Chapter 41 - History, Pact and Rook 2

"Is Naru-tan and Ria-tan free now?" 

"Yes, Onee-sama" 

"Good. Ajuka-tan will come shortly and discuss an important matter with you" said Serafall energetically.

"About what? Onee-sama" asked Sona.

"It is about Naru-tan's request. He'll be there to explain it, don't worry" Serafall said calmly.

"I miss you, So-tan," said Serafall and the magic circle vanished from Sona's ear.

"What is it, Sona? What did Serafall-sama say?" Asked Rias curiously.

"I don't know what exactly, but Beelzebub-sama is coming here," said Sona in a plain tone and turned to Naruto.

"What is it you asked?"

"Oh, Ajuka is coming, good. Let him come, we'll discuss it afterwards" said Naruto. They waited for a few minutes after which a green magic circle. The symbol consists of a capital "B" almost like an insect's wing that has an insect-like tail on top and a claw at the bottom and 2 figures came out.

First was a bewitchingly beautiful and attractive young man appearing in his early twenties, with light blue eyes and green hair that is slicked back. He wore regal-looking green attire with yellow patterns with black strips in the middle.

Behind him was a woman. She is a beautiful young woman appearing to be in her early twenties with back-length silver hair that features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down which ends in twin braids and silver eyes.

She wore a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head with red lipstick. 

Naruto knew this woman. But he doesn't know her in an official capacity and so he kept his calm facade and waited for introductions.

"Beelzebub-sama. It's a pleasure to meet you" said Rias and Sona at the same time and bowed in respect. Their peerages followed suit and gave a bow to Satan Beelzebub.

"Yo," is the only greeting given by Naruto.

"Yes, thank you for assembling them on short notice, Sona. Naruto, how are you doing?" Asked Ajuka. This shocked most of them. Someone talking casually to the Devil King is unheard of and the Satan in question replying in a similar tone shocked them. 

They all masked it with a calm demeanour. Grayfia was perplexed by this. She didn't encounter anyone with such audacity to talk casually to the Satans, the underworld Rulers.

She couldn't act to 'discipline' him as he is not in her authority. She was brought here just so she could learn about this new individual who joined their ranks recently. She saw him. He was introduced to be one of the Human Devils along with Jiraiya-sama.

"I'm doing good, Ajuka. Sensei is another matter. He went somewhere and told me not to disturb him for a week" said Naruto. Reni gave a cough, unable to suppress her laughter at the blatant lie Naruto told Ajuka casually.

"That's ok, I guess. Who is this beauty?" Asked Ajuka, raising his eyebrows.

"Ah, yes. I forgot to introduce her to you I guess. She is Lavinia Reni, Vice President, Ninja Club and my Bishop. Reni-chan, this is Ajuka Beelzebub, one of the 4 Devil Kings" introduced Naruto.

"It is an honour to meet you, Beelzebub-sama," Reni said in a respectful tone with a bow.

"Yes, likewise, Reni-san. Now let's move on to the topic" said Ajuka.

"My, my, Ajuka, aren't forgetting your manners. You didn't introduce the beautiful young lady behind you" said Naruto.

"My bad. This is Grayfia-"

"The Strongest Queen of the Underworld, I have heard of," said Naruto in a mocking tone. Ajuka opened his eyes wide at that. Sona and Rias didn't miss it but filed it away.

'What! Does he know? But how? It is a well-guarded secret only known to the higher-ups and Gremory Clan members and their relatives' thought Ajuka in alarm.

'No need to get alarmed, Ajuka. Sensei told me about it and it appears you are a big loose mouth when you are drunk' said Naruto through thought communication or telepathy.

'I see, I must have slipped during one of our drinking sessions' said Ajuka to Naruto. Naruto just nodded.

"Yes, she is known by that name as well. Now she is just escorting me" said Ajuka and moved to the table to discuss things. The room was rearranged with a large table in the middle, Ajuka and Naruto at the head and end of the table and Sona and Rias on either side of the table.

"Now, Naruto, as per the promise I made to you, let's first tell these 2 about that," said Ajuka. He and Naruto explained about the day and what happened on that day when Naruto got the 'King Piece' as part of a test. Rias and Sona listened to it carefully. 

As Naruto already explained the 'history' of his Sacred Gear they moved forward to other topics at hand.

"I have named it Abyss Shadow, Ajuka," said Naruto and Ajuka nodded, taking in the information. Not that it is important as his Sacred Gear already has a name.

Grayfia stood behind Ajuka's right calmly while Reni stood to Naruto's right. Tsubaki and Akeno mimicking the actions. Kiba, Koneko, Yura and Momo sat on a couch behind their respective Kings.

'Everything was according to plan. It appears Naruto just told them some made-up story on his Sacred Gear. By the reactions of Rias and Sona, he gave them a good one' thought Ajuka. 

'If only I found him alone, I could introduce him to Grayfia personally,' thought Ajuka. He remembered what Zekram told him before coming to the meeting.
