Fight the Reds / mission and Rias' purpose

Daniele pov 

My feet slid back as I resisted the pink missile that hit my stomach. After sliding for about 1 meter, I quickly turned myself around and balanced the destructive missile while making a full turn and released it. 

"Are you trying to rip my stomach apart?"

"Hello Dany-tan!"

"Don't ignore my pain Levia-tan, it really hurts!!"

I said while patting my belly, it's not nice for someone who has exceeded Maou Class to hit my belly directly!

"Sorry Dany-tan, I was just excited since we haven't seen each other in a while."

"....and you decided to make up for it by destroying my stomach?"

".....Te-he"

Don't say 'Te-he' to me!

I cupped my face as I sighed

"Never mind, why did you suddenly come to see me? "

"Mama Gremory wanted me to take you for the groom training you agreed on."

Mama Gremory? Probably Venelana 

When my gaze turned to Vasco, he patted my shoulder with his big hand and smiled. 

"Let me see you, Dany."

Okay let me ask Griselda 

Griselda 

"Okay, hurry up."

"Wait, seriously, I know I've been taking a lot of time off lately--"

"That's enough, it's for your future, go and learn well"

She smiled and pushed me out of the room. What the hell

"Okay, I'll let the girls know too."

Xenovia 

"It suits me "

Irina

"Take your time and learn well, Darling. 

Asia

"Do your best, Dany-san."

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, are you a little too cooperative? Is groom training that important to you and why are your eyes sparkling!?

Finally, I went to Serafall with no expression. 

"Okay, let's go."

"Then~~~ now!!!!"

We were suddenly engulfed by light as Blue Demonic Power Circle opened up beneath us. 

------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Underworld - Gremory Ruins

We came to an interesting temple-like place with the light, but judging by the demonic power in the air, we are in the underworld... where the hell is this place? 

As if answering my curiosity, a voice came from behind. 

"If you're wondering, these are private ruins belonging to the Gremory Clan, İts existed since the time of the first Gremory. "

Gremory Ruins...I think this is where Rias and Issei proved their relationship or something, I don't remember exactly 

"Thank you for the explanation, Ms. Gremory."

"Still too formal~"

I scratched the back of my head as she told me sarcastically

"So why here?"

"Well, I'm going to need your help later"

"Okay, I'll see you around Dany-tan, I gotta go too!"

Serafall ran away without looking back while shaking her hand 

Where is she going? 

"If you're wondering about Sera, my son and his friends are going to do a few things together"

"I understand "

"Then let's go"

With her showing me the way, we headed back 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First part – Dance

Venelana had one hand on my shoulder and the other was holding my hand 

"Now you have to put your other hand on my waist."

Is this.... necessary?

"Come on~ It's very rude to keep a lady waiting."

Finally, I sighed and put my hand on her waist as I gave in to her request. She really doesn't look like a woman who gave birth to two child . 

"Okay, one - two, one - two, one - two "

As we walked step by step, I tried to create as much distance between us as I could without drawing attention to myself, I can't do it if you get too close, her breasts ----

When the dance was finally over I breathed a sigh of relief 

"I'm surprised, you seem to have enough background on this subject already"

"Well~~---"

Flashback 

Griselda stood before us with a retractable iron bar in her hand. 

"You, as Brave Saints, will represent Lady Gabriel and Lord Michael, naturally you will attend the parties, let's begin the lesson"

She hit the bar into her other hand while making a 'Snap!' sound 

End of flashback 

"-- I had a good teacher "

"I understand and your teacher taught you really well"

As I finally relaxed, her next words made me stiffen. 

"By the way, it was a sweet move to minimize contact between us, but you shouldn't be so open to a lady."

....Goddamn 

 I shouldn't have been caught!

Second part - ornaments and decorations

"Naturally, everything at the wedding has to be close to perfect, now Daniele, can you please tell me the colors of these two napkins on the table?"

Venelana pointed to the two napkins on the round table in front of her, but no matter how you look at them.....

"White and...white—ow!"

Before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly felt a light blow to my head. 

As I looked at the criminal, Venelana, who had a very small PoD sphere on the tip of her index finger, smiled innocently at me. 

"Wrong, these will be snow white and milk white"

"...You're kidding, right?"

The smile she gives definitely says she's not joking...

