Chapter 20: A... Harem?
"Is the issue still not resolved, Ajuka?" Sirzechs sighed, staring at his longtime friend, who also happened to be one of the strongest devils alive and a fellow Maou.
"No," Ajuka answered simply, not looking back at him as his fingers tapped away on a keyboard, the man too engrossed in his 'work' to spare Sirzechs the time of day.
"Ria-tan wants a familiar! What's taking so long?" Sirzechs whined, the Super-devil looking more like a child whose favorite toy was taken away.
"Tiamat is lazy," Ajuka stated as if that explained everything.
"Fine! If she won't deal with it, then I will!" Sirzechs shouted decisively, "I won't make Ria-tan wait any longer!"
"No you won't," Ajuka shot him down instantly, still not looking away from his screen, "It's already hard enough to get Tiamat to do anything. Don't piss her off."
"B-But... Ria-tan..." Sirzechs whined again.
"She can wait a few more weeks," Ajuka shot him down again, "Tiamat will deal with it soon."
"Ah... if you say so..." Sirzechs groaned.
