Time flew by, and the day of Tenraku’s showdown with Sairaorg finally arrived.
“Look, Ravel-Chan, Koneko-Chan! It’s really a floating island in the sky!” Kunou exclaimed excitedly as she peered her head out of the cable car window.
At this moment, Tenraku and his group were in Agreas, located in the Underworld, where the match between Tenraku and Sairaorg was scheduled to take place. Islands floated in the air, waterfalls cascaded down from them, and rainbows painted the sky in various colors. The dreamlike scene was enchanting, even Tenraku couldn’t help but be amazed by this artificially created scene.
The match was set to occur in a city on one of these floating islands. To reach the island, they could either use a transmission formation or a magical ship, but the most fitting way to enjoy the scenery was by taking the cable car.
This time, the showdown between Tenraku and Sairaorg was a significant event, and Yubelluna and the group of girls from his Peerage couldn’t miss it. Rias, Akeno, and the girls in her peerage also came to support Tenraku, and even Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarner— three fallen Angels— joined the journey.
In the past, Tenraku would never have brought Fallen Angel girls to the Devil’s territory, but the relationship between Fallen Angels and Devils had improved significantly in the recent time, making their presence less of a rarity.
Admiring the scenery around them, as Tenraku and his group reached the floating island and stepped off the cable car, they coincidentally encountered Azazel and Gasper, who had just arrived via a transmission formation.
“Tenraku-Sama, everyone!” Gasper ran towards them with a joyful expression.
Gasper had been receiving special training from Azazel in Grigori Headquarters, and his transformation was quite remarkable. His once pale skin was now a bit tanned, and his previously slender figure had become more muscular.
“Gasper, you’re finally starting to look like a man,” Tenraku praised as he patted Gasper’s shoulder.
Touched beyond measure, Gasper burst into tears of happiness. He was finally recognized as a man by Tenraku-Sama; it was truly a remarkable achievement!
With a sweatdrop, Tenraku’s mouth twitched. He had just praised the boy, but now Gasper was back to his usual self, crying and sobbing as if he hadn’t received any recognition. Though a bit exasperated, Tenraku didn’t quell Gasper’s enthusiasm and suggested he go play with Koneko-Chan and the others.
“Azazel, why are you here too?” Tenraku was genuinely surprised by Azazel’s presence.
“Kid, do you even realize how much attention your match with Sairaorg has garnered?” Azazel looked at Tenraku with an odd expression.
“Attention? What attention?”
Azazel sighed with disbelief at Tenraku’s bewildered look, then pointed in another direction. Tenraku, along with Rias and her girls, followed Azazel’s gaze and saw a large crowd rapidly approaching.
People were holding microphones and cameras, and in the blink of an eye, they were right in front of Tenraku’s group, surrounding them.
“Tenraku-San, Rias-San, we’re journalists from the Underworld TV station. Please spare a moment to be interviewed by us.”
“Mr. Tenraku, you’re about to face off against the next in charge of the House of Bael, Mr. Sairaorg. Do you have confidence in winning?”
“Miss Rias, as Mr. Tenraku’s fiancée, what are your thoughts on this match?”
“Miss Yubelluna, as Mr. Tenraku’s Queen, may we ask…”
The reporters bombarded them with questions, their voices creating a cacophony that was both annoying and overwhelming. Flashlights were blindingly bright, and Tenraku soon realized that no matter how he answered, it wouldn’t satisfy them.
Initially, he tried to respond diplomatically, but he quickly realized he was wrong. Whether human or Devil, these so-called journalists were relentless paparazzi. No matter what you said, it would never be enough for them. While the initial questions were somewhat reasonable, the later ones were utterly ridiculous.
“Mr. Tenraku, Miss Rias, when are you planning to get married and have children? Have you thought of names?”
“Tenraku-sama, with countless beauties by your side, it’s said that some have even taken to calling you the ‘Sex Dragon Emperor.’ What are your thoughts on this nickname?”
Tenraku… felt his eye twitch. He really had the urge to slap these guys.
“When Rias and I decide to get married and have children is none of your business! We’re not in a hurry, so why are you rushing us?”
Calling me the “Sex Dragon Emperor” and then asking for my opinion… Once I find the person who coined that term, I will roast him before healing him and roasting him again!
It wasn’t just Tenraku; Rias and her group were facing a similar situation. One reporter holding a microphone had the audacity to claim he saw Yubelluna somewhere having a private meeting with someone last night, and he asked her if that was true. Yubelluna was so furious she nearly used her magic to give him a piece of her mind.
If she had been with someone else last night, who else could have been left writhing in agony due to Tenraku-Sama’s antics?!
Finally, Tenraku and the girls managed to get into the private car and headed to the arena, leaving behind these extremely obnoxious paparazzi.
“HāHāHā… Kid, do you get it now? As the two most dazzling novas of the new generation in the Underworld, your match against Sairaorg has caught the attention of countless people. Not only from our Angel and Fallen Angel sides, but also from the Eastern God System, the Greek God System, and the Northern European God System; many individuals have come to witness your match.”
Sitting across from Tenraku, Azazel burst into laughter as he spoke.
“I just want to have a good fight with Sairaorg. I don’t want to deal with these annoying people anymore,” Tenraku replied with a dark expression on his face.
“Well, well, as your fame grows, situations like this will become commonplace. If you find it troublesome, get yourself an agent. Let your agent handle these matters for you,” Azazel suggested while Rias, sitting beside Tenraku, nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, Tenraku should consider getting an agent.”
As the Demon King’s younger sister and the next in line to lead the Gremory family, Rias was an idol-like figure with immense popularity in the Underworld. However, she was both intelligent and capable enough to handle such matters on her own. This wasn’t the case with Tenraku.
It wasn’t that Tenraku couldn’t handle it, but he simply didn’t have the patience for it. Once or twice might be fine, but if such situations happened frequently, he might just lose his temper at any given moment.
If one day the Underworld’s news suddenly featured headlines like “Breaking News: Rampaging Red Dragon Emperor!” it would be quite a spectacle.
“Onii-Chan, let me be your agent!” Ravel’s eyes lit up suddenly.
“Ravel, are you serious?”
Looking at Ravel’s eager expression, Tenraku couldn’t help but smile.
“Hmph, don’t underestimate me, Onii-chan. I’ll surely become an excellent agent. You can entrust everything to me!” Ravel said confidently, patting her chest.
She didn’t want to be just a cherished ornament. If she became Onii-chan’s agent, she could help him and be by his side whenever he needed. Ravel didn’t want to hand such an important position to anyone else.
“Onii-chan, I want to be your agent too,” Kunou’s voice came from the side, as she tugged on Tenraku’s clothes.
“Kunou, you want to be an agent too?”
“Even though I don’t know much yet, I can learn from Ravel-chan. I want to help Onii-chan too.”
With a blush on her face, the little fox princess exhibited a serious expression as she spoke, surprising Tenraku.
“If Kunou wants to be an agent, then go ahead. You and Ravel will be my agents from now on.”
“Please take care of us, your two agent princesses,” He said while patting their heads.
“Sure thing! Please take care of me too, Onii-chan!” Kunou responded with a happy smile.
Ravel seemed a little dissatisfied by this, but this clumsy little fox usually listened to her, so she would just share the position of being Onii-chan’s agent with her…
