"Rias... what are you going to do?" Akeno, who saw her master's expression, could only let out a helpless sigh.
"Why did you say that I am going to do anything now, Akeno?" Rias looked at Akeno with a sigh as if the queen had misunderstood her.
"...how long have I known you?" Akeno let out a helpless sigh.
"It's fine." Rias ignored Akeno's suspicion, but at the same time, she also didn't deny her plan to get what she wanted. "I have known her for so long, so even if something really happens, then I can be sure that she will accept it. Leave everything to me. Don't worry."
"..." Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko.
Yet as Rias' servants, they knew that they could do nothing, and they thought that they should leave everything to her older brother or parents, as they knew that no matter what they said, it was meaningless, but—
"But, Rias, what do you think of his Sacred Gear?" Akeno asked.
"What do you want to ask?"
"I mean... are you clear about the mutation on his Sacred Gear? And what do you mean by his origin before?"
It was clear that after reincarnating into a devil, Sato's Sacred Gear had undergone a great change, which made it powerful, but was it only the reason why it needed eight pawn pieces to reincarnate him?
If so, then the potential of this mutation of the Sacred Gear was powerful, and it was also understandable for him to be targeted by the fallen angels, but what if it wasn't just the reason?
Was he just a normal human?
When Akeno thought of that, it gave her a sense of kinship, feeling quite close despite hardly knowing him, yet even if she didn't have much of a chance to talk, she often observed him since he was the one who was sought by Rias and pretty close to Kiba, which made him probably the closest opposite gender in her current life.
"I don't know, but I will ask Sona later."
"What if she doesn't tell you?"
"I will force her!"
"...I think she will stop you since she has a lot of your embarrassing secrets."
"....." Rias.
Nevertheless, as Rias and her Peerage members discussed him, Sato tried to fix the misunderstanding that they had toward him.
"So... you don't have such a fetish?"
"Yes!"
"Then, why did you have this book in your room?"
When Sona asked this question, she held the 1,000 beautiful women armpit collection that was discovered in his room in her hand.
"It just happened to be there."
"...what?"
"It just happened to be there. I don't know."
"..." 2x
Sona and Tsubaki kept staring at Sato, but his face was as cool as a cucumber.
"...is that all you want to ask me?"
"Well..." Sona hesitated for a while since she was afraid that many things that she wanted to ask were quite sensitive.
"It's fine. Just ask. My life is pretty ordinary, after all."
Yes, his life was ordinary.
He had nothing to hide, and he was sure that those who knew it would think that it was pretty boring as he spent most of his time either studying, working out, or sleeping.
If he had a hobby, then it would be a... fishing?
When he had nothing to do, he would just fish on the fishing spot and just sat as he waited for the fish like that till the end of that day.
Well, Kiba also often went with him, as for the two, it was a calming activity.
Nevertheless, with this, Sato was able to distract them from the talk of his fake fetish, something that he used as an alibi to have a normal life, since if he were so normal, wouldn't it be boring?
Like how one felt when they wished to stain a single, pure, white canvas, while he knew that he was ordinary, he wanted to have something that was different from others, and it just happened to be an armpit.
"..."
Still, as he said those words, Sona was silent, but she knew that he told the truth since, as she knew everything about him, how could she miss them?
So, in the end, Sato had a certain mutation on his body or his Sacred Gear; as for why it only happened now, she didn't know, but she could only put all of the causes on the Evil Pieces that had reincarnated him into a devil.
"But... how do you feel?"
"I feel okay. Thanks for asking, Sona-sama."
"It's fine. I want you to be healthy, after all."
"So... can you tell me more about the devils as a whole and how their situation is?"
"Okay."
Sona was too excited, considering how she had gotten him as her Peerage member. She knew that she couldn't fall asleep, so it was better for her to stay and explain to him about the situation of the devil, and as part of her Peerage, she, of course, wouldn't let him remain ignorant.
Regardless, the devil's life was more or less similar to what was told in Christianity, so naturally, they were seen as evil beings who brought a human to hell.
"Is that the case?"
"Some might be, but we aren't."
"Can I ask the reason?"
"Well, it's because there is no point."
The human's life wasn't as good as before; it was worthless, so instead of wasting their time on the human, especially the useless one, it was better for them to do something else, such as to get stronger.
This was also what Sona did by recruiting Sato into her Peerage, which was one of her best decisions in her life.
"Why were you eager to become stronger?"
"Because we have a lot of enemies, and the devil is also not as strong as you think to be now."
"...." Sato.
The devil had a lot of enemies, and Sato was prepared for it, but he had to say that he could only sigh as he knew that he could no longer escape, yet it was all fine, since this faction wasn't weak, or rather, it was among many that grew stronger.
The stronger the race was, the harder it was for them to reproduce.
Unlike humans, who could pop out one after another, it was hard for the strong, such as gods, deities, devils, fallen angels, and all others, to get pregnant, and in the past, many things happened, which made most of the factions within the supernatural world to be weakened severely.
"So... all the myths, such as those gods in the myths, are real?"
"Yes, it is."
Sato shouldn't be surprised since he had become a devil, but of course, hearing it from Sona's mouth was a different matter.
Still, what he needed to watch out for the most were the angels, the church, and the fallen angels; besides that, the rest was more or less neutral, as no one bothered each other as long as everyone stayed in their territories.
Naturally, if they trespass on others' territory, a war or a fight would happen, depending on the situation, but except for the angels, the church, and the fallen angels, the rest were more or less neutral as long as one didn't provoke them.
"What about the devils?"
"The devil?"
"I mean... is the devil so peaceful together?"
Even among humans, a fight could break out, whether it was due to skin color, religion, race, or all other things that no one could imagine could become a reason for a fight, so was the devil different?
Still, as he asked this question, he couldn't help but look at Sona and Tsubaki, two beautiful, bespectacled women who he would have never thought in his life would stay at his place together, like this.
Yet, he had to say, it was hard for him to look at them since his place was quite small, and his interiors were more or less minimal, as he lived quite frugally. Moreover, he didn't have chairs, so he could sit on the carpet, yet it was impossible for him to let Sona and Tsubaki sit like him, so they sat on his bed.
Still, as he was in a lower position, sitting on the ground, they sat on his head, which made him look up at them.
However, while everything was fine, he felt that they were just careless since, despite wearing a short skirt, they opened their legs carelessly, flashing their parts that should have been hidden from him.
He wanted to look away, but sometimes, his eyes subconsciously drew toward that part of them that had some of the stains, as they hadn't washed themselves after a long day, making him feel all strange.
Yet, what could he do except let out a helpless sigh as he endured this uncomfortable feeling by squeezing his legs together.

By the way, I haven't asked, but the second Sato is from a world with the word "F" in front.
What do you think it is?
Also, what about the third Sato?
Which world do you think he should be from?
