I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

"Come to think of it, I've never asked before, how did Fukui-kun know Rias?"

How did you meet?

This is not a difficult question to answer. Huakaiyuan Fogui shrugged after thinking about it for a while.

"Well, there's nothing particularly worth talking about. It's even a bit cliché. It's like two people were targeting the same target during an operation. After a little friction, they tried to get in touch. They found that they had a good impression of each other, and then they became friends."

"Is that so? That's great, isn't it? It's not cliché at all. It's just like the lucky first encounter between the hero and heroine in a TV drama."

Venelana covered her mouth and chuckled softly, and the way her eyes narrowed when she smiled made Huakaiyuan Fogui stunned for a moment.

Although it's normal for mother and daughter to look alike, it has to be said that apart from her hair color, which she probably inherited from her father, the rest of Rias's body is an almost exact copy of Venelana's.

If I have to say what the difference is, it's probably that Rias's daily look is more heroic, while Venelana tends to be more of a gentle wife.

When the maturity and gentleness of a wife and the youthful beauty of a young girl appear in one person at the same time, it's hard not to be moved.

"But, although Rias always seems mature and strong, that's just an appearance. She's actually very delicate and sensitive inside."

As Venelana spoke softly, she swayed her body slightly back and forth, unconsciously moving a little closer to the young man beside her. A faint fragrance of hair wafted in the air.

"After all, ever since her father passed away early, and that kid Sirzechs became the Demon King and inherited the Lucifer family name, nominally, only Rias and I are left in the Gremory family... No, to be more precise, it's just Rias."

"one person?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui hesitated for a moment, as if he remembered something.

"At the banquet earlier, I remember Sairaorg calling my aunt..."

"Well, I'm the daughter of the Baal family. I'm half-sister to Sairaorg's father."

Venelana smiled and raised her index finger, effortlessly condensing a magic missile filled with crimson destructive magic at her fingertips.

"This destructive magic power is proof of the bloodline of the Baal family, and it is also the reason why the Baal family ranks first among the seventy-two superior demons."

Well……

Huakaiyuan Fogui stared at the crimson magic missile. He could feel the abundant destructive power from it.

"So I can more or less guess why the Phoenix family suddenly forced the marriage."

As Venelana spoke, she withdrew the magic power gathered at her fingertips, causing the magic missile filled with destructive power to instantly dissipate into the air.

"Like I said before, because technically only Rias is left in the Gremory family now, that girl has been very hardworking since she was young. Of course, Rias herself is also very talented. She was able to master the power of destruction when she was in her teens."

"So the Phoenix family must finalize the engagement before Rias becomes strong enough. This way, they can not only obtain Rias's destructive magic power, but also take advantage of the Baal family's great ship..."

"The Baal family?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui was puzzled.

He didn't understand why the matter turned to the Baal family again. Logically speaking, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. If you must say it, Venelana is also a member of the Gremory family, and Rias has completely integrated the bloodline of the previous head of the Gremory family. If you must say it, it should be said that she is climbing up the Gremory family's... uh, small fishing boat?

I don't mean to belittle them, but as mentioned before, the Phoenix family ranks almost twenty places higher than the Gremory family among the seventy-two pillars, so there is no question of climbing up the ladder.

"Well, how do I explain this?" Venelana nodded and thought for a moment. "To give another example, the mother of Sairaorg, whom we met at the banquet today, is from the Wabra family, ranked 60th among the 72 Pillars."

“…Oh, I see.”

Huakaiyuan Fogui was very smart. After hearing this, he thought about it for a while and immediately understood the meaning.

After all, although the Baal family ranks first among the seventy-two pillars and does have an overwhelming advantage over other families, it still cannot fight against the entire demon world on its own, so marriage becomes a necessary means.

Marry your own daughters to other superior demon families, and then marry the daughters of other superior demon families to your own family, thus completing the exchange of interests and forming a huge network of relationships.

In particular, the political system of the Demon Realm is somewhat similar to the cabinets of Japan and the United Kingdom. Although the Demon King has great power, the voice of the parliament cannot be completely ignored. Moreover, Sirzechs is a typical moderate. Coupled with such a huge network of relationships, the seventy-two pillars almost rise and fall together.

In this way, as long as the Baal family does not do anything too abstract, even if the mistakes they make are too serious, Sirzechs must think carefully before taking action to avoid swinging the knife at his own people.

Obviously, the same is true for Venelana. She was also married from the Baal family to the Gremory family as a tool for marriage.

"Now you understand why I said Rias is lucky."

Venelana chuckled softly.

Then she paused and made a very bold move.

As if sleepiness suddenly came over her, Venelana shook her body and then leaned forward, gently resting her head on the boy's shoulder, and her voice became increasingly soft and intermittent.

"So... I'm actually quite envious of Rias..."

After that, only the barely audible whispering was left.

Huakaiyuan Buddhist Temple:?

Looking down, what caught my eye was the beautiful woman's peaceful sleeping face, no different from that of a young girl in her twenties, and her slightly parted cherry-pink lips, as if inviting something intentionally or unintentionally.

The young man thought for a moment, and while the cat beside his pillow was looking at him with a "WTF" expression, he picked up the beautiful woman next to him, climbed onto the bed and closed the curtains.

Chapter 65: My Wife is Wearing a Turtleneck Today (Chapter )

No one knows about the sweet dream that night.

When Huakaiyuan Fogui woke up again, it was already the next morning.

The bright sunlight shone dimly into the bedroom through the curtains, and the young man on the bed opened his eyes drowsily.

Long black hair, a white back, and... familiar cat ears.

"Heige?"

