"Lavinia, I have a recommendation for someone to make a contract with you. If you manage to make that man have a good impression of you and get on good terms with him."
"Let alone the problems Grigori has, Grauzaburer's problems should also be easily solved by him."
In a bar.
Azazel looked at the young woman sitting in front of him.
The young woman was beautiful, no doubt about it. She had long flowing blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes, milky white skin and a curvaceous figure with large breasts under her Magician's robe.
Under normal circumstances, a man like Azazel would lust after such beauty, but for the young woman in front of him, he dared not do so.
Or rather he must not make the other party lower her judgment of him.
Lavinia Reni, a Human Magician from the Grauzaburer organization, one of the most prominent Magician organizations in the supernatural world.
She looked at Azazel with confusion in her sapphire blue eyes. What was called contracting for a magician like herself was becoming someone's contracted magician.
Just as devils could make contracts with humans, human magician could also do so.
Now that Azazel was rumored to have been revived by someone at the Three Faction Peace Treaty conference, the news of this was naturally only known to the people in Grigori and him who was also an agent there and the people present at the Peace Treaty conference.
Lavinia was certainly happy that the leader of Grigori had been revived, actually it was quite surprising to her and made her wonder what magic that person used to revive the dead.
As a magician, she was naturally very interested in magic.
But that's not what she should be thinking about right now, Lavinia looked at Azazel and said: "Azazel, is that person the same person who brought you back to life? Isn't that Eiji Seiya?"
"You knew right away? How?" Azazel was a little surprised. Although the news of him being revived won was known to the people in Grigori. The identity of the person who revived him was only known to the higher-ups in his organization such as Baraqiel, and others. There was also Vali, his godson who was at the scene.
But only they knew the person who revived him was a human named Eiji Seiya.
The woman in front of her was different, she had just returned from a mission, normally other than the news about him being revived, she wouldn't know the details, right? After all, Azazel had just planned to tell the other party, but it seemed that she already knew.
"...." Lavinia was silent for a moment.
How should she say it? As a magician of the organization Grauzaburer and Grigori agent. She couldn't even tell her organization's leader if she wanted to, let alone Azazel... There would always be forces that prevented her from saying such things to others.
Actually, she roughly knew who revived Azazel from the inner voices of the people she often heard in her head during these few months.
Yesterday, on the day of the Three Faction Peace Treaty conference, she heard Eiji raving about reviving Azazel, she even knew that man also revived the Devil Faction leader who had been killed by the people of Khaos Bridge back then.
Being unable to tell Azazel the truth, she naturally could only lie by saying. "I have a way to get information with my magic. You know? A magician's trick."
"...Okay, it's fine if you don't want to tell me. So are you willing?"
Azazel was not stupid enough, he could clearly see that Lavinia did not want to tell him. But that was less important than getting Lavinia to agree to make a deal with Eiji!
Why did he do things like this? Don't get me wrong, he didn't have the idea of becoming Eiji's enemy because he knew that boy wasn't someone he and the people in his organization could handle.
Having been killed once and revived once by that boy, he had no proof of who killed him back then, but he was sure it had something to do with Eiji. Putting aside what he told Lavinia about profit, that was actually a lie. Azazel didn't dare to take advantage, he just wanted to curry favor with Eiji to really be on the boy's good side and ensure that the other party no longer had any evil intentions towards him.
And from what he had seen, Eiji seemed to like beauty, the proof was that besides having the heiress Gremory and Sitri as fiancées, he also had other beautiful girls according to the information he had gathered. Wait, he also remembered to revive Sirzechs, Baraqiel said that Grayfia and Serafall seemed to offer themselves to the boy.
That's crazy! It would be a lie if Azazel wasn't jealous of Eiji, especially since he was able to get the last two. One of them was even Sirzechs' wife, and the boy actually dared to steal the wife of the Strongest Devil in the underworld.
And do you know what's even crazier? Not long ago there was news from the underworld that Sirzechs divorced his wife, Grayfia Lucifuge.
Many others may have been confused, but he? Azazel knew that meant Sirzechs didn't mind giving his wife to Eiji!
The boy had a harem filled with beauties of Grayfia and Serafall's level.
