270. Audience with Four Satans and Kaito Compromised to Sirzech.

After being picked up by Serafall, Kaito and his peerage members follow Satan to the Underworld to fulfill his promise. Upon arriving at the venue that was prepared for their fight, Kaito and his friends are amazed by the venue and the large number of guests present. Lala, as a scientist, is especially excited about the specialized venue, an enclosed field, often referred to as a "huge dome," or an artificial, sealed dimension designed specifically for Rating Game scenarios.

In fact, the arena was prepared for Sirzech and Kaito's duel, which was special; it was much more durable than a normal arena to anticipate the impact of their battle. But even with all the preparation, Ajuka didn't know he would need to handle the arena himself later on since their battle would be so destructive later on.

...

"What a huge sealed space! How did they do it?!" (Lala)

"I don't know, but Lala-chan, I can introduce you to Ajuka-chan later! He's the one who created this!" (Serafall)

"Really?" (Lala)

"Of course, as long as you will give me the magical girl transformation device!" (Serafall)

"Deal! But I also want Kaito-kun's old photo when he transformed into a magical girl!" (Lala)

"There's no need for that! But I understand your enthusiasm. This venue is also perfect for my upcoming fight." (Kaito)

...

Unlike the venue where Rias fights Riser in a miniature replica of Kuoh Academy, the venue that was prepared for Kaito's fight was simply a vast field of plain ground, approximately 3km in diameter. The audience venue is also much more "luxurious" than the one used in the original plot, probably because this is an event where their strongest Satan is going to show his strength.

After that, Serafall brought them backstage, where Kaito would meet his opponent, the super devil, Sirzech Lucifer. Along the way, Kaito gets through the spectator room where they meet many important devil characters in this world, such as Rias Gremory, Sona Sitri, Sairaorg Bael, Seekvaira Agares, Diehauser Belial, Mr. Phenex, and even Lord Bael in the special seat along with many elders.

Since Kaito was the only one need to be backstage for his fight preparation, the girls naturally needed to stay in the audience venue, where they could use this chance to socialize and introduce themselves as Kaito's peerage members to important characters in this world.

"You guys... I promise I will win this fight." (Kaito)

"We will cheer you from the audience seat." (Aika)

"Good luck, Kaito-kun." (Miya)

"Don't push yourself too hard, master." (Sakuya)

"Don't worry. You guys also should enjoy yourselves." (Kaito)

"We will. Just give a good show! Also, please use some of the props we make together!" (Lala)

...

Upon arriving backstage following Serafall, Kaito was inside a luxurious room where three of the Four Satans were already waiting for him seriously. Naturally, Kaito felt suspicious about this treatment... especially when he thought about his background.

"We are here! Kaito, everyone is waiting for you!" Serafall excitedly greets everyone.

Kaito expressed his doubt, looking back at all the satan with curious eyes, "Waiting for me? I thought I would only need to meet Sirzech-sama, unless---"

Unless Serafall has already reported his bold declaration earlier to other Satans.

Thus, Kaito glanced at Serafall suspiciously, which Serafall noticed and responded with 'teehe', making Kaito speechless. It seems his King is selling him out fast, so fast that he wasn't sure when Serafall did the report.

Since the cat is already out of the bag, Kaito sighed and then greeted the Four Satan politely. After all, based on his own plan, later on, these guys would be his collaborators, so Kaito knew he needed to establish a good relationship with them.

...

"It's been a while, Sirzech-sama." Kaito greeted Sirzech first and then turned politely to the other Satan, with green hair and a bald head, "And I assume the other two must be Asmodeus-sama and Beelzebub-sama."

Hearing Kaito's greeting, the three Satans didn't answer him immediately but just stared at him, observing him. Kaito can guess what they are doing, and sure enough, it was confirmed by Sirzech, who commented, "I thought Serafall was joking, but it seems you're getting stronger. My intuition tells me you are extremely dangerous right now... especially that right hand."

"Really?" Ajuka, who knows Sirzech the best, knows how good his friend's intuition couldn't help but be in a state of disbelief. "Even you feel the threat, Sirzech?"

"Yeah."

"Boy, we have the report that a few days ago, you weren't this strong, and I'm also sure of that." Ajuka gave Kaito a questionable gaze, assessing Kaito's real intention, "What did you do? Who are you? Do you have a purpose to get close to Serafall?"

"Uh, no. I don't have that idea at all." Kaito shook his head and explained, "I was framed by Riser, then sold to Serafall because of my magical girl transformation. You must know about it already, Beelzebub-sama."

Getting entangled with Serafall was never his intention, especially when he counts her obsession with his magical girl transformation. As a man, he naturally doesn't want to use the cursed chainsaw, but with Serafall as his king, she would never let Kaito go.

...

"We do, but the situation was too coincidental. You suddenly awaken a magical girl ability, which our friend Serafall desperate want to have. Now you suddenly have enough strength to hold your position as the worthy queen of Satan. It's just too coincidental."

