Underworld.
Demon King's Castle.
The Demon King Lucifer met with the successor of the Gremory family. The figure seated in the shadows exuded an extraordinary presence. The light illuminated half of his body, and the dignified and imposing aura from his exquisite silk robe was unmatched. Even among the Four Great Demon Kings, Lucifer was the most special one. Only the strongest devil could hold the position.
"Lord Lucifer," Rias said calmly, truthfully reporting on the Fallen Angels' actions.
"I already know everything you've told me. You did well this time, especially since the Longinus, the Red Dragon Emperor, didn't fall into enemy hands."
"...It was all thanks to Luo Guang. I just helped with the aftermath." Rias sighed inwardly.
"In that case, why don't you tell me more about this Luo Guang of yours?" The Demon King Lucifer leaned out of the shadows, revealing a handsome, youthful face. "I heard you've been getting quite close to him recently. Is my little Rias dating a boyfriend in the human world?" His voice was no longer low but filled with a hint of curiosity and mischief.
The young man's face bore a slight resemblance to Rias's. He was Sirzechs, the Demon King Lucifer of the Underworld and Rias's older brother. However, after he inherited the name of Lucifer, he had to leave the Gremory family, which was why Rias became the successor.
"What? Brother, where did you hear that? Luo Guang is not my boyfriend!" Rias was flabbergasted.
"But I heard you've been very close to him for the past six months. My little Rias, you've never been like this with any man outside our family before. So, when are you getting married? Are you planning to have children? I'm quite looking forward to holding a nephew."
Rias was instantly speechless. What is he even talking about? Although she had feelings for Luo Guang, marriage and having children were so far away!
"Brother, who told you this?!" Rias began to get suspicious.
"I heard it from Serafall. A few days ago, she came here and complained to me that her sister, little Sona, rebelled against her for the first time."
"Uh... Sona? What does she have to do with this?"
"Little Sona has also been getting very close to your Luo Guang. He helped her solve the case of Kishimojin in Hachiōji, allowing her to resume her divine duties. The Sitri family rewarded little Sona, and Serafall naturally found out about it." Sirzechs shrugged. "Serafall saw how close little Sona was to him and wanted to go to the human world to warn him not to get too close to her sister, but her own sister forcefully refused."
"So, my little Rias, are you guys in a love triangle now?" Sirzechs's face was filled with intense curiosity.
"It's absolutely not a love triangle!" Rias retorted. "Please, Lord Lucifer, don't listen to rumors. I have things to do, so I'll be going now!"
Rias stormed off, but her mind was in turmoil. Why did Sona's relationship with Luo Guang get so good? And Sona had a very good relationship with her older sister, the Demon King Leviathan Serafall, but because of Luo Guang, she had confronted her beloved sister. Rias's mind was a mess. It seemed she wouldn't be sleeping tonight.
After Rias left, Sirzechs's smile vanished. He looked at the intelligence he had gathered. "He not only solved the Kishimojin case but also killed the leader of Aogiri Tree and took the Longinus, the Red Dragon Emperor..."
"Governor Grayfia, what is your opinion of him?"
From the shadows, a silver-haired, cold-faced girl in equally magnificent clothing slowly appeared.
"His origins are unknown, his strength is high, his potential is great, and he has no one backing him. He's an individual worth recruiting, but we'll have to see his future performance for specifics."
"Hmm, that's good. If Rias likes him, I can be a little more at ease. It's a shame that child is so stubborn and keeps everything to herself. I hope Luo Guang can change that about her." Sirzechs sighed slightly. After he spoke, he asked again, "By the way, what's the situation at the border? It's been quiet so far, but their intentions haven't changed. And I hear they've been secretly looking for the descendants of the original Demon Kings."
"Descendants... we'll keep a close eye on it then."
Time quickly passed through the weekend.
After putting the sleeping Est back in bed and glancing at Asia curled up under her blanket, Luo Guang left the villa. Seeing Asia's state, Luo Guang was considering whether to enroll her in a school. It would be simple; he just needed to ask Rias or Sona Sitri for help.
It was lunchtime, and Luo Guang found Koneko. He wanted to talk to her about Asia.
"Okay. I'm going to the Occult Research Club anyway. Want to come?"
"Yes."
