I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

Hanakaiin Fugui's casual words silenced the blonde girl again.

Keep the old capital city?

Isn't this a pure royalist request? And you're saying you're not from the old Demon King faction?!

However, based on the previous conversation, Liara decided to ask in detail first.

"But if we want to preserve the old capital, the other members of the Demon King's faction might be a little..."

"It shouldn't be that exaggerated. At least in the human world, there are still many cases of preserving old capitals."

Huakaiyuan Fogui thought about it.

Take Kyoto for example. Although it is unpleasant that Tokyo is currently internationally recognized as the capital of Japan, no Tokyo village dares to propose to demolish the old capital Kyoto.

"But the main reason is that the old Demon King's castle is a legacy left by the previous Demon King, Wilbert. It should have been inherited by Mio, but it has been occupied by Ramsus. Now that Ramsus is dead, it naturally returns to Mio's name, so I want to keep it..."

"Wait, wait a minute, Fogui-kun, what did you just say?!"

The tea in Liara's hand shook violently, as if she had heard something extremely shocking.

Hanakaiin Fogui said, "I said that the old capital city now belongs to Mio."

"No, no, sister, I meant the previous sentence!"

"Ramthus is dead, what's wrong?"

"How, how did he die?"

"I killed him."

Huakaiyuan Fogui thought for a moment and added another sentence.

"Like I said, because he also tried to capture Mio, and also embezzled the property that Wilbert left for Mio."

"..."

hiss--

call--

After taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Liara coughed lightly but said nothing.

After all, this news is really shocking. To be precise, since the death of the previous Demon King Wilbert, the old Demon King faction has lost its original dominant position in the North, while the current Demon King faction has continued to grow until its current peak.

But even so, the current Demon King faction still cannot wipe out the old Demon King faction in one fell swoop. The reason is that the previous Demon King had a younger brother named Ramsas. Although he is far inferior to his brother Wilbert in strength, it is said that he is also not to be underestimated.

At least in a one-on-one duel, not even Leohart is sure of winning. Add in the old cadres of the old Demon King faction, and if an all-out war really breaks out, the chances of both sides winning would conservatively be around six to four.

In short, it is definitely not to the point of complete crushing.

And now you tell her that Ramsas has been killed?

"Hmm... Although this may be a bit offensive, what is the relationship between Fogui-kun and Miss Mio?"

"She is my sister-in-law."

Huakaiyuan Fogui is still concise and to the point, but it omits some key parts.

It is true that Mio is his sister-in-law, but she is just the kind of sister-in-law who is called "brother-in-law, brother-in-law" during the day, and becomes "brother-in-law~? Brother-in-law~?" at night.

Just great.

"Uh, aunt...son?"

Liara was even more confused. She had never heard that the previous Demon King Wilbert had an older daughter?

It feels like it's getting more and more chaotic.

"Well, forget it. This is not important. Anyway, Lord Buddha wants to preserve the old Demon King's royal city, right?"

Shaking her head to clear her mind of unnecessary thoughts, Liara smiled gently and charmingly again.

"I think there shouldn't be any problem with this. After all, Fo Guijun has eliminated a major force from the old Demon King's faction for us. This has greatly increased the chances of the current Demon King's faction winning in the upcoming decisive battle. Even though Fo Guijun isn't a member of our current Demon King's faction, or even a demon, it's only right that we return the favor."

"I'll talk to Leo about this later, so just leave it to me, sister~!"

Liara changed the subject at this point.

"However, Leo-chan has been very busy during the day these past two days, so I probably won't be able to tell him about this until dinner time. So, Fogui-kun, could you please come over again tomorrow? I can give you a definite answer then."

"Tomorrow...that's fine too."

Chapter 291 Everyone Wants to Intercept

"Oh, I see."

The scene shifted back to the old capital, in the restaurant on the second floor of the former Northern Royal City. Irina, who had just finished lunch, sat at the table, holding her cheeks with her hands and speaking in a long voice.

They had already learned from Hua Kaiyuan Fogui, who had just returned from the current Demon King's capital, that the specific answer regarding the preservation of the old capital would have to wait until tomorrow.

How should I put it? It was unexpected, but also reasonable and acceptable.

After all, she basically stayed at the Gremory household during the summer vacation. Although she still retained the consciousness of having been a Holy Sword User of the Church when she first arrived in the Demon Realm, she instinctively regarded the surrounding environment as a dangerous area and was on guard 24 hours a day, which made her exhausted.

It wasn't until I woke up from a nap and found that nothing was wrong that I gradually got used to it.

So even if I told her I wanted to stay here for one night, Irina wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it.

It's nothing more than a change of place to live. When I was still a holy sword user in the church, I traveled all over the world every day, fighting all kinds of demons that had sneaked in from the demon world. I flew more times every year than those so-called upper-class elites. Even if I had a problem with being attached to my bed, I had cured it long ago.

"I didn't expect that I would have to spend the night in the North today~"

Rias also sighed softly, pursed her lips and frowned slightly as if she was a little worried.

Himejima Akeno, who was sitting on the other side of her, noticed this and asked with concern.

"What's wrong, Rias? You seem a little worried."

