Hironori surprisingly calmly said “And my name is Isa Hiron-“ However he was cut short because Asmodeus suddenly glared at him and said “Looks like we have a pest that actually dares to touch my property, looks as if it has a death wish!”
As she said that Hironori felt as if his blood was suddenly burning, and oddly enough at most if could only be described as slightly uncomfortable, there was nothing painful about. Then he saw thick black smoke fly out of him as he simultaneously felt as if a great weight was taken off of him.
The black smoke reformed into the monster he saw the other day, and it had it’s pig head. Before anyone could react Asmodeus simply snapped her fingers and the flames that surrounded her went over to if and devoured it, leaving nothing left. As everyone present was shocked by her display just now she casually said, “Shall we continue from where we left off?”
Hironori snapped out of it, and more respectfully said “As I was saying before my name is Isa Hironori, and if its okay with you may we start the contracting process?”
She giggled mischievously and said “Of course, first off I will be calling you Hiro, and here are my demands if I am going to contract with you. First, I plan on constantly staying in this form, as such I need you to take care of all my daily needs. Next, I want you to take me to explore this world. And lastly I want you to promise me that the time I spend with you will be fun.”
She continues on confidently “In exchange for these small demands of mine I will grant you enormous power and will protect you. So what do you think, pretty good deal right?”
Hironori was confused and irritated by her attitude and thought to himself “What is her deal, she sounds extremely cocky, her way of speaking makes it sound as if she is here on vacation” So he voiced a few of his concerns. “Before I agree I have a few questions the first being exactly how powerful are you? Why are your demands so simple? Why do you not want my soul, and finally what is this mark that goes up my arm?”
Asmodeus looked at him with obvious confusion on her face “What do you mean how powerful are you, do you not know what the title of Asmodeus means?”
When she saw him shake his head she looked amused and said “Well for you first question, in the demon world the seventy two strongest demons get a title, it being a name of one of the original seventy-two pillars of Solomon. Also the only way to get the title is to kill the previous titleholder, so I guess according to your ranking system I would be in the highest tier of SSS."
She seemed to enjoy the dumbstruck look of plain confusion on everyone’s face, including Nao and Haruka, as she started to laugh and said “Hahaha is it really that hard to believe after what I just did to the demon that was touching my possession. As for the next question it is simply because they are simple, I am still young and have never been to the human’s world and thought that it would be fun to explore. Next, while you may have an abnormally strong soul, when a demon get as strong as I am there is no use for it, even if your soul were ten times stronger, the effect would still be negligible at best. Lastly that mark just shows that you are now my property, and is a mark of our contract that’s it.”
After answering his questions he thought for some reason that he absolutely couldn’t pass up this opportunity! So
following that feeling he said quickly “Yes! Please allow me to contract with you!”
Again acting like she was high and mighty said “Yes that is more like it, know your place and appreciate how lucky you are to have found me. And with this the contract will be complete.” She confidently swaggered up to him and while he was mesmerized by everything about her she lightly kissed him on the lips and Hironori could not move a muscle, as if he were in a trance. When she separated from him she hopped back with both hands behind her back and gave a sexy, mature smile while saying “That’s cute Hiro, were you hoping that it would be longer?”
At that time he realized what just happened and quickly jumped backwards while yelling “As if, thanks to you my precious first kiss was taken away by a demon!”
She obviously to be upset and said, “What are you not satisfied about with me? Both my looks, and my personality are perfect, are they not?”
He grumbled “Your personality certainly leaves something to be desired.”
Asmodeus quickly shut him up by responding “You complained about my personality for some reason, but you did not complain about my body did you?” while slowly walking towards him shyly.
“Ahem! I am sorry to interrupt your newly found romance, but would mind if I asked a few questions?”
She glared at him and said, “Since you have already ruined the mood you might as well.” Hearing this Hironori gave a relieved sigh and Nao said, “Then, is your rank as high as you say it is, and if it is what is your rank in the 72 pillars?”
She said with rage obviously in her voice “ If you do not believe my words have your demon come and confirm my strength!”
Nao nodded and said “Come before me, defend against all in existence, Jotunn!” Hironori saw an extremely bright very pale blue light come out of him and a 15 feet tall giant that looked as if it were made of crystal clear ice standing before him.