Third part - accompaniment and clothing 

"Naturally, a Groom should look good in hair and clothing style, let's try the current outfit"

While Venelana clapped her hands, several maid brought out racks with many suits hanging on them. 

"Is this really necessary?"

My voice was almost in a pleading tone. 

"Yes~~"

 I should never have accepted this!!!!

I lost count of how many outfit changes I've had since that point.

"Well it should be over by now, Daniele, please follow me and see what my stupid son and his friends are doing"

The only person who can call them like that is probably you, you scary woman, you are a Sadist in a different way too!!!

"Fufu~~ Did you think something bad about me?"

Does she read minds too!?

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirzech Gremory

Ajuka Astaroth 

Serafal Sitri

Falbium Glasya-Labolas

These are the new Satans that have replaced the old four Satans. 

These four have surpassed their predecessors and are terrifyingly powerful, starting with Sirzech and Ajuka, who are terrifyingly powerful in the top 10. 

And now these four Satans are playing with poker cards on the ground in front of me... in their tokusatsu outfits. (Super sentai / Power Rangers etc.)

....am I creating super weapons because of these guys? 

[.....Am I worried about these guys? ]

<I feel so inferior, Regulus>

[Me too, so let's not bring this up again]

<Agreed >

Even though I was consoling myself in my mind, my blank stare at these guys remained the same 

*Clap* 

At that moment, Venelana next to me clapped her hands and drew attention 

"Now now, kids, you shouldn't act like this in front of the new generation."

"Who are you talking about?"

Red sentai stood up 

You have to be kidding me 

''Fuhahaha! We are the mysterious Maou…" As he shouted, he quickly got hit on the head by the person in yellow who had a harisen in her hand.

You too Grayfia, your character is crashing!!!

"Sorry, sorry. From the start then! We are the Satan Squadron, Satan-Rangers! I am their leader, Satan-Red!"

So Sirzech 

"Satan-Blue!"

Sounds like Ajuka

"I can't be bothered but I'm Satan-Green."

Are you still awake, Falbium? 

"Levi-ta… I mean, I'm Satan-Pink "

You know you were blast out there 

"…Ha. Ummmm, I'm Satan-Yellow." They all introduced themselves as they took another pose which was then followed by explosion behind them. 

I took a deep breath and turned around 

"Enjoy"

Suddenly something grabbed my arm 

"Please let go of my arm, Miss Gremory."

"But you promised you would help me with something."

"*sigh* First of all, what exactly is going on here?"

"Well, let me explain then."

According to Venelana's explanation, this is a place to test Issei and Rias' relatives ( I remembered correctly), they will apply different tests to them. 

"Okay, but what is my role here?"

When I pointed to myself, Venelana smiled brightly for some reason. 

 --------------------------------------------------------------------

Third person pov 

Issei and Rias were walking together when they entered

However, Rias couldn't help but pat her head on the upcoming headache. 

'I told them that we weren't like that, but why do they think I'm embarrassed and in denial!? They still won't let me go if I don't do it, for Maou's sake my dad and brother are so annoying!'

When they finally entered, suddenly five people dressed in costumes and posing ridiculously in front of them with explosion 

After that, they went through the tests as Venelana explained, however, Rias strangely didn't seem to be there. 

The first test was a dance test administered by Satan-pink 

They didn't have much difficulty

 after the dance they moved on to the next test while Rias helped Issei when he got stuck. 

The second test was a table manners test administered by Satan-Blue 

Rias did it perfectly, but Issei made a small noise and got a point deduction, but he still passed with a high score, Rias gently patted Issei's head while praising him. 

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Audience room 

Daniele pov 

We were currently sitting on the couch watching their progress, next to me were Sirzech, Serafall and Venelana, Ajuka left for the next test now

"What do you think, Dany-tan?"

Serafall asked as she threw herself on my back. 

"What do you mean, they look more like a sister and brother than a couple?"

"Yeah, I thought the same thing."

She said as she rested her chin on my shoulder .Seriously she has zero sense of personal space, although that's part of her charm 

"Don't think like that, their relationship may be complicated for now but they are definitely madly in love with each other, I have a good eye for such things"

Sirzech said as he pointed to himself, causing Grayfia behind him to sigh. 

