│1st Person POV of Meliodas│
[Underworld Realm, Leviathan City…]
"What would you like, Melio-tan? Just name it, and your Sera-nee-chan will have it delivered in minutes."
Serfall declared as we walked through the streets of the Leviathan City.
We were taking a stroll through the city to look for a place so that we could celebrate the completion of the first teaser episode for the third season of Miracle☆Levia-tan.
Following a few steps behind us was Samara. She was once again assigned the duty of watching over me.
Over the last few weeks, I have been visiting Serafall's city quite frequently.
It wasn't feasible for both of them, Samara and Ophelia, to accompany me every time. They both have their own set of duties to perform after all.
So, only one of them accompanies me on my outings now.
The Leviathan City, one of the four Satan Capital Cities, was the place where various embassies from different factions were located.
The Foreign Affairs Department, under the leadership of Serafall, is the one responsible for maintaining connections with them.
Under such circumstances, the city also became a trading hub with people of different races coming here for many reasons.
It was slightly surprising to learn that the Supernatural side of the World also worked in a way similar to the Human World.
Or is it the Supernatural World influencing the Human World to work in this manner?
Anyway, as we walked through the city, we gathered quite a lot of attention as the people stopped to gawk at us. Even as they stopped in place, they possessed enough sense to not obstruct us.
It was a normal reaction I would say.
After all, it was not every day you get to see the Satan of Foreign Affairs strolling the streets with a kid.
I am sure that after today, I will become a known figure among the majority of Supernatural Factions.
While this wasn't the first time I visited Leviathan City, all the previous visits were limited to the premises of the Miracle Studio only.
Neither Samara nor Ophelia were ever willing to let me tour the city for fear of attracting the wrong kind of attention.
So, I roped Serafall into giving me a tour when she expressed her desire to reward me for coming up with a good plot for her magical girl show, leading to the current situation.
I didn't find the attention annoying at all. Rather, it seems like I very much like to be the center of attention of everyone around me.
"Well, is there a place here which will serve us Omurice? I want to try that dish. Preferably made by a native from Japan." I finally answered Serafall's question.
In my last life, I always wanted to try Omurice at least once. So many anime promoted the dish that I was very curious to taste it.
Never got the chance to do so though.
"Hmm…" Serafall made a thinking face, without breaking our stride, "Ah, I remember just the right place for that. Let's go."
Immediately after, I saw a small magic circle appearing near her face. A communication spell, huh?
Then, she spoke into the magic circle, giving some orders to the person on the other side of the spell before the magic circle disappeared.
Some minutes later, we were standing in front of a shop, with a traditional Japanese design.
Parting the red curtain at the entrance, Serafall led us in. The interior of the restaurant was filled with a cozy atmosphere.
Ignoring the large empty dining area, Serafall took us to the long wooden counter running along the cooking area.
The place is empty, even though the restaurant is located in a prime spot because it was emptied by Serafall's subordinates on her order.
The three of us settled onto the cushioned seats at the counter, with Samara on my left and Serafall on my right.
Behind the counter, the cooking area is being manned by a single man looking like an absolutely normal human.
His aura was different, not like anything I sensed from the people from various races while coming here.
If he really is a human, then it makes sense because I have yet to meet a single human in this life.
Although I can sense he is strong, as strong as Samara.
"Good afternoon, Iwaki-chan. It seems that you have grown even older since the last time I saw you. " Serafall greeted cheerfully.
The man, Iwaki, returned the greeting with a respectful bow, "Good afternoon, Leviathan-san. It's good to have you visit my humble shop again."
It seems they are familiar with each other.
"Mou~~ Why did you stop calling me Levia-tan? You are not as fun as you were when we first met." Serafall said with a pout on her face.
The man raised his head and simply smiled at her, "I am older now. I am not as energetic as I used to be."
"That's why you should have accepted my offer to join my Peerage."
To even gain a chance to join her peerage, this guy must have been really close to Serafall.
After all, Serafall gained her Evil Pieces hundreds of years ago and she still only has three people in her Peerage.
Behemoth, Masako Nana, and Aya Kohaku.
"Hahaha~! It's alright, Leviathan-san. I am quite satisfied with where I am now." Iwaki laughed before requesting while looking at me and Samara.
"Would you mind introducing your companions?"
Serafall cheered up, her gloom at Iwaki's rejection disappearing completely as she enthusiastically introduced us, "Sure! This is Melio-tan.
"He is the deuteragonist for the third season of my Magical Girl show. And beside him is Samara, the Queen Piece of his mother."
