4 Strange families.

why is he here?

I screamed internally while staring at the super devil in shock.

"congratulations, it's a boy,"

The person who said those words with none other than the Maou himself. Sirzechs gremory, a super devil. Going by the intensely hidden aura that I'm currently detecting, it's not some kind of hallucination.

My body starts trembling uncontrollably as his face approaches mine.

How is he here? Why is he here?

Was I discovered?

Was this the end of the line?

Did whatever reincarnate me piss off this transcendent and now he's come to the finish me off because he couldn't do it while I was still in the womb?

With those chaotic thoughts bombarding the inside of my head, I start unconsciously weeping.

"××××××××××!"

Another voice, a woman's. I recognized her. Undoubtedly that is Serafal leviathan. with her voice arrival, my trembling and tears increase.

Not just her, two more voice appear. Male.

"××××××××××?? "

"××××××××××××××××××××."

Why why why. Why are they all here?

"××××××××××××××××××××?"

""××××?"

Finally a female voice, my mother's. She's asking them for something. Due to currently having a mental breakdown I'm incapable of perceiving what they're saying. my consciousnesses is fading, I'm passing out.

"××××××××."

Before I truly succumb to the darkness. a voice echoes out to me. a voice I am am somehow capable of perceiving. Sirzechs's voice.

"××××××××"

"His name shall be ×××××××××"

______

Two and a half years has passed since my birth.

To put it mildly, this first year was a living hell. one cannot put into words the pain of experiencing Life as a baby again.

my first few week was filled with nothing short of absolute paranoia at the fact that I might have been discovered. I was always in fear that I might be killed at any moment.

Needless to say, that was a meaningless worry.

As to why the first person I saw was sirzechs was pretty soon discovered. It indeed had something to do with my Identity. Or more precisely, the identity of my mother.

My mother, turns out to be the queen of Venelana gremory.

But that alone would not have been enough to summon the presence of a satan. Let alone four. Not even close.

Next, the second reason, which is the real reason he was there. aside from my birth, that day was also Rias's birthday.

Yep, that's right. I share the same birthday as the main heroine. I was born about an hour before she was. Fate is such an amazing thing, isn't it?

When I realized this, I immediately felt the need to thank God. and from God, I received a a migraine that felt like I was kicked in the side of the head by a steel toed boot.

Proceeded to thank him three more times.

So yes in actuality, they weren't there for me. But primarily for her. the others just simply came along for the show.

Miraculous twins of red and blue.

Not only because of our hair color or the fact that we were born at the same day at the same time. We're actually also the only two children born in their territory in the last 3 years.

with the devil's extreme lifespan, comes low fertility rate.

There is precedent for something like this happening amongst humans, it happens every day, everywhere. but it's an absolutely astronomical probability for devils.

From that, Lord and Lady gremory actually consider me as an extended family member. Especially since it seems like I have no father.

it seems he was ambushed in a trap summoning by a bunch of extremist exorcist on the Earth four months into my mother's pregnancy. I wasn't conscious at that time so I have absolutely no idea what he looks like or what his personality was.

the gremory's are an affectionate family who shower their family members with an Unholy amount of love, and also treat the citizens and commoners within their domain with fairness and respect. although it's not rare, It is just that this type of treatment is not what you will find in quite a lot of territories. especially those more beholden to the old ways.

So like my prediction in the womb, it truly came through. I truly did become the childhood friend rias gremory

"What are you thinking about, Lin?"

Two hands sneak up from behind me undetected while I was in thought. a soft and fair hand. but that's all deceitful. These are a pair of absolutely evil hands that won't let go once it's got its claws into something. These hands belong to none other than my mother. a tall blue haired woman wearing a pair of black glasses. Coupled with that white lab coat, she looks like your typical scientist. No, she is one.

"I'm thinking about what type of ability I should make." I responded as she lifted me up.

"Got any recommendations?"

"Nope, that's not up to me to decide. that's your problem to deal with." she replied, with the same calm stoic voice as she always does.

A strange conversation that normally should not be happening between a two-year-old child and his mother. But there are two main reasons for this phenomenon. the first main reason was because of the inborn natural ability within all devils to understand any and all forms of language in the world. this, coupled with the learning ability of a baby, creates an absolutely interesting situation where a devil infant could be fully capable of speech within the first few weeks to months of their birth.

But of course, this does not equate to intelligence.

In my case, or at least from the perspective of my mother, a type of telepathic link was formed between me and her while I was in the womb and she's capable of sending data and knowledge through that link. This is what she believes to be the case, and I feel no need to correct her on it. because it is half true as I can receive data through this link.

Thanks to that, I can bulshit my way into convincing the people around me that I'm simply a really intelligent child.

"So what's the schedule for today?" i asked.

"Nothing much, I got a delayed project I need complete at the technical department so I'll be gone for most of the day. and you have a scheduled play date with Rias"

"So I'll be with lady venelana today again? she's practically my second mother" I responded sarcastically. "You're not fit for this job, do what you need to do"

"I'm sorry for being a lazy mother, but research comes first"

"I'm sorry for being a extremely low maintenance child, but research comes first"

"You really are a perfect child, you understand me so well"

""Ha ha ha ha ha""

We as a mother and son pair can be said to be extremely strange. A mother, obsessed with her work, and a child who enables her in order to receive silence and solitude as he conducts his own research. But regardless of anything, our love for each other is genuine. in addition, thanks to the telepathic link, regardless of where we are in the world, we are never truly separate from each other.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my name.

The name granted upon me by lord Maou Sirzechs was -- Linnaeus.

Linnaeus B Chandraneel.

Son of Livianna Chandraneel and the late Victas Bune.

Prospective Harem King and Future super devil.

You can call me Lin for short.
