On the surface of the water in the middle of the large lake were two girls, or rather a little girl and a young woman, riding a large water serpent.
The little girl sitting in the front was a little girl who seemed to be seven years old, had short pink hair, and had a sweet face that looked cheerful.
While the woman sitting at the back was a young woman with a beautiful face but a firm expression, long black hair, horns, and wearing a maid uniform.
“Hm!? I heard the sound of fighting!”
The little girl with pink hair suddenly seemed to hear something. She then controlled the water serpent to stop.
“Hmm…. Where did it come from?”
The girl looked here and there looking for the direction of the source of the sound.
And after listening more carefully, she pointed in a direction.
“There! Let’s go!”
Then, the pink-haired girl ordered the large water snake they rode to head in the direction she intended.
Meanwhile, the maid couldn’t help but to just sighed.
And a few minutes after they searched for the source of the sound, from a distance they finally found and saw it.
They saw two people, a boy with black hair and a woman with long purple hair who both wielded spears, fighting quite fiercely!
And seeing them fighting, they were both quite surprised.
“!!!”
“Ooooohhhh!!!! Amazing! Who are they!?”
The little girl seemed to be clapping because she was impressed to see the tight battle which as if accompanied by ‘visual effects’.
Meanwhile, the maid woman slightly shook her head at the little girl’s question.
“I don’t know. But, they are definitely not weak people.”
“We’d better go, Young Lady.”
“Eeehhh~…. Why~? I still want to see their fight~.”
“No can do, Young Lady…. We don’t know who they are. They might be enemies.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. We’d better leave before they notice we’re here…. No. Most likely they already noticed, but they ignored us because we didn’t bother them…. We’re leaving.”
“Muu….”
With a sullen look, the little girl ordered their water snakes to turn around and then they left.
Meanwhile, one of the two people fighting on the shore of the lake, namely the woman with long purple hair, while still fighting seemed to glance briefly at the two uninvited guests who left.

In the evening, in a castle in the Devil’s territory…
A woman with light purple hair walked in a corridor while looking worried.
Then, from the intersection at the end of the corridor a pink-haired woman appeared.
And seeing the light purple haired woman who seemed to be frowning in worry, the pink haired woman came up to her and asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“My daughter isn’t home yet.”
The woman then used communication magic to contact her maid.
And a few minutes later, the woman seemed to have finished calling and she told them how they were.
“Looks like they’re already on their way home. We’ll just have to wait…. Want some tea?”
“Oh, that’s good.”
Then, they walked towards the garden behind the castle not far from their passage.
When they got there, they sat in a pavilion and called the maid to prepare tea and some snacks.
And some time later, while enjoying tea and some snacks the two of them chatted.
“By the way, what’s new in the capital?”
“New news, huh…. There’s been a rumor that the Pillars Clan Heads have been coming to the palace for meetings since the past few months. And after I dig some information, it seems they’re discussing about a hybrid offspring of an Extra that was recently discovered.”
“Seems like from the Rofocale clan. But I’ve never heard of a clan with that name.”
“Rofocale? Hmm…. I’ve never heard of either…. Then, do you know the outcome of the meeting?”
“Yes. I heard that child will be granted High-class status and Territory.”
“A newly discovered hybrid is instantly granted High-class status and even Territory? How can that be?”
“I heard that child is the only one left of that Rofocale clan. Moreover, he also has a close relationship with Lord Mephisto Pheles and is considered a grandson by him. And, it seems that the child’s late mother was an old friend of the Four Devil Kings. Plus Again, it looks like his strength will soon reach Ultimate-class.”
“What!? So he’s related to Lord Pheles as well as the Four Devil Kings!? And his strength is almost Ultimate-class!?”
“I was also surprised when I heard about it.”
“Then? Anything else?”
“I heard that the Pure-blood Faction asked him to marry a pureblood as a formal wife…. Fufufu…. Are you interested? Putting aside his background as a hybrid, that child is the ideal son-in-law-to-be.”
“That’s true too.”
“Instead of your niece, why not you instead?”
“Huh? Me?”
“Fufufu…. You often say you want to marry a man younger than you, don’t you?”
“You’re kidding…. Although I don’t deny that, I am a Clan Head and he will soon become a Head as well…. So, it’s quite impossible.”