Besides being extremely jealous, Azazel was also increasingly afraid of the boy.
He felt unsafe, so just in case...
Lavinia was a very beautiful young woman who happened to also be considered his subordinate as Grigori's agent.
It wasn't that he intended to have her seduce Eiji. Cough, he just wanted Lavinia to make a magician contract with Eiji and let the other party know Grigori really wanted to be on good terms with him. Not only giving Sacred Gear research data, Grigori even sent a woman as beautiful as Lavinia as a contracted magician.
This was proof of Grigori's friendship!
Eiji must understand, right?
As for how Lavinia's relationship with the boy will be. It depends on Eiji, but Azazel is sure that the boy will be interested in Lavinia.
Lavinia's lips twitched, why did she feel Azazel was really urging her to become Eiji's contracted Magician? Is it just because of the benefits he mentioned? It was indeed profitable, but...
"Azazel, I don't mind visiting Eiji Seiya and trying to offer him to make a magician contract with me. But."
"But what? I have his home address, you can go straight there after dressing up to be more beautiful."
Azazel took out a paper from his pocket containing Eiji's home address, he thrust it directly onto the table near Lavinia.
Lavinia was stunned. What the hell? Putting the address aside, what does this have to do with making me dress up prettier before coming to Eiji's house?
Lavinia didn't know, she certainly wasn't too stupid as the best magician in her organization, but she still didn't understand why Azazel was telling her to dress up prettier.
She took the paper containing the address of the house, but did not rush to agree.
"But Azazel, isn't Eiji Seiya very strong? You know people make contracts with magician or devil because that person needs protection or long-term help."
"According to the information I know, Eiji doesn't seem to be someone who needs a bodyguard or anything like that."
"So what's the point for Eiji to make a contract with me?"
"That..." This time it was Azazel who was confused, she hadn't thought of this. More to the point he couldn't say that the advantage Eiji had was of course being able to get a young woman as beautiful as you, Lavinia!
After all, with such strong power, he certainly knew Eiji didn't need a magician or anyone else to protect him.
What about help? What help? Obviously the boy seemed to be able to solve anything on his own with his powers.
The boy could even bring the dead back to life with his magic which proved his magical abilities were much better than witches like Lavinia.
Lavinia who was also a genius witch and the owner of Longinus; Absolute Demise which made her nicknamed Demise Girl and Ice Princess was very strong. But compared to Eiji? Azazel who had seen the boy's power several times, he knew Lavinia was still far behind.
Even so...
"Why don't you try it first? Who knows, that boy might have something he wants from you."
"...."
Lavinia sighed, but she was also curious about the boy named Eiji Seiya whose inner voice she had been hearing.
According to her, Eiji didn't even know his inner voice could be heard by others. Those protagonists whose inner voices she could hear didn't know either.
Lavinia didn't have a good impression of Eiji, she was just curious and had a bit of a bad impression of him because she knew the boy had beaten Vali who she already considered her own younger brother several times.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
"Great!" Azazel smiled, he was certainly happy that Lavinia had been persuaded. He drank the glass of wine on the table in one gulp and started laughing.
Seeing this, Lavinia shook her head, she also drank, but unlike Azazel, she only ordered a cocktail.
But before ordering, a black-haired young man in a bartender's uniform came and brought her a glass of cocktail.
"As usual, right?"
"Tobi? Yes, thank you. Hmn~ your cocktail is good as always."
Lavinia happily drank the cocktail that the dark-haired youth gave her. Actually, before Azazel wanted to talk to her, she had just finished singing for the people at the bar.
Besides being a magician and Grigori's agent, she was also actually an exclusive singer at the Black Dog Bar, a bar specially created by Azazel.
And the man who brought her the drinks, he was her friend and the leader of the group she joined. The group consisted of Sacred Gear users who were trained directly by Grigori. Slash Dog, that was the name of their group and the young man in the bartender's uniform was named Tobio.
"Good that you like it. By the way what were you and the boss talking about, Lavinia? If I may know of course." Tobio kindly asked.
