Chapter 109: *Hidden Title*
News of Masaru and the girls' engagement spread throughout the lands of the Devils since most people would watch stream videos of DeviTube the story of how Masaru met each girl became quite the highlight making it a tad bit difficult for the girls to leave the house while Masaru was simply ignoring the situation since School was around the corner.
He had to set up a few preparations since he was certain Diodora will be making his move soon from the state Khaos Brigade at the Old Satan Faction side was currently.
When Masaru went to check up on how the plans were going it appears Shalba was being distant to Masaru while Creserey was closer, "Why is he avoiding me?"
"Well the fact Diodora exposed himself so openly made it quite complicated, we originally wanted to strike when the time was right but now we are forced to move earlier because Diodora just went off to propose to Asia in public before she left the Devil World" Creserey said with a disgusted look on his face, he never accepted Diodora since he felt such a man was not even worthy of being his slave.
Masaru caress his chin thinking for a moment then nod, "Please tell Shalba that I apologize, I know he won't bother listening to me so I can only ask this of you Lord Creserey"
Creserey was smiling quite happily that his boy was treating him as the boss, but never he would imagine this so-called subordinate of his was actually a spy. Masaru, however, went to the same teleportation circle sending himself to the Headquarters.
Before he realized it he was hugged from behind and he could feel soft objects pressing against his back, but he knew who it was when a black tail curled around his wrist.
"I missed you nyan!" Kuroka gently nibbled Masaru's neck, he could feel her love and loneliness from not being able to meet him but he knew better than anyone this naughty cat prefers to be free to go around. He turned around pulling her closer to him by hugging her waist.
"I missed you too" Masaru gently kissed Kuroka's lips causing the girl to blush slightly as she was normally the one to prefer to attack but not getting attacked, she still felt happy being in the arms of her beloved so she rests her head against his chest but before she could react a ring was already placed on her finger.
"You do remember huh?" Kuroka spoke teasingly but Masaru gently caress her face looking at her with warmth and love,
"I always do, if you were similar to Shirone I would have preferred to keep you at my side" Kuroka giggled when she heard this,
"I'm not a house cat like Shirone, I am more of a stray" Kuroka said with a teasing smile,
Masaru gently tighten his hug, Kuroka felt his gaze could eat her up from the way he was looking at her. "Don't call yourself a stray, your adventurous"
Masaru gently corrected her causing the naughty cat to nod obediently, they stayed like this for a while longer before Kuroka had to leave for her team.
"Never expected the Wonder Child would have such a close relationship with a member of Vali's team" Cao Cao spoke suddenly from the corner of the hall.
Masaru simply looked at his odd hero who is simply a stubborn child, "Why is it every time you look at me, it is with pity" Cao Cao asked as he was not sure how to take this gaze he was met with,
Masaru sighed, "Because I pity you, how you don't understand what it means to be a Hero while masquerading as one"
Masaru walked but stop at his side, "I don't care what you and the one behind you are planning, but I suggest you don't think about touching my girls"
Cao Cao could feel a strong intense yet strange killing intent flowing from this boy's body, unlike those who were oppressive or dominating, Masaru's killing intent was slow but very cold, like a cat eyeing it's prey to toy with it slowly before killing it.
'His dangerous... More so than Vali' Cao Cao calculated while looking at Masaru was already gone far ahead.
Masaru was currently heading towards one of the offices where Qlippoth operates from on the surface, in front of him was a witch who appears to be in her 20s with short hair adorned with numerous ribbons wearing a purple Gothic lolita outfit. From the look on her face, she was a real sadist in the wrong way.
"What do you want here?" She looked at Masaru, her name was Walburga currently she was scheming to kill a fallen Angel Hybrid to steal the Longinus Incinerate Anthem from her.
Masaru caught wind of this but did not want to get involved just yet, "I am looking for one of your leaders as I would like to confirm the objectives and plans to support Diodora"
"I know of your little history with Diodora, how can we be sure you won't destroy our plans?" She asks while Masaru was quite patient as he knew it will be questioned, his loyalty.
"If I held back I would be discovered, those Devil Kings are not stupid and they know of my strength more or less. Besides Diodora dig a hole for himself when he offended me in the first place" Masaru said nonchalantly, he knew if he kept a don't care attitude then he will not get exposed since this was how he conducted him since the start.
Walburga nodded her head smiling sinisterly, "You want to torture him?"
Masaru shook his head, "Have no such intentions, just want to ensure the mission is complete so I can get myself rid of the Satans"
Walburga sighed feeling a bit frustrated, "Well you're out of luck, the leader is out but here are the plans" She handed over the documents that were prepared for Masaru since he was a key part of it.
When Masaru got the document he said his goodbyes, but Walburga would never imagine her next meeting with him will be her last.
