Chapter 108: Officially Engaged
Masaru currently was leaning back on his couch, in front of him was one of the famous Streamers on DeviTube, Lucas Hugo. He was a reincarnated devil but since he did not have much ability he was allowed to work in his chosen profession to generate money for himself since his current Master was from the Adramelech family who focuses more on Business.
Masaru already has gotten the report from his girls about this event when he ended the meeting with the Gods and Satans last night, apparently, this was approved by several leaders so Masaru could not decline this interview since it will be broadcasted to several factions that joined the peace alliance.
However, he was quite surprised since he did not expect this guy would pitch up first thing in the morning to start his live stream interview. "Good Morning Sir Masaru Belial, my name is Lucas Hugo, I am a streamer and on behalf of our audience I was asked to interview you"
"It's fine, I have been notified by my peerage about this beforehand. Welcome to the Belial Family. Before we start I would like to say that there might be questions I won't be able to answer so I hope you will understand, however, I will be sure to accommodate you." Masaru said with a smile before he glanced at Lucas's equipment.
"Can you mobile stream? Because I have to visit a few places and tonight will be my engagement party." Masaru said with a wry smile.
"Yes I have prepared for it, so where will we be going first?" Lucas asked,
"We will be heading for the farm, so far we have created several kinds of fertilizer mixtures to aid the growth of our crops. I am going to inspect each site to see the progress" Masaru explained as he led Lucas out of the Mansion while the two of them were walking.
"Do you always inspect?" Lucas asked as he felt Masaru was being pretentious by 'showing' how he goes out to inspect, he met many of these kinds of nobles who act like they are saviours but in fact are mostly tyrants.
"I only inspect when I can, sometimes I have no choice to ask one of my peerage members to inspect it in my place. Sometimes seeing things explains more than reading a report" Masaru said as he could faintly guess why the question was asked.
Lucas nodded, he did not want to ask more about this since the answer Masaru gave him was already out of his expectations. Many would answer that they do, however, Masaru's answer was more realistic. "If you don't mind me asking why are you holding an engagement party despite already announced you're engaged with the girls?"
[Yes! You stole my Sona!]
[No My Akeno-chan!]
[Someone, please call the FBI there a lolicon on the loose!]
[Commentator above, we don't have any Federal Bureau of Investigation Agencies! We do have the Military though!]
[Get tanks to arrest this lolicon then!]
Masaru read the comment before chuckling, "It's no secret people vie for my girls, many of them are jealous and would do anything they can to get these girls from me. If my girls loved someone else I would support them with my whole heart, however, they chose me and as their chosen man I feel I need to make a proper stand for everyone to see their mine"
[Naturally their beautiful and should be shared]
[But you are keeping to yourself]
[Hohoho, now that's my boy living this old man's dream]
[We need some more 'research' materials!]
[Where is Shirone? My lolicon heart is breaking!]
[Man above, you truly are a man of culture *thumbs up.jpg*
Lucas asked, he was quite curious about the timing since Masaru could have done this ages ago. "But why now?"
Masaru nodded as he expected this question, he glanced at the fields they were passing by. From the looks of it, the fertilizers were doing their work "Because back then when I first returned to the Family after my father found me, it was a Baron Household. It was warm and filled with love, but we were suppressed by many people so we had no choice to endure."
Stopping near the field, Masaru knelt down as he took a bit of the soil tasted it while toying with the rest between his fingers. Nodding he continued "It was only when I became acquainted with the Devil Kings I knew I could slowly display my dignity and pride, but I still needed to watch what I do or say till I reached the stage where I am now. Now I no longer need to watch my actions, as long as I know I am right, then I will do what I say"
[That's my boy! That's my grandson right there!]
[Are you male or female?]
Lucas nodded, feeling this boy really endured quite a few years of hardship. 'I have misjudged him huh?' "This is one of the questions most people wanted to ask since everyone is curious of how you met each of the girls in your peerage?"
Masaru looked at Lucas causing the latter to flinch, his eyes squinted before he sighed as he stood up after explaining to the farmer that he can carry on and should notify him if anything is wrong. The audiences who were watching were anticipating to know just why and how these girls refuse to let go of Masaru Belial.