Azazel who heard the young man's question coughed a few times. Damn, maybe because of panic, he forgot about Tobio before persuading Lavinia to please Eiji under the pretext of making a contract with him.
If possible, it was better that Tobio didn't need to know, but Lavinia was a very good woman, before he could prevent it.
"Oh. Azazel recommended me someone to make a magician contract with me." Lavinia said happily, she seemed to be enjoying her cocktail very much.
"Making a magician contract with someone? So this is finally coming."
"Hm? Tobi, what's coming?"
"Ah no. I mean who's the lucky person who can make our Demise Girl a contracted magician? A man or a woman?" Tobio was still smiling softly, especially when he looked at Lavinia.
"It's a man." Lavinia replied casually, not at all noticing Tobio's slightly raised eyebrows.
Tobio rolled his eyes slightly at Azazel.
"Hello boss, how are you? Glad you look okay."
"Hahaha really? Why do I feel like you're a bit different from usual?"
"That's just your imagination. So who is it?"
Is this the attitude towards your boss? Azazel complained in his heart. Tobio was usually a good kid, he was quite quiet, gentle, and cared deeply for his friends.
He was the strongest fighter as the owner of Longinus Canis Lykaon in Grigori's special elite team that he created and was named Slash Dog by that young man.
But now. Is it just him or Tobio...
'This is a bit troublesome.'
...
Meanwhile.
"The green color looks good."
"No, Grayfia. How could you give your master a green color?"
"...But Eiji-sama, the green color looks bright and nice. It's very pleasing to the eye."
"No, find another color. That kind of color only suits other men, not me."
"Are we still talking about the same shade of green?"
"Yes, we are."
In the shopping center after Eiji and girls like Rias and the others came home from school.
Grayfia put the green scarf back on the clothes rack, and looked at Eiji who was standing beside her doubtfully.
As a maid, knowing the ingredients in the refrigerator were almost gone. Originally she planned to buy dinner ingredients herself this afternoon, there was a blonde girl named Asia Argento who was also a maid like her at Eiji's house who wanted to come with her. But she refused and said she would do it herself.
The blonde girl could help her cook later.
However, it was Eiji who then inexplicably wanted to come with her to shop for groceries, she wanted to refuse but the other party insisted. Since the other party was now her master, she also could not refuse so much as it would go against her maid etiquette.
The two of them shopped for groceries together, but after that Grayfia remembered that it would soon be winter, she advised Eiji to buy clothes for himself and the girls living in his house.
Actually it wasn't necessary, winter or not, didn't really affect people with supernatural powers like Eiji, Lala, Rias and the others. Lala even had an invention that made people not have to worry about hot or cold temperatures. There is also Change-Change Clothes-Kun that can make people change into any clothes.
But as superhumans, devils, aliens and so on pretending to be ordinary people in the human world. Of course, there was no harm in buying winter clothes, especially for his womans. So Eiji agreed.
It's just that at this time Eiji refused to buy the green scarf that Grayfia recommended for him.
"...Then what color do you want, Eiji-sama? How about white? It would go well with your silver hair." Grayfia suggested again, she picked up the white-colored scarf on the other side and showed it to the man.
Eiji nodded. "That's good. Take two."
"Two? Does Eiji-sama want to have two pairs to switch between? Why not take another color too?"
"No, I said two because the other one is for you."
"For me?"
"Yes, you also have silver hair. Wouldn't that be nice? It would also suit you very well. We should also look for some clothes for you after this." Eiji said casually as he looked at Grayfia, his gaze sweeping over her long silver hair in braids.
Unlike his own hair, the woman's silver hair looked very beautiful. It was so long that it reached her butt and looked good to pull while they were exercising.
Hm... What was he thinking? Stupid teenage hormones.
Grayfia widened her eyes slightly, her face still expressionless, she was pleased with Eiji's attention, but she shook her head and said: "No, I don't need it, Eiji-sama."
"Why?" Eiji frowned.
Grayfia felt a little scared and strangely excited to see Eiji staring at her in annoyance.
"That's... Eiji-sama, I'm a maid. How can I accept the same things as your womans and you."