Venelana also palmed her face...you're in trouble too 

"Even though I told you and Zeo not to rush, of course you didn't listen"

His mother's glare seemed to make Sirzech shiver slightly. 

"Come on mom~ this is for our Ria-tan's sake~"

"Oh, the next test is starting"

Serafall reached over my shoulder and pointed at the screen. 

The next test was the written exam

I wonder what kind of exam

"Would you like to try?"

"What?"

When I returned, Venelana was handing me a piece of paper, 

"I got a copy of Ajuka's exam, you seem curious why don't you try it "

"This...how should I say---"

"Is Dany-tan afraid of failure?"

I felt a vein in my forehead throb at Serafall's slightly playful question.

"Please give me the paper" 

8 minutes later 

"Here "

When I handed the paper over, Serafall and Venelanaexamined it with great interest, why were Sirzech and Grayfia looking at it too???

"Dany-tan, why is the 'Forneus' section in the extinct pillar written in a particularly better handwriting? "

"My hand slipped"

I said it without shame

"It's more like you're implying something hmm~~"

I whistled and looked away at Venelana's words 

In any case, I am a man who finished a pillar family ~~

Luckily most of the questions were things I knew

Venelana then allowed the paper to disappear into the opening magic circle. 

"My results..."

"You don't need to worry"

Is this woman planning something?

"Tell me, Dany-tan, are you free tomorrow? "

"Let's see.....yes, it should be"

"Yes! Then will you come to Kyoto with me?"

Serafall asked as she held my arm, her eyes shining. 

"Why?"

"I'm going to Kyoto to make a deal with the Youkai, and I need a bodyguard. So~~ what do you say! "

Well, it would be nice to see Yasaka and Kunou 

"It suits me "

"This is it!!"

Serafall suddenly pulled me away and kissed me on the cheek with joy before jumping back and humming happily.

This girl...she's really moving at her own timeline

"Well, it's your turn, Daniele "

I looked at the duo that went to the final stage upon Sirzech's question. 

So let's get started too 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Third person pov 

Rias and the others arrived at the fourth exam place, there was Rias who was shocked to see the four Satans there and Issei who sighed....yes, Rias couldn't figure out their identities. 

"So now is your final test of strength and courage"

"I will be your rival."

Along with Sirzech's voice, a voice rose from the top of the ruins 

There was a cape waving 

There was a person wearing a black suit with a white bow tie and shirt. 

He wore a long hat and a mask covering his eyes. 

[.....why]

<I seriously don't want to wear a Ranger tights, and hey, tuxedo mask is dream for many kids at some point>

"Under the purple sky of the underworld, I will be your rival "

Ignoring Serafall's 'kyaa's' in the background, Daniele looked at the two in front of her. 

"Now ---"

"Dany?"

Daniele pulled himself together as Rias's voice nearly made his falling. 

"Why are you wearing that?"

"..."

'You don't know them but you know me for the first moment, seriously... discrimination is being made!'

"I don't know what you're talking about, Gremory princess, My name is Tuxedo mask .Here I come, [Tuxedo Rose Rain] "

Tuxedo mask created roses from his light power and threw them at the duo 

{Welsh Dragon,Balance Breaker }

While Rias destroyed some of them with PoD, Issei in his armor quickly caught Rias out of the attack area. 

"Damn it, Dany!"

They dodged the attacks while Rias cursed Daniele 

"Issei, go ahead, I support you from behind"

"Okay Buchou. "

{Boost, Boost Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost}

With successive increases, Issei concentrated the Red Demonic power ball in front of him

"Dragon Shot!"

"Hmph then I'll respond with my own attack , [Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber]"

Tuxedo Mask's Holy Power attack fired from his hand and Issei's Dragon Shot collided, canceling each other out and creating a smoke screen 

Tuxedo Mask leaps to the right as he dodges the black-red energy coming from the smoke 

But he faced Issei, who reached the point he was running to with the support of the pushers.

"Take this, Riajuu!"

"Hmph! Naive!"

He placed his left hand on his elbow from behind while his right hand went around the front and threw Issei 

While he was about to chase after Issei who was balancing himself without hitting the ground, Rias' PoD attacks blocked his path once again. 

"We can't leave everything to Buchou, come on Ddraig!"

{Okay, so let's see if it happens this time}

{Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost}

Doubling his strength again and again, Issei rushed forward to attempt a new attack. 

