Chapter 6: Saving Akeno Himejima

Toshiro along side Okita Souji and Rias were hiding in forest nearby the Himejima shrine that housed the queen candidate for Rias. They had arrived couple days earlier and visited the shrine to make friends with Akeno, while Toshiro tried to negotiate with Shuri to allow her to join Rias peerage Rias had been playing with Akeno, Toshiro was talking with Shuri about taking both of them under their protection while the Grigori cleans the faction of infested traitors sure they won't see Barakiel for a while but it's better than being dead. "Let's say I belive you and go with you guys to the underworld while allowing your sister to take my daughter as her queen what's to stop you from doing unspeakable things to her or hold us hostage?" Shuri asked "We can write a contract in our Gremory Household name to not force or hurt you guys if that's what your worried about Shuri please think about this offer because it would be very painful for a child to not only lose her mother but hate her father due to not being able to save them from a tragedy marching it's way to your doorstep, yes my kind in the majority are scum but so are humans and the rest of the factions people like my sister who view their peerage as family are few sure you won't see your husband for a while but it's better than being dead." Toshiro said "I shall think about your proposal in the coming days and make my decision then." Shuri said with a serious tone which left no way to continue the conversation, Toshiro could only sigh " Well regardless here's my devil summons which will summon me if you make up your mind thanks for your time and hospitality Shuri." After leaving they decided to watch over the shrine until either Shuri says okay or they get attacked by the fallen angels and Himejima family.

After the 3rd day a barrier was launched locking everyone inside the shrine so Toshiro and Rias arrived to the shrine while Okita kept the others outside the shrine where Shuri was about to get attacked. Toshiro used Flash step then used Judecca "Water Breath: 3rd Form Flowing Dance"

The man didn't have a chance to yell or react to the incoming katana, the man collapsed in the room while Rias started helping heal Shuri while Toshiro finished the other attack with " Hado #90 Kurohitsugi" Once Toshiro noticed Okita had returned he turned around to face Shuri who was holding Akeno who was crying in her arms scared. "So Shuri have you made up your mind with Akeno becoming Rias queen we can get you out of here with worrying about the Himejimas and Fallen at your door step?" Akeno looked at Toshiro "If I become Rias Queen will you protect mama and help become stronger?" Shuri who heard this glanced at Akeno in surprise, normally her daughter would be quite but it appears what happened tonight did influence her.

'She really is his daughter'

Toshiro smiled at her you have to ask Rias who will be your king.

"Yes Akeno become my queen and I shall make you stronger while protecting your mother this is my vow on my name and bloodline, you might not know but Big brother here and my other brother are the strongest of there generations."

"Please make me your queen Rias I don't want to rely on Papa who wasn't here? Even mama's family attacked us! I don't want to lose mama then I will join you Rias." Akeno said with conviction.

"Heed my command, I Rias Gremory will have you reborn as my kin. Rise up, my Queen" Rias said as her Queen piece went into Akeno. "Welcome to my peerage and family Akeno, and Shuri-san I promise you on the honor and as the princess of Gremory that I will protect both of you. I will make sure you can meet Barakiel." Rias said with confidence.

Afterwards we burned down the shrine and teleported back into the underworld where Akeno and Shuri met the rest of the family which helped since Shuri hit it off with mother and Grayfia.

I started to prepare for my training adventure while preparing Sona a goodbye present which was a ring which I called Promise it helped with demonic energy regeneration, while also erecting a very strong barrier if her life is ever in danger while also letting me know her position. I also prepared her some earrings that help her mind stay refreshed stress free.

Toshiro walked into his father's study to announce his departure which wasn't to much a surprise so Toshiro and his father gathered the family to say goodbye while promising to return when Grayfia goes into labor. After hugging his mother kissing her on the cheek same with Rias and Grayfia he said goodbye once more before stepping into the magic circle not before Sirzechs had his bishop MacGregor tail, Toshiro from the shadows as much as he trust his little brother he'd rather be safe than sorry.

After teleporting in alleyway next to the airport Toshiro walked into the tokyo airport with his ticket to Rome to visit the the area around the Vatican to find his first knight and peerage member before she's picked up by the chruch after she's kicked out of the orphanage she stays at for awakening her sacred gear when she was about to get assaulted by a stray devil. After boarding the plane he relaxed while preparing to use his Divine Harem System to also summon the rest of his peerage after he gets Jeanne as his knight the sooner his peerage is complete the sooner they can practice tactics while also helping him become stronger in preparation for having rating games. Since Millicas will become the heir while he focuses on his own business plan. After landing in Rome Toshiro made his way to the hotel he booked a room at after that he set up talismans for detection and soundproof, once everything was set up Toshiro visited the local library while walking up to the librarian. "Excuse miss I wondering if you have a map of the local orphanage here in room, you see I'm trying to find my cousin who was seen in an orphanage here in room I just wasn't told which one." The libiran printed out the map which meant he could begin his hunt tomorrow.