Masaru glanced at Lucas before saying, "I can answer that, but there will be information omitted as I hope you can respect their privacy. If they share the story themselves I will not stop it"
Lucas nodded as he was eager to know, since the condition was accepted, Masaru spoke of how he grew up with Shirone, how he saved Akeno but not where or how, how he saved Stephani. Each of his stories of how he met the girls was quite entertaining.
"I heard Akeno has a peculiar fetish?" Lucas asked a question that was brought up on the comment screen.
"That is personal, although I can understand people are curious of such things but that is definitely something private so I will not answer" Masaru responded
"From your last Rating Game against Diodora, your girls were overwhelmingly powerful. I can tell that the amount of training they had done much be strenuous, could you give us a summary?" Lucas asked
"Body exercising like hundred Push up, hundred setups, hundred squats and 10 or more kilometre jog," Masaru said with a smile causing Lucas to almost slip of the ground.
"That is the basic minimum when the girls started. Afterwards, the amount increased, as well as gravity magic was applied. Most would ignore training your bodies, I will tell you a magician's fatal weakness is their weak body. Although many say they can kill their opponent before they can reach them, but I know two people who can punch magic" Masaru said with a smirk.
"Who?"
"Sairaorg and I" Masaru said with a smile before continuing, "There are many ways to gain power, it all depends on the determination of the person. Even a low-class warrior can train their body to become Ultimate Class, it has been proven several times now"
Masaru and Lucas arrived at the farm he had to inspect today since it was a family-owned farm, Masaru knelt down gathering a bit of soil before rubbing it while it fell off his hands like sands.
"Sir Belial, the soil has been improving but it's slower compared to the other farms" The farmer responsible for the fields came to address Masaru when he noticed him, he completely ignored Lucas since his fields were more important.
"Hmm... Have you tried the other fertilizer in another location" Masaru asked,
"Yes, however, this one is the fastest to treat the soil. The others are too slow and there is quite a few that made no progress" The farmer explained,
"Let's try" Masaru said as he gathered his demonic energy within his palms before pressing it against the ground, when the released the energy into the ground a pulse of light in the form or a circle began to ripple with Masaru as the centre. "Enchant!"
Swoosh!
It did not take long for the crops that were only budlings to start showing signs of growing faster, the Farmer clapped his hands, Lucas glanced in surprise while the audiences were all shocked at what happened.
"Thank you Lord!" The Farmer thanked Masaru profusely before Masaru and Lucas could leave.
"Your people admire you greatly" Lucas commented,
[Ofcourse! That's my grandson!]
"I simply wish to be a good lord for the people who live in the territory of the Belial Family. It is because of the people who live in our territory, each person is bringing forth achievements that uplifts the territory. And I want to bring my part as the heir, that's all there is to it" Masaru said with a smile.
[To think Masaru would actually go visit Farmers... It never happens in our territory]
[I am not sure about you all, but I saw Masaru visit several towns and villages just to check if everything is fine with everyone. I can't help but support this boy, he is still young but he is quite responsible as the Heir of the Belial Family]
[It makes me proud I chose him to be the next lord of our Belial Family, he never fails to exceed my expectations]
[BLOOD! BLOOD! We the Blood VIllage is here to Support!]
[Don't forget our Poison Dragon Pork! We the Poison village is here to support as well!]
[Damn the Masaru Fanatics has arrived!]
[What's up with the blood and poison though? I do like the Poison Dragon Pork though!]
[Brother above, you eat that and still live? *salute.jpg*]
While Masaru was eliminating the pest along the way to aid farmers although they were not part of the inspection, Lucas was questioning one of the workers of their views of Masaru. But never would he imagined how excited these workers would get to speak of their young master.
Masaru is not only approachable, but he is also reasonable to listen to complaints and even comes to help them often with problems like this since it really is difficult to kill persistent pests of the underworld so fast because it will soon be harvest season.