"Hmm... I wouldn't say I'm worried, I'm just a little bit concerned..."

Rias closed her eyes and massaged her brow in distress.

"We are all here now, but there is no one at Gremory Castle."

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

Hearing her daughter's concerns, Venelana smiled and comforted her.

"I know."

Rias nodded.

In fact, she also knew that nothing could possibly happen in the Gremory territory. Not to mention that the 72 high-ranking demon nobles were still united at least on the surface, the fact that her brother Sirzechs was elected as the current Lucifer Demon King meant that it was unlikely that anyone in the demon world would target the Gremory family.

Even the Phoenix family's engagement matter was because Sirzechs wanted to test his sister and future brother-in-law and did not intervene directly.

But this feeling of having no one guarding the house always makes people feel weird.

"Well~ This shows that our Rias has grown up and matured a bit."

Venelana clasped her hands together, smiled, and patted the side of her face.

"It seems like it won't be long before I can take over the responsibility from Mom and become the true head of the Gremory family. Then Mom can go and have a little free time~"

"Ugh...Mom!"

Rias's cheeks flushed red as she had never expected her mother to say that.

What do you mean she has grown up and matured? Besides, except for a few people like Sister Gurefia, all the others are friends of the same age. It would be too embarrassing to say that in front of everyone!

Besides, what the hell is this leisurely day? It sounds like my mom is so busy at home every day.

I already eat, sleep, and take care of the flowers every day. If I continue to be idle, how idle would I be?

Just as the red-haired girl was muttering to herself, Himejima Akeno on the other side stood up and clapped her hands.

"Okay, now that we've confirmed we're staying here tonight, it's almost time to start making preparations."

Since you have decided to stay, the so-called preparation work is not limited to cooking a meal. Naturally, you also have to prepare the guest room, make the bed and cover the quilt.

After all, Ramsas would never have expected that he would die today, and would be so kind as to prepare the rooms for them before he died.

As expected, Jester, who had returned to her maid outfit, took the initiative to volunteer.

"Don't worry, I'll wash the lunch dishes first and then prepare the rooms for you all..."

"It's okay. There's no need to bother Miss Jester with these matters."

Himejima Akeno said with a smile.

"We can each do our part in preparing the room. It would be too inappropriate to leave everything to Miss Zester alone."

"I will help decorate Miss Jester's room." Gurefia also said.

"Hehe~ Anyway, I don't need it."

Kuroka rubbed his wrist with his chin in triumph.

"I'll just stay in the same room with Huahua at night, meow. That means Huahua's room is my room, roo roo roo~"

"Wha… No!"

Rias, who was standing next to her, was about to speak out to stop him when she heard this, but before she could say anything, Akeno on the other side pulled her clothes under the table, blinked, and gave her a look that said, "It's okay, let her go for now."

……what?

Although she didn't understand what "friend" meant, Rias didn't continue talking out of trust.

This silence, which seemed to show weakness, made Heige even more proud. He began to meow and sing on the spot. The melody of the meow rose and fell as if he had just won a victory.

"Then I'll trouble Miss Heige to prepare a room for Fogui. I think this will be better for Miss Heige."

Himejima Akeno smiled and tilted her head slightly.

“You can decorate it any way you like.”

! !

The last sentence seemed to hit Heige's sore spot at once, and the cat-eared girl in kimono instantly pricked up her ears and flapped them twice.

Can I let her DIY as she wants? That’s great. I can just make a quilt, decorate it with all kinds of ambiguous lights, and give birth to kittens in it at night!

"Then what should I do?" Huakaiyuan Fogui asked.

"If you convert to Buddhism, of course you have to help wash the dishes~"

Akeno's smile grew even wider.

"Fogui didn't come to help with cooking this morning, right? So of course I have to wash the dishes after dinner, and clean the bathroom after washing the dishes. Is that okay?"

"……understood."

Well, first I have to wash the dishes, and then I have to clean the bathroom.

Heige on the side silently memorized the process in his mind.

First of all, it will take some time to wash the dishes for so many people, and it will also take some time for her to clean the room.

Then this is perfect. After she cleans the room as quickly as possible and goes directly to the bathroom, we can do it right in the bathroom!

Although it was indeed a bit early to take a shower in the afternoon, after all, this royal city had been built for who knows how many years. What if Ramsas was a sloppy guy who never used the bathtub or took a shower, and it fell into disrepair and leaked? That would be troublesome.

So you have to try it first~

What a perfect plan!

Heige Maomao thought proudly in her heart.

However, what she didn't know was that almost everyone at the table had the same idea as her.

Chapter 292: Jest's Sensitive Areas

Once everyone's tasks are determined, the next step is execution.

The scene switches to the kitchen on the first floor of the royal city.

Just like many star-rated hotels, no matter how magnificent the main entrance lobby is, once you get to the back kitchen area that customers can't see, it must be extremely simple...even dirty and messy.

However, as this was once the capital of the old Demon King's faction in the North, the kitchen here is certainly not dirty or messy, but it is quite simple.

A stove made of stone slabs, a large black iron pot, and a stove chamber filled with wood ash.

That's how they made their lunch today.
