When Michael, Maki, and their father reached the first floor, they found the girls laughing with Maki's mother.
"Oh, are you done already ?!" She asked Maki's mother when she heard someone approaching them and decided to turn her head to see who she was.
"Yes, it was not a difficult request" Maki's father replied calmly.
"Michael and the girls, are you guys staying for dinner?" Maki's mother asked.
Lilith and Nephilim looked at Michael waiting for him to respond.
"Yes" Michael agreed.
"Excellent ~!" Maki's mother exclaimed and she got up from the sofa to go to the kitchen.
"Wait Mrs. Nishikino, let us help you!" Lilith said getting up from the couch and following Maki's mother into the kitchen with Nephilim.
"I'll go too, mother!" Maki said chasing after her mother.
"Sure! ~" Maki's mother said with a happy tone in her voice since it is better to cook in company.
"..."
Michael and Mr. Nishikino, looked at each other and laughed wryly at what just happened, then decided to watch television hoping that dinner is ready.
An hour later, a rich smell emanating from the kitchen made the men watching television crave.
The smell was so rich that Michael and Mr. Nishikino couldn't be fully focused on the TV show and soon they heard the kitchen door open, Maki's mother and the girls came out with some plates in hand placing them on the table.
"Dinner is served!" Maki's mother said, distributing the dishes in the respective places.
Michael and Mr. Nishikino got up from the sofa and approached the table, each sitting in a chair.
Mr. Nishikino was sitting next to his wife and his daughter while Michael was sitting between Lilith and the Nephilim.
"Go ahead, let's start dinner" Maki's mother said with a smile.
" Enjoy!" They all said and began to eat.
When Michael tasted a spoonful of the served food, he froze for a moment and continued eating. 'Delicious!' Michael exclaimed inside him.
Lilith, Nephilim and Maki all smiled at Michael's behavior and were happy because they also observed how Maki's father was eating with a smile on his face.
The atmosphere surrounding the place became harmonious. Because of this, everyone happily ate while chatting.
And so a couple of hours passed, it was already 10 at night, and it was time to say goodbye.
Michael, Nephilim and Lilith walked towards the exit of Maki's mansion, but this time Maki was not accompanying them since she had spent a night with them and her parents were curious about her daughter's first sleepover.
"Thank you very much for the hospitality" Michael said bowing in front of Maki's parents. Lilith and Nephilim also did the same and thanked.
"Don't mention it, Michael-kun." Maki's mother said with a smile.
"My wife is right, you can come visit us whenever you want" added Mr. Nishikino.
"I understand, I'll visit you again" Michael agreed.
When they were about to leave, Michael remembered something.
"Mr. Nishikino, I leave you my contact number in case you have an answer to my request. Also, if you encounter any problems at the hospital, feel free to contact me" Michael said as he shared his phone number with Maki's father.
"I understand. I will try to contact my friend and let you know when I get an answer" agreed Mr. Nishikino adding the number that had been given to his phone.
"Thank you" Michael thanked and got in the car and then went to his home without first saying goodbye to Maki who was looking at him when they were driving away.
After watching as Michael and the girls left, Maki and her parents entered her house. But Maki knew that her parents will ask what happened at her sleepover and she felt like she couldn't sleep soundly this time.
-------------
Michael and the girls reached the entrance to his mansion and unlocked the large gate using a device.
After they had entered, Michael and the girls got out of the car and entered the house.
They all sat on the living room sofa and turned on the television to watch a program until they were sleepy.
While watching the show, they started chatting about today.
"Maki's mother is a very beautiful and young woman" Lilith said remembering Maki's mother and comparing her with what she knew from her previous world.
"You're right sister Lilith" Nephilim nodded with a smile and added: "Do you think Maki will look like her in the future?" She asked curiously.
"I don't know, based on what I remember from my previous world. Maki's mother was only a minor character in the anime where Maki was" said Lilith.
"Hmm ... what do you think dear?" Nephilim asked Michael that she was watching the show.
"I honestly thought she was not her mother but her sister" Michael joked.
"However, I think Maki will be more beautiful than her mother" Michael said with a slight smile on his face as he imagined what Maki would be like in the future.
"By the way, they seem to know Maki and even mentioned an anime that she appears in" Nephilim said a little curious.
"The anime in which Maki appears is an idol anime" said Lilith
"Idols?" Nephilim asked.
"The Idols are a group of people who are dedicated to singing various music in different settings and even know how to dance or model" replied Michael, explaining slightly to Nephilim about the Idols.
" I see!" Nephilim exclaimed and asked: "So Maki was very popular in the anime she belonged to?"
"Yes, very popular indeed. And not just her but the whole group," Lilith said with a smile.
