How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 139
Next morning Masaru was heading out, Ophis changed her looks since she wanted to come along with Masaru this was the deal Masaru made with the dragon god for her to come along. Currently, she appears to look the same with silver hair and amber coloured eyes making her look like Masaru’s daughter, “This good?” Masaru glances at her seeing that it was indeed hard to determine her identity, so he had her wear cute casual clothes the girls bought for her yesterday afternoon.
The rest of the girls went with Diana to the hospital for her periodic check-up, so it was only Roygun, Masaru and Ophis who was currently sitting in the back of the Limousine. “How did your family act towards you when you were exiled from your household?” Roygun smiled bitterly, “They were disappointed but they did not hate me for it” She answered. Masaru nodded as he now knew how to handle is in-laws when they arrive, he just wanted to make sure if they were fair or unfair towards her.
Ophis was quiet, in the short period of time she developed a hidden rivalry against Shirone for the rights of Masaru’s ŀȧp. Although Shirone already grew up that it could be said she was almost a young lady, she still felt protective over Masaru’s ŀȧp. Shortly the three of them arrived in front of the Belphegor Family Manor, unlike the Gremory and the Phenex who were extravagant. The Belphegor family Manor was modest, when Masaru climbed out of the carriage they were welcomed by the current head of the Belphegor Family who was the cousin of Roygun.
“Welcome to our humble abode Young Master Belial” The head of Belphegor greeted Masaru who was holding Ophis’s hand, although the glint of disdain towards Roygun did not escape Masaru’s sight ‘I will make a mental note of this’ Masaru thought before smiling “I am here to meet with Roygun’s parents, I wish to discuss my intention to marry her” Masaru’s words made the Head of Belphegor family smile broadly thinking he could use his familial bond with Roygun to get some benefits from Masaru.
But he would never expect that Masaru was here to destroy that bridge, “Yes Yes! Please come in!” The Cousin escorted Masaru and Roygun to a smaller house at the back of the Manor, it’s appearance was well designed but the size was not something made for two people to live in. Roygun clenched her fist as she looks at her parent’s house, it was her fault because of her actions they were now treated as the shame of the family.
‘What right do I have to face them now… After what I have caused them’ Roygun thought with a depressed face, but a single squeeze of Masaru’s hand blew away her depression when she felt his warm hands hold hers and his kind smile. Masaru let go of Roygun’s hand to knock on the door, “Who is it?” an Elderly voice came from the inside of the house, “My name is Masaru Belial, I am the fiancé of Roygun”
Suddenly the door burst open with an Elder man holding a bat in his hands “You dare say you are…. huh?” Roygun’s father saw his daughter was indeed there but his eyes were glued at the little girl who was holding Masaru’s hand, “I-Is… That my granddaughter?” Both Masaru and Roygun were floored at this old man, “No no! I don’t have a child yet father!” hearing this the old man glances at Masaru with vigilance “Then what is your relationship with my daughter?”
“She is my fiancé, I intend to marry her and keep her happy” Masaru answered without feeling a bit threatened by this old man who glared at him before his facial expression softened, “Come in” Masaru, Roygun and Ophis entered the house together while the Cousin followed shortly after them, the house really was incredibly small. “Father-in-law, how about moving to the Belial Territory? Roygun has a territory there is a nice farm for Father-in-law to work on” The elderly man chuckled glancing at Masaru with a playful smile.
“You want to bribe me for my daughter?” before Masaru could deny the old man, Roygun’s mother smacked the back of his head “You really are suspicious of everyone! This boy came here out of respect and you show him nothing but disrespect, I tell you now Roy you better behave” The mother had a similar appearance as Roygun with pink hair, appearance in her late twenties.
“I’m sorry Trisha, I will not do it again!” The blacked hair Roy with an appearance in his middle age, amber coloured eyes was pleading to his wife on the ground, Masaru was not shocked at this sight making Trisha quite amused at this boy “Stand up, you are disgracing yourself” Roy stood up vigorously as everyone took their seat in the lounge which was a bit cramped so Roygun blushed when she was made to sit on Masaru’s left leg and Ophis sat on his right.
“So you are the man Roygun chose, I have to admit she really has good taste” Trisha spoke with a warm smile looking how Masaru and Roygun were acting intimately, Roy snorted as he looks the other way still wanting to settle scores with Masaru later for taking his daughter without his consent. Masaru smiled “Thank you, Mother-in-law, for your kind compliment.” Masaru and the parents chatted happily for a while when Masaru suggested it again.
