22 Guests

"Alex!" Xenovia got startled when she saw me appear in the living room out of nowhere, and took a deep breath to calm herself, "You came early from school."

"Yeah." I replied with a fowl expression and went straight towards my room, "We'll possibly be having some unwanted guests today." I informed, just before climbing the staircase.

"Alex~" I heard a sensual moan and heavy breaths of my name being repeated continously, just as I reached the first floor.

I barged into the room and stopped at the door, because my childhood friend was currently naked and sniffing on my clothes that I wore yesterday, while she was touching herself by laying on my bed.

"A-A.." Irina stuttered with a mortified expression and dropped the underwear that she was holding near her face, "Y-You're early." She smiled innocently.

"And that's your concern right now?" I asked with an raised eyebrow and inhaled a deep breath to relax my own arousal, "Don't worry, I am not going to judge you because we all do it at this age. But honestly, using my underwear? That's going a bit far."

Irina's face was bright red in embarrassment and she didn't know what to say, "I.. I am sorry."

"Its fine." I stated nonchalantly as I entered the room and placed my bag on the study desk, "You should clean up before the others arrive."

"Y-Yeah." Irina immediately grabbed the opportunity and rushed out of the room by picking up her clothes from the floor.

'Whatever am I going to do with her.' I shook my head with a fond smile and sat on my bed, "What am I going to do now?"

Sirzechs, I wanted to kill him at first, but my hate for him gradually decreased as I got to know his side of the story and the hardships he had faced.

Then, there's my family from his side, who are suddenly being kind and lovable to me. Grayfia was a whole another subject as she knew me since I was a child, but what am I going to do with the others?

'As Grayfia said, Violence is not a solution here.' I contemplated with a deep scowl, 'Of course, I can solve all my problems with my strength, but that also means that I would eventually become a heartless monster and die alone.'

'I am aware that I could be cruel to the people around me, but I don't exactly hate them enough to selfishly end thier lives.' I took a deep breath and composed my emotions, "I'll deal with them somehow."

I started taking off my uniform and while I was in the middle of changing into my regular clothes, I detected several presence in front of my house and the door bell rang next.

By the time I reached downstairs, I saw that Xenovia had already let them into the living room and was greeting the guests.

I was not surprised to see Zeoticus, Sirzechs and Rias present with Grayfia, but I was a bit startled when I saw a black haired midget glaring at me for some reason.

The woman wasn't exactly short and was around Rias' height, but I couldn't help but think of her as a midget in my mind.

"Who is she?" I pointed at the woman as I approached them in the living room.

"She's Serafall Leviathan, Sona's elder sister." Rias was the one who answered me, "Sona couldn't come due to her duties at school, but she'll be here once the Open House day is over."

"You should introduce yourself." Grayfia meaningfully nodded at me.

"My name's Alexander Kitagawa." I looked at them and introduced myself with a straight face.

"Guests?" Irina came out of her room and looked at us in surprise.

"She's Irina, the one I was talking about." Xenovia stated by looking at Sirzechs.

"Who are they, Alex?" Irina came stood next to me with a shy expression, "Are you..?" She scowled at Sirzechs when she noticed the similarities between us.

"I am Sirzechs Lucifer, Alexander's father." Sirzechs nodded with a fond smile, "I believe you have already met my wife and sister. So, this is my father, Zeoticus Gremory and that woman glaring at my son is Serafall Leviathan, Sona's elder sister."

"O-Oh." Irina was startled and speechless for a few seconds, "I-I am your son's Knight, Irina Shidou. Its a pleasure to meet you, Maou Sirzechs-sama!"

"You can simply call me Sirzechs." He chuckled at her and looked at me, "You already have two impressive Knights."

"So?" I snorted and went to the couch, "Let's get this over with." I gestured at them to sit.

"I'll get changed first." Grayfia informed me and went upstairs to our room, while the rest of them sat around in the living room.

"So, do you have something against me?" I turned to Serafall because she was glaring at me for a while now, "At least, I would like to the reason why I have-"

"You!" Serafall bursted into rage and shouted at me by accusingly pointing her finger at my face, "You stole my Sona-tan's first kiss from me and even bewitched her to fall in love with you!"

"True." I nodded in acknowledgment and smirked at her, "Jealous?"

"Very much!" Serafall exclaimed and was about to pounce at me from her seat, but Sirzechs pulled her down.

"Calm down, Serafall." Sirzechs warned her with an annoyed frown and turned to me with a smile, "And please stop provoking her, Alexander. Serafall has a very intimate relationship with her sister."

