Returning to the Devil World

Nex day late afternoon, after spending time with Samsara who wanted to know everything about him. It took him a while to satisfy this loli who knew more of him than he realized, however, she was enjoying his company much more than expected.

After saying his farewells, Masaru was finally on his way home but his mind was still thinking about the reason she made such a decision so decisively. From the story of Samsara, he could only imagine how lonely she felt, although she met with the undead and souls. Their lifespan was, in the end, finite yet that little girl kept smiling happily despite the hardship.

"Boss, We will soon be reaching the alleyway" Zhou Hai reported snapping Masaru out of his stupor,

Masaru nodded with a smile, "Good Work, you will be coming with me" saying before he prepared for transmission.

The moment Zhou Hai turned the car to drive into the alleyway the two of them got out of the car before teleporting away, Zhou Hai the Cab Driver and Field Agent, became secretary to Ulrika and in the future, he became Zhou Hai the Assassin Operation Leader for Hiei. But that is a story for another time.

Meanwhile, Thor who had just arrived back in Asgard was facing his father to tell his reports. If he could, he would have preferred to stay behind in China when he realized how easy it was to get people to fight him. Taunting cultivators into a fight became a daily routine for Thor who visited varies sects, he learnt a great deal from them as well so it was fruitful in overall.

"Morning Father" Thor muttered as he had a complicated look at his father who was dressed as a King should, however, he knew his father's personality,

"Morning Thor, how was your trip to China? You did not Botch up the business trade deals? Did you find out who helped Loki? No forget all of that, how were the women in China!?" Odin asked with a lecherous smile,

Thor felt his head was going to split from all the questions, he very much prefers to go out in combat and face some enemies in life and death battles. 'Just who destined this old man to become my old man...' Thor thought fleetingly.

"First of all I did not botch up anything! I managed to secure a few business trades alongside Masaru, and as for Loki we confirmed that a group of Magicians part of Khaos Brigade were involved in this." Thor said,

He continued to explain how he met up with Masaru who picked him up in a Bar, this made Odin smile wryly as he had forgotten his son had the flaw of being directionally challenged.

'So it was Khaos Brigade, however, the existence of Euclid will definitely create a hassle for Sirzech. Perhaps I should send some envoys to support him on my behalf? At least Masaru was with this meathead or there would have been more problems' Odin thought, he could not find it in himself to hate the man who housed Loki but instead, he held respect for the man who cared about his people.

"Also, it appears Masaru has officially stepped into the real of God. However, he skipped a few steps and ended up as a Mid Class God. He has the ability to dish out a high-class god power strike with his Balance Breaker" Thor added.

This shocked Odin as he did not expect to hear this so soon, "Well, for him to skip the steps would be expected since his title as Wonderchild was infectious. Everyone feels that it naturally fits him, and even tease him on a daily basis so it became "common sense" for them to do so" Odin said with a wry smile,

Thor explained that Masaru unlocked a second form which has the ability to manipulate plants and trees.

"You don't say... We should have him visit Asgard and help us heal Yggdrassil as it is getting a bit old. Since it was rumoured that Azure Dragon God's power should be able to heal it" Odin muttered although his true objective was to ask Masaru if it was possible to replicate Yggdrassil so they could mass-produce the leaves, it may sound far-fetched but it was worth the shot to see if it was possible.

Thor nodded as he said something beyond ridiculous "Then he can fight me"

Hearing this Odin almost slipped off his throne, feeling a cold sweat run down his back as he shook his head "You will not fight! How many times have you destroyed the surroundings!? Not the mention you destroyed the Female Changing room causing me to get ca*Cough* causing the women to get exposed!"

Thor hung his head down feeling wronged, he knew his father was peeping on the girls but because Odin was the King of Gods, the Valkyrie did not want to reprimand their employer and chose to beat up Thor instead.

'If only we can get Masaru to bring his businesses here to give work for the Valkyries will it work, that way those troublesome women will no longer support my father for his lecherous ways' Thor thought while Odin had thoughts of his own,

'Perhaps I can have Brynhildr, my daughter to marry Masaru as well, this should tie Asgard and Masaru' Odin thought with a warm smile, he will naturally force it. He will only guide them to meet, and if Fate wills it. Maybe it will happen.

'I can just have some of the other Valkyries take over her position as Vidar's assistant since that brat still have no intentions to look for a wife' Odin thought as he sighed but a smile form on his face,

"Hohoho, make sure to send an invitation to Masaru" Odin said to Thor who nodded before he left, watching his son leave the hall Odin's cheerful face became stern.

"Qlippoth... This Khaos Brigade just keep causing troubles!" Odin said with a snort, his eyes gazing to the horizons.

>\/<

"I have returned" Uriel called out as he entered Michael's Manor in heaven, in front of him was Michael wearing the exact same robe like he always do, but a bit further away was a beautiful curvaceous girl who is the cause for many system warnings to go off on men who ogled her bountiful breasts. She was playing with her curly blonde hair as she glances with a big smile seeing Uriel's return

"Brother Uriel" She stood up running towards Uriel hugging him.