"Um……"

As if a radar had received a signal, the cat's ears, which had been pointing straight forward, suddenly stood up and tilted slightly backwards when they heard the sound.

Then the quilt was pushed open, and a cat-eared girl with an unhappy look on her face turned over.

"Yes, it's sister, not aunt."

"aunt?"

It took only two seconds for the brain to restart and buffer, and Huakaiyuan Fogui's eyes became clear again, and he opened his eyes slightly.

"Ah, speaking of which, where's my aunt?"

“…I went back a long time ago!”

Heige curled his lips.

I woke up and was still thinking about my aunt, my aunt!

"Don't you see what time it is now? If you don't go back, are you planning to switch roles and reenact the plot from yesterday morning?"

Hmm~That’s true.

Hanakaiin Fukui fell into a brief contemplation. Yesterday morning, he was caught by Venelana at the door holding Rias. If Rias had caught him at the door holding Venelana this morning... Forget it, forget it, stop.

"About when did you return?"

"Well, probably around five in the morning."

When mentioning what happened last night, Heige's blood pressure suddenly rose. He grabbed the boy's head with his backhand and slammed him into his chest.

"So Huahua, you're really good. You can actually do something like that, huh?"

"Layouhummoanfa (What else can I do?)..."

Sniffing the aroma of steamed buns, Huakaiyuan Fogui's mouth was full of murmurs.

In the situation yesterday, it was not possible for him to turn into a gentleman and wrap Venelana up tightly and throw her back to her room. That was not his style.

As a book says, the freedom of the strong should be limited by the freedom of the weak.

Huakaiyuan Fugui's moral standards are limited to preventing him from doing anything illegal or bullying men or women.

As for the rest, he would rather go with the flow and accept everything.

"Yeah, yeah, there's nothing you can do... Haah~"

Heige kept complaining with a squint, and couldn't help yawning as he spoke.

These two people made her unable to sleep well last night. She originally wanted to take advantage of the holiday at the Children's Palace to go to bed early and get up early to beautify her skin, but the noise was so loud that it actually aroused her interest.

And because Venelana was lying next to her, she couldn't even change back to her original appearance to cast a magic on herself to clear her credit. After all, in terms of strength, Venelana was much stronger than Rias. There was no way to guarantee that she would not be awakened by the magic fluctuations when she undid her transformation. She could only hold it in until dawn and wait for the former to leave before she was able to undid her transformation and cast a purification spell on herself.

In the end, she basically didn't sleep the whole night and is now so sleepy... Damn it.

"I don't care. You have to compensate me after you go back."

Heige lowered his voice and hummed angrily.

"Last night when that little red-haired girl came, she also said that she would go back today. When we get home, I want you to hold me wherever you go."

No matter where we go, we'll hold each other... This sounds sweet at first.

But based on Hanakaiin Fukui's understanding of her, Heige naturally didn't want something so bland. She probably wanted to play... well, how should I describe it.

Anyway, it’s Roukai.

"Didn't you say your stomach was sore yesterday?" The boy was speechless.

"well enough."

Heige pouted stubbornly.

"Don't underestimate Nekomata's health. He's almost fully recovered. He's fine."

"After recovering almost completely, are you going to continue to torture me?"

"What's the big deal? I can just lie at home all day tomorrow. I don't have to go to school anyway~"

The cat-eared girl argued confidently.

……

Time flies and it's after breakfast. The camera turns to the orbital terrace at the top of the Gremory castle.

The train responsible for crossing the two worlds has started. On the platform next to the train, Hanakaiin Fugui and others have packed their luggage and are ready to wait for the train. Also with them is Venilana who came to see them off.

The seasons in the human world and the demon world are basically synchronized. When the human world enters early summer, the temperature in the demon world basically also becomes hotter.

However, even in this sunny weather with an average temperature of over 27 degrees Celsius, Venelana suddenly changed into a long-sleeved, high-necked dress for some reason.

"Then you guys go ahead, Rias. I remember that after you arrive in the Human World, you'll have to go through customs in the Demon Special Zone to get to Tokyo, right? Be careful on the way..."

It is said that a mother worries about her son even when he is far away. In fact, the situation is similar when it comes to her daughter going on a long journey.

Venelana had been talking to Rias on the platform for almost five minutes.

"Yeah, I know, Mom. Besides, with Buddha here, there won't be any problems."

Rias kept agreeing.

Although he still had a smile on his face and showed no impatience, there was inevitably a hint of helplessness in his smile.

"And compared to this, Mom, aren't you really hot wearing this today? Such a high collar..."

The red-haired girl pointed at the tall collar on her mother's neck that fit her fair neck perfectly, and reached out to help pull the collar down and fold it up.

After all, it's almost mid-May. Wearing a turtleneck in this season is like hanging a scarf around your neck... Even if it's a thin silk scarf, it's still very hot!

But before her fingertips touched her collar, Venelana took a half step back and waved her hand slightly embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Mom isn't that afraid of the heat. I figured since you've finally come back, Rias, I'd dress a little more formally when I send you off. I'll go back and change after you leave."

"Be more formal... There's no need for that. It's not like I won't be coming back."

Rias, who was confused, couldn't help but feel a little amused when she heard this.

"We'll be back in two months when summer vacation starts."

"That's right."

Venelana smiled slightly, then turned to the boy who was holding a cat in his arms.

"By then, Fukui-kun will come back with Rias and the others during summer vacation."

"I...should be fine."

Hanakaiin Fukui thought about it and realized that his only source of commissions now was basically Rias. If Rias wanted to go back to the Demon Realm, he would have nothing else to do.

"Well, it's a deal then."

Venelana tilted her head, and the smile on her gentle face grew even brighter.

The delicate hands placed in front of her body couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen.
