5 Chapter 5.

"So how did you meet each other?"

Miki asked her son and his girlfriend with a curious expression while eating cookies and drinking tea. She was falling in love with these cookies. They were just too delicious to be left alone.

"Well, we met each other in the school library last week. From that time we started to talk with each other and eventually fell in love."

Issei replied to his mother with a calm expression while taking a sip of tea from his cup. He was sitting next to his girlfriend while his mother was sitting in the opposite direction as them.

Hearing his ridiculous statements, Rias turned to look at him with a weird expression. She had thought about many stories that she would have told her mother-in-law, however, her boyfriend chose the worst of them.

"Hehe, it's good to be young. Your father and I were like that too. Though we met each other in an amusement park."

Miki spoke with a fond smile on her face. Just remembering those memories made her feel very happy. Those were the golden days of her love life.

"Let's leave my love life behind. My son is a hidden gem and I'm glad that he could find someone like you, Rias-chan."

Miki spoke with a small smile while looking at her daughter-in-law. She has already accepted her as her daughter-in-law. There was nothing wrong with the girl and she seemed to be genuinely in love with Issei.

Seeing the happy expression on her face, Rias felt very happy as it seems that her first impression in front of her mother-in-law has been good.

"I'm very happy with him….?"

"Call me mother or mom. Whatever that you want. I'm very happy with you."

Miki immediately told her daughter-in-law. She had gone through a similar situation so she instantly understood that she was having trouble choosing the right words to address her mother-in-law.

Rias immediately showed a beautiful smile. Inwardly, she praised herself for winning the heart of her mother-in-law so easily. She turned to look at her boyfriend only to see him eating cookies with a calm expression however her expression immediately turned into a horrified one.

"Leave some cookies for me, Ise-kun. I want to eat them too."

With a swift movement, she picked up his plate that was filled with cookies and put that plate beside her. She looked at him with a pout before she stuck out her tongue for a moment before she started to eat the cookies.

"You both are a perfect match for each other."

Miki spoke with an amused smile before she went to drink her tea. Her plate of cookies was untouched by anyone as no one would want to face the wrath of a mother.

After finishing up his tea, he stood up from his seat and took his cup with him before he put it in the dirty utensils for his mother to wash. She washes the utensils all the time except for the nighttime.

He does not have anything to do at this time so he decided to just go and sit on his bed. He turned to look at his girlfriend who was busy talking with her mother-in-law. He smiled slightly before he started to walk towards his room. It seems that both of them are getting along and nothing seems to be bad right now.

Inside his room, he sat on his bed and started to think about the plans that he needs to make right now. He has gotten powerful however when you compare him to those top 10 beings of this world, he still has a long way to go.

When he was thinking about these things suddenly an idea came to his mind which for some reason was not related to anything that he was thinking about previously.

He walked towards his desk before he took a seat on the chair and took out a sketchbook from one of the drawers. He has decided to write a manga and sell it to some publishers for money.

He doesn't need money as he got a rich girlfriend however he just wishes to draw a manga and make a name for himself. He had a lot of ideas in his mind though after thinking on for some time, he decided to go with the famous Zombie manga, HighSchool Of The Dead.

It was one of the most popular genres of zombie survival and the reasons were very simple. It got some nice girls and action along with the fan service scenes.

He was going to create that manga and take the entire credit for himself. The original author of this manga had died very early which was the prime reason why it didn't get any other volume.

(Rest in peace Author.)

He took out a pencil from another drawer before he closed his eyes to remember the exact details of the manga. It took some time however he managed to remember most of the necessary things.

After he was done with remembering those things, he opened his eyes and started to create panels on the sketchbook before he started to draw the illustrations slowly.

He made some mistakes in starting however his Genius ability started to kick in and he started to get a hang of it before a new skill appeared on the list of his skills which proved very useful.

He drew the first page then the second, third and fourth before it reached 60 pages. The more he was drawing, the better, he was getting at it and his speed was also increasing rapidly.

He was drawing the pictures along with the dialogues and he was making sure that there were no grammatical mistakes in it. This was going to be the first volume of the manga and it would be considered as the original copy.

It took an hour for him to complete the first volume and he made sure to check it many times for any possible mistakes. Only after he was sure that nothing was wrong with it, did he put all of those papers inside a file before he put the cover picture in front of the manga.

The manga that he had drawn right now only contained what was shown in the anime which was why it took 60 pages. He made sure to extend some important parts while removing some unnecessary parts.

