Chapter 39: Kingdom Building
"Are you finally going to deal with the problem I asked you to?" Ajuka Beezlebub asked, his tone slightly dry as he reclined in his chair. Next to him sat a large magic circle, which was conveying his voice to a place far away from his research room.
"I'll get to it when I get to it," An annoyed female voice answered back, and Ajuka sighed.
"If you don't do it quickly, I'll come do it myself," Ajuka replied, his voice even, though there was an underlying threat.
"That wasn't a part of the deal, devil!" The female voice hissed, the annoyance turning into slight anger, "Stay out of that part of the forest. If you want a damn familiar, just come here and get one! Are you seriously afraid of that little pup running around?"
"I'm not the one who wants a familiar," Ajuka stated calmly, still staring at the screen in front of him as he multitasked, "It's Sirzech's little sister."
"Then she can come get one," The female voice growled, "You made me let that annoying 'familiar master' stay here for a reason, didn't you? He can guide her!"
"Be reasonable, Tiamat," Ajuka answered sharply, "If something happens to Rias when she's there, you know what will happen to you, correct?"
The dragon didn't answer for a second, the magic circle being quiet. Then, finally, she let out a mixture of a groan and a sigh.
"Fine, fine... I'll deal with him now, alright? Send the girl over in a couple of days."

I felt a bit awkward as I overlooked the large graveyard in front of me, watching as Vargan and his three remaining generals - Baldrek, Thrain, and Skarn - all showed their respect for Rurik's grave.
