The phone was quickly connected, and Mai's familiar and pleasant voice came from the cell phone.

"Hello?"

"It's me, Badr."

"I know, you're the only one who would call to bother me this late."

Mai's tone sounded a bit lazy.

Badr didn't mind Mai's teasing at all; after all, he really liked her personality.

"Are you already asleep?"

"Not yet, I just finished taking a bath and am changing clothes," Mai replied. As expected, Badr heard the rustling sounds in the background.

Badr raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "So, what do you look like now, Mai? Please tell me."

"I'm already in my pajamas."

Eh, that was quick.

"Wearing clothes to bed is really not right."

"Not wearing pajamas makes it easy to catch a cold." Mai wasn't afraid of Badr's teasing.

"You should let me hold your body to warm each other."

"Hmm? You seem to be in a very good mood today."

Even in the face of such private topics, Mai remained calm, although Badr didn't know if she was blushing on the other end of the line.

It seemed that Mai Sakurajima had gotten to know Badr very well, guessing that he was in a good mood. Usually, Badr was quite reserved, only becoming a bit more lively when chatting with her, let alone being so flirtatious.

Acknowledging his mood, Badr smiled and admitted, "I encountered something happy."

He then told her about signing five contracts in one go.

Mai's tone turned wistful as she said, "Isn't having me enough?"

Badr blinked and chuckled, "So, Mai gets jealous too, huh?"

"I'm not."

"Really?"

"Of course not..."

The girl stubbornly denied it, but after two seconds of silence, she reluctantly said, "It's just that I used to be the only contract partner you had, and it gave me a sense of exclusive satisfaction. Though I did expect that you would eventually find more contractors."

Badr couldn't help but smile, "Why do I feel so happy hearing you get jealous? Mai, you're too cute."

"Don't get carried away."

If they weren't on the phone, Badr was sure Mai Sakurajima would have reached out to pinch his face or step on his foot.

He felt a sweet sensation in his heart.

"Mai, I sign contracts to become stronger so I can protect everything I care about. You must understand that."

Hearing Badr's words, Mai sat on the bed, nodded lightly after a moment of silence, and said, "I know. You have your own exciting world."

"No, my world is exciting because of you all."

Badr said seriously, "That's why I need to become stronger, to protect all of this. If I lose you all, what's the point of guarding this life alone?"

"So 'you all' includes me, but I have no idea who else is in 'you all'," Mai said softly.

Badr was speechless for a moment, then softly said, "There's my master, and my companions who are also servants like me. They all know about you, but there's never been a chance for you to meet them. I'll find an opportunity for you to meet them next time."

"...I feel like I don't really know you. Maybe I'm just a passerby in your life. After all, I'm different from you; my life is too short for you."

Mai seemed to be lamenting but was also very rational, making Badr feel her helplessness.

Badr cleared his throat, sensing Mai's low spirits, and then got up, used his magic power, and directly teleported to Mai Sakurajima's house.

"It's not what you think. We'll be together forever. You're already the target of this devil, and now you can't escape."

He stood in front of Mai's bed, smiling as he spoke. Mai, holding her phone, sat on the bed and stared at him in a daze.

After being stunned for two seconds, she regained her senses and couldn't help but pout, "This is an unauthorized invasion."

Badr didn't respond, lifting the covers and getting into the bed, noticing Mai wearing cute pink pajamas.

"Ah, you really did put on your pajamas..."

Mai Sakurajima: "..."

She suddenly kicked out, her foot landing on Badr's face.

"Who told you to get into my bed, pervert."

The girl blushed, especially since Badr had just taken a bath and only wore boxers when he teleported over, which undoubtedly gave Mai a considerable shock...

"Ugh..."

Badr grabbed Mai's foot, played with it a bit, then released it and hugged her shoulders.

"I came because I saw you were sad."

He moved closer and kissed the girl's cheek with a gentle smile, "So, Mai, would you like to share eternity with me?"

Mai's cheeks turned slightly red, too shy to meet the boy's dark, bright eyes, and quickly turned her head away.

"Of course, I want eternity."

