46 Home in Human world!

One year has passed, life in Kobe Academy was the ultimate boring period of his life and if he did not have the girls with him, he probably would have gone mad.

Students hated him for his relationship with the girls but thanks to his iron claws the boys all went quiet after the first few months of training, nothing eventful happened other than the fact Masaru was looking forward to his first year in Kuoh Academy to see how life would entertain him when he meets his childhood friend Sona and the ever spoiled friend Rias.

"So this is the new home we will be living in from now on?"

Akeno was looking at the house Diehauser arranged for them to live in Kuoh Town, from the outside it was a standard three stories house that was on the bigger side.

"Well, I did arrange with father to buy a house in this town and only renovate inside while leaving the outside as it was, at least they repainted the outside to keep it similar to what it was at least"

Masaru looked at the house while inspecting the front lawn, the side pathway on the left leaving to the back yard. On the right was a single garage that will be used for a storage room since they will not be getting a car just yet.

'I could add a few additional security measures here, but I will have to study the trap magic formations inside the grimoire a bit so I could modify the trigger requirement.'

Masaru thought as he went to the backyard that was a complete mess, this shocked Masaru beyond anything he could ever imagine.

"Who the hell does not clean their backyards!"

He yelled out of anger, he never expected the people they hired to remodel the house turned out to be lazy bums who forgot to clean the backyard. Ingvild arrived at the backyard to look at the mess while holding her mouth, she too was quite shocked.

"Masaru, it's not that bad. We can clean up the backyard together"

Masaru who heard Ingvild could only think this girl is seriously too kind, it's a shame she was not born a human or she would have been made a Saintess or something.

"Well I suppose so, I will still lodge a complaint and increase our product prices when they make another purchase from us on the next order"

Masaru felt irritated at this sight, after all, he paid for it to be clean!.

The ground floor standing from the entrance is a hallway, the first door on the right was the lounge room furnished with comfortable black leather couches, a large thick mattress, Fireplace including tv sets, at the back of the lounge room is the open plan Dining room furnished with rosewood table and chairs varnished with a dark tint.

The large kitchen was at the back left side, Masaru made use to equip it with a mixture of Western and Eastern Appliances for the girls who make different kinds of food so it was better to have a bit of everything that could fit inside somehow.

In the front left door right across the lounge was the guest room furnished with brown leather couches and a coffee table, nothing else since it was simply a room for visiting guests.

At the back further in the hallway where open space is a bid broader, there is a spiral staircase leading to the second up to the third floor and the underground floor.

The underground floor was simply an open field with several training rooms equipped with training equipment and enchanted to handle repeated attacks is what the renovator said. There is also a shower room to wash off the sweat.

On the second floor was where the rooms and large bathroom is located at, starting from the front to the back of the house.

On the left room was the bedroom Arranged for Masaru, the room next door was the large bathroom since the girls had a fight over having a room next to him he chose this set up only to be backfired and accused "Peeping Pervert" which he tried to protest but they never listened so he left it as is.

The next room next to Masaru was Akeno's room since the bathroom was large enough to be two rooms in length there was no bedroom next to hers either.

The next two rooms were Shirone and Ingvild followed by Ichika who had the room at the far left, the right across hers was left empty since the other girls did not want it.

On the Third floor from Front to back Room 1 on the left belonged to Angelica and Everest was Room 2 across hers, Next to Angelica's room was Stephani and across her was Jeanne.

The other four rooms were furnished for guest sleepover unless Masaru finds other Peerage members during their school years, thankfully each room was already furnished to the bare minimum and decoration and such will be bought tomorrow since Masaru promised the girls to do shopping after all to which he will come to regret later on.

"The bathroom is amazing!"

Stephani yelled from the first floor while Masaru was busy cutting the beef steak into finger length and width strips sizes, he had Akeno help him with washing and preparing the vegetables.

"Seems the girls like the house"

Masaru commented with a wry smile, Akeno giggled as she too took a liking to this house compared to the one they used in Kobe Town

"Well, I guess the fact we are living together alone with no one else does makes it extra special for us"

Masaru who heard this swallowed unconsciously while focusing to chop the meat,

"Well it's fine but at least keep the plans you girls made to moderation"

Masaru naturally learnt of the group's plan by a chance when he was helping his father fix one of the water pipes in the kitchen, he once asked his father why he does it the old way and not fix it with magic he replied saying it feels more natural by doing it the old way.

Akeno paused for a moment before continuing, she did not expect him to know about their plans.

'I will have to somehow arrange a secret meeting with the girls again, it appears our opponent has strong intelligence gathering skills'

She thought but never realized that Masaru only learnt about it by luck.

