Chapter 126: Meeting Riser And Ravel? by Harem-Fan

     It's now early in the morning in the Underworld, and the fake moon is gone...

     Splash Splash~! Venelana and I are taking turns cleaning one another before we crawl into the hot springs to refresh ourselves for the long day.

     Needless to say we didn't sleep.

     We through the night expressed many thoughts and what the both of us will be to one another going forward.

     In conclusion... Venelana will be my Mistress with Rias as the main Wife.

     If the day comes that we have a child, then Venelana will marry me quietly.

     In public we will continue to be Mother-in-law and Son-in-law.

     However we won't hide the fact that Venelana is my lover if discovered.

     Venelana says that it will be best to wait till Rias and I are married, which will be fast tracked, and then just admit to me taking her forcefully while she was vulnerable.

     This happens in many noble Devil homes after all, because the number of pure-blooded Devils is in decline... for now.

     Many young nobles will secretly claim their biological Mothers when their Fathers die in battle. (Devils don't have Human birth issues, only stronger or weaker bloodlines)

     This is just the dirty open-secret of pure-blood Devils, well many medieval Human nobles practiced this as well.

-

     After our romantic bath, Grace and Grayfia attended to us, and we then had breakfast...

     Both Sakura and Coriana, now dressed in office-lady hip-skirt suits instead of maid outfits, joined us so we can confirm today's plans.

     Coriana says while reading from her day-planner.

     "Tannin confirmed he shall arrive in the fields to the west in about an hour's time, with a few of his clan to bring everything you asked for. Also once every hour as you asked, I have scheduled a tour of the top 6 crop fields of the territory, including coffee and tea fields..."

"All fertilizers you asked for have already been delivered to each plot of farmland as well!"

     She then handed the document to me with an itinerary for the day, then she handed me another...

     "The second schedule is the Welcoming Ball held in your honor tonight! It will begin at moon-rise and almost every noble family invited has confirmed their invitations."

     Coriana stood there with her hands in front of her belly, with her red eyes screaming for praise.

     Venelana smiles at Coriana and says truthfully.

     "Great detail Coriana, it seems Matsuda knows how to find great talents like Rias."

     Coriana just blushes at her compliment.

     I looked at Grayfia and asked my lover.

     "What role will you attend this function as, Wife, maid, or Queen?"

     Grayfia bows her head slightly and says.

     "I will be going as your Queen and personal attendant. I would strongly suggest taking Duchess Venelana as your plus-one."

     So I turned to my side, smiled at Venelana with playfulness in my eyes and asked.

     "Mother, will you kindly escort this novice Gremory into the battlefield of nobility?! Also it has been a while since the both of us have danced together?"

     Yes it was Venelana that gave me all of my lessons on how to be a noble, and I had many awkward dance lessons with her in the past.

     Well, because I was extra nervous back then when I was denying my milf feelings for her.

    Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought we would become a romantic pair!

     She counters my playfulness with a light kick to my leg but says teasingly.

     "I suppose this old woman can escort her Son to the ball."

     She is actually happy with my teasing.

     Devils are a creature of desire, and they love obtaining it as well as granting it for a price.

     Last night in bed when I asked how old she was, she gave me dangerous eyes as her dark aura raised a tiny bit, and only said...

     "Matsuda my Dear, I am over 1000 years old, but much younger than Benemue, Ufufu~!"

     Yeah, my Sacred Gear told me to never ask her what her age was even on birthdays from now on, yikes!

-

     An hour later...

     Grace is handling the evening's Ball affairs.

     Coriana, Sakura, Grayfia, Venelana, and I are greeting my old camping friend Tannin and his group.

     We met on the edge of a massive empty field...

     Tannin, clearly happy to see me, said...

     [Alright kid let's see what you were bragging about! I brought seeds, apples, fertilizers for the fruit, and seedlings for you to use.]

     I use my powers to sense all of the crates, and have decided the best course of action here.

     I tell everyone, as I entered Satan Gold form...

     [Please all of you go stand by the limo, thanks. I need lots of room!]

     I then activate my Second Stage ability for the hour...

     Fwoosh Creak Creak~! I combine both my earth and plant Senjutsu powers, to cause a vegetation genesis to happen in front of the slack-jawed crowd.

     As the earth swallowed most of the crates and seeds, 500 massive Dragon shaped and sized apple-trees sprang from the earth.

     All of them looked majestic and fertile, full of ripened Dragon apples!

     I was surprised the trees grew to look like western Dragons in shape, and thus the name of Dragon Apples!

     Lastly, I then pick up the stray sprouts in a large tray, and use the last of my time to modify the saplings, to survive in the Human world's current climate!

     Then I handed the stronger sprouts to Tannin and said, while leaving Satan Gold mode.

     "Find a lush valley in a region, like Japan or Ireland, in the Human world and these plants will grow there as well, in case something happens with the Underworld's climate, and don't thank me, we are friends! In the future I will go to your territory and recreate this on a larger scale!"

      Tannin just looks at me with complicated draconic eyes and knows I want nothing from him.

     With smiling eyes he just laughs a loud and happy laugh.

