"Thank you for meeting with me today, Sera-chan," Azuma smiled brightly at the Maou sitting across from him, who was clad in her typical slightly sexy magical girl outfit.
She really is unfair.
As she sat down in her seat, her thick thighs and ass filled the chair fully, and her plump breasts jiggled lightly. For a woman with such a cute face, having such a lustful body propelled her to a whole different level of attractiveness.
"Of course, Azu-chan!" Serafall cheered, smiling back just as brightly, "I'll always make time for So-tan's friends!"
"But, I didn't call you as one of your sister's friends today, Sera-chan," Azuma hummed, reaching under his desk and pulling out a piece of paper. He laid it on the table, sliding it toward Serafall, "I'm here today as the owner of the resort. I'd like to make a deal with you."
"A deal?" Serafall tilted her head curiously.
"More specifically, a deal not with Serafall Levithan, but with…" Azuma reached under his desk again, pulling out a large poster and slamming it on the table dramatically, "Magical girl Levi-tan!"
Serafall's eyes widened as she took in the poster. On the front, a shining Serafall Levithan stood on a stage in her magical girl outfit, as the poster was promoting a new show at the resort - a live Magical Girl Levi-tan show.
I'll need to bring out everything I can to convince her.
Getting Serafall to stay at the resort more often would be a huge boon - not just in terms of bringing attention and more guests to the resort, but mainly in the fact that Serafall herself gave him so many points just from being there.
"Woah," She beamed down at the poster, "You want me to do a show here, Azu-chan?"
"Not just a show," Azuma shook his head wisely, "I want a whole magical girl themed part of the resort, Levi-tan!"
"Woah," Serafall breathed out again, stars in her eyes at Azuma's words.
"Magical girls are so cool, right?" Azuma asked, not even giving Serafall a chance to answer as he knew her response, "Your show is doing a great job spreading the awesomeness of magical girls, Levi-tan, but I want to share that awesomeness with the resort guests!"
He stood up, holding his hands out widely in a dramatic fashion, "Can you see the vision, Levi-tan?! A whole floor of this resort dedicated just to magical girls!"
"Ahh! I can see it, Azu-chan!" Serafall cheered, starting to get excited at the idea as she stared into the air in awe.
He reached under his desk again, pulling out another, much larger, poster that showcased the layout of the resort - or, of what the new layout of the resort would be. On it, one of the upper floors was highlighted in a bright pink color and had a sticker of Serafall's face on it.
"Levi-tan and all her castmates will line every wallpaper!" Azuma continued dramatically, slamming the poster on the table, "Every room will be magical girl-themed, and you'll have your own personal suite!"
He moved his finger down the poster, dragging it around as he spoke, "A personal studio to film the show, and an area for fans to get an autograph from Levi-tan herself! We'll expand your show beyond just devil society, Levi-tan! We'll make you a global icon!"
"L-Levi-tan… a global icon!" Serafall had stars in her eyes, her brain being overwhelmed by the pitch.
"My resort hosts humans, devils, fallen angels, angels, youkai - any race you could think of!" Azuma continued with a grin, "All of them will learn about the greatness of magical girls, Levi-tan! The whole world will know about Levi-tan!"
Azuma wasn't lying either - the expansion of the resort had gone quite well, and it was only becoming more popular by the day. The appeal had worn off a bit for the human population of Kuoh, but it's global reach had expanded greatly as more dungeon-specific foods were introduced. Not just humans, but damn near every type of supernatural Azuma could think of had at least visited the resort.
"T-The whole world, knowing, Levi-tan!" Serafall repeated, her brain short-circuiting.
"I even brought a preview for you, Levi-tan," Azuma grinned widely, then called out to the door behind the Maou, "Ivy! Come in!"
The door opened, and a beet-red Ivy entered. The dryad was dressed in the same pink magical girl outfit that Serafall had on, and was also holding a wand. As she entered, she embarrassedly raised her hand, making a peace sign in front of her face.
"M-Magical girl Ivy-tan!" She shouted dramatically, looking uncertain as Serafall and Azuma stared at her.
…
"SHE'S SO CUTE!" Serafall leaped up, lunging into Ivy and hugging her so tightly she knocked the wind out of the woman, "Magical girl Ivy-tan! Oooooh! You can be my co-star for the resort show, Ivy-tan!"
