Highschool DxD: Dragon's Ascent

Chapter 64: Fly of Beelzebub

It has been 3 days since I had arrived in the underworld and I have been obscenely busy. After helping me get settled Sera had to leave on business as expected of one of the figureheads of an entire race.

What did I do during those days? Well, I explored the capital a little, then spent the rest of the time looking over my Auction House and Emporium, the two buildings that would be imperative for my growth. I also spent time learning more space magic and established a teleportation circle from the underworld to my mansion to import some of my homunculi over to take care of my Gothic Mansion(I did this one with a gothic design because it was in the underworld).

Also I finally briefly met with Grayfia again, I was assigned to clean this mansion in her free time, I didn't exactly have the time to mess with her since I was designing homunculi and doing alchemy at the same time. Which seemed to annoy her even more for some reason.

After one day when I had returned to my gothic mansion from producing another high-grade Elixir for the promotion quest I suddenly received a mental ping from the doorbell of my mansion(I linked the doorbell to my mind). Getting up from where I was busy drawing schematics for new items I could produce I went to the door and opened.

"Good evening, Lord Katsuragi. Lord Satan Beelzebub has sent me to ask you if you are available to see him and that if you are, for me to receive you." A butler with grey hair was in front of my door and damn...

I completely forgot about Ajuka from how grossly busy I was with arranging my auction. I definitely needed to meet him, and I had wanted to too, I just had problems with fixations and hyperfocusing.

Awkwardly I scratched the back of my head.

"Oh, yeah , definitely . Lead the way, I was just a bit too busy these days to get back to him." Fuck, this was horribly embarrassing, why was I so fucking incompetent?

The butler just smiled to relax me.

"No need to worry, Lord Satan Beelzebub is quite understanding, he knew you would be rather busy around this time."

Hopefully, Ajuka was a good fellow, I have no idea since I only watched the anime he had like 4 and three-quarter seconds of screen time.

The butler had teleported to somewhere that was a mix between a high-tech laboratory and a mansion where a tall handsome man with slicked back green hair and blue eyes with a neutral was waiting for us. Seeing me appear he approached me and raised his hands for a handshake which I reciprocated.

"It's good to finally meet you, Lord Beelzebub, admittedly, I didn't get to hear much about you considering I have been a devil for less than a month now, but I have seen some of your works, I am very interested in them." I said honestly, I didn't need to put up a front for politics or business here, I genuinely thought his work was sick.

Ajuka smiled lightly.

"Then I suppose my reputation is doing good, I prefer keeping an air of mystery, which makes me seem more devilish and other people less likely to bother. It's good to meet you Sekiryuutei-dono, or whichever title you prefer. And I must say likewise, your work with your potions and seals is something I find very fascinating. Perhaps you would like to discuss our professions as scientists in a more comfortable environment?" He offered and I could see the glint of curiosity in his eyes, very similar to the one Azazel has.
