"Shh..." Badr whispered, a gentle smile on his face. "Time for bed, my beautiful princesses."
Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba, who were still awake, paused. Their mother used to say the same thing…
The unexpected tenderness brought a hint of emotion to their eyes.
Just then, Itsuki, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly sat up.
She seemed uncomfortable, instinctively clutching at her clothes as if to take them off…
"No way!"
Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba, all too familiar with Itsuki's sleepwalking habit of stripping, sprang into action, tackling her back onto the futon.
Itsuki: "Huh?"
Badr: "..."
He sighed, watching the now-awake Itsuki. He had just managed to get everyone to sleep…
It took until 1:30 am before everyone finally succumbed to exhaustion…
…
The next morning, Badr woke up to find someone snuggled beside him.
He opened his eyes, taking in the peaceful sleeping face of the beautiful girl.
Uh… which one was this?
The quintuplets' resemblance was truly uncanny, especially when they were asleep. Even Badr couldn't immediately tell who had crawled into his futon.
He glanced to the side. Itsuki's sleeping posture, as always, was…unique. Her own bed was empty, and she was now occupying Nino's spot.
The sisters had chosen their sleeping arrangements based on age the night before. Now, thanks to Itsuki's sleepwalking, it seemed everyone had shifted around.
Given the circumstances, the most likely candidate was the one closest to him last night…
Badr made a guess:
Itsuki?
…
On the train ride home, Itsuki's face was still flushed, unable to meet Badr's gaze.
She had somehow ended up in his bed during the night. The scene when everyone woke up had been chaotic, to say the least.
Her four sisters had stared at her, making her want to disappear into the floor.
She had fallen asleep listening to Badr's story and had no idea how she'd gotten there.
As they journeyed home, the quintuplets felt a pang of sadness, knowing they probably wouldn't see Badr again until after summer break.
"Message us when you get back, and be safe," Ichika said with a gentle smile, adopting a wifely tone.
"Don't worry, time flies. You all focus on your studies," Badr replied, kissing each of them on the cheek. He waved goodbye as they blushed, then activated a teleportation circle and disappeared.
Time passed quickly, and summer break finally arrived. It was the last day of school.
The students were excited, eagerly anticipating their long-awaited vacation.
"So, Asia, what are your plans for the summer? Any trips planned?" Kiryuu Aika asked, her usual cheerful self. She was Asia and Xenovia's closest friend at school.
"Well… I've never had such a long break before, so I'm not sure…" Asia replied, a mix of nervousness and excitement in her voice.
Life as a Devil was drastically different from anything she had experienced before.
Xenovia nodded in agreement. Her time in the Church had been filled with restrictions. Embracing her demonic nature had freed her, allowing her to experience the joys of life.
Now, she could follow her desires without fear of being cast out for her "fallen" nature. It was a liberating feeling.
…
Back at the Occult Research Clubroom, Badr had finished his day's work early and returned to the club.
He had already spoken with the Nakano sisters. Mai was busy filming and they had only managed a brief meeting. He had also fulfilled his "boyfriend" duties with Yor, and now he could use "business trips" as an excuse to visit the Underworld.
With all his arrangements in place, Badr breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally travel to the Underworld without worry.
A teleportation circle appeared, and Rias and Akeno, having finished their own preparations, returned. The club members were all assembled.
"Is everyone ready?" Rias asked with a smile.
They all nodded. Rias activated her magic, opening a portal.
"Follow me, everyone. Sona and the others are waiting for us."
Stepping through the portal, Badr found himself in a bustling train station.
"President, where are we…?" Asia asked curiously, looking around.
"This is the city's train station," Rias replied, gesturing towards the signs.
Badr frowned slightly, wondering why they needed to be at a train station to go to the Underworld.
Could there be a train to the Underworld? It was quite different from what he had imagined.
"I thought we'd at least use some kind of dimensional gap."
Rias giggled. "Maintaining a dimensional gap is resource-intensive. It's much more convenient to merge with a human train station like this. We can even outsource the maintenance."
Badr: "…That makes sense."
Following Rias, they boarded a train…
"Don't be fooled by its appearance." Akeno explained, sensing their curiosity. "It's a special express train to the Underworld, not for public use."
Badr had already noticed the powerful magic circles etched onto the train cars.
Footsteps approached, and a beautiful woman with short hair entered with her peerage.
"Rias, you made it."
"Why is Student Council President Sona here as well?" Xenovia asked curiously.
"The Underworld is Big. Rias is returning home, so we're just hitching a ride," Sona replied with a smile. She looked at Rias with amusement. "Are you ready?"
"...Ready for what?" Rias blushed, feigning ignorance.
Sona chuckled, glancing meaningfully at Badr, her smile turning playful.
Sometimes, she envied Rias. She had picked up a real gem of a servant, incredibly powerful and utterly devoted to her.
Having such a servant would certainly save a lot of trouble…
The train started moving, pulling into the void as Badr and the others watched in fascination.
"It takes about an hour to reach the Underworld. The train is currently passing through the dimensional wall. Everyone, please relax and rest for now," Rias announced.
They all nodded, and Rias went off to chat with Sona.
Seeing Asia and Xenovia gazing out the window at the strange and vibrant scenery of the dimensional gap, Badr smiled gently. They were clearly enjoying themselves.
He then noticed Koneko Toujou sitting alone, looking lost in thought. He tilted his head in concern.
He approached her and sat down, gently wrapping an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close.
"What's on your mind?" he asked softly.
"...Nothing," Koneko mumbled, her lips moving as if to say more, but the words wouldn't come.
"It's okay to share your worries, you know," Badr said with a gentle smile.
"I know," Koneko replied with a weak smile.
Concerned, Badr reassured her, "You don't have to worry about any trouble. I'm confident I can handle most problems for you now."
He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips.
…
Indeed, Badr had become incredibly powerful.
But what he didn't understand was that his very strength was putting pressure on Koneko.
She wanted to become stronger too, to be useful to her peerage.
However, her own talent...
Koneko sighed inwardly, leaning against Badr, unwilling to elaborate.
Seeing this, Badr decided not to press her further, making a mental note to be more attentive to her emotional state in the future.
A short while later, Akeno approached.
"Badr, I've already reminded Asia and Xenovia. You'll need to register your identity with the conductor as well."
Badr chuckled. "There's immigration procedures too?"
"Of course. Without registration, you'll be considered an illegal immigrant. You should learn more about devil society."
"...Alright, I don't want to end up in a Devil jail."
Akeno giggled. "Don't worry, the Underworld is quite similar to the human world in many ways. However… the rules regarding relations with your Master are a bit different. Let's just say there might be penalties~"
"Hmm?"
Badr tilted his head. "Really?"
If that were true, he would definitely be arrested.
After all, he was intimately familiar with every inch of his Master, Rias, body…
Why couldn't low-class devils be intimate with their Masters? It seemed like blatant discrimination.
Akeno smiled seductively. "I don't know for sure, but intimate contact between peerage members is perfectly fine, like this…"
She sat down on Badr's lap, taking his hand and placing it on her thigh.
The smooth, soft feel of her skin sent a jolt through him.
Akeno gazed at him seductively, drawing his attention to the hem of her skirt. Her meaning was clear.
