When Noah and Aisha appeared at the door of the Occult Research Department, Lias was immediately stunned.

"Teacher? How did you end up here? ”

"You said this sentence last time, can't you change it to something fresh?" Noah shrugged, glanced at the maid who had been staring at him, and smiled.

"I just noticed that there seemed to be a guest here, so I just came to visit."

Hearing this, before Lias could say anything, the beautiful silver-haired maid turned her eyes to Lias and spoke expressionlessly.

"Lord Lias, are you planning to involve a human in this matter?"

"What should I do, I know very well myself, I don't need you to ask." Lias frowned, and with a slightly sharp look, she looked directly at the silver-haired maid.

"Or is it, Grufia, that I can't even make my own decisions about this kind of thing?"

"No, I didn't mean that." The maid named Grufia bent down at Lias, her attitude was very low, but there was a sense of neither humility nor arrogance in her words.

"You are the next head of the Jimonri family, and the things you decide are naturally not something I can oppose."

"You're not against it?" Lias spoke out with a rare sarcasm.

"Then why did you come to me when I challenged the family's decision?"

"That's not what I meant, of course." Grufia replied lightly.

"I came here only on the orders of the Lord and the Demon King Lucifer."

Hearing this, it's not just Lias. Juni Himejima and the kitten, who were present, both sank their faces suddenly.

"Demon King Lucifer?" Aisha was frightened by the name.

Not to mention Aisha, even Noah was stunned. He looked at Lias.

Located at the apex of the demon world, Lucifer is one of the four demon kings who rule the entire demon world————.

Why is the Demon King suddenly involved here?

I don't know if I noticed Noah's doubts. Juni Himejima, who was standing behind Lias, explained out loud.

Moreover, as soon as he opened his mouth, Junoshi Himejima revealed the truth that surprised Noah and Aisha.

"The current Demon King, Lucifer, is the elder brother of Minister Lias."

"Brother... Brother? Aisha was stunned.

"Also... In other words, is Lias-senpai's brother the Demon King Lucifer? ”

Juni Himejima and the kitten both nodded, and even Lias smiled bitterly and sighed.

"If I could, I really don't want my brother's name to be used everywhere."

"I can understand your feelings, but even if you don't have the status of the sister of the Demon King Lucifer, you are still the next head of the Jimonri family." Grufia closed her eyes. So to speak.

"So, please don't do anything that will embarrass the Guimonri family."

Lias's complexion suddenly changed from heavy to rather ugly.

"That is, in the end, you still don't plan to listen to me?"

"I'm just reminding Lias-sama not to forget who you are." Grufia suddenly looked at Rias.

"You are the next head of the Jimonri family, your every move represents the Jimonri family, if you insist on doing something like that, then it is Jimonli who suffers, like that. Are you worthy of the Guimonri family? ”

"Don't press me with Jimonri, I know exactly what I'm doing." Lias's expression was getting uglier and uglier, but her eyes were surprisingly determined.

"Since I'm the next head of Gimmonri, at least. Let me decide this kind of thing, and if I can't decide anything, I'd better be inappropriate! ”

This sentence has just fallen. Grufia's gaze sharpened, and she stared straight at Lias.

"Are you serious?"

Grufia. It was a direct abandonment of honorifics.

If Grufia was really just a maid as she looked. Such an act is already very rude.

However, in the face of such a Grufia, Lias actually showed a trace of timidity, but she still looked back firmly.

"I have decided on this matter, Grufia, I will not compromise, I want to be the master for myself, if I can't satisfy you, then, until you agree, I will not go back, and I will no longer claim to be the next head of the Gimonri family!"

With the spread of this sentence, the already tense and heavy atmosphere of the scene suddenly became more numb.

"Ahh

Noah, who had been silently listening to the conversation between Lias and Gurefia, narrowed his eyes, more or less understanding what was going on in front of him.

From what Lias had said, it was clear that the Gimonri family seemed to be forcing Lias to do something.

And Lias was not willing to carry out this matter at all, and finally decided to put forward her own opinion within the family after the conversation with Noah a while ago.

In this way, Lias had a conflict with Gimonri, which attracted Grufia.

I'm afraid that Grufia is here to persuade Rias on behalf of the Gimmonri family, right?

As for the fact that Lias was forced to compromise, judging from Lias's expression in the previous conversation, Noah felt that nine times out of ten it was a matter of marriage contract.

That is to say, the Gimonri family decided a marriage for Lias.

Naturally, Lias, who was disgusted, began to resist.

It's as simple as that.

It's a game between Lias and the Gimonri family.

Then, even Noah, who is not a demon and is not a related person of either party, naturally cannot intervene in it, otherwise it will only cause unnecessary disputes, and even make things transition from Lias and Gimon to the issue of humans and demons, which is not a joke.

So, even if you want to intervene, you have to find an opportunity.

Noah thought about it secretly in his heart and began to look for an opportunity to intervene.

Who knows, opportunities always come unknowingly.

"Buzz ————!"

In the corner of the Occult Research Department, the huge magic array carved into the ground suddenly lit up, shaking the air and emitting a blinding light.

In the light, the magic array that originally carved the coat of arms of the Jimonri family began to slowly deform and turn into another pattern.

The moment they saw this pattern, Lias, Juni Himejima, and Kitten were all shocked.

"That's?"

At the same time that the eyes of everyone present were attracted by the strange magic array that suddenly appeared, a burst of scorching flames suddenly burned along the edge of the magic array.

And in the scorching flames, a figure slowly emerged.

Seeing the owner of this figure, Lias's expression became extremely gloomy, and her eyes were full of unkindness.

Noah followed Lias's gaze, and as a result, what caught his eyes was a man wearing a red suit, not even a tie, and the shirt under the suit was also casually open to his chest, although his facial features were upright, but there was a hint of viciousness in his expression.

The man was probably in his early twenties, a few years older than Noah.

However, when the other party turned his head and looked at Lias, the smile on his face was no different from that of ordinary gangsters, and there was no taste of maturity at all.

"Oh, Lias, I'm here to see you."

Lias's complexion became more and more unkind, and even if she didn't bring any disgust, the unhappy feelings instantly infected everyone present.

Seeing this scene, Noah had some clarity on the identity of the comer.

"Let me introduce you to it." Gurefia stepped forward just right, speaking in a tone so impartial that it was reminiscent of a robot, and spoke coldly.

"This is Rysel? Phoenix, the third son of the Phoenix family, a pure-blooded demon family in the underworld, is also the betrothed of Lord Lias, and the fiancé of the next head of the Gimmonri family. ”

Sure enough, Grufia's introduction was basically exactly the same as Noah expected.

The guy in front of him, named Rysel, is the betrothed person arranged by the Gimonri family to Lias.

Looking at the casual hand in his pocket, with a wicked smile on his face as if he could bully the weak at any time, and his every move was no different from a gangster, the corners of Noah's mouth slowly hooked.

The opportunity to intervene was delivered to the door by myself...... (To be continued......)