     [Hahahaha~! No wonder that Dragon would follow you... Good!]

     All the Dragons Tannin brought with, then harvested this batch of fruits.

     Apparently what I grew just now is a full year's supply of the fruit.

     As we parted with Tannin he just told me.

     [Young Matsuda, we Dragons are eternally grateful for your help. Always call upon us and we will come to your aid!]

     Seeing the Dragon-flight leaving, Venelana whispered in my ear...

     "What you just did with the Dragons, and the harvest, confirms that I made the right choice in you. Our Gremory family will have a bright future in the Underworld... Good work."

     My group then left the fields to go to the next crop modification process...

-

     I repeated this many times, making the land incredibly lush and forcing the crops to spit out 5 years of produce in this one day alone...

     I made sure to improve the genetics of all the crops for better flavors and suitability, according to what Venelana suggested.

     The land had all the nourishment shoved into it, and harmful elements removed, thanks to earth powers.

     So even without my gimmicks, the crops will be lush for the next few years.

     If I did nothing but crop magic, I could single-handedly feed the entire Underworld with no real effort, but...

     Things obtained easily and without payment of some kind, will not help others but hurt.

     The payment doesn't have to be high, but free is bad for Devils.

-

     All of my women in the limo were amazed, but not devastated by my actions...

     But after the first meeting with Tannin, both Venelana and Sakura just looked utterly terrified by my actions today.

     I held poor Venelana's hand and said with a punchable smile.

     "I told you I would take care of everything, right?!"

     She calmed and smiled while squeezing my hand back in happiness.

     Sakura just sputters the myriad thoughts in her heart.

     "How? I mean, how can you do all of that?! The power you have will shake the economic world!"

     She is giving a look that thinks I'm an earth god.

     I decide to fuck with this cute woman and say the way Big G would...

     "Multiplying bread and wine is kinda my thing!"

     ""Pfft~!""

     Grayfia and Coriana both try to hold in their giggles knowing my background, and poor Sakura is out of the loop for my joke that is both funny and true.

     Venelana just scolds me a bit for teasing her Bishop, and says.

     "Mat, don't be bad... Sakura, I think you aren't aware of my Son's background here."

     She had handed her Bishop a file on me, at least one that all noble houses have on me.

     Venelana is worse than me, because in about 3 seconds...

      With an open mouth and surprise in her eyes, she looked at me and asked me the most common question...

     "Why did you become a Devil?!"

     Sakura, being a former Human from Tokyo Japan, born in 1954, became Venelana's Bishop in 1974, and is aware of my past.

     So she just had to ask the obvious question, like I only had one choice in life.

     I looked into her eyes and calmly responded while pointing to the beauties in the limo...

     "Just look around you in this car! I became a Devil to be with the women I love... My reason is simple."

     All 3 Devil women just smile at Sakura's befuddled look.

     Then she noticed her King's smile while holding my hand in her lap, and was shocked at that confirmation.

     Sakura just shuts up the rest of the trip in hopes she won't be silenced for knowing too much... of course this is all in her own head!

-

     Shortly before the red moon rises...

     So we freshen up, and get dressed for the ball.

     Venelana wore a shiny sparkly Devils dinner-dress... (The one she wears in this next NovelBin only image)

     I wore a matching colored nobles suit in true Underworld style, with a crimson tie, and on my chest breast is the Gremory house seal.

     Sakura and Coriana wore black and crimson dressing respectively, both contrasting their appearances to one another.

     Finally both Grace and Grayfia just went in the Gremory maids attire.

     There is no secret that the Kuoh Academy uniforms were actually loosely modeled after the Gremory maids outfits, as Rias liked them.

-

     Entering my territory's Sirzechs Hotel, we made our way to the Welcoming Ball...

     A voluptuous black-haired half Japanese Mixed Heritage Devil, named Karen, guided us to the event.

     Unknown to me at this time, this Karen would be temporarily transferred to host Rias and my wedding in Tokyo soon by her friend Sakura.

-

     As the guest of honor, Venelana made me show up late, even though I hate being late for anything!

     Of course this is how nobles do things.

     Many of the Devils that came tonight are actually going to be healed by me in the next few days, but they came to get to know me.

     Every noble house sent at least a branch family member to attend for respect.

     The news of my pure-blood status actually shocked the nobility harder than my healing abilities.

     Now all the nobles that had shunned me for my Human birth, were crawling over-themselves to get into my good graces.

     Ever since Devil King Beelzebub confirmed my pure-blood status, and sent all of the tests to the nobility, I became popular!

     Also the fact that I'm of 1st generation bloodline in power and ability, makes me desirable as a partner. (Just like Venelana, cough)

     Sadly this meant the awkward meeting happening in front of me right now...

     Yes the Devils standing in front of me are... Riser and Ravel Phenex.

     Riser's full Peerage stands behind them...

     (FYI Both Riser and Matsuda are the same height.)

     Apparently his Phenex family traded many of my healing vouchers for many Phoenix Tears (other Devils, not the Gremory), so he could heal a few of his girl's previous injuries.

     But the mood is awkward.

