Editing Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha:Volume 8 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 6===
The aim — to search for a new dream house in which lewd acts and training can be done without worry. However,

“I’m sorry, at present we do not have any properties which satisfy your desired requirements…”

The conditions that Basara and the others wanted primarily was a house similar to the one they had now, but with a larger size as they wanted to reduce the risk of other people getting involved in case anything happened. And Maria wished for a house where one room could be allocated to each person, and a bathroom and bathtub that was big enough for everyone to be in. But

“Because you have already taken a look at the property listings on the net, you should probably understand…it will probably be difficult to find even for the other agencies.”

“N-No—…”

Maria let out a disappointed voice in response to the agent’s reasoning. —Currently, the Toujou family was a large household. Even if they didn’t consider Jin for the moment, and they looked for another house in which they could allocate individual rooms to each of the six people, a 6LDK layout was necessary. But — there were none within walking distance of Hijirigasaka Academy, and even if they extended the range to the area where a bus journey would be feasible, there were no rental houses which had a 6LDK layout. For houses in this area, a general layout of 4LDK was most common, followed by 3LDK and 5LDK. However, once they went up to 6LDK, the number of properties available drastically decreased.

''…Surely, this must be the influence of the declining birth-rate in this place….'' 

Apparently the situation in this country was more serious than had been imagined. Being confronted by reality, Maria began to wonder just how severe the issue was.

“Now now, there’s no need to feel so down, Maria…”

Basara said as he put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. Beside him, Mio

“Is that so…5LDK is fine, if you want your own room that much then you can have your own room, and with the bath you just have to be patient—”

“That’s no good then!”

Mio misunderstood her intentions — no, Maria misunderstood as she cried out unexpectedly

“Maria…?”

In response to the exaggerated response that she had shown, both Basara and Mio looked at her strangely.

“…Sorry, I raised my voice.”

Maria apologised for having become emotional. —She herself didn’t care about anything like privacy. When Maria spoke about the necessity of individual rooms, she had Mio and the others in mind.

''…Because.''

In order for Basara to advance even further with Mio and the others, it was definitely better if they could spend time alone in a single room. If such an environment was created, there was a possibility that corresponding feelings could be forged, and beyond that…they would be able to do things that would otherwise be impossible in a shared room. Things that they could not do because they were currently too embarrassed to without a room of their own. Now that Basara had allowed all of them to recall the taste of intense pleasure, Mio and the others had begun developing sexually and they now knew what the pleasure of being a woman was. Therefore…sooner or later, if they didn’t have some ‘alone time’, Mio and the others would begin to feel frustrated! Feeling hot and flushed as they quietly thought to themselves about Basara…there would be some nights like that. And — if they had the environment which could make it possible, Mio and the others would grow to become even lewder adults.

''…With something like this, unless I carefully ….'' 

Naruse Maria thought of it as a mission for herself in a sense. She was the only one who could help them in that regard. Delicious food came from the sum of its ingredients, and was a path to the heart. The situation Maria faced was that the ‘alone time’ of Mio and the others was meant for masturbation. Nonetheless, this wasn’t just to satisfy the instincts and aspirations of Maria as a succubus. Of course, it wasn’t as though she had absolutely no desires at all either

''…I’m not at the point where I can stop yet.''

Indeed — even though the immediate problem in the Demon Realm had been solved, not all of the risks were mitigated. Besides the Moderates faction and the Current Demon Lord faction, there were still various other forces in the Demon Realm. Some of them might not be comfortable with the alliance between the Moderates faction and the Current Demon Lord faction which was currently progressing. Ramsas and Leohart had said that they would be discussing things with the other factions quietly as well.

''…To settle all of the issues, we still need more time.'' 

Since the battle with the Current Demon Lord faction was over, Mio had finally been released from the political reaches and fate of the Demon Realm, but it was still possible that the other factions would aim at the key positions of the Moderates faction and Current Demon Lord faction, as well as those related to them. Given such circumstances, there was still a limit to how far they could take things since it was necessary to avoid the risks that could arise from crossing over the final line. But even so — if they weren’t satisfied with the amount of strength that they had now, there was still room for them to grow. If they were unsatisfied with the current situation, they simply have to seek a more greedy approach.

''…Even if Zest-san is superior to me in overall housework.'' 

Basara as well as Mio and the others — everyone in the Toujou residence shared the feeling of not wanting to lose. Therefore, Naruse Maria didn’t want to simply move to a house with more rooms. Aside from the number of rooms, a large bath that was big enough for all six of them was also essential so that they could further enrich their naked relationships from now on. Just as Maria held this secret ambition within her mind

“—In that case, what about the property that we can purchase?”

Zest, who had kept quiet up until now quietly made such a proposal. 

“Purchase…you mean to buy a house?”

Mio questioned the meaning of what Zest had said

“T-That is also an option…”

Maria’s expression brightened up again — however,

“Yes. If we disregard those for lease, we may be able to expand the range of properties available…and I have a considerable margin in terms of funding.”

Zest said.

“………”

Soon after that, Maria’s expression clouded and she hung her head down.

''…Maria…?''

Not only Mio, but also Basara and Zest seemed to notice the strange way in which Maria was acting. As all three of them began to look at her with worried expressions

“—If that is the case, our agency can also provide some advice!”

 The agent seemed to pick that up and sprung onto the business opportunity without reading the atmosphere.

“If you don’t have a budget to worry about, there are certainly some properties which are 6LDK or more…for example, how about this place?”

After saying that, they presented them with a tablet PC.

“Huh…umm — err?”

Mio froze up as he shifted her gaze from Mio to the tablet screen. It was because she saw the property which was being displayed on it. However, the person in charge ignored Mio’s expression as they continued

“The site area is 100 tsubo<ref>Tsubo: A traditional Japanese unit of measurement that would be roughly equivalent to 3.3 sqm or 36 sqft.</ref>, and the living space is 120 tsubo with a 9LDK layout. If it’s here, then I think it’ll be more than enough room even for six people.”

“The price is a hundred million yen…that’s quite affordable.”

In response to the agents words, Zest began to nod, and thus

“No no no, wait a second Zest.”

Basara quickly waved his hands in a panic as he tried to stop her.

“Hmm? I’ve already told you how much money is in the account. If it’s this much, then I don’t think it’s a problem.”

“No, that may be the case, but…”

“…That’s not the issue.”

Although Zest simply stood there with a vacant expression, Mio and Basara were both lost for words. Certainly, the amount of money in Zest’s account that she had received from the Moderates faction had three more digits than the property that Mio and the others were looking it. That money was meant to be remuneration for Mio and the others, so it was actually meant to be divided up between six people, but even so, it was a ridiculous sum of money. It would be easy to purchase a vast block of land and build a mansion upon it with that much. …But, if they started to live with such a large amount of money, that would make them diverge away from the ordinary daily life that they wanted. Zest was not to blame given that she had been through Zolgear’s mansion, Wildart Castle and Lundvall Castle in the Demon Realm. She was probably just thinking about Basara, and about serving Mio who had been born as a member of the royal family, so that they could live in a house without any inconveniences.

''…We’ll have to teach her about the common sense of monetary values here.''

Since they would be living together, it was only natural that they should teach Zest about common knowledge in this world. Therefore

“Umm, excuse us…”

Mio and the others left the real estate agency after letting the agent know that they would consider it after returning home for the time being.