"Looks like you're not learning, then! [Tuxedo Tempest Fist](Crushing Fist of Majestic Winds)"

However, while the attack fell on his chest, Issei did nothing in defense.

{Transfer!}

The fist only opened a crack in his chest armor as Issei's body was supported by the red aura. 

At that moment, Issei's left hand placed in front of Tuxedo Mask's chest and created a Dragon Shot right there!!!

{Boost, Boost, Boost}

{Transfer!}

Taking the Dragon Shot from close range, Tuxedo Mask flew towards the ruins 

{Don't let your guard down, he probably fine}

Daniele pov 

It hurts a little 

I threw my shoulders as I lifted myself up from the collapsed wall, my clothes were torn in a few places, what a shame 

[You could have been naked if your body wasn't covered in Touki at that point]

That's right, I used Touki before Issei's attack hit me, which balanced the damage 

"New fighting style?"

I asked Issei on the alert across from me, I wonder if he was on his own alert or if Ddraig recommended it. 

"I tried it after I saw you and Vali combining your fighting style with Longinus. "

"Good for you"

I was being sincere, it's not a bad thing to take something from those who are better than you . Although ---

"Will your body handle this?"

Issei suddenly knelt down to prove my words, Vali and I's fighting style has developed with us since we were kids, we are aware of our limits, it's impossible for someone who has learned to do it so easily. 

"Hahaha....still not enough, but I'll continue anyway"

{Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost}

Not willing to stand still while he did multiple Boosts in a row, I created the fastest possible light constructs, the Light Spears.

{Explosion!}

 Eight light spears flew towards Issei who had not yet digested the power increase, but several of them were shattered by the red-black demonic energy that flew at them in an instant. 

The rest barely resisted the many barriers made by the red-haired princess standing in front of Issei 

"Rias"

"Don't be so surprised, I will naturally protect my precious servant ."

"Just servant?"

"Of course not --"

So she still has feelings for------

"My peerage is my precious family"

?????

{Transfer!}

While I was in a daze, Issei finally injected the accumulated power into the Dragon Shot projectile he created in front of him. 

The red energy sphere was now crackling with unbalanced force, as red aura lightning flashed around it.

However, his body can't handle that much. 

The Scale mail on Issei's body shattered in accordance with my words and he was about to kneel down with shaking legs when he was held upright by Rias. 

They both looked at me with determined eyes. 

<I felt like the bad guy>

[That energy has exceeded the high class, It's clear that they've put everything into this. If we escape, we'll win.]

<Well, it's rude to completely hold back against people who give their all, let's break it down directly>

[*chuckle* I like you so much at times like this]

With my lips curling upwards, I manifested Regulus Nemea with the familiar grip in my hand. 

"You've both gotten stronger, but I'm not standing still either!"

At that moment Touki exploded around me, it wasn't the usual transparent bright white, no this was the Gold-Purple Touki!!!!

I didn't do all that training(tortures) in vain!!!!!!

I lifted the axe into the air as the aftershock force spread wind force around 

"Get ready now, [Tuxedo Axe]"

[Is you still continuing with this?!?]

I grinned at the devastating feeling coming towards me as Issei, supported by Rias, stood up and hit the unstable Dragon Shot projectile with his Boosted Gear.

As expected, the dragon aura is quite cruel, but 

"Far from being adequate!"

As I swung the axe directly at the attack, the Dragon Shot split cleanly in two, splitting into two pieces behind me

I used Purple-gold Touki's physical boost to catch the two who were running out of energy and about to collapse on the ground. 

"You've both gotten really strong."

I said while holding both of them by the shoulders, it was really fun

"At least enter the Balance Breaker, you bastard."

Rias didn't say anything and just leaned her head on my shoulder while Issei mumbled with a tired expression. 

By the way, when we say attack 

...there's no one behind me, right? 

I slowly turned around after the explosion hit me from behind...yes, it was the ruins of the Gremory Ruins 

Ha! It rhymes 

.....it's definitely not my fault and I won't pay

"Dany-----taaaaaaaan!!!!!!"

As I was looking at the destruction, the pink missile hit the side and threw me into the corner as it hit me a second time. 

"What are these clothes, where can I find them, would you act in my movie with these, why are my Mahou Shoujou senses ringing when I see this!!!!"

