I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

"It seems the other party cut off the call."

Sirzechs stood up from the sofa and walked in front of the screen.

"Well, although the process and the final result were a bit unexpected, to some extent, the purpose of this negotiation has been achieved. And since we've agreed to hold a ranked game, where do you plan to set up the battlefield?"

Although he was apparently asking this question to everyone, his eyes were always on the young man next to him.

"Let's go to the demon world, Phoenix family."

Huakaiyuan Buddhist refuge is concise and to the point.

"I prefer to kill by blocking the fountain; it's more convenient that way."

Chapter 45: Rias was also planted with a switch (funny)

After determining the time and low point of the battle, Sirzechs left.

After all, as the Demon King, apart from his busy official duties, the second most important thing is to ensure fairness as the manager of the demon world.

Serjeksto was in charge of his sister's marriage, but he was still unable to participate in the early tactical discussions and battles.

Then the scene changed, and only Rias, Hanakaiin Bokui and others were left in the old school building again, and the arrangement of the furniture in the living room was restored to its original state.

On the sofa on the right, the red-haired girl sitting next to Hanakaiin Fugui looked a little serious.

"Now that the negotiation results have been finalized, we should consider countermeasures."

"That, that..."

Asia, who was sitting on the other side of the boy, raised her hand cautiously and asked a question.

"Excuse me, are we preparing to go to war with the other side now?"

"Yes, although this result is not what we want to see, given the attitude shown by the other party, fighting has been inevitable from the beginning."

Rias nodded.

After all, the two sides had completely different goals from the very beginning. She wanted to resolve the issue as peacefully as possible. As long as both sides took a step back, the Phoenix family relaxed a little, and the Gremory family gave some appropriate compensation, the matter would be over.

But the Phoenix family was clearly very tough and had no intention of negotiating at all. The so-called negotiations were more like an opportunity to put pressure on the Gremory family.

In this case, the final option is to go to war. Hua Kaiyuan Fogui's words that seem to intensify the conflict are actually just helping to avoid the middle stage of the struggle.

"It doesn't matter. There's nothing to worry about."

Compared to Rias, who seemed a little worried, Hanakaiin Fukui seemed quite casual, lazily slumping on the sofa with his hands in his pockets.

"Anyway, it's nothing more than everyone meeting up and fighting. Whoever has the bigger fist wins~"

"Of course that's not the case..."

Rias couldn't help but frown. She felt both angry and amused when she saw this guy's indifferent look on his face, as if he was just going to do it if he was not convinced.

No matter what, the Phoenix family is one of the seventy-two noble families in the demon world, and is also an old-fashioned pure-blooded demon family, so its strength is undoubtedly strong.

The red-haired girl scratched her hair helplessly.

"The key issue lies in that ranking game..."

"Oh, I almost forgot to ask, what are the features of that game?"

Hanakaiin Fugui remembered that the last Yakitori before the video call was cut off seemed to have mentioned something about a ranking game, but he had already assumed that what the other party said was all garbage, so he simply blocked it all automatically.

"As for the ranking game..."

Rias paused for a moment, organizing her words.

"Ranking games are still essentially battles. They were designed by my brother's friend, Achuka Beelzebub, another demon king in the current demon world. They're used in conjunction with the Dependent System I mentioned earlier."

"In the ranking game, the 'King' leads fourteen followers, including the 'Queen', 'Priest', 'Knight', and 'Castle', to fight against the enemy faction. Currently, the only followers I have available to fight are Koneko, Akeno, and myself. In comparison, Raiser Phoenix already has all fourteen followers..."

"The enemy outnumbers us three to one. Very good, the advantage is on my side." Huakaiyuan Fogui said that he was itching to fight.

"Be a little more serious..."

Rias raised her hand and placed her fingertips on the boy's waist, intending to twist it, but after thinking it over she decided to just poke it gently instead.

"The problem is with my dependents. Buddha, you are not my dependent, not even a demon."