'Incinerate Anthem, I knew it will be that. From the information I have from Azazel and Ulrika, I probably have to get involved in this as well' Masaru thought while looking at the document Walburga had in her hands.
It was the information of the current wielder of that Longinus and from the looks of it, she will be aiming for it. He immediately contacted Ulrika to have some spies monitor Walburga's movements, it may be cowardly but if the information is correct he would not mind adding that girl into his peerage since she had a Sacred Gears which was a Longinus. Or take the Longinus for himself.
>\/<
When Masaru came home he saw Calfa, Diana, Shuri, Caroline Adramelech, Sonia Sitri were talking together with the girls in the lounge, he did not want to disturb them so he went on ahead till he was caught by his mother who already sensed her son's arrival.
"Not greeting Mom?" Diana asked.
Masaru who heard this scratch the back of his head before turning around to give Diana a hug causing her to feel extremely happy but still dragged Masaru into the Lounge where the girls were.
"oh Masaru, you came back from work?" Calfa smiled when she saw Masaru who came in together with Diana,
"Yes, I was just about to report to father. Good Afternoon Mothers-in-aw and Grandmother-in-law" Masaru bowed politely.
Shuri and Sonia was quite happy that this boy still remains the same even when his status changed, Sonia smiled quite teasingly "I am quite surprised you would declare your engagement with Sona so openly, I thought you would keep quiet about her till the engagement party"
Masaru smiled wryly, "I don't discriminate, if I do for one I do for all"
Masaru took his seat next to Calfa since his grandmother missed him quite a bit after being busy helping Cleria with her son.
"When will the wedding be held?" Sonia asked, even Sona who was there sudden blushed beet red.
Masaru smiled warmly, "I only intend to marry the girls once we finished high school, we are still young and our lives are long ahead so waiting a year or two is fine"
Sona who heard Masaru's answer sigh with relief but then she scolded herself for having little faith in Masaru,
Shuri's question came afterwards, "I see, but how do you want the wedding?"
Masaru could only nervously chuckled at Shuri's question, "I would like to ask for the girls to decide, it will be their most important day in their lives and for me. Their happiness is my priority"
"So this is my grandson-in-law?" Caroline said as she glanced at Masaru before showing a thumb up to Stephani, "Nice catch girl!" Causing Stephani to blush.
The ladies nodded thinking this boy was really smart, leaving the decision and planning to the girls gave him some brownie points. While the ladies began to speak quite excitedly about the wedding, Masaru made his exit by proposing to make them some tea so the ladies let him go. Masaru gave them a last look seeing how they were happily chatting before entering the kitchen to make them some tea.
>\/<
Day passes by and Masaru along with the girls went back to school, the opening ceremony has already ended and Kuou Academy has begun the September event, the preparation for the Sports Festival.
There were no many things that happened other than Masaru who came to play chess with Sona became a daily thing permanently that even the students were all speculating that the Student Council President has fallen under the temptations of the Demon King Masaru, but while everything was normal for Masaru and the rest.
It was a hard time for Rias and her peerage, after Diodora appeared in front of them with a confident look, he proposed to Asia and had an argument with Issei.
Masaru was now signing of reports, from the looks of it the boys finally stopped their useless complaints and the number of perverts was diving down rapidly although he still had a problem dealing with the perverted trio, his most precious experiment specimen who survived the pranks Masaru kept playing on them.
"Ma-kun, it appears Diodora just went to trade with Rias using his father's peerage members" Masaru who heard this was surprised that the Astaroth Family would not do anything about this,
Masaru asked with a frown, "What did Rias say?"
Akeno smiled, "She refused naturally, she loves Issei so much as well as Asia so it was a natural reaction"
Masaru nodded, however, he was bothered about the fact that Diodora was going this far. 'Does he not put Khaos Brigade in his eyes? What are Shalba's intentions?'
"Contact Ulrika and have her Monitor Asia, I need to know if there is any other stalker following her." Masaru spoke to Akeno,'I might get my hands on Qlippoth if I am lucky, from the looks of it they are involved somehow'
She nodded before heading over to her table to process his order, soon Sona came inside with her chess set as she knew Masaru became quite busy the moment Diodora made his move.
Before they came to the Human world Masaru shared his secret with her and she too demanded to tie the Kissing prayer with him as she was the type if she chooses a man it will be forever him since her woman intuition told her she will be forever cherished.
"So-tan" Masaru spoke warmly towards his fiancee when he saw her coming here filled his heart with warmth, the two of them played their chess while talking.
"Are you sure Rias will be fine?" Sona asked since she knew she could finally know everything about the man she loved and chose, she was now brave enough to ask everything and anything.