*Sigh*

"I promise you, Beelzebub-sama. I don't want it to happen, let's say it's just a result of my bad luck." Kaito complained, knowing all of his circumstances were indeed suspicious, "As for how I suddenly get this strong? That would be related to the talk that I will explain after our duel, Sirzech-sama."

"Why need to answer after the duel? Why not now?" Ajuka asked with scrutiny.

"Well... the information would change your worldview. If I explain it before the duel, you would be bothered by it during the duel, Sirzech-sama." Kaito explained while looking at Sirzech.

"Is that so? It seems your secret is quite interesting, Kaito-kun." Sirzech smiled at him.

"Still, that doesn't make sense. None of us were amateurs when it came to fighting; we were all the elite and survivors of war, Kaito." Falbium also expressed his doubt, "I doubt Sirzech would have that kind of issue no matter the information you had revealed to him."

"...Then, just let's say it's just my selfish reason. I just want to focus on the duel for now." Kaito shrugged, admitting honestly to them.

"Alright. Let's stop questioning him. I trust Kaito's character to keep his promise." Sirzech commented, "Since you said it would be secret for now, you must have a reason for that."

"Yeah, you will know after our promotion duel, Sirzech-sama. Don't worry, I won't beat you badly in our fight."

After they know the truth, Kaito is sure these guys will be busy at the meeting, and so will be his side. Allocating the whole Devil Race to the base world wouldn't be a small project, not to mention there's definitely opposition to that plan. And there's also Rizevim Livan Lucifer, the guy who is addicted want to know about the other world... he definitely wouldn't miss this chance to make a ruckus.

In fact, none of the Four Great Sants were stupid; they had already investigated everything about Kaito in this world, so Sirzech and others realized it must be related to Kaito's origin, his power, and even where his magical girl props came from.

...

"Hmmm... Beating me badly, aren't you a bit too arrogant, Kaito?" Sirzech stated unkindly.

"Indeed. Sirzech was the strongest among us. I can tell you are strong, and something about you makes us threatened, but to win in a fight, it's not always about strength but also method and experience." Ajuka advised him, "

"I know. But I am serious about what I said." Kaito nods seriously, "I naturally had confidence to engage with Sirzech-san, which everyone will see later on."

...

From his collection of dangerous props, various abilities that enhance his power, like the Eight Gates, creating 'lmitless' Space, or dangerous material with creation, or even directly attacking the soul and manipulating time... All of them were the source of Kaito's confidence in confronting Sirzech head-on.

Kaito doesn't underestimate Sirzech, who the system categorized in the same realm of strength as him; it's just that Kaito knows he couldn't lose against him for the sake of his future in this world. At worst, Kaito would be forced to use some chat group points to turn the tables when things get ugly.

Unfortunately, Kaito didn't know that that situation would precisely happen later on... as Sirzech also had a trump card that would put him into a desperate situation.

...

Hearing what Kaito said, Sirzech didn't feel offended. Instead, he just wryly smiled and joked, "Uh... If that's really the case, can you give me a face during our fight? It would be embarrassing if the strongest devil got defeated so easily~"

Kaito also joked and commented, "Pfft... I mean, I don't have a grudge against you, Sirzech-sama. I understand your position, so I will do my best to make our fight enjoyable to watch."

"Even so, I am not planning to lose, Kaito. Because the situation would be bad for us if that happened." Sirzech seriously stated while shaking Kaito's hands, "Let's have a good fight, Kaito-kun."

"Yes, Sirzech-sama."

Anyway, Kaito had no intention of damaging the Satans' reputation or making enemies with Sirzech. The best he could do was make Sirzechs' defeat appear 'justified,' which also aligned with another goal of his. To secure a peaceful future with his family in this world, Kaito will use this chance to reveal his true strength to discourage anyone who might cause trouble for them.

Furthermore, the prestige and influence gained from defeating Sirzechs would make many things easier for him. For example, the Himejima Clan had chosen to cooperate with him because of his status as Serafall's Queen. Naturally, if Kaito were proven to be stronger than the strongest devil, many supernatural forces wouldn't be willing to make enemies of him, which would be best for him and his family.

>>>>>

After the Satans finished their pleasant conversation with Kaito, the time for the duel finally arrived. Using his magical technology, Ajuka teleported both Sirzechs and Kaito to the designated arena, where they would be watched by the entire Devil Race, as well as many curious members of other supernatural races who had been invited to witness the battle.

After all, opportunities to see the strongest devil fighting were quite rare. Many of the devils grew up hearing Sirzech's story as the strongest devil, so they were curious about how strong their super devil truly is. Besides that, many were curious about Kaito, Serafall's new queen, who dared to challenge Sirzechs. Although no one expected Kaito to win, quite a lot of people paid attention to him because this duel itself was primarily intended to demonstrate Kaito's strength and whether he was truly worthy of the position of Serafall's queen.

The audience had no idea that Kaito, who was not expected to win, would surprise them and even defeat the Satan they loved and admired.