Now the only thing that he needed was to have someone read this and give her feedback to him. Even though he knows that everyone would like this, he still wanted to confirm from someone's mouth. His girlfriend was in the house however she still has not come upstairs to his room.

He wondered just what they were talking about that was taking so much time. It's been more than one hour since he left those two alone yet she has not come to his room.

He was about to go down however he stopped himself in his tracks as he sensed her presence coming closer to his room. It seems the chat has ended, however now it was time for him to go downstairs to prepare food for his family. His father should be arriving at any time now as it is more than 7:30 in the evening.

"What took you so long, Rias-chan?"

Issei asked her in a curious tone while looking at the door which was being opened by her.

She entered the room with a small smile before she took a seat on the bed and looked at him.

"We were talking about you, Ise-kun. Then she decided to show me your childhood photos. You looked so cute as a little kid."

Issei for a second felt stupid. Of course, he should have expected something like this to happen. His mother must have told her everything about him including those embarrassing memories that he doesn't want to remember and tell any other person.

"What were you doing here? Were you missing me?"

Rias asked him with a teasing smile while looking at the desk where he was sitting. Her eyes landed on a folder which was named Highschool Of The Dead. Seeing such a strange yet bizarre name, she got very curious about that folder.

"I was working on this during the time you were chatting with my mother. Wanna read it? It's the first time that I tried to create something like this"

Issei spoke with a calm expression while walking towards her with the manga folder in his hands. He gave the folder to her and stood beside her, waiting for a reaction on his first project.

Taking the folder from her boyfriend's hand, she looked at the name curiously before she opened it and saw a zombie picture in a school uniform with a lot of blood on its body. She had seen countless zombie pictures however this one stuck out the most.

Above the picture of Zombie, she saw Volume 1 written in a corner. An excited smile appeared on her face when she realized what was in her hand. She excitedly looked at him with a smile that was threatening to tear off her face.

"Y-You created a manga in just one hour? You are so awesome, Ise-kun."

Seeing the shining stars in his girlfriend's eyes, he chuckled in amusement before he started to pat her head to calm her down. Her excitement immediately started to diminish slowly.

"I'll be going to prepare dinner. At that time, read this and tell me how it is, okay?"

Issei asked her with a smile to which she nodded seriously. He looked at her face for some seconds before he realized that he had forgotten that she was an Otaku herself.

After he spoke those words, he removed his hand from her head before he started to walk towards the entrance door. Before going out of the room, he turned back to look at her only to see her reading the manga with an extremely focused expression.

She had the same expression as him when he used to find good stuff to read in his past life. With a smile, he silently closed the door before he went towards the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Inside the kitchen, he started to cut down vegetables while putting utensils on the gas stove. His mother had already cleaned the utensils and she was already back in her room to rest.

He put the rice on the other gas stove to cook while he continued to cook the curry. His previous world knowledge was helping him a lot in this and it was only because of that that he was having an easy time preparing curry.

While the curry and rice were getting cooked, he decided to cut some salad for dinner. He included tomatoes, reddish, onions and cucumbers. After cutting down the salad, he put some salt on it before he mixed it nicely.

Since the main work was done, he decided to wash the extra utensils. He had some free time now as the curry and the rice was still getting cooked. So with fast movements, he washed the extra utensils before he put them back at their usual location.

He also sensed a familiar presence coming to the house and he immediately knew who he was. His dad never comes back late from his work and that was his principle as well. He always says that one should go to work at the right time and come back to the house at the right time. No matter how much work you have to do between those hours.

Since his girlfriend was also an Otaku, he was sure that she would be more than happy to help him find some publishers to publish this manga of his. Though she would use her family connection so there was a chance that he might get to meet one of the big shots of Underworld so early.

Now that he thinks about it, he had sensed rune magic on his girlfriend's body. Even though he didn't scan it, based on his memories from the past life about this show, he could deduce that this rune was something like an alarm that was connected to another person.

It was very strange in the anime that the sister-in-law of Rias arrived at the scene at the moment when Rias was 100% sure of losing her virginity to the original Issei. This must be the work of the rune which would have alerted the other person who had control of it.

Since the control of the rune could not be given to his girlfriend's overprotective brother as it could have created a lot of trouble, his girlfriend's mother must have given the control to her daughter-in-law. She must have told her to look after Rias and make sure that she does not take drastic steps to avoid her marriage.