     For some reason, Venelana and Rias told me to take his couple vouchers, and heal his full Peerage instead.

     Ravel breaks the tension and says.

     "Greetings Lord Gremory, thank you for having us and performing your healing for our family servants."

     Damn I only have Grayfia at my side, because Venelana saw them a mile away and went to greet some random noble...

     Damn I have to learn Noble Ninja Vanish from her!

     "Lord and Lady Phenex it's a pleasure to have you here for both my welcome party and to treat your family! After all, Gremory and the Phenex have a close relationship."

     No need to be a dick when I ended up winning, right?

    And honestly, if someone challenged me for either Rias or Sona right now in a Rating Game, I would be a pissed motherfucker... oh, that last thought was too soon!

     Ravel looked very uncomfortable, but said her thoughts, while fidgeting...

     "My Father and I are very sorry for what happened to Duke Zeoticus Gremory, we had no idea he was supposed to stay home that day!"

     For the first time I feel that she isn't being a pompous ass, and is just being a young girl that feels guilty.

     Mofu~! I smile and without messing her hair up, pat the top of her head and say to them both...

     "Tell your Father and yourself to not feel guilty. My Father took full responsibility for his choice! In fact not a single Gremory blames you guys for anything!"

     Ravel's teary blue eyes look shocked, and her Brother asks.

     "Riser wants... No, I want to know how you know this?"

     Oh~fuck, he is dropping the 3rd person shit with me!

     I smile and let my Sacred Gear appear on my eyes, and point to the Eyes of Creation...

     "Before his soul fully left this world, Rias and I were able to have a few words with him, and he told me he knowingly went without telling us. So just know he doesn't blame you or your Father for anything. But I on behalf of all the Gremory, thank you for your forthright wishes!"

     Riser then smirks and says to me.

     "Seems I miss-judged you Lord Gremory... Congratulations on your impressive feats of late!"

     I think he is self justifying his loss to a pure-blood now instead of a Reincarnated Devil, and he seems to be happy about this so he can move on.

     Meh, I wasn't trying to help! (Tsundere Matsuda)

     Then the absolute worst thing was said...

     Ravel with a smile asks with a curtsy.

     "Lord Gremory, may I have this dance?"

     No you pompous chick that can't read the room!

     "It would be my pleasure, Lady Phenex."

     Crap this chick better not be getting ideas!

     Grayfia just pretends I'm not in crisis and does nothing?

-

     So I'm currently cutting the ballroom rug with this chicken wing...

     (Despite Mat's inner thoughts about Ravel, he is very attracted to her, but can't admit it, because of the anime clouding his opinion of her)

     I saw Venelana standing next to Grayfia, with her hand over her mouth giggling at my look!

     Oh-baby it's on tonight, I will give you the Rias doggy-style treatment!

     This Great Me won't be gentle!

     "Your dancing skills seem to be very well developed, like you have been doing it for hundreds of years!"

     Ravel is upping her stupid reputation meter of me, all on her own!

     How do I stop this before I am maxed out?

     I know!

     "Actually, there is a Devil that is going to become a noble high class noble in no time, his name is Issei Hyoudou, and he will make a Peerage of his own! Perhaps I should introduce you two? He just joined Rias's Peerage and he will need a Bishop!"

     Ravel rolls her Loli blue eyes and says with her cocky noble-lady tone.

     "Oh~please, not in a million years! Let alone his status, but the fact he is a Breast Dragon pervert through and through! I would never be caught dead with a King like that!"

     What the fuck?!

     Did she not fall for him in the anime?

     Why does she not like him now? (Because some dense asshole took the role of a Hero in Ravel's heart)

     Ravel, seeing my look, just smiles with mischief and asks me something that made my spine tingle...

     "Oh? Did Lady Rias not tell you?"

     My Sacred Gear is warning me of nonlethal danger.

     She just proudly puffs out her beautiful Loli chest, and sucker-punches my brain, telling me the surprise Rias had warned me about...

     "Two days ago Rias with her open Bishop Piece traded to my Mother, and I'm now her new Bishop! Rias traded to my Brother for Xuelan, since Rias said she needs to fill her team, due to you taking most of her members!"

"It seems Xuelan was traded as a bet between my Mother and Duchess Venelana over your Sitri and Gremory match, for Rias's team. It seemed you told Duchess Gremory Xuelan was an excellent Rook, so the deal was made."

"But my Mother added me as a conditional deal, and I became part of the wager along with Xuelan, as a package trade. Rias traded, and wanted to surprise you with our arrival to the Gremory family, fufu."

     My brain can't understand what I just learned, but what I do know is... all my women are looking in other-directions pretending to not see my face...

     Damn Rias, you're a Devil!

     When I looked at Riser's group, I saw him shrugging.

     Xuelan just bows in my direction, and awkwardly smiles at my look!

     Both Ravel and Xuelan apparently have been staying in the VIP rooms of this hotel after Rias traded for them, for the surprise...

     Ravel then kills me with...

     "And my King told me to tell you to bring the both of us back when you return home!"

     Don't fucking cutesy smile at me, Ravel!
