I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

"That should be enough."

Pulling the rope, the curtains of the bed were raised to a 45-degree angle on both sides. Hanakaiin Fukui sat cross-legged in the middle, with Rias sitting on his lap, blushing and not daring to raise her head.

he repeated.

"In this case, the engagement should be considered invalid."

"..."

After a brief silence, Gurefia, who had maintained a poker face since they met, finally sighed helplessly.

"It's true that the engagement between the Gremory and Phoenix families can no longer be carried out normally, but things are not that simple. Whether the engagement is cancelled cannot be unilaterally decided by Miss Rias having sex with you."

"Hanakaiin Fukui, your relationship with Lady Rias is now a done deal. I will report this to Sir Zex and the Phoenix Family upon my return. As for how this will be handled, it will depend on the Phoenix Family's attitude."

"No problem, I'll wait."

Huakaiyuan Fogui's expression remained unchanged, and there was no fear in his face.

He raised his index finger.

"I have only one request. If you want to negotiate, then you should adopt a proper negotiating attitude. Of course, if you want to be direct and forceful, I don't mind."

"But if you do something sinister and do two things behind the scenes, don't blame me for going to the Demon Realm myself and making sure one of the seventy-two pillars is gone."

"..."

Despite speaking in extremely domineering words, there was no aura emanating from the young man, as if he was simply stating an established fact.

Gurefia hesitated for a moment, then bowed gracefully.

"I understand. I will also inform the Phoenix family about this matter."

Then she looked back at the red-haired girl who was curled up in Hanakaiin Fukui's arms with her head buried, completely turning into an ostrich.

"Goodbye, Miss Rias. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Gurefia did not move back and forth in the magic circle like she did last time. She turned and walked to the door of the room, pressed the door handle and opened the door, then walked out of the room without any hesitation.

Outside the door, Himejima Akeno leaned against the wall with her arms folded across her chest, her head lowered and the hair falling on her forehead blurred the expression on her face.

The two passed each other without saying a word.

Chapter 37: I’m going to have a harem! I’m going to have a harem!

In the room, Rias was still lying quietly in Hanakaiin Fukui's arms.

The silver-haired maid had left, and she was finally able to free herself from her ostrich state. She raised her head and looked upwards, the boy's face reflected in her pale green eyes.

"Fool……"

Rias suddenly cursed softly.

It's not really a blame, it feels more like a girlfriend flirting and acting coquettishly.

She sighed softly, pretending to be helpless.

"I'm done for now~"

"why?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui raised his eyebrows in confusion.

You have to know that from being dragged to Student Street to entering the hotel and booking a room to talking about doing it, Rias took the initiative all the way up to this point. Logically speaking, the current result is exactly what she expected.

Why did you suddenly change the subject and say that you were doomed?

"Why else?"

Rias pursed her lips and let out a breath, rolling her eyes which were still watery.

"We did that right in front of Sister Gurefia... and now she's gone back to report it to me. If word gets back to our family... Fogui, put yourself in his shoes. If you were the brother and your sister did something like that, what would you think?"

"Uh~"

Huakaiyuan Fogui thought about it seriously.

"Putting aside the engagement, I will kill that xbzz overnight."

"Why are you putting aside the engagement?"

"Because if there is an engagement, I will kill the brat who made the engagement as well."

"...?"

As if deeply shocked by this sister-con's words, Rias sat up straight despite her fatigue and looked at the boy who was so close to her with an incredulous look.

"Buddha Gui, are you saying..."

"My sister is only thirteen."

Huakaiyuan Fogui said with a squint, then raised his hand to indicate a height of about one meter three to one meter four from the ground.

"She's only this tall now."

Hmm? Thirteen?

Rias was slightly stunned, and thought that at this age, he had just graduated from elementary school and was entering junior high school, so it would be fine.

But the next second she heard Huakaiyuan Fogui add another sentence.

"But it would be the same even if she turned eighteen."

???

Rias instantly turned into a cat-head question mark again, so she is still a sister complex, right?

After a brief silence, the red-haired girl spoke again in a low voice.

"So... we're confirmed now, right?"

"Ok?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui raised his voice and then turned downward and said "hmm".