....did I mention that there is no Sailor Moon in this world... Yeah, I was surprised too 

And Levia-tan? What are Mahou Shoujou senses? Are you radar?

"That was a good fight, thank you Daniele for putting up with my mother's selfishness"

I looked at Sirzech who thanked me. 

Sirzech also tilted his head curiously as if he felt my gaze. 

"Do you have a request from me? "

"It depends, is your demonic power still full?"

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

"That's a terrible idea, Dany-tan."

"I agree with Leviathan-sama, Daniele, this is stupidly unnecessary"

"No, why are you two so excited, what did I do?"

"Don't tell me what I did---"

"What do you think you did –""

"""Why are you fighting with Nii-sama/Sirzech-chan!!"""

".....meh"

"Don't say me 'meh'!"

"Bad Dany-tan is bad"

While Rias was scolding me, Serafall hit me with Harisen, which came out of nowhere, seriously why are you so excited? 

"Seriously, both of you should stop, I know my opponent is stronger, that's the goal, why would I challenge someone weaker than me to a fight? "

The two of them FINALLY gave in to my stubbornness and went to sit next to each other.

Serafall looked at me with her cheeks puffed out while Rias crossed her arms with an impatient expression and tapped her arm with her finger.

Seriously, both of them are so exaggerating

[They do have a point or two though. That thing is a monster.]

<I know, that's why I want it, how far can push a being at the top while have chance>

[...let's do our best partner]

<Absolutely >

"Okay, let's get started, shall we?"

Sirzech spoke on the other side, he was wearing a black t-shirt and black sweatpants, he was dressed casually for a sparring match, I changed into an exorcist outfit for me

This is not a situation where I can joke, I'll go straight to it 

I manifested Regulus Nemea and started chanting quickly

<<My other self>>

<<you, king of the lions, answer my desire and become one with me>>

"Balance Breaker]

"Regulus Armorum Rex"

† Scathach, who rules the land of shadows,

Give into my hand 17 barbed demonic spears.

Lightning Spear Throw †

As 17 golden lightning spears charged towards him at breakneck speeds, Sirzech didn't panic, he simply extended his hand and created an ordinary defensive circle, even though it was an ordinary magic circle with the abnormal Demonic power supporting it, the spears could not break through the barrier

......I didn't expect it to break anyway 

[Accel]

My purple-gold Touki also exploded at the same time 

I swung the axe at close range as I appeared next to Sirzech with a sudden speed boost

As he dodged with only minimal effort, the lion print on the axe glowed, revealing Regulus.

Regulus' claw appeared right where Sirzech was dodged and swung at Sirzech while glowing with a golden aura. 

Sirzech suddenly raised his arm and blocked it while deflected the claw

I suddenly slid back while blocking the kick he threw at me with his left leg. 

Regulus also jumped back towards the other side 

< How reliable is the sturdiness of axe?>

[Guaranteed]

I released Touki 

[Holy Drive]

†Come, spirits of air and lightning!

Let the Southern Storm Blow With Lightning.

Jupiter's Lightning Storm!†

As the intertwined attributes of Wind and Lightning advance towards Sirzech with a devastating attack 

"Then I'll be a little more serious too 'Ruin the Extinct' "

A small sphere of concentrated PoD collided with my attack and shattered it... no, erased it from existence

He also parried Regulus' attacks at the same time. 

Continue 

†Magic Arrows,Series of Fire †

Just as 40 fireballs turned into arrows and shot at Sirzech, the aforementioned Red Satan simply reached out and sent a PoD wave that destroyed all arrows

At that moment I threw Regulus Nemea 

The axe that passed through Sirzech's abnormal wave of destruction spun at extreme speed and flew towards Sirzech's body, which showed a surprised expression for the first time. 

Sirzech still survived even though a lock of his hair was torn out 

†Switcheroo†

While changing our place with an axe, I quickly followed him 

A melee began my fist were covered in Holy power

[Holy Fist ]

When Sirzech directed his left fist to the left 

Regulus appeared between them, axe in hand, and swung at him 

A sphere of destruction appeared to Sirzech's right, collided with the axe and blocked the attack, I did not stand idly by 

†Come from the void, oh thunder and cut down my enemy!

