"That sounds like a good idea? In the meantime, I'll ask Cheado to search for a new one," said Diodara with a happy smile.
"Gluck, gluck, gluck," replied Petra.
"Yes, yes. Petra. I know you badly need a companion. But as you said, I should wait till next year to have her. But don't worry, I'll ask Cheado to search for a good friend for you," he said in a satisfied tone and with a gulp, Petra continued her work.
'In the meantime, let's test his limits,' thought Diodara with a devilish smile, his smile wide and his eyes closed.
In Gremory Estate
Sirzechs saw the stupefied expressions on his honorary guests' faces. He started to explain to them how all this came to be.
"I know you were happy to know the truth at long last, but I apologise again for keeping this for so long," said Sirzechs and the loud cheers stopped as everyone heard their Maou speak.
"I want to thank Grayfia Lucifuge for her help," said Sirzechs and everyone applauded for the silver-haired Ice Que-Devil.
"All the stories you heard and read till now about us are between me and Sara and not Grayfia." Clarified Sirzechs with a wide smile. Sara nudged him and took the amplifier from him.
"To the respective Elders and Maou and beloved Devils. I apologise for this man's words. But I want to thank you all for understanding my situation and welcoming me with open arms," said Sara with a wide smile and everyone applauded.
"I thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. Mov-"
"This is a special occasion. I am going to release the next book of Lost in Underworld," yelled Jiraiya before Sara could speak.
"Yay" cheered the crowd which had the Lords and their respective Ladies. Sara refrained from continuing as she knew no one was going to listen to her when Jiraiya is talking.
"Jiraiya-sama, I think we are in an important announcement," said Miya, trying to stop the man from creating a ruckus.
"Huh, no. What are you talking about, Miya-chan? All my fans are here and they're excited to get their new books," said Jiraiya gesturing to the forming crowd around them.
"Jiraiya-Tan," came a loud voice and a pink bullet slammed into Jiraiya.
"Sera-tan. How are you doing?" Asked Jiraiya with a pained look?
"Mou, Raiya-tan. You didn't come to last year's shooting," said Serafall with a pout.
"Sorry, Sera-tan. I was 'busy' then. I'll come to the next one if possible," said Jiraiya in an apologetic tone.
"Yay. We are going to fight villains together and Oooo. We'll include So-tan as well-" Serafall went on a tangent after that about everything she wanted to do with 'So-tan' in the movie.
With Sona
Sona was observing her blonde companion carefully. 'He is hiding something from me,' concluded Sona. Her sister won't leave anyone who talks or acts all good with her unhurt.
Such a person left Naruto all alone, even before she could come up with some excuse to save him after Naruto said about some lens.
"Tsubaki, search our office and school premises thoroughly for any lenses and other spying tools," ordered Sona sternly.
She is not going to leave this until she finds what's all this about. 'I'll find what they are hiding,' thought Sona in determination. She missed Naruto's absence completely as he went to talk to Grayfia in her deep thought.
"What do you think of the announcement?" Asked Naruto, coming to her side.
"What do you mean?"
"Is it good, bad? Sound or unsound?" Explained Naruto.
"Sirzechs-sama doesn't do anything without thinking. I'm sure he had something in mind for making this announcement," said Sona, adjusting her glasses.
"Do you think I should congratulate them?" Asked Naruto.
"Of course, it will give a good impression on you," agreed Sona.
"Then we go, Reni-chan," said Naruto and Reni followed him towards the announced couple.
Naruto walked up to a funny sight. Sara can be seen chastising Sirzechs for his choice of words.
"How many times should I tell you to not speak of them in public," she said in an aggravated tone.
"But, I thought they might misunderstand and tried to clarify them!" Sirzechs supported himself.
"Who are you fooling, Zechs? You told about it intentionally," she accused.
"I'm not aware of that," said Sirzechs, acting innocent.
