"By the way, where will you be staying, Irina?"
"Huh? I was told I could stay at Kazu-nii's place... You hadn't heard?"
On the way to his household, as everyone had decided to hold a welcome party for Irina, Kazuki casually asked. Irina looked at him with a puzzled expression and said that.
"I hadn't heard...?"
Kazuki glanced at Rias, who was walking on the other side of Irina. She seemed unaware as well, shaking her head slightly.
There were plenty of empty rooms, so it wasn't a problem, but he wished he'd been informed about these things beforehand.
Between Sirzechs and Michael, the top leaders of this world really weren't good at reporting, contacting, and consulting.
"Um... is it no good after all?"
Irina made a worried face, and Kazuki gave her a wry smile.
"No, it's fine. I was just surprised because I hadn't heard about it."
When he said that, Irina smiled brightly and said, "I'm glad."
While they were talking like that, they arrived at the house. As they stepped through the entrance—
"Welcome home, Master, Young Ladies!!"
They were greeted by a line of maids standing side-by-side.
"Grayfia-san? What is this...?"
The three maids standing next to Grayfia were all from the Gremory main house, who had looked after them during the summer.
"Upon the Madam's suggestion, it was decided to dispatch these three to the human world to attend to all of you and manage this household. All three are my servants, but I have personally trained them and instructed them to regard Kazuki-san and Lady Rias as their masters. We look forward to serving you."
"We look forward to serving you!"
Following Grayfia, the three maids bowed gracefully in unison. Kazuki glanced at Rias; she shook her head, indicating she hadn't known either.
'This is why I keep saying they need better communication!'
After returning from the Underworld, he had suggested that Kuroka, now nineteen, attend Kuoh University, but she had refused, saying, "That sounds like too much trouble, nya." So, officially, she had been made the house manager.
But he knew the free-spirited Kuroka wasn't suited for it, and he had been thinking they needed a proper manager, so this was a welcome solution. Since these maids were trustworthy, there was no reason to refuse.
"I understand. We look forward to having you."
"Thank you for accepting us. Now, let us reintroduce ourselves—"
Once Kazuki gave his approval, Grayfia prompted the maids to introduce themselves.
"Yes. I am Siesta, a Pawn serving Lady Grayfia. I will be in charge of all general housekeeping duties."
Siesta, with her black bobbed hair, was the girl who had been assigned exclusively to Asia before.
"I'm Airi. I'm a Knight serving Lady Grayfia, and I'll be mainly handling security!"
Airi, the red-haired twin-tailed girl who had been assigned to Xenovia, was wearing a miniskirt maid uniform, unlike the other two. The absolute territory between her miniskirt and knee socks was dazzling.
"I am Mysel, a Pawn serving Lady Grayfia. I will provide support to the two of you as the situation requires."
Finally, Mysel. She was the girl with light brown hair tied in twin tails who had been assigned exclusively to Kazuki and the one he had interacted with the most. A smile naturally rose to his lips at the sight of the brand new white ribbons in her twin tails.
"These three will be serving you all."
"We look forward to serving you!!"
And so, three maids came to the house.
Later, the welcome party for Irina was held, joined by the Sitri peerage after they finished their student council work.
…
"Hum hum hum~♪"
After her bath, Irina walked down the hallway in a good mood.
"But still, this is amazing. The rooms are huge and luxurious, even the bath... and to think this all belongs to Kazu-nii now..."
This high-end apartment building, ten stories above ground, three below, with a total floor area comparable to the Tokyo Dome, was now Kazuki's personal property… It originally belonged to the Gremory family but was transferred to him as a congratulatory gift for his promotion.
"He's really become someone important..."
Kazuki Fuwa was now a High-Class Devil and a member of the nobility. Even though barely two months had passed since they last met, he had become so distinguished.
And also—
"Engaged, huh..."
That's right. Along with his promotion, Kazuki had become Rias's fiancé.
Irina's beloved older-brother-like figure, just one year her senior. She found she couldn't wholeheartedly celebrate his engagement.
'Kazu-nii is surrounded by beautiful girls, led by Rias. He used to be mine!! Kazu-nii alone, so why had things turned out like this?'
'Was it really because I had moved away when my father was transferred...?' Lost in such thoughts as she walked,
"Mmm— Ahh..."
A moist, breathy voice suddenly reached Irina's ears.
"Was that voice...?"
Stopping in her tracks at the strangely sensual voice coming from the room she had just passed, Irina hurriedly checked the nameplate.
It was Xenovia's room.
"So that voice was Xenovia's—"
"Nnhaa, haa~hn!"
Hearing the voice again, Irina jumped with a start.
'What? What is she doing, Xenovia---?'
Xenovia's door was slightly ajar, and the voice seemed to be leaking from there. Irina gulped and, defeated by curiosity, peered softly inside.
There, she saw—
