Hearing Sirzechs' question, Serafall nodded. "Maybe!"
"You're not sure yourself?" Sirzechs' lips twitched. But if it really was Eiji, he had no doubt that the young man was capable of killing Lord Bael and all the Devil Council members.
After all, it was Eiji.
His future brother-in-law was not only very strong, stronger than him. He was also his younger sister's fiancé. And had made his ex-wife and his mother the women of his harem.
Thinking of this, Sirzechs felt a little depressed.
Unfortunately there was no remedy for the regret that he had given Grayfia to Eiji in the past.
"Isn't it from the information provided by the Great King Faction that these people have awakened the living weapons created by the original Four Great Devil Kings to kill Eiji?" There was a murderous intent in Serafall's eyes when he said that that made even Sirzechs, Ajuka and Falbium shudder.
How strong was Serafall at this moment?
They did not know.
But, they had the illusion that if they made the woman angry, she could freeze them to death.
"Since they have provoked him, it's natural for him to kill them, right?" Serafall's tone was cheerful again as if the killing intent that gave the other three Great Devil Kings goosebumps was just an illusion.
"Still, the death of all the Devil Council members might..." Sirzechs was about to say the political impact of this matter but Ajuka hurriedly stopped him by grabbing his shoulder and said, "Serafall is right, Lord Bael and all the Devil Council members who rebelled and wanted to destroy peace in the underworld deserve to die."
"Ajuka-chan, glad you understand~!" Serafall then looked at her other two friends with a cute look. "What about Sir-chan and Fal-chan? Do you guys blame Eiji for killing those underworld scum?"
"....." Instead of being asked, Sirzechs and Falbium felt threatened.
Even without Ajuka looking at them as if to say don't make trouble with the current Serafall.
They understood that as long as they blamed Eiji a little, Serafall might get angry and attack them.
What kind of drug was Eiji giving this woman?
"No, Eiji is my future brother-in-law. I'm not blaming him and just a little worried, Serafall."
"Serafall, you know I just want to sleep."
Sirzechs and Falbium basically did not dare to blame Eiji.
Serafall nodded in satisfaction.
If they dared to blame her man, she did not hesitate to beat up these three men who were her best friends.
With the buff of the Master-Servant contract and the accumulated love from Eiji over this time, Serafall was confident. Even if Sirzechs used his true form and turned into a human-shaped Power of Destruction, he was still not her opponent.
...
Meanwhile.
Eiji did not think about the things that happened in the underworld because of his actions. He did not care and believed Serafall would take care of that for him.
This was the convenience he got from having one of the Great Devil Kings of the underworld as his woman.
After flirting with Erina at her shop, Eiji left with the excuse of not wanting to disturb her work.
Erina couldn't believe this and thought Eiji wanted to go see her cousin, Alice or the other pretty girls at school!
However, what could she do?
She was a tsundere and of course she couldn't stop him.
Still, Erina didn't know that instead of meeting pretty girls, Eiji was talking to her grandfather.
"So... What does Erina's grandfather want to talk to me about?"
In a gazebo that was still located in Totsuki Academy, Eiji looked at the muscular old man sitting in front of him curiously.
A moment ago when he walked out of Erina's shop, he met Senzaemon and the other party was surprised before introducing himself as Erina's grandfather. Then, he invited him into his car and brought him to talk here.
"Eiji-kun, my name is Senzaemon Nakiri. It's our first time meeting but I know you are the boy who saved Erina from those who wanted to beat her up in the past."
Unlike when talking to his son-in-law, Senzaemon spoke kindly and gently to Eiji.
"That incident at the restaurant huh... It was just a little effort on my part. Erina and Alice have already given me quite excessive thanks. Senzaemon-san, do you also want to thank me for that? It's not necessary."
Eiji pretended even though he knew what Senzaemon probably wanted to talk to him about.
It must have something to do with the son-in-law who had just ousted him from his position as director of Totsuki Academy.
He was here to ask a favor, not for him, but for...
"I'm also thankful that you saved Erina back then. But that's not what I want to talk to you about now, Eiji-kun. It's about Erina..."
Senzaemon then explained how Erina's past and what Azami did to her just like he did to Soma in the original work. Eiji was a little happy that he had taken the boy's place now.
Although he already knew all the information Senzaemon said. He made a surprised expression and nodded before saying confidently. "I understand. Senzaemon-san, you want me to help Erina so that she no longer falls into her evil father's hands, right?"
"That's right, Eiji-kun. I know it's a bit shameless but can you help one of my granddaughters, Erina? After taking over my position as director of Totsuki Academy, Azami will definitely control Erina again like he did in the past... Please."
Senzaemon bowed his head to the boy in front of him.
If Azami, Erina and other people who knew him saw this sight. They would all be shocked.
Eiji sighed.
[Erina, you have a good grandfather.]
At the shop, Erina was surprised and confused because Eiji was talking about her grandfather.
Didn't that mean he was with him?
What were they talking about?
Eiji didn't explain the details that her grandfather bowed his head to in order to get help from him.
