephie while holding Seir in her arms and looking at the disappearing back of Putin. Considering Seir's gaze on Putin's back, she could tell that for some reason, the butler named Putin attracted his attention.

"Ineresched!" nodded Seir while bobbing his head quickly. Though it was a bit embarrassing for him to not be able to properly speak 'interested.' In any case, his intentions were conveyed.

Sephie smiled as she found 'Ineresched' from Seir's mouth to be very cute. However, she also began to explain, "Your father found Putin in the city of Leningrad."

"Leningrad?" Seir muttered, his expression suspicious. 'Don't tell me it's the same Leningrad I'm thinking of…'

"Oh, right, silly me. You wouldn't know about Leningrad, would you? Well, it's the name of a city in a nation called the USSR that exists in the Human Realm. Or, I should say, it used to exist, right? The USSR recently split into several smaller countries. Oh, and now that I think about it, Leningrad was also renamed to St. Petersburg, right? Yes, that seems to be the case. Anyway, your father came across a human named Vladimir Putin. He found the guy interesting and brought him to the Underworld…" She paused, resting her cheek in her hand, then added, slightly puzzled, "I wonder what Mal plans to do with him. He doesn't seem to want to turn the butler into a Devil… I really don't know what your father has in mind for him…"

'Wait… wait… wait… hold up… the USSR? So that guy might really be who I think he is?' Seir's attention was quickly shifted from Putin to the USSR. 'More importantly, did this world have a USSR up until a while ago? And the USSR was in the Human Realm? So where are we right now? Some realm that is not the Human Realm? Demon Realm? Hell? Underworld? That would at least explain the Violet color of the sky… No, more importantly… this world had a nation named the USSR… and that guy currently serving as the butler of our House is the future President of Russia! This means that I haven't been Isekaied to some random world, but rather to some alternate version of Earth where magic and other supernatural stuff exist, and at the moment, I am in the past compared to the years I was born and died in!'

This was a lot to process. For the past year, Seir had assumed he was reborn as a demon in another world, like those lucky (or unlucky) individuals from Isekai light novels. But now he was realizing that wasn't the case. Although he had been reborn, the world he had entered was an alternate version of Earth, where demons existed.

'Damn… an alternate reality in the multiverse, not a completely different world? And that too during the peak years of Cold War…'

It took Seir some time to come to terms with this realization. Once he accepted the truth, he began to piece together more of the situation.

Seir wasn't Russian in his previous life, nor was he someone who kept up with geopolitics or global events, so he's not entirely sure. However, from what he can remember, the USSR dissolved into Russia and other Slavic countries around a decade before the end of the twentieth century. This suggests that the current year is either 1991 or somewhere around that time.

Realizing that he was more than 30 years in the past, Seir couldn't help but feel incredibly lucky!

'There are so many things I can take advantage of with my retained knowledge of the twenty-first century Earth!' thought Seir, he was especially looking forward to becoming a multi-billionaire just by buying Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Shiba INU, Dogecoin, and other cryptocurrencies when they are dirt cheap and sell them past Covid 19, that is before the year 2022 and maybe buying them again when their price falls before the 2025 halving Cycle of Bitcoin. Just this trade of Cryptocurrencies would make him a multi-billionaire without having to put any effort, and let's not forget the trillion-dollar and hundreds of billion-dollar market cap companies that he could invest in at an early stage… Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, NVIDIA, Tesla, Samsung and so many more. There are literally hundreds of companies out there!

'Gone are the days of a middle-class mediocre life, I am going to be a filthy rich second-generation young master in this second life!' Seir screamed inwardly in excitement. Heck, it's no longer impossible for him to become the richest man on the planet!

'Zehahahaha…' imitating the evil laugh of a certain three-bearded pirate, Seir thought to himself, 'Perhaps I will be the World's first trillionaire of the modern era!'

As Seir was having various thoughts about acquiring trillion-dollar wealth, Malakarion and Roygun arrived at the garden, along with Lucia following them. Cecily greeted the three people with a respectful bow as they entered the Gazebo, "Welcome home, Lord Malakarion, Lady Roygun…"

"Thank you for your hard work, Cecily," Mal said with a nod, and Roygun mirrored the gesture.

After that Mal turned to his wife and son, "Sephie… Seir…"

"Look, Seir dear… your father and sister are back from the Senate… go on… greet them…" urged Sephie as she turned toward Mal and Roygun while carrying Seir.