"OEF! Hehe, nice to see you are still doing well my little sister Gabriel" Uriel gently caresses Gabriel's hair making her feel relaxed while he turns to look at Michael,

"The talks have been concluded, we can restart our expansion in churches. The conditions were Co-existence and no forcing belief" Uriel explained,

Michael sighed with relief as he could understand the first condition but the second they would never do, although the angels would not but that did not include their human believers. 'I will have to make some plans to send someone I can trust to manage the churches in China for me' Michael thought

Gabriel skipped as she went to make tea for Uriel and Michael who sat at the table to continue their talks, Uriel made sure Gabriel was no near since this information he was about to share was too sensitive for a girl like her.

"It appears a subdivision of Khaos Brigade had been causing disturbances in China called Qlippoth, we have no information about the Leader behind them. But we managed to find the identity of the man leading the Magician Rebels" Uriel spoke, after making sure Michael will not tell anyone he revealed the identity of Euclid Lucifige.

Hearing that name Michael could understand why Masaru made everyone keep their words not to tell a soul, he did not ask Uriel as he knew that Angels can't lie so instead he asked to keep quiet about it instead.

"This will indeed cause trouble in the Underworld for Sirzech especially" Michael muttered as he felt troubled 'I will have to send some angels to represent me to aid Sirzech, I fear those council men will be making movements once they know of this'

"Masaru's new Balance Breaker can manipulate Plants and Trees, want him to give it a try on the two trees that had not produced apples in a long time?" Uriel suggested,

"WHA!? He has power over plants now?" Michael asked out of surprise to which Uriel nodded,

"It's called Azure Dragon Emperor, as you know Azure Dragon God is the God of East and representative of Nature (Plant & Trees)" Uriel answered to which Michael clenched his hand to contain his excitement,

'Reviving the two trees will at least fix some of my worries, with that out of the way I can finally start researching the System left by father, I can compare notes with Azazel. Maybe we can get it to work just like how it was when father was around.' Michael thought before asking, "Do you think it is time we have Masaru visit heaven?"

Uriel nodded at Michael's suggestion, the two of them began to plan a trip as an excuse to invite Masaru over since they could not openly share their intentions to others even if they are allies it did not mean everyone within each faction allied to the peace alliance.

Masaru and Zhou Hai arrived near the Sitri Manor, Masaru entered the Manor with Zhou Hai following after him.

"Oh my, I would never expect my son-in-law to visit me" Sonia, Sona's mother spoke with Masaru who arrived in front of the Manor.

"Morning Mother-in-law, I hope you can forgive me for my uncalled visit. But I hope I could see Sona?" Masaru spoke politely as he realized that the Sitri Family had visitors from another Family, probably here to discuss business.

"Yes, you can come anytime you want" Sonia spoke as she embraces Masaru to welcome him before leading him up the stairs to Sona's room, Zhou Hai stood at the hallway waiting as he knew Masaru would not be staying long.

Sonia knocked on Sona's room, soon they could hear some groaning as Sonia nodded towards Masaru before leaving. When Masaru entered the room he was shocked to see Sona was sleeping in a negligee, when he came near her he was suddenly pulled onto the bed as Sona's wraps herself around him like a Koala.

"Good Afternoon Gorgeous" Masaru kisses Sona's cheek lightly,

"Afternoon?... Hubby" Sona spoke half awake, slowly her eyes open and when she saw Masaru's face she closed them and opened them again to make sure what she was seeing was real.

"Masaru!" Sona clung tighter, Masaru chuckled as he was sure he had Baraqiel explain his situation to the girls but it appears they will always miss him as he misses them.

"You finally finish with your tasks in China?" Sona asked,

Hearing Sona's question Masaru nodded, "From here on the staff of Hiei will now be dealing with them in my stead, I will have some time with you girls instead" Masaru answered as he gently kisses her forehead before continuing,

"I am here to check if you want to come with me to visit Sairaorg" Masaru asked,

Sona nodded as she climbed out of bed to change her clothes, she did not bother hiding her figure from Masaru as she was exclusively his. It was a shame that they had many things to do today or Masaru would not mind having a quick lunch before heading out.

With Sona dressed, Masaru took her hand as the two of them met up with Zhou Hai.

"Make sure to come home for dinner" Sonia called out to Masaru who nodded,

"I will come here after my visit" Masaru answered as the three of them left the Sitri Manor, using the Sitri Family's carriage they travelled to the hospital.

According to Sona, the battle between Sairaorg and Issei had escalated to the point they injure each other quite heavily,

"He managed to hurt that Monster friend of mine?" Masaru asked with a surprised face

Sona nodded, "Regulus was about to strike down Rias to win the game but Issei leapt in front of the attack which almost sliced him in half"

Sona began to explain the ending of the Rating game, heavily injured in Rias's arms. Issei was unconscious for a while, the people considered it a children's Miracle as Rias's Oppai beam flashed at the very same moment Issei equipped a new armour which was called Cardinal Crimson by Sairaorg who admired it.

