...

If Himejima Akeno and the others saw this, wouldn't i get exposed?...

There was no other way; he'd have to make up for it elsewhere later...

Noticing Badr's gaze, Rias Gremory gave him a playful glare:

"What are you staring at? It's all your fault."

"How about I give you a little massage later to help with the circulation?" Badr offered with a completely serious expression.

Rias Gremory: "..."

At that moment, a ripple of magic energy appeared outside the room, someone had teleported in.

Soon, Asia Argento's voice came through the door.

"Badr, it's time for morning practice. Are you up?"

"Yeah, I'm up," Badr responded.

"Oh... I forgot about morning practice," Rias muttered, quickly adding, "Asia, give us a moment. Badr and I will be out soon."

"Mmm... okay," Asia replied softly, sounding a bit envious. "It's fine... yesterday was a special case. From now on, Asia wants to join too..."

Badr: "..."

Rias Gremory: "..."

Although the little nun spoke in a whisper, there was no way Badr and Rias couldn't hear her, leaving them both a bit speechless.

Badr couldn't help but rub his forehead. "How did a sweet, innocent little nun turn into someone so... H?"

"You're secretly enjoying this, aren't you?" Rias teased.

"Not at all," Badr denied.

But when he thought about the adorable blonde Asia, his expression softened a bit.

Maybe... this isn't so bad?

"You say you're not enjoying it," Rias pouted.

"I just think... Asia becoming a bit more... H... makes her even cuter."

Badr chuckled as he got up and quickly changed clothes, then turned to watch Rias as she elegantly dressed herself in front of him, selecting each piece of clothing that Badr had picked out for her.

Rias Gremory moved gracefully, slipping into her outfit piece by piece, looking every bit the refined woman she was.

This made Badr marvel, "Now I understand why some people enjoy those dress-up games."

"Why?" Rias asked.

"Because watching your own woman get dressed is actually pretty fun."

Rias Gremory: "..."

How was that explanation any different from not explaining at all?

After finishing their morning practice, the three of them teleported to the school, where they met up with Himejima Akeno and Koneko Toujou, heading to class once the time came.

Life finally seemed to be returning to normal.

...

The school bell rang right on time;

As the class thanked the teacher for not running overtime, Badr left the classroom, walking with a group of beautiful girls from the club back to the clubroom.

"We've all been so busy lately that we've barely managed to keep up with our contracts. So tonight, let's get back to work as usual, okay?"

Rias Gremory smiled as she gave the directive, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, we need to clear out some of these contracts; they're piling up," Himejima Akeno laughed. "We even got a new request recently but didn't have time to take it on. What a pity."

"Thank you all for working so hard for my sake," Rias sighed lightly.

"It's our duty," Koneko Toujou's cute face was serious.

"Badr, I'll head out first~"

After preparing herself, Asia smiled sweetly at Badr, her face full of determination.

Badr gently nodded, "Good luck. You got this."

"Mm, I'll do my best!" The little nun smiled brightly before teleporting away.

One by one, everyone teleported off until it was just Rias Gremory and Badr left in the room. Unable to resist, Rias stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips.

They kissed for nearly three minutes before reluctantly pulling apart.

"I couldn't hold back in class," Rias admitted with a smile. "You were all I could think about."

"Wasn't I sitting right beside you the whole time?" Badr laughed softly.

"That's exactly why I couldn't focus," Rias said, a bit frustrated. She felt like she was getting too obsessed, just seeing Badr made her heart race...

"…Should I go?" Badr asked, half-jokingly. "I was planning to meet up with my girlfriend."

"Go on, go on. It'll give me a chance to cool off," Rias smiled sweetly, not at all jealous of the girlfriend Badr mentioned.

After all, as a high-ranking devil, Rias Gremory understood that these things were normal.

In the Underworld, strength was everything. Polygamy or polyandry was common, so even if there were conflicts, the harem would eventually reach harmony...

Badr really was planning to meet Mai Sakurajima; her commercial shoot had just wrapped up, and she was returning from out of town today.

He gave Rias a quick peck on the lips, and the teleportation circle lit up, whisking Badr away to a nearby alley.

When he arrived, Badr saw a young couple embracing, both staring wide-eyed at him as he suddenly appeared.