"Raise your head, Senzaemon-san. You don't have to go this far to ask for my help. I actually don't mind helping Erina if she's in trouble. After all, we have a good relationship." Eiji shamelessly said.
If Erina heard this, she would definitely argue because she was tsundere. Still, she would also be embarrassed and moved.
"Oh?" Senzaemon raised his head and looked at Eiji with a twinkle in his eyes. Just like Zekram, he was an old man who was sensitive about this kind of thing. He misunderstood and thought Eiji and Erina might have been dating!
As the tsundere girl's grandfather, he was happy to hear this news and said, "Eiji-kun, I leave Erina to you!"
"Senzaemon-san, leave it to me. I'll take good care of Erina." Eiji gave a thumbs up.
[I feel a little sorry for Erina.]
Miss System couldn't help but comment on the two people's conversation.
'That's a good joke, Miss System.'
Eiji thought the woman was joking.
Miss System was silent. Who's joking? I'm quite serious here! However, she was too lazy to argue with her host and continued watching the drama.
"Isn't that just Azami? Senzaemon-san, he's not that scary. Earlier he even cried after tasting my food." Eiji brought this up to Senzaemon which would make Azami angry if he heard it.
Senzaemon widened his eyes. "So it was you? Previously when I met Azami, I saw his eyes were red as if he had been crying. I asked him about it and he didn't admit that he had cried... Hahaha!"
He started laughing out loud and looked at Eiji with admiration. "You must have amazing cooking skills to make him cry, Eiji-kun. If it's you, I believe you can protect Erina and even take good care of her after you two get married in the future."
Eiji just smiled and did not refute what Senzaemon said about marrying Erina.
But in his heart?
[Erina, your grandfather misunderstood and thought the two of us were dating! He even gave us his blessing to get married in the future! Gosh, what should I say? I was too embarrassed that I didn't say anything.]
"Say something to refute! You said you were embarrassed so you couldn't say anything? I've never seen you embarrassed, you're obviously doing it on purpose!"
"Shameless man! Shameless man! Who's going to marry you? Bah!"
Inside her shop, Erina who was cooking food for customers almost fainted from embarrassment.
She suddenly screamed which startled the waiters and Hisako.
Hisako wondered if Erina had missed Eiji so much after being separated for half an hour that she was going crazy and talking to herself?
Love is war!
Ah, I mean love is crazy!
"Erina-sama, are you tired? You could probably rest for a while..." Hisako said worriedly.
Erina whose face was flushed didn't even glance at her secretary and continued to stare at the food she was making. "Hisako, I'm fine. Don't bother me while I'm cooking."
"O-Okay, Erina-sama."
Hisako complained in her heart. You clearly do not look fine!
...
Eiji could imagine that Erina blushed and complained after hearing his inner voice. However, that was exactly the reaction he wanted from her.
This was just one of his routines to seduce the heroine.
Miss System and Leme were not surprised. They were already numb to how their host used his inner voice.
"By the way Eiji-kun..." Senzaemon had not finished speaking because even though Eiji had agreed to help Erina and he was happy about it of course. "How is your relationship with Alice and my daughter-in-law, Leonora?
He was suddenly curious about something.
Eiji stopped laughing and held his chin before saying, "Alice? My relationship with her is as good as my relationship with Erina. Actually it's even a little better because unlike Erina, Alice is an honest girl."
[Now Senzaemon was suddenly talking about his other granddaughter, Alice. Just like Erina, I can only say I also like that girl.]
Erina: Bastard!
Alice: Eiji-kun likes me and Erina? Geez, how greedy~
Not like Erina. The pretty girl with silver hair and red eyes who was working at the shop, Alice was not surprised to learn that Eiji liked her and her cousin. She had heard his inner voice all along and knew what kind of man Eiji was.
Since the last time they met, Alice had noticed the hot gaze he gave her and Erina.
It was obvious he liked them both. If he had to choose, he would probably choose both of them because he had a harem!
Still, what she heard next surprised her.
[But why was Senzaemon also talking about Leonora? Alice's mother? Talking about that woman...]
[What man wouldn't like her? She's the adult version of Alice.]
Alice: !!!
Erina: S-Shameless, you even want my aunt?!
"As for Leonora? My relationship with her is also good and the last time we met, she had told me many things about her." Eiji said honestly, anyone who knew what he was doing from a third point of view knew that.
But he clearly knew what he said made Senzaemon's head filled with love drama.
"Eiji-kun, you... I heard you have a Harem. Is that true?" Senzaemon asked this with a serious expression on his old face.
Eiji casually said, "Yes."
"Do Alice, Erina and Leonora know?"
"I never hid this from them."
Senzaemon was a little surprised and did not doubt what Eiji said because he did not even deny that he had a harem in this situation.
And to be honest, he had also heard last night that Eiji had gotten engaged to two daughters of the Yukinoshita family.
He was worried about Erina when he heard this but after looking for more information. He found out Eiji was the boss of the Mitsugoshi Company whose assets exceeded those of the Nakiri family.
But not only that, the key is that the women Eiji comes in contact with are unusual. Some of them are not even human, but devils who rule the dark side of Kuoh city.
