True Magician

Chapter 53

Kuoh Academy.

The sound of footsteps echoed rhythmically through the empty corridor leading to the academy's conference room. Parents' Day had already ended a couple hours ago, and the entire area was already covered by closed fields and surrounded by guards of angels, fallen and demons. The sun had already started to leave the firmament, making a beautiful scarlet sunset visible outside the windows.

All the time until the meeting, I preferred to lie at home in Tia's arms. Of course, my cell phone wouldn't stop vibrating with incoming calls from Sona, since I wasn't at work. True, they were all ignored due to more pressing matters. That said, I called Azazel and asked him to share some information about the Nasurverse.

When I reached the door to the conference room, I entered without ceremony, as if it were my home, which attracted the attention of the personalities present.

The conference hall was a spacious rectangular room with a round table in the middle. Behind it sat Michael, Gabriel, Azazel, Sirzechs, and Serafall. And behind their backs were Griselda, Vali, Barakiel, and Greyfia. At the same time along the wall stood Rias and Sona with their retinues, well, and Xenovia and Irina.

Under their raised gazes and cheerful smirks, I made my way to the center of the room and took the vacant chair that was obviously meant for me.

- "Hmm? What's the reaction?" I asked, making myself comfortable, "Don't tell me I got the date wrong."

- "You didn't get the date wrong, just the time. The meeting's been going on for an hour, you know. We thought you weren't coming," Azazel grinned, and then pointed behind me, "Who's that with you?"

I didn't have time to answer as the man behind me beat me to it.

- "What an entertaining sight, husband. So many important figures gathered in one room, and all of them waiting just for you. I am impressed." Morgan said in a tone filled with amusement and intrigue, and created a chair beside me and sat down on it.

- "Husband?!" Issei and Saji exclaimed.

I rubbed my temples.

They stared at Morgan openly, trying to figure out who she was. And of all of them, only Gabriel, Griselda, and Akeno stood out. The archangel's eyes widened and his lips quivered as he realized who was seated next to me.

Akeno and Griselda, on the other hand... they were naturally starting to reek of... jealousy? Okay, Akeno, she had already started showing signs of attention long ago, but Griselda? Quite unexpected. They bit their lower lip and stared directly at Morgan. Of course, the latter noticed this and, smirking smugly, put her arm around my waist and rested her head on my shoulder, causing them to clench their hands into a fist.

- "And you are quick, my husband. How many other women have fallen before you?" giggled the Fairy Queen, looking at Akeno and Griselda.

- "Who is she, Romani-san?" Sirzechs inquired, choosing to ignore the scene before him.

- "And why does she call you 'husband'?" Akeno hissed, causing all of Rias' entourage and herself to stare at her in surprise.

- "Can we get back to the subject at hand?" I asked with a twitch of an eyebrow.

- "Well, I'd like to know the answer to Sirzechs's question, too," Michael said in his usual tone, "Your companion smells of great power."

- "She smells... magical..." Koneko added, drawing attention to herself, "Like a fairy..."

- "A fairy?" Serafall mumbled thoughtfully, "It's been centuries since I last saw them."

Looking around, I noticed that those present had decided to focus their attention on Morgan, causing a tired sigh to come out of my throat.
