Grayfia: From Today On, Quit Drinking! / Put On Sunglasses, Love No One
The fact that his closest younger brother had been captured shocked Ren, causing him to gasp in shock.
At this moment, Grayfia chuckled softly.
"So cute!"
"He acted so cool and handsome back then, but now he's reacting like this when he sees me like this."
"So, it seems you're the only one who's ever seen a man like me."
While talking to herself, Grayfia continued to hold Ren's family hostage.
On the other hand, Ren, despite possessing great martial prowess, was unable to use it at all because his family was being held hostage by villains.
Ren, who had never felt so "frustrated" before, could only glare angrily at Grayfia's peach-like... uh, no, her smug face.
"Grayfia, calm down. We've only known each other for a short time, and I'm still a distinguished guest of your Underworld. Are you really going to use this to blackmail me?"
Ren tried to persuade him, but the atmosphere around him soon became so tense and awkward.
With the sound of rushing water, Grayfia looked up at Ren, continuing to hold him hostage while simultaneously covering his face with something she couldn't identify.
Grayfia: "(··)"
Feeling the change in her hand, Grayfia sneered, "I think the one who needs to calm down the most is you."
This guy.
They're still the same as before, getting the benefit but acting innocent.
Ren traveled back hundreds of years, kidnapped her, and talked to her about so many things, leaving a very deep impression on her.
Even though Sirzechs pursued her relentlessly, and even though most people thought they were a perfect match, Grayfia still rejected Sirzechs's advances.
Sirzechs is a good person and a good leader; as the Demon King, his strength is also quite extraordinary.
If it weren't for Ren already being there, planting a seed in her heart beforehand, she herself believes she would have chosen to marry Sirzechs.
But history did not unfold that way.
Grayfia rejected all suitors, solely because of Ren's parting words that they would meet again.
Therefore, the little girl who was deceived back then has been waiting for hundreds of years.
However, now that they've finally met again, this guy actually told her to calm down.
Grayfia felt calmer than ever before.
Ren was quite something back then.
He lied to her, said so much to her, and then just walked away.
Then, back in the modern era, he can immediately reunite with her.
But what about her?
Since her father died in battle, and her brother Euclid disappeared after she discovered his inappropriate feelings for her, Lucifuge Family.
And so she, a female demon, spent hundreds of years alone and miserable during the most turbulent period of the Underworld.
She desperately wanted to grab Ren by the neck and demand, "Are you even a man?"
However, Grayfia also knew very well that this was not Ren's fault.
The other party could only return from the past because the time travel effect had ended.
But she just couldn't swallow her anger.
At that moment, Grayfia suddenly felt a tingling sensation throughout her body.
Because the summit of Mount Everest somehow entered a warm place.
Looking down, I saw that Ren had already shut his mouth.
"This guy..."
Seeing this, Grayfia didn't know what to say.
This guy is truly horribly scum.
They keep saying no, but their bodies tell a different story.
However, she couldn't care less about that now.
With a simple raise of his hand and a downward press of his body, he nearly sent someone's soul flying out of their body.
Although Ren was more than capable of resisting Grayfia, he had no choice but to swallow his anger because of her noble status and his own feelings of guilt.
If he really angered the other party, Grayfia, in a fit of rage, publicly declared that he had raped her, he simply couldn't bear the consequences.
After all, men have a very low social status in modern society, and women can get a man imprisoned simply by posting a complaint on social media.
Ren grew increasingly alarmed. Faced with the potential consequences of disobeying Grayfia, he could only choose silence and submission.
He simply comforted himself silently.
This sacrifice is nothing compared to clearing my name.
After that, Ren lay down in a prince-like position, allowing Grayfia to do as she pleased.
(Knowing that everyone doesn't like reading this, I've omitted 100,000 words here.)
The next day.
Ren looked at Grayfia was lying there like a lump of mud beside him, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
They actually dared to try and force him to submit by using his physical strength?
Unfortunately, even a demon is nothing more than a small karami compared to him now.
Moreover, despite Grayfia's mature and sophisticated demeanor, she's actually no different from a complete novice in this regard.
There were absolutely no tricks involved; I just filled in the numbers.
Most people would have surrendered long ago.
In terms of sheer numbers, Ren has never been afraid of anyone.
So the governor, who was initially full of arrogance, mounted his horse and led the army in a very domineering manner, but after a few hundred rounds, he was cut down by Ren.
