"OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!"
Everyone, especially Masa's male friends, all the members of the House of Phenex, and also men in the area clapped their hands happily and shouted with all of their rights as they congratulated Masa and decided to take Ravel as his wife.
"Congrats!" Sairaorg was in tears.
"Finally, finally..." Riser was the same, feeling happy that Masa finally decided to take a step forward.
Similarly, all of the members of the House of Phenex were happy as they knew they could trust Masa.
Still, Sona could only watch all of this in a daze, feeling helpless and weak all of a sudden that she was about to fall.
"Sona-sama..."
Tsubaki quickly helped her master before she looked at Sona helplessly, but she also knew that there was nothing she could do. If she had to be honest, she also wished for Masa to be Sona's fiance, but then again, her mistress' opponent was too strong.
A childhood sweetheart.
In most stories, the childhood sweetheart is defeated by a naughty cat who suddenly interrupts and then takes the love of the protagonist.
Unfortunately, even if his relationship with Sona was okay, in the end, Masa chose Ravel since he knew her well, and he also wasn't sure whether Sona would agree to his proposal, especially with how short the time they met each other.
Masa had only known Sona for a week, but he had known Ravel from childhood, and he knew well that Ravel could give him everything.
Even if he was a bastard, she didn't mind and kept following him persistently, supporting him with many things.
If they married, he could imagine that she would prioritize him instead of herself, so toward such a girl, how could he not be moved?
Meanwhile, he knew that Sona had a dream, which was to build a Rating Game school for a low-class devil. If he married her, he knew that he would help her, but while he didn't mind, he didn't have much time to confirm how she felt.
More importantly, he had to face Sirzech, who wanted to wed him to his little sister, who he didn't know.
Rias was beautiful, but once again, he didn't know her even though this was how an engagement between a high-class devil works.
Still, if one was being asked to choose one that they were unfamiliar with or familiar with, it was natural; they would choose the familiar, right?
Unless the one they were familiar with was horrible, most people would choose one they were familiar with.
Knowing each other from childhood, coming from the same high-status family, knowing each other's respective obligations, and, more importantly, Ravel's acceptance toward other girls was high, especially with how scumbag her older brother was.
For Masa, who only had Asia and was gentle and kind, Ravel didn't care much and accepted her happily.
In the case of Sona and Rias, Masa could imagine that they could accept him being with others, but then again, Ravel was the first one who came into his life, so he chose her.
Naturally, this was an informal engagement, and in the future, there would be a similar event where they announced their engagement formally.
Yet, there was no doubt all the women looked at Ravel with jealousy.
"I thought that a childhood friend would always be a loser..."
Sirzech murmured as he thought about all the plots of gal games that he had played or anime he had watched; there were hardly any childhood friends who would win the heart of the protagonist.
"You are too hasty..." Grayfia sighed.
"If I don't, then you should imagine how many will come to him, right?
"...." Grayfia.
If Sirzech didn't make a move at that time, then the others would.
Instead of with Riser, Rias might as well be with someone as strong as Masa, who probably could match him.
Unfortunately, Masa chose his childhood friend.
Still, there was no doubt that after all of that, it would be hard for Masa to go back, especially when his strength was obvious, so everyone wished to get close to him. However, he ignored them and decided to go back, holing up in his domain since he felt it was too troublesome when all the devils wanted to get to know him.
If they could bring him benefits, then it was all fine, but they were all parasites without value and just wanted to mooch off him, so he directly left with Asia.
As for Ravel, she would follow him later after she took all of her items to her house, planning to live with him directly.
"Are you fine, Masa-sama?"
Laying on Asia's lap, Masa looked at this nun, who he had picked up accidentally when he visited the human world. Even after all of that, she still looked at him softly and understood him, which made him even more guilty, yet he was also sure that she also understood her position, especially when Misla had taught her everything.
It was impossible for Asia to become his official wife, especially in the current society where the number of pure-blood devils had dropped so much.
If Asia had a power like Issei, then it might be possible, but she was just a healer, after all.
More importantly, in her mind, she was fine as long as she could be with him.
Her wish was simple: nothing more and nothing else.
"Yup."
Somehow, he released his tail and made it hold her thin waist softly.
Watching this tail, Asia flushed red and asked softly, "C-Can I touch it, Masa-sama?"
"Be careful... it's pretty sensitive."
"Um."
Carefully, Asia touched his tail nervously yet excitedly, and then slowly, she wrapped her palm around it and caressed it softly. Strong and long, yet somehow so soft.
Still, Masa bit his lower lip, feeling a strange sensation in his body since he had been holding back for so long, and he hadn't met Raynare, Mittlet, and Kalawarna for a while as he had been holing up inside his laboratory to evolve his standard Zoan Devil Fruit into mythical species of Nemean Lion model.
"S-Stop it, Asia."
When Asia's stroke became harder, Masa quickly said, which made her panic a little.
"A-Ah, yes!"
Asia looked at him nervously and asked, "W-Was it hurt?"
"No..."
"Then?"
"It feels good..."
"O-Oh..."
Their eyes were a little dodgy, yet somehow, Asia could feel Masa staring at her untainted cherry lips as her face grew hotter.
Masa also started to raise his body, then moved closer toward Asia, who closed her eyes and felt a gentle touch on her lips.
'Her first kiss...'
Asia felt it was so wonderful, and Masa, who had nothing to fear, knew it was better to go all out so he wouldn't regret anything later.
Yes, he might have defeated Issei, but as the world wished for this pervert to stand up, it was impossible for him to stay down.
Frankly, Masa knew that as long as he caused trouble for Issei, then all of those who were close to Issei would trouble him, but then again, what if no one was close to Issei?
His battle was far from over, yet as the enemy prepared themselves to grow stronger, Masa also wouldn't lay down and let himself be overtaken.
As he had defeated Issei once, he would definitely defeat him twice, thrice, and more, forever.
Still, he could think of those problems later since his gentle kiss with Asia slowly turned into a lewd one.
The more they kissed, the more they were unable to stop their urge.
As their tongues were connected and their bodies tightly clung against each other, neither of them planned to part away, completely enraptured by the new sensation that they had felt.
This sensation made their bodies weird, unable to be controlled, yet even so, they wished to be even closer before Masa quickly became sober and realized the mess he had made.
Asia's pureness and innocence were no longer there; her appearance had become that of a woman who learned the pleasure that came from holding her loved one, which distorted her original pureness and innocent charm.
Yet, even so, wasn't he just too thirsty to go all out to hold Asia after he just asked another girl to become his fiancee?
"Asia, I—"
Her lips were once again taken his lips for a moment before she said, "It's fine, Masa-sama. If you are not there, then my life won't be here. I won't be able to enjoy everything, nor can I stay with you like this, so you don't have to worry.
With a bashful yet firm expression, Asia said tenderly, "I love you, Masa-sama."
"..."
Taking a deep breath, there was no hesitation in him anymore; kissing her lips lovingly, he made her into his woman.
Yet, in many places, there was no doubt they felt their most important was taken away.
Similarly, Misla felt her heart tighten, yet she did nothing and let out a helpless sigh as she told everyone to move away from his room.
Nevertheless, Asia was happy and cried in happiness as she had become one with her most beloved.
