How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 136
“But man, Masaru how come you get to travel to another country! I’m so jealous, bet you had some good fights there” Sairaorg complained, Masaru only laughed it off as he knew this friend of his really could use a good fight later. “Trust me, it was so full of politics I could not even make careless moves there. Although I do admit it has been incredibly dangerous back there, how is your date with your queen going?” Masaru took a sip of the drink Sona brought for them.
Sairaorg who heard this froze for a moment, Issei glances at Sairaorg with interest as a man he understood what this question meant. Sairaorg coughed “It is going well, although this brat here had the intentions to kill her though” Masaru had a shocked face looking at Issei, Issei blushed beet red shaking his hands “I will just too emotional seeing my friends get hurt…” Sairaorg laughed as if he never really cared about it since he will never let any of his peerage members die after all.
Masaru smiled wryly as he could understand what Issei was going to, even he himself was not certain how exactly he would act if any of the girls were in danger. But he will sure as hell rain hell upon anyone who dares to hurt them outside the Rating Game, unlike Issei, Masaru knew the risks of Rating Games but he still takes it to train himself and the girls. “Bet you two really enjoyed beating each other up huh?” Masaru chuckled.
While the three of them continued to chat, soon Rias arrived to visit Issei as well. “Well look who it is” Masaru stood up as he greets Rias “You finally came back although you missed our match” Rias complained a bit but she still had a smile of relief, “Well as a friend I can only apologize and give you this” Masaru takes out a souvenir he bought, when Rias opened the gift it was a Qipao. “Akeno chose it for you” Masaru answered as he took his seat next to Sona.
Rias smiled “Thank you for the gift” She went over to take her seat next to Issei, her eyes kept moving towards his ċhėst where the injury he took in her place once was. Masaru closed his eyes leaning on Sona’s shoulder not wanting to disturb their peace, but Sona was tactical as she glances at the watch “Masaru, we will have to leave shortly. Don’t forget dinner with my parents?” Hearing Sona’s suggestion Masaru nodded as he stood up walking next to Sairaorg.
“Recover soon brother, so I can kick your ȧss for fighting halfassed” Masaru bump his fist against Sairaorg who grinned “I will be coming for you” Sairaorg watch how Masaru turned and left together with Sona as he thought ‘Now what am I suppose to do with these two love birds’ He thought before closing his eyes to pretend to sleep, it was only when Sairaorg slept did Issei and Rias have a heart to heart talk which started their journey ahead.

“Feeling better now that your back?” Sona ask as she gently ċȧrėsses Masaru’s head who was laying on her ŀȧp, “I feel tired, relaxed” Masaru answered the question while enjoying her care she was showering him with. “Well you will have to wake up soon” Sona whispered with a faint smile as she looks out of the window, “We will soon be at my parents home”
After a while the carriage stopped in front of the Manor, Masaru climbed out of the carriage together with Sona holding her hand while the two of them entered the manor. “Young Master Belial and Young lady Sona, please this way” The butler guided the two of them into the dining room where Oraman Sitri and Sonia Sitri were both sitting waiting for them to take their seats, Masaru pulled the chair allowing Sona to take her seat as he took his seat next to her near the parents.
“I’m glad you could make it” Oraman looks at Sona and Masaru with warm eyes, “Thank you for inviting me for dinner father” Sonia smiled happily while the servants began to bring in the dishes, “So how was your trip to China?” Oraman asked Masaru, so he began to tell how his journey was.
The family happily chatted about Sona, especially how the school system she had been running made things easier for children who had no hopes to finally have hope from this point forward, Masaru held Sona’s hand as he felt proud of her for what she accomplished on her own.
The father and mother were quite pleased to see how special Masaru care was for Sona so they felt relieved as any parents would care more about their child than anything else since they have already learnt their mistake with Sona’s past engagement with an heir of a family household.
“Ma-kun!!!!!!” Suddenly a familiar followed by hurried footsteps came running through the hallway opening the doors with force, “Sera?” Oraman looked at his daughter who was already willful and whimsical but this behaviour was by far something he never saw, Serafall did not care about her father as she picked Masaru up shaking him “What have you done with the Chinese Mythology?” She felt anxious, when she went to visit as the person in charge of Foreign affairs she would never have imagined that they would say “Speak with Kouryuu Masaru” as if they were leaving the choices up to Masaru.
Masaru gently pats Serafall’s head which strangely made her calm down as she places his down looking at him with pitiful eyes before breaking out crying, ‘Just what the hell happened?’ Masaru thought as he held Serafall gently patting her back, “So what happened?” Masaru asked, “I thought I saw a group of brainwashed people who reply with the exact same answer, it was scary I almost thought you were possessed!” Masaru pulled his head back in surprise ‘The hell!? Just how does her imagination works’
Masaru allowed Serafall to sit next to Sona who calmed down her sister, apparently, she had been stressed out from working and the reports she been dealing with which included China. Masaru could only smile wryly as he left her in capable hands, Serafall pouted as she felt Masaru was leaving her to the side to eat his dinner. After Dinner Masaru was sleeping alone in the guest room as Sona and Serafall were taking, what it was about was something Masaru would never ever imagine.