"Then I hope she won't get in our way when Sona and I are busy making babies." I snorted with a cocky grin and folded my hands, "Honestly, we should already start practicing the process since we have established some boundaries to our relationship."

"Alex!" Rias called out to me with a deep blush.

I simply ignored her existence and continued to smirk at the petite woman.

"You have guts." Serafall giggled darkly with her demonic powers rising eerily, "Babies with my Sona-tan? Practice?" She giggled with an insane grin, "You've got a death wish, you cheeky brat."

Sirzechs pummeled his fist on the top of Serafall's head with an annoyed expression, "Enough."

"B-But.." Serafall turned to him with a tearful pout, "He's saying so many mean things about Sona-tan to me!"

"Would you please stop, Alex?" Zeoticus requested me with an nervous smile, "Why don't you tell us more about yourself?"

"What is there to say?" I shrugged in response, "I mean, why the sudden interest in my life? To be honest, I wouldn't care if you guys are alive or dead the next day."

Zeoticus looked at me with an irritated twitch on his eyebrows and turned to his son, "Do something."

"Alex." Sirzechs sighed by inhaling a deep breath, "Can you not be a jerk for a single moment?"

"It's his defensive barrier." Irina pointed out cheerfully, "He always behaves like that when he meets someone for the first time! Even during Kindergarten-"

I immediately placed an hand on Irina's mouth and made her shut up.

But the other one spoke up, "I have done some research and I have found out that such people are referred to as 'Tsundere' in the Japanese language." Xenovia nodded wisely.

"Oh, I get that term!" Zeoticus clapped his hands together and looked at me with a bright smile, "So, you are actually happy that we all are here with you!"

"He's just can't be honest with himself." Rias sighed in agreement with her father.

"I have brought some snacks." Grayfia came back to the living room and magically summoned several types of snacks and variety of juices on the table before us.

"That one is for the elders only." Grayfia pointed out at the bottle of authentic vine, which Zeoticus gladly picked up and poured some for himself.

"Let's watch the video I've recorded!" Zeoticus cheered and handed his camera to Grayfia.

"Why are you beginning with mine?" Rias whined with a bashful expression and helplessly narrowed her eyes at me.

"What?" I frowned in response, "You are the one who brought him here, don't look at me."

"Hmph." She pouted and looked away.

"By the way, Sona has informed us we can start attending the school after the first term exams." Irina informed me and showed me the mail of acceptance on her phone.

"Exams." Sirzechs curiously turned to me while chipping on some cookies, "Are you good at studies?"

"He's the top of his class." Grayfia bragged with a proud smile by coming behind the couch and gently ruffled my hairs.

"Exams, huh." I muttered to myself as I realised how quickly the first term of the year had passed.

"Have you been informed by Rias that you're coming to the Underworld for your summer vacation?" Zeoticus heard our conversation and turned to me, "Your Grandmother, Venelana is eager to meet you!"

"Wait, Underworld?" I frowned as nobody had informed me about it.

"I was going to tell you." Rias nodded in confirmation, "Every year, we go to the Underworld during our Summer Vacation. It's good time for us to Train as well."

"You train?" I mocked with genuine surprise and Zeoticus bursted into laughing feat.

Serafall giggled at the remarked as well, but didn't call out as she didn't wanted to hurt Rias' feelings.

Rias pouted with a tearful expression when she saw that even her brother was laughing at her, "We do train during our free time!" She whined shamefully and pounded her fist on his shoulder.

"Yeah, you do." Sirzechs laughed in agreement and patted his cute little sister's head, "Also." He looked at me, "It would be great opportunity for you to see the Underworld and meet the other Devil Clans."

"You can also collect your Evil peices from Ajuka-sama." Grayfia pointed out, to further convince me.

I noticed that Irina and Xenovia had an eager look in their eyes, so I nodded with a sigh, "I'll think about it."

"He means yes!" Irina immediately interpretated the hidden meaning.

"Good then." Sirzechs chuckled in response and looked at me, "You don't need to worry about anything, Alexander. I am here now."

Before I could argue to his statement, the Door bell rang and I detected that it was Sona, Tsubaki, and Rias' Queen Akeno.

I was about to get up, but Grayfia nodded at me and went to answer the door instead.

"Ara Ara, you all have started without us." Akeno giggled when she saw the energetic atmosphere of the room. Zeoticus was adoring his daughter on the screen and Serafall was searching for her sister in his video, because both Sona and Rias were in the same class.

"Sona-tan!" Serafall exclaimed in delight and immediately rushed towards her sister.

"Mine." I frowned and instantly teleported next to Sona, before I snatched her away.

