"Grayfia, it has been far too long, why have you not come to visit before? Is it because of your new young master here? Hello Prince Gremory, I am Lady Cleria Belial, and I rule this territory. It is an honor to finally meet you. Every Devil knows about you, and now I finally have met the brother of Devil King Lucifer. Did you know even my cousin, the rating game champion, wants to meet you?"
"Thank you for allowing me to visit Kuoh Town Lady Belial. Honestly, I love this place, it is so different from our Underworld. And please tell your cousin I pass my greetings to him. I am a fan of his Rating Game matches. I watch them all. His use of your family's [Worthless] ability is genius."
She was very happy to hear me compliment her cousin, and soon we engaged in informal conversation...
On the second floor Food-Court, Grayfia said to me.
"Young master Ray, I am now going to talk about some confidential topics, so feel free to look around the mall and purchase anything you want. Just do not leave the mall, okay?"
"Sister Grayfia, I understand."
Grayfia then handed me a thick stack of Yen bills, and sent me off on my adventure in the mall!
As I darted off to go play, both women gave me a warm smile...
I was unaware how my potent Gremory Bloodline powers influenced simple daily trips...
I was unaware how my potent Gremory Bloodline powers influenced simple daily trips...
As an almost 5 year old, with some memories of a past life as a Human, and huge wad of cash, where do you think the first place I would go would be? If you said the Arcade Center downstairs, than you my friend earned a high score!
But before I run in there to my fate, let me explain something about being a Gremory Devil...
If you ever watched the anime like me, you would wonder things like... How did Rias Gremory bump into Issei, Akeno, Kiba, and Gasper at their most dire moments?
The answer is one of the many Gremory Powers that are strong in her. But I tell you this because my brother, father, and I, all have this same characteristic. It is the ability to find, Talents, Treasures, Wealth, and the Affection of all women, especially Maidens.
Part of this gift is also the ability to hide and accumulate wealth. We are also a master of Love Matches. This last one was shown in the anime when Rias helped Issei with the Samurai drill-hair woman.
The last Power granted to us the Gremory? It is more of a passive ability. We do not have powers like Worthless, Hole, Power of Destruction, Water, or Ice Magic, but instead we Gremory have something even better... Magic Superiority. This means we have more control and talent casting Demonic Magic compared to other Devils.
Now you are like, 'hey but you bastard also have Power of Destruction, and you use it better than the Bael can!' You are very right, good sirs. The Power of Gremory not only snagged Bael's power but made it stronger than the original.
For example, both my brother and I can use the Power of Destruction better than our grandfather, thanks to our Gremory blood, phew...
I went off on a tangent there. Back to my Arcade Encounter. Well the power to find talent or opportunity is like Luck. It lets me know when something special is near, like a living Dragon Ball Radar. Okay, if you do not understand my point by now, you never will. The take away though... Opportunity's just fall in my lap without trying. It is like Plot Armor or a Protagonist Halo.
So as I stood in-front of the arcade Center, I had a feeling like there was something in there I desperately wanted to find. It feels like an urge to find buried treasure, calling to me, and feels like a tingle in my spine to rush in and steal the wealth.
Before I went in, I looked up to the second level and waved to Grayfia, so she knew where I was, then I entered the Electric Shangri-La...

Ring Ting Ting Ding Ding! A cacophony of sounds bombarded my senses as I walked into the Arcade.
I took in everything I could, and spotted the prize and token counter. I then headed there to get my pocket full of tokens from the games.
The University student looked at me and asked.
"Hey kid, does your mom know you are here alone?"
"Mister, don't you worry, my sister is upstairs right now talking to the owner of the mall, the nice woman with grey hair, you know her right? So yes they both are looking down on me from upstairs. Can I buy tokens now?"
His eyes opened knowing the pretty owner and smiled. Soon I gave him Yen and I received a small box of tokens. Then I looked for my first victim. I was a good player of arcade games in my Human life, so I was seeing all the new games and vintage retro games. I found what I was looking for...
"Yes! Street Fighter 2, Chun Lee here I come, he-he!"
When the Street Fighter game first came out, it was all about the hot woman with meaty Kung-Fu thighs. Riser Phenex was a pervert to cosplay his Rook after her, sigh.

After ten minutes, I decided to try other things, and that tingling in my spine was tugging at me to go back deeper into the arcade... So I went.
I saw an older mother who was a foreigner sitting on a bench for parents in the corner, and then I noticed a small child roughly around 3 to 4 years of age, looking sad at the Air-Hockey game. When I neared the little girl, my hunch brought me to her.
So I walked up to the girl with chestnut hair (Chestnut hair is a rich brown with red undertones.) and I asked.
"Hi, did you want to play this game? If you want, can I be your partner?"
The little girl with twin tails looked at me with her violet eyes, and nodded her head and said.
"The other kids won't play with me, thank you."