"Eh? The group that she belongs to?" Nephilim asked with a confused face.
"Of course, the anime itself is about a group of idols" Lilith agreed.
"Hmm ... What an interesting group" said Nephilim interested in the group of idols.
"Hehehehe ... But sister Nephilim I think that soon we will be able to meet them. But we don't know if it will be the same as the story of that anime" Lilith said with excitement to meet those girls.
"It's true. Soon we will go to study with Maki at her school" Nephilim said with understanding and she remembered that they would study together with Maki very soon.
"But Lilith, in case it happens like the story in that anime, do you think Maki will want to join in?" Michael asked.
"I think so, Maki loves music very much. Also, we can suggest to Maki to participate in case she refuses. After all, it is better if she can do activities that she likes" said Lilith expressing her idea.
"Well, let's wait how everything happens. In case Maki wants to participate, I will support her 100%" said Michael expressing his unconditional support for Maki, if she wants to be an Idol. "
"Let's leave this topic for now, as we still don't know if it will come true or not" Lilith said and then looked at Michael.
"By the way, what did you and Maki's father talk about in her study room?" Lilith asked and Nephilim also looked at Michael curious about the talk that Michael and Maki's father had.
"It was actually somewhat short, I asked him if he had any acquaintances in a publishing house that is almost bankrupt expressing the idea of acquiring it." Michael replied about the conversation he had with his father-in-law.
"Also, I did not tell you that I want to publish some light novels. Therefore, instead of publishing them as a writer, it is better if I acquire a publishing house and publish many novels in order to improve the anime industry step by step" said Michael explaining his idea about the anime industry.
"I really did not expect that the anime industry in this world is declining," Lilith expressed pessimistically because it was thanks to anime that she and Michael were able to establish a relationship after knowing each other for some time.
"I did not expect it either but I will do everything possible to get it out of the bottom and make it grow in the future" said Michael expressing his dream
"Your dream will come true dear!" The Nephilim expressed her support for Michael and decided internally to help him make it happen.
"I'll help too!" Said Lilith and added: "I have some experience in drawing so I'll take care of the illustrations but have you thought about which novels to write?" She asked.
"Not yet, but I have some ideas. However, I still want your opinion" Michael replied with some doubts, so he thought about asking Lilith.
"Okay" Lilith agreed.
"I think it's time to go to sleep" Nephilim said in a tired tone of voice as she was feeling like sleeping.
"Let's go-"
Just when Michael was about to nod, she heard the sound of a new task and exclaimed within herself: It can't be possible!
Lilith and Nephilim saw him stop and asked, "What happened?"
Michael looked at them and replied briefly, "I have a new assignment" leaving the Nephilim and Lilith confused.
Michael said nothing more and checked the homework.
----------------
"Ding! New Task Unlocked!
Task: Destroy or paralyze the group of demons
Description: The system found that there was a group of 7 demons somewhere in the city and their purpose could endanger the peace of the host's life.
Mission 1: Find out the purpose of the group of demons.
Mission 2: Destroy them or paralyze the demons.
Rewards: 5,000 experience points, 5,000 store points, 1 regular lottery ticket and 1 Supreme lottery ticket
----------
"It can't be true" Michael expressed with a regretful face.
After all he was a bit tired and now the system comes up with a mission involving demons.
'What the heck is Rías and his group doing! 'thought Michael a little irritated.
Lilith and Nephilim looked at Michael for a moment and asked a bit concerned as this is the first time they have seen that kind of expression on him.
"Michael, what kind of task did you play this time?" Lilith asked.
Michael looked at them and sighed heavily, then explained the content of the new assignment.
Lilith and Nephilim were shocked for a moment and laughed lightly because now they knew the reason for Michael's expression.
" You will go?" Nephilim asked in a calm voice because he wasn't worried about Michael finding any incident
"I have to go" Michael agreed a little annoyed.
"Hehehe ~" Lilith laughed and added: "Be very careful."
"I understand. You guys go to sleep, I'll be back as fast as I can" said Michael and quickly left his house.
After Michael left, Lilith looked at the Nephilim and asked a little concerned, "Will this new task be dangerous?"
"I don't think so" Nephilim shook his head and continued: "I think Michael must have an idea about the demons he is up against. Also, I think there is something he hasn't told us yet"
"Could it be true?" Lilith asked with a slightly concerned tone.
"You must believe in him. Also don't forget that he got good skills" Nephilim said with a calm tone.
"Right! I forgot about it" Lilith said tapping her forehead lightly with her hand. "Let's rest, I think he won't be long."
Then Lilith and Nephilim went to rest with calm minds.
