Most of the devils, whether male or female, were good-looking, yet there was no doubt that Masa was on a different level.
Even Kiba Yuuto, the famous knight of the Rias Gremory, who was known for his handsome appearance, appeared normal in front of Masa. Along with his towering height and strong body, which made him appear reliable and dependable, he also gave off an image of masculine, heroic, and robust, which gave him a different charm from most of the men that they had seen in this country.
Effeminate and gentle.
Those were the characteristics of the handsome men in this country.
Yet, when they saw him, they felt like this was the ideal, perfect body that everyone sought after.
Yes, he might be tall, but even so, he didn't give off a bloated feeling, and those who saw him wouldn't be intimidated by his figure. Instead, they would feel a gentle feeling like moonlight for the devil.
This was how Sona had the impression of Masa for the first time, so she was in a daze for a while, never expecting the cute cub who she watched on her older sister's video to become the king of beasts, a manly man that could anyone fall in love.
Yet, while Sona had to admit that Masa was her type, it was still too early for her to agree to have him as her fiance, considering how she only agreed to have a fiance that could defeat her in a chess game and how would one think after knowing her dream.
After all, unlike Rias' simple dream, who just wanted to be known and show her greatness in the Rating Game so she wouldn't be known only as the little sister of Sirzech Lucifer, Sona's dream was complicated since if her dream was realized, it meant that she would affect the interests of many noble families.
Yet, Masa, who had never thought to go after Sona, also couldn't help but think that she was beautiful. Her hair was short, and her body was slender. Her bust might not be the biggest, but her charming appearance compensated for that. More importantly, he couldn't help but imagine how her strict and cool appearance melted into a dirty, lewd, and loving woman.
Still, he couldn't help but mock himself for being such a perverted guy, yet this was how a man was, right?
He was normal, so how could he not be attracted to a beautiful woman?
Frankly, the maids in his house were all beautiful and attractive, yet he endured himself and never touched them. More importantly, his aunt, Misla, was quite strict with him, always trying to push away all of those beautiful maids and taking care of him by herself while telling him to be patient toward an intimate relationship with the opposite gender.
Yes, Misla often reminded him to wait until he approached an appropriate age instead of doing it when he was young.
Then, when was his appropriate age?
Was there even a need to explain?
It should be now.
Nevertheless, Masa couldn't help but call Sona again, as she had been silent and had not answered his introduction. "Um, are you Sona Sitri?"
"...."
Sona felt embarrassed as she had been stunned after watching him for the first time. Even if her mind said otherwise, her heart said otherwise.
Now, if Masa even ate Hancock's Mero Mero no Mi, what would happen?
Masa dared not imagine!
"That's right." Even if Sona had caused a little mistake, her face was as calm as ever. "My name is Sona Sitri. Nice to meet you too, Vapula-san." Still, if someone looked closer, they would notice a slight blush on her smooth cheeks.
"That's great that I don't mistake you, so should I call you Sitri-san?"
"You can call me Sona."
"Is that okay? I am younger than you, you know?"
"Or, do you want to call me Onee-chan like you call my older sister?"
"...then, Sona-neesan. You can call me Masa since it feels a bit unfair if you call me by my family name." Masa felt a bit embarrassed since he knew that Sona teased him when he appeared on Serafall's Miracle Leviathan during his childhood, and on that show, he called Serafall "Oneechan" with a cute expression, which made him speechless.
"...okay, Masa."
Yet, Sona took a deep breath, feeling it was quite nice being called "-nee-san" and understood why her older sister often asked her to call her "Onee-chan."
Still, if there was a reason she appeared this way instead of steadfast and calm, it was that she subconsciously thought of him as her fiance candidate, so she couldn't help but start to become conscious of him.
More importantly, due to his family status, appearance, and feats in his domain, he did not need to show his capability by fighting others with absolute strength to make others fall for him as their status matched.
"Masa, I have heard that you plan to invite someone into your peerage in the human world from Onee-sama."
"If I find someone suitable, then yes, but I'm not desperate enough to invite anyone. Still, I am a bit curious about the human world. You have been living in this world for a few years, right?"
"Yes." Sona nodded and said, "I have stayed in this world for a few years, and this place is good. Your stay might be short, but I will do my best to show you how wonderful this place is."
"Yes, I can't wait for that."
Masa's smile appeared sincere and gentle, which caused many to fall into a daze, but fortunately, Sona's peerage members weren't asked to say anything as they knew the difference in their status well. Still, that didn't stop them from taking a peek at his appearance.
"By the way, let me introduce you to my peerage members first."
"Sure."
By then, Sona introduced Masa to all of her peerage members, starting with her Queen, Tsubaki Shinra; her two Bishops, Momo Hanakai and Reya Kusaka; her Knight, Tomoe Meguri; her Rook, Tsubasa Yura; and lastly, her two Pawns, Genshiro Saji and Ruruko Nimura.
"Nice to meet you all."
Masa nodded and didn't appear arrogant in front of all of them. Still, when all of the female members kept peeking and staring at him curiously with slight blushes on their faces, and some even could only talk nervously, the only male member of Sona's peerage appeared to be in a complicated mood, but even so, he didn't forget his etiquette.
'Hmm...'
Masa understood why Saji showed such an expression, but he didn't think too much since Saji wasn't the biggest problem in this world.
Even if Saji became stronger in the future, at best, Saji's power would only be mid.
Nevertheless, Sona couldn't help but ask, "Still, if you want to search for servants, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get talented devils to work under you, right?"
To be honest, Sona and Rias's actions in choosing mostly humans as their peerage members were weird, especially when most of the devils would choose other races with powerful innate abilities, such as another devil, dragons, or others, instead of humans, who were powerless beings.
"It won't be hard for me, but it will be boring, right?"
"...I don't think that is one of the elements that you need to watch out for when searching for a peerage member." Sona was speechless, and her impression of Masa also started to change, but it didn't have a bad meaning.
"Every individual is different, after all, and we have our own beliefs that might not be understood by others, right?"
Sona stared at Masa for a moment, then nodded. "You are right." Like her dream couldn't be understood by others, he also had his own beliefs, yet this also made her have an expectation, hoping someone could understand her dream and accept it as no one with the same status as she could understand her, thinking that she was stupid for having such a dream.
Yet, when Sona thought to invite him to go back, Tsubaki suddenly received an alarm, which made her expression change, and she quickly whispered to Sona. "Sona-sama..."
"Hmm?" Sona's expression changed, wondering why such a situation happened at this moment.
"What's wrong?" Masa asked curiously.
Sona hesitated, but in the end, she told the truth. "I am sorry, Masa, but I have received an alarm that there is a stray devil within the city."
"Then, there is no need to worry about me. You are the governor of this city, after all. I understand."
Sona sighed in relief at Masa's understanding, but then, she thought for a moment and asked, "If you don't mind, do you want to join us to see how life is in the human world?"
"Hmm?"
