Abel said helplessly, then turned around.
Behind him stood a beautiful girl with long golden hair, blue tips, and wearing 20th-century European clothing.
The girl's full name was Latia Astarotte, and she was the same age as Abel. By seniority, this girl was his niece.
Watching Abel's frantic expression, Latia's lips curved slightly, and she was in a very good mood.
Sometimes, teasing her so-called uncle was quite enjoyable.
"Master, who is this?" At this moment, Abel's Shinobu Kocho asked.
Abel was about to introduce her, but Latia spoke first.
"My name is Latia. So you're my uncle's Peerage, huh? Please take care of me from now on."
"Hello, Miss Latia, please take care of us too from now on."
"Hello, Miss Latia..." Everyone said one after another.
Latia blinked playfully, her gaze sweeping over the Peerage, then she looked at Abel with a playful expression.
"Well~ I didn't expect that my uncle, who used to be so detached, now has a Peerage full of beautiful girls. I wonder what the difference is between uncle and Riser, that roast chicken~"
Abel was completely immune to this remark.
Instead, he said with great pride, "It's a hero's nature for a man to be lustful."
"Well~ Uncle has really changed a lot~"
Looking at the serious Abel, Latia smiled.
At this moment, Grayfia emerged from the carriage.
The moment she saw Grayfia, Latia's lips curved upwards, "Sister Grayfia, long time no see~"
"Long time no see, Miss Latia," Grayfia said seriously.
Then Latia held Grayfia's arm and whispered to her.
Abel looked at Grayfia and Latia, rubbed his temples, and then asked, "By the way, Latia, why are you here?"
"Of course, Uncle Ajuka sent me to pick you up."
Listening to Latia's answer, Abel nodded.
After all, he was riding on the train his eldest brother had made; it would be strange if he didn't know.
Then everyone chatted for a while.
Two carriages slowly approached.
"Lord Abel, Miss Latia, please get in the carriage."
Abel led his Peerage towards the carriage, with Latia and Grayfia walking beside them.
Once in the carriage, Abel, Grayfia, and Latia sat in one, while Abel's Peerage sat in the other.
As the carriages started, they drove towards a certain place.
...
Soon, the carriage slowly stopped outside an old castle.
Abel was the first to get off the carriage, looking up at the familiar yet unfamiliar old castle.
Well~ It's been a long time since he's been home.
His eldest brother was the same; after all, he spent most of his time in Beelzebub's Demon King Castle.
Latia and Grayfia also elegantly stepped out of the carriage, both adjusting their skirts.
Abel's Peerage also got off the other carriage one after another, curiously observing their surroundings.
After all, it was their first time in the Underworld, and their first time visiting Abel's home in the Underworld.
At this moment, the gate of the old castle slowly opened.
A figure stood at the entrance, wearing a beach set and flip-flops, "My foolish little brother, have you finally decided to come back?"
This guy was none other than Ajuka.
"Big Brother, long time no see."
"Yes, come in quickly. You've been on the train for so long; I've prepared a lavish dinner for you."
Everyone entered in an orderly fashion; the old castle was brightly lit and extremely luxurious.
At the dinner, fine wine and delicious food filled the tables.
Abel and Ajuka chatted about what had happened recently, and also recounted what had happened in the other world.
Latia and Shinobu Kocho chatted amongst themselves.
That dinner passed in laughter and joy.
"By the way, little brother."
"What is it, Big Brother?"
"Come with me for a moment."
Without asking for the reason, Abel followed Ajuka towards the study.
The two walked down the corridor.
"Have you met that little fellow Sairaorg?"
"Big Brother Sairaorg, yes, I met him. We chatted for a while."
"Any thoughts?"
"No thoughts, but I certainly won't lose this Rating Game."
"Hahaha, I like you like that."
Along the way, Ajuka and Abel discussed the participants of the Rating Game.
Families like Sitri, Gremory, Bael, Phoenix, and so on.
Soon they arrived at the study. The two walked in and closed the door.
Then they sat facing each other.
A light flashed in Ajuka's hand, and two envelopes appeared, which he then placed on the table for Abel.
"This is?"
"Open them and see for yourself."
Abel nodded, then opened the first envelope.
Inside was clearly a school exchange student form.
"Private Saikai Academy Exchange Student List?"
Looking at the school, Abel had some impression, but not a deep one, unsure which anime it was from. He then continued to read.
"Exchange student candidate, Abel."
Upon seeing this, Abel was stunned, then looked at his eldest brother, "This is asking me to be an exchange student at this school? Big Brother, why this sudden arrangement?"
Facing Abel's question, Ajuka simply crossed his arms and smiled, "Rias and Sona, as well as their Peerage, all need training, and the Rating Game is starting in a month.
Currently, you're the only one idle, and moreover, their target, to be precise, is you."
"Me!?"
Abel was stunned. He didn't even know them, so how could he be their target?
"That's right. Although you don't know the school, you certainly know the Lion King Organization, right?"
Hearing about the Lion King Organization, Abel remembered.
The Lion King Matchmaking Agency, right?
If that's the case.
"Alright, I'll take this exchange student position."
Abel nodded, then signed his name on the exchange list.
At the same time.
Lion King Organization.
The organization's leader seemed to sense something.
"Finally, it's here."
"Indeed."
"In that case, send Yukina to serve as a guard, and it would be best if the King also brought that Fourth Progenitor vampire along."
"Seconded."
The scene returned to Abel's side.
Abel, having signed his name, opened the second envelope.
"Soul Contract?"
"Contractor Nangong Nayuki?"
Looking at the Soul Contract in front of him, Abel was stunned for a moment, then looked at his eldest brother, hoping for an explanation.
"Well, this is the fault of the previous Beelzebub. Don't look at me, Big Brother."
Ajuka spread his hands, then continued, "We demons are very humanitarian now; we don't do Soul Contracts anymore."
"As for this item, it's a small privilege of mine, Big Brother. That girl Nangong Nayuki has good talent. Originally, she was reserved for you to be your queen, but who knew you'd find so many Peerage, so she was always set aside.
It was only a few days ago, with the exchange student matter, that I remembered her.
So, regarding this contract, if you want Nangong Nayuki to become your Peerage, keep it. If not, then break the Soul Contract with her and release her true body."
