After having a simple lunch at the hotel, Bokue prepared to leave.
Although he had left home early in the morning, most of his time was spent dealing with the rescue of Sheila from the Northern Territories in the Underworld. Up until now, he hadn't yet checked in with Yukina Himeragi.
If he continued to delay, a certain Sword Shaman girl's eyes might grow sharp again.
"Then, you guys can stay here for now."
In the hotel suite living room before departing, Bokue casually instructed Mio and Maria.
"I have other matters to attend to this afternoon. And I also need to return to the Gremory household in the Underworld to discuss your situation. I suppose they'll probably prepare some sort of welcome event… maybe?"
Recalling Rias's reaction when he mentioned Mio last night, Bokue suddenly wasn't quite so sure.
However, there shouldn't be any major issues.
After all, Mio was Rias's cousin, and Rias herself was the archetypal "girl trying hard to appear mature, but still inherently a bit tsundere". Even if she verbally expressed reluctance, once she actually met her cousin Mio, she would undoubtedly soften right away.
"Eh? A welcome party…?"
Mio grimaced slightly. Even though she was technically the daughter of Wilbert, the former Demon Lord of the Northern Realm, she'd never lived a noble's life. Suddenly hearing there would be a welcome party thrown in her honor felt strangely awkward.
Bokue continued nonchalantly:
"As for the northern faction, you don't have to worry anymore. Zolgear is already dead. As for the current Demon Lord faction…I went over and gave them a small greeting, so they won't dare to act rashly, at least for the time being."
Gave them a small greeting?
Maria suddenly recalled the brief moment Bokue left during their earlier stay in the North.
"Wait… Bokue-san, back then, when you briefly left… was that actually…?"
"I deliberately left Zolgear barely alive, allowing him to panic and teleport directly to the current Demon Lord faction's headquarters—I believe the Demon Lord's name was Leohart or something."
Bokue shrugged casually, as though discussing a mere swatted mosquito.
"Then, right in front of that Demon Lord, I took his sword and executed his subordinate."
Oh…
Maria's mouth twitched slightly.
Considering the earth-shattering impression left on her when Bokue had obliterated Zolgear with a single slap, she could vividly imagine that scene:
Seizing the enemy's sword and slaying their subordinate right in front of their leader—truly, only Bokue-san could pull something like that off.
"Anyway, that's about it. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now—"
Before Bokue could finish speaking, just as he was preparing to teleport away, a faint weight suddenly settled upon his shoulder, causing him to instinctively glance upward.
Entering his field of vision was Sheila's petite and youthful face, so similar to her daughter Maria's.
The succubus mother had materialized seemingly out of nowhere on Bokue's shoulder, her elegant white-stocking-clad legs gracefully crossed beneath her dress. With a teasing smile, she leaned down sideways, practically brushing her cheek against the top of Bokue's head, whispering softly into his ear:
"Now, now, there's no need to rush off so quickly. Jumping straight into work right after eating isn't good for your health, you know? Besides, our adorable Maria is right here. Aren't you tempted to stay just a little longer~?"
"M-Mom?!"
Hearing herself mentioned, the usually teasing Maria blushed instantly.
Bokue, however, didn't blush at all. Before Sheila could react further, he promptly reached upward, securely grasping her under each arm like holding a small pet, and gently lifted her off his shoulder.
"…Oh?"
Suddenly feeling her bottom lifted into the air, Sheila blinked, momentarily confused, before gently landing back on the floor.
Turning around, she was met with Bokue's kind but firm gaze.
"Like I already said, I still have other business to take care of… Anyway, see you all later."
With that, Bokue's body was enveloped in radiant golden spiritual light once more.
Hmm, since he needed to head to Itogami Island anyway, first he'd check in with Yukina as a sort of "attendance" check-in, and afterward, he'd stop by Asagi's place to check her progress—after all, he hadn't visited her yesterday, so he could also help her "practice" a little more.
Great, that's decided then.
Having finalized his afternoon schedule, Bokue activated the teleportation technique with a swift rotation of spiritual power, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from the room.
Sheila quietly sighed in her heart, staring at the spot where Bokue disappeared.
Oh well, he was gone now. These two silly girls really knew nothing about competition. After all, Bokue was the son-in-law of the Gremory household.
Right now, while they had him alone in the human realm, was the best chance to win his favor. Once they moved to the Underworld later on, they'd be surrounded by his actual family and countless charming, beautiful ladies. Where would these two silly girls find the opportunity to make their move then?
They'd end up forever as distant cousins in name only, regretting missing this golden opportunity forever.
As Sheila reflected quietly, she suddenly recalled the wonderful feeling she'd experienced when she'd gently sucked on Bokue's finger earlier.
That rich, fiery power…She really wanted to taste it again~
❁❁❁❁
Meanwhile, in an apartment within the residential district of Itogami Island.
The quiet living room still held a faint scent of recently eaten lunch, and the slightly damp floor of the recently-used bathroom gently emanated a fresh aroma of shower gel through the open door.
In the bedroom, Nagisa lay comfortably on her bed in pajamas, resting on her stomach, chin propped up by a pillow. Her short, black hair cascaded softly over her back. She extended her arms forward, cupping her phone between her hands. Her gentle wine-red eyes reflected a chat interface that hadn't changed at all for the past three hours.
"Seriously, where did you go, Big Brother…?"
Nagisa sighed softly, a damp breath escaping her lips. Her normally cheerful eyebrows furrowed slightly in frustration.
She had sent Bokue a message around ten in the morning, but now, nearing one in the afternoon, she hadn't received any response. In fact, the messages she had sent earlier still displayed the system prompt "Recipient is out of service area".
Seriously, was Big Brother not in the human realm today? She had even wanted to ask him if he'd come over…
Recalling yesterday afternoon's experiences, Nagisa couldn't help but blush faintly, her cheeks becoming pleasantly warm. She continued holding the phone with one hand, while her other hand gently pressed against her lower belly beneath her pajama shirt, gently testing it.
Today, the feeling of fullness was gone, so…it should be okay to continue doing "that" again, right?
Please hurry and reply soon, Big Brother. Nagisa really wants to see you…
As if her sincere wish had been granted, suddenly, a flash of golden spiritual energy illuminated the bedside. Bokue's figure appeared out of nowhere within the bedroom.
Hmm?
Bokue blinked, opening his eyes and briefly experiencing a mental freeze upon seeing a room that was familiar but also slightly different from his intended destination.
Wait a minute—hadn't he intended to teleport to Yukina's place just now? But this familiar room seemed to be…
"Ah— Big Brother, you really came~!"
Before Bokue could process what had happened, Nagisa—already on her knees atop her bed, eyes shining with joyous disbelief—threw her phone aside and swiftly knelt upright. Her slender, petite frame lunged forward enthusiastically, wrapping both arms around Bokue's neck. Using just enough strength, she pulled herself close to his ear, whispering softly with a sweet, inexperienced yet utterly alluring tone:
"Nagisa has been thinking about Big Brother all alone for so long…so please, don't hesitate. You can do whatever you want to Nagisa now~"