However, it is commendable that she did not beg for mercy from Ren, but instead gritted her teeth and silently endured everything.
All I can say is that she's quite assertive in this regard.
The only problem is that the technique is a bit lacking.
"He actually fell asleep here in the middle of the night."
Ren glanced at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but sigh.
He was still in the private bathroom at Lucifuge's house.
We slept together, completely honest with each other.
If it weren't for Grayfia strong constitutions, they would have definitely caught a cold.
Looking at Grayfia, who seemed to still be sleeping beside him, Ren took out a bath towel from his storage space and covered her with it.
Even though I was in a passive position, I should at least show some gentlemanly manners.
However, just as he was about to pick up Grayfia and find a bedroom, she suddenly woke up.
His eyes were fixed on Ren, his gaze carrying a chilling intensity.
However, Grayfia saw him the same way last night, and as for the ending, I won't say more.
Ren has come to deeply understand what it means to be cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and what it means to be kind-hearted and compassionate.
In the ensuing silence, Ren felt he should take the initiative, so he politely nodded to Grayfia: "Thank you for the treat."
"..."
Upon hearing Grayfia, even Gurefia's usually placid face twitched slightly.
Until the very end.
Thoughts raced through my mind, finally settling into a sigh, "Since you're already up, you should leave. I was too impulsive last night."
"I absolutely love this impulse, but don't worry, although it's a bit sudden, I won't ask you to take responsibility."
"?"
Grayfia's expression changed.
Shouldn't she be saying that?
"Just kidding. But even though other people might see me as a bit of a jerk, I'm at least very responsible towards women I've had feelings for. So don't worry too much, I'll take full responsibility."
Ren was unusually serious for once.
They also knew that now was not the time for the two of them to be alone.
We need to give Grayfia at least some time to process this.
And after Ren left.
Grayfia's cold face gradually flushed red, and in the end, she could only blame everything on the drink she had consumed.
She has been ruined by alcohol and women, and looks so haggard. From today onwards, she will abstain from alcohol!
Chapter 435-436 Wearing sunglasses, I don't love anyone.
After leaving the Lucifuge Family's castle, Ren didn't think much of it.
We're all adults; we know what we need to know.
Although Grayfia did have a history of acting crazy when drunk, there's also a saying that alcohol emboldens even the most timid.
Some things that he wouldn't dare say in normal times, he would simply say while drunk, and then pretend to be confused afterwards, saying that he couldn't remember anything, but in reality, he knew everything better than anyone else.
After all this time, Ren simply couldn't believe that Grayfia could get drunk from just one drink.
Even if she did, given Grayfia's personality, she would definitely know that drinking leads to trouble.
Since she went to drink it on her own initiative, it means that everything she did before was within her expectations.
Ren stopped worrying about it; he figured he could just visit her more often when he had time.
Servants were already waiting outside the castle.
Upon seeing Ren, they approached him and said they would take him back to where they were.
However, Ren didn't do that. Instead, he opened the Teleport Anchor for the Gremory Family castle, and after clicking teleport, he instantly disappeared from the demon servants' sight.
When Ren returned, most of the girls were also there.
However, Yasaka and Suzaku Himejima were not among them; instead, they were summoned to a meeting at the main city of Lilith, just like the other reinforcements.
Yasaka's daughter, Nine-Tails, stayed behind and played with Asia, Ravel, and the others.
Since they're around the same age, they'll easily get along and probably become best friends who can talk about anything before long.
Rias, Lavinia, Minagawa Natsume, seeing Ren return, curiously asked what the impartial governor had summoned them for.
Ren satisfied the girls' curiosity by telling them about Hades and his own knighthood.
As for the bathroom story, it was deleted by Ren because it contained content unsuitable for children.
Wow! They've actually bestowed a noble title? What is it?!
Minagawa Natsume pressed for an answer out of curiosity.
"The Duke, I suppose, and he also comes with a castle and a territory."
After thinking for a moment, Ren said.
"Wow! Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron, these are the highest ranks of nobility, right? Even those old-school pure-blooded demons might not have such ranks!"
"This is what the girl from the human world, who used to attend an ordinary high school in Kyoto, said in shock."
Shock!
My Duke friend!
If this kind of subject matter were published on a light novel website, I feel like I'd be raking in royalties!
