I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

"I knew it. Sure enough, it's for this reason again. After all, Huahua, you always tend to be soft-hearted in matters like this."

"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, I just don't want to regret it."

Huakaiyuan Fogui shook his head.

"Just like when you, Kuroka, were being hunted by those demons, if I hadn't done anything, you would have been captured. While I wouldn't have suffered any real loss, I might have regretted it later, thinking, 'If I had saved her, things might have been different.'"

"So since I know I'll definitely regret it later if I don't do anything, I might as well choose another path... But so far, the facts have proven that I was right, just like where we are now."

Having said this, the young man lowered his head, and his eyes met in mid-air with the cat-eared girl who just raised her head and opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something.

When talking about the beginning of their acquaintance, Heige's thoughts seemed to go back to that very beginning. His golden eyes, which were already filled with watery color, were inadvertently coated with a layer of tender love that could not be concealed.

“Well, we did…”

She prostrated herself on Huakaiyuan Fogui's chest, drawing circles with her index finger.

"So Huahua, you're going to fight for someone else again this time?"

"I guess so……"

Hua Kaiyuan Fogui's tone didn't matter.

Anyway, he had made up his mind the moment he kissed Rias in front of Grayfia. It was nothing more than a trip to the Demon Realm. Who would be afraid of whom?

"Well, in that case—"

As if he had thought of something interesting, Heige straightened up slightly and smiled slyly.

"Then I'll go with you then."

"……what?"

Now Huakaiyuan Fogui was stunned.

Although this matter is essentially a conflict between the Gremory family and the Phoenix family, if you want to resolve it in the end, you will probably have to go to the Demon Realm.

But even if they want to go to the Demon Realm, he will definitely go with Rias and the others. As for taking Kuroka with him...it's not absolutely impossible, but won't Shirone be there too?

"There's no need for that. At most, it's just a trip to the Demon Realm. I'll be back in a few days..."

Heige pouted in dissatisfaction: "So Huahua's intention is to leave my sister, a cat, at home for several days without paying any attention to her?"

"..."

Why did the topic suddenly change to torture again? Is this a common tactic used by women in love all over the world?

The flowers bloomed in the courtyard and the Buddha returned to the silent thinking.

He was clearly discussing the matter rationally, but then he turned around and started to torture me about the attitude issue.

Hiss~ I seem to understand a little bit what that saying “Don’t try to reason with a woman” means that I often saw before.

Since objective theory cannot be used to explain it, we can only proceed from a practical perspective.

"Then if Shirone is there, what are you going to do, Heige?"

"Hmm~ well..."

Heige pointed his index finger at the corner of his mouth and pretended to think seriously, then made a scissors hand gesture in front of his eyes and winked.

"As long as I don't get dragged into a fight, I still have my own way, meow~!"

Chapter 40 Your sister was pouting!

The night in the human world is also the night in the devil's world.

While Hanakaiin Fukui was still dealing with the credit issue of a cat girl at home, in the Demon Realm, in the territory of the Gremory family.

——

With a slight tremor in the ground, the main gate of the castle slowly opened.

A red carpet stretched out from the main entrance all the way inside. Thirty-six thick Roman columns stood firmly on both sides of the hall. Bright lights shone down from the huge golden glass lamp at the highest point of the dome, rendering the entire hall magnificent.

On both sides of the red carpet were a group of maids in uniform, all lined up in a row, with their hands clasped in front of them, their heads bowed and their eyes closed as if in silence.

And standing in the center of the red carpet was a woman with short brown hair, a gentle face and a graceful figure.

This kind of scene looks like a welcome to the triumphant lord.

Soon, as the castle gate was completely opened, a tall and straight figure outside the gate gradually became clear.

He walked through the gate and stepped onto the red carpet. The black cloak on his shoulders, which represented the status of the Demon King, fell behind him and was lifted up by the wind, with the corners not touching the ground. His long red hair and handsome features were surprisingly similar to Rias.

He walked forward to the brown-haired woman in the middle of the red carpet, smiled and lowered his head slightly.

"I'm back, mother."

"Well~ Welcome home Sirzechs, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The brown-haired woman also smiled, stretched out her hands wrapped in dress gloves, and patted her son's waist without caring about the presence of other people.

“Sirzex, you’ve lost a bit of weight since the last time you came home. Is the Demon King’s work that busy? If you keep going like this, Mom will be heartbroken.”

"Haha, that's right."

Hearing his mother’s concerned tone, Sirzechs couldn’t help but smile.

"After all, it's still early in my term, and I need to handle a lot of things personally. But once I get through this period, it should be fine."

"Hmmmm, 'Just get through this time and it'll be fine' again?"

Venelana pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Sirzex, you said the same thing last year, and the year before last. It's been so many years, and you're still in the early stages of your tenure. If you keep going like this, your mother will be heartbroken. If things really don't work out, you can just quit being the Demon Lord~"

"That... shouldn't be that exaggerated."

Sirzechs smiled and shook his head.

He knew that his mother said these words out of concern for him, but he also understood that these words were just talk.

The Gremory family had been in a state of decline ever since their father's passing. Although there were only two members of this generation, he and his younger sister, Rias, were still young and in school, while he, as a demon lord, was busy making decisions on various matters every day. Therefore, it was almost his mother who was the only one who was trying to support the entire Gremory family over the years.

