"...Um?"
When he was halfway there, two pretty figures in the crowd suddenly caught Ryan's attention.
A girl wearing a beautiful dress, with short black hair that reaches her shoulders and glasses, exuding an intellectual temperament.
And, a red-haired girl was blinking and staring at him curiously.
They are two of the four new generation of devils.
Sona Sitri.
And, the heroine of the original novel that Ryan has been waiting for for a long time, "Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess" Rias Gremory.
"Sona, it's been a while since that day, right?"
Ryan stopped, walked forward and greeted the girl he had not seen for a long time.
"Absolute—"
"...Um?"
Sona was startled, and quickly changed her words and bowed to greet: "It's been a long time since we last met, Ryan-sama."
"How have you been lately?"
Ryan asked with a chuckle.
"Thank you for your concern. I have been doing well recently."
Sona replied.
"I heard you recently achieved a five-game winning streak in the 'Ranked Game'? Not bad."
Ryan spoke in a chatty tone.
Naturally, these things were heard from Serafall, that super sister-con who would always talk about her sister's deeds, and Ryan's ears were almost callused from hearing her so much.
"Thank you so much."
Suppressing the joy in her heart at being praised by Ryan, Sona still spoke with great respect.
In response, Ryan just smiled.
Then his gaze turned to the girl next to Sona.
"You are Rias Gremory, the sister that Sirzechs always mentions, right?"
"Yes."
Unlike Sona who had a serious expression, Rias had a gentle smile on her face, pinched the hem of her dress, and bowed to Ryan gracefully.
"Rias Gremory, meeting the Absolute Evil-sama."
"Just like Sona, just call me Ryan."
Ryan smiled casually.
"Then... I will respectfully obey your command, Ryan-sama."
Rias nodded.
Unlike the reserved Sona, the red-haired girl was much more natural and easy-going.
"…"
After bowing, Rias signaled her friend with her eyes.
However, when Sona met her eyes, she became a little stiff and looked away nervously.
....Oh, really.
Rias sighed inwardly, thinking that she would be the only one left to be a role model.
Then, the red-haired girl's gaze fell on the noble black-haired young man in front of her, a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face, and she spoke.
"Ryan-sama, would you be so kind as to dance with me?"
"!?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Sona, but the entire venue fell into silence because of the girl's bold statement.
The venue suddenly became quiet.
"ah..."
Sona looked at her red-haired friend who had asked the Devil King to dance, her mouth slightly open, a look of astonishment on her face.
"…"
Even Sirzechs in the crowd was stunned. He didn't expect that his sister would be so bold.
"Hehe~ Sirzechs, your sister is really 'bold'~"
Serafall half covered her mouth with her little hand and laughed softly.
"...Well, after all, my mother once said, 'When the time comes, strike.'"
Sirzechs sighed softly.
The eyes of everyone in the venue involuntarily fell on the red-haired girl who invited the Devil King to dance.
Surprise, worry, amusement, envy... Under all kinds of gazes, the black-haired young man looked at the red-haired girl in front of him and smiled calmly.
"Of course."
After saying that, Ryan put one hand behind his back and stretched out the other hand towards the girl.
"It's a great honor."
With a gentle smile, Rias placed her hand on the black-haired young man's, and together they walked towards the dance floor.
So, in order to cooperate with the two of them, the angels played their instruments again, and the scene once again recalled the melodious sound.
This was Ryan's first time dancing; he had never learned it before, nor had the opportunity to learn. However, through his 'Thousand Magic Tricks' ability, Ryan performed with the skill and dexterity of a gentleman veteran.
The same is true for Rias. After all, as the daughter of a Gremory family, she naturally received elite education from her family since childhood, so dancing was a piece of cake for her.
The two of them danced to their heart's content under the dim light with perfect coordination.
The people at the venue were also attracted by this perfect couple, their wonderful material possessions and elegant temperament, and gradually fell into it.
After the music ended, Ryan returned to the crowd holding the girl's fair hand.
For a moment, the surrounding devils and fallen angel girls all cast envious glances at Rias.
After all, which of the girls present here wouldn't want to dance with the devil king?
But unfortunately, they do not have the courage of Red-Haired Princess and can only suppress their wishes in their hearts.
"Sona."
Rias chuckled and called out her friend's name.
It's as if to say, 'I've shown you how to do it, why don't you just jump in?'
"I..."
Sona hesitated for a moment.
Finally, she mustered up the courage and came before the young devil king.
She smiled a beautiful smile, and asked Ryan, "Ryan-sama, could you please dance with me?"
"Sure."
Ryan still did not refuse the girl's invitation and accepted it with pleasure.
As expected, he is a person with a casual personality who will not refuse the sincere invitation of his subordinates.
Thinking of this, Sona smiled even brighter.
"Hmm!? Sona..."
Looking at the two people dancing on the dance floor and becoming the focus of the crowd again, Serafall burst into tears.
It was as if something important to me was ruthlessly taken away by someone, and I felt sad and upset.
"I understand how you feel, Serafall."
Sirzechs smiled wryly and comforted his friend.
"No, you can't understand! After all, isn't Ajuka the most important person to Sirzechs!?"
"——Huh!!!?"