An hour later….
“I am home!”
In the midst of the two women being engrossed in their conversation, they heard a little girl’s voice.
“Oh, looks like they’re home.”
Before long, the two women saw a pink-haired little girl and a black-haired maid woman heading towards them.
“Mama, Auntie! I’m home!”
The little girl then smiled and hugged her mother, the woman with bright purple hair.
The mother also smiled and hugged her daughter back while stroking her head.
Meanwhile, the maid woman bowed to the two women.
“Mistress, Milady, I’m back.”
The two women responded by giving a small nod to the maid.
Then, the bright purple haired woman asked her daughter.
“Why did you come home late? Where did you go?”
“Ah! We went on an adventure to another territory!”
“Another territory? Fufufu. Tell me about that later…. It’s time to bath!”
“Yes~.”
Then, the woman with bright purple hair stood up and carried her daughter and then left.
After the mother and the little girl left, the pink-haired woman took a cup and poured tea and served it to the maid.
“Sit.”
The maid lady then sat down and took a sip of her tea.
“Thank you, Milady.”
Meanwhile, the pink-haired woman also took a sip of her tea and then asked.
“So where are you guys going?”
Hearing that question, the maid woman slightly lowered her head and answered.
“Sorry, Milady. We crossed the border and into Fallen-Angel territory.”
“What!? Why are you guys being so reckless!?”
“Sorry, Milady. The young lady insisted…. And if I weren’t sure that I could protect her, save us, and/or send an emergency message in case of trouble, I definitely wouldn’t have complied this time.”
Hearing that answer, the pink-haired woman held her forehead.
Then, she sighed.
“Hah~…. Luckily, you guys are okay.”
Then, the maid woman raised her head and spoke again with more serious expression.
“Milady, I have something else to report.”
“Hm? What’s wrong?”
“While we were exploring the Fallen-Angel region, near a large lake we found two people having a tough fight. However, it doesn’t look like they are really fighting seriously and is more like sparring.”
“Two people fighting? Who? Fallen-Angel?”
The pink-haired woman frowned slightly as she said her guess. But the maid woman shook her head in denial.
“No. They’re not Fallen-Angels.”
Then, the female maid still with a serious and slightly tense expression said her answer.
“They are a child and a woman…. And from my observations, I sensed a Devil aura from the child. But strangely, even though his aura was impure which meant he was a crossbreed, his strength was at least on par with High-class or even nearly Ultimate-class! …. As for the woman, I’m pretty sure she’s not a Devil. However, her aura is very strong and I suspect her strength is at least on par with Devil Kings or even more!”
Hearing the answer from her maid, the pink-haired woman looked quite wide-eyed and surprised!
Then, she seemed to be holding her chin and wondering.
“A Devil crossbreed and a woman from unknown background. And they’re that strong…. Who are they? And why are they in Fallen-Angel territory?”
“I don’t know either, Milady. When we found them they ignored us. And when we were about to leave, they just let us go too. So I’m not sure they’re enemies or what either.”
Hearing the maid’s additional statement, the pink-haired woman became even more curious.
But then, she suddenly stood up and stared as if she had remembered something.
“Wait! An almost Ultimate-class crossbreed!? Could it be him!?”
But then, she shook her head and sat back down.
“No. That’s impossible, right? That’s too much of a coincidence…. And after all, why would a Devil be in Fallen-Angel territory?”
The woman then fell silent and frowned, looking thoughtful.
Meanwhile, seeing the strange reaction of her master, the maid woman asked.
“Milady? Does Milady know who they are?”
Hearing the maid’s question, the pink-haired woman seemed to nod but then also shook her head.
“Maybe yes…. But I’m not sure.”
They then both fell silent and wondered who the two mysterious people really were.
Before long, the pink-haired woman sighed and shook her head.
“Hah~…. Never mind. There’s no point in thinking about that for now.”
Then, she looked at her maid and said.
“The day after tomorrow we have a match. Tell the others to gather tomorrow!”
“Yes, My [King]!”
Hearing her master’s orders, the maid bowed respectfully and then left.
Then, the pink-haired woman stared into the distance and chuckled.
“Fufu…. I hope we will meet soon… Rofocale-kun.”
