"Oh, it seems my illusion must have worn off, " Roxanne muttered nonchalantly as if she didn't traumatize many girls and Issei for life.
Well, honestly speaking, she isn't that worried about it, as she would do something about this when Ravel comes out of the hot spring. Well, she would wipe away the memories of everyone present and make it so that today never happened.
This way, even if someone noticed something, they would not take it seriously. And with the trauma she gave the girls, these girls' subconsciouses would actively stop pursuing today's memories. Especially Issei, that poor guy, would definitely use his protagonist's halo to make today's incident something that never happened.
'As expected, everything went as planned, ' Roxanne thought as she laughed like a villain in her mind.
….
Months went by in a flash. After that incident, none of the protagonists remembered anything, and everything went normal. There were no terrorist groups that came knocking to pick up trouble; there was no psycho who would come to Kouh to pick on some girls.
Honestly speaking, apart from the random stray devils that would pop up every now and then, Kouh town became very peaceful. The peace was so much that it was a bit terrifying.
It's like it is calm before the storm.
"Issei, remember you have to protect Asia during the field trip. If anything happened to my dear daughter, you can say goodbye …" Miki said as she looked at her son with a smile that looked so especially terrifying that even Draig didn't dare to raise his head.
"Gulp… yes, Mother, I hear you loud and clear. " Issei saluted like a soldier as he answered immediately. Although he didn't need his mother to say these words, as he would naturally protect Asia. But with the blood suppression, he had to answer with utmost seriousness.
He didn't know why, but within less than a year's worth of time, Asia managed to become the biological daughter while he became the adopted one.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that his parents always wanted a daughter. Well, anyway, in his own home, Issei had become a complete stranger.
Thankfully, he had Asia and others to cheer him up. Especially when everyone goes to sleep in that king-size bed naked. Every time Issei sank into that bliss, he would always feel very reluctant to get up the next day.
"Issei, you must remember, you need to keep a watch on my dear Asia during your field trip. What if some old geezer comes and harasses her because of how cute she is? " Miki said as she began to lecture Issei about various things, such as always keeping the perverts away from her, buying her everything that looked cute on Asia, making sure she sleeps well every night, and giving her a phone call to report all the things they did during the day.
As she went ranting about all sorts of things, Roxanne, who had come to get a free meal, had a strange look in her eyes. She really wants to ask Aunt Miki whether it is okay for a pervert like Issei to do the guarding duty. After all, on this school trip, he and his friends are the biggest trouble that Asia would face.
But since she abided by the principle of ' Never say anything to someone who is giving you a free meal, ' she wisely kept her mouth shut and ate happily.
Even though the food at her mansion is very good, Roxanne likes Aunt Mikki's home-cooked cooking. In her personal ranking, her cooking is ranked second, just under Luciana's cooking.
As for the cooking, Azrael cooks. Well, let's just say Grandpa never created a perfect person. Even Roxanne had to take it seriously if she wanted to survive.
'But still I wonder what sorts of stunts those heroes would do now that their boss is in jail, ' Roxanne thought as she remembered the big boss who is still suffering from the new torture methods Ciel had recently created.
Yes, Indra is still in her hands. More specifically speaking, Indra is in Ciel's hands after he got hit too much and spouted some words that irritated her. Ciel was so angry that she even created her own independent body just to deal with him.
This is also why last time, Roxanne messed up last time and allowed some outsiders to have a free tour in this world. It was due to the fact that she didn't have Ciel's main consciousness with her. Or else Ciel would have warned her about that.
Thankfully, everything went okay, and she was able to fix things up. Or else Ciel, who was rarely interested in anything, would come back running, saying things like, ' Sigh, what can you do without me? ', ' Mistress is such a worrywart,' and 'I can't leave you even for a second without you destroying the world. '.
And as much as Roxanne enjoyed having Ciel's company, she would really get annoyed when Ciel said these things to her with her ' as expected' expression on her face.
As the sin of pride, Roxanne really can't stand that look. Even if that person is half of her own soul.
….
After Roxanne ate her free meal, she waved goodbye to Issei's parents and hopped into her sports car and went back home. And as usual, she raced through the streets like she was going on a life-and-death car chase.
Well, thankfully, she is a skilled driver, or the people in Kouh town would really have a hard time living. Especially those teenagers who always seem to have the greatest possibility of courting death.
After arriving home, Roxanne entered her mansion only to meet with a rather interesting sight.
Luciana, who always wore a maid uniform, is now wearing a set of casual outfits, sitting on a sofa, and drinking tea.
"Wow, Luci-chan, this is rare. I haven't seen you put on these casual clothes in a very long while. " Roxanne said as she sat next to Luciana.
"So what's the occasion for the sudden transformation? " she asked as she looked at Luciana with curiosity.
Luciana didn't hide her reason and said honestly, "Well, I went to your school after they contacted me by telephone. I just came back after meeting with the school board. "
"Oh, the school board contacted you? " Roxanne blinked her eyes in surprise. You know this school is actually run by the joint effort of the Gremory and Sitri families, so it's no wonder she is surprised.
Although Luciana is a devil, her identity in the human world is the head maid of the Morningstar household. Even though the underworld still has a bounty on Luciana's head, that bounty is not something everyone takes seriously. After all Years ago, Luciana's death was confirmed by those exorcists. And add to the fact that Luciana kept her identity a secret for the last years, no one recognized her at first glance.
So it surprised Roxanne why the school board, which was controlled by two devil houses, would like to see Luciana.
"So why did they want to meet you? Did they somehow recognize your identity? " Roxanne asked with a worry in her expression. If they really did recognize Luciana's identity, things would get a bit complicated.
After all, those devils would definitely use this to annoy Luciana into joining their stupid plans.
