Chapter 3 - Training and teasing

After arriving at the Bael Clan, many things happened.

Venelana talked to Lord Bael, her half-brother and had decided to stay at a big estate at the edge of the main territory.

And the four of them lived quite the quiet life, Sirius finally started slowly controlling the three cores bit by bit.

However, this would take a long while. His body just couldn't handle it despite his physique being of a Dragon in human form....

Sirius could be seen on the training field, fighting against a golem emitting a heavy demonic aura.

Multiple golems already laid in pieces around them and Sirius was breathing heavily as he avoided the golem's attack with millimeters to spare.

The golem held a sword and slashed towards Sirius' waist to which Sirius leaned backwards, nimbly avoiding the sword and kicked his right feet upwards with all his power to disarm the golem.

As the golem lost its sword, its fist was already on its way towards Sirius' head who had already launched his own fist.

*BOOM*

The two fists clashed and a heavy earthquake appeared around them which caused the ground to crack and shockwaves to appear.

Sirius took his fist back as the golem fell apart, he gave a crazed smile as he wiped the blood and sweat of his body.

His body had received multiple wounds from fighting these golems, after all, all these golems were Above-Average High-Class Devils!

He fought 20 of them by himself and still won.

"Finally, nearly dying so many times paid off" Sirius smiled as he clenched his bloody fist.

"Yes it did, it only caused 94 heart attacks and 106 moments of wanting to beat you up!"

Sirius pulled his head back out of reflex and a fist flew past his face, he quickly turned his body and put his arms around the person who threw the fist.

"Grayfia! Are you trying to kill me?!" Sirius yelled in horror as he felt rocks shattering next to the arena.

"I think you would rather have me do it than stupid golems!" Grayfia said as she put her arms around Sirius' neck and put her legs around his waist before pulling him to the ground and tried to strangle him.

Neither of them used demonic energy and only used their physical strength, Grayfia hated to admit it but without demonic strength, she couldn't beat him.

Sirius merely enjoyed the sensation of having her small body pressed against his for a few minutes.

After a few minutes, Sirius turned both of them around so he laid on his back and while Grayfia finally sighed and just sat on his toned stomach while Sirius just laid there and stared at her with a smirk on his face,

"If only I could use demonic energy in our scuffles"

"You sure have become more aggressive over the last few years here" Sirius grinned as he looked at the woman sitting on top of him.

She had a mischievous grin on her face while wearing her signature maid outfit and replied,

"My main ability was sealed, which is also why my Demonic Nature was suppressed. Not to your liking?"

"I love it, you look happier. You smile now, genuine smiles" Sirius said as he stroked her hair which made her laugh without restraint with tears of laughter streaming down her face.

"One day, I will beat you in a physical fight too" Grayfia said as she wiped the tears away.

"Ara~ Ara~…. Rias, isn't that your brother's wife?" A beautiful soft voice sounded through the arena, not even trying to hide their presence.

Grayfia sprung up with a red face and looked at the origin of the voice.

Rias and two girls of similar age stood next to her.

One of them was called Seekvaira Agares, a childhood friend of Rias. Seekvaira is a beautiful young woman in her late teens with long, pale greenish blonde hair, long slit pink eyes, and glasses that give off an impression of being cold rather than cool.

She wears clothes that are very fitting for female nobles that have a flashy design to them, with accessories that has the Agares seal on them. Instead of a dress, she wears a miniskirt and high boots which are matched by her posh clothing.

The other girl was called Akeno Himejima, A girl that that Rias picked up for her peerage. Akeno is a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair is usually tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place.

"As far as I know, they are indeed still legally married Akeno...." Seekvaira adjusted her glassed with a straight face but couldn't hide the small smile on her face.

"Sis, can you two stop flirting in public all the time? It's been going around the whole Underworld already" Rias said with a red face.

"F...flirting?! We're fighting!" Grayfia said with a red face which made the three look at her with a skeptical expression but Sirius' voice suddenly cut in as if a lightbulb just lighted up on top of his head,

"Wait.... So it's fine in private?"

"Pff...." Rias couldn't help but turn around and laugh while Akeno commented with, "How daring..." and Seekvaira just gave a nod as if agreeing with him.

Meanwhile, Grayfia just looked at Sirius with an open mouth as if she was betrayed.

"What? Would you miss openly flirting that much?" Sirius asked in 'confusion'.

"You little brat!" Grayfia punched towards Sirius which forced him to avoid since there was a massive amount of demonic energy attached to her fist.

*BOOM*

"Are you trying to kill me?! I'm still a virgin, okay?! I don't want to die alone!" Sirius disappeared and appeared behind the three girls.

"Brother! Don't use us as a shield!" Rias squealed and hid behind Sirius' back while the other two just stared at Rias' 'fear', she was tightly holding him so tightly as if she was scared of everything around her.

"Don't hide behind girls Sirius! Are you even a man!" Grayfia provoked Sirius whose corner of his mouth twitched.

"You know, if you want me to proof that I'm a man. I won't do that in a fight in an arena but in bed. If you still don't mind, let's go" Sirius shrugged and said which made the girls and woman blush in embarrassment.

"You little perverted brat" Grayfia said with a red face.

"Little? I beg to differ, but you're just too much of a coward to find out" Sirius shrug his shoulders while the other three girls were just standing there as if they were at a movie.

"I swear, I want to record this" Akeno said with a flushed face and a grin on her face.

"No thank you" Rias pouted.

"No need to be jealous Rias, nobody is taking your big brother away. Having multiple wives is still normal in the Underworld." Seekvaira said as she patted Rias' shoulders with a cool expression.

"W...what?!" Rias screamed before whispering, "But he is my brother..."

"Oh come on, who cares. Weirder stuff has happened, nobody will look up from it" Seekvaira shrugged while Akeno nodded and looked back at the Sirius and Grayfia.

Grayfia stood extremely close to Sirius while looking up, after all, in three years' time he had reached 183 centimeters (6ft) while Grayfia still stood at her previous height.

"Listen Sirius, if people hear that kind of joke, they will spread it and you will have trouble finding a wife after it gets spread that you slept of someone of my age!" Grayfia pointed her finger at Sirius' chin who merely smiled at her antics.

"Mmm? Mom?" Sirius suddenly looked at to his right where the door of their estate was which caused all four of them to look aside.

As Grayfia turned around, Sirius suddenly leaned forward and gave her a kiss on her cheek before disappearing and leaving the stunned woman alone.

"You saw that?" Akeno asked Seekvaira

"I certainly did" Akeno grinned

"How cute" Seekvaira smiled

"You wish that was you though" Akeno gave an even wider grin as she turned towards Seekvaira who had a small blush on her face and looked back at Akeno before replying,

"You're no different"

"True, but I'd rather sleep in his bed too. Like Rias tried last night but his door was locked" Akeno said but quickly covered her mouth with a 'whoops'.

Seekvaira and Grayfia looked at Rias with an open mouth and couldn't believe what they just heard while Rias looked at Akeno with a red face and said,

"You're such a little traitorous bitch sometimes Akeno...."

"Hehehe, I know~"
