After I finished summoning the Storage Ring, I felt myself quite exhausted from consuming quite a lot of energy.

Even so, it seems that the side effect of making a summoning using Cross Overtake Summoning is not as severe as Infinite Parallel Overwrite Summoning. At least, I didn't feel like I was going to pass out.

"Rey-sama, are you okay?"

Sakuya-san walked over to me and asked me somewhat worriedly.

"Yeah.... Just a little tired."

I nodded slightly and answered her.

Sakuya-san then helped support me to stay on my feet.

Then, Scathach-sama, Governor Azazel, and Mephisto-sama also came over to me.

"So, what did you manage to summon? We saw what it looked like was a ring. Can you tell us what it is?"

Governor Azazel asked and Mephisto-sama also looked curious.

Meanwhile, Scathach-sama seemed silent and neither really interested nor concerned.

Then, I showed the ring in my hand and explained according to the information that had previously entered my mind.

"This ring is called a Storage Ring. This ring can be used to store items in its expanded space. I don't really understand how it can be. The capacity is 25x25x25 meters. To put items into this Storage Ring space, user just need to get this Storage Ring closer to the items that the user want to store. Meanwhile, to took out items from the Storage Ring, user only need to think and imagine what items they want to took out. To find out the contents or remaining capacity, user only have to think and imagine looking into the space in the Storage Ring. The conditions of items that is stored in this ring will not change. That means, if for example I keep a fresh apple in this ring, it will still be fresh even though I only took it out a year later."

"May I see it?"

"Please...."

Then I handed the Storage Ring to Governor Azazel.

After receiving the ring, Governor Azazel seemed to observe and try to look inside the Storage Ring.

"Heh~.... So, this ring was created by manipulating the space-time concept. Very interesting...."

It seemed that Governor Azazel pretty impressed and immediately understood this Storage Ring. Well, I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise for someone who is fond of researching unusual devices.

After satisfied observing the Storage Ring, Governor Azazel handed it over to Mephisto-sama who was also curious. And after Mephisto-sama finished, he handed the Storage Ring back to me.

After the Storage Ring returned to me, I looked at Sakuya-san and said to her.

"Sakuya-san, this ring is yours to hold. I leave the handling of our needs to you."

I then handed the Storage Ring to her.

"I understand.... I will use this ring as best I can."

I nodded lightly at the words of Sakuya-san who is very much like a loyal and reliable maid.

After I rested to recover my strength, we had dinner.

Since there was Sakuya-san, even if it was only temporarily and for a few days, she was the one who handled cooking. Previously, whenever it was time to eat, Governor Azazel was the one who cook. He said that because he had lived for a long time and he had quite a bit of free time apart from his research, he had learned quite a bit about cooking. Actually..., Scathach-sama can cook too, but Governor Azazel and I obviously didn't dare ask her to cook for us. We were afraid that instead we would be stabbed by her red spear.

"Mephisto-sama, I have a favour...."

"Hm? Favour? What favour?"

Mephisto-sama looked a little confused as I suddenly requested him for a favour.

Then, I firmly stated my request.

"I want to have a Peerage."

Hearing my request, Mephisto-sama looked a little surprised.

"Peerage? Why do you want it all of a sudden?"

Mephisto-sama seemed to frown a little.

Previously, Mephisto-sama once told me that among devils today there is a chess piece-like system called [Peerage].

A [King] usually uses his/her Evil Pieces to recruit loyal servants/subordinates. The servants who are recruited and given Evil Pieces can be from the Devil race or other races as long as they are not a God-level being. However, if a candidate from a race other than Devil is given Evil Pieces, that candidate will automatically be reincarnated as a devil. Even so, reincarnated devils still possess the power/abilities of their former race.

Other races can be reincarnated as a devil is because the Peerage/Evil Pieces system was originally promoted to help repopulate Devil race population that reduced because of large number of devils who died in the great war of the past.

Apart from increasing the number of devils, this Peerage system is also a symbol of status and authority. That's because only a high-class devil that authorized to form a Peerage. And with the existing competition between Peerages called the 'Rating Game', the stronger a Peerage the higher their status and honor in the eyes of many people.

"I want to have a new family of my own. And I want my Peerage as the foundation."

I said my reason why I want to have a Peerage.

"Hmm...."

After listening to my request, Mephisto-sama seemed to be thinking.

"Are you sure about this? If you make a request for high-class devil status and become a [King], your existence will be known by the devil circle, you know? And if they find out about you, it is possible that they will think of you as a threat instead. Are you really sure about this?"

Mephisto-sama seems a little worried and I quite understand what he is worried about.

Since I am Mother's son and her only legacy, Mephisto-sama thinks of me as his own grandson. Besides, because of my status as a descendant of the Rofocale Family, it is feared that I will become a new seed that the Old-Satan faction can recruit. Moreover, because I have a power that threatens the balance, it is worrying that the people who want to exploit me will target me.

Even so, I nodded firmly and answered him.

"Yes. I'm not worried and it's not a problem. I'm sure that I, we, can take care of ourself."

I'm not too worried because I'm not alone.

I have Scathach-sama who is a Goddess and Godslayer. Also Sakuya-san who has the power to manipulate time.

Apart from that, I also continued to grow and became stronger. I'm sure that once my training is complete, I will be strong enough to take care of myself without relying on Scathach-sama's protection.

"Hmm...."

Mephisto-sama seemed to frown and was deep in thought.

After a while, Mephisto-sama sighed.

"Hah~.... Alright. I'll try to ask them."

"Thank you, Mephisto-sama!"

Hearing Mephisto-sama's answer, I thanked him and he nodded slightly.

"Hm. If your request is accepted, you can take the test to become a high-class devil after your training is finished two years later."

"Yes!"
