"You wish," Naruto said in a joking tone. Lifting up his glass, Naruto said, "To getting shit faced drunk."

"I'll drink to that," Raynare said as she touched her glass to his. The two then drank their glasses in one go.

Twenty minutes later the two were still drinking. Each had gone through half a dozen glasses of champagne.

Naruto still wasn't feeling it, but Raynare was clearly feeling a buzz. Naruto had suggested talking to other people, but Raynare appeared to not be in the mood to converse with others

. Naruto similarly doubted he could interact with most of these people without somehow offending them. If you got nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

Naruto did have his eyes on something though. It appears Maou Sirzechs Lucifer was attending the party.

Naruto had finally caught sight of the most powerful devil, but had been content to watching for now.

The Maou had been surrounded by people the entire time. Grayfia was standing at his side, still in her maid outfit.

Seeing the Maou appear to withdraw himself for a bit more privacy, Naruto acted.

Especially when he saw the Maou send him a look, clearly acknowledging that he had sensed Naruto's look.

Standing up, Naruto told Raynare, "I'll be gone for a little bit." Raynare just waved him off.

Approaching the Maou, Naruto stopped in front of the man. Sirzechs Luvifer was a handsome man that appeared to be in his early 20's.

He honestly looked like a male version of Rias. His shoulder length hair was a crimson just a tad darker than Rias', and his eyes were the same blue color.

Standing a bit taller than Naruto, he was dressed in an elaborate black and gold armor with a blue cape.

He really cut a regal figure. Not to mention Naruto could sense immense power in him that surpassed even Grayfia.

"Ah, Uzumaki Naruto-kun. I was hoping to have a chance to talk to my sister's newest rook," the Maou stated with a friendly smile.

"Maou Sirzechs Lucifer-sama," Naruto started, bowing his head slightly in respect. Looking at the Maou with sharp eyes, Naruto continued, "If you don't mind, I reque…No. Actually I demand to speak with you in private."

That drew gasps from all the devils in hearing range. A low-class devil, demanding to speaking with a Maou. It was outrageous.

Grayfia stepped forward and informed him sternly, "You do not demand anything of Lucifer-sama. If you even insinuate such a thing again, I shall step for to issue your punishment myself."

Anything else was cut off by Sirzechs raising his hand to stop her. Smiling at Naruto amicably, he proclaimed, "There is no need, Grayfia. I shall acquiesce. I am interested in what he wants to talk about."

"Thank you," Naruto said blankly.

Still smiling, Sirzechs led Naruto out of the hall. Entering a hallway, Sirzechs went to the nearest door. Checking to see if it was empty, he nodded in satisfaction and announced, "This room shall do. Grayfia, stand guard. Do not let anyone enter."

"Yes, Lucifer-sama," Grayfia intoned emotionlessly.

Naruto followed the Maou into the room. Grayfia closed the door behind them. The room was an empty, circular room. Naruto couldn't guess its purpose, but it didn't really matter.

Turning to Naruto, Sirzechs smiled before asking, "Now that we are alone, what did you wish to speak to me about?"

"Well firstly, I wanted to do this," Naruto announced grimly. Reaching forward, Naruto hooked his hands in the armor of the Maou.

Using that as a handhold, Naruto pulled. Snapping his head forward, the top of Naruto's head collided with Sirzechs' nose.

Sirzechs stumbled backwards, managing to keep his feet. Quickly lifting his hands to his throbbing nose, he looked at Naruto in complete shock.

A low-class devil attacking a Maou is more than enough for them to be executed.

"Did you just head butt me?"

"Yep," Naruto admitted unabashedly.

"Is there a reason or did you just want to be executed?" Sirzechs questioned, recovering from the shock of the attack.

"Of course. I did it for Rias-chan," Naruto claimed.

"For Rias?" Sirzechs repeated, completely confused.

Naruto leaned forward as he declared angrily at the Maou, "Rias-chan didn't want to marry Riser. You no doubt knew that. So where the hell were you? Isn't it the job of an older brother to protect his younger sibling? You are a Maou. You could have stopped the marriage. I want to know why. Rias-chan says that you love her deeply. Where the hell was that love when she needed your help?"

"I see," Sirzechs muttered to himself as he lowered his hands. His nose was a bit tender, but lacked any physical marks from the head butt. "Out of curiosity, did you head butt my father as well?"

"No," Naruto admitted reluctantly before elaborating, "Parents make mistakes of their own. He at least gave her an out by allowing her to fight in the Rating Match. He did something to give Rias a chance. I haven't heard anything about you acting to help Rias-chan."

"I didn't," Sirzechs confessed without shame. He then continued, "After all, I was the one that proposed the idea of marrying Rias to Riser to my father and Lord Phenex."

That surprised Naruto. That shock quickly turned to anger. Grabbing the Maou's armor again, Naruto proceeded to give the Maou another head butt. This time the Maou actually fell on his butt, cradling his nose again.

"What the hell?! You had to have known Rias-chan wouldn't have wanted to marry that prick.

So why would you encourage an arranged marriage? Don't you care about Rias-chan?!" Naruto demanded loudly.

"Don't you dare insinuate I don't care about Rias," Sirzechs hissed out, looking at Naruto with sharp eyes for the first time. Even the slight bit of blood leaking from his nose didn't lessen the intensity of his glare. Standing up, Sirzechs continued strongly, "I held Rias as a baby. I watched her grow up. I read her bed time stories. I taught her to use her Power of Destruction. She is and always will be my precious Imouto."

Realizing he may have crossed a line, Naruto forced himself to calm down before asking, "Then why?"