Even though they put the rune on his girlfriend's body, they didn't tell her about it as it would have created unwanted and unnecessary problems for them, however now that he knows about it, he was already planning to use it fully to get some benefits.

While he was thinking about this, the cooker started to make noises which immediately brought him back to reality. He immediately turned off the gas stove on which he had put the rice. As for the curry, it seems that he would still need to wait for some moments.

He waited for some time before he closed the other gas stove as well. After making sure that the gas stove was completely closed, he headed towards his room as he needed to know if she would eat here or if she would go back to her home now.

Entering the room, he saw her, reading his manga while laying on her stomach on the bed. He was given an amazing sight to see since she was wearing the school skirt which was showing her milky white thighs.

"Rias-chan, are you going to stay here for dinner or are you going back to your home now?"

Issei asked her with a smile while he walked towards her before he looked at the page of the manga and saw her reading the 35th page. Her reading speed was either very slow or she was just trying to not leave any details.

"Huh?"

Rias with an irritated expression turned to look at him. She didn't like it when someone interrupted her in the middle of her reading session. She was having so much fun reading this zombie manga.

"Oh, Ise-kun, what's up?"

Her expression immediately changed when she saw the person who had interrupted her just now. She had forgotten that she was not in her house currently.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself, Rias-chan. I asked, are you going to stay here for dinner or are you heading back home?"

Issei asked with an amused expression not caring about the expression that she had shown him earlier. He had given that expression to his family and friends in the past whenever they interrupted him.

"Dinner time already? I'll head back to my home."

Rias spoke with a confused expression as the time passed too quickly for her. She stood up from the bed before she summoned the Gremory clan teleportation circle and walked into the middle of it.

"I'll be taking this with me, Ise-kun. I'll find you a very good publishing company."

Rias said with a smile before she used her mana to activate the circle. A red glow appeared on the circle before she disappeared from her place.

Issei stood there with a dumbfounded expression as his girlfriend teleported away without even giving him any feedback for the manga. She must have been too excited for it which caused her to forget about the feedback.

"It doesn't matter anyway. Since she took it with her, she must have liked it a lot."

