Life.3 Our New Friend Is The Mysterious Diva

Part 1

We returned from the subjugation of the unknown Devils. As we arrived at the Hyoudou residence, Rias and Ravel explained to the higher-ups of the Underworld about the successful subjugation, the encounter with the mysterious girl, and that we would look after her—. The song that was sung by the purple-haired girl did cause me and Bova some trouble, but as soon as it stopped, our bodies returned to a normal condition. Just in case, we reported the situation to the Grigori, who were knowledgeable on the Sacred Gear research, as well. The girl that we looked after was sleeping in a separate room. There were also surveillants placed to watch her so that she didn't leave the house. After a few hours had passed, we were contacted by the higher-ups of the Underworld. The spacious VIP room on the top floor of the Hyoudou residence was set up as a reception room. There, the members involved in the subjugation convened for a meeting (Bova also attended by shrinking his body). A magic circle was then created in the middle of a table in the VIP room, projecting a figure of one of the higher-ups. The higher-up was — Maou-sama. Maou Ajuka Beelzebub-sama. Currently, he was the only remaining one who held the seat of a Maou from among the Four Great Satans. Beelzebub-sama showed his gratitude to us for the subjugation, and also spoke about the purple-haired girl.

[Her name is — Leviathan. Ingvild Leviathan. She's a descendant of the previous Maou Leviathan. Plus, she's half-human.]

[—!?]

Everyone was completely shocked by that report.

Of course! One of the Maou Leviathan... To make things worse, she was the descendant of the previous Leviathan! The Devils' government of the current Underworld had been reorganised after the civil war which occurred in the past. After the great war between Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils, all sides suffered such severe losses that the birth of the next generations kept declining dangerously, putting the survival of the entire race at risk. Among them, a civil war was instigated by the Devils who held the blood of the previous Four Great Satans. They wished to continue the war and resist to the bitter end, and they fought against those who wished for the conflict to stop. As a result, the side who attempted a coup d'etat won, and those who held the blood of the previous Maous were chased out to the fringes of the Underworld. After that, the Four Great Satans became something not hereditary, but rather a succession to the Devils who were powerful at that time. Ajuka Beelzebub-sama was one of the powerful people at that time, similar to Rias's brother, Sirzechs-sama who took up the name of Lucifer. One of the reasons why the House of Gremory was a prestigious noble family was that it had produced a Maou.

On the other hand, the expelled Devils who inherited the blood of previous Maous lived in poverty in the outskirts of the Underworld. However...last year, they united with the terrorist organisation Khaos Brigade, creating the Old Maou Faction, and they propagated war against the current Devil government, as well as other mythologies. Those who bore the previous Maou's blood... There were other people like the purple-haired girl — Ingvild, who had mixed with humans. One of them was my Heavenly Dragon rival, Vali Lucifer. He was the great-grandchild of the previous Lucifer, and his mother was a human. As a result, he had the power and talent from possessing the blood of Lucifer, while he also possessed a Sacred Gear as a human, which gave him unrivaled strength. I asked Beelzebub-sama.

"A-Are you saying that she's the same as Vali?"

[It's a different case, but you can say that it's the same in terms of being the descendant of the previous Maou, while also having human blood and a Sacred Gear.]

...Are you serious? Another case like Vali's...I didn't even know how to react... No, I had heard that there were cases of descendants from the High-class Devils of the former Seventy Two Pillars who had survived as half-humans. However, I thought there were no other pure descendants of the previous Maou who were half-human other than Vali as he was a really rare case. Beelzebub-sama then continued