"You!" Serafall was exasperated by my move, "Get away from my Sona-tan!"

"A-Alex.." Sona stuttered with an bashful expression when she realised I was holding her slim body in my arms.

"You Incubus!" Serafall whined with a helpless sobbing expression, "Stop using my Sona-tan as a shield and fight me!"

"My Sona." I smirked and teleported back to my seat with Sona sitting on my lap.

"There's a limit to being a douche." Sona reprimanded me and lightly slapped my shoulder, "And stop teasing my sister, didn't I warn you?"

"Eh.." I looked away with a blank expression.

Sona snorted and got off from my lap, before sitting next to Rias on the couch, "Sirzechs-sama, Zeoticus-sama." She greeted the elders first, then Tsubaki and Akeno did the same.

"Ara, Kaichou." Akeno called out when she saw Sona madly blushing in the recording and glaring at her sister to stay quiet in the classroom.

"Midget." I remarked by annoyingly glancing at Serafall.

"You want to say something to my face?" Serafall clenched her fists with an pissed off growl.

"They are already fighting." Tsubaki muttered with a sigh.

"I can understand why Issei and Asia are not here, but where are Kiba and Koneko-chan?" I looked at Rias with an aggravated scowl, "Won't they feel left out just because you didn't invite them?"

"Ara." Akeno giggled as the atmosphere got quiet all of a sudden and everyone stared at me as if I was an alien.

"I'll call them right away!" Rias nodded with a bright smile.

"I'll also call Kiryuu-san then." Irina giggled cheerfully and got up from her seat to make a call.

Sirzechs was staring at me with a creepy smile and that honestly irritated me a lot, "What?" I called him out.

"Tsundere." He stated and everyone laughed and giggled in agreement with him.

"I hate you guys.." I grumbled by clenching my fists and took a deep breath, "Whatever." I snorted and picked up a peice of fried chicken for myself on an empty plate.

"You're a minor." Grayfia slapped my hand away the moment she saw me picking up the vine bottle.

"What's the problem if just consume a little?" I whined childishly, "It's not that alcoholic anyways."

"Let him have some fun, Grayfia." Sirzechs convinced her with a small smile, "It's just wine."

"You're already spoiling him." Grayfia glared at Sirzechs and snatched the bottle away from me, "Unfortunately for you, Alex is mine."

"Ugh.." I groaned and simply went for the juice, but also noticed that I must've just ignited a fight between them.

'Who cares?' I rolled my eyes and continued to watch Rias embarrass herself on the video recording.

After a while, Kiba, Koneko and Aika also joined us.

Although, when Aika arrived, the look on her face was satisfyingly gleeful for me, when she tried and failed to introduce herself to the Maou. I mean, he does holds the title of a mythical being that human kind fears the most.

"I-Its a pleasure to m-meet you." Aika nodded at Sirzechs as she stood in the room full of Devils, "M-My name is A-Aika Kiryuu. I am your son's friend and classmate."

"You can relax, Aika." Sirzechs greeted back with a fond smile, "I can tell that Alexander trusts you a lot, so I won't consume your soul."

"C-Consume.." Aika fell back on the couch next to Irina and almost fainted.

"He's teasing you." Irina informed her as the others laughed at her adorable reaction, "Devils don't consume human souls."

"We do have slavery though." Zeoticus pointed out with a smile, "We can enslave several Races as our servants and even use Evil Peices to convert them into a part of our family."

"You're my chosen slave." I informed Aika with an innocent smile.

Although, instead of being depressed or anxious, she showed the extreme opposite reaction and started drooling at the imaginations in her mind.

"S-She's like Issei." Rias informed her brother with a nervous smile.

"Oh?" Sirzechs looked at Aika with an amused expression and turned to me, "You should make her your pawn. The dormant Sacred Gear in her might awaken when she becomes a Devil."

"S-Scared Gear?" I was stupefied and so was everyone who heard him.

I had not thought of the possibility because of my limited knowledge of the world. So, after hearing about the Sacred Gear, I immediately focused my spiritual senses into Aika's body and found an object attached to her soul.

I couldn't tell what the object was, but it was definitely a Sacred Gear, 'If I use my Six eyes, I could have a better look into her Soul.' I decided that I'll do it later when we were alone.

"What's a Sacred Gear?" Aika looked at me with a confused expression, "Am I actually someone special?" She shyly blushed at the possibility and eagerly stared at me.

Thankfully, Tsubaki and Akeno were present in the room to explain Aika about the existence of Sacred Gears and the Supernatural world.
