The other one looked like a 5-year-old boy dressed in a little tailored black and purple suit. He also had the same purple eyes as the woman.

Once the summoning was completed, the lights faded away, and the little boy eagerly jumped up and held his arms in the air, "Behold mortals!

I am the super awesome Sairog Bael! And I am here to grant your—uhm—" he turned to the older brown-haired woman behind him, "what was that last part, mom?" He questioned her.

The older woman just let out a sigh of exasperation. "We've been over this before, sweetie. It's 'I am here to grant your request…' remember?"

The little devil boy just nodded, "Oh right, that was it," and he turned back to his summoners who were all just staring at him in slight confusion, and in Hermione's case, disappointment.

She expected devils to look… not so normal. Also, why did they get a little kid?

Jake himself was also wondering why they summoned a kid devil. He turned to Luna to ask her, but she just gave him that knowing smile, and he chose not to say anything.

The beautiful older woman addressed the group of summoners, "I would like to thank you all for summoning my son and possibly being his first official contractors," she gave them a smile as she bowed to them in gratitude.

Jake just scratched his cheek, "Umm… you're welcome, I guess?"

Luna stepped forward and held out her hand for the little boy to shake, "Hi there, my name is Luna, and it's nice to meet you. I'm actually the one who wants to form a contract right now if that's okay," she said, and the boy eagerly nodded his head.

He was ecstatic to get his first official contract as a devil. "Hi Luna, my name is Sairog Bael, and I'm 5 years old!" he said happily.

Hermione, who was listening in and was even going so far as to ponder if devils age slower than humans, just facepalmed when she heard that he actually was 5 years old. She also wondered about what kinds of requests devils were capable of fulfilling.

Harry, meanwhile, was feeling a bit left out and decided to just go and talk to the mother devil off to the side. "S-so you're really a devil, huh?" He asked with a small initial stutter. She was absolutely gorgeous after all.

She just nodded a yes back to him, "Indeed I am." Harry noticed that she had an incredibly pleasant-sounding voice too. "Once again, thank you for summoning my son.

Things lately have been… strained at home, and him getting his first official summons and contract will definitely cheer him up for a while. It's nice to meet you, by the way, my name is Misla Bael.

" Harry, ignorant of devils being even a thing until about 2 minutes ago, just nodded his head along like he understood the terms she was saying. Both of them turned their heads back to Luna and Sairog to listen in as to what kind of request Luna had for the boy.

"Okay, Sairog," Luna spoke in a normal voice for once, "this is super important, so I need you to listen carefully." Sairog was shaking his head up and down eagerly.

This was a super important moment for him; he was absolutely listening! "My request is this," she continued and she pointed over at Jake, "when you're older and big and strong, I'm going to need you to lend a helping hand to my friend over there."

"Wait, what!?" Jake exclaimed as he listened in. He looked down at the little boy who almost could have had stars in his eyes for how excited he was that Luna apparently believed that he would be super strong in the future.

"Excuse me, miss," the boy's mother cut in from the side, "are you sure you want to make that request to my son? It's just that the thing about my son is…" she didn't want to say the rest verbally out loud.

She and her son had been recently kicked out of the main house of the Bael Clan because it was found out that young Sairog didn't possess the power of Destruction.

Misla wondered if this girl would end up being disappointed when she found out her son didn't have the power.

Luna just shook her head at Misla, "No, I'm absolutely sure Sairog is the one I want to fulfill this request. And to show my sincerity, I'm going to pay with this." Luna held up a small vial that seemed to be filled with some kind of clear liquid.

"This is an entire vial filled with real phoenix tears. It took me two weeks of getting Blaze over there to cry for me a bit every day to fill it up," Luna said calmly.

"The process involved a lot of bribery with bacon strips and feather scratches," she spoke that last bit quietly while looking over at Blaze in Jake's arms.

*Chirp!* The small bird chirped happily as it reminisced about all the delicious bacon and scratches it got just for a few measly tears. It was an absolutely fantastic bargain in Blaze's opinion!

Misla, meanwhile, was shocked to not only see a real phoenix but to also see a vial full of its tears! One should know that the Phenix Devil Clan sold a single one of their tears for around a million US dollars each, something that was extremely hard to afford for most devils.

And those tears were generally considered to be far less valuable than genuine real phoenix tears! The vial in Luna's hand may be worth over a billion dollars…

"Okay, I accept your request," Sairog said eagerly.

Suddenly, the summoning circle that the two devils had arrived in started to glow all on its own…

Suddenly, the summoning circle that the two devils had arrived in started to glow all on its own!

It started to glow brighter and brighter, and Misla looked on, concerned. There wasn't supposed to be anyone in their house besides them, so who could possibly be using their summoning circle to backtrace their teleportation and follow them?

She felt like something wasn't right, which was confirmed once Luna spoke up.
