"Fresh air still the best after all..."

Hiroto said as he tiredly stretched his body. Breathing in the fresh air outside the mansion after 100 years of smelling nothing but blood and burning meat during his training in hell. Making Hiroto walk around the front yard of the mansion and stop in front of the bar stand next to the large pool. 

"Is there anything you wish to drink, Hiroto-sama?"

A female demon who just came out of his shadow asked while standing inside the bar stand. Taking off her mask to reveal a delicate young girl with long white hair flowing down her back and blood-red eyes. Just like the rest of the demons in hell.

"Old Fashioned"

"Coming right up"

The female demon said before grabbing a glass from the drawers and placing it on top of the table. She then grabbed a single sugar cube and placed it inside of the glass, adding in 3 dashes of bitters and soda water to help dissolve the sugar cube and bitters when she muddles it.

"... I was wondering but... what did you girls learn from Beelzebub and Azazel during your years of training with them?"

He asked while muddling the sugar cube until it dissolved completely in the mix. She then grabbed a bottle of bourbon whiskey from the drawer and poured it into a 2-ounce jigger to measure it before pouring it inside the glass. 

"... We learned assassination and combat skills from them for 200 years and the remaining 100 years is where they taught us various skills to serve you in times of need. Be it sewing, bartending, cleaning, and stalki- I mean scouting. "

"Is that so..."

Hiroto said wondering why was there a need for them to be taught to do something like that. He thought that all they taught them was mastery over assassination and scouting but he didn't expect them to be taught a variety of life skills, causing them to look a bit like a combat maid more than a guard in his eyes.

"Enjoy"

She said as she stopped squeezing the lemon peel and placed it on top of the large chunk of ice as a garnish. Making Hiroto grabbed the glass and placed it close to his mouth. Taking a small sip of the cocktail as the taste of a slightly sweet whiskey spread on his tongue.

"... Taste great"

He said as he sat on the chair and looked at the pool that they have never used even once with a relaxed expression on his face.

"Where are my lovers?"

"They are all busy managing the internal and external activities of the guild, Hiroto-sama. Lucifer-sama and Beelzebub-sama have left the mansion since this morning to deal with an urgent matter"

"... An urgent matter? Did something happen?"

"It is nothing serious, Hiroto-sama. They left to 'negotiate' with a few trespassers in your territory and to recruit a few new members along the way"

"How long will they be out?"

"... I'm sorry, but we weren't also informed about the time they come back. From the reports of the other groups, it seems like they don't plan to return home for the time being. Just like the other heads and demons as they already made up their minds to establish a strong foundation for the guild within 1-2 weeks"

She reported, causing Hiroto to frown in response while touching the mouth of the glass in front of him. Looking towards the gate of the mansion with an exhausted sigh.

"Why are they suddenly rushing our development? I instructed them to take things slow, didn't I?"

"They would develop the influences and strength of the faction within the dark, Hiroto-sama so there is no need for you to worry about being targeted by other guilds... and the reason for their sudden change is unknown even to us"