Although he was injured Issei managed to fight head to head against Sairaorg who equipped Regulus, "He confessed to Rias in the middle of the fight, but the fight ended in a draw between Sairaorg and Issei unconscious but Rias team won in the end"

Masaru nodded as he found some respect for Issei who was willing to give up his life to protect those close to him, he may be the weakest Sekiryuutei in history but he is surely the bravest of them all.

"How is the response towards Issei's confession?" Masaru asked with a teasing smile as he felt the need to tease his childhood friend,

"She fell for him, although... I am not sure what she is waiting for." Sona spoke averting her eyes from Masaru's smile that is simply too dazzling for her heart.

"Well, at least he is better than Friend Chicken. We can collaborate with Gremory Family to sell his merchandise as tourist attraction Souvenirs. Although only for supernaturals, such products should be handled with care in the human world after all" Masaru spoke, but he would have never imagined that there was dolls and toys sold of him acting at the Demon King in Magical Girl Levi-tan's show as well.

Sona who knew of this blushed a bit 'Big sis, I never expected that you never told him...' Sona thought, she was quite shocked at how mischievous her own sister was towards Masaru.

When the three of them arrived at the Hospital Zhou Hai met up with his contact person and as Masaru promised he was immediately promoted to Ulrika's secretary, Masaru and Sona signed their names on the register with the Nurse who was manning the reception before they were led into the room where Sairaorg and Issei were talking to one another. Knock knock!

"Oh! Masaru you really have the worst timing as ever to arrive" Sairaorg smirked towards Masaru and Sona who took their seats between the beds,

"Well, I can only apologize and say I will watch the Rating Game from start to finish tonight" Masaru fist bump with Sairaorg,

"Good Job is reaching this Monster's fist Issei, you finally realized your path huh?" Masaru complimented Issei who shook his head feeling quite embarrassed

"No no no I was just lucky! Sairaorg is really powerful, I still have a long way to go. Sensei is much more amazing" Issei said with a broad smile, he could not help but feel proud that Masaru complimented him for his achievement.

Sairaorg laughed at how clumsy Issei was "No need to feel reserved Issei, take the compliment of Masaru who stands at the top. He rarely compliments people, those whom he complimented sincerely can be counted on my hand"

Masaru gave Sairaorg the stinky eye thinking his friend was betraying him, Sairaorg simply laughed happily seeing how his friend would continue to treat him like a real friend. No Status, no ranks. Just friends. nothing more, nothing less.

"I will buy everyone something to drink" Sona spoke as she lightly kissed Masaru's cheek before leaving.

Issei felt a bit jealous at this interaction between Masaru and his girls, he summoned up his courage as he asked Masaru "How do you do it? Having a Harem like that?"

Masaru smiled at Issei's question as he could more or less guess why Issei was asking this, he was seeking an answer for himself. "What about you? I heard you confessed to Rias?"

Hearing Masaru's question Issei froze with a beet-red face causing Sairaorg to enjoy this conversation, even if he loved training he was a boy after all. All guys love to chat about girls, just like girls love to chat about boys. It was the same as usual.

"Issei, are you scared of girls?" Masaru asked a question which pierced Issei's heart, although Sara, Xenovia and Asia helped him that night. He was still feeling scared to take that one step forward, Masaru could guess that the trauma in his heart was quite significant.

"Issei are you scared to give up your life to protect them?" Masaru asked him with a stoic face, this made Issei realize that it was a serious question.

This time Issei shook his head vigorously, "I am not!"

"Then you can confess to them, remember Issei... Not every girl is like Raynare, you are insulting them by comparing them with her" Masaru spoke with a stern voice.

Hearing this the knot in Issei's heart became slightly loose as he began to think about his tough time getting along with Sara which he managed to accomplish after Loki's attacks. How loving Asia was towards him and how Xenovia found a strong interest in his strong persistence to never give up.

Finally, he saw it, Crimson. More magnificent than strawberry blonde, the colour of his blood. When he saw Regulus was about to slash down his paw at Rias, he did not think about the past, present nor the future. 'Yes... They can't be compared with Raynare' Issei thought as he nodded,

"But, if you fail you can have a drink with me and Sairaorg. Our men group is really too small" Masaru spoke causing Issei and Sairaorg to laugh,

"I can have confidence?" Issei asked,

"If you don't have confidence then what have you been risking your life for?" Masaru asked him back which gave the answer for Issei who nodded with a determined face,

"Why did you not use Breakdown the beast?" Masaru asked Sairaorg as he knew this friend of his used Balance Breaker only,

"Oh! Now that you mention it I did indeed not use it... I forgot!" Masaru was floored when he heard that. 'This meathead... He really is something, forgetting something important like this while in the middle of a fight... That is so like him'

Sona just arrived in the room noticing that Issei was no longer gloomy but the regular energized one, she knew Masaru must have done something as he did care about his friends after all.

'Good for you Rias, but as expected of my beloved husband. He really is the right choice for me' Sona thought as she could giggle thinking how her best friend seems to never be able to repay the things Masaru did, although the man himself would not bother with it. For him, his current life is simply too magical already and it was the best.
