I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

Huakaiyuan Fogui lifted the quilt and sat up.

"Let me carry you back."

"It's okay, no need...ah!"

Rias tried to be stubborn, but Hanakaiin Fukui didn't want to hear that. He picked her up from the bed like a princess and walked straight to the door.

They opened the door at just the right moment, and a familiar figure came into view in the corridor outside.

It was Venelana who had just gotten up and was passing by the door.

As their eyes met, Hanakaiin Fukui stopped and Rias opened her eyes wide.

Only Venelana was slightly stunned, then covered her mouth with her hands, squinted her eyes and chuckled softly.

"Haha, young people are really energetic~"

Chapter 55: Fight all the way in!

Being caught early in the morning, the slightly awkward atmosphere continued until after breakfast.

In fact, to be precise, the only one who felt embarrassed was Rias, while Hanakaiin Fukui himself didn't care at all.

It's nothing more than my aunt discovering me doing that kind of thing. It can't even be called a discovery, it should be called "confirmation of the hypothesis."

Going to great lengths to conceal something that everyone knows is inherently stupid...

But since Rias insisted on doing this, he would not stop her. As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

After spending the morning, it was afternoon and Hanakaiin Fukui and others arrived at the main gate of the Gremory family castle.

Outside the sunny main gate of the castle, a carriage pulled by two hellish horses emitting faint blue flames was quietly parked on the side of the road. Ahead was a long straight road that passed through the territory and led directly to the forest outside.

Shinra Chunji was sitting in the driver's seat holding the reins. When she heard the sound coming from the castle gate behind her, she turned sideways.

"President, and everyone from the Gremory family, the car is ready, we can leave anytime."

"it is good."

Zhiqu Cangna nodded slightly, then turned to look at the red-haired girl beside him.

"Then let's go, Rias. It'll take quite a while to get to the Phoenix family's territory from here, so it's better to leave early."

"Uh...yeah, I know."

The decisive battle was imminent, but Rias seemed a little distracted. After hearing her friend's voice, she was stunned for a moment before reacting.

At the same time, a very familiar voice came from the castle door behind her.

"Ah wait wait ~ I'm going too!"

Eh?

As if something incredible had happened, Rias instantly came to her senses and looked behind her.

Her dear mother was dressed neatly in jewels, looking as if she was getting ready to attend a dinner. Her white dress outlined her figure, which was exactly the same as her daughter's, even a little fuller. She walked towards the door in small steps.

Rias opened her mouth in surprise, "Mom...are you going with me?"

"Hmm~"

Venelana, who had been sitting alone in the Gremory house for many years and never leaving the house, seemed to be in a particularly cheerful mood today. She not only dressed up nicely, but also put on some light makeup.

She raised her face slightly and hummed twice.

"Of course. Today is the day that will decide my daughter's lifelong event. As a mother, shouldn't I go with her? Besides, the Phoenix family also sent an invitation to our Gremory family."

"Really……"

Rias was still hesitant.

It's not that she is against going with her mother, but her mother has been reluctant to go out for many years, and today she suddenly asked to go with her.

How should I put it? It always feels a bit weird.

Is it an illusion?

"Then let's go together."

Huakaiyuan Fogui shrugged his shoulders, walked to the carriage and opened the door.

So after Venelana joined, the original team of seven people suddenly expanded to eight people.

Fortunately, the space inside the carriage is relatively spacious, so even if there are eight people together, it is still not crowded. In addition, Zhen Luo Chunji sits in the front driver's seat and is responsible for driving, which means there are still only seven people in the car.

Among them, Venelana, Rias, and Shichirō Sona sat in a row.

Himejima Akeno, Hanakaiin Bukyou, and Asia sat in another row.

Tacheng Koneko and Heige sat on the legs of Rias and Hanakaiin Fukui respectively, with the two sisters facing each other.

"Are you okay, Rias?"

As soon as the carriage started moving, Zhitou Sona, who was sitting next to the red-haired girl, asked in a low voice.

"……Eh?"

Rias was a little confused by this sudden concern.

"What are you doing? Why do you say that?"

"Why? It's because you look unwell..."

Seeing his friend in such a depressed state but still being stubborn, Zhi Qu Cangna couldn't help but frown.

"Actually, Rias, you don't have to feel too stressed. Even if something were to happen... I can just go back and plead with my sister. She'll definitely help. Plus, with the help of your brother and Beelzebub, who has a good relationship with your brother, it won't be that difficult to stop the Phoenix family."

"Stop, stop, stop~"

After hearing this, Hanakaiin Fukui couldn't bear it anymore. He silently let go of his hands that were stroking Heige's hair, and poked his palm with his index finger to make a stop gesture.

"First of all, please don't assume I'll lose. Putting aside the possibility, your concern is misplaced. Rias isn't acting like this for the reasons you think."

"……What's the meaning?"

Zhichu Cangna looked puzzled.