The very next morning, “Welcome to the Magical Girl Levi-tan!” Serafall appears on the stage wearing her Magical girl outfit and swirling her staff, the men who enjoyed the show were all screaming out in excitement taking photos in a fever. “And the Magic- Magical Girl So-Tan!” Sona came out timidly swirling her staff while making a cute pose.
Seeing this almost half the men were killed by her cute pure act, making the event to become even more heated up. The cameras were flickering while Serafall and Sona spoke with the spectators, Sona was a bit stiff as the reason she came here today was that her sister and Masaru tricked her into coming for the sake of making her “popular”.
“BWahahahaha! Now that the two of them are together I can make them mine!” Masaru leaps onto the stage wearing his black custom-making him appear like a mafia boss with two horns attached to his head. “No! The Demon King!” Serafall calls out, the women spectators were all cheering for Masaru causing the men who were enjoying the sight of two magical girls began to denounce the interrupter, Demon King.
“BOO!!!” The men began to jeer as Masaru continued the show as the Demon King, he fought against Sona and Serafall before he retreated which brought the event to an end. After the event Masaru was sitting between Sona and Serafall looking at men who were absolute perverts, ‘Sigh…’ Masaru began to thinking about last night when he was woken up by Serafall and Sona where Serafall suggested to have Sona join the signing event which Masaru did not know of.
Glancing at Serafall he could remember the pleading face she made to have him come today and to bring Sona, he could not say no to this girl especially the fact he enjoyed watching Sona play a part of the show. “I will get you for this” Sona whispered to Masaru while she was forcing a smile, Masaru smirked as he leaned over to her ear “In bed?” Hearing his question Sona blushed beet red as the two were unaware of someone who was glancing at them, feeling troubled on how to handle the strange feeling within.
After the event, Serafall went to deal with some of the organizers while Masaru and Sona went to take a break in the restroom, it was a small room with a double couch a single wall filled with lockers and a coffee table near the couch. Masaru took his seat on the couch while Sona went to take out a book she was currently studying from her locker before she sat between Masaru’s legs with her back against his shoulder.
Masaru silently held Sona who was still pouting after going through it, “Still angry?” He whispered at her ears before kissing her neck gently, this act cause Sona to feel an electric surge go down her body feeling Masaru showering her with gently care and love. She still pouted despite feeling incredibly happy “It still is not enough to make up for what you and my sister did to me” She places down the book on the table next to the lounge before she turned around straddling him.
“I see” Masaru spoke with a gentle smile, he pointed his hand on the door using his barrier magic to fȯrċɨbŀƴ keep the door from opening while covering the room in a silent barrier. “I see you remember the usage of barriers, hubby” Sona whispered as she gently kisses Masaru who was holding her waist, “Well that is because I was not ashamed of letting the world know you are mine. It is only because right now there is kids nearby” Sona giggled as the two of them started to kiss deeply.

Going back to school, things were going on as usual with not much change. Halloween had arrived and the Disciplinary Committee team this year agreed to run a Monster Cafe, although they wanted to create the Horror Maze to enter the Cafe again like last year but apparently the horrors of the Disciplinary was simply too professional that many filed complaints to Sona to prevent Masaru from having fun this year with the students since it was his last year in Highschool after all.
After the morning ȧssembly, the students went out to prepare their events and shops for the school festival. Under Masaru’s careful management he divided the girls into teams who will work on the floor and in the kitchen, although he still needed to patrol the school ground regular interval to prevent idiots from causing trouble. Sakura, Stephani, Ichika, Yui and Angelica were working as waitresses. Everest was working together with Akeno and Ingvild to handle the cooking and making the drinks, initially they wanted to restart the Maze program but it was instantly rejected as the Horror House of the Disciplinary was too real last year.
Jeanne was on patrol together with Shirone as regular Disciplinary duties, meanwhile, Masaru was walking along a pathway with events all over the school grounds heading straight for the Occult Building. “Kyaa! It’s Hyoudou! Smack him before he ɨmprėġnȧtės you!” Hearing this Masaru froze in his step wondering just how crazy this girl’s words just sounded like, when he glances into the horror house he noticed Issei was dressed as a Frankenstein that was beaten pitifully.