Axe of God!†

As I waved my hand, the lightning axe went to Sirzech

Attack blocked by defensive circle 

†Switcheroo†

In my place, Regulus in human form appeared, holding Regulus Nemea with an extreme golden aura in his hand, and attacked the shield with all his might.

With a cracking sound, the shield actually shattered, and at that moment Sirzech saw me behind him, my right arm Holy and Destructive Power spinning nad my left arm armor is now much thicker

[Nemean Axle --- ver. Crushing Fist of Majestic Cherry Blossoms (Ōka Hōken) ]

Added light power in addition to Holy and Destructive, this could be my strongest fist 

At that moment, when my fist was about to hit Sirzech , all I saw was... only black-red.

As my attack was torn apart, I felt like death was coming for me, but I quickly came to my senses and threw myself to the ground. 

As I rolled on the ground I steadied myself and looked at my right arm...Your armor was lost 

When I looked at Sirzech, his left arm was missing, instead his arm had turned into a black-red demonic power. 

Is it a humanoid PoD, so can he also perform partial transition?

"I gave up"

I've seen what I need to see, I still have a long way to go 

[Are you okay, partner?]

I grabbed Regulus' hand and stood up. 

"I'm fine partner, I'm just... tired "

[It looks like it's come out of its shell, this is what I'm talking about, partner, this thing can't even be called alive]

Regulus said as he spoke in my mind 

"Nii-sama your arm....what is it"

She said while looking at his hand, there was a small tone of fear in her voice, I didn't blame her, that hand gives a scary feeling like it's destroying everything . But~~

I grinned at Sirzech who stiffened at Rias' question. 

Come on, explain to she

"This is.....my special and secret move, PoD True Body ! It completely covers some of me with PoD!"

[Liar!]

<Liar! >

When I looked at the others, especially Venelana, she were laughing at this situation while Serafall and the other three Satans were grinning.

Suddenly, the destructive power in his hand began to spread as Sirzech grabbed his own shoulder and frowned as the PoD turned into a normal hand. 

[So did you get your wanted?]

<Well, even though I didn't win, felt like touched that threshold>

Well, now that you've taken my fight, I can go home.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why am I still here? 

I thought as I ate dinner at the Gremory mansion. 

Why don't anyone say anything... When can I go?

My eyes went straight to Rias who was engrossed in her food, she was eating tiramisu while staring blankly at the plate. 

".....Rias...shhh.....Rias!"

I called out to her in a whisper because everyone was engrossed in eating, but she didn't even look at me. 

While I felt a ticking in my forehead, I reduced the presence as much as possible with senjutsu and created an ice ball at the tip of my foot under the table.....I threw it to Rias 

When Rias put the cake in her mouth, the shock of the moment caused her to bite the fork, her eyes closing tightly as tears welled up in her eyes. 

When she opened her eyes, she looked at me with surprise, but it immediately changed to an angry expression. 

'What are you doing!?!'(implied by her eyes)

I shrugged 

As I extended my hand from below, a ball of light shot towards Rias. 

When I nodded to Rias, Rias slowly reached out from under the table and pretended to brush her hair behind her ear while lifting the thing in her hand towards her head. 

I whispered as she put on the magic earpiece 

"Why am I here?" (whispering)

"I don't know, ask my mother" (whispering)

"There's no way, your mother is a dangerous woman" (whispering) 

"What are you talking about?????"(Whispering)

"Don't talk without knowing what I went through today! That woman is a different kind of Sadist than Griselda!"(Whispering)

While we were arguing, Regulus' voice suddenly rang in my mind. 

[You know you forgot to keep your presence hidden about five minutes ago, right? ]

At that moment I stiffened, when I slowly moved my head to the other side of the table there was Issei who didn't understand what was happening, Sirzech and Zeoticus who with a strange expression, Venelana with a bright smile. 

...they're all looking at us, wait why was Grayfia lightly smiling too, what's going on!?

Rias why are you looking down with a red face, I'm starting to feel embarrassed too!

I was finally able to finish the meal in silence.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third person pov 

Rias looked at Daniele's profile with a strange feeling

He just left but why is there a strange feeling of loss 

"Hmm Daniele was doing pretty well today."

Hearing her mother's voice, Rias turned and looked at her with slight suspicion. 

"Why did you invite Dany, mom? I want the real reason."

