"But man, Masaru how come you get to travel to another country! I'm so jealous, bet you had some good fights there" Sairaorg complained,
Masaru only laughed it off as he knew this friend of his was planning to make use of this excuse to get Masaru to give him a good fight later. "Trust me, it was so full of politics I could not even make careless moves there. Although I do admit it has been incredibly dangerous back there, how is your date with your queen going?"
Masaru took a sip of the drink Sona brought for them, Sona who heard this smiled warmly seeing how her fiance feeling relaxed taking her seat next to him. Sairaorg who heard this froze for a moment, Issei glances at Sairaorg with interest as a man he understood what this question meant.
Sairaorg coughed his cheeks faintly red from embarrassment, "It is going well, although this brat here had the intentions to kill her though"
Masaru had a shocked face looking at Issei, Issei blushed beet red shaking his hands "I will just too emotional seeing my friends get hurt..."
Sairaorg laughed as if he never really cared about it since he will never let any of his peerage members die after all.
"Jeez, Issei it is good to love your comrades. However, during a Rating Game you need to be aware of rules. Such reckless actions could deduct points" Masaru said, smiling wryly as he could understand what Issei meant and experienced during those moments, even he himself was not certain how exactly he would act if any of the girls were in danger.
But he will sure as hell rain hell upon anyone who dares to hurt them outside the Rating Game, unlike Issei, Masaru knew the safety measures made for the Rating Games since he aided Ajuka perfecting the safety measures with the help of his grimoire, but he still takes it as a real battle to train himself and the girls.
"Bet you two really enjoyed beating each other up huh?" Masaru chuckled as he could already imagine how these two meatheads would end up in an intense brawl.
While the three of them continued to chat, soon Rias arrived to visit Issei as well.
"Well look who it is, to think the star of the Rating Game appeared. I barely arrived and i heard the amazing Confession" Masaru said with a teasing smile as he stood up, greeting Rias who had a pouting face towards him.
"You finally came back although you missed our match" Rias complained a bit but she still had a smile of relief, seeing her childhood friend coming back safely was good enough for her.
"Well as a friend I can only apologize and give you this" Masaru takes out a souvenir he bought, when Rias opened the gift it was a Qipao.
"Akeno chose it for you" Masaru answered as he took his seat next to Sona, the reason he chose to use Akeno as a cover since this Qipao was a special edition. Even all his girls had one, and it was something all men would love to see. Hench, this gift was actually indirectly for Issei as congratulations for facing Sairaorg without losing faith in his strength.
Rias smiled "Thank you for the gift"
She went over to take her seat next to Issei, her eyes kept moving towards his chest where the injury he took in her place once was. Masaru closed his eyes leaning on Sona's shoulder not wanting to disturb their peace, but Sona was tactical and knew that Masaru wanted to leave. She glances at her wristwatch.
"Masaru, we will have to leave shortly. Don't forget dinner with my parents?" Hearing Sona's suggestion Masaru nodded as he stood up walking next to Sairaorg.
"Recover soon brother, so I can kick your ass for fighting so halfassed as punishment" Masaru bump his fist against Sairaorg who grinned
"Once I recover, I will catch up and I will be coming for you," Sairaorg said with a big smile,
Sairaorg watches how Masaru turned and left together with Sona as he thought 'Now what am I suppose to do with these two love birds' He thought before closing his eyes to pretend to sleep, it was only when Sairaorg slept did Issei and Rias have a heart to heart talk which started their journey ahead.
>\/<
"Feeling better now that your back?" Sona asks as she gently caresses Masaru's head who was laying on her lap,
"I feel tired, and relaxed. It has been a hectic time back then" Masaru answered the question while enjoying her care she was showering him with.
"Well you will have to wake up soon" Sona whispered with a faint smile as she looks out of the window,
She added "We will soon be at my parents home"
After a while the carriage stopped in front of the Manor, Masaru climbed out of the carriage together with Sona holding her hand while the two of them entered the manor.
