"Gulp... eating a crow is not good for health." Azazel cracked an disappointing Joke as he was now surrounded by three mighty creatures around him.
Hope shook his head at Azazel while releasing an exhausted heavy breath, "Well, I'm feeling very tired from all this." speaking this, he looked at Red, "Seems like you're enjoying, but can we go now?"
Red nodded in response, "Sure." he removed his arm from Azazel's shoulder and created a Portal without wasting a second, "Please, y'all may enter." he gestured them to enter inside the portal which connected straight to the living room.
Azazel hesitated if he should enter this thing or not, but a single glance from Great Red was enough to make him enter the Portal without uttering a single word, so after Hope and Ophis walked inside, so did he do the same with Red following up from behind.
Hope showed up in the living room and he saw the other residents of this house had came back as they were sitting on the couch around the depressed Rias to alleviate her sorrows, Hope also noticed that everyone was back but except one person.
"Where is Ise?" he asked curiously as he can't spot him in the room.
Rias who was till now covering her teary face with her both hands, shifted her gaze at Hope with a deadly stare, "Don't you dare take his name!" shouted Rias at Hope.
[quatz- Partner this too much even if she's your friend, she's just taking the advantage of your tolerance to abuse you.]
Hope ignored quatz as he didn't hear him properly since he had already walked out to Rias, and as he reached, Hope clasped her face cheeks with his right hand, "Oi.. Oi.. Don't you go yelling around at me, I'm not Sirzechs nor your 'now-Gay-Issei' to tolerate this spoiled behavior of yours." Hoped said with a hint of irritated tone in his voice.
Although being furious, he still decided to explain Rias straight faced about her faults, or scolding you can say, "Did he ever say he loves you? huh??!" he slapped Rias's face and clutch her cheeks again.
"don't go assuming shitty things for your own selfsatisfaction with your retarted brain, Issei never once stated that he has feelings for you." Hope made sure to fit his words properly in her brain, "You were the one who kept offering your breasts to your Servant as an reward for his achievements." The harsh truths for Rias for sure were bitter.
Ultear saw this attitude of Hope and started sweat dropping all over her body, though she was not alone in this was the state of everyone, even Red was intimated at the moment and they all decided to remain silent until all of this punishment was over.
Azazel slowly slipped out his way from the living room, since he had to contact a person who's sister might die today by an normal human's hand.
Rias looked back at Hope with her now red cheeks hurting from his clutches and slaps, Hope slapped her again and Rias endured it silently, because he was not even using a little bit of his force behind his slaps but it still, was hurting Rias for some reason, "But he wanted to feel my breasts! then doesn't this means he's interested in me?!" Rias refuted back without getting frightened by Hope, she knew Hope won't hurt her in the least.
[quatz- I won't warrant for your safety, red head. since Partner is not like he looks.
Hope- though the line was a tad cool, but still shuddup.]
Hope leaned closer to Rias and stared at her eye to eye, "Many people are interested in your breasts, so why didn't you let them fondle it?" Hope stated whatever seemed obvious to him.
Rias didn't know how to answer this and only kept staring at Hope with an troubled expression, to which Hope smirked in his mind.
"I'll tell you why. . ." said Hope with a malice intended voice.
Akeno didn't wanted Hope to make her depressed friend go in despair, so she spoke up before Hope could continue, "Hope, please stop this, don't -" she was cut off.
"Let him speak it, Akeno." said Rias while still staring at Hope, 'If he's going to scold me, then I'll make him say it all!' thought Rias with a frown on her face.
Hope admired this girl's bravery for being ready to hear the bitter truth.
[quatz- At these moments, you can kiss her partner! go for it!! I'm rooting for you!
Hope- Partner, I'm not one of those who takes the advantage of someone else's weakness in thier state of dismay.
quatz- good.]
Rias was waiting for the answer and Hope seeing this gently patted her head, "sigh.. Rias, first of all, you were never attracted to Issei in this manner, you were only happy all this time since you had an famous and strong Longinus in your Peerage, and to motivate him to further get stronger, you did all this in the till now." Hope explained in a pacifying manner.
Rias had tears running down her bright red cheeks, "sniff.. but why am I feeling sad?! explain this!" she wanted to know the reason for this agitated feeling inside her.
Hope flicked his finger on Rias's forehead before standing straight infront of her, "Idiot, you are just depressed that you were used all this time for no reason, and for the thing that the person you trusted which is Issei, hid such an important thing from you." explained Hope, before suddenly collapsing down on the floor.
