How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories

The Pendragons naturally gave conditions for Masaru to fulfil them in the future through a magic contract for the scabbard to which Masaru agreed with since he does have plans to be near their targets since his mission in the United Kingdom was finally over, Masaru left straight for his home through teleportation.

When he came back home he could see the girls were busy training their controls with the Balls and Puppets downstairs, it appears Everest was busy playing whack a Riser to train her reflexes to aid her weakness in her speed that was not up to par with her natural strength and defence. "I'm home!" Masaru called out the moment he entered the house, he could hear the sound of something made out of metal dropping on the floor in the kitchen before footsteps came towards the hall, shortly he saw his mother standing in the hallway looking at him quite a surprised expression before she sprinted towards him, gripping him in a tight hug he could swear he would have died if his body was not resilient.

Diana did not ask any questions but only held her son tightly, it was difficult for her to hold her urge to go to where Masaru was this past month, but seeing her son was still fine she felt relieved and happy. Masaru gently ċȧrėsses Diana's back while looking at Julia who smiled warmly at the mother hugging her son so tightly, "Yo Julia neesama, how was it?" Julia giggled, "Other than holding back your mother everything went quite normal back here" Masaru nodded, he knew his mother was quite, overprotective.

"Ma-kun?" Akeno came out, "Master?" Stephani followed by, "Onii-sama" Shirone after, soon each girl came from the underground making sure it was Masaru who was standing in the hallway, it was probably because the hallway was too small or the girls were giving this moment to Diana who still held Masaru which they did not come over to hug him. "M-Mom... It's getting embarrassing" Masaru spoke feeling this was indeed getting a bit embarrassing, "Shush! You made me so worried, It was a month! a Month!!! Need to recharge my Masanium energy right now" The girls all nodded at Diana's words as they too needed to recharge, only Masaru thought to himself 'What the heck is Masanium? Sounds like I am some kind of Metal'

The dinner was quite lively and chatty but later than night, Masaru felt like he could die, literately die if he were to get more girls than this. Because they all were wearing negligee as sleepwear, but then again he made to enjoy the feeling while he fell asleep in Akeno's embrace. Why not touch? a Promise is more important than ŀust if what he kept reminding himself.

The students who noticed their most beloved and hated Demon King came back to school, the number of casualties among the perverts went up as they were escorted to the infirmary after getting beaten up by girls since Masaru pulled a prank on them to get them noticed by the girls ahead of time. Naturally, the number of complaints came in fast once again, Masaru was currently reading the complaints with a big smile feeling quite relaxed. Compared to his little adventure of lowering his head because he had to, here he could simply laugh in the faces of these useless complaints that is baseless without proof of his involvement.

"You haven't come to greet me huh?" Sona came together holding a chess set in her hands before taking her seat in front of Masaru setting up the game, this was something she wanted to do since it has been a month she last played against Masaru and her current opponents were simply too boring for her. "Well this is a surprise Sona Kaichou, I am glad to see your just a beautiful as I last saw you" Sona looked at Masaru with questioning eyes before continuing to set up the board game, "Well I too am glad you came back safe, it is boring not having a decent opponent" Masaru chuckled knowing Sona was not honest with her emotions and always the A+ Student who wants to lead an example for others because of her dream.

Soon the two of them began playing their game, "How have things been here while I was gone?" Sona adjusted her glasses before countering Masaru's knight move, "It has been hectic, since you were gone the number of pervert complaints were back to before you came first to school and now it dropped down and instead the perverts are complaining about yout" Masaru rubbed his chin thinking quite hard how Sona managed to trap him in this kind of shitty situation on the board, 'Maybe I gotten rusty' Masaru thought, "Well I can imagine they would complain but there is no proof I was involved after all" Masaru grinned when he figured out something and moved his queen piece, "Well considering how you are using our students are your guinea pigs, please be sure to hold back. There was one student who really cried when he turned into a female yesterday but luckily he came back as a male again"

"Oh, That one! That was my sister, Elizabeth latest Eunuch Bombs, it was quite scary to see the transformation as a Male watching a male turning into a woman... But it really is ingenious though" Sona placed the last piece, "Checkmate, and really you need to control your urge to test her creations of kids!" Masaru chuckled nodding his head to show her he would consider it, yes consider it but the two of them knew there was no way in hell Masaru will stop trying new items on such strong-willed kids. That was the fun thing about being a devil because the moment people start to question you can simply manipulate their memories and at times they simply think the kids are delusional. 'Schools in this human world sure is fun' Masaru thought as he watches Sona leave the Disciplinary Committee office after having her daily dosage of a chess game.

