Part 6

"Itadakimasu."[4]

To my grandpa in heaven.

Right now, in our home, a beauty is drinking miso-soup next to me.

"These are very delicious, Okaa-sama."

"Y-Yeah. T-Thank you very much."

Both my parents who are sitting across from me have weird expressions on their faces.

Grandpa, how am I able to fix this weird atmosphere?

It's my first time eating breakfast in this weird atmosphere, and I'm not sure what to do in this situation.

"Ise, it's the meal that Okaa-sama made. Eat it."

Senpai says it with elegance. She's acting like an older sister.

"Y-Yes!"

I replied quickly and started to throw the food into my mouth.

"Don't eat it in such a vulgar way. Eat slowly so you can taste the food. This is the precious food that Okaa-sama made for us."

Senpai wipes my mouth with her handkerchief.

What is this? What kind of situation am I in?

"I-Ise..."

Dad spoke to me with a trembling voice.

You look quite nervous Dad. So am I.

"W-Where did this lady c-come from?"

After hearing that, Senpai put her chopstick down and bows her head.

"...Oh my, I apologise for not introducing myself... I brought shame to the House of Gremory. Please allow me to introduce myself. Okaa-sama and Otou-sama, my name is Rias Gremory. I attend the same Academy as Hyoudou Issei-kun. It's a pleasure to meet you all."[5][6]

Senpai smiles. Dad responds with a weird face.

"I-Is that so... T-That's amazing. Hahaha! Are you from a foreign country? Your Japanese is very good."

"Yes. Due to my father's work, I have been living in Japan for a long time."

Oh. Looks like dad is convinced.

But it seems like mum, who is sitting beside him isn't.

"Is Rias...-san correct?"

"Yes, Okaa-sama."

"What kind of relationship do you have with Ise?"

—!

That's a good question, it can answer the whole situation from earlier.

Mum is curious for her answer, but Senpai just continues to smile.

"We are just a senior and a junior who are quite close to each other, Okaa-sama."

"That's a lie!"

Mum rejects the answer immediately.

Of course she would. That excuse won't work, Senpai. Since she saw that situation, that excuse won't work!

"Be-, be-, bbbbbbbecause! On the bed!"

"Ise said he has nightmares, so I was just sleeping with him."

"Just sleeping together!? B-Both of you were naked!"

"Nowadays, people sleep naked when they sleep together, Okaa-sama."

That's a big lie. You are amazing, Senpai.

But mum becomes quiet at her words.

"I-Is that so...? So people sleep together naked lately."

Okaa-sama!? Is that all right!? You are okay with that!?

Then I realise that mum's eyes look weird. They look empty, as if she was possessed by something.

After that Senpai whispers in my ear.

"...I'm sorry. It looked like it would become troublesome, so I used my power."

Power?

Then I remember what she said earlier.

—I am a Devil.

...Devil. Then this is also because of a Devil's power?

Senpai resumes eating her breakfast. When I checked, dad also had hollow eyes. Did she use her power on him as well...?

A Devil.

What is going on?
