Tsubaki and Grayfia left the room, leaving only four people inside. Before they left, they had already prepared tea for the four people so they could talk freely.
The maid said she needed to see Riser Phenex off so they wouldn't feel disrespected and excused herself. Tsubaki knew that it wasn't her place to stay inside and followed Grayfia outside.
As the Queens left the room, Sirzechs sipped the tea and put it back on the table. He crossed his legs and looked at Jin with a smile.
"Hyoudou Jin-kun. That was a really good duel. I was really impressed. I heard from Sona that you are strong, but not to that extent. Your strength might rival High-Class Devils already." He praised Jin once again, showing his sincerity.
"Thank you. But as I had said earlier, I only did my best. I am only lucky that I can use Holy Magic, so I was able to win against Riser a bit easier. If I have no Holy Magic, then I wouldn't be able to handle him." Jin said.
Of course, he was lying. He still had the POD, Youjutsu, and Senjutsu. He had no ti to show his strength, so he chose to be humble in front of Sirzechs to get his favor.
'Soone might even call this licking his boots, but Sirzechs is really strong. I am confident with my System and still couldn't find its limit, but I better not make him my enemy until I gained a strong ally. Even so, I think it's still better to be on his good side.'
Better to make more allies than enemies.
Sirzechs was also different from Azazel. With the latter, he could joke around as they were people from the sa cut. The fallen leader loved breasts, while Jin loved milk. They were similar, indeed.
"You're so humble. I only told the truth. For a human without Sacred Gear, you are already strong enough. I have so questions though." Sirzechs looked at Jin seriously. He still had a smile on his face, but the air around him changed.
'Here it is.' Jin thought, already predicting that Sirzechs would question him.
It would even be stranger if Sirzechs had no question. It would scare him, even. Because when soone usually had no questions, they either didn't care about him or wanted to erase him.
So Jin relaxed his body and smiled, showing his sincerity. "Please feel free to."
Hearing Jin's words made Sirzechs relax a bit. He put his legs down and leaned a bit closer.
"Alright. Where did you learn Holy Magic?"
'So that's really it.'
This question was within a margin of his prediction. Holy Magic was sothing taught in the church, and only so humans could use it. They were often used more by Angels and the Fallen Angels.
There was no guarantee that Sirzechs could trace his lie, so he chose a rather obscure answer.
"If you ask like that, then my answer is I just did it. I believe you've heard of being attacked by a mad exorcist, no?"
"Yes. I've read Rias' report about that incident. That was quite dangerous for you."
Rias and Sona nodded at the side.
The bespectacled girl fixed her glasses and said, "Indeed, Lucifer-sama. Jin almost died at that ti, but I properly compensated for it by teaching him how to use simple Magic to defend himself. He can already do so martial arts, so I believe that's sufficient."
Sirzechs looked at Sona. "Oh? So you were the one who taught him about how to use Magic? May I ask why? You can just erase Jin-kun's mories about the incident."
"There are various reasons, but The main reason was the exorcist kept targeting him. If Jin-kun had no mories of the exorcist, then he wouldn't be able to know about his attacker. The second reason is Hyoudou Issei."
"Ah, the Sekiryuutei." Sirzechs nodded. "Indeed. Teaching him how to defend himself using Magic instead of erasing his mories is safer. Dangers will always co to him as long as he's around Sekiryuutei. That makes sense. Thank you, Sona."
"No problem, Lucifer-sama." Sona nodded with a smile.
"Now then." Sirzechs turned to Jin. "Can you explain how you managed to use Holy Magic? I am sorry if this sounds like an interrogation, but I am a bit protective of my family, you know? I can't let danger co close to my family."
"Onii-sama" Rias muttered to the side, looking down. She couldn't believe her brother said that after what had happened to her, but she also couldn't help but trust her brother. She couldn't hate him for it, but calling Jin a danger was too much even for her.
'Jin Even though he did that for . I I am the worst, aren't I? I like him, but I keep pushing that feeling aside, making excuses. Even now, my Onii-sama is suspicious of Jin even after he helped win my freedom back.'
Rias could no longer stay silent. She wanted to help Jin.
"Jin isn't a danger, Onii-sama. He helped without looking for compensation!" Rias pleaded, her voice filled with a resolution.
Even Jin was a bit surprised when Rias spoke. He had already prepared an answer to Sirzechs' question, but this situation was better.
From what he observed so far and from asking Sona about the Gremory family, he found out about one thing. They treasure their family above all.
So he knew that Sirzechs actually loved Rias. But due to so complications with politics and heir to continue the Devil's blood, he couldn't help but engage Rias to Phenex's son.
That was one reason why Jin wanted to show off his strength. While he wasn't a Devil, he was confident that Sirzechs would allow Rias to be with him if he was strong enough.
'He will allow Rias to stay with . And if possible, he wanted Rias to turn into a Devil. Or at least that's what I would do if I were in his position. But now Rias actually helped both of us. The talk can continue without lying to Sirzechs. But still, I should answer his question.'
"Please don't worry, Rias. I can answer Lucifer-sama's question. He's just worried about you." He said, looking at Rias.
"Jin" Rias said, "Alright." Then she nodded her head, turning to Sirzechs. "Just let tell you, Onii-sama. Jin has never tried to get close to . I am the one that gets close to Jin!" She pointed her hand at Sirzechs before crossing her arms under her breasts.
'Look at that. She can say what's in her mind now.' Jin thought, smirking a little bit.
Sirzechs looked troubled, so Jin continued.
"I analyzed the Light Sword that the mad exorcist carried. I also saved a nun from the exorcist, and she was the one who taught how to use Holy Magic. I hope that answers your question, Lucifer-sama." He explained.
Yes, he would use Asia as an excuse. And it seed like Sirzechs believed him as he nodded his head.
"I see. Well, I will leave another question in the future. Unfortunately, I need to go now." Sirzechs stood up. "It's really nice to et you, Jin-kun. I hope we can et again." Then he extended his right hand to Jin.
Jin stood up and grabbed his hand. "I hope we can et again."
The handshake lasted only a few seconds. Sirzechs then left the room, leaving three teenagers behind.
"I guess it went well?" Sona muttered.
"Huh? What happened?" Rias asked, confused.
Sona held her sigh. She didn't think that her friend wouldn't be able to know what happened when it ca to her own brother. Jin only smiled and let Sona handle it.
"It ans that your brother approved of you staying with Jin. Is that clear, Rias?" She said.