Ivy robotically turned her head to look at Azuma, silently asking for help as the air was slowly squeezed out of her. Usually, Azuma would've left the woman out to dry, but he actually had another surprise planned.
"She won't be your co-star, Levi-tan," Azuma declined but then continued as Serafall looked at him disappointedly, "Because, I picked out a different one for you! Sona-chan, come on in!"
Serafall's eyes went as big as saucers at his words, and she slowly turned to look at the door as she freed Ivy from her vice grip.
The door opened, and nervous Sona stepped through, looking both embarrassed and confused. She was dressed in a similar magical girl outfit as Serafall, but hers was blue as opposed to Serafall's pink.
"W-Why did you want me to do this, Azum-" She cut herself off as her breath caught in her throat, her eyes going wide as she spotted Serafall, "O-Onee-chan is here? Why is-"
Reputation Update!
Your Affection with [Serafall Levithan] has advanced one stage!
[Slightly Liked] -> [Strongly Liked]
"SOOOOOO-TANNNN!" Serafall leaped at Sona, literally tackling her sister to the ground, "So-tan wants to join me as a magical girl?! Ah, Onee-chan is so happy! I'm so proud, So-tan!"
"M-Magical girl? I'm just wearing this-"
"She will be," Azuma grinned, a glint in his eyes as he turned to the confused Sona, "You remember that request you asked me to do, Sona-chan?"
Said 'request' was Sona asking Azuma, who she believed was a talented magician, to help train one of her peerage members who wanted to learn magic.
I don't know shit about magic, but I'll just have Ravel tell me some stuff to say during the lessons.
Sona stared at him with wide eyes, "N-No! No! I take it back! You don't have to teach her!"
"Too late!" Azuma grinned, rubbing his hands slightly maniacally at the horrified girl, "I already told her I'd train them! She'd be so disappointed if I said you got in the way of their training, right? So, as payment for me teaching them, Sona-chan…"
"So-tan will be my co-star!" Serafall cheered, rubbing her cheek against Sona's happily as Sona stared at him with wide, horrified eyes, "We're going to magical girls together, So-tan!"
"C-Co…co-star? Magical… girl?" Sona muttered, her eyes hallowed as she slumped backward, literally falling unconscious from shock.
"S-So-tan?! Are you alright?!" Serafall shook her sister concernedly, not realizing why Sona had fainted.
"She must've fainted because she was so excited, Levi-tan," Azuma hummed, gesturing at Ivy to take Sona. Ivy leaned down, slowly dragging Sona out from under Serafall and back through the door, "Ivy-chan will watch over her until she wakes up."
"T-That's true, I'm also super excited!" Serafall shot up to her feet abruptly, "I'm in, Azu-chan! Where do I sign, where do I sign?!"
Perfect!
Azuma had been worried about how this meeting would go - after all, Serafall was still a Maou, and likely a very busy one at that. Despite her cheerful demeanor, it was a big ask for the woman to come to the resort so often. Unlike Ajuka, who was well known for being a hermit who blew off a large portion of his Maou duties to do 'research,' Serafall actually did her job as the Maou in charge of foreign affairs.
"Right here," Azuma pointed to the signature line, "But, before you do you should read it. There's a lot of stipulations about how the profit generated is split, conditions for work hours, a requirement to spend a certain number of days per month at the resort-"
"Azu-chan," Serafall cut him off, raising a finger at him, "I don't care about any of that! I just have one condition…"
Shadows covered her eyes, and Azuma winced as a chill went down his spine. The room around him dropped to an ice-cold temperature, a sheet of frost literally forming on the posters and contract.
"No stealing my So-tan!" Serafall shouted dramatically, pointing her wand threateningly at Azuma, "So-tan is mine, Azu-chan!"
Azuma stared at her blankly.
Seriously? I spent hours writing out this whole complicated contract - I even contacted Devil Lawyers - and this is all she wants?
"...Sure?" He said unsurely, not even sure what 'stealing So-tan' entailed.
"Yay!" Serafall brightened immediately, the ice retreating from the room as she leaned over and signed the contract without another question, "Let's bring Levi-tan to the world, Azu-chan!"
She launched across the table, smushing Azuma's face into her sizeable breasts as she continued to cheer.
This was… surprisingly easy.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ravel appeared from a magic circle in the middle of the dungeon with a huff, quickly speed-walking into the long tunnel as she headed to Azuma's bedroom.
Master's really not going to be happy about this!
