(3rd Person)

It's the early hours of the day and birdsong was heard... along with grunts and blows being dealt of course... Mira was seen rolling across the floor, a single evil energy devil wing on her back which helped her in ceasing her rolling. She groaned, shaking her head while pushing herself to her feet. She looked up to see both her teacher and her king staring down at her, his arms crossed while his new trench coat floated from the amount of power he was exerting, he did have two evil energy wings out after all.

(Y/N): Your footwork's all messed up, any slower than that and I would've killed you with just a single hit, you're lucky I'm your king and not some devil or fallen angel that won't hesitate to take advantage of your mistake.

Mira: I actually would prefer a devil or fallen angel, at least they'd stop treating me like a kid.

(Y/N): That's... definitely not true.

Mira: Are you calling me small or something!?

(Y/N): Well, your head comes up to my stomach, what do you think?

Without any hesitation, Mira leapt forward and caused a small crater where her feet once were from that remark. (Y/N) leant to the left, easily missing the obvious kick before he held out a hand to catch her wooden staff. Mira was spun around before being tossed exactly back where she landed before.

(Y/N): Still too slow!

Mira: You react too fast!

(Y/N): There are plenty of people out there stronger than me! So don't give me that excuse when you can't react as fast as me!

Mira: Bet you wouldn't say that to Yubelluna...

(Y/N): I would actually...

Mira: What?

(Y/N): Your mind's still stuck on when you were with Riser? That's probably the reason why you'd say that remember, you've gone further beyond your limits ever since you became my peerage. Before, you were known as the weakest, but thanks to the evil energy that I helped bring out inside you, you're the second strongest when it doesn't include me.

Mira: Then, who's the strongest?

(Y/N): With her Phenex cells allowing that regeneration ability and being able to control the evil energy better, that's Ravel.

Mira: Ah come on! Why did it have to be her!?

The door to the house suddenly opened, the two looked behind only to see both Burent and Marion standing there each holding a tray of what seemed to be lemonade and an energy bar.

Marion: Thirty minutes have passed Lord (Y/N), it's time for a snack.

Burent: Come on Marion, he already told everyone to call him (Y/N).

Marion: I know, but I feel like he deserves some respectful title since he was kind enough to take us all in even though we were enemies a while ago.

(Y/N): Yesterday's enemy is today's ally. And, I took pity on you girls because you were all in a desperate situation, nothing more.

At that, a smug looking Phenex suddenly appeared, looking right at (Y/N) with a smirk while getting right in his face.

Ravel: Are you sure about that?

(Y/N): Yes.

???: Really?

Everyone turned their attention back to the door, only to see Yubelluna leaning on the doorframe, no longer wearing the dress Riser had her wear daily, instead wearing a yellow jumper with a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of black heels.

Yubelluna: Not from the way you were fighting Mira, if you had no attachment to us, you would've worked her so hard she'd be panting and crawling back to the door, you even made these two...

She pulled Burent and Marion's new dresses.

Yubelluna: Stop wearing those damned maid costumes, didn't seem to work though since they still act like maids.

Burent: Of course! We are destined to now serve Lord (Y/N)! Uniform's do not matter!

Marion: Again with the 'Lord (Y/N)' stuff...

Burent: Am I not allowed to show my appreciation?

Marion: No, no, it's just...

???: Very weird...

This time it was Siris... who was wearing that massive sword on her back still...

Siris: It's very weird you two act like maids, how many times has (Y/N) told you to stop? Fifty? Fifty-five?

Marion: Shut it! We'll wear whatever we want and act however we want! Just stop trying to nitpick us!

Siris: Was I nitpicking? I apologise...

(Y/N) sighed, placing a hand on his face and then dragging it downward.

(Y/N): I swear, it's like trying to look after fifteen daughters...

???: So, does that mean you have a daughter kink master?

Another sigh from (Y/N) while everyone else shrieked from the sudden appearance of Mihae who was looking right at (Y/N) with a blank but curious expression on her face, he turned to her, eyes closed but a small irk mark on his forehead.

(Y/N): No, I do not have a daughter kink you cheeky bitch, I'm just seeing how much hassle and stress so many parents of today have to go through and now I sympathise with them.

Mihae: I see... so, you want to start a family with one us instead?

(Y/N): You... have a really stupid and interesting way of hearing my words, don't you?

???: Your work's cut out for ya, eh boss?

Isabella still wearing that mask of hers was standing right behind him with a massive smile on her face, (Y/N) sighed, placing his hand back on his face.

(Y/N): It's bad enough I get Gremory on my ass about some arranged marriage between us, I also have to deal with you trouble children, not to mention stupid Sona from the student council scolding me for skipping so many damn classes...

Mihae: Aren't you also worried about the search?

Instantly, the other girls slapped their hands over Mihae's mouth, their heads slowly turning towards (Y/N) who seemed to be looking down, his expression unreadable after what Mihae just stated, then... with a scoff he walked straight back into the house leaving the other girls with a guilty looking Mihae.

(Timeskip)

The doorbell was rung, Xuelan was the one to answer, and her frown instantly deepened once she saw a patch of red hair standing right in front of her, a fake smile on her face while she cleared her throat.

Rias: He-

Quickly, Xuelan slammed the door in her face much to the Gremory's shock before she locked the door behind her to make sure Rias couldn't get in.

Rias: Oi! What's the big idea!? Let me in!

Xuelan: Shifu asked me to not let any annoyances in.