Soon Akeno teleported to the scene, seeing this Lucas went over to ask her questions as well.
"Miss Akeno Himejima! It's an honour to meet you. My name is Lucas Hugo, I am current live streaming Sir Masaru belial's daily life. I hope you won't mind if I could ask you some questions?" Lucas asked
Masaru glanced at Akeno only to see a familiar glint flashed in her eyes, he closed his eyes and sighed 'Out of sight, out of mind'
"Could you tell us why have you fallen for Masaru Belial?" Lucas asked straightforwardly,
[YES! Tell us!]
[That man is a womanizer! He has so many girls!]
[Although we support him if he was a novel character, but the reality is simply too cruel!!!]
"Fufu, if you know that my master once saved me. But not only he saved me, he allowed my family to safely reunite. If I were to let go of such a wonderful man, then I would be a fool" Akeno said with a bright smile, "Even if Master gains numerous women as part of his harem, I will only be loyal to him and him alone"
[Fufu, it is quite interesting to watch this]
[AHHH!!! My heart!]
[I'm dying!]
[Someone please call the ambulance! We got several men down!]
[Let us have a moment of peace to our fellow comrades!]
[Ah sorry everyone, I thought it was my heart that was cramping but in fact it was my stomach. Almost shat myself there]
[Brave man to type such a humiliating thing online or is that a Smurf account?]
[Smurf]
[+1]
"Urk!" Lucas flinched at the intensity of Akeno's smile, it was only now he realized that he should not have challenged the boundary of Masaru and his girl's private relationship. It was fine to ask about it, but he should have watched how he asked it.
Akeno did not hold back to answer everything and even declaring her body is his which caused a massive uproar.
>\/<
"So-tan! Your fiancee is on DeviTube!!" Serafall enjoyed the current Sona who was showing off more expressions than her stoic face, Sona was still not used to displaying her facial expressions toward her sister but she did not reject her sister's hug.
"I know, I am currently watching as well" Sona shows her cellphone to Serafal who smiled broader,
"It's because your elder sister made him the Demon King" Sona who heard this blushed, she still remembered Masaru how he looked like when wearing that outfit and she could not help but think he looked really handsome.
"Sister, could you have father arrange for me to visit a few farms as well," Sona asked politely shocking her sister to almost burst out a nosebleed from how adorable Sona's face was when she asked a favour.
'I really have to thank Masaru, but is he trying to kill me instead!?' Serafall was really happy for her sister so she easily got their father to arrange the carriage when they watch Sona leave, Oraman gaze at his phone playing the stream of Masaru currently dealing with the pests alongside the farmers.
"People will think this is simply prepared" Oraman sighed, he knew how the Devils will respond to this, Serafall said nothing and only smiled as she knew as long as those people keep quiet about his girls Masaru would not be bothered with how people view him. He rather spends his time as he does now, simply living peacefully while training for his dream.
"But he does have influence over Sona much more than the girl believes" Sonia spoke while smiling at the departing little daughter of hers, she felt Sona was more relaxed and much more expressive,
"We got a brilliant son-in-law" She commented but never would they believe how evil some would get when Masaru became too famous.
>\/<
After helping the farmers Masaru was walking alongside Akeno and Lucas who was interviewing the two of them, yet oddly Akeno left and soon Ingvild appeared next to Masaru, even Masaru was a bit bewildered at this setup but he kept himself composed as he knew his girls probably have a reason for this.
"Miss Ingvild, my name is Lucas Hugo. It's an honour to meet the Queen of Belial peerage" Lucas introduced himself,
Ingvild curtsied politely "Pleasure to meet you, I'm Ingvild Leviathan, Fiancee of Masaru Belial"
She spoke politely and the attention was shifted to Ingvild who was asked questions allowing Masaru to have some free time to speak with the Manager to see how this town was doing.
[Ingvild is really a queen! Look how beautiful she is!]
[Marry me!]
[You want to die!?]
[Ah! Those breasts!]
[Issei get off the phone, my mother wants to continue her lessons!]
[Oh boy, someone got exposed!]
