Outside the building!
The surrounding streets were empty.
Clearly...
The area had been cleared in advance.
Gojo carried Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuji on his shoulders, smiling. "May I ask what brings Your Majesty to Tokyo?"
"What, afraid I'll cause trouble?"
Ayato said with a faint smile.
"Of course not..."
Gojo put away his smile and said seriously. "Whatever Your Majesty wishes to do, we have no right to question."
"I only want to better serve Your Majesty."
Ayato looked deeply at Gojo. "It seems you're not completely ignorant of social graces."
"Haha, I'm not one of those stubborn old men."
Gojo smiled. "Isn't it necessary to respect the strong?"
Although upon meeting...
He did have a slight urge to attack.
After all, he was a legendary God Slayer.
Even he had never encountered one before.
But...
Once he sensed Rias's aura, he completely abandoned that idea.
This woman alone was not to be underestimated.
Let alone...
Ayato, from whom he couldn't sense any powerful aura at all.
The other was a God Slayer.
He wouldn't naively think...
That this King was unworthy of his title.
"Since you put it that way."
Ayato said bluntly, "Do you have any information about other Devils, or the Khaos Brigade?"
"There are indeed Devils around."
Gojo said thoughtfully. "Whether they're the Khaos Brigade or not, I don't know, but they've been actively collecting Sukuna's cursed objects."
"We even suspect that Sukuna may have already been resurrected."
"I see. Things are getting more and more interesting."
Ayato stroked his chin, a playful look on his face.
"In that case, let's see what surprises await me."
At the villa.
Nobara changed into new slippers and looked around the unfamiliar environment.
"Is this Master's home?"
"No, this belongs to Rias."
Ayato said. "The apartment I live in with my servants is elsewhere. I'll introduce you sometime."
"Yes..."
Nobara had completely stopped listening, utterly captivated by the surrounding decor.
Her dream was just to become a small star.
A house like this...
She couldn't even dream of it.
And...
Her master controlled several worlds...
Which made him even richer.
And as a servant, she would naturally benefit.
Unconsciously.
The corner of her mouth curled up.
Hmph.
Just by becoming a Devil, she had naturally crossed class boundaries?
This was simply wonderful.
"This is Akeno-senpai."
Ayato pointed to Akeno coming down the stairs. "She is Rias's servant."
"If there's anything you don't understand here, just ask her."
"Oh."
Nobara blinked and asked, "Master, do you have something else to do?"
Ayato nodded seriously. "Because of you, my date with my fiancée was interrupted today."
"So naturally, I need to make it up to her."
"???"
Nobara's face was full of question marks. She didn't quite react.
But when she saw Ayato sweep Rias off her feet and carry her upstairs...
She immediately flushed bright red.
"Akeno, I'll leave this child to you."
"I understand, President Rias."
Akeno smiled. "Tea or coffee?"
Nobara was about to answer.
The sound from upstairs made her brain short-circuit again.
Had it already... started?
The next day.
Nobara yawned as she walked out of the bedroom.
Dark circles were clearly visible under her eyes.
A hint of worry appeared on her face.
Although it was just sounds...
For her, who had been single her whole life, it was a bit too stimulating.
She even felt like the whole villa was shaking.
She really couldn't sleep.
She even...
Had to change her bedsheets.
It was all because of that comment from Akeno-senpai: "Miss Nobara, you could actually get ready to take over."
Who wanted to take over?
She hadn't even been Master's servant for a full day yet.
She was a girl.
She had her pride, okay?
In a daze, she went downstairs and saw Akeno preparing breakfast.
"Akeno-senpai, is there only one breakfast?"
Looking around, Nobara was slightly surprised.
"From experience, Ayato-kun and the President probably won't eat."
The corner of Nobara's mouth twitched.
Such experience was truly terrifying.
After hesitating, she still asked, "Akeno-senpai, can you actually sleep?"
"It's manageable."
Akeno blinked. "Just Ayato and President Rias? That's child's play."
Nobara: "..."
