Then his expression turned serious for a moment, staring deeply into Naruto's eyes.
The blond didn't flinch, staring back without hesitation.
"...I like your eyes. Care to give me your name, through your own consent? Much better to hear someone's name from their own mouth rather than from someone else's." Sairaorg eventually asked with an excited smirk.
"...Uzumaki Naruto, remember it." Naruto said with a grin of his own.
"Don't worry Uzumaki Naruto...even if you didn't tell me to, I would have." the muscular devil remarked with confidence, before turning to Rias.
"Rias...you've found someone incredibly interesting. Hold on to him." Sairaorg stated with conviction.
"...Don't need to tell me twice." Rias muttered in reply, before turning away from him resolutely.
The heir of the Bael clan grinned, then turned away, intent on finding his Peerage.
As the group watched the devil walk away, Sona turned to Naruto with a stern look.
But before she could say anything, the blond cut her off.
"Hey, I understand that coming here wasn't a smart idea by any means...but I have to speak to the Maou Lucifer. Mio also has to speak to him. I understand that you're trying to look after us, but let us make our decisions. We'll deal with other problems when we have to." Naruto chastised while putting his hand on her shoulder.
Sona's expression didn't change, she only concentrated on his eyes.
She saw nothing but determination.
She sighed, he could be so...
"...Fine. Do what you will." the high-class devil relented.
Rias gave Sona a comforting smile, she knew full well that her close friend meant well.
But there was no convincing Naruto when he was like this.
Mio-chan was seemingly getting that trait from Naruto as well...
Sona turned to Naruto one last time, with one last warning.
"Uzumaki-san...please try to avoid causing trouble. It would be very much appreciated if you could do that." Sona remarked dryly.
Naruto shrugged helplessly.
Trouble found him, not the other way around.
With that, she gave Mio and Rias respectful nods, before leaving to find her Peerage as well.
Rias finally turned back to the two that she left to find in the first place and gave them both deadpanned looks.
"...This time, you're following me to onii-sama. I don't want you two to cause another scene." the Gremory heiress said with a wry smile making it's way to her lips.
Neither Naruto or Mio could really refute her, so they did the next best thing.
""...Sorry.""
Rias sighed, at least she managed to grab the two before anything truly disastrous could happen...
She glanced at Naruto in particular, at least he didn't do anything too-
Her eyes bulged when she realized something.
Something that normally wasn't a big deal, but in these circumstances...was a very big deal.
Naruto's shirt was unbuttoned, showing off his black t-shirt underneath.
It was one thing for a well-established devil to do it, it was one thing for a random stranger to do it, it was one thing when the party was a happy occasion in the minds of most devils...
It was another thing entirely when this celebration was meant to show that an 'arrangement' that most of devil society wanted was getting canceled.
When the person responsible for canceling the marriage was walking around in their high-class party.
When that person wasn't even a devil.
In short, Naruto's minor breach in protocol could very well generate a lot of bad feelings.
So this was why Rias was scrambling around Naruto and pulling him to the safety of the Maou's personal box, which was overlooking the entire party.
"Hey hey! What the hell!? What are you doing, Rias!?" Naruto cried out in shock, as he was blatantly dragged away from the party.
"Shh! Be quiet! Your shirt! Look at your shirt!" Rias whispered harshly while she dragged the blond away.
Mio was jogging behind the two, confused at her fellow red-head's actions.
So why...?
Mio noticed it.
"...Damn it Naruto." Mio mumbled quietly.
The shinobi gave her an apologetic look.
Then he frowned.
Damn it...their roles were reversed.
So Mio and Rias did their best to hide Naruto's unbuttoned shirt by congregating by his side and forming what amounted to a small huddle.
Although no one actually said anything, some devils began to seethe at the blond, mostly due to their own misconceptions of what they were seeing.
Two red-heads walking closely together, practically mashing their bodies to a single guy?