"Eh...I don't think I heard what I wanted to hear." Badr clicked his tongue.

"If you didn't hear it, then forget it. Let's sleep." Mai's eyes carried a smile as she spoke, then lay down directly.

She turned her back to Badr, as if she really intended to sleep.

Badr smiled softly, moved closer, hugged Mai's soft waist from behind, and his hand found hers.

The girl immediately opened her fingers, intertwining them with his.

No words were needed; their hearts were already connected.

Badr gently smelled Mai's hair fragrance, softly kissing her neck.

"Don't...no hickeys, I have an audition tomorrow..."

Mai turned her head, looking at the boy with a hint of apology.

"Oh, sorry," Badr quickly apologized and then kissed her lips.

This time, Mai didn't resist, her heart fluttering as she became affectionate with her lover...

...

In the bedroom, Badr and Mai Sakurajima were passionately making out, both releasing their inner feelings.

After a long while, they slowly parted their lips, looking into each other's eyes quietly, so quiet that they could almost hear each other's heartbeat.

Badr remained calm, while Mai Sakurajima, being a girl, blushed significantly after the kiss.

Even though Mai usually had a queen-like aura, she now showed a shy demeanor.

"This counts as a little reward for you," she smiled, trying to maintain the upper hand in their relationship.

The boy had a gentle smile, his eyes so tender they could make anyone's heart melt;

People often say that the eyes of someone in love can't hide their emotions. At this moment, the tenderness in the boy's eyes was almost overflowing.

"If it's just this little reward, it seems too little."

Badr said softly, his hand mischievously reaching towards Mai.

In a moment of intimacy, he quickly felt the girl's delicate skin.

Mai couldn't help but let out a soft cry, her face instantly turning red.

"I-I didn't allow you to reach in..." she tried to stay calm.

"That's right, so I thought I should take the initiative." Badr smiled, pecked her lips lightly, and looked closely at her beautiful face.

The big star was already blushing, her eyes carrying a touch of charm, truly captivating.

"Don't look at me, it's embarrassing."

She reached out to cover Badr's eyes, only to see the corners of his mouth lift slightly.

"Mai..."

"Hmm??"

"Will you become my wife?"

Being covered by Mai's hand, Badr felt calm inside. He moved his hands back to her waist, hugging her soft body, and unconsciously caressed her waist.

"...Why ask this suddenly?" Mai was taken aback by Badr's straightforward question, her heart pounding, feeling extremely shy.

Badr's smile deepened.

He had never thought before that he would seriously fall in love with a girl.

He had always intentionally kept a low profile, rarely interacting with others, often preferring to stay alone, even just quietly daydreaming.

He never felt lonely, rather he disliked pretending to smile and interact with people.

But living in this world, it's impossible not to interact with people. There would always be things that forced him to accept.

So, Badr tried hard to maintain his fake smile, making himself look ordinary, not too aloof and unique.

However, everything changed after his transmigration.

He not only became a devil but also met people like Rias, who truly entered his heart.

He gained the power to ignore worldly rules, allowing him to indulge his personality, yet due to the contracts, he still had to interact with people.

After becoming a devil, Badr had changed a lot. He often expressed his true emotions, rarely faking pleasantries, as he could now ignore worldly rules.

More importantly, he smiled more often, genuine smiles, because he found more interesting people and things.

Maybe he was meant to live in this world.

The original world was so dull.

He exhaled lightly, finally smiling as he removed Mai's hand, his black eyes fixed on the girl in front of him.

"My life used to be empty and boring, but now I think I must have come to this world to meet you all."

"This is when you should mention only me," Mai Sakurajima suddenly said with some displeasure, tugging at Badr's face.

She knew Badr was a devil, couldn't judge him by human standards. He had been honest about how important his master and companions were to him.

But she still didn't like not being able to have him all to herself when they were alone...

Badr, his face tugged by Mai, noticed her queen-like aura returning and couldn't help but smile happily.

Mai was slightly stunned, then she smiled as well:

"Not bad, now that smile looks much better. The first time I saw you, I really wanted to punch your fake smiling face."

As she said this, she let go of Badr and snuggled into his arms.
