บท 982: We can talk about it later

It was very surprising news since they knew that the only one who was able to produce Phenex tears was Phenex Clan.

"Impossible!" Ravel refuted what Mephisto had said.

"It's impossible unless there are a Phenex clan's family members who are collaborating with a group of stray magicians," Mephisto said calmly.

Ravel turned pale when she heard such news. "L - Let me talk with my parents!" She went out and started to communicate with her parents since it was very important news.

"You know there is a more subtle way," Azazel said.

"This is important news. It is better to let her family know early so we can do something about them," Mephisto said.

Yuuki could imagine that probably the group of stray magicians might kidnap the member of Phenex clan then did an experiment on them to create a fake Phenex Tears. He had seen the effect earlier, even though the effect was lower, but the price was cheaper. He could see the monopoly of the Phenex clan on Phenex tears would become very difficult after the fake thing appeared on the market.

"This isn't the only thing that you want to say, right?" Azazel said.

"Yeah. I have gotten information too that there are a lot of members from an old religion who have joined the Khaos Brigade so all of you need to be careful," Mephisto said.

"Old religion?"

"It's a religion from a number of places such as Celtic, Egypt, and a lot more," Azazel said.

"Why do they attack us?" Xenovia was confused.

"Because they're jealous," Mephisto said.

"Jealous?"

"The three factions angel, fallen angel, and devil have occupied the majority of believers in this world and that makes the believers on another religion decrease. There is even some religion that is being forgotten because of the three factions," Mephisto said.

Azazel snorted, but he didn't say anything. He knew very well the personality of those Gods.

Their moods were pretty heavy when they heard such news.

"That's why I am very surprised when you have gotten Nessie's meat since that place is being guarded by a Celtic God," Mephisto said.

"...." Everyone looked at Nessie's meat with a strange expression.

"Celtic Gods aren't that hostile towards us," Azazel said.

"That's true." Mephisto nodded.

"......."

"That's all I want to say. Oh, right. Rias-chan. Tell your older brother that I am supporting him," Mephisto said and ended the conversation.

"........" They weren't sure what to say when they heard it.

"Why is he living in a human's world?" Yuuki asked. He was a bit curious after he had met Mephisto Pheles, but he didn't intend to ask anything to him. However, when Mephisto had gone, he decided to ask since he didn't see any harm to it.

"It's because his relationship with the original devil isn't that good," Azazel answered.

"Why is their relationship bad?" Issei asked.

"Their view is different." Rias looked at them and said, "The original devil is thinking more about blood and line of each house member in devils and the original devil is also hostile toward other factions. However, Mephisto is different since he is very open-minded and shows a strong interest in humans."

They felt that their image on Mephisto had increased when they heard Rias's explanation.

"He is also the king of Tannin," Rias said.

"Old Man Tannin's King?!" Issei was surprised.

Rias nodded and said, "Yes. Tannin is his queen. I have heard that Tannin has decided to become his queen because Tannin wants to save his species."

Yuuki understood that Mephisto was very powerful since that guy had been living since the original devil. He touched his glasses and wondered whether his disguise was working on that guy. However, he didn't think much either since he didn't think that Mephisto was a type of someone who loved to fight. Unless that guy tried to harm him then he wouldn't do anything and he also didn't have an interest think too much about him.

They continued to talk then their topic changed into a pact with a magician.

"Pact with a magician, huh? I only remember that Solomon has made a lot of pacts with the devil in the past," Azazel said.

"Solomon?" Issei was confused.

"King Solomon. He's one of the greatest kings in the past," Azazel said.

"What is special about him?" Issei asked.

"He has thousands of harem," Azazel said.

"Wow....." Issei was amazed when he heard it.

Everyone sighed looking at Issei's reaction.

Azazel laughed and said, "Don't think too much about a pact with a magician. You're still young anyway."

Rias nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have made my mind to make a pact with a magician."

"Really? Who?" Azazel asked.

"Him." Rias pointed her finger at Yuuki.

"....." Azazel looked at Yuuki and nodded. "Understandable."

"Let's make a pact," Rias said.

Yuuki nodded and said, "I don't mind, but let's not do it now."

"Eh?" Rias was surprised and asked, "Why?"

"Let's talk for a while before you decide to make a pact with me. Don't be too hasty," Yuuki said.

"Well...."

Yuuki wanted to say that he had promised to take her on a date, but he didn't seem that it was good to tell it when Issei was here. He had supported him in the past yet he had stolen Rias from him.

Rias was smart and she also understood that it might be better to talk first later.

Yuuki didn't stay too long in the clubroom and decided to go back to his house in Kuoh since he needed to do something there together with Akeno. He thought that he could talk with Rias later in his house about this pact of a magician.