Following Sephie's urging, Seir greeted Mal, "Welcome back, Father… Welcome back, Roygun…"

Malakarion nodded lightly, "It's good to be back…"

On the other hand, Roygun responded warmly, "Thank you, Seir, my dear. How was your day, sweetheart?"

"It was boring…" answered Seir with a pout.

"Is that so?" chuckled Roygun as she took Seir in her arms from Sephie's, and holding her little brother in his arms, she spoke, "Then we shall do something about this boredom of yours…"

Seir tilted his head, "What would we do?"

"I am pondering over it… Give me a moment…" answered Roygun with a smile.

"Okay…" nodded Seir lightly.

On the other hand, Mal turned to his wife, "Sephie…"

There weren't any words spoken between the pair of husband and wife as they locked their lips together, during which Seir made sure to look away, 'It's a bit weird to watch your parents make out…'

As the couple separated, Sephie smiled happily, "Welcome home Mal…"

"It's wonderful to be back home." nodded Mal.

At the same time, Lucia and Sheila exchanged greetings, and Lucia said, "I didn't expect to see you here, Mother. I thought you were traveling in the Human Realm."

"I was," Sheila replied, "but when I heard about the dissolution of the USSR, I decided it was significant enough of a matter to return to the Underworld."

"I see…" nodded Lucia, accepting the answer.

Roygun also turned to Sheila and spoke, "In fact, Aunty, I was expecting to see you at the Stygian Senate, but you weren't there. I didn't know you were here at the castle accompanying, Mother, instead."

"Well, I didn't feel like dealing with all those stuck-ups at the senate," Sheila replied with a casual shrug before adding, "Since Sephie was kind enough to accompany me for tea and some card games, I figured I'd wait here to hear the report from you and my daughter when she returned from the Senate."

"Understandable," nodded Roygun with a thoughtful expression as she took one of the four seats at the square table with Seir still in her arms and turned her attention to Sephie, "Mother, how have things been in my absence?"

Mal too paid attention to Sephie's answer while settling into the last available chair.

"The household has been running smoothly, and we're all doing well," Sephie replied casually.

"That's good to hear," nodded Roygun.

Once Roygun, Malakarion, Sephie, and Sheila had settled on the four chairs, Lucia and the other maids began preparing tea and snacks for the four and as tea cups were placed in front of them, Mal recalling something, asked Sephie, "While we were coming to the garden, I noticed the two of you talking about something… mind if I hear about it?"

"Sure, we were talking about Putin… Seir expressed some interest in the child, so I was just about to tell him about how you found the boy," answered Sephie, then she clapped her hands together, and suggested, "Since you are here, why don't you retell the tale?"

"Retell that tale? Would you like to hear about it, son?" asked Mal looking at Seir.

"Umm… sure…" He had nothing better to do at the moment, so he did not mind hearing about it.

"Alright then," Mal said with a nod, taking a sip of his tea. And so, the tale of how Vladimir Putin was brought to the Belphegor castle began.

.

.

Zzzzzz…

"It seems he got bored of the tale…" giggled Sephie as she watched Seir 'sleeping' in Roygun's arms.

"Was it really that boring?" asked Mal with a pout. He did not expect that his son would go to the extent of 'falling asleep' in the middle of the tale.

'Yes… it was!'

"Yes, it was Father! And honestly, your reason for bringing that man to the Belphegor Domain is rather pointless."

Unfortunately for Malakarion, Roygun and Seir shared the same sentiment. While Seir chose not to voice his opinion, Roygun had no reservations about expressing hers.

"Eh? Do you really think so? I thought he might prove to be useful…" Mal replied thoughtfully.

Roygun sighed before responding, "Well, since you've already brought him to the Underworld, I'll see what I can do with him. If he turns out to be useful, then fine. Otherwise, I'll just erase his memories and send him back to where he came from." She nodded decisively.

'The future president of Russia, reduced to being a potential pawn in Roygun's hands... Talk about something completely unexpected,' Seir thought to himself.

Sephie shifted the conversation. "Anyway, how did things go at the Senate? Did anyone voice opinions about the dissolution of the USSR?"

Roygun shrugged. "Maou Lucifer suggested maintaining the same stance we had during the First and Second World Wars in the Human realm."

Sheila nodded thoughtfully. "As expected of that boy. He's really soft… but I suppose his stance is logical. Heaven and Grigori won't stay silent if we Devils make any move. Things could escalate quickly…"

'Heaven? Grigori? Wait, are you telling me there's a Heaven in this alternate Earth too? Well, now that I think about it, if there's a Hell—or to be more precise, the Underworld—here, it's not so strange that Heaven exists as well. Alright, that makes sense. But what's this Grigori about? Grigori… where have I heard that term before… hmm…'

"Yes, it's best to let humans handle their own affairs and avoid interfering unless something truly significant occurs," said Sephie.

