Meeting the Belphegor Family Head

Next morning Masaru was heading out, Ophis changed her looks since she wanted to come along with Masaru this was the deal Masaru made with the dragon god for her to come along.Should she appear in the devil world, he could imagine the chaos that would erupt within moments when she is spotted and how the devil kings would arrive at the scene with shocked faces.

Currently, she appears to look the same with silver hair and amber coloured eyes making her look like Masaru's daughter, she glanced innocently at Masaru asking "This good?"

Masaru glances at her seeing that it was indeed hard to determine her identity, so he had her wear cute casual clothes the girls bought for her yesterday afternoon. "This is quite cute, you look good in it"

"Is that so?" Ophis said while looking at her clothes, her eyes were gleaming with emotions as she twirls around finding the frills on her skirt interesting when it floats.

The rest of the girls went with Diana to the hospital for her periodic check-up with the doctor to get an update on the progress of her pregnancy, so it was only Roygun, Masaru and Ophis who was currently sitting in the back of the Limousine.

"How did your family act towards you when you were exiled from your household?" Masaru asked, he never asked this before since Roygun at that time was exiled and brining up such memories without her bringing it up first would make the atmosphere gloomy. This time was different since they were going to meet them, so Masaru had to know.

Roygun smiled bitterly, she could remember their faces at that time. "They were disappointed but they did not hate me for it" She answered.

Masaru nodded as he now knew how to handle his in-laws when they arrive, he just wanted to make sure if they were fair or unfair towards her. He could understand their disappointment towards her at the start, he still felt they should have spoken with her in-depth to understand the situation instead of taking action so quickly.

Ophis was quiet, in the short period of time she developed a hidden rivalry against Shirone for the rights of Masaru's lap. Although Shirone already grew up that it could be said she was almost a young lady, she still felt protective over Masaru's lap. Masaru did not stop their rivalry as he noticed that Ophis was changing, albeit slowly he could see that there was improvements in her expressions.

Shortly the three of them arrived in front of the Belphegor Family Manor, unlike the Gremory and the Phenex who were extravagant. The Belphegor family Manor was modest, when Masaru climbed out of the Limousine they were welcomed by the current head of the Belphegor Family who was the cousin of Roygun.

"Welcome to our humble abode Young Master Belial" The head of Belphegor greeted Masaru who was holding Ophis's hand, although the glint of disdain towards Roygun did not escape Masaru's sight

'I will make a mental note of this' Masaru thought of this, he was someone who would return grievances from others several times back. That was why his debut after his family became a higher noble rank, he made his entrance flashy and his girls demonstrated their prowess.

Smiling, Masaru said "I am here to meet with Roygun's parents, I wish to discuss my intention to marry her"

Masaru's words made the Head of Belphegor family smile broadly thinking he could use his familial bond with Roygun to get some benefits from Masaru. But he would never expect that Masaru was here to destroy that bridge, Masaru had different plans for them like he did with Adramelech Family.

"Yes Yes! Please come in!" The Cousin escorted Masaru and Roygun to a smaller house at the back of the Manor, it's appearance was well designed but the size was not something made for two people to live in.

Roygun clenched her fist as she looks at her parent's house, it was her fault because of her actions they were now treated as the shame of the family. Masaru could not help but frown at this sight, he was familiar with this situation as Stephani's grandmother and Ichika's grandfather were in similar situations hench why Adramelech and Seere family were under his control.

'What right do I have to face them now... After what I have caused them' Roygun thought with a depressed face, but a single squeeze of Masaru's hand blew away her depression when she felt his warm hands hold hers and his kind smile. Masaru let go of Roygun's hand to knock on the door,

"Who is it?" an Elderly voice came from the inside of the house,

"My name is Masaru Belial, I am the fiancé of Roygun and here to visit her parents" Masaru said proudly, he would never feel ashamed of her parents as long as they did not hold grievances towards her for no reason.

Suddenly the door burst open with an Elder man holding a bat in his hands "You dare say you are.... huh?"

Roygun's father saw his daughter was indeed there but his eyes were glued at the little girl who was holding Masaru's hand, he asked with a stuttering voice "I-Is... That my granddaughter?"

Both Masaru and Roygun were floored at this old man, it appears bringing Ophis caused them a different kind of trouble instead.

"No no! I don't have a child yet father!" Roygun said blushing deep red, although she really wanted one. She just did not want her father to misunderstand her.

Hearing this the old man glances at Masaru with vigilance "Then what is your relationship with my daughter?"

"She is my fiancé, I intend to marry her and keep her happy" Masaru answered without feeling a bit threatened by this old man who glared at him before his facial expression softened,

"Come in" The elder man said,

Masaru, Roygun and Ophis entered the house together while the Cousin followed shortly after them, the house really was incredibly small. This caused Masaru to feel even more angered, there should be a limit to harassment.