Senzaemon knew about the existence of the supernatural in this world, or rather most people of his level knew this although the amount of information he knew was small.
And from all the information he had gathered about Eiji. The boy in front of him seemed to have a special status in the supernatural world and that wasn't bad.
It was actually so good that if the other rich families out there knew this, they would want to marry off their daughters to Eiji!
Of course, Senzaemon was not greedy for power like those people. He was more concerned with the happiness of his two granddaughters and even his widowed daughter-in-law.
He trusted what he saw and knew after talking to Eiji so far, he was a good and reliable boy. At least for his people, especially the women he favored.
For Senzaemon, this was enough. That way, he also didn't have to worry about Erina falling into Azami's hands again.
"Do you not mind adding Alice and Leonora to my request, Eiji-kun?"
Hearing this, Eiji was a little surprised and said excitedly. "You mean you want me to marry them in the future?"
Senzaemon wondered if he had made up his mind too quickly? But he had already said it and nodded. "If they like you and don't mind sharing a man with another woman, I will support you guys."
[Great! I didn't expect Senzaemon to be a cultured man. Erina, Alice, your grandfather is so nice!]
What exactly were they talking about?
Erina and Alice wondered what made Eiji praise their grandfather so many times.
They suspected it wasn't a good thing.
"Don't worry, I'm not a man who likes to force the women I like to be with me."
Eiji was telling the truth.
Senzaemon believed him and was satisfied.
...
After the conversation with Senzaemon was over, Eiji declined his offer to take him around the school.
Sorry but rather than continue to be with an old man, he would rather find a beautiful girl to accompany him.
And that beautiful girl was...
"Alice, I finally found you. Your shop is far from Erina's shop." Eiji walked towards one of the shops located on the school's main street.
But unlike the other shops, Alice's shop was very quiet.
"Eiji-kun, you're here!"
Alice who was originally pouting because she had only gotten a few customers since morning suddenly became cheerful.
It was because she saw Eiji coming to meet her. Unlike her tsundere cousin, Erina. Alice did not hesitate to throw herself on the boy's body.
Eiji hugged the girl's soft body with a surprised look. "Alice, did you miss me that much?"
[You must be in love with me.]
Alice who was a little drunk smelling the masculine odor from Eiji's body froze. But instead of denying, she raised her face with a flirtatious smile. "Yes, Eiji-kun. I missed you so much~!"
As for what Eiji said narcissistically in his inner voice? She would pretend not to hear it.
The same went for the things he talked about with her grandfather.
"Really? I miss Alice too."
Hearing how natural it was for Eiji to flirt with a girl, Alice rolled her eyes and puffed up her cheeks.
From Eiji's point of view, Alice seemed to enter her cartoon mode which made her even cuter. "Eiji-kun, you're lying. You missed me but met Erina before me!"
"That's because Erina's evil father came to visit her. I have to see Erina first to help her in that situation."
Erina's father?
Alice had only heard his name but she did not know much about him. However, her cousin must be in a difficult situation right now.
"Hmph! I see. You at least still remembered to meet me!"
Alice snorted and returned to her normal mode.
Eiji wondered how she did that but for now, he looked again at her shop before looking again at her beautiful face. "How could I forget to meet you when I visited this school? Still, Alice, is there a problem with your shop? I don't see any customers."
"That..." Alice looked embarrassed and broke away from his embrace before saying, "There aren't many people who understand Molecular Gastronomy-style food."
"Does that mean your shop has no customers?"
[When I visited Erina's shop earlier. I saw a lot of customers. It was very crowded, especially when I made Azami cry over my food.]
Alice puffed up her cheeks again, she knew in this festival she had lost to her cousin which made her upset.
"Eiji-kun...!"
"I'm just kidding, Alice. How about we try the food at the other store together? After all, your shop..."
Eiji continued to tease her.
Alice wanted to bite the boy but hearing what seemed like a date invitation, her eyes lit up.
"Before coming here. Did you also say that to Erina, Eiji-kun?"
[Why are you suddenly asking about your cousin, Alice? Wait, do you want to beat her at this since you couldn't beat her in the competition at the school festival?]
Eiji guessed correctly.
On the other side, Erina who was still busy in her shop was proud that Alice's shop didn't seem to get many customers. Still, she was curious and jealous because the girl seemed to want to do something with Eiji.
What are they doing?!
"Erina? No. I invited you before her, Alice."
Alice turned to the servants of the Nakiri family who were helping her and told them to close the shop. After that, she hugged Eiji's arm like a girlfriend and smiled sweetly.
"Eiji-kun, let's go~!"
Eiji had a date with Alice at the school festival and they visited other students' shops.
On the way, Eiji didn't forget Rindo and remembered that he also had an appointment with her. So after finishing his date with Alice, he still planned to meet her.
Not just to woo her, but also to... Heh.
[Host, don't pretend to be mysterious. You'll upset people.]
Hearing Miss System's scolding, Eiji had no other choice but to remember the few details in the Moon Banquet Festival arc. Of the 10 members of the Elite Ten Council, there were 6 members who approved Azami becoming the new director of Totsuki Academy.
Rindo was one of them.
