Kuoh Town, Abel's home.
At this moment, Grayfia was diligently managing everything in the house.
Just then, a white magic circle appeared. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Grayfia's face.
Before long, Abel and his group walked out from within.
"Grayfia, I'm home."
"Mm, welcome home."
"Want a hug?"
"Of course."
Grayfia stepped forward and embraced Abel.
After a while, the two separated.
At this point, Abel remembered something and said, "Grayfia, later, please make a trip to the Underworld and inform my brother that the Martial Arts King will be paying a visit, and also this Fourth Primogenitor."
Listening to Abel's words, Grayfia was slightly stunned.
The Martial Arts King, huh.
Indeed, it needed to be reported.
Grayfia nodded and said, "Understood. What about the Fourth Primogenitor?"
Hearing someone call her, Avrora raised her hand and said, "I am here."
As her words fell, Rias and her group were momentarily stunned. They looked at Avrora, who was still enjoying her ice cream, in silence, then looked at Abel, their faces full of questions.
'Abel just abducted a Fourth Primogenitor!?'
Rias and the others asked uncertainly, "She is the Fourth Primogenitor!?"
"Yeah, didn't I say?"
"You didn't."
Listening to Rias's words, Abel suddenly realized. Oh right, he had forgotten to introduce Natsuki and the others.
"Alright, I forgot to introduce them."
Abel introduced them, "Natsuki, the Witch of the Void, is now my familiar. Yukina is a guard arranged by the Lion King Organization. Avrora is the recently awakened Fourth Primogenitor."
Grayfia said to Abel, "Alright, I'll go now."
After speaking, she used magic to travel to the Underworld.

Inside the History Compilation Committee.
Amakasu Touma was diligently performing his duties, only needing to wait until work ended to go home and play.
Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Especially when preparing to leave work, a sudden flood of tasks would appear.
At this moment, the office door opened, and a short-haired woman wearing glasses and a professional women's suit walked in.
She was Sayanomiya Kaoru, the Head of the History Compilation Committee's Tokyo Branch, and the next Supreme Commander of the History Compilation Committee.
She held a document in her hand and walked directly towards Amakasu Touma, who was fantasizing about the good life after work.
Arriving at his desk, she tapped on his table and said, "Touma, I have something for you here."
At this moment, Amakasu Touma looked helpless, fearing what would come.
He just wanted to get off work!
However, he still smiled and said, "Leader, what is it?"
Alas, this is the life of the workplace.
"Just see for yourself."
With that, Kaoru handed him two documents.
Although Amakasu Touma was a bit confused, he reached out to take them and began to read. When he saw the first line, he took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on. After confirming everything was in order, he was calm for a few seconds, then...
"What!? Head, you want me to receive the Martial Arts King and the King of Swords!" He exclaimed in disbelief.
It stated that Luo Hao, the Martial Arts King, and Salvatore Doni, the King of Swords from Italy, were coming to visit Abel. It also specified that Abel was already aware of their visit.
The King of Swords was fine, but what about the Martial Arts King?
Her notorious reputation was very widespread and she was on the same level as Voban.
"Alright, I'm just asking you to receive them, not to take your life."
Amakasu Touma looked at her in disbelief.
What do you mean it won't take my life!?
Amakasu Touma had unspeakable difficulties, but facing his direct superior, he couldn't refuse. He could only nod with a bitter face and say, "Leader, I'll do my best."
Looking at the grim-faced Amakasu Touma, Kaoru patted his arm. "Don't worry, the Committee has bought all the insurances, so go ahead with confidence. What's more, Touma, I believe in your abilities."
"Leader, there's no need for that, I have very little confidence in my own abilities."
"Don't belittle yourself, Touma. You need to hurry, they will arrive in Japan tonight."
"Huh? Is the timing that tight?" Amakasu Touma was stunned.
Arriving tonight!?
Glancing at the time and then at the documents in his hand, Amakasu Touma felt his world darken.
He began to frantically think about the reception process and coping strategies in his mind, but as soon as he thought of the infamous Martial Arts King Luo Hao, his scalp tingled.
However, even in despair, there was a glimmer of hope. The two Kings were coming to se Abel. As long as he delivered them during this period, everything would be fine.
He quickly organized his thoughts and began to prepare for the reception. But before that, he needed to contact Mariya Yuri. She was the King's aid after all.
Without further ado, he left the office and moved to the shrine.
...
Meanwhile, in the Underworld, Beelzebub's castle.
Grayfia had already arrived at Ajuka's office.
Ajuka greeted her with a smile, "Good evening, Grayfia."
"Good evening, Beelzebub-sama."
"What's wrong? Do you have time to return to the Underworld tonight?"
In response to Ajuka's question, Grayfia said, "Abel-sama sent a message, asking me to report."
"It's him? Tell me, what big deal could it be?" Ajuka became interested.
Grayfia said seriously, "Luo Hao, the Martial Arts King, has come to visit him, and she probably won't leave until that Heretic God monkey is dealt with."
"What? Luo Hao? That fierce woman?" Ajuka raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Why does she suddenly want to visit Abel? But that monkey... You mean the Sun Wukong being kept in Japan, right? I understand. Luo Hao intends to have Abel assist in handling it, and then clean up the mess."
Ajuka's intuition was very accurate. Luo Hao indeed had this idea. A Heretic God from her own territory actually ran to Japan, and those people in Japan even helped keep it captive. In her eyes, this was an act of great disrespect.
Ajuka stroked his chin, thinking for a while, then asked, "What did Abel say? How does he plan to deal with Luo Hao?"
Grayfia shook her head. "Abel-sama didn't say, he just arranged for me to inform you."
"I see."
Ajuka leaned back in his chair, a smile appearing on his lips. "He wants to throw this hot potato, Luo Hao, to me. If that's the case, then let's invite the Martial Arts King to visit the Underworld."
"It just so happens that there are still a few Rating Games, so we can invite her to watch, and then sign a peace agreement, since she's already here."
Grayfia nodded. "Beelzebub-sama's arrangement is very appropriate, but I wonder if Luo Hao will agree."
Ajuka chuckled. "She came to Japan to deal with that monkey, and she is asking for a favor, so the invitation won't be difficult."
Besides, in terms of status, they are basically on the same level. Generally, whoever is stronger has the right to speak. And can she beat Abel?
While Ajuka and Grayfia were chatting.
Amakasu Touma had arrived at the shrine and met Mariya Yuri.
"Amakasu-san, is something the matter?"
"Hahaha, there truly is something. Later, I'll trouble you to come with me to receive the Martial Arts King and the King of Swords."
Mariya Yuri was surprised. "Two Kings? But why me?"
"Of course, because you are a subject of the Devil King, and these two Kings are here to discuss matters with Abel-sama. The King is busy, so you, as a subject, need to help guide them."
Listening to Amakasu Touma's answer, Mariya Yuri understood.
But... was she really a subject of the King?
Erica and Liliana had both been turned into devils by the King, while she was still just an ordinary Hime-Miko.
Mariya Yuri felt a bit lost, but she quickly composed herself and said, "If that's the case, let's go."
"Mm, thank you very much."