"Is that so? Then you must be quite the talented actor to gain the deuteragonist role while being so young. I am Iwaki Nakamura. It's a pleasure to meet you both." Iwaki gave a short bow.
I tilted my head in acknowledgment and said, "Well met, Mr. Iwaki. I am Meliodas, Heir to the Valefor and Zagan Clans."
Samara, on the other hand, returned Iwaki's short bow with one of her own, showing him respect. Most likely because he was acknowledged by Serafall.
"So, may I take your order now?" He asked.
Serafall answered in response, "Melio-tan wanted to try Omurice, Iwaki-chan. So I brought him here. You are the best Japanese Cook after all."
Hearing her say that with so much pride, my anticipation for the upcoming meal has risen quite high. I hope Iwaki can meet my expectations.
"Three Omurice coming right up."
Iwaki declared before going into the kitchen and started preparing our meal.
Watching Iwaki work around the cooking area with a supernatural speed, I asked Serafall, "How do you know him, Sera-nee-chan?"
"Oh, I met him some twenty years ago when he summoned me using a Summoning Contract. He was still in his twenties then.
"I remember our first meeting quite well. After all, it was then Iwaki-chan introduced me to the wondrous world of magical girls."
Serafall explained with a bright smile on her face.
"It was night time and he was in the courtyard of his house when he summoned me. As I teleported in front of him, surrounded by the light of my Teleportation Magic Circle, he exclaimed "A magical girl?!".
"That was the first time I heard the term magical girl. Then, when the time came to pay for completing his wish, I asked him to explain about magical girls and everything he knew about them.
"Then, I was immediately hooked by the genre and my journey to become the best magical girl started. Isn't that amazing, Melio-tan?"
Wow! Just wow!
This guy was the one who basically created the magical girl Serafall Leviathan.
Looking at Iwaki, I couldn't help but say, "Mr. Iwaki, you have my heartfelt thanks for introducing the concept of magical girls of Sera-nee-chan!!"
"Hahahaha~!"
Iwaki started laughing loudly while Serafall buried me into her bosom with an exclamation, "That is why I say you are the best, Melio-tan!"
I ignore Samara's groaning and wholeheartedly enjoy the feeling of my face being buried in Serafall's breasts.
A little while later, things calmed down and I was back in my seat.
"By the way, Sera-nee-chan. You do contracts even though you are a Satan?"
"I do. Whenever I get bored, I randomly throw a dart on the world map and then send my familiar to spread one to three Summoning Contracts on the location where the dart lands.
"Of course I throw the dart again if the location it lands on is a territory of some other factions." Serafall answered.
Minutes passed as Serafall and I chatted while waiting for the food to arrive.
A few times, I tried to involve Samara in our conversation. But, she just wasn't on the same wavelength as us.
"Here, three servings of Omurice."
Iwaki set three plates in front of us respectively, causing a well-spring of aroma to assault my nose.
Huuu~!
I took a deep breath and I have to say, the smell was heavenly and I could feel myself salivating.
Not wasting any time, I grabbed the spoon and eagerly dug into the dish, taking the first bite.
Mmm—!
Immediately, a muted moan escaped my lips as an explosion of flavor assaulted my taste buds. I took my time savoring the bite, thoroughly chewing the contents before gulping it down.
Opening my eyes, I looked at the dish in front of me and exclaimed, "This… This is the food of the Gods."
"Hahaha~! Thank you for the praise, Heir Valefor-Zagan."
Iwaki's voice broke me out of my stupor.
I looked at him and said jokingly, "If I already had my Evil Piece Set, I may have reincarnated you forcefully."
Iwaki laughed even harder at that, not taking any offense.
"It's good, right? Hehe~! Your Sera-nee-chan will always give you the best things, Melio-tan."
Serafall promised from the side before she dug into her own plate.
Even Samara was eating with a satisfied expression on her face after expressing her thanks to Iwaki.
I also focused my attention on eating, savoring each bite without any haste.
A few minutes and another serving of Omurice later, just as Iwaki took the dishes for washing, I asked the question that had been bugging me from the moment we entered this place.
"Mr. Iwaki, do you manage the restaurant all alone? This place looks quite big."
Iwaki answered while doing the dishes, he didn't have to shout as we could hear his voice even from here because of our supernatural senses, "No, I have a waiter to take care of mundane things.
"Like taking orders from customers, bringing them food, taking payments, etc. I manage the kitchen by myself though.
"Paraphrase: And if you're curious about how I manage to keep up with cooking everyone's orders, particularly during rush hours, the answer is my Sacred Gear.
"I was born with the Sacred Gear Lightning Edge."
