Ball and new acquaintances

After Albedo's words, my Father decided to intervene in our conversation:

— Thank you for the congratulations. I am glad to see you this night, Miss Albedo Yuki-Hime. How is your mother the Queen of the Southern Demon Country and the Succubus race? Father asked.

— She is now solving problems with the supply of food and equipment. Since she is busy, she decided to send me as her first daughter and heiress. She sends her deepest apologies that she could not attend in person. Albedo explained, and then bowed in apology.

— I understand and accept her and your apologies. I myself tried to organize a stable supply of food and equipment. The problem is very complicated, since our lands are not too good for growing large crops and transporting them through open roads. My Father replied.

— I myself am trying to help my Mother in any way I can, but it is difficult for us to solve this problem. I hope food supplies will be resolved in the near future. Albedo replied, supporting my Father's words.

While I was listening to all this, I noticed in my field of vision another figure standing right behind Albedo. At first I didn't notice her because Albedo attracted a lot of attention, but after looking closer, I kind of found out who it was…

— Miss Albedo, may I ask who is accompanying you? I asked Albedo with a smile on my face and also looking at the maid's figure.

Outwardly, she looked very beautiful. She has white and short hair almost to shoulder level. Yellow-green eyes. On the head there were horns very unlike anything else, which resembled rabbit ears. She had brown skin and tattoos under her eyes in the shape of a diamond inverted 90 degrees. She was dressed in a bright maid's uniform.

"This is Zest, my personal maid, as well as my bodyguard. Although she looks like a weak maid, she is already a strong Magician who can use level 5 magic. — Introduced Albedo to a maid named Zest, who bowed in greeting and stood behind Albedo.

That's for sure, the same Zest from the anime "At the behest of the infernal sister".

— I see. Miss Albedo, when will it be possible to meet you informally and just have a heart-to-heart chat over a cup of tea from Demo Vice? I asked Albedo with a kind smile on my face.

We still need to establish a good relationship with her. After all, she will be able to help me get a stable Demon Kingdom in the future. And she is also beautiful and very sexy, as is her maid Zest.

"And I'd also like to chat with your maid." I added with the same smile on my face.

— Hee-hee... ahem. I am very flattered by your offer, Your Majesty. And therefore I dare not refuse your request. When I am free, I will definitely send you a message through the magic circle. I also hope to try your so-called "Demo-weiss" tea. But since I still have things to do, I'm sorry, but I have to go. Albedo said with a smile, and then she left with her maid.

— Son, if you want to establish a good relationship with her, you will have to try. With such ladies it always seems easy at first glance, but in fact they are complex creatures. Although it can be easier with succubi. So good luck to you in this difficult task, have fun. — My Father said goodbye to me before going into the crowd, leaving me alone.

— Well, okay, I still need to establish positive relations among the demon nobles and have connections. I said to myself, going to the aforementioned nobles.

It took a long time, but I was able to find common topics for conversations with the nobles of my Kingdom. Yeah... I wasn't quite able to find a common language, there were different types of personalities with different interests and goals. Someone wanted riches for his house, and someone wanted only pleasure and enjoyment from the power of his house. There were even individuals with ambitions to gain the influence of the four countries. In general, the people here were diverse.

And when I got tired of all this, I decided to go to the table with drinks, but just a few meters away from me sat another familiar person.

A girl about fourteen years old was sitting on the floor. She has long bright pink hair tied in two cute ponytails. Her eyes were blue like the clear sky or the sea. She wore a strange outfit, a Gothic dress that barely covers her body. She also wore black panties and pink boots.

The girl herself was sitting on the floor and eating all sorts of sweets around her with both cheeks. She was especially quick to consume honey.

And in order to make sure that it was definitely her, I decided to get to know her.

— Hello, my name is Meliodas Diablo. What is your name, lovely miss? I asked the girl.

When I asked her, she stopped eating sweets for a couple of seconds and looked at me.

— Hi, my name is Milim Nava-Rav. Diablo, I'm glad to meet you. Milim reciprocated.

And it looks like I was right. This is the same Milim from the anime "About my rebirth into slime". When she introduced herself, she continued to devour sweets.

— Milim, tell me, do you have any friends? I asked her, but the reaction I expected was a sharp pause and Milim's stupor.

