Reincarnated Devil’s Strongest Hero Training Plan ~The baby he picked up has grown up so well that his father is confused~

Volume 2 Chapter 18   Little angel slides into the party

With a casual “I think it’ll work~,” Mermel pushed it into the crater, and after desperately keeping it warm, the egg finally hatched at the right time.

Its official name is the Fire Attribute Divine Beast Phoenix Mark II, or rather, the Super Phoenix Ultimate.

The Super Phoenix Ultimate, abbreviated as Divine Beast Shoebill, wears cool sunglasses given by its parent on its back and flies around the world.

When he sees humans being attacked by monsters, he repels them with a “glare,” and when he finds injured humans, his parent Mermel performs the convenient miracle “FHHOOOOO!”

The duo is invincibly strong, the mightiest. They are a terrifyingly lucky duo who can turn any misfortune into fortune.

For a while, the little angel and the newly born divine beast traveled the world, going here and there. Then, suddenly, the little angel Mermel wiped her forehead with her hand as if to say she had completed a task and said something outrageous.

“Hmm, yes. Now that it’s clear we’re almost invincible together, I think it’s time to move on to the next step.”

“Quaa?”

What is the next step?

What awaits them beyond that step?

Despite these questions, the Divine Beast Shoebill, acknowledging his parent’s miraculous abilities, naturally listened to Mermel’s words.

“Right now, I think we can face that terrifyingly dangerous guy and make him eat his words. And then, after we’ve scared him and made him admit defeat, we’ll get candy from him as a condition of his surrender.”

The Divine Beast Shoebill didn’t quite know who this dangerous guy was, but he thought that if his elite angel parent and master was facing such a formidable foe, it must be something important for the world.

Mermel’s face was serious and determined. Although she mentioned previous accidents like peeing out of fear or wondering what kind of victory candy to choose, her determination to win was reassuring.

“Our goal is the town of the, um… the something Viscount in the southern continent! I think that guy is there~”

“QUAAAAAAA!”

Then, the sooner the better.

Determined to teach this “terrifyingly dangerous” foe a lesson with this angel of fortune, he spread his jet-black wings and headed in the direction Mermel pointed.

Where will the journey of these two, who continue their great exploits, lead them…?

Only the mini Kakyu, or rather the lower-class demon eavesdropping on this strange conversation, knows.

◇

“…So, do you have anything to say? Chibisuke.”

“Dad, what’s this?”

“This is the result of an angel who got carried away with her power and a divine beast who went along without knowing anything.”

“Hmm.”

In a corner of the town governed by Viscount Rador, at the usually peaceful Kakyu residence.

Once again, Abel, Granbelt, and Fradalia’s were invited for an adventure, and Ekina stepped out into the garden. What greeted her was a strange duo: a little winged one groveling on the ground and a black bird passed out with eyes spinning.

These two had suddenly barged into the Kakyu residence and challenged a lower-class demon to a duel, only to be knocked out in an instant—an unfortunate, strange duo.

It wasn’t even a proper fight.

They had challenged the lower-class demon, who was watering the scallops in the garden, but even after taking off their sunglasses and using the “glare” move or Mermel’s special attack “BOOOOOO!”, it had no effect.

Mermel thought, “It used to work a bit before,” but that was ten years ago. From Kakyu’s perspective, it was unthinkable to leave such a weakness unchecked, so he had long since developed anti-chibi magic to overcome it.

Moreover, as the number two demon in the underworld, who had fought against the demon king and other high-ranking demons with overwhelming strength, there was no way he would be rendered immobile by the divine beast’s “glare.” In the underworld, being scared meant you wouldn’t survive.

Having acquired various resistances, the lower-class demon took no damage. Realizing their defeat, Mermel quickly changed her attitude.

To minimize the damage from the defeat, she knocked out the divine beast with her special move “BOOOOOO!” and immediately performed a sliding dogeza, with her hands outstretched and her head bowed.

This quick assessment of the situation was impressive, to say the least. The lower-class demon, seeing the chibi angel’s immediate surrender, couldn’t help but be taken aback and look at her in disbelief.

“Ah, ahhh, I swear, I didn’t mean any harm! I just wanted to test my strength a bit! Really! Ahhhh…”

“Sigh… Alright, alright. Chibisuke, you wanted to defeat me and get some sweets, right? Hm? Isn’t that right? Huh?”

Thinking, “How did he know?” and realizing that this terrifying man should never be made an enemy, the little angel’s strength drained away, and she became tearful. Afterwards, the confused little angel was tossed to Ekina, who had stumbled upon this surreal scene.

“If you want sweets that badly, then work for them, Chibisuke. If you accompany my daughter on her adventures for a while, I’ll reward you with as many sweets as you can eat.”

Perk.

Perk perk.

Reacting to the words “as many sweets as you can eat” as a reward, Mermel, nestled in Ekina’s arms, began to drool and her eyes sparkled with anticipation. Even Mermel knew that, despite the terrifying power of this man, her elite intuition told her that he was not someone who would break a promise once made.

This was an offer she couldn’t refuse.

“Alright. Leave it to me. With our support, any adventure will result in an invincible and unbeatable success, I assure you.”

Perhaps because the reward she wanted was guaranteed, Mermel quickly switched from tearful defeat to a confident attitude. She put on the divine beast’s sunglasses and confidently reassured everyone to leave it to her.

“Ekina, are you okay with this?”

“Eh? We’re taking this dumb-looking one along?”

“Yes, she does look dumb… but this Chibisuke can be quite useful.”

“Well, okay then. Dad’s predictions have never been wrong anyway.”

And so, a few minutes after the commotion caused by Mermel’s challenge, a new member joined Ekina’s adventure party, opening a new chapter in the story.
