Tour of Lodon and Galaxy Apple's.

After the meeting, Kurayami kept his promise to Annabeth and decided to spend the day touring the city. They walked out of the hotel fully pleased with the food as they walked around the big city they got a lot of looks.

It was not every day that you see a bunch of girls fawning over the same man so a lot of young men stared daggers at Kurayami. He ignored them as he did not care what regular mortals cared about as he saw them as beneath him. He was pretty much a god that could destroy their city with a flick of his wrist.

The girls were getting annoyed that he was being disrespected as while they did not think about it, being strong changed your mentality.

"Ignore them. Them being envious is only natural to their superiors."

Raynare shrugged as she realized it was true.

"We have changed I guess."

Kurayami shook his head as he saw the big city. At first glance it was beautiful, but he could see several crimes happening.

"It's not that we changed, it's that the stronger you become, the more pride you have in yourself. Amaterasu, I want to ask you something. How do you view humans?"

She looked around at the humans gazing at their group and answered truthfully.

"As servants that need protection, I guess. I would not go around slaughtering them, but I do see them as beneath me. Violent and so stupid I guess. Not much different from us I would say."

Esdeath thought about her life and what she saw the normal humans around.

'Worms that should die. The weak have no right to live, why do we the strong keep hidden?'

Kurayami noticed her glance and had to agree. He reached out and pulled her close to him.

"I understand what you think. If the gods and supernatural races are so strong, why have we not taken over? I don't get it."

Amaterasu decided to answer in the way she saw it.

"I guess it is just not worth it. At best for a god, the more worship we get the more our power grows. However, if we do take over the humans they will get scared and never underestimate what desperate humans can do. I remember the first time I saw the Atom Bomb from Japan and while I could do the same, humans did that with no magic."

Annabeth thought about it and it was true. If humans could do that to each other, what else could they do when all of them united.

"Kurayami, what do you think of humans?"

That question made him relive every single terrible thing they did to him. What he did to survive he gave an honest answer.

"They are more savage than beasts but can commit the worst and most noble acts. I am really not sure anymore."

Kuroka hugged him tight as she could see the negative emotions around him. She still wondered what had him so traumatized. He always had a good family and people around him, but something was keeping him chasing after strength like it was his only hope.

"I am fine, let's just enjoy our day here."

Kuroka hugged him tight and let go.

"If you need to just vent we are here. We're your family after all."

He smiled as he dropped his guard fully to try to relax.

"How about we go to see Buckingham Palace and then we go to Big Ben."

Annabeth perked up as she would get to see some new architecture.

"Let's go."

For the rest of the day, they toured all of London and snacked on the local food. They then realized that eating food not containing magic was rather lackluster. They had been eating Akeno's cooking that used magic ingredients and now the restaurant gave their mouth a shock.

Kurayami bit a hotdog he bought before he spat it out in a garbage can. Lavinia patted him on the back as he wiped his mouth.

"Disgusting."

Grayfia understood what he meant as the stronger you got the better your perception.

"Master, I assume you felt everything that it contained?"

He nodded.

"It was like I could taste all the nasty stuff in it."

Amaterasu explained the issue to him.

"It's your perception. Before you have gotten used to eating your sister's cooking for so long that anything below that standard is seen as foul. Not to mention that you just had the King's quality of food. Eating that hotdog must have been like eating shit after eating an A5 steak."

Kurayami reached out and picked up Akeno holding her in the air by her waist.

"So this is your fault? Your food is too good."

She shook her head as she loved when he held her hips.

"Should I let Raynare cook them?"

Raynare was the first to reject the idea.

"No way, I suck at cooking. The last thing I cooked was terrible. It just means that you are too good a cook."

Akeno looked smug as she learned from her mother just for this.

"You can all thank me then."

He put her down as it was time to go home.

"Well now that we are done with that, I say we go home. Note to self, do not eat food made by anyone other than you Akeno."

She smiled at the praise as she was glad he was proud of her cooking.

"I will make sure to keep you, well-fed brother. All of you too I guess."

Natsume shook her head as Akeno, Grayfia, and Kuroka were the only ones who could cook.

"We thank you for your efforts."

Kurayami used his power to dull all the humans around him and teleported away to his home. Once again everyone slept with him in his room as the bed was more than big enough. Amaterasu actually decided to stay for a few days as she did not have much to do.

As the world was mostly at peace, she spent most of her days just sitting on her mountain so this was preferable. They all spent the night wiht Kurayami as they realized that he truly relaxed when they were all with him.

Grayfia herself actually got to be the one in his arms this night as she asked for it. Now that she was in his arms she placed her ear on his chest to listen to his heart. It was powerful and had a soothing rhythm to it.

'My master? Sirzechs should allow me to stay here with him, I do not want to leave anymore.'

He hugged her a bit tight as he opened his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about not being able to stay with me. You're my maid are you not."

She blushed happily as she hugged him tighter.

"Yes, master."

The next morning after everyone got dressed, Kurayami was going to go with her to see Sirzechs. For once she actually dressed normally and not in her maid uniform. She actually ended up looking younger when she dressed up.

"Grayfia, if I did not love your maid uniform I would ask you to have as many days off as you need."

(Image here.)

