EPHS-Chapter 490 Go on a Date

"I see..."

After hearing Göndul's words, Rias and her girls suddenly understood. Their gazes toward Tenraku softened, but inwardly, Tenraku wiped off a cold sweat.

Indeed, she was cunning. In just a few words, she set a trap for him. Fortunately, his feelings for Rias and the others were genuine; otherwise, he would be in trouble today.

"Rossweisse, how long have you two been dating?" Göndul asked her granddaughter with her head lowered.

"T-Three months," Rossweisse replied, feeling somewhat guilty.

"It's been three months, and you haven't even... been intimate? Most girls your age have already become women. You're really falling behind!" Göndul exclaimed incredulously, causing Rias and her girls to blush furiously.

To be able to see that most of the girls here had already become women at a glance, this old lady's eyes must be venomous! And is it really okay to talk about such things like this?

"W-Well, we haven't married yet..."

"Besides, I have these conservative values because of you, Grandma!" Rossweisse exclaimed, feeling embarrassed.

"I didn't mean for you to refrain from intimacy until marriage. I just wanted you to be cautious and not let those scoundrel men take advantage of you. Once you meet a good man, you should seize the opportunity. Look, others know how to act fast. You're really falling behind!" Göndul scolded.

"H-How was I supposed to know that's what you meant?!"

"So you're just dense. As long as you find a good man, just get married already."

"M-Married?!!"

The grandmother and granddaughter argued, and the conversation seemed to be heading in a strange direction.

Although Göndul's words were full of wisdom and life lessons, Akeno and the other embarrassed girls couldn't take it anymore and quickly made excuses to leave:

"Sorry, I'll go change the tea."

"I-I'll help too!"

In no time, everyone fled, leaving only Göndul, Rossweisse, Tenraku, Rias, Sona, and a few others behind.

"Ahem, let's not talk about marriage for now," Göndul said, realizing she had gone too far.

"Although you haven't been intimate yet, you must have gone on dates, right?"

"W-Well, not really..."

"You haven't even gone on dates?!!"

Rossweisse's incredulous words caused Göndul, who had just calmed down, to become agitated again.

"Rossweisse, you're not lying to me, are you? Maybe you haven't even found a boyfriend yet?"

Furrowing her brow, Göndul scrutinized Rossweisse, her wise eyes seemingly capable of seeing through everything, filled with suspicion.

"N-No, Grandma, I..."

Having been discovered by her grandmother, Rossweisse was flustered.

Things had already reached this point. If her grandmother found out she had been lying to her, she would surely scold her to death!

"Göndul-senior, it's not what you think."

"I've actually been wanting to ask Rossweisse out on a date. It's just that Rossweisse is a bit reserved, and she's always busy with work, so she hasn't agreed yet."

"But in my opinion, this is probably Rossweisse testing me."

Seeing that Rossweisse was about to collapse, Tenraku scratched his head and said.

Looking at Tenraku's sincere expression, Rias and SitriSona couldn't help but roll their eyes secretly. This guy really acted like it was true.

"I see. Rossweisse, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Göndul's brow smoothed out as she put down her suspicions, sounding somewhat reproachful.

"Grandma..."

Feeling extremely embarrassed, Rossweisse secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while also casting a grateful glance at Tenraku.

"While it's important for girls to be reserved and test guys, going too far is not good," Göndul remarked. "The Red Dragon Emperor is a reliable guy, and I've confirmed that."

"Rossweisse, go on a date with the Red Dragon Emperor. Consider it an order from me, your grandmother."

After nodding, Göndul dropped another bombshell.

"A date with Tenraku?"

"N-No, Grandma, we..."

Rossweisse once again found herself in a state of confusion, but Göndul cut her off directly.

"Enough, the decision has been made!"

"While I don't want to interfere with my granddaughter's love life, letting this chaos continue will only ruin this rare chance at marriage," Göndul continued sternly. "Rossweisse, you'll go on a date with the Red Dragon Emperor tomorrow. I'll be staying in this town for a few days, so don't even think about lying or trying to avoid it. I'll ask you about it afterward, as well as him."

With a serious expression, Göndul turned to Tenraku. "Red Dragon Emperor, do you have any objections?"

"No, being able to go on a date with Rossweisse is something I've always looked forward to," Tenraku replied, scratching his nose awkwardly.

With the powerful aura emanating from Grandma, how could I dare to object?

"And you, Rossweisse?"

"I... I..."

"Alright..."

In turmoil, under her grandmother's stern gaze, Rossweisse ultimately chose to comply.

"That's settled."

As the tension dissipated, Göndul's face once again bore a smile.

Tenraku and the girls were speechless. This grandma was a master at changing her tune.

"I've already taken up enough of your time today. I should take my leave soon."

"Ms. Göndul, I've arranged accommodation for you. Let me take you there," Sitri Sona offered politely.

"Thank you, Princess Sona."

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Göndul and Sitri Sona walked toward the transmission formation to the accommodations arranged by Sitri Sona.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the VIP room became somewhat tense.

"I'm sorry, Rias, Tenraku, I'm really sorry!"

Bowing deeply, Rossweisse continued to apologize, feeling extremely embarrassed.

The situation had completely exceeded her expectations, but ultimately, it was her own fault.

"Rossweisse, as I've said before, you're part of my peerage, and we'll support you unconditionally through any difficulties," Rias reassured her. "Besides, some people might be quite happy about going on a date with you."

Comforting Rossweisse, Rias added with a hint of sarcasm.

Knowing that Rias was still a bit jealous, Tenraku had already successfully dealt with the Gremory princess. He would console her properly later in the evening. For now, he needed to handle Rossweisse's situation.

"Although the situation is a bit strange, Miss Rossweisse, would you be willing to go on a date with me tomorrow?"

Approaching Rossweisse, Tenraku extended a gentlemanly invitation.

Knowing that Tenraku was preserving her dignity, Rossweisse felt both embarrassed and touched.

"Um..."