But precisely because of this, he needs to consolidate his position as the Demon King. Only in this way can the Gremory family still maintain its position among the seventy-two nobles.

After all, the seventy-two nobles are not a monolithic group. Who knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Gremory family now, with ambitions and desires surging in the undercurrent, just waiting for an opportunity to pounce on them like a pack of wild wolves and devour them completely.

This is something that Sirzechs, as the only male in the Gremory family, would never allow.

"Lady Venelana..."

The voice came from behind. I turned around and saw a maid. She lowered her head and bowed respectfully.

"Dinner is ready and can be served anytime."

"Oh, I see."

Venelana nodded in response, then turned to her son again.

“Sirzex, did you come back alone this time? Where are the others?”

The young demon king shook his head helplessly: "It can't be helped. Everyone else has things to do, so I came back alone."

"That's it..."

Venelana said "oh", with a hint of regret in her tone.

But this is not surprising. Ever since her husband passed away, she has been the only one left in the family. Her son is busy with work and her daughter is studying in the human world. It has been a long time since there have been more than two people sitting next to her at the same time.

So every time her son came back, she would treat him like her own family, even if he brought his relatives with him.

It's a pity that I finally came back this time but the others didn't come back with me.

But it’s okay, at least my son is back.

Thinking of this, Venelana perked up and smiled again: "Well, you finally came back, don't just stand here, let's go in and have dinner. You must be hungry after coming back so late, right?"

"Yeah, a little bit."

Jaxus also laughed.

Only in front of his mother, who has been with him since childhood, can he take off the mask and burden of the devil.

……

The perspective shifts to the restaurant.

Complementing the grand scale of the castle, the restaurant's layout is also quite luxurious and grand. A long table that can accommodate dozens of people dining at the same time runs through the front and back of the restaurant, and red candles are burning on the golden candlesticks.

Just by looking at this appearance, one can imagine how prosperous and bustling the Gremory family must have been during its heyday.

However, now there are only the lonely mother and son left at this long table that is more than ten meters long.

Venelana stirred the bowl with a silver spoon and scooped up a sip of the hot soup. "Come to think of it, summer is almost here in the human world now. Rias will be back for summer vacation in about two months."

"That's right..."

Sirzechs put down the silver spoon in his hand and turned to look at his mother beside him.

"Mother, do you remember the engagement between Rias and the Phoenix family?"

"……I remember."

After a brief silence, Venelana put away the faint smile on her lips.

"Although it was for the continuation of the Gremory family, it is undeniable that it was the only wrong decision your father made in his lifetime. I heard that Rias's fiancé, the third son of the Phoenix family, is a playboy and behaves very arrogantly. From my understanding of Rias as a mother, there is no way she would fall in love with him. If Rias really doesn't want to, then Sirzechs, you..."

"of course."

Sirzechs calmed his mother down by giving her a direct affirmative answer and nodded.

"To be honest, part of the reason I came back this time was to discuss this matter with you, mother. Before that, I had already sent Grayfia to the human world to test Rias's attitude. If Rias really doesn't like her, then as a brother, I will naturally not let my sister suffer any injustice."

"Well, that makes Mom feel relieved."

A smile returned to Venelana's gentle face.

But before she could continue speaking, a red teleportation magic circle light suddenly lit up at the door of the restaurant not far away.

In the teleportation magic circle, the figure of a silver-haired maid emerged.

"Lord Sirzechs, Lady Venelana."

She bowed respectfully and greeted the two people at the table.

"Grefia-chan?"

Venelana raised her eyebrows unexpectedly and sounded a little happy.

Although it was most likely a coincidence, since Gurefia came at this time, it meant that there would be one more person to have dinner with him.

Sirzechs's behavior was more predictable.

"How about it, Gurefia? Has my sister made a decision?"

“Lord Sirzechs, your sister… has indeed made a decision, but…”

The usually mature and capable silver-haired maid began to stammer for some reason.

only?

Although the specific reason was still unclear, seeing his subordinate's uncharacteristic behavior, the young demon king's keen intuition told him that something seemed to be unfolding beyond his expectations.

Chapter 41 My brother-in-law's CPU burned out

The absolutely perfect and elegant servant, Izayoi... oh no, it should be Grayfia who encountered the biggest problem in her Servant career today.

As the "Queen" among the followers of Sirzechs Lucifer, one of the four great demon lords in the demon world today, Gurefia's abilities have always been obvious to all. She can complete even the most difficult tasks meticulously and 100%.

Whether it is managing the family in order or leading other relatives to annihilate the enemy, it is no problem.

However, this perfect maid who is almost omnipotent in both literature and martial arts was stumped by a simple message delivery task today.

Especially as a perfect maid with a serious sense of shame and high professionalism, although she was able to restrain herself and remain calm to watch the whole process at that time, it does not mean that she can now recount the whole process with the same calm attitude.

But in the end, Gurefia still did it.

Also listening with gritted teeth was a certain unnamed young demon king.

Indeed, it was too explosive in every sense.

Although Gurefia had tried her best to make the wording as euphemistic as possible when she explained it, a simple translation in her mind would turn it into an extremely simple and crude sentence.
