Closing my system, I turned to Rias, who had a huge blush on her face, as crimson as her hair.
"Rias, are you okay?" I asked, feigning ignorance while enjoying her reaction.
She fidgeted slightly, avoiding direct eye contact. "Y-Yes, I'm fine. Just... a bit overwhelmed, I suppose."
Sona, noticing Rias's flustered state, raised an eyebrow but chose not to comment. However, I could sense a hint of jealousy in her demeanor. She crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Rias, if you need to compose yourself, we can continue this conversation later," Sona suggested, her tone more clipped than usual.
Rias shook her head quickly. "No, it's fine. We can continue."
Sona's gaze shifted back to me, a hint of challenge in her eyes. "Alex, if you're so supportive, maybe you could give some pointers to my peerage as well. They could benefit from your... expertise."
I chuckled softly, understanding the underlying tension. "I'd be happy to help, Sona. Just let me know when you need me."
Sona's expression softened slightly, though she still seemed somewhat guarded. "Thank you. I'll take you up on that offer soon."
Rias, finally regaining her composure, nodded in agreement and continued, "Anyway, I'll call you when we're ready to hunt the stray devils. It shouldn't be long now."
"Got it," I replied with a reassuring smile. "I'll be ready whenever you are."

After I left, Rias and Sona looked at each other, both deep in thought.
"He's... something else," Rias admitted, a hint of admiration in her voice.
Sona nodded, her expression contemplative. "Indeed. His presence and abilities are quite remarkable. But do you think we can fully trust him? He is God after all. "
Rias sighed softly, her crimson hair cascading over her shoulders as she pondered. "I trust him. He's been nothing but helpful so far, and Asia seems to trust him implicitly. Plus, Serafall vouched for him, which carries a lot of weight."
Sona smiled at Rias' reply, but her eyes held a hint of playful curiosity. "I also trust him. On that note, I want to ask you about something. What was that huge blush on your face when he talked about supporting you? Don't tell me you've fallen for him."
Rias's eyes widened, and she felt the heat rise to her cheeks once more. "W-What? No, it's not like that," she stammered, but the protest sounded weak even to her own ears.
Sona raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "Really? Because it sure looked like you were pretty smitten. Don't tell me that all it took was some sweet words from him to make you fall in love. You are more innocent than I thought, Rias."
Hearing Sona's teasing, Rias felt a surge of embarrassment and a hint of defensiveness. "You are one to talk," she retorted, her voice rising slightly. "You were going to marry him just after he defeated you in chess."
Sona's cheeks turned a shade pinker, her cool demeanor cracking slightly. "That was a strategic consideration," she replied, trying to maintain her composure. "Serafall-nee has always been pressuring me about marriage, and Alex presented a... unique opportunity."
Rias chuckled softly, shaking her head. "Strategic consideration, huh? Sure, Sona. Let's call it that."
Sona huffed, crossing her arms. "At least I'm honest about my reasons. And besides, it's not just about him being strong or charming. There's something about him that feels... trustworthy, despite the mystery."
Rias's expression softened, her teasing giving way to understanding. "You're right. He does have that effect. It's not just his power or his charm. It's the way he carries himself; he is a natural seducer."
Rias continued, "On that note, I got some information about Alex's girlfriend."
Sona's eyes widened with excitement. "You did? What did you find out?"
Rias leaned in, lowering her voice slightly as if sharing a secret. "From what Alex said, she doesn't mind sharing. In fact, she allows Alex to make a harem for himself."
Sona blinked, processing the information. "A harem? That's... unconventional, to say the least. But considering who we're dealing with, I suppose it makes sense."
"And it's not surprising for him to have multiple girlfriend as he is God."
Rias nodded in agreement. "Yes, his status as a God does come with certain... privileges."
Sona's expression shifted, a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty. "But what about us? How do we fit into his life if he already has a harem?"
Rias paused, considering Sona's question carefully. "We'll have to navigate that as it comes. But for now, I think we should focus on strengthening our alliance with Alex and his harem. We have a lot to learn from him, and having his support could be invaluable."
Sona nodded, though a hint of concern lingered in her eyes. "I just hope we don't end up getting hurt in the process."

Back at my apartment, I reflected on the day's events, feeling a sense of satisfaction. After all, I had successfully deepened Rias and Sona's feelings for me, and now I only needed to solidify that love.
As I entered my apartment, I found Asia and Yuri waiting for me,
"Welcome back, Alex-san," Asia greeted me with a smile.
"Welcome back, My Lord. Your bath is ready." Yuri said.
"Thank you, Asia. Thank you, Yuri," I replied with a smile, appreciating their gestures of welcome. "I'll take a bath shortly, but first, I have something I need to discuss with Asia."