Huakaiyuan Fogui did not explain in detail, but just continued to look at a red-haired girl whose face looked like she wanted to say something but was hesitant, and then shrugged again.

"If I had to put it in a specific way, it's probably the reserved nature of a noble lady."

"what?"

Miss Sona was confused.

At this time, Himejima Akeno, who was sitting next to the boy, heard the words and stroked her face with one hand and joined the conversation.

"I remember the Hanakaiin family was also a noble family in the human world?"

"Ah...if you're talking about my sister and her group, that's true."

Huakaiyuan Fogui considered his wording for a moment, then added another sentence.

"But I don't count. I'm more rebellious."

"That's right, otherwise he wouldn't have done that kind of thing when he was little."

Himejima Akeno covered her mouth and chuckled.

As a child?

As if touched by the key words, Rias's bangs twitched slightly.

"What do you mean, so after all, Akeno, you and Fukui knew each other before?"

"Well... well, how should I put it~"

As if to keep the audience in suspense, Himejima Akeno glanced out the window and spoke in a long tone, trying to avoid the question.

Rias suddenly became anxious.

"So, tell me whether it is true or not!"

"Well, you could say that."

"What do you mean by that? Can you be a little more precise..."

Looking at a group of young people making noise in the carriage, Venelana, who was sitting at the edge, couldn't help but smile faintly.

……

The distance from the Gremory house to the Phoenix house is not too short. If you use the speed of modern human technology, it will probably take only an hour or so to get there.

But considering that Huakaiyuan Fugui and others were riding in a horse-drawn carriage, the journey took a full three hours.

From afternoon till evening.

At dusk, in front of the main gate of Phoenix's castle.

Dozens of carriages were lined up on both sides of the road in front of the castle gate. A rough glance gave a conservative estimate of fifty or more carriages. In other words, at least half of the seventy-two pillars had arrived.

Huakaiyuan Fogui and his friends belong to the later group.

After parking the carriage and arriving at the entrance, the Phoenix family's servant was standing by the main door, confirming the people entering one by one.

"Hmm~ The Gremory family, right? Wait a moment... Venelana-sama, Rias-sama, Kitten Tajo, and Akeno Himejima, please come in. No one else is allowed."

"what?"

The first half of the sentence sounded fine, but when she heard the second half, Rias's brows immediately furrowed.

"What's the meaning of this? Didn't you, the Phoenix family, challenge us to a duel? Why aren't you letting us in?"

"I'm terribly sorry, but this is the order from Third Master Lessar."

The servant bowed and greeted, his attitude seemed humble, but in fact it revealed arrogance everywhere.

"No one who is not on the invitation letter can pass through this door."

"you……!"

Rias tried to step forward to argue, but the boy behind her had already placed his hands on her shoulders and gently pulled her behind him.

“It doesn’t matter. Since you can’t go in through the door, I’ll just go in with the door.”

After saying that, Huakaiyuan Fogui took a step forward, stretched out his hands to the left and right, and pierced the double doors forged from the fine steel of the demon world with his ten fingers as easily as a hot knife cutting through butter.

With a gentle pull, it tears off like a piece of paper.

The young man stood up straight, holding two hundred-ton city gates in his hands. His dark brown eyes, which occasionally flashed with golden light, reflected the large group of armed demon guards in the castle. He slowly exhaled.

"It seems that there are still preliminary levels."

Chapter 56 Are you ready to be beaten? Roast Chicken

Located in the banquet hall inside the Phoenix family castle.

Echoing the carriages parked outside the main gate of the castle, the banquet hall was now filled with a scene of singing and dancing.

More than half of the seventy-two senior demons have arrived, and they are dressed in fine clothes and toasting each other in the banquet hall.

“Ahh~ Sirzechs-chan, you’re here too!”

In a corner of the banquet hall, accompanied by the lively voice of a girl, a delicate and slender figure with twin ponytails appeared in front of the young red-haired devil at almost flashing speed.

However, Sirzechs did not seem surprised and just smiled gently.

"Long time no see, Seraflor."

"Of course~ After all, the Sidi family was also invited."

The girl called Seraflor stuck out her tongue playfully, put one hand on her hip and leaned forward slightly, making a cute scissors hand gesture in front of her face.

There was no doubt that all those invited to the banquet today were nobles from the demon world. However, the girl with twin ponytails in front of him looked more like a magical girl than a demon, especially the fairy wand in her hand, which looked like it was bought for 15.9 yuan from the children's toy section of a supermarket.

After posing, Seraflor put away her posture and put her hands and the fairy wand in her hands behind her back like a girl.

"Well~ Actually, it's supposed to be Sona-chan who comes today, but it looks like Sona-chan hasn't returned to the demon world yet, so I have to represent the Sidi family."

"Regarding your sister..."

Sirzechs thought about it for a moment.

"I think he may have returned to the Demon Realm yesterday with Rias and the others. He's probably staying at our Gremory house."