Timepass by with the school days remains the same with only a few pranks here and there, till finally the time for a vacation has arrived.

>/<

Before Masaru went home for the school vacation he was invited to visit Sirzech which is ultimately related to the talks Masaru had with Azazel, Masaru was quite relaxed as he was considering of doing Rias a little favor as a afterthought when he arrives since he was a bit annoyed looking at how people are totally ignoring the problems and the rumours about Rias and Riser's engagement was also putting a bad influence over Masaru's company since he was partnered with the Gremories and Phenex so ultimately he will prevent future scandals from affecting his business here and now.

From the looks of it the Gremories truly lived up to their name as a Duke family, their villages transformed into towns and their towns into cities. It could be said their power has grown and it will not be farfetched to say they may soon raise up to an Archduke like Belial Family, which makes the current issue more important to be dealt with earlier. 'Getting Lord Gremory to realize his stupidity will work but it will still be impossible to cancel the engagement with the Phenex Family, at least with this when Rias plans to use the Rating Game as a means to break off the engagement her family will stand behind her 100% while Phenex will be forced to deal with their son that is bringing shame to them... Although I kind of feel pissed being compared with that man just because my peerage is full of women' Masaru thought

'If this devil world did not have DeviTube or the newspaper reporters then I would not have to make a move and simply let them deal with it, now the newspapers are writing any story they can find while writing the most exaggerated nonsense that I would have believed they could write novels...' Masaru reasoned with himself, he honestly did not like to get involved and doing Rias a favour was only an afterthought. Soon Masaru arrived at the Manor where Grayfia awaited for him alone, "Welcome Masaru-sama" Masaru nodded, "It's been a while Grayfia, how is Millicas?" Grayfia walked next to Masaru, "He is doing quite well, he is smart and has his father's dignity" Masaru looked at Grayfia who had a stoic face, "What about his mother? Bet he inherits her looks" Grayfia said nothing but felt happy.

"Ma-kun! You finally arrive" Sirzech was currently still dressed formally but without his jacket which is close to borderline semi-formal, "Good day Sirzech-sama" Sirzech sighed feeling a bit depressed at this boy who is doing the same thing his sister is doing, "Don't be so grumpy, you will get grey hair faster that way..." Masaru muttered with a smirk allowing Sirzech to laugh when he realizes Masaru was teasing him, "I can see your paperwork shows no sign of getting finished" Masaru looked at the papers Sirzech been signing off, the latter was feeling tired of paperwork so he sat on the opposite of Masaru on the couches.

The two of them first chatting about how things went, especially Masaru's latest Mission made Sirzech sighed with relief that the final gate location was found and the current one was sealed so they could relax a bit now that the creatures will not easily be coming out again. "Ma-kun, Azazel told me about your wish to infiltrate the Old Satan group?" Masaru nodded, "Yes, right now our enemies are mixed working together because currently our three factions are sort of in peace because we signed a non-aggression pact to allow each force to recoup their losses so naturally there will be people not happy with this, but just as we saw there are groups of them working together in hopes to spark a war, we have no information about them or their locations other than the fact they are traitors. So I intend to only infiltrate them gather their information, research reports, every information they got I will take it"

"Why only the information?" Masaru smiled as he took the cup of tea Grayfia presented to him when she made it while they were talking, "There is a possibility they have researched great deal things, especially things we can't do 'morally' because it is against the law. We can use the information and learn from it as it could contain information that could help us, we can naturally leave it in the hands of Ajuka whom we can trust" Sirzech nodded but Masaru continued, "The other reason is, for example, what if they already have stolen the recipe of the phoenix tears which is the Devil's greatest source of healing supplements? They could have already researched an alternative production method or something entirely different with similar effects... You see, I want to steal their information and make them work hard for us... So we can entertain them" 'Well my men already have the Phoenix Tears recipe and already researching it to make similar products which I can sell at a later stage'