"Young Master Masaru and Young lady Sona, please this way" The butler guided the two of them into the dining room where Oraman Sitri and Sonia Sitri were both sitting waiting for them to take their seats, Masaru pulled the chair allowing Sona to take her seat as he took his seat next to her near the parents.
"I'm glad you could make it" Oraman looks at Sona and Masaru with warm eyes,
"Thank you for inviting me for dinner father-in-law" Masaru responded,
Sonia smiled happily chatting with Sona, while the servants began to bring in the dishes,
"So how was your trip to China?" Oraman asked Masaru,
"It was good..." Masaru responded, so he began to tell how his journey was.
The family happily chatted about Sona, especially how the school system she had been running made things easier for children who had no hopes in the past, now the children could finally have hope to proceed for their dreams whether it was for Civil, Military, Education or even Rating Game. From this point forward, education within the Belial Territory was undergoing a transformation.
Masaru held Sona's hand as he felt proud of her for what she accomplished on her own. The father and mother were quite pleased to see how special Masaru care was for Sona so they felt relieved as any parents would care more about their child than anything else since they have already learnt their mistake with Sona's past engagement with an heir of a family household.
"Ma-kun!!!!!!" Suddenly a familiar followed by hurried footsteps came running through the hallway opening the doors with force,
"Sera?" Oraman looked at his daughter who was already willful and whimsical but this behaviour was by far something he never saw, Serafall did not care about her father as she picked Masaru up shaking him
"What have you done with the Chinese Mythology?" She felt anxious, when she went to visit as the person in charge of Foreign affairs she would never have imagined that they would say
"Speak with Kouryuu Masaru, we will accept whatever he decides for us" as if they were leaving the choices up to Masaru.
Masaru gently pats Serafall's head which strangely made her calm down as she places his down looking at him with pitiful eyes before breaking out crying,
'Just what the hell happened?' Masaru thought as he held Serafall gently patting her back,
"So what exactly happened?" Masaru asked,
"I thought I saw a group of brainwashed people who reply with the exact same answer, it was scary I almost thought you caused them to become mental freaks!" Serafall said, despite exaggerating it appears the fact all of them had full faith in Masaru scared her.
Masaru pulled his head back in surprise 'The hell!? Just how does her imagination works', gently rubbing her back it appears Serafall had other intentions undiscovered by anyone. Her smile grew broader.
Masaru allowed Serafall to sit next to Sona who continued to soothe her sister, apparently, Serafall had been stressed out from working and the reports she been dealing with which included China.
Masaru could only smile wryly as he left her in capable hands, Serafall pouted as she felt Masaru was leaving her to the side to eat his dinner.
After Dinner Masaru was sleeping alone in the guest room as Sona and Serafall were taking, what it was about was something Masaru would never ever imagine.
>\/<
The very next morning,
"Welcome to the Magical Girl Levi-tan!" Serafall appears on the stage wearing her Magical girl outfit and swirling her staff, the men who enjoyed the show were all screaming out in excitement taking photos in a fever.
"And the Magic- Magical Girl So-Tan!" Sona came out timidly swirling her staff while making a cute pose.
"BUFOOO!!!" Streams of blood spurted out the noses of soldiers who chose to face the ultimate attack of these famous duo sisters sisters.
Seeing the cute act, almost half the men were "killed" by her cute pure act, making the event to become even more heated up.
The cameras were flickering while Serafall and Sona spoke with the spectators, Sona was a bit stiff as the reason she came here today was that her sister and Masaru tricked her into coming for the sake of making her "popular".
"BWahahahaha! Now that the two of them are together I can make them mine!" Masaru leaps onto the stage wearing his black custom-making him appear like a mafia boss with two horns attached to his head.
"No! The Demon King!" Serafall calls out,
"Kyaa! Demon King Masaru looks so hot!"
"Masaru please give me a baby!"