"Yeah, Odin will be in charge of her safety. Since the nuns of Diodora is already saved, my girls will be staying in the Belial Territory to ensure things are fine. I have already contacted your parents to prepare themselves for in case" Masaru explained
Sona nodded with a smile, normally such things would only feel like responsibilities of an heir to her but to hear her fiancee was already taking care of her family she felt happy.
"Also, I have arranged with Azazel to have your peerage members equipped with Artificial Sacred Gears and Saji will get an upgrade" Masaru spoke while placing his last piece winning the game,
"You no longer hold back against me huh?" Sona pouted shocking Masaru how cute she is when she acts a bit angry, he stood up walking around his table before placing a kiss on her forehead.
"Also if you need anything just contact the girls since I left most of the operations in their hands so I can focus on investigating something alone" Masaru, he glanced at the window thinking 'I honestly hope I can get their information before my cover is blown, unlike the Hero Faction I can keep an eye on. This group is way too secretive'
Sona nodded shyly before watching Masaru who left the Disciplinary committee building.
Heading off to the Occult Building since he had to meet Michael's representative when he entered the building he could hear that slightly annoying voice of a familiar girl he once confused in the past, when he entered the room he could see Rias and her peerage along with Azazel were welcoming Irina.
"EH!? Why are you late!" Irina pouted while she scolded Masaru,
"Before you scold me, did you find your answer about forgiveness?" Masaru asked with a playful smile
Hearing this Irina remembered the day he once asked her, "Killing innocents is bad!"
Masaru nodded knowing he diverted her attention for a moment so he could enter the room. Getting this girl to forget what she wanted to say or do was too simple.
"Yo Masaru, want a drink?" Masaru smirked as he took his seat next to Azazel but what he took was a glass of juice,
"Man, your a party pooper" Azazel complained but he was smiling,
"You want me to get reported? You will get fired and I will get expelled hahaha" Masaru chuckled.
Masaru greeted everyone in the room but he could see Asia and Issei were gloomy, Rias was complicated while he could see a trace of envy within her eyes.
"So Michael sent you here to support us?" Masaru spoke with Irina who snapped out of her self-debate
"Yeah! Michael made me his Ace!" Irina brought out her angel wings doing a cute pose, Masaru nodded with a serious face then looked at Azazel.
"No wonder you keep thinking about Gabriel" Azazel who heard this almost choke in his own drink as he did not expect this kind of attack.
Masaru enjoyed his company with them before he left after having his share of conversations, looking at him leave Azazel felt a bit complicated when he looked at the note Masaru left him. It was a message from Vali saying that he was fine.
'Sigh... Kids grow up and I am only getting older by the day' Azazel thought while taking a sip of his alcohol.
>\/<
"The rating game has been confirmed" Diodora spoke with Shalba sharing the information he has gotten from the elder council to announce his next match,
"I see, so it will be at this day huh? What about Masaru?" Diodora who heard Shalba's question had a complicated face,
Diodora answered reluctantly, "He did not make a move nor got involved"
Shalba nodded then glared at Diodora, "I told you he is loyal, but because of your nagging he is under the assumption that I no longer trust him and Creserey took him instead"
Shalba felt regretful as he did not take Masaru as his subordinate but Creserey did instead and it was all because of this devil.
"Hmph! I can defeat him since he doesn't have the snake" Diodora boasted but Shalba gave him a look of annoyance, this brat lost even when he used the snake against Masaru's girls!
'No wonder Masaru kept his distance, even I will become an idiot if I stay with this brat any longer' Shalba thought while he was handing out orders for the real attack, it was only when Masaru came here after school he was notified of the day and time they would strike along with which members of the Hero Faction would be joining.
'For now, I managed to get the information of all the Longinus sacred gears within the Hero Faction. Now I just need to get the detailed information of this mission and send it all out' Masaru finally had confirmation, he made sure to make a turn at the headquarters to download the research data about the experiments on the Sacred Gears within the Hero Faction they had almost completed along with several researchers notes.
Once he got all the latest information, he went back home while sending his findings to the respective powers to prepare themselves.
>\/<
When Masaru came home he was met with a group of ladies who were still discussing things best left alone so Masaru went off to cook dinner for them, this was the least he could do to show his support to them since he knew they were enjoying themselves although he would have felt better if they would at least look after themselves.
Only when the delicious fragrance scent in the air invaded their nose did they stop their discussion heading to the Kitchen, what they saw was Masaru still in his school uniform without the blazer but instead a flower pattern apron.
'I should have gone upstairs to get my own' Masaru thought but the girls' eyes were all glued onto his body, he could only smile wryly while continuing to cook a meal for them.
When everyone was eating happily, Masaru noticed his mother's eating habit has changed a bit. He even added a bit more fruits as snacks among the dinner to see if what he thought was correct.
And she did take them the most, a warm smile form on his lips as he kept quiet about what he realized but he is certain his father would be shocked out of his body soon.
