DxD: Transfer Student

Chapter 72: Touch of Jealousy! Meeting Mai Sister!

Perhaps because she had just finished a photoshoot, Mai Sakurajima's face was lightly made up, and paired with her outfit, she looked particularly mature.

Badr carefully observed her, then smiled faintly and said, "Mai, you're as stunning as ever today."

"You must have quite a few beauties around you, right?"

Mai suddenly asked, her tone dropping significantly as if something had come to mind, even exuding a subtle yet undeniable sense of pressure.

"Hmm?"

"I can smell another woman's scent on you," Mai bluntly pointed out.

In fact, she had noticed it the moment she got out of the car.

She shared this with Badr.

"...A woman's senses are surprisingly sharp," Badr couldn't help but marvel.

Moreover, if she noticed it as soon as she got out of the car, it's impressive that she held off asking until now...

As expected of Mai Sakurajima.

Upon hearing Badr's comment, Mai Sakurajima didn't say anything but silently reached out and pinched Badr's cheek.

"...That hurts."

Badr let Mai pinch his cheek, his eyes fixed on her. To Mai, he looked as if he was sulking.

She then let go of his cheek.

Badr also came to his senses, shrugging lightly, "It's probably the scent of Rias, and a few other companions who are always with me."

"Rias?"

She had a rough idea of Badr's world, and he had never hidden anything from her. She knew there were many other girls around him, all of them Devils like him.

Mai was a rational person; she never intended to impose human morals on Badr.

However, a rare trace of melancholy appeared in her eyes.

"I just sometimes wonder if we can ever truly be together."

After all, Badr was already a Devil, while Mai Sakurajima was just an ordinary human girl. This was something even Rias had seriously reminded Badr about.

"...Rias reminded me that a Devil's lifespan is nearly eternal. Normally, I wouldn't be able to be with you forever, but there are ways."

Badr smiled as he embraced Mai Sakurajima's waist. "Would you be willing to transform into a Devil in the future and be my wife forever?"

"...It feels like you're tempting me with immortality."

"I'm tempting you with the chance to be with me forever," Badr corrected her. "I think it's a deal with no downside."

"I'll think about it," Mai Sakurajima smiled slightly, not agreeing immediately. Badr understood she had people and things she couldn't easily let go of, like her family.

Badr wasn't in a hurry since they had plenty of time.

"Let's go; we should head back soon."

Mai naturally linked arms with Badr as they started walking.

"Aren't you done with work?"

"My family's coming over," Mai explained.

The first person that came to Badr's mind was that mature woman who bore a striking resemblance to Mai Sakurajima.

"Have you fully reconciled with your mother?" Badr asked cautiously.

"No, it's my sister who's coming."