"Why, do you have to be a demon to participate?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui didn't understand.

"I'm not sure about that." Rias coughed lightly, "But as far as I know, this kind of game only exists in the Demon Realm. There's never been a precedent for allowing outsiders, even humans, to participate."

"That's okay."

It doesn't matter anymore that Huakaiyuan is a Buddhist.

"If that doesn't work out, I'll just wipe out the Phoenix family's territory. Even if the rules don't allow it, he won't be able to do anything about the rest."

"I'm talking about you..."

Rias held her forehead in her hand.

But it is just as the young man said, it is like people playing chess on stone blocks in the park. If you just point fingers at them, then maybe they are in a good mood or have to continue playing chess because of the situation and won't say much.

But if you go up and kick the chessboard with a powerful kick and then slap and spit at one of the players, then the game will not be able to continue today and the winner will have to have a Mortal Kombat first.

"Anyway, don't worry too much. Just leave it to me when the time comes."

As Huakaiyuan Fogui spoke, he reached behind the young lady and grasped her waist with a little force.

"I can take them all down single-handedly."

Noticing the former's actions, Rias couldn't help but blush slightly.

Really, she just said to leave it to you, but she is really thinking of a solution seriously. Now that we have established a relationship, we naturally have to face this kind of thing together... Hmm!

As if a switch was accidentally touched, the red-haired girl, who was only slightly blushing a second ago, suddenly trembled slightly and sat up straight.

Strange, strange, what's going on?

Perhaps it wasn't obvious from the perspective of others, but Rias knew her own body all too well. This feeling, like a faint electric current running through it, was distinctly...

"What's wrong Rias?"

Sensing through touch that the girl's waist movements were becoming more frequent, Hanakaiin Fukui asked curiously.

"without……"

Rias blushed and shook her head, trying her best to remain rational, and argued in a very low voice.

"Buddha Gui, your arm is making my waist a little uncomfortable, and Zhu Nai is watching."

Oh, I see.

Upon hearing this, Huakaiyuan Fogui immediately followed suit and pulled his arm away from the girl's back.

Without the physical contact from before, Rias felt that the subtle feeling that made her blush uncontrollably was instantly greatly alleviated.

She reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, then continued.

"Then the next thing is about our itinerary for returning to the Demon Realm. By then... well..."

At this point, there was a sudden hesitation in her voice. Rias had been in the human world for so many years that her way of thinking had become more inclined towards the human world. She almost subconsciously thought that when she returned to the Demon World, she would find a hotel to stay in first. But then she thought, not to mention whether there were such things as hotels in the Demon World, even if there were, they would be in the territories governed by the various Demon World nobles.

Especially since she is the successor to the Gremory family, she will almost certainly be noticed once she shows up. In addition, as the successor to the family, she does not live in her own home after returning to the Demon Realm, but instead goes to someone else's territory and secretly finds a place to live. This is a bit too strange.

In other words, there was no need to make an itinerary at all. After returning to the Demon Realm, their only place to stay was the Gremory House.

Well, to put it more bluntly, we have to fast forward to meeting the parents.

So what happens to my mother...

After thinking for a moment, Rias raised her head.

"Buddha Gui, Akeno, we need to prepare some souvenirs before returning to the Demon Realm. I'll leave this task to you."

Chapter 46 Akeno A goes up!

Due to Rias's request, after Sirzechs returned to the Demon Realm, Hanakaiin Fukui and Himejima Akeno also left the old school building.

The mysterious research department, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became empty.

In the living room, Rias was still sitting on the sofa, legs crossed and arms resting on the backrest. She lowered her head slightly and stared at her toes in a daze.

In fact, she was still a little hesitant when she told Fugui and Zhuno to prepare the souvenirs.

As a close friend over the years, Rias roughly understood what the former was thinking, especially when it came to emotional fluctuations. She didn't even need to ask in person; she could feel it with just a look, an expression, or even an interjection.

