chapter 19

RIANA GREMORY'S POV

"So what did you think of the young man named Allan Graysen?"

"How should I say it? He's a good guy. Of that I'm sure, my son."

I was sitting in one of the chairs at the table in the Gremory Castle meeting room. Those who are present in this room are me, my father, my mother, Grayfia, Ayla and little Shirone-chan, today there is also the presence of three more people.

The first being my older brother Sirzechs Lucifer.

In the past my brother's last name was Gremory but after my brother took Lucifer's seat among the 4 maous he had to change his last name. He is Grayfia's husband and also the father of little Millicas who is my nephew and is now in school.

He has long red hair and blue eyes just like me, my dad and my older sister.

My dear big brother is someone I respect and look up to (although he's a big siscon) and I'm glad he's here today.

The next person here is my older sister Rias Gremory.

My sister and I are very similar even though we are a year apart in age.

While I keep my hair up in a ponytail and my sister leaves her hair down behind her back, she is also wearing the uniform of the school she is studying in.

And finally the third person was Akeno-san.

"Really they are identified, the only difference between them is the hairstyle." I thought as I remembered when I first met Akino-san last month.

"I see, I really wanted to thank him personally for what he did." my brother Sirzechs spoke during his conversation with our father.

"By the way Riana..." my brother switched the conversation to talk to me.

"Yes dear brother?" I asked a little surprised to have been called suddenly.

"Riana you don't need to be so tense. I just want to ask about how Kuroka is doing. Has she contacted you?" my brother said.

"Yes, yesterday she texted me saying that everything is fine and that she is being very well received at Clarisse Aizawa's house." I told my brother.

3 weeks ago Allan-san and Clarisse Aizawa came to our family's territory because of our request to cure Kuroka, Allan-san managed to cure Kuroka but there were some minor complications.

Allan-san explained to us that because the substances from the experiments had remained in Kuroka's body for several years he couldn't fully heal her, he also couldn't remove the substances all at once because if he did that Kuroka could die. What Allan-san could do to heal Kuroka was to remove the substances little by little by applying his healing magic to Kuroka every day, but that's where the complication lies.

Allan-san can't travel to the underworld every day, especially when we have to keep our relationship with Clarisse Aizawa a secret from the other nobles. Considering this and several other factors it was decided that Kuroka would live in Clarisse Aizawa's house until she was fully recovered. Although Shirone-chan was a little sad not to be able to go with her sister, she understands that this is for Kuroka's well being.

Kuroka also sends us a short report once a week to let us know how she is doing.

"It's a shame but I'll have to go now folks. I have to get back to the capital before the paperwork accumulates." the older brother said with a tired expression.

"But before that, Rias and Riana my dear little sisters come and give your brother a hug so I can recharge my imouto factor before returning to work." the brother said as he stretched out his arms waiting for a hug.

Seriously, he's still the same siscon he's always been, but that's also one of the positives about him.

"Onii-sama I'm not a child anymore to give hugs like that." Rias said trying to look like an adult since in the past she always asked for hugs from her dear brother.

"Perhaps next time, dear brother." I said to dear brother. I grew up too and would feel embarrassed to give a hug like that out of the blue.

When dear brother heard us, his face changed to total disbelief.

"No, it's not possible... Have you already entered the rebellious phase? No! Where did those two little sisters who always asked to be... Oh oh Grayfia it hurts." the dear brother was interrupted from his delusions when he received a tug on the cheek from Grayfia.

"I will guide you to the exit, Lord Sirzechs." Grayfia said with a composed expression as she guided my brother to the door still tugging at his cheek.

"Wait Grayfia I need to ask for my hug..." the dear brother wasn't able to finish talking when the door to the room closed as the two left the room.

"Seriously these two never change." I said with a small sigh as I had a small amused smile on my face.

*sigh* "Speaking of paperwork, I better get to my office before it piles up again. So until dinner." daddy said to us. He also gave Mom a kiss before leaving.

Mum left shortly thereafter to visit Lady Sitri for tea talk.

Now the only people left in the room are me, Rias, Akeno, Shirone-chan and Ayla.

"You don't need to hold back Akeno. If you want to ask about Akino-san then ask." I told Akeno.

Akeno was surprised by what I said.

In fact, I'd felt Akeno's gaze for a while now, and the reason for that was pretty obvious.

"She... How is Akino doing?" After a few seconds Akeno finally decided to speak.

"When I saw her a month ago she was fine, and considering the way Clarisse Aizawa treats her I doubt anything bad will happen to her." I told Akeno.

"I see" Akeno spoke with a little relief.

"Akeno, don't worry that when you two meet again you will have a lot to talk about." I said as I got up from my chair.

"Oh, I was already forgetting. Shirone-chan..." I said, calling Shirone-chan.

"Kuroka said that after finishing her treatment she will run to hug you. So don't get that sad face because she will definitely return." I said to Shirone-chan.

"So guys, I'm leaving now." I said as I left the room.

SCENE CHANGE

THIRD PERSON POV

"A swordsman's tournament?" Allan asked as he looked at the brochure that was delivered to him.

"Exactly Allan, this tournament takes place every 2 years in our city, this tournament allows any style of sword whether western or eastern." Clarisse was explaining to Allan.

"I think it will be good if you face different types of swordsmen to gain sword experience, so I want you to register for this tournament as a participant." Clarisse spoke to Allan.

"Alright Aunt Clarisse I'll join this tor-" Allan wasn't able to finish speaking when a loud voice heard in the living room of their house.

"YOU DAMN CAT! REPEAT THIS IF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE."

When Allan and Clarisse turned to see what was happening they saw Akino running after Kuroka.

During the chase Kuroka had a playful smile while Akino was all red in the face and embarrassed, both of them were wrapped in towels and a little wet.

When they arrived in the room Akino reached out to catch Kuroka but she dodged it easily but due to Kuroka's foot is still a little wet she ended up slipping on the floor.

Kuroka tried to grab anything to keep from falling to the floor, so she ended up holding the towel that covered Akino, the towel couldn't stop Kuroka from falling to the floor and as a consequence of that...

Akino was completely naked.

"Hehe" Clarisse let out a little giggle, already predicting that a fun scene would come.

When Allan was red in the face. Although Allan has seen Akino in her underwear several times, it's the first time he's seen her completely naked.

"Oh God thank you so much for this wonderful view." Allan thanked him in his mind.

When Akino noticed Allan's gaze she just...

"DON'T LOOK YOU IDIOT!" she screamed as she slapped Allan's face coated with holy lightning.