Her short legs moved in a swift walk down the tunnel, the woman silently lamenting on the bad news she'd have to break to Azuma.
This is serious. Really serious.
As far as bad news went, this was one of the worst things she could be relaying to Azuma - and it needed to be conveyed with immense urgency. It couldn't wait a minute longer.
Ravel walked up to the door, placing her hand on the doorknob in her haste as she didn't even knock, but she stopped abruptly when she heard a noise. More specifically - a moan.
"Ooooh, Ravel!"
She blinked, freezing.
Was that… Master?
"Ooooh, Ravel! You're so good!"
She froze, staring at the door blankly as her mind raced. It was definitely Azuma's voice - but why was he calling her name out like that? Did he already know the news? Or was he trying to call her into the room?
"That feels so good, Ravel!"
Slowly, a heat rushed over Ravel's face as she blushed a deep red. He was still moaning loudly, and Ravel's brain could only assume one thing.
He's…
Judging from the words and moans, Ravel could only reach one conclusion.
He's… thinking about me while masturbating!
Ravel promptly spun around, near-sprinting down the long hall and unintentionally bumping into a goblin worker. The normally kind girl shoved him to the side in her haste, literally flinging him into the wall as she moved down the long hall as quickly as she could.
"Mittelt! Mittelt!" She yelled, barreling through another goblin as she reached Mittelt's personal room. She twisted the doorknob, but the door was locked.
She'll understand!
Ravel shoved forward, using her supernatural strength to rip the door off its hinges as she entered the room.
"Mittelt! Where's the-" She paused, cutting herself off as she stared blankly at the sight that greeted her.
"C-Can't a girl get some privacy?" Mittelt blushed, looking like a mixture of angry and embarrassed as Ravel broke into her room.
The petite fallen angel was lying on her bed, completely naked and holding a pink dildo in her hand. Ravel slowly looked to the side, taking in the sight of the TV in Mittelt's room. On the screen, a collection of shirtless, mid-training, and sweaty pictures of Azuma were scrolling through like a slide show.
"...Don't look at me like that!" Mittelt huffed, her face turning beet red as Ravel slowly turned her blank gaze back to her, "You shouldn't just break into my room! Do locked doors mean nothing anymore?!"
"I have a good reason!" Ravel countered, quickly deciding to ignore Mittelts compromising position as she turned back to the deathly important matter at hand, "Where's the cat maid outfit?!"
"What? You want it again?" Mittelt blinked, sitting up in the bed, still naked but uncaring, "I thought it didn't work last time?"
"J-Just give me the outfit!" Ravel said quickly, stepping deeper into the room as she looked around for it.
"Here, here," Mittelt rolled over, casually reaching under her bed, pulling out the maid suit, and then tossing the outfit at her, "Just don't get it dirty, kay? I'm going to take a crack at Master with it next!"
Ravel quickly reached down, ignoring her words and pulling off her pink dress as she started to change.
"...Why is putting on the maid outfit so important that you have to change in my room?" Mittelt asked dryly.
"No time to explain!" Ravel said simply, finishing putting on the last piece of the outfit, "Thanks, MIttelt! See you later!"
I need to go quick! If he finishes masturbating before I get there, then I'll lose my best chance!
"W-What about my door?!" The nude Mittelt shouted after her as the door laid flat on the floor, but Ravel ignored her. She had more important matters to attend to.
She quickly made her way back to Azuma's bedroom, pausing outside for a second as she listened in.
"Oooh, Ravel! Ravel!"
He's still going!
Ravel grabbed the doorknob, pushing open the door as it wasn't even locked.
"D-Don't just use your thoughts when your naughty maid is right here, Master nya~!" She shouted, bursting into the room and striking a sexy pose as she bent over.
…
"Oh, hey Ravel. What's with the maid dres-, er, maid bikini?" Ravel blinked at Azuma's very casual response, which was far different from the 'Azuma being unable to hold himself back as he leaped on her like a horny beast' reaction that was in her brain.
She slowly glanced up, taking in the sight of her Master not lying on his bed masturbating - but instead sitting on the edge of his bed, fully clothed. He casually flicked his thumb, launching a small piece of meat in the air as his Phoenix Familiar swooped down and launched a wave of fire at it.
Azuma raised the piece now cooked meat to his mouth, taking a bite and looking thoughtful for a moment. Then, he moaned slightly at the taste.