"Hope San!" Asia anxiously exclaimed.
"Hope!!"(x5)
Akeno and Ultear instinctively rushed towards Hope but the Great Red was way faster, others were only shocked from what just happened and Rias had her jaw dropped at this sudden twisted incident.
Ophis was levitating in the air when Hope fell down, and she only had a blank expression on her face whilst staring at Hope.
Great Red picked up Hope's body in his arms and looked at Akeno, "where is his room?"
Akeno and others were stunned at the moment from this question of Great Red, since he once wanted to Kill Hope if they're not wrong.
Red irritatingly clicked his tongue as he felt annoyed for getting treated like a threat, "I don't have Ill Intentions, didn't I say this already? huh?!" argued back Red for being looked upon as an dreadful person.
Akeno nodded to him as Great Red was really not hostile even once, after appearing together with Hope, "third floor." replied Akeno as she knew Red could make a Portal, so she didn't show him the way as his method is faster and effortless.
"I'll be leaving Great Red, you better take care of Hope." said Ophis and suddenly disappeared from the place, she didn't wanted to make the matter worse by staying here as she's the leader of an terrorist organization, known as 'Khaos Brigade', and this fact might become the cause of distress in other Factions with Hope.
Red created a Portal connecting to the third floor of this mansion and walked inside it, Ultear and Akeno also followed him as they were worried for Hope.
Rias didn't know if she should also go with them or not, because she was now more aggravated and started blaming herself for such things happening around her, "sniff.. hic. . hic. ." she sobbed at her impotency of mostly acting on impulse, without thinking twice on such matters and about it's results.
Asia patted Rias's back to calm her down, "It's not your fault Rias Nee-Sama, so please don't blame yourself."
"Yes Rias, this was just like a bad dream, so stop sorrowing on this matter and think about your future." Rossweisse also tried to quell Rias's depression with some pacifying words.
But, Xenovia was in some sort of her own thoughts, "But didn't the words said by Hope, were all true?" she uttered as she replayed again of the scolding which Hope gave to Rias, albeit in her mind.
hearing to this, Rias had an squeezed expression as she bit her lower lip in frustration with tears and snots all over her face, until she at last broke out, "Uwaaaaaa!! yes! he was right about everything! I hate him! very much!!" exclaimed Rias.
Irina shook her head while releasing a sigh, "Xenovia, understand the situation before speaking.." she wearily reprimanded Xenovia with an exhausted expression.
"But Hope was so cool." spoke up a White haired petite girl who was silent all this time.
...
Red laid the sleeping body of Hope on his bed and turned around just to see his Kouhai together with his Young Master's girlfriend, "He will be fine after a good sleep, so rest assured and don't disturb him." stated Red as he made a Portal, "I'll be leaving now."
Red gave a meaningful short glance at Ultear before entering the Portal, and Ultear understood what he wanted to convey.
And as Great Red left the room, Akeno crashed her plumpy ass near Hope's waist on the sofa, "What's going on.." she massaged her temple with distress, since such powerful beings were now affiliated with Hope, and knowing such people maybe good but this also brings heavy problems to deal with them.
Ultear looked at the worry wort and a warm smile appeared on her face, she appreciated such people like Akeno being around Hope as they'll always think for the betterment of him, "Don't worry Akeno San, my little brother is way stronger than he looks." said Ultear as she took a seat besides Akeno.
Akeno had some sudden doubts regarding Ultear, "Ultear San, do you know about the Supernatural world?" she asked curiously as Ultear didn't seem surprised by all this magic and stuff.
Ultear smirked at her before speaking, "Well, I'm a mage myself so magic is pretty much normal for me, although I was really surprised when the identity of Great Red was revealed." she glanced at the sleeping beauty while saying this.
"Ara Ara. . . but are you going to stay with us from now on?" Akeno wanted to know why his cousin was here.
Ultear nodded in response, "Yep, I'm going to live with him from now onwards, do you mind?" she asked politely.
Akeno giggled at Ultear's question, "Ara Ara~ Ufufu~, not in the slightest, rather I'll be very delighted to have a sister like you." she honestly felt a good vibe radiating from Ultear.
"hm. same." replied Ultear with a warm smile.
"mamma..."
"Ara Ara.."/"Oh. my." saying this, they both immediately looked at each other with an doubtful expression, but that soon turned into a grin again.
"Mamma/Mamma is/is here!!/here!!"
[quatz- sigh.. yare yare...]
