Chapter 183: In the original work, this guy is not a bad guy. That's all
If Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and London is the capital of England.
In the underworld, the capital is Lucifad.
From the name, devils and other supernatural beings know the city has something to do with Lucifer. And rightly so, since the current ruler of the city was this generation's Maou Lucifer, Sirzechs Lucifer.
At least that's what people knew on the surface. As for the deeper water inside? With the existence of the Devil Council and the people of the Great King Faction who focused on politics in the Underworld.
Who knew?
Eiji didn't know, in fact unless it was about the heroine and protagonist in Highschool DxD. He didn't know much about the things inside this franchise. In his previous life, he only watched the anime version until season 3 and the rest he got information from some fanfic he read.
At this time, he, Rias, Sona and even other girls like Lala, Nana, Momo, Akeno, Asia, Grayfia and Kuroka also came to the underworld. Except for Rias and Sona, he and the others were actually invited here to watch the game. As for Run and his other girls? Run had a training schedule in preparation for her debut as an idol. The green-haired girl joined the same agency as Ai Hoshino.
As for Yui, Haruna, and Mai? Eiji would have invited them, but the first two girls didn't want to skip school. Both were diligent students. And Mai said she had a photo shoot today, so even if she didn't go to school, she couldn't come with him either.
Eiji did not force the girls, after all, their arrival to the underworld was also really just for entertainment. Now they were walking in the hallway of one of the luxurious buildings on the outskirts of the Rating Game arena. Rias said she had prepared a VIP room for them, so now they were following the girl's ass with all her peerage members. Sona initially wanted to do the same, but the girl relented, she and her peerage were preparing before the Rating Game match started at another location.
Of course besides them, there were also other devils passing by and watching their group.
"Eiji, are they all devils?" Lala who was walking beside him was cheerful as usual even though they had already exercised 4 rounds this morning. It should have been difficult for the girl to walk, but Eiji had healed her instantly with his magic.
"Yes, they are all devils. What's wrong?"
"Hm... It's just that unlike Rias, Sona and Akeno, some of them have horns and strange heads. There's also one that looks like a humanoid sheep~!" Lala pointed at a certain devil. Momo immediately stopped her sister's arm pointing at people because it was rude. Nana and Asia were also looking at the devils whose appearance was not as beautiful as the devils in Eiji's house curiously.
Rias, who was leading the group, must have heard what Lala said. She smiled and said, "Lala, they are also devils. It's just that unlike me and Sona who have pure devil blood, they aren't pure-blooded devils so their appearance doesn't look like humans."
"Eh~ Then what about Akeno and your friends? Are they also pureblood devils, Rias?"
Lala's gaze fell on Koneko, Yuuto, and Gasper who were also walking with them. Except for Akeno who giggled, the other three smiled awkwardly. They certainly knew who Lala was, just like their King, the girl was also Eiji's fiancée.
"They're not pure-blooded devils, Lala. They're reincarnated devils who were once human and are now members of my peerage."
Rias introduced her peerage members one by one. Because except for Akeno, girls like Lala, Nana, Momo, and Asia had no idea who Koneko, Yuuto, and Gasper were.
While Lala and the others exclaimed "Oh..." with their newly acquired knowledge.
Kuroka was playing with her little sister's cheek.
"Come on Shirone! You can do it! Show the results of your training with Onee-san to everyone in the Rating Game, nyaa!"
"Ugh... Onee-san. Don't talk so loud and stop pinching my cheeks. That's embarrassing..."
Although she had made up with her older sister, Koneko was still not used to Kuroka touching and pampering her. But hearing what her older sister said, she clenched her small fists and would do as she said.
Previously for a month, Kuroka often trained her several times a week. He taught her Senjutsu, Youjutsu and Touki. Although not as good as her older sister, her current power had improved a lot compared to before.
So she can definitely help Rias a lot to win the Rating Game!
Rias was certainly happy after knowing Koneko's development. She knew it was thanks to her older sister, so before today she had also thanked Kuroka.
While the girls were chatting while walking. Eiji held his beautiful maid's hand so as not to be lonely. Grayfia had trouble maintaining her professional maid expression, she could hear the whispers of the other devils gossiping about her. After all, before becoming Eiji's woman, she was Sirzechs' wife.
