"This place never changes."
Ars was sitting on the couch crossing his legs, his behaviour was completely inappropriate. However, Marie did not mind and maintained a friendly smile on her beautiful face.
"This is all because grandfather did not want to change the decoration of this villa, he said this place is full of memories.” said Marie.
"Little Marie, did you know that this villa area used to be a slum?"
"I know grandfather turned the slums into this villa, that's all I know."
"Before Nicholas reached the peak of his career, he lived in the slums. Maybe the reason for building a villa here is because it feels nostalgic."
"It turns out that way... Grandpa never told me he was from the slums."
Marie had only heard this for the first time, if her uncle had not told her, she would never have known.
"It's no surprise that you don't know, Nicholas doesn't like to tell his story when he's poor."
Ars remembers his friend's personality and already suspects his descendants don't know their grandfather's true past.
Marie was eager to ask Ars' real identity, but he held back and stale base first.
While the two were having a conversation, Sebastian came pushing while on a trolley.
"Sorry to interrupt the discussion, young lady."
As a butler, he showed elegant etiquette.
"En, is the banquet ready?" A little nodding, Marie asked.
"The chef and other staff work to the fullest extent possible, please wait for a moment."
Sebastian puts the tea on the table, then puts a box of cigars along with a cutting tool and a lighter in front of Ars..
Ars took one cigar from the box, looking at his brand, he said with a smile.
"Louix... You know my favorite cigar, Sebas. It's not wrong that Nicholas chose you to be the butler of the time."
"You... Could it be Mr Ars?"
Sebastian's old body trembled slightly after hearing the other party's words. If previously he still had doubts, now he was sure that the young man before him was really his master's friend.
Ars did not answer immediately, cut the tip of the cigar, burn the tip, suck the cigar, then exhale smoke from his mouth.
"During the time we didn't see each other, Sebas. You're getting old, I barely recognize you anymore."
"You really are Mr. Ars... How unlikely... Your appearance is still the same as it was 20 years ago."
Even a person born like Sebastian couldn't help but be shocked after getting the other party's confirmation.
"That's the question little Marie asked me, you want to know too?" Ars enjoys sucking cigars and says lightly.
"If you don't mind." Sebastian said frankly.
"Uncle Ars, don't make me wonder any longer, what's the secret of your youth?" Marie said in a spoiled tone.
"There's no secret."
"Eh?"
"Hm?"
Marie and Sebastian were astonished, in their minds Ars might have drunk the Tears of Life, Elixir, the Stone of the Philosphere, or any other Eternity Potion.
The answer was very unexpected.
"I know you're confused, but I'm telling you the truth. From the beginning, I wasn't human like you guys."
Seeing the confused reaction of the two, Ars did not rush to clarify, and sucked the cigar in his mouth.
He was an active smoker even before he was reincarnated. Now immortal and unable to suffer from illness, he felt a loss if he did not use his immortality to smoke.
"Uncle Ars wasn't lying, was he? An immortal or something, it's just a bedtime story of children." Marie pouted and felt played with.
Sebastian does not express his opinion, and patiently waits for the next explanation.
"It's only natural that you don't believe, after all it's been 500 years since the appearance of Satan, the people who know it have long since died, and they don't leave history for the next generation."
"Alright, let me tell you the story buried by human ancestors."
Ars begins to tell the story of Satan who nearly exterminated mankind 500 years ago, and Idaten who stopped them. Of course this story is based on a known version of Rin.
He often went to human settlements to play, through the books in the library, he did not find any books that recorded the history of the Devil's invasion 500 years ago. Not only that, he had never heard of humans discussing about Devils, as if they were unaware of the existence of Idaten and Demons.
He suspected that the people living in that era did not want future generations to know the suffering they experienced, so they agreed not to leave any information about Satan and Idaten.
After all, history is written by the victor, although not humans who defeat Satan, but Idaten. However, the remaining Idaten, namely Rin, he does not know the matter, even if he knows, he will not care.
10 Minutes later, the story is over.
Marie and Sebastian who knew the truth became speechless.
If someone else told them this story, that person would be considered insane. But both have to believe because Ars has shown proof of his immortality.
"Mistake sure Mr. Ars is finding it very difficult."
Sebastian looked at Ars with a different view.
"Why did you say that?" Ars asked confusedly.
"Idaten not only saved humanity, you are the savior of the world, but no next generation of humans know about it, this is very ironic." Sebastian says his thoughts.
Even Marie looked at Ars with shame, because of the behavior of human ancestors who did not appreciate their savior.
