"I thought devils weren't supposed to control human factions or interfere in their politics."

"Publicly, everyone says that. But behind the scenes, who doesn't exert a little influence? After all, many of our kind live in the human world now. In reality, we haven't really interfered, though."

Rias explained that the Three Factions, as well as the other pantheons, couldn't be bothered to interfere with human affairs. It was explicitly stipulated in their agreements.

However, during the previous wars, everyone had played their little games behind the scenes...

Now, centuries after the fighting had ended, those methods still remained, might as well use them.

As long as they didn't go too far, everyone turned a blind eye, maintaining a silent understanding.

Badr chuckled. "The evils of the privileged class."

"You're a member of the privileged class now, too, you know~" Rias teased.

Badr hadn't experienced the extent of the Gremory family's influence until now. He only knew that they held considerable sway in the Underworld.

But this small display of their power within human society revealed just the tip of the iceberg.

They were extraordinary. Occasionally experiencing the evils of privilege felt pretty good, actually...

After Rias promised to have Akeno communicate with the higher-ups in the human world, Badr was finally able to relax.

"All settled. You don't need to worry about your identity anymore," Badr said to Yor with a smile. "Your secret police identity has been arranged. All that's left is to handle your brother tomorrow and avoid arousing his suspicion."

"Really?! You're amazing, Badr-san..."

Yor's expression was one of immense relief. "Thank goodness..."

If Badr hadn't been able to resolve this, she would have had to confess to Yuri.

But the excuse of, "I got a fake boyfriend so I could continue being an assassin," was something she simply couldn't bring herself to say...

Thankfully, Badr had solved the problem, saving her job...

"Don't let your guard down yet, Yor," Badr reminded her with a chuckle. "Didn't we also say we were living together? Your current place doesn't exactly scream 'cohabiting couple.'"

"...Right!"

Yor suddenly realized, glancing around her apartment. The furniture and décor were all indicative of a mature, single woman, not someone living with a man...

"It's best to rearrange things. Ideally, a completely unfamiliar environment for your brother would avoid a lot of loopholes. So...it would be best to go to my place."

Yor was taken aback by Badr's suggestion.

"I-I have to move in with you? Won't that be too much trouble?"

"Don't worry. I have an empty villa my parents left me. It'll come in handy."

Badr thought to himself, what a coincidence! Rias had rebuilt his old house into a castle-like mansion at its original location. His old house had been moved intact, and it was located just three streets away.

"Well...if you insist..."

"Yes. Let's meet there tomorrow after you're done. It's best to arrive an hour or two early. We need to make some preparations..."

"Okay..."

Yor remembered she still had assassination missions today and tomorrow...

It was going to be a busy time...

…

Since Yor had a mission to eliminate traitors tonight, Badr didn't stay long at her apartment.

After confirming their meeting time for tomorrow, he took his leave.

As for Yor, she didn't even change her clothes, heading straight out to eliminate her targets in her black dress...

Teleporting back home, Badr found that Rias and the others hadn't returned yet. He was the first to complete his assignment.

He plopped down on the sofa, rubbing his temples and exhaling slowly.

Tomorrow would be hectic. Not only did he need to rearrange the villa, but he also had to consider all the details of cohabitation to avoid slipping up...

So he sat there, resting with his eyes closed while mentally running through various scenarios for tomorrow, preparing countermeasures in advance.

Around eight in the evening, the teleportation circles activated one after another as Rias and the others returned, having completed their assignments.

"Ah, I'm sorry I'm late. I'll start dinner right away," Asia said apologetically, quickly changing her clothes to head to the kitchen.

"Don't bother, Asia. Let's order in tonight. You deserve a rest."

Badr cared for Asia and didn't want her to overwork herself.

"That's a good idea. I'll just call and have something delivered. Everyone worked hard on their assignments today."

Rias also cared for her peerage, pulling out her phone with a smile and ordering a feast.

Asia smiled too. She loved this atmosphere. Compared to her life at the church, it was incomparable.

Being able to live harmoniously with everyone like this, surrounded by their care and affection, made her feel incredibly happy.