"Father-in-law, how about moving to the Belial Territory? Roygun has a territory there is a nice farm for Father-in-law to work on. She even prepared a nice home for you and mother-in-law" Masaru said while Roygun looks at him wondering when she prepared something like this, she would never imagine that Masaru used the Command Seal to send orders to Hiei to have it built at this moment.

The elderly man chuckled glancing at Masaru with a playful smile. "You want to bribe me for my daughter?"

Before Masaru could deny the old man, Roygun's mother smacked the back of his head "You really are suspicious of everyone! This boy came here out of respect and you show him nothing but disrespect, I tell you now Roy you better behave"

The mother had a similar appearance as Roygun with pink hair, appearance in her late twenties. "I'm sorry Trisha, I will not do it again!"

The blacked hair Roy with an appearance in his middle age, amber coloured eyes was pleading to his wife with sweet words, Masaru was not shocked at this sight making Trisha quite amused at this boy "Come take a seat first, please excuse our home is a bit small"

Roy stood up vigorously as everyone took their seat in the lounge, Roy could not help but sneer in his heart when he glanced at his nephew who came into their house without care. However, his attention was drawn towards his daughter and a little girl both sitting on Masaru's lap. He could not say a thing, since their house was small with little space to sit at.

"So you are the man Roygun chose, I have to admit she really has good taste" Trisha spoke with a warm smile looking how Masaru and Roygun were acting intimately,

Roy snorted as he looks the other way still wanting to settle scores with Masaru later for taking his daughter without his consent.

Masaru smiled warmly as he chose to make use of this good impression he left on Trisha to get extra brownie points, he could allow her to "persuade" her husband to understand "Thank you for your kind compliment, Mother-in-law."

Masaru and the parents chatted happily for a while when Masaru suggested it again. "Why not move into our territory?"

Hearing Masaru's question they did not answer immediately, Trisha, squinted her eyes "Can I ask you why you are determined to have us at your territory?"

Masaru chuckled finding his mother-in-law was really a cunning fox, even she noticed her nephew's cramped face at his suggestion. So she immediately chose to "ask" indirectly for Masaru's help to pressure this man who caused so much harm to her daughter. "Because I will never treat family like their animals, if someone in my family makes a mistake. I will atone for it with them, carry it with them. instead of discarding them in a pitiful little home. You are Roygun's precious family, she is my precious woman. That makes the two of you my precious family as well"

Trisha nodded feeling quite happy with Masaru being her son-in-law, however, both she and Roy were taken aback when Roygun went on her knees crying as if she could no longer contain the sadness of seeing how hard life had been for her family.

"Please mother, father. Let me make it up for you, I- I'm sorry that I disappointed the both of you" Roygun began to apologize to her parents, her tears accumulated before it began rolling down her cheeks, Masaru gently held her hand as she continued to aks them.

Trisha and Roy understood that simply trying to wave away Roygun's mistakes would only make her feel more guilty, instead, they would take her "request" as her way of "atoning". It was Roy who took the charge of this.

"Since it is my DAUGHTER who asked me I will go live in this farm" Roy spoke although he hates to admit it, he felt grateful for what Masaru has done for his daughter.

"No no, I have already arranged with the family to move the both of you back into the main house" The cousin spoke hurriedly, however, he instantly quiet down. He turned looking towards Masaru who shot him a glare.

"Why were they in this house in the first place, do you know why I came here?" Masaru said with a deep smile,

The cousin froze looking at Masaru wondering why this boy was showing hostility all of the sudden, "I came here to see who was the allies and enemies of Roygun, you and the rest of the Belphegor Family already answered my questions for me."

"So I will give you two choices, you either abdicate your position as Patriarch since I have evidence that you plotted the death of your father to take the seat" Masaru said nonchalantly causing Trisha to shiver glaring at her nephew, Roy was shocked at Masaru's words and could not react as fast as Trisha while Roygun closed her eyes since she knew what Masaru intends to do.

"The other choice, I will release the information to the public. The Patriarch seat will still go to Roygun, but you will be publicity executed for plotting against a noble although you were the heir along with your other crimes you commited" Masaru said glaring at him,

"I know everything you did" Masaru spoke with a fierce glint flashing his eyes sending a shiver down the Cousin's spine,

"Y-You can't attack us! We have laws" The cousin said.

Masaru chuckled "You have a single day to announce your retirement, or its your head"

Masaru mentioned a few more things making the cousin's face turn pale as he hurriedly nods "It's fine! I will announce my retirement and leave with my family"

He stood up leaving hurriedly to get the processes done, he was simply terrified at how much Masaru understood of his crimes and even his personal life. 'Dear Satan, just what sort of Monster is this Masaru Belial!' He thought while wishing he had more legs to help him run faster.