Rias: Shifu? Nevermind, she probably means (Y/N)... (Y/N)! Can you let me in? There's been a misunderstanding with your servant!

The door opened slightly, Rias' eyes literally sparkled upon seeing her supposed future fiance's face scowling at her through the crack of the door.

(Y/N): What misunderstanding?

Rias: Your servant claimed I was an annoyance and locked me out before I could even say hello!

(Y/N): Oh... that's no misunderstanding, bye.

Rias quickly placed her hand in the door, straining herself greatly to keep it open, (Y/N) went to shut her hands in the door, but then hummed at seeing a piece of paper in her hand. Quickly he plucked it from her while placing his back on the door, barely even trying while Rias' face went extremely red from the amount of effort she was using to open the door.

(Y/N): What's this? From the fancy handwriting, it looks like it's from a rich prick.

Rias: Rich no, prick, definitely not. It's...from Michael!

(Y/N): Michael?

Rias: The leader of Heaven! You both met a week ago!

(Y/N): Oh, I see... troublesome... I'll just rip this up and...

Rias: It's to do with Asia!

Quickly, (Y/N) jumped off the door causing Rias to fall forward while opening the door. She groaned, looking hopefully up to see (Y/N) holding a hand out, however, her hopes were quickly crushed as she saw him walk into the living room instead. With a pout, Rias walked into the room after him and squeezed her way next to him. She knew how far her luck was pushed when she grabbed his arm, trying to wrap it around her, until she saw little sparks of evil energy coming off said palm.

(Y/N): Right... what does it say... 'something, something, meeting, something, something, Asia... something...'

Rias: You're not even bothering to read it properly...

(Y/N): Only the parts that are worth my time reading.

Mira: What's that?

To Rias' frustration, she saw Mira basically copying her actions from earlier, even the arm wrap from earlier, only this time (Y/N) didn't stop her. What irked her even more was when Mira looked at her, grinning in victory which only caused Rias to grew a few irk marks on her head.

(Y/N): An invitation from a holy guy in Heaven, says the meeting to discuss the situation with my Uncle and Asia will take place a few days from now... the invitation part is that he wants me to stay in Heaven while we wait for the meeting, something about 'making sure I don't escape or kill everyone since my anger is what I'm most famous for'.

Mira: You do get angry a lot for a human.

(Y/N): Well, joke's on you, even though I don't want to be, I'm a tiny part devil too. So you can't say I'm too angry for a human.

Rias: Regardless... everyone important that has to do with the search and with your Uncle will be there, in... Heaven... a place where devils are naturally weaker... I'd advise against taking your peerage.

Mira: Not happening, I'm not leaving him in the hands of a succubus like you.

Rias: I am not a succubus!!

(Y/N): You do try to get in my pants way too many times to be fair... wait a sec... don't you live here? Why did you knock on the door instead of letting yourself in?

Rias: Well... it was uhh... a test! A test for you to let your future wife in after a long day of work and...

(Y/N): You went out with your peerage and forgot your keys didn't you?

Rias: Yes...

Mira: And this is exactly why we should be coming along! If you keep losing your keys, how can I trust you not to lose (Y/N) while in Heaven? By the time you'd find him, he would have already murdered at least three angels.

(Y/N): Come on... have a little more faith, I'm not that easy to anger...

Both girls remained silent, looking away while pretending not to listen. (Y/N) looked up with a glare, his fist covered in evil energy while both started to sweat at the angry look on his face.

(Y/N): I don't get mad easy, right?

Again they refused to answer, and (Y/N)'s evil energy was slowly forming into a wing... that was until...

???: Woah, woah, woah, what's with the sudden anger big man?

Azazel made himself known in the room, smirking widely while staring at (Y/N) who slowly turned to him, now both evil energy wings visible before he pointed outside.

(Y/N): You, me, spar, now...

Azazel: Hang on now buddy, I still need to...

(Y/N) turned, literally glaring holes in Azazel who started sweating himself at seeing the fierce look.

(Y/N): Now! Before I rip someone else's head off!

Azazel sighed, quickly following after the boy while both Mira and Rias chuckled nervously, internally thanking Azazel for being in the way of the boy's anger.

Rias: He's... definitely quick to anger.

Mira: He's been like ever since Asia was kidnapped... he keeps getting angry at the smallest things, even going so far as to chuck a stone at a mime who was just trying to do his job...

Rias: Well... it's a good thing I can teach him manners once we get married, after all, every noble family of the devils must behave well!

Mira: And who says you're marrying him?

Rias: I am, and my brother as well. We both agreed he's a suitable husband and oh! I just love how our future's been set!

Mira: Yeah right... he'd fight you just to get out the marriage.

Rias: Wrong, he loves me to death!

(Y/N): I'd love you to death in a different way!

Explosions outside as well as Azazel trying to calm (Y/N) down while he dodged every anger-filled attack from the boy told the redhead otherwise...

Rias: Oh... by the way, there's a limit to how many devils are allowed into heaven, there's my peerage so that's 5, then there's (Y/N) which is 6 and finally the four devil kings, a total number of ten devils are allowed in heaven!

Mira: You're... making this up aren't you?

Rias: Not at all, that's how Michael declared it, so sorry Mira, even if you prevented it, there's no way you and the girls are coming to Heaven with us.

And with that, Mira growled in anger, slowly reaching for her staff while Rias poked her tongue out and exposed a fleshy part of her eye to her... but what no one knew was that it wasn't just Michael who would be waiting for them in Heaven...