"Of course, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"I have no problem, but Akeno..."

Rias hesitated and stammered.

"Although I don't know why, but Akeno probably does like you. You should know this, right, Fogui?"

"Ok, I know."

Huakaiyuan Fogui responded.

He is not a wooden man. He could clearly feel it when Akeno and Rias had an argument in the old school building last time. After all, if that is not considered a good impression, then what else can it be considered?

"How should I put it... maybe it's just my imagination."

Rias shook her head.

"I've always felt like Akeno seems to have known you from the past. After all, if you think about it carefully, you two don't interact much in school. Even when we were on the mission at the beginning, it was always you and me, and Koneko and Akeno were in a pair... What do you think, Fogui?"

"Probably not?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui was also a little hesitant.

Logically speaking, his memory is not bad. He will basically not forget anyone he knows and has been with for a period of time. What's more, Zhu Nai is such a "broad-minded" girl. How could she forget something so easily?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Okay, if you can't think of it, forget it."

Seeing the boy's face becoming increasingly confused, Rias gently tried to comfort him.

After confirming the relationship, even the tone of her voice seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, and her words revealed tenderness and consideration.

But then she changed the subject.

"That's not what I wanted to ask anyway."

"Huh? What is that?"

"What I want to ask is..."

Rias paused, shifting her gaze slightly and lowering her voice.

"If Akeno doesn't give up and still wants to pursue you, will you agree?"

"..."

Is it appropriate to ask such an unsettling and life-threatening question right after establishing a relationship?

Most people might think so, but Hanakaiin Fukui gave the answer after only thinking for a second.

"Probably, yes."

"what!?"

Now it was Rias's turn to get restless.

What does "probably" mean? Shouldn't you just answer firmly and directly, "I'll refuse"?!

"How should I put this..."

Huakaiyuan Fogui recalled.

"I once read a book that had a passage that made a lot of sense. Although I've almost forgotten the exact words, it went something like this: 'If you reject a girl, you're not only rejecting a wedding that should have been yours, you're also rejecting that girl's entire life.'"

"But what if you've already accepted another girl's entire life before this?" Rias frowned.

She was actually a little angry at this moment. This was a common sense issue that even a devil should know.

That is, love itself is selfish. Saying in front of your girlfriend that you will accept the pursuit of another woman is something that even the most good-tempered person cannot tolerate.

"That brings us to another issue."

The flowers bloomed in the courtyard and the Buddha looked sideways.

"Life's choices are like encountering a fork in the road while climbing a mountain. There are always some choices that are objectively correct, but when you actually make them, you will definitely regret it, just like your engagement, Rias."

"If you choose to accept that marriage proposal, then the benefits will naturally outweigh the disadvantages. The demon world will prosper, your family's status will be consolidated, and everyone will get what they want. Everyone will be very happy and happy to see this scene..."

"Except yourself, Rias."

"But this is something completely different from Akeno's situation!"

Rias couldn't help but interrupt.

Huakaiyuan Fogui shook his head again.

"It's the same thing actually. Or to put it the other way around, what would happen if I rejected Akeno?"

“That would be…”

Rias opened her mouth, then froze.

Yes, if Fugui rejected Zhu Nai, with Zhu Nai's intelligence, she would eventually realize that it was her who got there first that led to all this, especially in something as selfish as love.

By then, it would not be impossible for the sisters to break up and turn against each other.

If that really happened, Rias would lose a good friend she had known for many years, and Akeno would not only lose her happiness but also her friendship, and the same would be true for Fukui.

In this game, who is the final winner?

The answer is that no one benefits, all three people lose.

"And actually, if I have to say it, it's not that selfish."

Huakaiyuan Fogui's tone suddenly changed to a lighter one.

"According to my analysis, jealousy is essentially caused by giving something that should belong to one person to another. It can't even be considered from the perspective of unequal distribution rather than scarcity. Rather, it should be a combination of both."

"……so what?"

Rias was a little confused by this series of ancient Chinese words and subconsciously asked.

"So isn't it okay as long as we give enough?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui shrugged.

"To be more specific, as long as I work a little harder, everything will be fine."

"Huh? What does this have to do with whether you work hard or not?"