So, Akeno... probably really does like Fukui.

Even if she repeatedly tells herself that feelings are selfish, the fact that she overtakes her lover and steals his love away will not change.

It could be said that out of guilt towards her friend, coupled with what they talked about in the hotel room last night, Rias decided to take a step back and give the two of them a chance to talk things out, which could be considered a little compensation to Akeno.

However, even though I had prepared myself mentally, I still felt a little uncomfortable...

Recalling what she and Fugui did in the hotel room yesterday afternoon, and thinking about the fact that the opportunity she gave to Akeno might make her do exactly the same thing as she did yesterday, Rias couldn't help but bite her lip lightly.

Maybe they are already in the big bed in the hotel... Hmm!

The clear fantasy in her mind made the girl's body tremble suddenly, and the familiar feeling surged up again and spread quickly throughout her body like an electric current.

Wait, this feeling is...how can it be...

Although the specific principle is still unclear, Rias clearly remembers that this feeling only appeared after being touched by Hanakaiin Buddha, and it will slowly disappear as long as the physical contact is stopped.

But now the latter is not even here, let alone any physical contact. Could it be that just thinking about it...

Rias was in a very embarrassing situation at the moment. The strangeness of her body made her unable to calm down at all. As soon as she calmed down, she couldn't help but imagine the situation on Fugui and Akeno's side, and then her body would continue to become strange.

It goes on and on, and there's no way it can be stopped.

After enduring for a long time without any sign of relief, Rias used her hands to support herself and stood up from the sofa. She tried to maintain a calm tone as she looked at Asia beside her and the kitten from Tacheng who was still nibbling on snacks on the sofa opposite her.

"Sorry, Asia, Koneko, I'm a little tired, so I'm going to go upstairs and rest for a while. If you need anything, feel free to call me."

"Ah."

The white-haired girl nodded slightly to show that she understood.

Asia looked concerned, "Are you alright, Ms. Rias? If you don't mind, I can help with the treatment."

"No, it's okay. I'm just a little tired. Thank you, Asia."

Rias smiled and waved, then turned and left the living room, walked to the stairs, held the handrail and went up step by step.

……

At the same time, in the Student Street Supermarket near Kuoh Academy, Hanakaiin Bukki and Himejima Akeno, who were out buying souvenirs, were strolling between the rows of shelves.

However, although Rias entrusted me with the important task of buying souvenirs and would reimburse me later, the prerequisite for everything was to know what to buy.

After all, Hanakaiin Fugui has never been to the Demon Realm even once, and he doesn't know the specific customs and culture of the Demon Realm, so the final decision depends on what Akeno makes.

So for this purpose he even pushed a special cart, so that Akeno was in charge of selecting and he was in charge of carrying, which was perfect.

The only subtle point is that in the eyes of others, they look like a young newlywed couple.

But it doesn’t matter.

"Hey Akeno, do you want to buy some of this?"

As he walked, he stopped by a shelf and reached out to take a pack of cooking bags for puffer fish dishes.

His idea was very simple. Souvenirs were nothing more than buying some local specialties to take back. Most of these specialties were in the catering industry. Moreover, if they bought them today, it would take two days to bring them to the Demon Realm. It was definitely unrealistic to buy fresh ones.

In that case, not to mention that seafood must be eaten fresh, the fresher the better, even a fried pork chop would be inedible after two days.

Therefore, under many circumstances, buying a cooking pack becomes the best choice, and there are also a series of cooking packs such as eel rice, sea urchin rice, etc.

If Akeno agrees, Hanakaiin Fukui is ready to give her a set of all these cooking kits.

Then... there was no response for a long time.

Ok?

Feeling something was wrong, Huakaiyuan Fogui withdrew his gaze and looked forward, only to see that the girl with long straight black ponytail had come alone to the tableware shelf not far away, staring intently at a pile of cups.

Uh, it's a proper cup.

"...Why, Akeno, are you planning to buy this?"