"Damn, the plague arrived"
"The enemy of all men finally come huh?"
"Men you all ready? Make a formation!"
The women spectators were all cheering for Masaru causing the men who were enjoying the sight of two magical girls began to denounce the interrupter, Demon King.
"BOO!!!"
The men began to jeer at Masaru
Masaru glanced at the men who glared at him with jealousy, he shook his head before sprinting towards Serafall and Sona, using Magic to aid their performance, Masaru fought against Sona and Serafall before he retreated after facing a defeat which brought the event to an end.
"Hey hey! Don't go! I still did not shoot out my Magical Girl beam!" Serafall shouted,
'The hell!? Run!' Masaru ran faster feeling a cold sweat run down his spine, he was no sure why but he felt that attack would really be dangerous.
"Bwahaha, He is no match for our Levia-Tan Tan!"
"Haaaah haaaah Masaru's jiggling butt while running is so attractive"
After the event came to an end thanks to the announcer who told everyone to follow the signs to the signature event before the Magical Girl day would come to an end. In a large open space, Masaru was sitting between Sona and Serafall behind tables ready to sign their signatures.
Looking at men who were absolute perverts, all lining up to get their signatures from Serafall and Sona. There was some who asked shameful requests, end up sent flying by Masaru personally at first. After that, no one dared to act shamelessly in front of this Demon King. He really was a Wonder Demon King, alright.
'Sigh...' Masaru began to thinking about last night when he was woken up by Serafall and Sona where Serafall suggested to have Sona join the signing event which Masaru did not know of.
Glancing at Serafall he could remember the pleading face she made to have him come today and to bring Sona, he could not say no to this girl especially the fact he enjoyed watching Sona play a part of the show.
"I will get you for this" Sona whispered to Masaru while she was forcing a smile,
Masaru smirked as he leaned over to her ear "In bed?"
Hearing his question Sona blushed beet red as the two were unaware of someone who was glancing at them, feeling troubled on how to handle the strange feeling within.
After the event, Serafall went to deal with some of the organizers while Masaru and Sona went to take a break in the restroom, it was a small room with a double couch a single wall filled with lockers and a coffee table near the couch.
Masaru took his seat on the couch while Sona went to take out a book she was currently studying from her locker before she sat between Masaru's legs with her back against his chest. Masaru silently held Sona who was still pouting after going through it,
"Still angry?" He whispered at her ears before kissing her neck gently, this act cause Sona to feel an electric surge go down her body feeling Masaru showering her with gently care and love.
She still pouted despite feeling incredibly happy "It still is not enough to make up for what you and my sister did to me"
She places down the book on the table next to the lounge before she turned around straddling him.
"I see" Masaru spoke with a gentle smile, he pointed his hand on the door using his barrier magic to forcibly keep the door from opening while covering the room in a silent barrier.
"I see you remember the usage of barriers, hubby" Sona whispered as she gently kisses Masaru who was holding her waist,
"Well, that is because I was not ashamed of letting the world know you are mine. It is only because right now there are kids nearby" Masaru said without feeling a shred of shame, he really did not care who hear. *Cough* Except for his family, that would be embarrassing if he had to face them afterwards.
Sona giggled as the two of them started to kiss deeply.
>\/<
Going back to school, things were going on as usual with not much change. Halloween had arrived and the Disciplinary Committee team this year agreed to run a Monster Cafe, although they wanted to create the Horror Maze to enter the Cafe again like last year.
However, apparently the horrors of the Disciplinary was simply too professional that many filed complaints to Sona to prevent Masaru from having fun this year with the students since it was his last year in Highschool after all. [Don't let the Demon King unleash his fangs upon us!!!!]
After the morning assembly, the students went out to prepare their events and shops for the school festival. Under Masaru's careful management he divided the girls into teams who will work on the floor and in the kitchen, although he still needed to patrol the school ground regular interval to prevent idiots from causing trouble.