She looked at herself in an ice mirror and tied up her hair.

"I guess so."

Walburga who saw how Grayfia got dressed up looked at Kuraymi as she wanted to go too.

"Can I have a day off as well? I am going to knock your expectations when you see how I dress up."

He thought of it before he noticed the red look on her face.

"No, keep cleaning."

She pouted as she walked off. While she did that everyone looked at Grayfia as she truly was a stunner. Raynare looked her over and whistled.

"Grayfia, you are gorgeous. No wonder Kurayami got smitten with you."

Kurayami nodded.

"That was one of the reasons, but mostly that I could see the effort you put to get strong."

Esdeath and Lavinia ever since she arrived had been receiving some advice on ice control so they were close to Grayfia. Esdeath looked at her and gave her a thumbs up.

"If he does not agree, I will kick his ass for you."

Lavinia just smiled.

"I am sure Sirzechs will agree. He needs Kurayami to control the Great King faction."

Annabeth decided to ask a question on her mind that had been bugging her since day one.

"If the Super Devils are in the top 10 words strongest, why the hell are they, office workers."

Latia sighed as she knew it well.

"My uncle and Sirzechs could massacre all of the Great King faction, but they would weak our Pantheon more than it already is. As such they wish to keep peace steady to keep the Devils even a little relevant."

Kurayami sighed as he found it dumb.

"Well, when I enter the Super Class I will offer my help to Ajuka to put more pressure on the Great King faction. You ready to go Grayfia?"

She nodded as she took his arm.

"If you do not mind."

Amaterasu who had been sitting at the table was in an oversized black t-shirt and a pair of short shorts. That shirt belonged to Kurayami which on her shorter figure looked just right. She got up and pulled him down by his collar.

She kissed him on the lips as that was the first kiss they shared.

"Good luck. Leave before they all ask for one."

He laughed as she followed her advice. Grayfia, Shin and he all teleported in a flash of black flames. All the girls looked at Amaterasu with some annoyed looks as they also wanted a kiss with him.

"Sorry ladies, I guess I was just faster."

While they were arguing Kurayami and Grayfia appeared in Sirzech's office. He was normally here doing paperwork that the Devil council sent him. When he saw those flames he knew it was Kurayami bringing back Grayfia.

'Well, she is back safely.'

When both of them appeared Sirzechs did not even get a chance to speak. Grayfia walked in front of him and shocked him.

"Sirzechs, I would like to request you release me from your service. I would like to serve my master as a maid full-time from now on. I will still be your Queen, but my loyalty shall be to my master first."

He groaned as this was headache-inducing.

"You finally found your proper master?"

Grayfia nodded.

"You know the peculiarity of my family. We only choose one true master to serve and you were my employer. I choose Kuraymi as my master."

Sirzechs looked at Kurayami and sighed.

"It's fine. The Great King faction has been bugging me that they want you to marry someone from their side as well. You are marrying two Devils from the Satan faction and they want peace of the pie."

Kurayami waved it off.

"Tell them I refuse. Anything having to do with those old foggiest is probably already brainwashed to make me serve them in a way. Not interested."

Sirzechs expected that.

"I am glad you can see their trick. While you are here, Michael contacted me as he agreed to the Military alliance. Now, can you tell me about Amaterasu?"

He shrugged.

"What is there to say? She is my ancestor and my fiance?"

Sirzechs chuckled hearing it.

"You really are part god. Your sister and your ancestor are in the same harem. Not many can claim the same Kurayami."

Kurayami sat down as he decided to talk about some stuff he wanted to try.

"This is going to sound odd, but I wanted to ask if you have any ways to cause a great deal of pain to the body. Phycological or physical."

Sirzechs raised an eyebrow before he nodded.

"There is a rare type of apple called Galaxy apples. They grow in Tartarus and only grow once every 1,000 years. Consuming them cause the body to break down and rebuild better than before so they are greatly sought after. However, they cause the user to live through their worst fears."

Kurayami thought of Azrael who lived in Tartarus for an untold amount of time so he must have a few.

"Do they decay?"

Sirzechs shook his head.

"No, they last until someone eats them, but a tree only grows 3 of the fruit in its lifetime. It's why they are so rare and sought after."

Hearing that made Kurayami interested in visiting Nyx and Tartarus in general.

"Is Nyx friendly?"

Sirzechs shook his head.

"Far from it. She is a sadistic woman."

Kurayami blinked as he expected more.

"That it? I guess I will first talk to her than Azrael to see if she has any to trade for. Thanks, Sirzechs, I guess I owe you one."

Sirzechs decided to use that favor.

"Wait, can I ask you to just make my sister train. Does not have to be you, but anyone."

Kurayami nodded.

"I can give her to my Dragon King familiar Tyrant if that is fine with you."

Sirzechs nodded.

"I will appreciate you doing that."

Kurayami looked at Grayfia and Shin.

"Guess I am making a trip to Tartarus before I go home. I got to talk to Nyx."

Grayfia took his arm as she was ready.

"I will go where you go, master."

Shin howled to the sky as he was curious about these apples. If anyone could use them it was his master. Finlay Kurayami teleported away toward Tarturus to find Nyx. Her being a sadist was not new to him as he was one himself.

If anyone could talk to her, it was him.
