Pov Dia,
Sirzechs: "Does anyone have an alternative for a Devil to govern the city of Kuoh?"
After Cleria's death, the Four Satans wanted a replacement, but since none has been decided yet, I have taken over.
However, even if I step aside and allow someone else to govern the city—especially to advance the peace treaty—I will still have the final say on the governor's decisions.
Sera: "The problem is that it has to be someone we can trust, not just anyone from the streets."
Indeed, Cleria was trustworthy enough to rule, and I will not leave my city in the hands of a member of the Great King's faction.
Ajuka: "Why not choose someone from the younger generation to govern?"
Dia: "He would need time to grow a little more. Sairaorg won't be a candidate because he still has training to complete. I'm sure Revali doesn't trust his brother—despite his training, he has an oversized ego. As for the others, they are unreliable, unless we choose Riri and So-tan, but then we would be criticized for being too biased."
Sirzechs: "Since when do you care about other people's opinions?"
Dia: "Never. I don't care what they think, but I'm only here to help you. Otherwise, those old nobles will believe that I want to annex the Devils into my faction."
Sera: "It's very kind of you to consider what others might think of us, Dia-chan, but I'm sure that So-tan and Rias could govern."
Dia: "I know that So-tan will manage without any problems because she is very smart, but I still have doubts about Riri. She is a little lazy, and I have to force her to train. And that's all because a certain Oni-sama and father keep bowing to her every desire."
Sirzechs: "But she's so cute."
Dia: "I know, but it would be better if she didn't develop an annoying personality. So, it would be necessary to calm down and not spoil her too much."
Ajuka: "I'm sure you could talk for hours about how to raise your little sister, but I think you've forgotten the main purpose of this meeting—who will replace Cleria?"
Dia: "For now, I propose that I take over until the new generation is old enough to join high school because they are still too young. Do you have any objections?"
Sera: "If you choose Dia-chan, I have no objection."
The other three Satans also agreed with my proposal.
After this exhausting meeting, Sera and I decided to go home together, but we were surprised to see So-tan approaching us wearing fake glasses.
Before I knew it, Sera had already thrown herself at So-tan, exclaiming how cute she was.
Dia: "Sera-chan, let her breathe a little before you end up suffocating your own sister."
Once she let go, I took the opportunity to admire my wife's little sister.
Dia: "You're so cute! Just looking at you makes me feel like you're smarter than me."
She started to blush slightly because one of her dreams is to beat me at chess or other puzzle games.
Dia: "However, it's too obvious that these glasses are fake, so try these instead."
Rimuru appeared with a pair of glasses that looked completely real but were actually fake.
Sera: "Oh my god, So-tan is so cute! You've become a real nerd!"
It seemed that, because of these new glasses, Sera could no longer contain herself and began fawning over So-tan again—until I saved her at the last second.
Since that day, So-tan has had a slight aversion to Sera and still wears glasses.
