A Fool's Heart

Chapter 4: Training

-SCENE-

"So I'm afraid...we're requesting it to be postponed."

"Is that so?"

"Hmph. What nonsense! Something of that manner does not concern us. You may be the Maou, Sirzechs-sama, but to request such a thing of the House of Bael is nothing but insulting! Sairaorg, we are denying his request."

"Very well, Sirzechs-sama. I accept."

"Wha-?! Sairaorg! Do you not heed my words?!"

"Indeed I do not, Father. This is a request from the Maou. To deny it only because of some worthless pride is more than insulting to him, as it is to us. Moreover, I refuse to participate in this rating game without the Sekiryuutei in attendance. I have already promised him a battle."

"Sairaorg, you are nothing more than a foolish boy walking in the shoes of an heir. You don't have the right to make such a choice. The final decision does not land upon you!"

"You are right, Father. However, that still does not mean that I will participate."

"Sairaorg! Do not act so foolish! Merely for the sake of that shameful Reincarnated creaton! Do you believe that those actions cannot be punished?"

"Lord Bael. Sairaorg has already made his decision. I had hoped that you would respect that. If not, then I must warn you. Do not forget that I am the Maou. Practically any decision I make is final. I have already spoken with Zekram, he has no qualms with my suggestion and will respect whatever opinion Sairaorg may have. I respect his decision as well and, therefore, I shall perceive it as final. Thank you for your time."

"Nnn! So you would prefer to suggest your authority in order to overrule me? Simply because it involves your prodigy of a sibling? So your bias is what commands you? How low you have fallen, Sirzechs."

"You are free to think that way of me, Lord Bael. But that pride of yours is a dangerous thing. This situation that has befallen the Gremory is more drastic than your feeble mind can believe. And there is an effect that even reaches us Maou, if not professionally, then personally. I will not remind you again that I am still the Maou. My last advice to you will be to watch your tongue."

"!"

"Good day to you both."

Part 1

Scribble...

It's been a full week since I left home for Grigori. I haven't been having much interaction with a lot of people in my stay here. The only person I really ever spend time with is Ravel. She comes to see me whenever she can, which is pretty often. It's so often that I'm starting to think that she most definitely skips club just to see me. Just because I'm in the Underworld doesn't mean I don't know what time it is in the human world. I can calculate it well enough, but even if I couldn't, I'm pretty sure there's devices here that can do it for me. So I can tell when she shows up that it's usually time for club.

I wonder what everyone else thinks....

I paused from writing the 'list' I was planning to hand Sensei and took out my phone, that I brought with me.

[Mail]: Matsuda, Motohama, Saji, Mum...

.....That's it huh?...looks like these guys were curious about where i went. I wonder if someone will tell Saji. But....That's all huh...

Guess I'm not surprised-