He muttered underneath his breath before he started to walk downstairs. His family must be waiting for him to serve their food.

~~~~~~

With the manga in her hand, she appeared inside a big mansion. The place where she appeared was the mansion of the Gremory clan, a clan with the rank of Duke in the underworld.

The layout of the mansion's outside is a quadrangle with a courtyard in the middle. Outside at the entrance is a fountain with a circular flower bed surrounding it, with many gardens in the surrounding areas.

She had appeared in front of a large dining table on which three people were already sitting. The dining table was filled with a lot of delicacies.

The mansion was filled with a lot of maids who were all working around on something. Some of them were even taking out more food from the kitchen and they were serving it on the dining table.

At the centre of the dining table, a handsome middle-aged man with bright blue eyes was sitting with a calm expression. He had long crimson hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He also has a short and red beard.

He was Zeoticus Gremory, the current Head of the Gremory Clan and the father of Rias Gremory as well.

Beside him was sitting a woman who looked the same as Rias Gremory though she had shorter flaxen hair and violet eyes unlike the bright blue eyes of Rias. She looked like a woman in her early twenties.

She was Venelana Gremory, the current Lady of the Gremory Clan. She is the mother of Rias Gremory as well.

In the opposite direction of Venelana, a handsome man in his early twenties was sitting with a very happy expression. He has shoulder-length crimson hair and blue-green eyes.

He was Sirzechs Lucifer, the current leader of the Four Great Satans. He was also the big brother of Rias; however, to become Lucifer, he had to drop the name of the Gremory clan. He was also a Superclass devil who was counted on the list of the top 10 strongest beings.

Behind him stood a beautiful back length silver-haired maid wearing a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head.

Her silver hair features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down which ends in twin braids and silver eyes.

She was Grayfia Lucifuge, Queen of Sirzechs Lucifer and the head maid of the Gremory household. She is known as the Strongest Queen and the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation.

"Ria-tan, come take a seat quickly."

Sirzech spoke in an excited tone while motioning her to sit beside him. The others just shook their heads at his behaviour however Rias didn't deny him.

"You are late, Rias. Dinner should always be on time, you know that, right?"

Zeoticus spoke with a strict tone while looking at her daughter. As the head of the Gremory clan, he understands the importance of time. He doesn't want his daughter to become someone who does even respect time.

"You are very harsh on her, husband. I'm sure that she must have her reasons."

Venelana protected her daughter from her husband as she knew that he would just start ranting once again. Honestly, she wants her daughter to enjoy her time fully and not care about unnecessary things.

"I was reading this manga and I didn't even notice how much time had passed till he told me."

Rias spoke with an excited expression while showing the manga to her mother who looked at it very curiously. Though she didn't notice the sudden frown on her father and brother's faces when she spoke.

"Who is he?"

Sirzech asked her with a very sweet smile on his face. He wondered if he needed to visit the human world again to take care of someone.

"He is the pawn that Rias-sama has acquired recently."

Grayfia immediately chipped in the conversation when she was given a sign by the current lady of the Gremory clan. She knows that her king is a very big siscon who might just go to the human world to protect his sister's innocence.

"Oh, so he is your pawn. I was getting worried for no reason."

Sirzech muttered with a smile while chuckling as if he didn't think about scaring the boy just some time ago. Since he was a pawn that he was a family member and you don't threaten your family member.

"What's his sacred gear or special power? How many pawn pieces did he take to get reincarnated as a devil?"

Zeoticus asked with a curious expression, looking at his daughter's face. The others also turned to look at her except for Grayfia who just acted like she didn't hear anything.

"Sacred gear? I forgot to ask him about it."

Rias spoke with a smile while trying to recall if she ever asked him about his sacred gear and for some reason, she didn't remember a single time. Did she just reincarnate him without even knowing his sacred gear?

A furious expression appeared on the face of Zeoticus who couldn't believe that his daughter made such a rash and stupid mistake. Even though they don't discriminate against their servants, they don't accept useless servants either. They were devils for a reason and didn't go around saving people and now, his daughter proved to him that she was still a child mentally.

The others could feel that the head of the Gremory clan was not happy with his daughter's decision. Even though they wanted to calm him down, they didn't know how they would calm him down. Her decision of reincarnating a human without even knowing about his sacred gear was just plain ridiculous.

"Even though I don't know his sacred gear, his potential is very high. All of my pawn pieces were mutated when I was trying to reincarnate him."

Rias explained more to them with an elegant smile causing everyone to look at her with an astonished expression. She has just shut everyone mouth even without knowing that she was going to get punishment for making such a stupid expression.

"W-What? 8 mutated pawn pieces?"

Sirzech asked her with a slightly surprised expression, confusing his sister. His peerage is considered the strongest in the entire Underworld however even he never was able to get so many mutated pieces for a single person reincarnation.

Not just him, he was sure that no one from the Underworld has seen so many pieces getting mutated for a single human reincarnation. This just proves that his little sister has just found gold in the human world. Though how much that pawn of hers would grow would also depend on his mindset.

"Yeah, Onii-sama. He took 8 mutated pawn pieces."

Rias replied to her elder brother with a smug expression. She too knew that nothing like this has ever happened in the history of using evil pieces so she was feeling very proud of herself and her boyfriend.

"We would like to meet him someday. Anyway, let's start eating otherwise the food will get cold."

Zeoticus spoke with a serious expression. Though the others could tell that he was feeling very proud of his daughter for getting such a pawn for her peerage.

Everyone just nodded at his words before they all started to eat gracefully. Though Venelana was looking at her daughter with a thoughtful expression as if she was trying to understand something.

"Say, Rias, did your pawn create this piece of manga that you are reading currently?"

At her sudden question, everyone turned to look at Rias who nodded with a proud expression. They all knew her obsession with manga and anime so they knew that she does not just read anything if it is not interesting enough. This just shows that her pawn had created something interesting enough for her to read.

"Yeah, he created this Zombie manga and that too in just one hour. Ise-kun is a very talented person."

Rias confirmed her mother's suspicion and as well as increased the interest that others had in her pawn. To take 8 mutated evil pieces then to create something amazing like this in one hour, he seems to be very talented in these things.

Venelana just nodded at her daughter's words before she focused her attention back on the food that was on her plate. Her motive to ask her daughter was not to find out about the creator behind the manga, it was to check whether her suspicion was correct or not.

As a young woman herself who had lived for so long, she could deduce the feelings of others for someone and now she was just doing that. It seems that her daughter has fallen in love with her pawn. This was very important information because her daughter's marriage was very close.

The young man that her daughter spoke of seems to be very charismatic and talented, however, even talent needs to work hard if he wants to shine very early. Even though this information should have made her panic for the public image of her clan, she found herself feeling very interested in that young man.

"He would want to publish this manga, right? After all, everyone wants to get recognised for their work."

Venelana asked her daughter who nodded with a smile. Her businesswomen side was telling her to take this manga under her company and by doing so she would also be able to meet that young man.

The males present in the room didn't care about it as they had urgent meetings to attend even though it was almost time to sleep. Such was the life of leaders and none of them complained about it.

The dinner continued like normal from that point as no one spoke anymore. After they finished eating their food, the males immediately teleported away to their respective offices.

After finishing up her food, Rias walked towards her room to continue to read the manga that she had in her hands. She had never read something so interesting like this before. The fan service and the thriller scenes were just perfect for this manga.

The maids immediately started to clean the dining table before all of them went back to eat their shares of food. Grayfia and Venelana were still sitting at the dining table as Grayfia was eating her dinner now and Venelana was eating some Japanese pickles for the sake of taste.

"Grayfia, should I go and meet the young man who was able to make my daughter fall for him in just one week?"

Venelana asked the head maid with a curious expression. Grayfia had told her previously that Rias had taken an interest in a young man who seem to have a good sacred gear inside him.

"You can always go to meet him with the excuse that he is your daughter's new pawn, however, would not be a lot more suspicious, Venelana-sama?"

Grayfia replied to her question with a serious expression. Even though he was proving to be a very interesting young man, it was still not wise for the lady of the Gremory clan to go and meet him like that.

"He needs a publication company to work with, right? We can always use the publishing company that I have under my name to meet him."

Venelana spoke in a calm tone while continuing to eat the pickles. Eating Japanese pickles after food always makes her happy and feel satisfied.

Her words confused the head maid as she doesn't remember any publishing company that is under the direct command of the lady Gremory. Though a sudden realization suddenly hit her and she immediately understood what the lady Gremory was trying to say.

"I'll look for a good publishing company for you, Venelana-sama. Then you go and meet him as the head of the company."

Even though she didn't understand the sudden interest of lady Gremory in that young man, as the head maid, she would support her unconditionally. Though she would not deny and say that she was not interested in him. After all, she has been watching him for some time since the young heiress had taken an interest in him.

She has not told anyone however she was also interested in the cookies that can make anyone moan in pleasure and satisfaction. She has tasted a lot of food in different varieties however she never came across as something like this. So her growing interest in him was very natural.