"Is Masaru always doing this?" Lucas asked while looking at Masaru, Ingvild smile while nodding.
"He always gets reports and follows up on some of them on his own, he enjoys interacting with people and seeing things for himself instead of looking at the paper" Lucas nodded before asking Ingvild some questions about the girls, but suddenly the door was kicked open and a woman with a bulging stomach came walking quite fast towards Masaru with a glare.
"Who is this girl?" One of the guests spoke,
[Looks like trouble]
"Masaru! How dare you leave me after making me pregnant!" The woman shouted as she pointed at Masaru,
[Called it!]
[The hell!?]
[A Scandal! People we got a show to watch, *Set up camp chair.jpg*]
[Where's the popcorn? I got the beer here! *Selfie with beer.jpg*]
[I got some pork jerkies! *Poison Dragon Pork Jerky pack.jpg*]
[That's good enough]
[The Demon King had committed Adultery!?]
[Ma-kun you owe me an explanation for this!!! You dare to cheat on my So-tan!?]
[Oh boy he even summoned the real devil king to appear!]
When everyone heard this they were shocked, even Masaru raised his eyebrow looking at this unfamiliar girl wondering if she lost her mind or something.
"Don't get me wrong, but I don't know you and how did I come about having a child with you?" Masaru asked politely as he did not want to aggravate this woman and cause a miscarriage, he did not want to stain his reputation or his girl's dignity.
[Good question! But we know you did meet her!]
[But what if he really didn't? You know those crazy women would get themselves pregnant and then throw themselves onto celebrities]
The girl began breathing roughly, "You left me after a year we had a relationship! If it was not for Diodora who told me where I could find you, I would have been lost!"
[Oh! Diodora got mixed in!? Could it be the legendary Triangle love?]
[Is this woman fine running like this while being pregnant?]
Masaru nodded with a serious expression, "I see if that is the case I will contact the Sitri Family to move you to their top-grade hospital to assist you to give birth if that is really my child I will take responsibility. But if it's not, I hope you will know that the cost of the medical fees will be on your shoulders. I am not scared to send several reporters to watch over you to ensure I will not cause any scandals, is this arrangement fine with you?"
[How cruel!!! But it was a smart move]
[If her story is true then it's fine, but if she lied... This is one hell of a trap]
[This is the Demon King for you!]
[Master is so cool nya!]
The girl was taken aback, she thought he would argue with her then she could damage her uterus with demonic energy to cause a miscarriage and blame it all on Masaru but not only did he prevent it, he even took responsibility for it but if it comes out that it was not his child then she was screwed.
Lucas was surprised at this exchange, he turned to Ingvild "Are you not angry?" this question was something the audiences were also worried about.
[Yes leave the Demon King and come to me!]
[Poor Ingvild, she has to witness the demon king's adultery!]
[Heh, my daughters-in-law will not admit defeat to such a low level ploy]
Ingvild smiled, "I am not certain but have none of you realize what master asked? He said he would take care of the medical fees and take responsibility IF it is his child but the lady is struggling with an answer... I am sure you all know what this means"
[Whoa! This beauty is cruel as well!?]
[The pure Ingvild has been destroyed! But I like this part of her too!]
[That's my girl!]
The girl who heard this chose Ingvild as her target "You bitch! You dare say this is not his child!?"
She wanted to circulate her demonic energy but for some reason she could not, Masaru already restricted her energy circulation with his spellbook which will last a few hours that will give him and Ingvild enough time to disappear as he knew this was a trap set by Diodora who lost his peerage.
The girl turned to look at Masaru who looked at her with scorn, "You can forget about using your energy to destroy your own child... You think your and Diodora's trick can work in front of me?" Hearing this the girl's face became pale, Masaru snorted feeling disgusted.
[What!?]
[SO it really was Diodora? Just how far is that noble willing to go for losing a match?]
[I heard it from a friend, but the world of the Nobles is far crueller than the lives of us commoners]
[Ara? Now that's my son-in-law! Never lose face for the Belial or Sitri family!]
