After bidding farewell to Rias and her peerages, August couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Facing beautiful women, claiming not to be moved would be false, but August needed to understand a bit more. If everything went well, he wouldn't mind making Rias his family. If not, well, he would let it go.
Of course, the opportunity for such a plump piece of meat couldn't be missed. It had to be eaten.
Talking about physique, Rias, as the female protagonist, was undoubtedly one of the best in this world.
Back at home, with nothing to do, August immersed himself in his writing again. This was his first major work.
It was already evening when Hilda woke up, indicating she had been quite 'busy' this afternoon.
Watching the sky outside gradually darken, August stretched lazily. It had been a long time since he worked so long on the computer.
"My Lord~"
"You're awake, Hilda."
"Yeah, what would you like for dinner tonight? I'll prepare it for you."
"Anything is fine, nothing specific."
"Then I'll prepare something."
"Sure."
Hilda went to the kitchen, put on an apron, and began preparing dinner.
Watching Hilda, who transformed into chef, August was extremely satisfied. She was indeed the perfect maid.
Capable in both the living room and the kitchen.
Soon, dinner was ready. Since there were no other people in the house, there was no need to prepare too much.
Hum~
At this moment, August heard a vibrating sound.
Before August could react, Hilda ran into the bedroom, took out a crystal ball, and it was currently flashing.
"My Lord, it seems to be Lord Lucifer."
"Huh? Sirzechs?"
"Yes, this is Lord Lucifer's communicator. Lady Grayfia gave it to me when she came to the human world."
"Then connect and see what he's up to."
"Alright."
August connected to Sirzechs' information, and a projection came out of the crystal ball, revealing Sirzechs's figure.
"Hey, August, how's it going in the human world?"
"It's fine. Why did you contact me?"
"Nothing much, just checking on how you're doing and whether you're adapting to life in the human world."
"It's okay. By the way, I met your sister today."
"Rias?"
"Yes."
"What happened?"
"Your sister doesn't know me, but it seems like she's investigating me."
"Investigating you?"
"She wants to make me her peerage."
"This..."
Sirzechs naturally knew Rias's thoughts, and he felt pressure due to the engagement issue. He understood that Rias's peerages were all helped by him.
Akeno became Rias's queen under his protection. If it weren't for Sirzechs, how could Akeno's father, Baraqiel, allow his daughter to become a mere devil servant?
Koneko also became Rias's under Sirzechs' guarantee.
As for Yuuto Kiba, he escaped the Holy Sword Project with Rias, thanks to Sirzechs.
Even the sealed dhampir was also helped by Sirzechs.
Although Rias's current peerages have not been able to maximize their potential, they are all people handpicked by Sirzechs.
Otherwise, how could so many talents be reincarnated all at once?
"August, if there's anything wrong with Rias, I apologize on her behalf. Don't take it to heart."
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who ignores feelings."
"By the way, if possible, you can communicate more with Rias. My Rias is quite outstanding, a genius known in the Underworld."
"Hehe, I treat you as a bro, but you want to make me your brother-in-law."
"You..."
This sentence immediately choked Sirzechs. If August found a wife, of course, he hoped to matchmake them. If they really got together, the next generation of the Demon Clan would have half of the Gremory family's bloodline.
The Demon Clan was already scarce in population, and in a few generations, they might really become one family.
After all, it's better to keep the benefits at home. As a brother, Sirzechs naturally wanted Rias to find a good home.
Now, it seemed that August was the best choice.
"Why are you silent?"
"What should I say? What else do you want me to say?"
"If you don't say anything, I'll hang up. It's a waste of time. My nightlife has just begun, unlike yours."
After saying that, he directly hung up the communication, giving Sirzechs no respect at all.
"My Lord, are you really okay? This is the Satan Lucifer."
"It's fine. Just Sirzechs."
"This..."
Looking at his master like this, Hilda could only sigh. What else could she do?
At the same time, in the Underworld, in Sirzechs' study, looking at the disconnected communication, he was speechless. It was the same as always, not giving himself any respect, not caring about his identity.
But that's precisely why the two were friends, unrelated to status, unrelated to strength, just the relationship between the two.
Bang~
At this moment, Grayfia brought in a bowl of medicine.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Sirzechs, who was full of bitter smiles, Grayfia asked with some doubt.
"It's just August. This guy just hung up my communication."
"Isn't that normal?"
"Um, it is normal."
Although Sirzechs had a bitter smile, Grayfia could see that Sirzechs really treated August as a friend.
But Grayfia didn't comment on this. She didn't have much contact with August. At most, she would hear Sirzechs talk about him. The last time she met August was the first time.
Placing the tray on the table, Grayfia handed the bowl of medicinal soup to Sirzechs.
Sirzechssighed when he saw it and looked at Grayfia with guilt.
"It's been so many years. Are you still unwilling to give up?"
Holding the medicinal soup, Grayfia's body trembled slightly, but then she recovered.
"It's not about giving up or not. So many years have passed, and I've gotten used to it. I just don't want to give up the last bit of hope."
"I'm sorry for marrying you in, making you suffer like this."
There was no response from Grayfia. She just stood there and handed the bowl of medicine to Sirzechs.
Sirzechsdrank the medicinal soup directly, although it was bitter, he felt it was the sweetest thing in the world.
