"Okay, you can open your eyes now."
After hearing the reminder, Asia slowly opened her eyes and loosened her arms that were tightly hugging Ryan.
Then, she gently rubbed her blurry eyes and looked around.
"This…!?"
The scene that appeared before Asia's eyes made her open her eyes wide with a look of shock.
The first thing that caught Asia's eyes, and what surprised her the most, was the sky. It was not the clear blue as she remembered, but a lavender color that was filled with a sense of chaos.
"Is this the 'Underworld'?"
Asia once heard from the godfathers that the most evil existence in the world, the 'Underworld (Hell)' where the devils live, should be filled with an atmosphere of ominousness and war, and there is no light all day long.
But the underworld in Asia's eyes is not like this.
It would be better to say that the air here is fresher than in the city. There is no smoke of war at all, and no cries of fighting can be heard. The atmosphere is filled with tranquility and peace.
....Is this really the underworld?
Just as the blonde nun began to think like this, several figures fell from the lavender sky.
It was a being with a human appearance, a pair of jet-black wings on its back, and wearing full armor. It was the devil that Asia knew.
"Everyone, kneel down!"
One of the devils shouted this, and dozens of devil soldiers, including him, all knelt on one knee and bowed their heads to Asia... no, to be more precise, the black-haired young man next to her, and shouted in unison.
"Welcome our King, Absolute Evil-sama!"
"Just go and do your own thing."
Ryan waved his hand calmly.
"--yes!"
The supreme "Devil King" has spoken, and no one dares to neglect it. They immediately stand up and disperse to continue their patrol work.
"..."
Asia opened her mouth slightly, speechless.
However, it was at this moment that she realized that in front of her stood a magnificent and astonishingly huge palace.
"Mr. Ryan...Are you the King of the Devils?"
Asia came back to her senses and looked at the black-haired young man tremblingly.
The ruler of devils is a terrifying being called the "Devil King", and Asia has naturally heard about it from the godfathers.
Judging from the respectful attitude of the devil soldiers just now and those words, no matter how slow Asia was, she realized the truth.
"I did say that I was doing the job of a 'boss', directing a group of subordinates to do their work, didn't I?"
Ryan chuckled and confirmed to the frightened blonde nun.
"But, but…"
You didn't say you were the devil king of devils!
Asia wanted to say this out loud.
She originally really thought that Ryan was a young and promising director and big boss of some company.
But who knew that this "company" would actually be the entire "Underworld", and that the "subordinates" he mentioned would actually be devils.
"Okay, there's nothing to worry about. Let's go in first."
Ryan interrupted Asia with a smile, gently took the girl's hand, and walked towards the palace gate.
Seeing the return of the Devil King, the devils guarding the entrance gate of the palace pushed the door open together, knelt down, and respectfully watched the two figures enter before slowly closing the door again.
Hearing the heavy sound of the door closing behind her, Asia's delicate body trembled slightly.
"There's no need to be so nervous. From today on, this is your home, Asia."
Looking at Asia's nervous expression, Ryan spoke softly.
"Home... Mine?"
Hearing this, Asia looked up at the black-haired young man and asked in a daze.
"Yeah, yeah."
Ryan nodded in confirmation.
"My...home."
Asia was still a little dazed.
She never imagined that she, who was abandoned by her parents, expelled from the church, and treated coldly by everyone, would be taken in by the terrifying king of the Underworld and have a "home" to wait for.