Mal nodded in agreement. "Though, making a few subtle moves here and there is perfectly fine."

"I see, so majorly non-interference but a bit of influence…?" Sheila nodded thoughtfully.

Sephie agreed, then shifted the conversation. "Aside from the matter concerning the USSR, did anything interesting happen in the Senate?"

"Something interesting?" Malakarion repeated, taking a sip of his tea as he considered the various topics discussed at the Senate. After a moment of reflection, he shook his head. "Nothing, really, that I would describe as interesting. The Senate remains as it has been for the past five centuries—unchanged. They continue discussing the changes in human society and deliberating over what steps to take in response."

Roygun paused, her expression thoughtful as she tried to recall the events. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Actually, something did happen. While it wasn't a topic of discussion or an official matter raised in the Senate, I did notice something intriguing."

"Oh? And what might that be?" Sephie asked with curiosity. Naturally, Malakarion, Sheila, Lucia, and even Seir turned their attention toward Roygun, all interested in what had caught her attention.

"Serafall couldn't stop boasting that her mother is pregnant with a child," Roygun replied with a faint smile.

Huh? Serafall… wait a minute, Serafall? That name sounds familiar somehow… Seir thought to himself, his mind racing.

"Hm? Selene Sitri is pregnant?" Sephie murmured thoughtfully.

'A Sitri being mentioned in connection to Serafall's mother's pregnancy… now that's intriguing…' Seir pondered, his curiosity piqued.

"Yes, Lady Sitri is indeed pregnant," Roygun confirmed with a nod.

Sheila tilted her head in confusion. "While it's good news that the House of Sitri is expecting an heir, what's so intriguing about that?"

Roygun smiled and then turned to Lucia. "Lucia, would you like to share what you told me about your conversation with Lady Grayfia?"

Lucia nodded lightly before speaking. "It seems that, just like Lady Sitri, Lady Gremory is also expecting her second child in the coming months."

'First Serafall and Sitri, and now Grayfia and Gremory?' Seir thought with a sigh.

"Oh? So the House of Gremory is expecting an heir as well?" Sephie murmured, her expression thoughtful.

Roygun nodded and took a sip of her tea before continuing, "And it doesn't stop there. I've received intelligence that not long ago, an heir to the House of Astaroth was born—a boy named Diodora Astaroth. Around the same time, Maou Beelzebub's niece was also born. Her name is Latia Astaroth."

'Diodora and Latia Astaroth?'

Malakarion was taken aback by this information. He suddenly recalled something and said, "Didn't the House of Bael also have an heir two years ago? What was the boy's name? Hm… Sairaorc?"

Roygun burst out laughing upon hearing Mal's words, "No father, it isn't Sairaorc," and quickly corrects him, "It's Sairaorg! Sairaorg Bael!"

"Ah, yes, Sairaorg Bael!" nodded Mal agreeing with the correction

'Even Sairaorg Bael?' Seir thought.

Shiela added, "Now that you mention the Baels, I heard from an acquaintance living in their domain that the Great King is expecting another child, though this one is from his second wife. Oh, and the House of Agares also had an heir recently. It's a girl named Seekvaira Agares."

'Seekvaira Agares? Yes, how could she have been forgotten?'

Roygun continued, "That's not all. There's also a girl from the House of Glasya-Labolas named Liselotte. Then, a boy from the House of Amon, a girl from the House of Vassago, and another girl from the House of Abaddon. Just half a decade ago, Ruval's mother gave birth to her third son… what was his name? Ah, yes, Riser Phenex."

'Sigh… It seems certain at this point…'

Roygun smiled as she gently caressed Seir's hair and added, "And of course, we have our little Seir here."

After listing all these recent births, Roygun paused and asked, "Does anyone notice something?"

The room fell silent as everyone pondered what Roygun was implying. She continued, "There have been an unusually high number of births recently…"

"Yes," she nodded, "Even though Devils have a very low fertility rate, quite a few children have been born, and all around the same time." She added, "I'm not saying this is a bad thing. The higher the number of children in prominent families, the earlier we recover our numbers and strength… but… it's intriguing. Why are so many of these children being born so close together?"

'It's because the author needed characters to be around the same age as the MC…' Seir thought to himself.

Unaware of his internal musings, the others exchanged thoughtful glances.

