The next morning Alex awoke surrounded by the entire church trio, all of whom started waking up when he started moving. Kiryuu was off to the side pa.s.sed out while laying in a position that was very unlady like, extremely sore from Alex"s actions the night before. Mere minutes after they woke up the door opened, and Grayfia walked in followed by two members of Ravel"s peerage. Most of her peerage had been given various roles in the manor, and the ones following Grayfia were Marion and Burent, maids that worked under her. Alex and the three girls got off of the bed(he had to pick up Kiryuu) and the two started changing the sheets, while the rest of them put on some robes and left to go to the manor"s hot springs with Grayfia following her master.After a quick bath the four girls went to get ready for school, while Alex went straight to breakfast, where he found Rias, Akeno, Ravel, and Le Fay. A little after he started eating, Ravel started highlighting some of the things he"d focus on during the day.
"The other manors are about done, with only a few last minute finishing touches being made. Some of the residents have already moved in, or are in the process of moving." Alex nodded and said,
"I"ll go and take a look later to see how they are doing, and if there needs to be any improvements." Ravel smiled, and went through a few other things that he"d have to look into. She and Grayfia seemed to have split the roles of his attendant, Ravel focusing on running the items related to the manor and Asora, while Grayfia was more personal and followed him to a.s.sist in whatever he needed. Ravel didn"t like this at first, as Grayfia would inevitably be spending more time with him than her, but gave in when it was pointed out that she would have more responsibilities than Grayfia, effectively being more useful.
Alex"s schedule for the day consisted of meeting with each of the representatives, checking on the manors for Vali"s team, Seekvaira, and Sairaorg, and checking the training area underground. He had been more active in running Asora in recent days, as he didn"t attend university like the others, and wanted everything to be ready when it was time to leave. Rias and the others had expressed interest in leaving school to be of more help, but Alex shot them down because they would be living in Asora full time in a little over a year anyways.
While Ravel outlined his schedule for the day, Grayfia wrote down everything she said to ensure he didn"t forget anything. Once she was done though, Le Fay then spoke up,
"Um Alex, that person also said they"d be ok to meet you today as well. They"ll be teleporting to j.a.pan later to meet at a cafe, this is the place and time to meet her." She then handed him a slip of paper, which after reading Alex said,
"Thanks Le Fay, I"ll make sure to meet her on time." When he said "her" the rest of the girls became curious, and were almost tempted to investigate who he was meeting. Alex noticed their reactions and smiled before saying,
"You guys don"t need to worry, it"s a potential resident of Vali"s manor, not ours. Le Fay wanted me to do her a favor by hiring her to work in their manor, but I"ll need to meet her later." They let out an almost audible sigh of relief at his words, and became cheery again. They all acknowledged that he"ll add several more girls to his harem, but that didn"t mean they accepted him collecting every girl he saw. Soon the church trio and Kiryuu arrived for breakfast as well, with Kiryuu walking bow legged due to the previous nights activities. They continued having breakfast while chatting away about various things, before the girls finally had to leave for the day. He gave each one a swift peck on the lips as they left, with Le Fay getting one on the cheek.
Alex soon left for his own duties, with Grayfia right behind him, as they flew through the sky towards one of the taller buildings in the city below. He landed in front of the closest one, a multi leveled building with the symbol of Serafall leviathan on it, the main workplace of the Devils representative. What somewhat confused him, was the larg construction project right beside it that wasn"t there before. He entered the building and was promptly met by a secretary in a sharp suit, who said,
"Miss leviathan is currently on the top floor discussing the plans for the new building next door, should I notify her of your arrival sir?" As everyone in Asora knew him the secretary didn"t dare try to keep him from meeting with Serafall. Alex shook his head at her and said,
"I"ll just head on up and surprise her, thank you for your help." The woman nodded, and as they pa.s.sed Grayfia also paid her a brief nod before leaving, bringing a smile to the woman"s face. As the top floor was only five floors up. It didn"t take Alex and Grayfia long to reach it through the the elevator. He had wondered why the building was so short before, but Serafall said it was because there was no need for a skysc.r.a.per yet due to the low amount of personal, and that it would just be a waste of resources.
He arrived at the main meeting room, to see Serafall talking to about twenty people about the new building. After a few minutes the meeting was dismissed, and the people went back to their work areas. When Serafall left the meeting room the first thing she saw was Alex waiting for her, to which she simply said,
"Let"s go to my office." Alex raised an eyebrow as he followed her, she was completely in business mode. He decided to mess with her a little, and pinched her b.u.t.t when she walked past him. Serafall jumped a little, and glared at him before continuing to her office, earning a small chuckle from both Alex and surprisingly Grayfia. One thing he had come to learn about Serafall was that she was only accepting of their relationship if Sona was involved. For example, she was very lovey during their date, but only because she was planning the night activities with Sona later. If Alex mentioned inviting her and Sona to his room later, she would immediately turn into a loving girlfriend. After they entered her office she sat down and turned to him before asking,
"So what"s up?" Alex shrugged and said,
"I"m just going around and checking with the representatives, seeing if there"s anything of concern. So what"s up with the new building next door?" She then smiled and said in her normal manner,
"It"s the new studio for my show, Miracle?Levitan!?" there was then a flash of light and the suit she was wearing changed into her magical girl outfit. Alex"s brow twitched and he asked,
"So you"re making an entire studio just to continue your show after we leave the world?" She nodded enthusiastically and said,
"Currently we have to record any shows being aired in the underworld, or the human world, then bring them here to show. Once we leave however we can"t do that, so I decided to create a studio so that we can keep making my show!?" Alex sighed, understanding about her intentions, but confused on one thing.
"Why just stop at your one show though? Or do you plan to suffocate people, with Miracle?Levitan?" She looked confused and asked,
"So what do you want?" He simply replied,
"I don"t mind continuing your show, just make others as well if you can. There won"t be any new shows unless we make them here, so you"ll pretty much own the entertainment industry, just have some variety." Surprisingly she seriously started contemplating his words, as if she never realized that she"d basically own the entertainment industry in Asora. The two continued talking for a while, then Alex left to find Barakiel.
As the fallen angels new research facility was just a few blocks over, Alex simply walked the distance. Once he entered the building he was once again directed right to Barakiel, and headed to the top floor of the building. He went to Barakiel"s office, and opened the door to find him eating from a lunchbox with tears running down his face. Alex smiled and stood back to let him finish eating, figuring that the food was from Akeno, as it was the only food he could think of that would make Barakiel react in such a way. After a few minutes he finished eating, and turned to Alex before saying,
"Sorry for the wait, I was enjoying a early lunch. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Alex could tell that Barakiel was trying to act professional since Alex was technically his boss in Asora.
"I just came to check up on things, make sure everything is going well, father." He slipped that in just to throw Barakiel off a little. As Alex expected he froze for a second, then threw away the professionalism from before and shouted,
"Who"s your father?!" Rejecting Alex with everything he could. Alex laughed silently as Barakiel went on about all the things he"d do to Alex if he could, though they both knew he never would, it would make Akeno sad after all. Finally Alex said,
"Alright, alright, so how"s the new manor?" Stalling once again at the change in topic, Barakiel realized Alex was simply messing with him and tried to fix his composure. He then replied,
"It"s good, a little big, but I could probably have a few of the guys move in as well. I ended up naming it Stormy Manor." Alex nodded, having heard most of this from Akeno previously. What he didn"t hear Barakiel say though, was that he already modeled a room for Akeno, in the hope she would occasionally stay with him. They talked about a few more things, before Alex left to move on to talk to Gabriel, then Yasaka.