The demon, not knowing why it was summoned quickly scanned its surroundings to identify the threat. And as soon as it saw those lingering purple and blue flames, and Asmodeus who was wearing a glare on her face. He almost immediately kneeled in front of her and begged in a deep, resonant voice “my lord please do not punish this one for not noticing you and paying my respects sooner.”
In a lofty tone that seemed to naturally suit her “Its is of no concern you are now dismissed.”
“Thank you for your mercy.” And it disappeared back into Nao’s body. Nao and Haruka who witnessed this were shocked and they seemed to pale slightly. Asmodeus seemed to think that this was only natural, and Hironori, did not understand the severity of what just happened.
While still pale Nao said, “I am sorry for my earlier doubts.” The previous sight blew away all of Nao’s earlier suspicions, he knew that normally the only one that demons listened to were their contractors, however there was only one exception, when the demon is not only deeply frightened by another’s strength, but also respects the individual.
While Nao was thinking about what just happened Asmodeus said boastfully “While I maybe the youngest of the 72 pillars, in power alone I rank in the high twenties, maybe early thirties.”
Hironori interrupted them and asked, “What do you mean in power alone?”
As Asmodeus was about to say something, Nao answered “The ranking is in pure power alone because different elements subdue each other, for example, Asmodeus specializes in fire, so it naturally very difficult to fight a demon specializing in water, that has power comparable to her own.”
He suddenly understood and went “Okay, thank you. Since Nao seemed satisfied with the answers he got he walked towards Haruka and deeply bowed to her and said, “Thank you, without you none of this would have been possible! Anytime you need anything please contact me.”
Haruka seemed to have recovered from the shock of the things she had seen and smiled saying “I was merely doing my job, please do not think anything of it.”
He bowed once more to her and walked over to Nao and did the same thing, Nao smiled slightly and said “don’t regret your words later.”
After that Hironori left with Asmodeus and they walked back to his house from the shrine. They were walking down a street in the middle of the city in the dead of night while Asmodeus was glued to his arm because with his measly strength he could not put up any resistance. Making conversation to help himself calm down he said “Earlier you said that you inherited the title Asmodeus, what was you name before that?”
She whispered into his ear to tease him “Before that I was Rosalie.”
While trying his best to sound calm and failing completely “Then, since you arbitrarily gave me the nickname of Hiro, I will be calling you Rose.”
She giggled and said do what you want and the rest of the walk was just small talk between the two.
When they arrived at his home she ran inside and with an attitude similar to that of a puppy explored the entire house. While curious about all the technology, she did not seem all that surprised and when he asked her about it she simply answered, “I have been wanting to explore this world for awhile so I talked to demons that had previously came here and learned as much about it as I could.”
He said “It is so late at night I plan on going straight to sleep, what about you?”
She said, “yes, that sounds great!”
“Well then, you can sleep in the bed while I will sleep in on the couch for tonight.” He said this while thinking that it would make him look good and her reply shocked him.
“No! I want something to hug while I sleep, so let’s sleep together on the bed.”
He got very embarrassed and while looking away and blushing said, “No, that would be way too inappropriate.”
She smiled while walking closer to him and said “If you don’t sleep in the bed with me I’ll sleep on the couch with you.”
He called her bluff and laid on the couch. He closed his eyes, and a few minutes passed, but then he felt a sudden weight on his lower waist. When he opened his eyes she was straddling him, and she was only wearing one of his old tee shirts, and could see black panties flashing whenever she moved too much.
Being happy at seeing this yet extremely embarrassed at it actually happening to him, he yelled at that devilishly smiling face “Fine lets go to the bed, but you can only use me as a pillow, nothing else!”
She promptly got off and said “Now wouldn’t this have been easier if you had just agreed in the first place, lets go, Hiro.”
The next morning Hiro was exhausted because he got virtually no sleep, and after making breakfast for the two of them while they were eating he heard a knock at the door. When he opened it there were two large, imposing men in black suits standing there. They said “Good morning Mr. Isa Hironori, we are from the National Magic Institute of Japan and we have come here to deliver a letter from Endo Naoki. When you are done reading it please come back here.
