"Not particularly. But yes, I do have some work with you,"
"Oh, what could that be?"
"Hold your horses, dear. We'll discuss that when we are alone, next week, 10 pm, Central Paris," said Naruto, coming closer to her giving a courtesy bow, he went to Sona's side with one last wink at Grayfia.
Grayfia thought about it. She went on dates before on alias of course, but no one talked to her like how the young blonde did just now.
And they would just piss their pants when her true identity is revealed which always spoils her mood.
He is open, free and talks as if nothing is wrong and his attitude and behaviour showed her his expertise in dealing with women.
She can always feel something different from him compared to others. She can't shake that feeling from her. Even a strong and Super Devil like Sirzechs didn't make her feel like this.
It is as if they had a bond that was forgotten and after seeing him, it was re-enacted. She brought herself from those thoughts and clapped more for her friends.
Meanwhile, With Serafall
"Congratulations, Zechs-tan," yelled Serafall, clapping and bouncing vigorously. Seeing one of Satan's appreciations, all the Lords and Ladies followed suit and appreciated and congratulated the Red Satan.
"CONGRATULATIONS, SIRZECHS-SAMA. WELCOME SARA-SAMA," they yelled in unison. The crowd watching also started clapping and cheered in their homes or workplaces.
"I think you're overly excited, Serafall." A voice said beside the bouncing magical girl. Serafall turned to see a woman who she didn't see in a long time.
Grayfia Lucifuge was looking at her with a wide smile, after completing her chat with Naruto, she decided to greet her old rival. This reminded her of their rivalry from the old days.
"It's been so long since I've seen you like this, Fia-chan," Serafall said with a wide smile. After getting their new positions after the Devil Civil War, they had to stop their rivalry. It didn't sit well with Serafall, but her job took most of her time and she couldn't complain to anyone.
Seeing Grayfia in her casual attire sparked a new hope in Serafall of getting all those days back and having fun.
"Same goes for you, Sera-chan. But this time instead of proving who is strong, I got a better bet." Said Grayfia with a smile.
"What is it?" Asked Serafall curiously.
"We'll talk about that later, why don't you tell me what are you doing here instead of being with Sona?"
"So-tan is talking to that blondie," she said with a disappeared face.
"And you are allowing it? Did you leave him unharmed till now? What a surprise?" Asked Grayfia in surprise.
"No. There is something between them I can't put my finger on. My instincts are screaming to kill that blonde. But he knew a secret I don't want So-tan to know," said Serafall with a pout.
"What did you do this time? You know, if you act like this, Sona can't understand your real love." Said Grayfia. Serafall hung her head low for a second but cheered up.
"Nah. She loves me so much," said Serafall with a wide smile confidently.
"Whatever," said Grayfia, dropping the topic. Serafall started asking about different things and her plans for the future.
In Astaroth Territory
Diodora was enjoying himself when he was contacted by one of his servants and was asked to check the live feed of 'The Announcement', a program Sirzechs organised.
Curiously, he opened the live feed to get an unwanted surprise. There, behind the newly reincarnated bastard, stood the woman he desired.
His blood boiled to kill the blonde and have all of her for himself, but he managed to keep his instincts in check and observed them carefully.
"Hmm, it seems Cheado's assumption was true. She is his servant. What to do? What to do?" Pondered Diodora while the person he was 'enjoying' with, increased their pace.
"What do you think, Petra?" Asked Diodara. The person he was enjoying with, Petra, continued her work, not replying, but giving her responses through her pace.
"You want me to kill him?" Asked Diodara as her pace increased.
"You don't want me to kill him, but to snatch her away from him?"
"Wait until next year?"
"Petra, you don't think I'm weak? Right?" He asked with a very sweet smile. Her eyes widened and denied vigorously.
"Oh? You want me to wait till the official rating games next year?" Concluded Diodara as she was trying everything she could to save herself.