"But I already told you the real reason, honey, it was really for 'groom training' after all ---"

Venelana put her hand on her chest and... pulled out a piece of paper from her cleavage

Rias wasn't surprised at all, after all this was the house she was born in, she'd seen stranger things too. 

When she took the paper, she looked at it for a while, but suddenly her cheeks turned bright red, and the redness spread to her ears, turning into the same color as her hair. 

"--My expectations were completely completed ~~~"

"I....this....thing...mom!!!"

As for what is written on paper 

 ------------------------------------------------------------------

Daniele Berti 

Dance = ✓

History and information = ✓

Table manners = ✓

Power and potential – courage = ✓✓✓

Successful ★★★★★

 -------------------------------------------------------------------

Rias looked at the paper for a while and then took a breath to calm herself down when something came to mind.

"Mother, please don't interfere with Dany. I...want to handle this myself."

Venalana smiled at her daughter 

'It's truly priceless for a mother to see her child grow as an individual. '

"Also, mom, you have to do something for me"

Rias looked determinedly into Venelana's purple eyes. 

----------------------------------------------------------------- 

Daniele pov

"Why did you call us, Griselda?"

As soon as I returned to the Church, Griselda called me and the girls (Via , Irina, Asia , Rossweisse)

"We have a mission"

We prepared on Griselda's words, after all we haven't been on a mission in a while, the most nervous of us was probably Rossweisse after all it was her first mission 

"What's the mission, Griselda?"

"I, Dany and Kiyotora will go on the mission. Dulio will meet us there later."

"Where to Griselda-san?"

Griselda looked directly at me as Asia raised her hand and asked 

"Serafall Leviathan will go to Kyoto Youkai for peace treaty, we will go to Five Families "

This is understandable, Youkai are Japan's devils while Onmyoji and the Five Families are Japan's church and exorcists.

"Is there a reason why I should be involved in particular?"

This was the point that really caught my attention.Why specifically me? Kiyotora is a member of the five families. 

"The Kanto Yokai will be there along with the five families.We will also mediate between them."

Ooohhhh~~ okay now I get it~~ 

"I have connections to both sides, Suzaku and Seiryu for the five families, Nurarihyon for the Youkai"

Griselda nodded in agreement. 

But wait a second---

"Griselda, I promised to accompany Levia-tan. "

"I know about this, Governor General Azazel asked me if I could provide additional assistance, You four will go to Kyoto, remember, your mission is important, like protecting the ambassador .Rossweisse, you have experience as a bodyguard, you have the leadership role here"

"I-Is this good?"

"Of course I have high expectations from you"

Well, there's nothing to do, I have to inform Serafall when I have a spare moment.

"So when do we go?"

Griselda smiled at my question. 

"For us, the moment you start and finish preparing... hurry up"

Sorry Levia-tan it looks like I can't report back in my defense...it's Griselda's fault

Rias pov 

I was walking down the long corridor, servants with respectful expressions were wandering around, the atmosphere was serious and clearly not my home.

But I can't stop now 

While watching the fight between Dany and Nii-sama, I realized... I can't be like my older brother.

Dany's slightly worried look at my brother's arm

The difference between me and my brother is not power, it is existence. I... I... can't be like my brother. 

So I have to make my own way, to stand by 'him'

So my brother's help is useless to get what I'm looking for, and it's not fast enough for my mother. 

When I got to the giant ornate door, I took a breath and reached out and knocked on the door. 

".....Come in"

I opened the door following the harsh sound coming from inside, and as soon as the man inside's eyes fell on me, a feeling of pressure appeared. 

This was not pressure from power, this was pressure from someone in a higher position ...a king.

He was a man with black hair and violet eyes, almost the definition of the word noble in the book.

That person was the leader of the nobles in the underworld, his political power is so great that Satan, including my brother, can be compared to him alone. 

"Grandfather"

I held one corner of the dress I was wearing while the other hand was on my chest and I gave the noble salute. 

 he is my grandfather

"I was surprised when Vene called me suddenly. After all, you rarely come to visit, never alone."

"I need your help"

But most importantly, he is the ancestor of the Power of Destruction and the one who has the most knowledge about it. 

He was...Zekram Bael 

"Interesting, come in, I'll think about it"

I will not follow my brother's path, I will create my own 'destruction'