~~~~~~~~~~

After finishing up dinner and washing the remaining utensils, he was once again back in his room. The dinner went more peacefully than he had initially expected.

His father didn't react much to the fact his son had gotten a girlfriend. He just told him to take care of her and be happy with her. His father was not interested in his son's love life, unlike his mother.

Inside the room, he started to take off his clothes before he went on the bed and covered himself with a blanket. His underwear was still on his body as he doesn't like sleeping fully naked.

The light was still on since he was waiting for his girlfriend to appear. Knowing her love for him and the fact that she slept here yesterday night, he was sure that she would come back in some time.

Just like he had predicted, a magic circle appeared in the middle of his room before she came through the teleportation circle. Though this time, she didn't have the manga that he had given her previously.

"Ise-kun, my mother has decided to publish your manga in her company. She'll come to meet you in a few days to talk about the deal."

Rias spoke with an excited smile before she immediately started to take off her clothes from her body. After taking off every cloth from her body, she instantly climbed on the bed before moving inside the blanket.

She didn't even care about the fact that both of them were naked together. All she cared about right now was to give him the feedback for his amazing manga.

"Your manga was so amazing. The storyline was good along with the personality of those characters. Those fan service scenes were amazing too. Right now, my mother is reading that manga."

Rias started to give him feedback before she told him about the current location of that manga. He was happy that she liked though he was a little confused that he managed to gather the attention of his girlfriend's mother on him so early and easily.

"I'm glad that you liked it, Rias-chan."

Issei spoke with a small smile on his face before he put his hand on her waist and pulled her close to his body. His sudden action caused her body to stiffen as she realized that she was naked with him on the same bed.

He caressed her waist for some time before he closed his eyes. It was not the perfect time to take her virginity. He was enjoying her big soft boobs on his chest and the feeling of her soft skin against his body. The time for them to do the deed is very close so he needed to wait for some time.

"Good night, Rias-chan."

Rias trembling relaxed at his words. Even though she would have happily done the deed with him now, she was not mentally prepared for it. Her respect and love for him increased, even more, when she saw him controlling himself just for her feelings.

"Good night, Ise-kun."

She mumbled with a smile before she hugged him tightly and closed her eyes.