They were ordinary humans, completely stunned by Badr's supernatural entrance.

Uh... there are people here...

Without a hint of panic, Badr activated a memory-altering spell and calmly walked past the bewildered couple.

The two remained dazed for a moment before completely forgetting the supernatural event they had just witnessed, resuming their secretive kissing, their breathing growing heavier...

Badr casually left the alley. He was here to pick up Mai Sakurajima, so he had chosen a secluded spot for teleportation, only to stumble upon a pair of lovebirds...

After this brief encounter, Badr dialed Mai Sakurajima's number. The phone rang twice before she picked up.

"Hello, Badr?"

"Mai, I'm here."

"Alright, give me five minutes," Mai Sakurajima replied without hesitation, her tone full of that commanding presence.

"Yes, my Queen."

On the other end, Mai seemed amused by his response, letting out a small laugh before hanging up.

About three minutes later, a black SUV pulled up in front of Badr.

The driver was a young woman in her twenties, with shoulder-length hair and glasses, giving off a very professional vibe.

The rear door opened, and Mai Sakurajima stepped out.

"Thank you, Ryoko."

"You're welcome, Miss Mai... and this is...?" Ryoko had already noticed Badr.

As soon as Mai Sakurajima got out of the car, she stood right beside Badr, shoulder to shoulder, making it impossible for Ryoko not to notice him.

"This is my boyfriend."

Mai introduced him casually and then turned to Badr, "This is Ryoko Hanawa, my manager. I mentioned her to you before."

"Hello," Badr greeted her.

Ryoko Hanawa stared at Badr for a moment, stunned.

After a brief pause, she finally let out a surprised exclamation.

"Huh!? Boy-Boyfriend!?"

"...Yes."

Mai confirmed.

Badr blinked, noticing Ryoko's shock, and glanced at Mai.

He was ready to use his memory-altering spell!

Mai quickly stopped him, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal if Ryoko knew. After all, they would have to make it public eventually...

Ryoko shook Badr's hand, still a bit flustered.

"Hello, I'm Ryoko Hanawa, Miss Mai's manager. You can just call me Ryoko."

For some reason, Ryoko felt a bit nervous in front of Badr...

Perhaps it was because Mai Sakurajima usually exuded such a strong aura that Ryoko instinctively placed Badr on equal footing with her.

After all, anyone whom Mai Sakurajima liked must be an exceptional and outstanding person, right?

If Mai knew what Ryoko was thinking, she would have laughed.

Badr wasn't just outstanding; he was beyond human...

But Mai didn't feel like chatting much with Ryoko. After all, she hadn't seen Badr in days and missed him quite a bit.

So, under Ryoko's slightly hesitant gaze, they sent her on her way.

"She must be worried about the tabloids," Badr remarked, noticing Ryoko's concerned expression before she left.

"It wouldn't matter if it went public," Mai said lightly.

"You're at the peak of your career right now, right? Going public could impact your work."

Even though Badr didn't quite understand why celebrities had to hide their relationships and why going public could cost them fans, that was just how the entertainment industry worked.

"It's my boyfriend; why should I care?" Mai seemed unconcerned.

Badr smiled. "Let's keep it private for now. Don't worry about me."

"Hehe, it's not like I was particularly worried," Mai said with a playful smile.

"Is that what a girlfriend should say?" Badr grinned.

"Neglecting my boyfriend for work, I'm well aware that I'm not the best girlfriend," Mai confessed, making Badr's lips curve into a smile.

Mai Sakurajima really is the best girlfriend in the world...

...

Standing on the bustling street corner, Badr's emotions surged, and he blurted out:

"Mai, I like you."

Mai Sakurajima was slightly surprised but managed to keep her composure. "Alright, alright, I get it."

Her tone was a bit casual...

But from the way her gaze darted around, it was clear she was feeling a bit shy...

How cute.

Badr had to admit, Mai Sakurajima looked absolutely adorable in that moment.

Dressed in casual clothes, Mai had a gentle smile on her face. She was wearing a form-fitting white dress, the kind that accentuated her figure.

Since the weather was a bit chilly, the material was a knitted fabric. She paired it with queenly boots, and the space between the hem of her skirt and the top of her boots was covered in black stockings.