"So this is my son in law huh? You have won my approval, however, what is your intention of making Roygun the Matriarch?" Trisha ask,

"Your family is not the only who suppressed someone of my girls's family members, I did the same with Seere and Adramelech having the girls become the leader of the family. Although this move is tyrannical, the girls proved themselves by making the family prosper and grow to allow them to accept it." Masaru answered glancing at Roygun with a tender gaze,

"She will do the same, I believe that she will be able to do it. She is, after all, my fiance" Masaru said,

"I will not let you down" Roygun spoke confidently, she felt her heart would jump out of her chest seeing how serious Masaru was in laying the foundation for her future path. She knew, with this, she will have to make the Belphegor Family rise just like Adramelech and Seere, since her child with Masaru would become the heir.

"I see" Tishaspoke with a smile since she understood the future plans, she could envision it already hench her impression of Masaru increased even more. She took Roygun's hand to have her help her pack their most needed things.

Roy glances at Masaru who was gently caressing Ophis's hair. "Is that your daughter?"

Hearing Roy's question Masaru shook his head "She is an important family member but not my daughter, are you fine with the arrangements?"

Masaru answered to which Ophis turn to look at Masaru with curious eyes before turning her face back to allow Masaru to continue to caress her hair since she enjoyed the feeling.

"Sigh, the moment the family forced my daughter to leave the family I had no choice but to accept it the fact the family gave up on me too. But to think you would appear, usurp the family so easily like it's nothing. Will the law not pursue you for this?" Roy answered with a complicated face, and asked with a curious gaze.

"It's because I have evidence against their actions, although they can fight against me for usurping it. They won't be able to stop it since the one who will take the head of the family is, after all, a real pureblood member of the family" Masaru answered,

Roy nodded as he could understand from this that Masaru had experience in dealing with situations like this, 'No wonder the rumours of Roygun's scandal were handled so efficiently, I always wondered where my daughter went off since the day we were kicked out of the main house. So you met your fated one huh? Grown girls have to leave home eventually..' he thought

When Trisha and Roygun came out carrying only two bags Roy was confused, "Why so few things?"

Trisha smiled happily, she decided that she and her husband would retire in the Belial Family since Roygun told her that she will use subordinates to manage the Family matters for her by using Masaru's help so she will mostly be in Belial Territory hench Trisha could accept the proposal to move.

"Our daughter already prepared everything for us, or could it be you want to keep the things those ungrateful bastards gave us?" She asked to which Roy snorted

"Of course not, I thought we could perhaps sell it for dirt cheap or something" Roy muttered as he stood up, The five of them left the Belphegor Manor on the carriage Masaru, Roygun and Ophis came with back to the Belial Territory.

"Thank you" Roygun muttered as she leaned her head on Masaru's shoulder,

Masaru kissed her forehead "No need for thanks, your problems are my problems. We are one"

Roygun nodded as she committed to her heart what Masaru had done for her, Ophis was currently being spoilt with sweets by Trisha. Masaru smiled warmly as he could see that Ophis was enjoying her new life so far, but he will wait for the day she can tell him herself where her home is.

>\/<

Another day pass by, while Masaru was busy getting dressed to meet up with Yasaka as promised, Ophis came out of his wardrobe like a ninja

"Nin nin, I have appeared from the wardrobe" Ophis declared,

Masaru stared at her with a surprised face as he did not even sense her. 'Just what level is this loli's presence erase at? Wonder how long would it take for me to reach her level' He thought as he gently caresses Ophis's head

"Want to come with me to meet my teacher and Yasaka?" Masaru asked

Ophis nodded her head as she went out to ask one of the girls to help her dress as she could only materialize clothes with magic, but for some reason, she enjoyed it when the girls dressed her up although she would have never guessed that it was because she looks like a doll with her expressionless face that was slowly developing expression after living with Masaru.

"Big brother, can I come?" Shirone asked walking into his room already dressed in a one-piece white dress with delicate patterns weaved into the dress, standing on high heels Masaru could guess she was not used to wearing those.

"Well sure, I will only meet up to see what Yasaka wants and also to update my teacher" Masaru nodded as he did not mind Shirone tagging along,

"Yes!" Shirone punches her fist up in the air, but when Ophis appeared all of the sudden the two of them glanced at Masaru's thigh, then at each other as if lightning sparks go off.

"Let's go" Masaru finished tying his bowtie wearing a grey formal suit for the meeting since it was official after all, he chose to ignore the rivalry between the two as he realized that Shirone had taken Ophis as her little sister and cared dearly for her.

>\/<

After a while, in Kyoto. Seo's Second-Hand store. Ulrika knocked on the door,

"Who is it?" Seo opened the door looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, his eyes began to wander around.

BZZZZT!