"How far is the food?"

Everest came calling from the door at the kitchen,

"Come help out, maybe with more hands, we can finish it faster"

Hearing she can help despite Akeno was there helping already, Everest came while feeling happy to spend some time closer to Masaru.

Shirone was currently resting on the couch that felt extremely comfortable, there was not much to do right now since everything they planned would only happen tomorrow.

A bit later that night the Masaru peerage had their first dinner in their own house, is what they really planned but there were two intruders that decided on the last minute to stay with them as their "Guardians".

"Masaru! Come help mother carry this bag to her room",

"Masaru, come help your big sis with this bag it's too heavy!"

Yes, the two intruders were none other than Diana who resigned off her post as Military Commander to watch over Masaru for the few years he will be studying in the human world and her support was Julia who tagged along after the girls of the Diehauser Family did a rock paper & scissor match to decide the fate of the last standing woman.

Akeno and the girls who had some "plans" all pouted when they heard the voices while Masaru without realizing it all was already gone to carry the bags to the third floor at the end rooms arranged for the two ladies.

'Just what are my mother and Father thinking?'

Masaru thought about Diehauser who accepted the fact Diana resigned the same day Masaru came to this home today, it is simply beyond his comprehension.

Tonight was bound to be lively since the older sister and mother of Masaru became extra lively to eat Masaru's cooked meal although Akeno and Everest helped him with it.

>\/<

The next morning Masaru and the girls were allowed to go shopping alone since Diana and Julia had to attend interviews for jobs they applied for to work in the human world as a disguise, the first shop everyone chose to go was the Mall that was half an hour bus ride from the home.

The mall was appeared to be in the medium size if compared to smaller and larger malls, inside was a clothing store with a Home Section where they entered.

"Ma-kun, do you think this colour fits?"

Akeno showed a duvet and pillow set for her bed, looking at the colour seriously he looked at Akeno to see her eyes does appear that she liked this very much so he nodded but then he pulled another set out with a lighter colour.

"These two will be perfect for your room"

"Masaru, there is no red!"

Everest who was searching for hers could not find it, Masaru lightly jumped and reached out one of the sets that were red which Everest did not notice. From the looks of Ichika and Ingvild were both making a list of things so it seems that they will be opting to have the shop deliver the things which will be helpful,

"Akeno, Everest. Join Ingvild and draw up a list. Order everything in one go and have them deliver it"

It was quite a sight to see girls talking eagerly over what to take and what not to take, the list itself took an hour to complete as for Masaru? He was currently talking to one of the staff members in hopes to arrange for delivery.

"Masaru, we finished the list"

Ingvild handed over the list to Masaru, it appears the girls wanted plenty of things for each of their rooms but he noticed some things were not available in this shop but then he realized that this was the shopping list for everything and not just one shop.

The sheer number of things was quite overwhelming, Masaru only felt relieved his Travel Agency business has already expanded into the human world generating a promising amount of money for him to use so he did not care much.

"Do you have a list of all the items available in your shop?"

Masaru spoke with the staff he spoke to,

"Yes sir, hold on a second"

When the man came back with a printed list Masaru began to tick each item the girls wanted as well as marked #x on each item each girl wanted of the same thing, just seeing from the number of things Masaru was marking the man felt his scalp almost lost hair from excitement.

He never realized this young boy he was dealing with was a rich boy, after everything was marked Masaru went over to deal with the arrangement and payment.

"Thank you for doing business with us"

Masaru nodded before leaving with the girls to the next shop

a Few hours later Masaru was currently carrying bags all over his body while standing outside the Toy store where the girls were currently buying plushies for their room, Masaru could have sent all the things home with Magic but every time he was about to move into an alleyway to send the things off one of the girls will drag him towards the next store.

'Well, it is their long-awaited shopping to decorate their room according to their taste'

Masaru looked left and right seeing no one was nearby and the girls were too busy he ran for the nearest Alleyway sending off the bags in swift successions you would believe he was wanking if you look at him from the back.

When he arrived in front of the toy store he noticed the amount of bags the girls were bringing has the same amount he just sent away.

"Where to next?"

The girls looked at each other shaking their heads since their shopping was complete Masaru felt relieved,

"Since we still have some time let's watch a movie"

'So I can send these bags off with Magic'

He thought while he went together with the girls over to the cinema theatre and boy was it a hassle. The piercing glares the males gave Masaru walking in the middle surrounding by the girls made him felt like he could yawn,

'So this is why Riser felt excited having a harem while everyone looks at you enviously? It does kind of feel badass'

After deciding on a movie they made sure to choose the back row seats of the cinema, each of them was taking their seats while having their drinks, popcorns and sweets for Shirone.