Soon, dinner arrived. After they finished eating, everyone went about their usual evening routines – bathing, training, etc. Only Badr remained on the sofa, lost in thought.

"What's wrong? You seem exhausted today," Akeno Himejima approached, leaning down towards him.

Fresh from her bath, she wore a thin white yukata, nothing underneath. As she leaned closer, the neckline dipped, revealing ample cleavage.

"Just thinking about the details of tomorrow's assignment. It's a bit of a tricky one," Badr explained with a faint smile. "I'm not exactly tired, just spent the whole day running around, and I don't feel like moving."

"Oh my? Poor thing..." Akeno's expression turned seductive as she straddled Badr's lap, her arms around his shoulders. "In that case, let Akeno comfort you and revitalize your spirits."

Looking at Akeno's long, slender legs, Badr was speechless.

This position was almost too much to bear... He was definitely aroused.

Akeno smirked triumphantly, showering his ears with kisses.

Her warm breath tickled his ear, sending shivers down his spine.

"A-ke-no....." A disapproving voice came from the side.

Rias, having finished her bath, had returned to the living room. She immediately spotted Akeno attempting to seduce Badr and spoke up in a chilly tone.

"I can never let my guard down around you, can I?" Rias said coldly.

Akeno, still clinging to Badr, replied with a smile, "What's the harm? Honestly, Rias, you're so stingy." She then playfully nibbled on Badr's ear, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

Rias was left speechless.

"Akeno-senpai...how could you? It's our turn tonight..." Asia approached, pouting at the sight of Akeno's actions. She was clearly jealous.

Badr, with his face buried in Akeno's embrace, sighed inwardly. These women were hard to handle...

Both Rias and Akeno grimaced slightly. According to their established rotation, it was indeed Asia and Xenovia's turn to share Badr's bed tonight. With the rules set, they reluctantly relinquished their claim on him.

In the bedroom, on the extravagant five-meter wide bed, Badr had barely lain down when Xenovia and Asia eagerly snuggled close, one on each side, their arms wrapped around his waist.

"So warm..." Asia murmured contentedly, pressing herself against Badr.

Looking at Asia's affectionate demeanor, Badr's expression softened. He gently embraced her smooth body.

"Asia, I will always protect you." He kissed her forehead tenderly. This loving gesture brought tears to the young nun's eyes, though a happy smile graced her lips.

She laughed and cried at the same time, nodding repeatedly in bliss.

"I love you most."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Asia initiated a passionate kiss.

Badr kissed Asia gently, stroking her back with tenderness as they intertwined.

Xenovia, watching Asia's blissful expression, felt a stirring within herself.

It seemed...quite pleasant.

When Asia finally broke the kiss with a soft moan, Xenovia couldn't contain her anticipation.

"My turn now... Come on, let me experience that joy too..."

Badr chuckled softly, guiding Xenovia to bend over, her back facing him…

…

The next morning.

Standing before the mirror, Badr examined the scratch marks on his back, wincing slightly.

Good heavens, Xenovia had been wild.

She had actually drawn blood.

"...Sorry, I got a little carried away..." Xenovia approached, a hint of embarrassment in her voice. She hugged him apologetically and gently licked his wounds.

"That should make it feel better..."

"..."

Badr couldn't help but laugh. "It's not that serious. We can just have Asia heal it with her Sacred Gear later."

In truth, even without any treatment, Badr's current physique would heal quickly. However, when it came to healing, Asia's abilities were unparalleled.

"I'll be more careful next time..." Xenovia was unusually shy, surprised by how lost in the moment she had become.

Even now, she could still savor the memory...

Oh no, she was getting addicted...

Was she falling?

But then Xenovia realized something. She was already a devil, wasn't she?

She wasn't a Holy Priestess anymore. As a devil, wasn't it perfectly normal to indulge in desire?

So, it was fine...

…

Since it was Saturday, everyone had a full schedule of assignments.

After a brief rest, they all set off in a hurry.

Badr shared a tender kiss with Rias before sending her off, then teleported to his relocated old house.