“Why not move into our territory?” Masaru asked, Trisha, squinted her eyes “Can I ask you why you are determined to have us at your territory?” Masaru chuckled “Because I will never treat family like their animals, if someone in my family makes a mistake. I will atone for it with them, carry it with them. instead of discarding them in a pitiful little home. You are Roygun’s precious family, she is my precious woman. That makes the two of you my precious family as well”
Trisha nodded, “Please mother, father. Let me make it up for you, I- I’m sorry that I disappointed the both of you” Roygun began to apologize to her parents, her tears accumulated before it began rolling down her cheeks, Masaru gently held her hand as she continued to aks them. It was Roy who nodded “Since it is my DAUGHTER who asked me I will go live in this farm” Roy spoke although he hates to admit it, he felt grateful for what Masaru has done for his daughter.
“No no, I have already arranged with the family to move the both of you back into the main house” The cousin spoke hurriedly but Masaru shot him a glare, “Why were they in this house in the first place, do you know why I came here?” The cousin froze looking at Masaru wondering why this boy was showing hostility all of the sudden, “I came here to see who was the allies and enemies of Roygun, you and the rest of the Belphegor Family already answered my questions for me.”
“So I will give you two choices, you either let me take Roygun’s family out of here and they cut off their relations with the family… Or I will personally make a move” Masaru spoke with a fierce glint flashing his eyes sending a shiver down the Cousin’s spine, “Y-You can’t attack us! We have laws” Masaru chuckled “Who said I will do anything physically, there are many ways… Digging up dirt or selling better merchandise”
Masaru mentioned a few more things making the cousin’s face turn pale as he hurriedly nods “It’s fine! I will remove their names from the register” He stood up leaving hurriedly to get the processes done as the Belphegor did not have enough connections and power to deal with Belial Family pressuring them, but never he would expect Masaru was talking about his own organisation no one knows of.
“So this is my son in law huh? You have won my approval” Trisha spoke with a smile as she took Roygun’s hand to have her help her pack their most needed things, Roy glances at Masaru who was gently ċȧrėssing Ophis’s hair. “Is that your daughter?” Hearing Roy’s question Masaru shook his head “She is an important family member, are you fine with the arrangements?” Masaru answered to which Ophis turn to look at Masaru with curious eyes before turning her face back to allow Masaru to continue to ċȧrėss her hair since she enjoyed the feeling.
“Sigh, the moment the family forced my daughter to leave the family I had no choice but to accept it the fact the family gave up on me too. This is better than waiting for the day to rot away in this small house” Roy answered with a complicated face, Masaru could understand that Roy had given much of his time to work for the family only to be repaid in a brutal backstab. The scandal Roygun caused was indeed big but it was handled swiftly and silently, so the majority of the families were not publicity scolded.
When Trisha and Roygun came out carrying only two bags Roy was confused, “Why so few things?” Trisha smiled “Our daughter already prepared everything for us, you want to keep the things those ungrateful bastards gave us?” She asked to which Roy snorted “Of course not, I thought we could perhaps sell it for dirt cheap or something” Roy muttered as he stood up, The five of them left the Belphegor Manor on the carriage Masaru, Roygun and Ophis came with back to the Belial Territory.
“Thank you” Roygun muttered as she leaned her head on Masaru’s shoulder, Masaru kissed her forehead “No need for thanks, your problems are my problems. We are one” Roygun nodded as she committed to her heart what Masaru had done for her, Ophis was currently being spoilt with sweets by Trisha. Masaru smiled warmly as he could see that Ophis was enjoying her new life so far, but he will wait for the day she can tell him herself where her home is.

When Masaru was busy getting dressed to meet up with Yasaka as promised, Ophis came out of his wardrobe like a ninja “Nin nin, I have appeared from the wardrobe” Ophis declared, Masaru stared at her with a surprised face as he did not even sense her. ‘Just what level is this loli’s presence erase at’ He thought as he gently ċȧrėsses Ophis’s head “Want to come with me to meet my teacher and Yasaka?” Masaru asked
Ophis nodded her head as she went out to ask one o the girls to help her dress as she could only materialize clothes with magic, but for some reason, she enjoyed it when the girls dressed her up although she would have never guessed that it was because she look like a doll with her expressionless face. “Onii-sama, can I come?” Shirone asked walking into his room already dressed in a one-piece white dress with delicate patterns weaved into the dress, standing on high heels Masaru could guess she was not used to wearing those.