"I have been meaning to ask you Masaru, back when I first met you with my mother, Shirone told me you originally planned to have a peerage with girls only"

Masaru who heard this thought about it and remembered he was 9 years old back then, it was only 1 year since he escaped that hell.

"Yeah, it was my original plan when I escaped that experiment hell with Shirone. But when I turned nine years old, I have already given up on that thought at that time"

"Why?"

Akeno asked, naturally the girls were listening to this boy who originally had a harem plan but gave up on it but still ended up with it? Masaru chuckled helplessly

"It's because I became aware of my family's status, it declined to it's lowest point and devils began to suppress us which was quite dangerous at that time. The first thought I had if I were to make a Harem in such circumstances will I be able to make them happy?

"Will they be happy with the way the household is? It won't be an exaggeration to say we were borderline commoners back then if it was not for my father who went to play the Rating Game using the money he earned to help the family from collapsing"

Masaru took a sip of his drink before he continued his story,

"Since then, the first thing I thought of is my peerage members need to be competent, adaptable, strong-minded, able to work as a team and alone. What I decided to do was form a team that could survive, because the devil world is cruel... Survival of the fittest is the rule"

The girls were silent, they knew of the family circumstances but hearing how he pushed everything back for survival was a bit sad.

"No need to make the mood heavy, don't you girls think I am already way too blessed enough? If I complain then I might get killed by the guys who are already jealous of my current situation"

The girls hearing this laughed thinking that it was true after all.

The movie they watched was action movie which was only an hour and half-length, by the time it was over it was finally time to go home since tomorrow will be the entrance ceremony for them as transfer students.

"So Sona and Rias have been in Kuoh Academy since first-year Senior Highschool?"

Masaru smirked while feeling relieved that he can make use of his connection with them to implement something he intended for his operations from now on,

"I did not investigate it beforehand so I also only later learnt of this when I already applied to join in the senior Second-year, I honestly expected them to only join during their second year"

Ichika put her finger on her chin as she thought,

"We have to join a club as part of the requirements, do you have an idea planned for us?"

Masaru smile became slyly,

"I intend to start the Disciplinary Committee in the school, we can get our own offices and rooms this way. With this we can operate our duties without hassle should we get contacted by Ajuka for a subjugation request on those Ancient Creatures"

Shirone looked at Masaru

"Can I join?"

Masaru nodded while gently caressing Shirone's head out of a habit,

"Since you and Ingvild are in Junior high we intend to have you two as a 'test' member on the surface, it's only formality sake for the teachers. I have already arranged the things with Sona but she was in a better mood since she could share the load of complaint paperwork with me"

When Masaru and the girls just arrived in front of the House there were noises coming from inside the house,

"How dare you to take the lead!? I was supposed to be the one to stay as a guardian!"

"NO! It's me! I am jobless after all!"

"You're just plain lazy!"

"Why do you girls always gang up on me like this! I am going to tell on you all to Masaru!"

Masaru had a stoic face because this kind of exchanges were his mother and sisters form of talking and forming bonds, well that is what they say Masaru, however, concluded he will find it easier to investigate the ancient creatures than to understand the mysteries of ladies

>\/<

"Masaru you ready yet!? Breakfast is ready and it's almost time to go to school"

Diana called out while she was serving breakfast to the girls who woke up early, Masaru himself was also awake but he was looking at himself in the mirror wearing the Kuoh Academy uniform.

'It has been about eight years now since I started my training at nine huh?'

What went on his head at that time was when he arrived in this world during an explosion, having Shirone at his side whom he knew the best helped him feel more relaxed than he had an ally to trust.

Afterwards, he met his father but because he knew in the future some things of him will be exposed like his power and knowledge, so it was best to share information to his father as a form of test whether he could trust him at that time or not.

But he was lucky, the Belial Family were protective and trustworthy that allowed him to open up to them all while he began to make his moves all for the sake of surviving.

One by one his peerage members were selected in quite a fast pace that could be considered a blessing for him, he did feel regretful he did not discover other potential members to invite since he would have preferred to have a full team at a young age to allow the girls to grow up together making the team bond much firmer.

This naturally is just his wish.

Going through messy situations that would have not to be hard to believe if he did die in those instances but he pulled through, surviving through hands trying to reach out to control him or hidden enemies waiting to strike at him.

It has been, quite a few years since he has been surviving in this world after all... With fragmented memories of its future