Sakura, Stephani, Ichika, Yui and Angelica were working as waitresses.
Everest was working together with Akeno and Ingvild to handle the cooking and making the drinks, initially they wanted to restart the Maze program but it was instantly rejected as the Horror House of the Disciplinary was too real last year.
Jeanne was on patrol together with Shirone as regular Disciplinary duties, meanwhile, Masaru was walking along a pathway with events all over the school grounds heading straight for the Occult Building.
"Kyaa! It's Hyoudou! Smack him before he impregnates you!"
Hearing this Masaru froze in his step wondering just how crazy this girl's words just sounded like, when he glances into the horror house he noticed Issei was dressed as a Frankenstein that was beaten pitifully. 'That is the karma for being too openly perverted' Masaru thought
After completing his inspection he turned and left, it was when he was about to head back to the Disciplinary Committee he came across Azazel. "Yo Masaru, glad to see your safe and sound"
Masaru came to stand next to Azazel was who watching the kids playing from a distance, "I heard about what happened in Kyoto" Masaru said with a smile,
"Yeah, I would never expect you and Ajuka could pull a stunt as that" Azazel said with a wry smile, he never expected that this Master and Disciple would come up with plans that completely made him look like he did not prepare enough. Not only did their plans allow Issei to complete his power transformation, but the rest of Rias peerage was also able to face dangers without realizing that they were safe the entire time.
Masaru chuckled "It was for safety precaution, we still don't know if there are enemies among ourselves. We can't afford to be careless now that the world peace is progressing, our enemies will do anything to disrupt it"
Masaru turn to look at Azazel who nodded with a stern expression, Azazel glanced at Masaru "Can you tell me why Samsara is so interested in you?"
Masaru chuckled as he answered honestly "Because she became my wife"
Azazel almost slipped from underneath his feet looking at Masaru with a shocked face, "The heck!?"
"She initiated the Kissing Prayer with me, you should understand what it means" Masaru said with a sly smile, he felt quite proud to gain a super-powerful wife. Although he still had to update his girls in that regards, the time was not right yet.
Azazel took a deep breathe, "It works on Gods too?"
Masaru nodded at Azazel's question, "The kissing prayer works the moment when both parties want it to, whether one is of the same species or not, even power realms do not influence it. The only requirement for it to work, is consent from both. Guess at that time, I never had any reserved feelings towards her hench it worked when she kissed me"
Azazel caresses his goatee with a lecherous smile "So you collected her for your harem?"
Masaru chuckled at this man's words, "That I will no comment on it... But dealing with Hades is going to be tough, I suggest we keep an eye on that Old Fogey. At least we know he is an enemy, unlike our other enemies we have no idea of"
Masaru glanced at Azazel with a peculiar gaze "I heard about Vali as well"
"You know but I haven't even told Rias and the rest yet" Azazel sighed as he rubbed his forehead, he was really stressed over this situation but if it works then so many problems would be resolved.
"Right now I am breaking the clauses of the peace treaty and betraying people, it kind of feels horrible to do this but for the greater picture, it's worth it" Azazel said with a wry smile,
Masaru laughed as he grasps Azazel's shoulder "Then add me to this as well when they question you, since I approve of your actions. Having Ophis away from Khaos Brigade will make them restless, it might rattle the cages of the heroes to make them come out"
Masaru turns his gaze towards the school students "Taking the Initiative will make them come out in the open, with that we will have the advantage to deal with them. Instead of waiting in the dark not know when they will come out with something dangerous"
Azazel crosses his arms, "So if everything goes down the drain you intend to go down with me?"
Masaru chuckled, his eyes did not hide his confidence to deal with any situation within the Devil World and the alliance "When have you failed before? Not to mention I will make sure it goes through. I doubt they would like to appose me"
Azazel and Masaru chatted a bit more before Masaru left for the Student Council room, when he entered the room he noticed Sona was dealing with papers together with Momo and Tsubaki who both smiled when they saw him,
"We will be leaving you two alone" Tsubaki spoke as she took out Momo from the student council office,
Sona took out her chess set "Chess?"