“Well sure, I will only meet up to see what Yasaka wants and also to update my teacher” Masaru nodded as he did not mind Shirone tagging along, “Yes!” Shirone punches her fist up in the air, but when Ophis appeared all of the sudden the two of them glanced at Masaru’s thɨġh, then at each other as if lightning sparks go off. “Let’s go” Masaru finished tying his bowtie wearing a grey formal suit for the meeting since it was official after all.

After a while, in Kyoto. Seo’s Second-Hand store. Ulrika knocked on the door, “Who is it?” Seo opened the door looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, his eyes began to wander around till he got electrocuted by his twin wives. “You dare ogle a woman in front of us huh Seo?” “So you got tired of us after we got pregnant?” Hearing their questions Seo sweated buckets as he began to explain to his wives he loved only them amongst other things.
“So can I know what pŀėȧsurė do I owe for a lady like you to appear in front of my doorstep?” Seo asked but Ulrika placed a black suitcase in front of him, “I want to know if you are interested in working permanently with a stable income, good home and a good school for your kids that is coming soon” Ulrika spoke, this offer was attractive but Seo glances at her, “What work will it be?”
“What you are best at after all” Ulrika answered him, Seo nodded “So who will be my employed?” Ulrika giggled at Seo’s question “It is Masaru, the same boy you helped to find the witches last year” Hearing this Seo roared “That brat who forgot to pay my other half of the fees!?” Seo glances at the suitcase opening it to see what exactly was inside, but what he saw was stacks of money notes piled up neatly. Seo swallowed his saliva ‘With this I can eat Meat!’ He thought
“I’ll take the job” Seo answered without hesitation, this amount of money was already enough to maintain his family for a lifetime. According to their contract they have an option to become Devils too so they can live much longer in the future if they ever dėsɨrė it, such benefits were too enticing for the man who feels that hundred years was too short to live a good life.
Ulrika nodded as she handed over a device that teleports people to Hiei Headquarters guest room. This is the device he will use for a year to display his loyalty before he will gain his personal one, “I and my fiancé, Masaru. Look forward to working together with you Sir Seo” Ulrika turned around leaving a shocked Seo alone, “That brat managed to snag such a beautiful Milf? My gawd!”

“Welcome to my humble abode” Yasaka welcomes Masaru with a cramped face when she sensed the presence of Ophis, “Thanks” Masaru took his seat with Shirone on his left and Ophis on his right, “Can I know why you are together with the leader of Khaos Brigade?” Yasaka glances at Ophis with vigilance, seeing this Masaru began to explain his understanding of the situation he had Ophis answer some things as well. “I see, but to believe it is kind of hard to do” Yasaka felt complicated, “But I will place my faith in the man who planned my safety”
“Although that was a plan both me and my teacher Ajuka came up with, we did not have any proof that the Hero would definitely attack your area but we had to take precaution which is why we created an Artificial Doll to take your place” Masaru answered, Yasaka nodded as this is a reason she and Ajuka went out on a date last night for her to “thank him” but she became interested in that mysterious man who holds so many secrets.
“But I still have to thank you for the part you played in it” Yasaka bowed to thank Masaru who smiled wryly, “I hope you can support my decision to take custody of Ophis, with this Khaos Brigade will not have a strong backing which will make it a bit easier to deal with them” Masaru spoke to which Yasaka nodded, this did indeed make the dire situation much more manageable with the strongest being no longer behind the group of terrorist.
“Very well, I Yasaka one of the two leaders of the Yokai Faction will support your decision” Yasaka announced before adding “I hope you can keep your word to have your teacher visit me more often” Masaru coughed as he nodded, never did he expect in his life that his teacher will finally get a woman of his own. ‘Good work Teacher’ Masaru thought, “I will make sure he comes to visit since he has a lot of free time, for a dead man. Thank you for your time, but I hope you can forgive me as I have other commitments awaiting” Masaru spoke before standing up.
Yasaka nodded with a smile as she escorted Masaru out watching Masaru holding hands with Ophis and Shirone made her feel something amazing was bound to happen. “Want to go out and eat something?” Masaru turns to look at Shirone, “Is it a date?” Shirone asked, “Hehe, although it will be the three of us, sure” Masaru squeezes Shirone’s hand as the three of them went to eat out at a confectionary shop of Shirone’s choice.
