Chapter 3:

Family reunion and unexpected news

Devil Creed


After a long walk Kojou finally arrived at the Yamada residence, it was an oriental style mansion located in the area where the Noble Demons inhabited, a species superior to the others of their kind. Demons ranged from humanoid creatures, for example the tengu crows a species of giant man-bird created in war by the first demon king, and then demons with human appearance, the only way to differentiate would be by looking at their ears, they were pointier than those of the demons. humans but the difference from the elves weren't that flashy. Before entering his residence Kojou asks Yuu if he would like to see Ryuu at that moment, he said it would be better to see him at night at the dinner they would have tonight, Kojou thought it was a good idea so he said goodbye to his security and went inside At home, Yuu went to the Yamada military center where he had a room, regardless of how independent he was, he still lived with his parents in the suburbs (poorest area) of the city. 

Going up the stairs he heard from his office the voice of his younger brother Akatsuki, he was talking to someone who appeared to be much younger than him, already imagining who he was he started to go faster and faster, and when opening the door of his office he saw a boy who appeared to be 16 years old, his hair was a maple red like yours, his eyes were like two sapphires, so red they were, after years he was finally in the presence of his son.

It's late at night, Ryuu finds himself in his room changing after a few hours of conversation with his father, they talked about the dinner they would have between the noble families that night in honor of the tournament to choose the champion among the demon families, but this one would be different, the reincarnations had reached maturity and would participate separately to show the progress of their training.

Ryuu is dressed in formal robes, typical of his clan for the occasion his servants help him to dress, he particularly doesn't like this treatment, not because he rejects his title or nobility he just doesn't like that kind of physical contact, the only person who helps him get dressed was his mother Okatsu. After being dressed and pampered by his servants, he takes the stairs and goes to the first floor of his house to wait for his relatives, when he arrives at the living room he notices things that were not there when he left, a portrait of his mother next to him. an ash pot, a sword hanging on the wall, it was not the style of sword his family used, it was similar to those used by the men of the northern lands, The Northern Mountain Kingdom, on it was written in the language of men "Dragon-piercing The Sting".

-He's already down here, he's not anxious. - Haruka says with a joke voice


-more or less, I'll see people today that I haven't seen in years I'm a little nervous- I was really worried, I was afraid that his friends would reject him for leaving


-I know what you're thinking, they don't hate you, in fact they've been worried all these years.-

Ryuu didn't say anything, he felt a sense of relief.


-Look, they're already there.- Kojou, Akatsuki and Jirō from the stairs were the older brother of the two.-If you're ready, let's walk


- Yeah, it's time.