[What nonsense? Don't tell me you want to maintain your professional maid etiquette in this situation? Grayfia, you seem to have forgotten your other identity. Do you think I don't know what you were doing while I was sleeping with Rias and the other two girls this morning? You snuck into my room and did something interesting there.]
So you know?
Grayfia's beautiful face flushed slightly, she didn't expect that Eiji was actually awake at that time.
But her other identity? What identity?
Then she was stunned to hear what Eiji said next.
"A maid? Yes, you are my personal maid and servant. After divorcing your husband, you are now my woman. So Grayfia, you should take the scarf for yourself and we will buy other things for you as well."
"B-But Eiji-sama, I..." Grayfia was actually surprised at Eiji's declaration of dominating ownership over her. Although she and Sirzechs had been married many years before, Sirzechs had never said such a domineering thing.
She did not deny what Eiji said, she could indeed be considered his woman now, but her professional maid etiquette was...
A strong arm wrapped around her waist and her chin was pinched, she was forced to look at Eiji's handsome face and his cold gaze.
Wait, is it necessary to stare at her that coldly? But this is good!
"Don't waste time questioning my every decision. I'm not asking, it's an order." Eiji said coldly.
He was of course pretending because he knew this woman liked domineering men. The reason why the Sirzechs of this world could not truly conquer Grayfia's heart after being married to her for so long, he knew it was because Sirzechs were too soft.
If Grayfia was stubborn with her maid etiquette like now, the red-haired man would only continue to coax her with gentle words filled with love.
Grayfia was of course persuaded, but it was because she felt guilty if she continued to reject her husband as a wife.
Unlike Sirzechs, what Eiji was doing now was different. After seeing what Grayfia did while staying with him. He understood that to truly win that woman's heart, he had to dominate her in every way.
And see? It seemed to be effective, Grayfia's face was flushed, her breath was slightly out of breath. Instead of feeling displeased by his attitude, she felt excited to be treated so roughly.
Wasn't this woman just a hidden M who liked to pretend to be cold all the time? Many men including Sirzechs were fooled by her cold mask.
"Alright. Eiji-sama, I'll do it."
"Good maid, I like seeing you obedient like this. Now let's go to the clothing department."
"Y-Yes, Eiji-sama."
Grayfia who still had a blush on her pretty face, she was carrying the shopping basket with one hand, she wanted to carry the other basket too because they were shopping quite a lot. But the other basket was held by Eiji, and her other wrist was gripped tightly by him.
While walking to the clothing department, she actually seemed to be dragged by Eiji to follow him.
Grayfia bit her lip, she really liked this feeling. Sure enough, Eiji was very much to her taste!
The key was that he was dominating and knew how to make her heart pound.
Because of their overly handsome and beautiful appearance, especially Grayfia who wore a French maid uniform to the supermarket. Many people who were also shopping there glanced at them with mesmerized looks.
Eiji and Grayfia didn't care what those people were doing as long as no one dared to disturb them.
However, there was one person who walked following the two from a distance. That person also had silver hair like the two, but he covered his hair with a hood, even his handsome face was hidden by sunglasses and a mouth mask.
"Onee-san...why are you so obedient to that lowly human? You even let him grab you and drag you roughly like that!"
"Is this what a man does to a beautiful and kind woman like you, Onee-san? Eiji Seiya, you bastard!"
"Even though Rizevim-sama ordered me to recruit a man like you, I'm still considering whether it's better for me to kill you or not."
"But you seem like you should be killed!"
If Grayfia was here and saw the man behind the disguise, she would definitely be surprised because it was her younger brother, Euclid!
And Euclid, he was looking at Eiji who actually made his sister a maid and treated her that harshly with murderous intent.
He gritted his teeth, he wanted to go to both of them, tell his sister that it was him, Euclid. Then fighting with Eiji, he knew the other side was strong, but he also had a trump card that he thought was enough to kill the man.
But he hadn't done so since following the two for over an hour. Why?
It was because of the transparent gold-colored screen floating in front of his eyes!
"System, is this enough? I really want to kill Eiji Seiya right now! Let me take off this stupid disguise!"
[Host, please hold back. You can't do it. Do you want this quest to fail? You'll lose rewards and systems if you can't even complete your first quest.]
