The reason is quite simple: Raphiel's parents are high-ranking officials in the Celestial Realm. They are busy in the morning and can only see Raphiel after they finish get off work in the evening. They will also be staying at Raphiel's house tonight.

"Then I'll take Dongjun and the others over there first," Vinette said with a smile, pointing towards the Demon Realm.

"Winter, remember to message me after you're done there, so I can come pick you up right away," Raphiel said with a smile.

"okay."

……

To enter the Heavenly Realm or the Demon Realm, one must pass through the Gate of the Heavenly Realm or the Gate of the Demon Realm; entering from any other place is tantamount to smuggling.

Not to mention that their defensive arrays would imprison or even kill you as an intruder, even if you were lucky enough to sneak in, you would be caught by law enforcement officers immediately.

According to Raphiel, no one has ever succeeded in the past thousand years. Most illegal immigrants have either been killed or captured and taken away to be used as laborers or research subjects.

The gate to the demon realm resembles an ancient city gate, its rustic and desolate appearance giving people a sense of oppression. However, once inside the passage, it is quite modern, not much different from the security checkpoints of subways and airplanes in the human world.

Tsuchimikado and his companions were not given any trouble by law enforcement officers because they had applied in advance. After their identities were verified, their photos were taken, and they signed a record, they were allowed to leave.

After passing through the Gates of Hell, they walked a few steps forward and came to a stone archway with candles emitting blue flames. Several crows flew over the archway, cawing loudly.

There was also a plaque lying casually on the ground next to it, which read "Come again next time".

To be honest, even Tsuchimikado Fuyu felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene; it was just too eerie.

Especially that signboard, who would want to come to hell for no reason!

For most people, coming here is tantamount to already dying, so why bother coming back again? Will they die again after being reborn?

Can't you wish others well?

Tsuchimikado Fuyu was internally screaming, while Kobayashi Keiko nervously clung to Kobayashi Tatsuya's arm, "Tatsuya..."

"It's alright." Although Kobayashi Ryuya was also very scared, his pride as a man forced him to pretend to be calm and he whispered a comforting message.

"Um... Uncle and Aunt, don't be afraid. This is how things are here. Actually, the Demon Realm is quite safe. There won't be any danger," Vinette explained somewhat awkwardly.

After all, the environment of the Demon Realm is what it is; no matter what you do, it can't be made into a paradise, right?

If you try to make it too cozy, it might actually make the environment seem even more terrifying.

So, it's better to leave it as it is!

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing." Kobayashi Ryu laughed it off and quickly said, "Um, Vinette-chan, let's go first."

"okay."

Passing through the stone archway, you come to a three-way intersection. The three roads pierce through the thick clouds, their destinations unknown. Several mountain peaks emerge from the clouds ahead, as if they were in the sky.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that feeling, since Heaven and Hell are indeed in the sky.

Vinette's house wasn't close to the Demon Gate, and because of the poor transportation, it took them about an hour to walk there.

However, because of the various wonders and unusual sights that people have never seen before, they don't feel the passage of time. Instead, they feel a little unsatisfied.

The strange plants, the various bizarre magical beasts, and even some peculiar monster girls, the lava river by the roadside, all broadened the horizons of Kobayashi Ryuya and his companions.

"There seem to be very few monsters here. Is it because this is a city?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked curiously.

"It's not entirely due to that reason. The Demon Realm consists of a main continent and surrounding island groups."

Our place is just an ordinary little island with only one city, surrounded by villages, and no monster forest where monsters live, so there are no monsters here.

Those monsters we just saw, they're either tourists or visiting friends.

"No wonder, why do monsters have to live in the monster forest? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to live in the city?"

I think it's not just because of factional differences. I remember Hades and Satan seemed to have a pretty good relationship.

"Yes, because they will grow up faster in the monster forest."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu talked a lot with Vinette and answered many of his questions. Because he had never actually been to the Demon World before, he only had a general understanding of it and was too lazy to ask about many things.

Now that he'd finally managed to come all this way, his curiosity was piqued, and he kept asking questions.

Kobayashi Ryuya and Kobayashi Keiko listened to their conversation with curiosity, occasionally asking a few questions, and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Soon, everyone arrived at Winette's house.

Vinette's house is a very ordinary farmhouse. The house looks old and dilapidated, but that's not because they haven't maintained it; it's just the style of the place.

Not to mention houses in the countryside, even houses in the city have the same style. Especially when walking on streets with few people, people who don't know the area might think it's some kind of ancient ruin.

At this moment, at the entrance of her yard, a middle-aged woman with purple hair and a middle-aged man with plump blue hair were standing at the door waiting. Beside them sat a huge, dog-like beast with devil horns and a tail that spewed fire.

“Mom and Dad, we’re back!” Winette called out as soon as she saw them. “This is my boyfriend, Tsuchimikado Fuyu, and these two are his uncle and aunt, as well as Kobayashi Ryuya and Kobayashi Keiko.”

“Welcome back, Winette,” her mother said with a smile. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Kobayashi, thank you for coming.”

I am Vinette's mother, Ancia. This is my husband, Focas. (Original creation, sourced from Anducia and Focas.)

"Hello," Winette's father said quickly, wiping the sweat from his brow.

Hello, hello.

Chapter 1487 Ancia's Test

At April's house, everyone sat on the sofa. On the coffee table were the gifts brought by Tsuchimikado Fuyu and his group, and next to them lay their giant pet, Chabi.

They didn't immediately talk about marriage. Instead, they chatted and laughed about Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Winette's childhood, making the two of them a little embarrassed.

