Naruto X Dxd Shadow Emperor

Ch-4 (Time for work)

A few days after the eventful party, Naruto found himself seated on the balcony of his family's grand estate. The sprawling grounds of the Marbas residence stretched out before him, bathed in the gentle glow of the setting sun. The elegant architecture of the estate, with its high spires and intricately designed balconies, contrasted beautifully with the serene natural beauty of the surroundings.

The young Naruto gazed out at the picturesque scene, his obsidian hair rustling slightly in the breeze. His ruby-red eyes, usually filled with fiery spirit3, seemed introspective and contemplative. He sat there, lost in thought, his mind dwelling on the recent events that had unfolded at the Phenex family party

The incident with Erica had left an impression on him, one that was difficult to shake. He pondered the nature of relationships and the complexities of Human/Devil's interactions, realizing that he was growing up and that his world was evolving in ways he hadn't fully grasped before.

As the sun dipped lower on the horizon, casting long shadows across the estate, Naruto continued to sit on the balcony, the gentle sounds of the evening serving as a backdrop to his thoughts. His young heart was filled with a mix of emotions, uncertainty, as he contemplated the path ahead in this new phase of his life

Just as he was lost in contemplation, Smith Belphegor, a member of the Extra Devil Clans and the Head Butler of the Marbas household, appeared beside him with his usual air of sophistication. The butler cleared his throat gently to announce his presence.

"Master Naruto," Smith began, "Lady Emiko has requested your presence for dinner this evening. She has prepared a special meal for you."

Naruto turned his attention to the butler and nodded in acknowledgment. "Thank you, Smith. I'll be there shortly."

With that, Smith Belphegor gave a polite bow and retreated, leaving Naruto to his thoughts once more. Tonight's dinner would be a chance for him to spend quality time with his mother and perhaps discuss recent events. As he rose from his seat on the balcony, Naruto couldn't help but wonder what the future held for him in the world of devils.

After a quick change of attire, Naruto made his way to the dining hall, where the Marbas family and their guests were already gathered. The meal passed pleasantly, with polite conversation and laughter filling the room. Naruto found himself engaged in discussions about various devil clans and their customs, gaining valuable insights into the intricate web of relationships that defined the Underworld's society.

As the dinner drew to a close, Smith Belphegor, who had been discreetly observing Naruto, approached him once again. "Young Master, if I may make a request," he began.

Naruto regarded Smith with curiosity. "Of course, Smith-san. What is it?"

Smith took a moment to choose his words carefully. "I humbly request that you consider taking my daughter, Miyo Belphegor, into your peerage."

Smith took a moment to choose his words carefully. "I humbly request that you consider taking my daughter, Miyo Belphegor, into your peerage."

Naruto raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the unexpected proposition. "Miyo Belphegor? I've heard the name before, but what would be the advantages of having her in my peerage?"

Smith cleared his throat before explaining. "Miyo is a unique individual. She is half-human, and as you may be aware, half-breeds in the devil society are often treated as inferior. However, Miyo possesses a powerful Sacred Gear known as 'Saviour.' It allows her to heal minor injuries, including fractures, and cleanse the body of toxins and poisons. Her abilities could prove invaluable to your peerage, and she has a kind heart. I believe she would benefit greatly from being under your protection."