Roygun continued, "This isn't the first time such an unusual pattern has occurred, is it? After all, Sirzechs Gremory, Ajuka Astaroth, Serafall Sitri, Grayfia Lucifuge, Shalba Beelzebub, Falbium Glasya-Labolas, Katerea Leviathan, Creuserey Asmodeus, along with a bunch of other young Devils were all born within a few years of each other in the High-Class families at that time." She paused, her expression growing serious before adding, "And we all know what happened not long after that… Only a few decades after their births, the Civil War broke out in the Underworld."

'It might be a coincidence if just a few names lined up,' Seir thought, 'but for this many to align? That's way too much of a coincidence… And then there's that Civil War she mentioned… Yup, no doubt about it… everything adds up.'

Mal tilted his head in confusion. "So, are you suggesting that since so many births are happening again around the same time, something on that scale might happen again?"

Roygun shrugged. "It's just a conspiracy theory I came up with while I was bored out of my mind at the Senate… what do you guys think of this conspiracy theory?"

Sephie sighed, shaking her head. "You and your imagination… always coming up with these pointless conspiracy theories."

Sheila, however, blinked thoughtfully as she sipped her tea. A small smile played on her lips. "Still, I must admit—it's an interesting theory."

Sephie shook her head dismissively. "Don't worry, nothing like that will happen. And even if it does, it wouldn't concern us, right, darling?"

Malakarion nodded in agreement. "Exactly. It's been eons since we last involved ourselves in Underworld politics. Honestly, if not for you participating in the Rating Games, Roygun, we'd barely maintain any contact with the Stygian Senate. Whatever crisis might arise in the Underworld, it wouldn't involve the House of Belphegor. Besides, with the strength of the current Maou Lucifer and Beelzebub, I doubt they'd let any real danger threaten the Underworld."

'Oh, if only you knew, Father,' Seir thought, a shadow of concern in his mind. 'How terrible the future might be—not just for the Underworld, but for the entire planet…'

'Sigh… I didn't expect my reality to be this… I have been reborn into a troublesome world…'

If realizing his rebirth was a shocker, discovering the existence of magic was a stunner, figuring out his race was a mind-boggler, stumbling upon this alternate earth was a bolt out of the multiverse, then determining the exact reality of the world he has been living in for the past year is almost hallucinatory.

One or two coincidences are not strange, but when so many of them line up… they are no longer coincidences!

The way information stands in front of him, there are only three possibilities.

Number one, he has smoked too much weed, and everyone is playing a very elaborate prank on him using some VR technology. Yeah, that would be funny.

Number two, again, he has smoked too much weed and is daydreaming about absurd situations, in which case he doesn't want to wake up from this daydream and doesn't mind spending his entire life in it. But maybe he should otherwise, the subject strapped on his experiment table would starve to death, and he wouldn't even have finished the experiment he was conducting.

Number three, everything before him is one hundred percent true. He is really inside the World he thinks it is.

Considering that he never once touched anything past Red Bull and that too only two to three times in his entire life, the first and second possibilities can be ruled out, which means he really is inside the world he thinks he is.

Which world is it you ask?

It's the World where every mythology exists and everything is a possibility no matter how absurdly unbelievable that may sound or appear.

It's the world where it is possible to create unique magic spells such as Dress Break & Pailingual that allow the user to strip women of their clothing upon physical contact & read their thoughts and plans by literally making their tits talk.

It's the world where the son of the plane is blessed literally by Chichigami, aka, the boob goddess from another world.

It's the world where the protagonist gets his Shōnen power-ups by poking nipples and sucking boobies.

It's the world where the main character gets motivated by listening to the Oppai Songs and is known as the Breast Dragon Emperor, while his main rival is known as the Butt Dragon Emperor.

'Hmm, not that I think about it… There's a Breast Dragon Emperor and a Butt Dragon Emperor… but what about the Clit Dragon Emperor? Who's the Clit Dragon Emperor? There has to be someone with that alias as well, right?'

Anyway, it's a world where the hero can survive certain death situations by being submerged in a tub filled with women's breast milk.

That's right, it's the world where both dreams and the infinite exist in a physical form, it is the world of devils and dragons also inhabited by gods, buddhas, heroes, mystical creatures, and, of course, humans!

The world Seir has been reborn into is none other than DxD, aka Draconic Deus, and he seems to have been born in the same generation as the son of the plane.

'DxD, huh? Wonder what good deeds I performed in my previous life that I have been reborn as a Devil into the High School DxD…'

'Either way… it seems I am fucked, though, I am not sure in a good way or in a bad way…!'
