the next morning. Mu Hantian and Aisha were on their way to school.

"Han Tian, ​​are you okay?"

Aisha looked at Mu Hantian and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night." Mu Hantian waved his hand and said. Afterwards, he walked towards the school with light footsteps.

………………

"Is it afternoon? Then it's time to find Aisha and Ise." Hearing the school bell, Mu Hantian got up and walked towards the Supernatural Research Department.

Coming to the Supernatural Research Department, Mu Hantian opened the door of the department.

In the room are Rias, Akeno, Kitten, Yuto, Ise, Asia, and—the silver-haired maid, Grace! The cold expression remained unchanged. The whole room gave a tense feeling.

After confirming each member, Rias said, "Everyone is here. Then, I have something to say before starting the event."

"Miss, let me explain?"

Rias held out her hand and rejected Grefia's proposal.

"Actually..."

The moment Rias opened her mouth. The magic circle on the floor of the department shone brightly. The Gremory pattern drawn in the magic circle has changed into a shape that has never been seen before.

"This is... Phoenix." Kiba said this sentence next to him.

Phoenix? So that's it, was Rias' performance last night because of that engagement? No wonder.

The entire city was covered with dazzling light, and a figure appeared from the magic circle.

boom!

Flames rolled up from the magic circle, and the interior of the room was enveloped in heat.

A male silhouette emerges from the fire. With a wave of his hand, all the surrounding flames were swept away.

"Huh, it's been a long time since I came to the human world." There was a man in a red suit. The suit is very casual, not even a tie, and the shirt on the chest is open. Appears to be in his twenties. Although the face is very good, it always gives the feeling of being a gangster. Hands are also in pockets. Always feel like a cowherd.

The man looked around the room, and when he saw the minister, the corners of his mouth rose and he smiled slightly.

"Dear Rias. I've come to see you."

Rias looked at the man with half-open eyes. It really doesn't feel like you're welcoming him. However, the man continued to approach without caring about Rias.

"Okay, Rias. It's a bit early, but let's go and see the ceremony venue. It's better to decide the date earlier."

"Please let go, Raisel." Rias said in a low and powerful voice and waved the man's hand.

The man called Raisel didn't care that his hand was waved away with a wry smile.

"Hey. You bastard. It's so rude to the minister. After all, what's the point of taking such an attitude toward a girl?" Ise said sarcastically.

The man turned around and looked at Ise with the same look at the garbage on the road.

"Ah? Who are you?"

unhappy tone. It was completely different from the sweet words he had just spoken to Rias.

Ah, obviously defiant eyes.

"I am a demon belonging to Lady Rias Gremory! 'Soldier' ​​Hyoudou Issei!"

"Hmph. That's it."

The man turned around with little interest and ignored Ise.

"By the way, who are you!"

For the first time, the man was surprised by Ise's question.

"Ah? Rias, didn't you tell the servant about me? Speaking of which, there is someone who doesn't know me? A reincarnator? It should be like this."

"I didn't say it because it wasn't necessary to say it."

"Ah, it's stern as always. Hahaha." The man rubbed the corners of his eyes and smiled wryly.

At this point, Grafia intervened.

"Hyoudou Issei-sama."

"Yes Yes!"

"This lord is Lord Raisel Phoenix. He is a pure-blooded superior demon, the third son of the Phoenix family with a long history." Grefia introduced.

"And then, it's also the bridegroom who will be the next head of the Gremory family." Gurefia continued.

"Ehhhh!" Ise yelled in surprise.

………………

"Yeah, the tea that Rias's 'queen' makes is really delicious."

"You flatter me."

Rias sat on the sofa. Next to him, Raisel frivolously hugged Rias's shoulders. Although Rias waved the hand on her shoulder several times, the guy carelessly touched Rias's shoulder, hand and hair. Been doing too intimate things!

at this time--

"Please stop in moderation!"

Rias resounded through the room with excitement.

Rias, who stood up, stared at Raisel with sharp eyes. And Raisel was smiling as always.

"Raisel! I should have said it before! I will not marry you!"

"Ah, I've heard of it before. But, Rias, you can't do that, can you? I think you're being pushed pretty hard by your parents too, right?"

"You're nosy! Since I'm the next leader, at least I have to decide on my husband's choice! Then my father, my brother, and everyone in the family suddenly became anxious! I said that at the beginning, it was my university in the human world. Give me freedom until I graduate!"

"That's right. Basically, you are free. It's fine to go to university, and you can choose your servants as you like. However, your father-sama and Sazex-sama are very worried. They are afraid that the Gremory family will be broken. Originally, many pure blood demons had been lost because of the previous war. Although the war has stopped now, it is still in a state of confrontation with the fallen angels and the **** camp. It is not that there are no pure blood demons because of small friction with those guys. The example of killing the family is pure. As a pure-blooded superior demon family companion, it is natural to want to restore the demon's combat power. A pure-blooded superior demon. You don't know how precious its newborn is, right?"

Rias fell silent after hearing what Raisel said seriously. However, the line of sight is still very sharp.

After taking a sip of black tea, Riesel continued: "The new demons—the demons reincarnated from humans like your servants have been quite useful recently, but they are still not as good as the superior demons of our ancient family. The old lineage where the powerful reincarnated demons came together also exists. Well, that doesn't matter. What the demons need from now on is fresh blood. But, we can't let pure blood demons go extinct like this? You and I are Chosen to prevent pure blood from perishing. My family has a brother, so it doesn't matter. However, you have only two brothers and sisters there. And your brother left the house. In this way, Rias also has to inherit Gimon Li family? If you don't get married now, maybe the Gremory family will end in your area. Are you trying to destroy the long-established family line? Because of the influence of the previous war, it is called 'Seven' There are not even half of the demons left in the Twelve Pillars. This marriage is related to the future of the demons."