Sirzech cracked up laughing at how Masaru mentioned making the enemies working for them, it was so ironic and funny that he could not help but laugh, "But then Ma-kun, why must it be you?" Masaru took a sip of his tea complimenting it was delicious to Grayfia before answering, "I have the support of Bael, Gremory, Phenex, Sitri along with the four Devil Kings... But I am still quite hated by many, I can simply fake how I am feeling annoyed that someone like you is a devil king blah blah and simply complement the old satan descendants to the skies"

Sirzech nodded but Grayfia asked, "How can you convince them?" Masaru smiled, "Simple, I just have to insult the devil kings and say they are the real satans. If the descendants of the old satans were smart enough then they would realize their dreams is simply futile in the current Devil's state" Sirzech thought for a moment before coming to a conclusion, "Very well, I will notify the other Devil Kings we will give you a secret position as an Agent of ours sent to infiltrate the enemies, this title is only for formalities sake in case the other families find you in that group... This is only to prevent them from calling for your head"

Masaru nodded, he could understand. Infiltrating an enemy group is all well and good but there are people who use this as an excuse to get rid of people especially their enemies. With the secret agent position under Sirzech and him being a disciple of Ajuka he was at least guaranteed to not have such problems when he gets caught, soon they concluded this topic and Masaru gestured to Grayfia to take her seat. "Now I wish to speak with you two as family members of the Gremory family"

"I know the two of you are not happy about Rias Engagement" Hearing the subject the two of them became quite serious, "The reason I am getting involved is because the rumours about this engagement is reflecting badly on the businesses I have with the Phenex and Gremories, the current rumours for the Gremories is quite harsh... I mean they are calling the Gremory a Ranch for piggies under the name of pure blood" Sirzech was not angry at this since he waited for Masaru to continue, because this rumour was real after all. "The reason they used the term piggies, apparently it was because the family does not care to sent their Heir to become the wife of a man who will use her only as a breeding bag to give birth to pureblood kids, the worst part is the fact the husband has many girls in his peerage he treats as his toys which he will keep with him that will also give birth to more kids, the heiress of the Gremory Family will have to look after kids that is not even her thus turning her into a housewife with no chance of pursuing her own dreams"

"This rumour is not because of the children but because of the parents, so I hope you can shed light to your father about this situation and also tell him I am not happy, unlike my father who hates to get involved in other families I hate it when things reflect on my family..." Masaru took another sip of his last remaining tea, "I know you won't be able to stop the engagement, but you can step up as the son and scold your father to make him realize his stupidity. At least when Rias fights Riser to break off the engagement the Gremory Family will be entirely behind her, and the Phenex family will be forced to reform their child... So I will have to ask you to become an unfilial son and scold him"

"Your quite harsh to say that rumour upfront without filtering the insults, but you are indeed correct I should have made my moves... Since you requested it of me I can use it as an excuse to make my move, thanks Ma-kun" Sirzech smiled brightly as if he regained some energy, what Masaru said was hurtful but he has gotten a chance to make some movements for his sister, "But your even more Harsh Sirzech" Sirzech rubs his forehead while listening to Masaru as he continues, "I don't want to complain or anything, but you need to reevaluate your love for your sister... From my perspective your love is nothing more than a cage and Rias is the bird, you kept spoiling her to the point she neglected training, her judgement as a king is horrible and she has no sense of danger..."

Sirzech felt his heart being pricked, he could understand why Masaru was pointing these facts out for him, "The reason I am pointing this out is the Fact her Best friend had to become something she was not to wake her up and during the Kyoto Event she almost gotten herself killed by a stray witch... Rias is my Friend, you are my friend as well... So I could no longer sit back, so I hope you can forgive my harsh words" Sirzech shook his head, "No, I had it coming... I knew it but by the time things were the way they were I could no longer stop it... Guess I really was scared to be hated by my own sister"

"Well at least things are better right now, so can I ask your help to keep it that way?" Sirzech nodded, without Masaru realizing it Grayfia was questioning her manner of bringing up Millicas and decided to be less strict on him to allow him to call her mother but she will still train him hard and teach him proper manners. The three of them continued to chat happily before Masaru left, "It's about time someone lecture you" Grayfia spoke with a harsh cold tone, because she was the maid of Gremory Family she could not do anything about the manner how Rias was brought up but she still made sure to prevent it with Millicas at least. "Aiya! I guess I really was in the wrong to have a child point at my mistakes, it hurts my pride" Grayfia looked at him, "Your siscon pride?"