BANG!

"BA-BA-BA-BA-BRA!!!" Seo stuttered while his hair burnt from being electrocuted by his twin wives, the two twins stood closer to him glaring at him with rage filled eyes.

"You dare ogle a woman in front of us huh Seo?"

"So you got tired of us after we got pregnant?"

Hearing their questions Seo sweated buckets as he began to explain to his wives he loved only them amongst other things.

"So can I know what pleasure do I owe for a lady like you to appear in front of my doorstep?" Seo asked but Ulrika placed a black suitcase in front of him,

"I want to know if you are interested in working permanently with a stable income, good home and a good school for your kids that is coming soon" Ulrika spoke, this offer was attractive but Seo glances at her,

"What work will it be?" Seo asked with a serious look on his face, this proposition was too timely for him. If he could secure a good life for his family, he would grasp it even if he had to work off his bones despite being a lazy natured person.

"What you are best at after all" Ulrika answered him,

Seo nodded "So who will be my employer?"

Ulrika giggled at Seo's question "It is Masaru, the same boy you helped to find the witches last year"

Hearing this Seo roared in rage causing Ulrika to flinch in surprise, "That brat who forgot to pay my other half of the fees!?"

Seo glances at the suitcase opening it to see what exactly was inside, but what he saw was stacks of money notes piled up neatly. Seo swallowed his saliva forgetting his initial rage, this made Ulrika look at him with an amused expression.

'With this I can eat Meat!' He thought

"I'll take the job" Seo answered without hesitation, this amount of money was already enough to maintain his family for a lifetime.

According to their contract they have an option to become Devils too so they can live much longer in the future if they ever desire it, such benefits were too enticing for the man who feels that hundred years was too short to live a good life. He wants to increase the number of kids he can have with his wives!

Ulrika nodded as she handed over a device that teleports people to Hiei Headquarters guest room. This is the device he will use for a year to display his loyalty before he will gain his personal one,

"I and my fiancé, Masaru. Look forward to working together with you Sir Seo" Ulrika muttered before she turned around leaving a shocked Seo alone,

"That brat managed to snag such a beautiful Milf? My god!" Seo said with his jaw dropped,

>\/<

"Welcome to my humble abode" Yasaka welcomes Masaru with a cramped face when she sensed the presence of Ophis,

"Thanks" Masaru answered not bothered by her expression since he understood the reason, he took his seat with Shirone on his left and Ophis on his right,

"Can I know why you are together with the leader of Khaos Brigade?" Yasaka glances at Ophis with vigilance, seeing this Masaru began to explain his understanding of the situation he had Ophis answer some things as well.

"I see, but to believe it is kind of hard to do" Yasaka said, she felt complicated as the story was too surreal yet the evidence was right in front of her.

She took a deep breath as if she made her choice, "But I will place my faith in the man who planned my safety"

"Although that was a plan both me and my teacher Ajuka came up with, we did not have any proof that the Hero would definitely attack your area but we had to take precaution which is why we created an Artificial Doll to take your place" Masaru answered,

Yasaka nodded as this is a reason she and Ajuka went out on a date last night for her to "thank him" but she became interested in that mysterious man who holds so many secrets.

"But I still have to thank you for the part you played in it" Yasaka bowed to thank Masaru who smiled wryly,

Masaru said with a serious expression, "I know it may sound ridiculous and difficult to accept, I hope you can support my decision to take custody of Ophis, with this Khaos Brigade will not have a strong backing which will make it a bit easier to deal with them"

Hearing Masaru's explanation made her realize that it was indeed the case, the factions could not actively attack Khaos Brigade due to the deterrence of Ophis's existence. With this understanding, Yasaka nodded, this did indeed make the dire situation much more manageable with the strongest being no longer behind the group of terrorist.

"Very well, I Yasaka one of the two leaders of the Yokai Faction will support your decision" Yasaka announced before adding "I hope you can keep your word to have your teacher visit me more often"

Masaru coughed as he nodded, never did he expect in his life that his teacher will finally get a woman of his own.

'Good work Teacher, you really lucked out with this woman' Masaru thought,

"I will make sure he comes to visit since he has a lot of free time, for a dead man. Thank you for your time, but I hope you can forgive me as I have other commitments awaiting" Masaru spoke before standing up.

Yasaka nodded with a smile as she escorted Masaru out watching Masaru holding hands with Ophis and Shirone made her feel something amazing was bound to happen.

"Want to go out and eat something?" Masaru turns to look at Shirone,

"Is it a date?" Shirone asked with an expectant gaze, she really wanted to have a date again with Masaru since spending time with him had always been fun for her.

"Hehe, although it will be the three of us, sure" Masaru squeezes Shirone's hand as the three of them went to eat out at a confectionary shop of Shirone's choice.