"Congratulations on winning your Rating Game match, as expected your strategies really are amazing," Masaru said as he moved his chess piece playing chess with Sona,
"Thank you for your compliment, but I have much training to do if I were to ever reach your level" Sona said humbly, she considered Masaru as her target. She never wanted to become the champion, but someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him and him alone.
Masaru gently pokes her forehead "You should follow your own path Sona, as much as I love you girls wanting to be as good as me in what I do. I would rather see you girls choose what you all want to be, seeing each of you smiling while following your dreams is part of my dream as well"
>\/<
After having his fun with Sona, Masaru went to the Monster Cafe to help the girls who were managing things there.
"Ah, Ma-kun you arrived!" Akeno came dragging Masaru into the kitchen before giving him a kiss,
"Thank you for the meal" Masaru spoke as he went over to put on an apron around his waist,
"How are things going for the Monster Cafe?" Masaru asked, without the need of instructions he already started to cook one of the orders he read on the note written by the waiter.
Everest threw in a piece of burger on the pan before looking at Masaru to answer "Well we are almost out of ingredients"
Akeno came over to help Masaru wash the vegetables, the speed Masaru was cooking at allowed them to proceed faster with orders, "I have not forgotten about the ticket rewards, so remember I will be giving you all the time you want"
Hearing this Everest, Akeno and Ingvild look at each other remembering the number of tickets they have collected was enough to keep Masaru occupied for a long time. Shirone who came back from her inspection jumped onto Masaru's back,
"Careful!" Masaru warned with a wry smile, allowing her to cling onto him till she slowly got off him
"Big Brother, is it true we can redeem our reward tickets now?" Shirone asked with excitement gleaming within her eyes, Masaru scratched the back of his head feeling a bit embarrassed but nodded.
During the entire school festival event, Masaru took each of the girls out to buy things for them. Masaru even took Roygun and Ulrika out although the two of them had to transform into younger girls to avoid rumours since it was in the human world, not to mention that it still ended up causing a massive uproar in the school it was at least not at the level of a student and teacher going out on dates.
This festival event was quite enjoyable for Masaru and his girls, now that he finally came back after a short trip of work, he could finally enjoy a relaxed life... not.
>\/<
"Masaru" Yui rest her head on Masaru's shoulder looking at the experiment results Hiei was sponsoring which included in creating more unique artificial Sacred gears, the most troubling factor was the fact that some ingredients required to make them were not available in batches.
"Hmm?" Masaru turns to look at Yui who kissed his cheek,
"You should rest, you still work right after the school festival" She spoke feeling a bit worried, the other girls were currently entertaining Diana who came back to their home in the human world.
Masaru places the documents on the table as he turns his chair allowing Yui to sit on his lap, "Well, it is thanks to you girls who keep helping me that I could handle the work faster. So I will be done soon" Masaru gently kisses Yui's neck allowing her to lean against his chest,
"I missed you, we all missed you. Although it was only for a month and you came to visit, but having you here with us is what we desire" Yui said, just being in his embrace allowed her to relax. All the worries were gone, and she wished for this moment to last forever.
Masaru held Yui "And you girls should be able to feel it, my feelings I hold for each of you girls. I wish to be with you all as well, I just hope we can deal with the problems soon. That way, I can simply live like a salted fish, simply spoiling each of you rotten"
Yui closed her eyes feeling warm and relaxed in Masaru's arms, although their meeting and how she joined up in his peerage was for the sake of saving her from being eliminated by the Bael Family, she would do it all again if it was to meet Masaru again who she loves is holding her right now.
It did not take long for his office to be cramped when the girls all came to visit him, that night Masaru spent the entire night speaking with the girls sharing his experiences while hearing what each of them went through as well.
