Start by Eating Jake Jake no Mi

Yes, Masa had to admit that he didn't want to meet Sirzech, but what could he do? 

If he wanted to change everything, he had to meet Sirzech since he had to stop the duel between Issei and Riser. 

Yet, even if he didn't want to meet Sirzech, it was easy for him to disguise himself, and this was why Rias, Sona, Sairaorg, or even Issei weren't suitable to be in the high society since they couldn't lie, be honest, and were naive. 

Frankly, Sirzech had a kind and gentle personality, and Masa didn't hate Sirzech's hope, but then again, he felt that Sirzech would bring him more trouble than benefits, so he didn't have an interest in being close to Sirzech. 

"I thought you wouldn't come to this type of party, Masa-kun." 

'First name directly?'

"Our house has quite a close relationship with the House of Phenex, after all." 

"I see, but isn't your house also quite close to us, the House of Gremory, too? Your aunt is my mother's sister-in-law, after all, but you haven't been coming to our house." 

"I am afraid that you might think of me as an opportunist and give you a bad impression if I come to your house, and Rias Gremory is my friend's fiance, so I don't want any misunderstanding between me and my friend." 

"Riser is lucky to have a friend like you." 

The first aside, the second one was probably the reason why Masa didn't come to the House of Gremory, as he was afraid to give Riser a wrong impression. 

Though inwardly, Masa just didn't want to get involved in the House of Gremory. 

"Still, there is no need for you to worry about that problem, and you should visit my place if you are free." 

"I will do that." 

While Masa maintained his calm expression, he sighed helplessly inwardly since he didn't have much of an interest in the House of Gremory. It wasn't a poor place, but it wasn't a good place either, especially when there were even bandits there, which made him speechless. 

"By the way, Masa-kun, are you interested in the human world?" 

"I'm starting a business there." 

"Oh? Then, why don't you stay in the human world? I am sure that you will be happy." 

"That isn't something that I should decide on such a short moment since I have a responsibility to manage my domain." 

While Masa didn't mind following a bit of Sirzech's whim, it didn't mean he would follow all of this guy's whim. 

Yes, Sirzech might be powerful, but this guy wasn't so powerful that he could dominate everything. 

Don't get ahead of yourselves; you are just a symbol! 

Nevertheless, Masa didn't show any disrespect on his face, and his expression was as impeccable as ever. 

Still, his answer surprised Sirzech as he didn't expect Masa to refuse him, but he still maintained his smile. "You are right. Living in a human world isn't something that can be decided in a short moment." 

The two talked for a while before Masa left to greet the other lords of various houses. 

Still, Sirzech continued to stare at Masa's back and asked his wife, "What do you think, Grayfia?" 

"I don't think that he respects you as Lucifer, Sirzerch-sama." Grayfia couldn't help but show her displeasure since Masa shouldn't agree to all of Sirzech's requests. 

Sirzech only smiled and said, "Let's talk about him later since our protagonist is about to come, right?" 

"...do you really believe in him?" 

"No, I believe in the Boosted Gear, and I don't want to marry my little sister to a scumbag." 

"...I think the last one is objective, right?" 

If Sirzech wasn't such a sister complex, then everything would be simple, but Grayfia knew that her husband loved her little sister so much to the point of disgust. 

Still, there was no doubt that they hoped for Masa, such a young, powerful, and potentially young man, to stand as their ally. 

Yet, Masa didn't care about Sirzech and Grayfia since his focus had never been on them. 

"You haven't come to the human world for a while." 

"Sorry, I have been busy, but my servants usually come there, right?" 

"Yeah, it is just a short moment, but I never expected that your venture has grown so much." 

After greeting all the lords, Sona finally got a chance to talk with Masa, and naturally, she spoke of his business, though he asked about how her days were and whether she met danger. 

"No, everything has been peaceful." 

Sona had many things to say, which softened her expression, and many words that she kept subconsciously came out from her lips as she wished him to listen to her. Naturally, they attracted the attention of many since no one expected the cold Sona to be close to Masa. 

Yet many men hoped for them to make a relationship as soon as possible so that way, their women would stop looking at Masa since he was owned. 

Sona also hoped for him to be clear since she had to say it was so hard for her to start everything. 

Still, when they talked, it was impossible for Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko not to be curious, especially since they had never seen Sona show such a gentle expression, but no one dared to ask this since while Rias treated all of them like a family, they knew well that they were just a low-class devil. 

Facing Riser, who was a scumbag previously, even if he touched their master, they said nothing and remained silent, unlike Issei, who was stupid and lacked common sense.

So, even if they were curious, they didn't say anything, and Sona didn't have any intentions of introducing Masa. 

Still, as Masa, Sona, Asia, and Tsubaki talked to each other, the event that everyone had been waiting for was about to start. 

As the blazing flames suddenly grew, Riser appeared grandly in front of everyone. 

"Famed nobles of the devil world! Your attendance tonight will honor the Phenex family. We invite you all to share a historical moment in which I, Riser Phenex, and the heiress of the apparent House of Gremory, Rias Gremory, formally announce our intent to marry each other." 

Riser was proud, showing his happiness to everyone when he was about to marry. "Without further ado, let me introduce you...

"My empress, Rias Gremory!" 

Then, a magic circle with a symbol of the House of Gremory emerged, and a figure of a beautiful young woman appeared. 

Rias Gremory. 

The main heroine of the story of this world. 

'Well, she is beautiful.' 

However, there were many beautiful women in this world, so he was relatively calm. 

Yet, there was no doubt that Rias was the most beautiful woman in this hall, especially in her luxurious dress.

Still—

"...why are you looking at me like that, Sona-nee?" 

"Nothing." Sona nodded in satisfaction when she saw Masa's flat expression, showing his lack of interest in Rias, which showed that he wasn't into the big breasts faction. 

Still, not only Sona's, Masa also noticed Ravel's gaze on him, which made him helpless, and he thought to go after her, but—

The door of the hall was suddenly opened, and a loud voice was heard. 

"BUCHOOOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" 

Masa turned his gaze and saw the protagonist of this world, Issei Hyoudo, for the first time. 

At the same time, this was also the beginning of everything.