"Oooh, that was the best one yet, Ravel!" He reached up, patting the flaming bird on its head while it preened under his touch.
"She's been wearing it lately," Aphrodite supplied helpfully, nodding at Ravel's clothes, "She even came into your bedroom like that the other nigh-"
"S-Shush!" Ravel dived forward, placing her hand over Aphrodite's mouth as she floated next to Azuma, "I-I, um, I…"
She just stared at Azuma, at a loss for words. Her face was beet red as his eyes roamed up and down her body.
"Lookin' good," Azuma said casually, giving her a thumbs up, "If you wanna wear that around the dungeon instead of the secretary suit, I wouldn't mind."
"N-No, I, um, I was hoping, I mean, I heard you and thought you were, um…" Ravel trailed off, unable to explain her thoughts as she didn't want to admit that she thought she overheard Azuma masturbating to her, "Y-Yes, Master. I'd like to wear this from now on…"
And so, Ravel unintentionally found herself with a new regular outfit.
"Your tits look pretty good it in," Azuma nodded approvingly, casually flicking up another piece of meat for the Phoenix to burn. He repeated the process with the phoenix cooking it for him and then placed it in his mouth.
"Good job, Ravel," He nodded again at the phoenix.
"Thanks- w-wait, why are you calling the phoenix my name?!" Ravel started to answer instinctually, then stopped as she realized he was talking to the familiar.
"That's her name," Azuma said casually, nodding at the bird, "Ravel 2."
"...R-Ravel two?" Ravel asked, looking at him strangely.
"Yup," Azuma answered, "Get it? Because she's a phoenix, and you're a phenex? Pretty clever, right?"
"It's a lot better than his other name," Aphrodite chimed in, "He could've been Sir Dragonslayer Hearteater KillerofGods Crimsonborn Birdy."
"No, no," Azuma corrected, shaking his head at Aphrodite, "Sir Dragonslayer Hearteater KillerofGods Crimsonborn Birdy Jr.! Her father was Sir Dragonslayer Hearteater KillerofGods Crimsonborn Birdy, and he was a great man- er, a great bird! Don't disrespect my familiar!"
At his words, Ravel 2 squawked indignantly at Aphrodite for her disrespect.
"Sir? But, isn't it a girl?" Ravel asked confusedly.
"It's the 21st century, Ravel," Azuma shook his head in mock disappointment, "If you get to walk around in a secretary suit, then Ravel 2 can be granted the title of 'Sir'!"
Ravel 2 squawked again, nodding sagely at Azuma's words.
"...I don't know if I like a bird being named after me," Ravel said bluntly, glaring at the phoenix.
"You're also a bird, Ravel!" Aphrodite countered, smiling brightly at Ravel, "A very pretty bird!"
"T-Thanks?" Ravel answered confusedly, but then shook her head as she went back to glaring at Ravel 2, "A-Are… are you replacing me, Master?!"
"Nope," Azuma comforted her quickly, "It's a compliment if anything, y'know? This bird is my most prized subordinate now!"
"After you, of course," Azuma said quickly as Ravel stared up at him with puppy-dog eyes, patting her head lightly and causing the girl to calm down.
"And me, right?" Aphrodite looked at Azuma with a smug grin as she butted into the conversation.
…
Azuma stared back at her, their eyes locking.
…
He slowly glanced away, "...Sure…"
"T-That didn't sound very confident to me!"
"...I can't believe I am ranked lower than an animal," Artoria chimed in with a sigh, the blonde woman sitting in her usual chair in the corner of Azuma's room.
"Also, the bird isn't even a girl!" Aphrodite huffed, upset at being placed in lower priority than a bird, "So the name doesn't make sense!"
Azuma blinked, turning to look blankly at Ravel 2.
"...You're not?"
Ravel 2 shook his head in response.
"...Why didn't you tell me that?" Azuma said accusingly, "You just let me name you Ravel 2! I look like an idiot now!"
Ravel 2 squawked apologetically.
"He doesn't speak humanese! He can't tell you!" Aphrodite defended the phoenix, actually making a good point.
Well, I'll need to think of a new name for him.
Azuma thought dryly.
Ravel abruptly stiffened as she remembered the 'deathly important' news she needed to tell Azuma, which she had been urgently bringing to him prior to hearing him 'masturbate' and getting distracted.
"M-Master! I have some bad news!" Ravel said abruptly, bringing his attention to her.