After completing his inspection he turned and left, it was when he was about to head back to the Disciplinary Committee he came across Azazel. “Yo Masaru, glad to see your safe and sound” Masaru came to stand next to Azazel was who watching the kids playing from a distance, “I heard about what happened in Kyoto” Masaru spoke, “Yeah, I would never expect you and Ajuka could pull a stunt like that”
Masaru chuckled “It was for safety precaution, we still don’t know if there is enemies among ourselves. We can’t afford to be careless now that the world peace is progressing, our enemies will do anything to disrupt it” Masaru turn to look at Azazel who nodded with a stern expression, “Can you tell me why Samsara is so interested in you?” Masaru chuckled as he answered honestly “Because she became my wife”
Azazel almost slipped from underneath his feet looking at Masaru with a shocked face, “She initiated the Kissing Prayer with me, you should understand what it means” Azazel took a deep breathe, “It works on Gods too?” Masaru nodded “The kissing prayer works the moment when both parties want it to” Azazel ċȧrėsses his goatee with a lecherous smile “So you collected her for your harem?” Masaru chuckled at this man’s words, “That I will no comment on it… But dealing with Hades is going to be tough, I heard about Vali as well”
“You know but I haven’t even told Rias and the rest yet” Azazel sighed as he rubbed his forehead, “Right now I am breaking the clauses of the peace treaty and betraying people, it kind of feel like crap” Masaru laughed as he grasp Azazel’s shoulder “Then add me to the list, since I approve of your actions. Having Ophis away from Khaos Brigade will make them restless, it might rattle the cages of the heroes to make them come out”
Masaru turns his gaze towards the school students “Taking the Initiative will make them come out in the open, with that we will have the advantage to deal with them. Instead of waiting in the dark not know when they will come out with something dangerous” Azazel crosses his arms, “So if everything goes down the drain you intend to go down with me?” Masaru chuckled, “When have you failed before? Not to mention I will make sure it goes through”
Azazel and Masaru chatted a bit more before Masaru left for the Student Council room, when he entered the room he noticed Sona was dealing with papers together with Momo and Tsubaki who both smiled when they saw him, “We will be leaving you two alone” Tsubaki spoke as she took out Momo from the student council office, Sona took out her chess set “Chess?”
“Congratulations on winning your Rating Game match, as expected your strategies really are amazing,” Masaru said as he moved his chess piece playing chess with Sona, “Thank you for your compliment, but I have much training to do if I were to ever reach your level” Masaru gently pokes her forehead “You should follow your own path Sona, as much as I love you girls wanting to be as good as me in what I do. I would rather see you girls choose what you all want to be, seeing each of you sign while following your dreams is part of my dream as well”

“Ah, Ma-kun you arrived!” Akeno came dragging Masaru into the kitchen before giving him a kiss, “Thank you for the meal” Masaru spoke as he went over to put on an apron around his waist, “How are things going for the Monster Cafe?” Everest threw in a piece of burger on the pan before looking at Masaru to answer “Well we are almost out of ingredients” Akeno came over to help Masaru wash the vegetables while he starts to help cooking in earnest, “I have not forgotten about the ticket rewards, so remember I will be giving you all the time you want”
Hearing this Everest, Akeno and INgvild look at each other remembering the number of tickets they have collected was enough to keep Masaru occupied for a long time. Shirone who came back from her inspection jumped onto Masaru’s back, “Careful!” Masaru warned Shirone who climbed off later. “Onii-sama is it true we can redeem our reward tickets now?” Masaru scratched the back of his head feeling a bit embarrassed but nodded.
During the entire school festival event, Masaru took each of the girls out to buy things for them. Masaru even took Roygun and Ulrika out although the two of them had to transform into younger girls, although it still managed to cause an uproar in the school it was at least not at the level of a student and teacher going out on dates. This festival event was quite enjoyable for Masaru and his girls, now that he finally came back after a short trip of work, he could finally enjoy a relaxed life… not.

“Masaru” Yui rest her head on Masaru’s shoulder looking at the experiment results Hiei was sponsoring which included in creating more unique artificial Sacred gears, the most troubling factor was the fact that some ingredients required to make them were not available in batches. “Hmm?” Masaru turns to look at Yui who kissed his cheek, “You should rest, you still work right after the school festival” She spoke feeling a bit worried, the other girls were currently entertaining Diana who came back to their home in the human world.
Masaru places the documents on the table as he turns his chair allowing Yui to sit on his ŀȧp, “Well, it is thanks to you girls who keep helping me that I could handle the work faster. So I will be done soon” Masaru gently kisses Yui’s neck allowing her to lean against his ċhėst, “I missed you, we all missed you. Although it was only for a month and you came to visit, but having you here with us is what we dėsɨrė”
Masaru held Yui “And you girls should be able to feel it, my feelings I hold for each of you girls” Yui closed her eyes feeling warm and relaxed in Masaru’s arms, although their meeting and how she joined up in his peerage was for the sake of saving her from being eliminated by the Bael Family, she would do it all again if it was to meet Masaru again who she loves is holding her right now.
It did not take long for his office to be cramped when the girls all came to visit him, that night Masaru spent the entire night speaking with the girls sharing his experiences while hearing what each of them went through as well.