"I know you are one of Diodora's local girls which he uses as sex relief when he goes out" Masaru said as he called Ulrika who shortly delivered a massive report, taking the file he threw it on the table.
"This is the complete investigation report which includes the relationship between you and Diodora, including the DNA test that proves the child if Diodora's" Masaru said nonchalantly.
[The hell!?]
[Bro upstairs, can you say something different to express your surprise? But it sure got interesting]
[He had her investigated and even already had a DNA test result!?]
[How efficient!]
[Hahahaha, Masaru ignore the woman and come over for a spar! My fists are itching!]
When the people heard this a massive uproar was created within the shop as well as the DeviTube,
[This woman sure is cruel, trying to frame Demon King by killing her child]
[Sigh, this world surely won't change that easily]
It did not take long for Medical Personnel to arrive which Masaru arranged.
"Sir, we are from the Sitri Hospital" One of the Paramedic arrived along with several guards who controlled the woman from running or making any dangerous movements.
"I want you to accommodate the lady in giving birth, I will notify Lady Serafall to arrange the government to take custody of the child and seek proper parents that will look after it" Masaru said as he glanced coldly at the woman.
"I doubt she will be able to, but if she can prove that she will be able to look after the child properly then there will be no need to separate her from her child" Masaru said with a sigh, he turned around and bowed towards everyone politely before standing straight.
"I apologize for what my rival has caused you all, today's meals and drinks is on me!" Masaru declared,
"YES!"
[But no drinks and food for us!]
[It may be cruel, but for the first time, I have witnessed a true lord. I look forward to the future and see how he will lead his territory. Just from this display, he has proven he cares about life and is willing to take responsibility for his actions. However, he is not naive enough to be pushed around.]
[Decisive and kind, as expected my granddaughter chose someone suited to be her husband. If only her venom tongue would be purified]
[Grandfather, please don't pollute the stream with your comments and drink your tea]
[How cruel!]
Everyone began to cheer while Masaru took his seat next to Ingvild, he took her hand feeling a bit nervous as this kind of attacks were meant to drive a wedge between him and the girls.
"I never imagined you would get pushed like this" Lucas spoke feeling a bit shocked at how ruthless some nobles could be.
[Such a thing is required, even when you become a Devil King like me it's a daily affair. If only I can see Ria-tan!]
[Sirzech, there is more papers to sign. Please log off]
[EH!?]
Masaru smiled wryly as he brought Ingvild's hand to his chest in order to calm his nerves, he was truly nervous in dealing with this incident. He was lucky that he was prepared for something to happen during his live stream. "I'm used to being targeted by rival families all the time, even when the girls in my peerage joined up the number of families who targetted me in the past was quite a lot. However, today was really an eye-opener since this was the first time I experienced this kind of situation"
"Is this really normal for nobles?" Lucas asked this question for the sake of the audience, since it happened on his live broadcast he could now ask questions that were not supposed to be asked.
"Not really, it is just that you get some people that are too persistent that they would use any means necessary to get or do what they want. No need to worry over this incident because for me, as long as the girls are fine I can endure anything they bring my way" Masaru said,
[That's right, otherwise, I will take back Everest if you can't handle this much pressure]
[Father, I will not speak with you anymore]
[NOOOOOOOOO!!!!]
'But he will be killed in a few months anyway, might as well let it go for now so he could prove useful for us to catch him' he thought.
The rest of the day was quite peaceful after Masaru dealt with the situation properly the people's support for him grew even stronger, they felt awe towards his responsible demeanour when it comes to pregnancy.
When Masaru finally split from Lucas who completed his interview, he immediately contacted Ulrika "Where is the location of Diodora?"
Ulrika responded, "According to one of our spies, he is at Khaos Brigade, from the looks of his face he is waiting for you to arrive and create trouble"
Masaru nodded, "Then let's ignore him. Just wanted to know where he was if he does something like this again I might break something important"
Ulrika giggled she knew why he was like this since she too watched the live stream, "Reward?"
Masaru chuckled a bit before teleporting to where Ulrika was to give her a little reward.