— No... oh... yes, I have... friends ... um... I just decided... to collect sweets for them! That's right, I just decided to collect sweets for MY friends! I have friends! — At first Milim spoke uncertainly and almost doubtfully, but in the end she had a high tone of confidence, but you can see a slight sadness in her eyes. Therefore, to the conclusion, I can say that she has no friends. And in order to immediately understand the whole situation, I decided to check its status:

---

{Status}

[First and Last Name — Milim Nava-Rav]

[Level — 199]

[Age — 501]

[Gender — Female]

[Demon Race]

[Racial abilities — Demonic aura, demonic transformation, berserk.???]

[Abilities -???]

[Skills -???]

{Features}

[Strength -???]

[Dexterity -???]

[Endurance -???]

[Protection -???]

[Mana -???]

---

If I remember correctly, then this level puts her in the "Archdemon". In the Kingdom, we officially have six such strong personalities of this rank of strength. And it looks like Milim is one of them. Most likely because of her strength, few people want to be friends with her. And if you look at the age, then this is a long problem.

It's better to have a good relationship with her and it's even good for me, because she's so cute.

— If so, then let me be your friend? I asked Milim, who had continued to eat sweets with a sad face before, but after my words she froze again.

Then Milim began to look, then at the sweets, then at me and so on in a circle. It lasted about ten minutes until Milim answered:

— Okay, I'll be your friend! But if you deceive me and leave me, then know! I will beat you very hard! And I'm hitting very, very hard! Milim demanded loudly and clearly. If I think from everything that I have understood, she is trying to hide her fear in this way that she will most likely be abandoned. Probably her last friends did so.

Milim put down her sweets and together we started running and having fun at the ball. We even staged a little prank in the garden on the balcony of the castle, where all sorts of nobles gathered to spend a little night of lust, because there were many places and flowers blocking the view.

Milim and I simply imitated an adult voice and imitated that other nobles were coming to them, so many remained unsatisfied.

In general, I was having fun with Milim, as if I had returned to my childhood. And already at the end of the whole ball, Milim and I began to say goodbye.

- * Whimper* I don't want to leave my only friend..." Milim said with light tears, hugging me at the exit of the castle. And it looks like she confessed that I'm her only friend.

— Don't worry, Milim, I'm not always leaving. When there's time, I'll send you a magical message and we can have fun together again! I replied to Milim's sad words.

- * Whimper* Really? Milim asked, slightly uncertain.

In response, I just hugged her harder and whispered in her ear.

— Really. Don't worry, I won't leave you, we're friends. I said in a soft and gentle voice.

— Okay, I'll believe you. Just don't you dare be late, or I'll be offended! Milim replied sharply, in a very serious and demanding tone. Then she left the castle, and I went to my room.

And as soon as I was at home, I immediately began to prepare for moving to Purgatory.

- (Niva, why don't I have the "Gate to Purgatory" spell in my status?) I asked mentally.

[Because you haven't mastered it. You just said the spell in your head and gave her the mana to cast. As a result, you almost killed yourself unsuccessfully! And to master it, you need many years of training with magic, and with your talent for magic, it will take a lot of time.] — Replied Niva.

— (Yeah... and what are you offering me? How do I get into Purgatory then?! It's just awful!) — I expressed myself loudly in my thoughts.

[I can already solve this problem. Since the spell was delivered in the form of memories, I can become an intermediary and open the gates to Purgatory, while using the mana stones [ur8] as a catalyst for energy.] — Said Niva in a calm voice. I feel like I've just been lectured and shown my place.

- (Phew. Thank you, Niva, that I have you. I would have died without your help. And even if you are not perfect, I will remember your positive qualities.) — Mentally I tried to compliment my Field.

[I won't give you anything for compliments, but thank you. When you say the command, I will open the gate to Purgatory. Remember, there may be lower demons from the anime world in which Purgatory was created. I ask you to be careful and good luck to you.] — Niva warned me.

- (Thank you, Niva. Open the gate! Now I need to quickly learn how to control my powers of the Supreme Demon) — I mentally ordered Niva.

Then a black gate appeared in the middle of the room, similar to human bones, covered with a dark substance. I quickly enter Purgatory, as it is unknown how long the portal will last.