"Is it about all of Aph's intelligence being funneled into her tits? Because I already knew that," Azuma waved at her dismissively, and Aphrodite didn't even look upset at his words.
"He's not wrong," She shrugged.
"N-No! My father found out about you!" Ravel dropped the news dramatically, "He knows we're dating, and he's very upset!"
"Oh, I already knew that too," Azuma said casually, "He tried to burn down the resort earlier today."
Earlier that day, a 'random fire' had broken out in the surrounding area - which was tied to a devil floating in the air and launching fireballs at the resort. Luckily, a 'LUK event' had caused the initial fireball to land directly in Ajuka Beezlebub's room. Sufficient to say, Lord Phenex had only gotten two fireballs off before he retreated back to the underworld with his tail between his legs.
"O-Oh," Ravel nodded, "T-Then what are we going to do?"
"You can calm him down, right?" Azuma asked, glancing over his shoulder at Ravel as he didn't seem concerned in the slightest, "Just talk to him a bit."
Ravel's capable. She can deal with this.
Azuma thought, not all that worried. Considering the girl had managed to keep her connection to the dungeon under wraps for this long, and she was by far the most intelligent unit he had, Azuma figured she could figure it out. She was also her parents beloved only daughter - compared to the dickhead that was Riser, she was practically an angel. If she tried to reason with them, they'd calm down, and then Azuma could go meet them with their opinion of him being neutral.
"Um…" Ravel blushed, not meeting his eyes, "I… don't think I can do that."
"Why not?" Azuma asked bluntly, becoming a bit more concerned at the girl's demeanor.
"I… already talked to him about it," Ravel confessed, still not meeting his eyes, "And, um… on a good note, I'll be finally living in the dungeon permanently, Master! I'll go buy a bigger bed!"
She promptly turned around, starting to leave to room quickly before Azuma placed a hand on her shoulder and stopped her.
"What'd you say to him?" Azuma asked dryly, and Ravel's shoulders slumped.
"...I said he didn't understand me, was a terrible father, that I didn't need the clan's support anymore, and that he wasn't my real dad," Ravel answered bluntly, "Then, I teleported away."
Aphrodite blinked, "He's not your real dad?"
That's what you focus on out of all that?!
"No, he is," Ravel corrected, "But I was upset, so I might've also lied and said my mother cheated on him as I was leaving…"
"So… your dad was mad about you dating me, so you ran away from home after ruining his marriage with your mother?" Azuma deadpanned.
"...Pretty much! But, is it really running away from home if I can move out whenever I want? I was just staying there because that's what everyone does! Our estate is like the size of a country!" Azuma frowned, ignoring her justification.
Well, there goes the relationship approach. He's gonna try to kill me. I'm gonna have to kick Lord Phenex's ass.
"I-I couldn't just stay quiet though, Master!" Ravel puffed out her cheeks cutely at him, "He was saying so many lies about you! He said all human mages were lazy and greedy! He even compared you to the director of the magician council, who just sits on his ass and takes credit for all his underlings work!"
Azuma stared at her blankly.
…That's actually a pretty good description of me.
"Alright, you know your dad better than I do," Azuma hummed, starting to take the situation seriously, "What would make him like me again?"
Preferably, I don't start a war with the devils by killing a noble clan head.
Azuma had been grinding stats much more efficiently late, as the boosts of both his high LUK and having Saber around meant that he grew stronger much faster than before.
I don't know how strong Lord Phenex is, but…
Considering Azuma was well within Ultimate-class strength now, and he had a Cadre-level familiar in the form of a literal phoenix, he liked his odds against the man. That wasn't even mentioning his Heroic Spirit in the form of Saber. But, the best solution would be to get on their good side - he still wanted the financial support that came from the Phenex Family.
"Um… prove to him that you're not a deadbeat!" Ravel answered eloquently, nodding as her face was squished in thought, "After my brother became a womanizing bum who didn't live up to my other brothers, he's been in a bad mood! If you show him how awesome you are, Master, then he'll totally be fine with me being in the dungeon!"
That's a problem… I am a deadbeat bum…
But, while Azuma lazed around and profited off the work of his units most of the time, he was still excellent at one thing - manipulation.
I'll trick him into thinking I'm not a bum!
Azuma grinned, glancing over at Ravel and then back to Ravel 2.
I'll make this old bastard forget all about Riser.
The Phenex Family was about to receive a new, better, youngest son.