>\/<
"He finally achieved enough, Grayfia please make arrangement for his certificate for him" Sirzech spoke before placing down his cellphone as he too was following the entire stream, he never expected to see Masaru carry on with his life like normal instead of trying to hype up since the only requirement he needed for his Political Rank Promotion was a bit more popularity.
"I will get it done" Grayfia bowed before teleporting away, Azazel also followed this stream while sitting opposite of Sirzech.
"From the looks of it Masaru managed to aggravate Diodora enough to make him take action, Diodora even asked for his father's peerage as a temporary team so he can continue his battle with Rias" Sirzech spoke looking at this nosy person,
"Heh, the reason I chose to train your sister is because of the Sekiryuutei and also because Masaru does not need an advisor, you saw his training clips yourself." Azazel said with a smirk, he was surprised to see Masaru's training menu covered almost everything. All he could do was teach them new things which was not much.
Sirzech nodded, the only reason he felt a bit relieved to let his sister become a bait again was that Azazel was helping them all train in their respective directions while giving advises to cover their weaknesses.
"I just feel a bit horrible using the kids like this" Azazel spoke in a rare regret tone shocking even Sirzech but he smiled,
"You sure have changed" Azazel only chuckled hearing this.
>\/<
Later that night Masaru was getting dressed for the engagement party that was being held in the Belial Territory Capital City, his attire was modest but his aura as a dignified king was no less. Checking that his clothes were neat and dressed, Masaru went down the stairs where his father was waiting for him.
From the arrangement, he and the girls will be arriving separately.
"It has been a few years but you made it official at last" Diehause spoke to his son, Masaru felt happy especially so tonight that he could spent a special night together with the girls.
"Well, I have to give them a proper engagement where no one will look down on them" Diehauser nodded as he could understand this boy of his was just like him as they climbed into the Limousine travelling towards the Hotel where it was arranged, it was a short trip.
They arrived at the largest Hotel which was under the control of the Belial Family, Reporters were at both sides snapping photos, since there was a bit of time Masaru answered a few questions before heading inside.
The number of people he invited was small in quantity but the Quality was exceedingly high which is normally only a privilege for those in the leader of their respective race positions.
Masaru first went over to greet Odin and Amaterasu along with a few other Gods who came for his engagement party, he made sure to thank them all and even some began to ask him for business trading to which he said they could discuss this the next day.
From the Fallen Angels, it was only Azazel while Shuri was currently waiting for her Husband to show up soon, Sirzech was here together with Grayfia and Okita Souji Masaru's teachers, Serafall naturally came tonight while wearing her Magical Girl outfit since Masaru told them there was no restriction on the clothes they wear.
Rias, Sairaorg, Seekvaira along with their peerages were there to attend as well, Masaru only realized how many people became a part of his life. He greeted everyone personally till his girls all came wearing beautiful white dresses led with Sona in the lead.
"My little sister looks so beautiful!" Serafall was caught by Grayfia who blocked her bleeding nose with a tissue, everyone was clapping while some were whistling.
But each girl was escorted, Akeno came in with her father, Ingvild came in with Diana, Shirone came in together with Grandma Calfa, Stephani came in with her grandmother Caroline, Ichika came in with her grandfather Warren, Yui came in with Misla Bael, Everest came in with Tiamat instead of her father since her aunt might throw a rampage if she was not the one to bring her in.
Angelica was escorted by her father who rarely comes out of the forest where the elves live, Sakura was being escorted by Julia, Jeanne by Edward, Ulrika was escorted by a family member while Sona was taking the lead escorted with her father.
Masaru first spoke with the person escorting them, it was a typical promise between parent/guardian that he will protect this girl for a lifetime but Masaru promised for eternity as he knew he will always be with them in this life and in the next for always.
He gave each girl with a gentle kiss and when he welcomed each girls they went to another round of greeting with everyone while leading the girls.
That night it was really lively and enjoyable making Masaru felt he could have done this sooner, but this was just perfect when he saw the smile on everyone's faces.
'I will reach the top where none can touch me so I can protect this world and its people's smile, the place where I dictate my own fate' He thought