After a long pause, Ancia finally spoke up: "In principle, we respect Winette's opinion. As long as she is willing, we will naturally not refuse the marriage."

"But is it really true that no dowry is needed? It's really a waste for such a sweet and obedient girl like Winette to marry this fool of ours."

“It’s alright. As long as he’s capable, we have no objection to him marrying multiple wives,” Ansia said earnestly. “However, as you know, we only have one daughter, and we definitely want her to have a happy and fulfilling future.”

So, let me make this clear from the start: if she suffers any injustice, we won't stand idly by! Although my abilities aren't much, I'll still make you pay the price!

As Ansia spoke, a powerful pressure suddenly erupted from her, her whole body radiating a dark and eerie aura, as if a demon had appeared in the world.

Of course, her oppressive aura was only directed at Tsuchimikado Fuyu, so although Kobayashi Ryuya and the others were a little curious as to why she suddenly "was emitting smoke," they were not afraid.

On the contrary, Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who was the person involved, was also slightly surprised. Goodness, this mother-in-law is quite powerful!

Judging from her aura alone, her strength is already about the same as Remilia's.

Moreover, this might not even be their full strength!

Is this the power of the great demon of the demon realm? He's got some skills after all!

That's right, Vinette's mother is the great demon that Satania has always wanted to become.

Although there aren't many high-ranking demons in the Demon Realm, their population base is still considerable. In total, they are actually slightly more numerous than the high-ranking demons of the Demon Realm, but only slightly, and the difference isn't that significant.

After all, the Great Demon is already considered a high-ranking member of the demon realm; above them are the Demon Kings, second only to Satan and Hades.

However, according to Vinette, the title of Demon King is just that. Their strength is still essentially at the level of a Great Demon, only slightly stronger than an ordinary Great Demon.

Simply put, it's the difference between Gael and ordinary high-ranking angels. They are both high-ranking angels, but Gael can kill the other with a single finger.

As for Satan and Hades, they are beings on a higher level, after all, they are the rulers of a great world.

"Honey, turn off the heat, turn off the heat, don't scare him. I still trust Dongjun, and Winette always praises him!" Focas quickly advised.

"Oh my! Honey, Xiaodong's strength isn't as weak as you think." Ansia's aura suddenly disappeared, and a gentle smile reappeared on her face, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"Mom, don't bully Fuyu!" Winette also spoke up for Tsuchimikado Fuyu, saying, "He's very good to me."

Ancia said with a smile, "I didn't expect Winette to like Dong-kun so much. It seems I was overthinking it. I'm sorry, Dong-kun."

"E... It's okay, Auntie, you're just concerned about Vigna, I understand."

And please rest assured, although I cannot guarantee that I will be devoted to Vinnie wholeheartedly, my love for her will certainly not be less than my love for anyone else.

After all, he's already built a harem. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't say things like "wholeheartedly devoted" to her. That would be too shameless.

“I believe in Dong-kun,” Ansia said with a smile.

So, after gaining Ansia's approval, the atmosphere at home became cheerful again, and the day ended well for both host and guests.

During the conversation, Tsuchimikado Fuyu finally understood why polygamy was allowed in the Demon World, but Vinette's father didn't have that idea.

The reason is simple: the woman is stronger than the man, and Vinette's father is not powerful enough!

Ansia is a typical great demon, not particularly powerful. She usually just guards this small island and is practically retired.

But Focas was far inferior; he was merely a peak Lesser Demon, and perhaps due to his aptitude, he had no hope of breaking through to the Greater Demon realm.

Fortunately, Ansia is truly devoted to Focas, supposedly because Focas risked his life to save her when they were children.

But whatever the reason, a harmonious family and a happy marriage are enough. They just want to be ordinary demons and enjoy their ordinary daily lives happily.

At Ansia's invitation, everyone enjoyed the lunch she had prepared, a local specialty from Hell. Although the taste wasn't too different from that in the human world, the unique ingredients from the demon realm gave it a special flavor.

Well, it's not the weird fish that Satania used to get in cooking class. The ingredients are just a little different from those in the human world, but they're all normal, and there's nothing culinary disaster about them.

After lunch, Tsuchimikado and the others didn't stay long. After chatting for a few minutes, Winette took them to the fork in the road with the sign.

They waited at the intersection for two or three minutes, and Raphiel arrived. Led by her, they headed towards the Gate of Heaven.

The Gate to Heaven is far more beautiful than the Gate to the Demon Realm. From the outside, it resembles a typical Western cathedral, but once you step inside…

Well, apart from the addition of a security checkpoint, the interior decoration is no different from that of a church.

"Welcome back. This is the Celestial Baggage Security Checkpoint." A young man in a suit, with an angelic halo above his head, took out four files, carefully compared them with the photos, and said with a smile:

"All confirmed. Welcome back, Bai Yu, as well as Mr. Tsuchimikado, Mr. Kobayashi, and Ms. Kobayashi. Welcome to our celestial realm. We hope you have a pleasant journey."

"Thank you," said Keiko Kobayashi, bowing slightly.

"However, before that, let me confirm, Mr. Tsuchimikado, do you possess spatial abilities?"

"Well, you could say that, but I guess so." Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Raphiel with a puzzled expression, but she shook her head, indicating that she hadn't said it herself.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't suspect that Raphiel was lying to him; there was nothing to hide. He was just curious about who had told the security personnel.

If it's not Raphiel... could it be that old geezer God?

"In that case, please wear this bracelet."

"This is?"

"It is a spatial fluctuation detection device. Although we believe that as Bai Yu's fiancé, you should not have any bad intentions towards the Celestial Realm, we are afraid that something unexpected might happen, so please do not use your spatial abilities in the Celestial Realm."