"Ah, you two needn't have any trouble. Although I said Idaten fought and ended up sacrificing myself to seal the Devil, I did not participate in the war 500 years ago, because I was new to the peaceful generation."
Ars cleared up misunderstandings.
"Eh?"
Marie and Sebastian stared at each other.
"Uncle Ars has lived how long?" Ask Marie curiously.
"Hmmm.... Hard to calculate accurately, I think about 80 years. I'm not too old, even Nicholas is older than me."
"80 years... Uncle Ars doesn't look like an 80-year-old at all."
"I also want to be young."
Marie was a little jealous of Idaten's racial flair.
The door of the room opened, and a beautiful maid said the preparations for the banquet were ready.
"Young lady, Mr. Ars, let's come to the dining room."
In front of the other servants, Sebastian returns to butler mode.
"Let's go, Uncle Ars."
"En."
They went to the dining room.
Arriving in the dining room, Ars sees a large table filled with plenty of food, which could feed ten people.
"Isn't this too wasteful just for lunch?" Ars glanced at Marie who was already sitting on the chair.
"It's all set up specifically for Uncle Ars." Marie closed her mouth and laughed.
"Mr Ars always ate a lot, so I decided to prepare a lot of dishes." Touching his chest, Sebastian said lightly
"It's been a long time, you remember."
Ars wanted to sit down, but a waiter pulled a chair for him, then he sat down.
"Please enjoy, Uncle Ars, I hope it suits your taste."
Using a knife and fork, Marie started eating steak.
Ars tasted lobster dishes first, after eating, he gave his compliments.
"En, this is delicious."
"I'm going to give Mr. Ars a compliment to the chef."
Sebastian bowed slightly and said respectfully.
"Pop... Nyams... Nyam's..."
Idatens can live without eating, but that doesn't mean they can't mean meaning. Ars enjoys the food at the table, and most of the food is eaten by him.
...
"Fiuh~... I'm full, thanks for the hospitality."
At the entrance of the villa, Ars patted his flat stomach, despite having eaten a lot, his stomach did not become distended.
"No, no, no, I'm glad I could host Uncle Ars, please come next time."
Marie wants to maintain a good relationship with a creature beyond human reason, Idaten.
"Well, little Marie treats me so well compared to your father." Ars said.
Nicholas had a son named Henry. Ars did not like him much, as the boy did not inherit his father's wise nature, and his nature was very arrogant and hedonic.
He even doubted Hendrik was Nicholas' biological son or not. If it wasn't for the lack of a tool to check the DNA, Ars would have asked his friend to do the test.
"Ha Ha Ha... Dad's just a little eccentric..." Marie laughed blandly about her father's immoral behavior.
Ars wanted to go, pat his forehead, he remembered not saying anything important.
"Oh, right. I forgot to deliver this, as a gift meeting from me, I'll give little Marie a promise."
"Promise?"
Marie's eyes sparkled brightly. A promise from Ars is worth more than gold and diamonds, after all his family is already very rich.
"Yeah, I'll protect your family for three generations. During that period of time, no one will be able to disturb your family, no matter who! So, use that time to develop properly."
Ars did not want his friend's family to be destroyed by the depravity of his successor, therefore he made this promise.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Ars."
As an intelligent woman, Marie knew how valuable the promise was, so she did not have to worry about attacks from families or other factions, who wanted to stop their families from growing.
Unknowingly he jumped into Ars' arms.
"By the way, Sebas, do you know the location of Sodom City?"
Pushing Marie in his arms for joy, Ars turned to Sebastian and asked.
"I know, Mr Ars wants to go there? From the news I heard, Sodom City is a place where same-sex people gather, it's not a good place."
Sebastian says what is known and suggests not to go.
"I know, the reason I went there was not to take a vacation, but to destroy the city of Sodom."
A dangerous glint flashed in Ars's eyes.
Although only a glance, Marie and Sebastian felt how scary Ars anger.
"Sodom City is 1000 kilometers from Mathias City, please use this map."
Sebastian took the map from behind his suit, and gave it to Ars.
Opening the map, Ars sees the path to the city of Sodom.
"En, then I'll go first."
Holding the map, Ars said goodbye, and his figure disappeared as fast as the sky.
"Uncle Ars looks very angry."
Marie wondered what the people in Sodom City were doing that made Ars angry.
"I don't know, young lady wants to investigate?" Ask Sebastian.
"No need, send someone to report the destruction of Sodom City, I want to know how it was destroyed by Uncle Ars."
Marie walks into the house, she does not doubt whether Ars can destroy a city or not, she is just curious about his methods.
"Understanding, I'll do it." Sebastian answered.