So many devils must have wondered why Maou Lucifer's ex-wife Grayfia Lucifuge was holding hands with a human man.
There are also those who say she divorced from Sirzechs because she had an affair with another man.
Sirzechs has a green hat.
Etc.
Etc.
The gossip about her was hot. But instead of feeling annoyed, Grayfia somehow felt a little excited.
"Grayfia, should I let go of your hand? If you're uncomfortable, I'll let go." Eiji didn't know the silver-haired woman actually liked this situation, he thought she was uncomfortable hearing what those people said.
Grayfia's expression didn't change, but she looked at him gently and squeezed the man's hand that was also squeezing her hand.
"No. Ignore them, Eiji-sama. I'm your maid, you can do whatever you want to me."
But those women didn't know, actually as long as Eiji wanted it, he could turn into a demon because his two Demon King character cards had reached 100%. There were also changes in his body caused by Miss System's version of Rinnegan that made her wonder if he was now an ōtsutsuki? Well... Eiji was not sure.
But whatever, he was fine as long as it did not affect his appearance and fertility.
?{Are you talking about someone?}
'No. Seriously, I'm just explaining myself. Don't misunderstand.'
?{.....}
Rias was relieved to see that Eiji didn't take offense because of what Sairaorg did. Earlier she was actually a little panicked to see her cousin trying to test Eiji's strength by squeezing his hand.
She hurriedly held one of Eiji's hands and said, "Eiji, Sairaorg didn't introduce himself properly. So let me do it for you."
"Rias, you really don't need to do that." Sairaorg scratched his head.
Rias ignored him.
"Besides being my cousin. Sairaorg is also actually the heir to the Bael Clan. He is also known as the strongest young devil and the holder of the Longinus Regulus Nemea."
"Rias, what you said is true, but the title of strongest young devil might not be in my hands anymore since you and Sona have already surpassed this generation's young devils."
Actually at the young devil meeting a week ago, Sairaorg had challenged Rias and Sona because he sensed that the two girls exuded devil power not inferior to the Four Maou which made all the devils at the meeting surprised of course.
But there were no fights and Maou Lucifer, Sirzechs quickly announced in the Rating Game this time Rias and Sona would not compete with other young devils due to the obvious difference in power. The two would only compete against each other. Sairaorg who was a battle maniac certainly still wanted to fight with Rias and Sona, but his wish was denied by Sirzechs and he could only fight with other young devils in this Rating Game.
This was an episode where Eiji wasn't around and he obviously didn't know.
He also didn't care as long as his women were fine.
"So that's it. Sairaorg, you're too humble."
Eiji patted the man on the shoulder and praised him.
[I actually already knew who Sairaorg was from the original work. I knew this guy wasn't a bad guy because in the original work he became Issei's protagonist's friend. If I'm not mistaken, there was an episode where Issei defeated Sairaorg in the Rating Game and as the protagonist he of course won. From then on, Sairaorg and the protagonist's relationship grew closer and he became supporting characters for the protagonist.]
In the original work a protagonist like Issei was able to defeat his cousin? Okay, that was a little surprising.
But Rias' lips twitched. Didn't that mean she was saying something unnecessary because Eiji actually already knew?
If you know, stop pretending not to know!
I thought you really didn't know!
Rias pinched Eiji's waist and the man looked at her in surprise.
What's wrong?
Sairaorg felt that his cousin and Eiji's relationship was very good. At first he was actually a little worried that Rias was engaged to a man who had many women because wasn't that the same as Riser who was previously her fiancé? But after seeing Eiji in person, Sairaorg couldn't say this man was good, but at least he was strong and seemed to treat his cousin and the women around him well.
Sairaorg didn't stay long, after saying goodbye because he also had to prepare before the match started. He and his peerage left.
Seeing that Sairaorg had left, Rias opened the VIP room she had prepared for Eiji and the others. But when they opened the room door and saw the inside.
They were again stunned. Not because of the luxurious interior of the room and the big screen that could display the live broadcast of the Rating Game.
But because of the people who were already in the room before them.
Rias sighed and subconsciously said.
"I'm sure this is the VIP room I booked. I didn't get the wrong room, right?"
