Chapter 85 This is impressive.

He didn't know how but for three of the five Devils, that story hit close enough to home.

"Yikes." Koneko was the only one who spoke.

"You can say that again, Koneko-chan. That being said, your parents do know that we do not have intercourse."

It was an unsubtle way for Issei to change the subject, signaling the story of pain and regrets was now over.

Rias was all too happy to be the victim of teasing and so she took the role gracefully.

"My parents should be aware of that. They would like to meet you and my father is not sure whether to destroy you or ask you for drinking."

"Let him know that being a Dragon, gives me a high tolerance. Plus, I have been drinking for a while."

Rias' eyes narrowed when she looked at him, with a form of disdain and disapproval.

"Legal drinking in Japan is 20."

The barking laugh was one that showed how much Issei actually thought of those laws.

"Most laws in Japan are retarded. Most of my associates used a simple rule. Old enough to kill, old enough to drink. That being said, I waited until I was fourteen for my first drink. Albion gave me one natural resistance. That being said, I drink for taste, not to get boozed."

If one drank for that reason, none of them could blame Issei for his points of view.

Rias found there was enough talk about something that none of her Peerage could indulge in and she wouldn't let Issei drink either.

"What would you ask onee-sama? I believe that you have certain requests for her."

Issei looked up at her.

"That she makes sure that you and I are committed. That no one can you take from me." His head turned to the other in the Peerage.

"The same goes for all of you. I don't want anyone else sweeping in and going after you. Another point of discussion is that I want Raynare, Kalawarner, and Mittelt safe from retaliation. I suppose you don't have an issue with that."

Rias thought about it. She had put her differences aside during the training and if she continued to do so, she could find that if things proceeded, there would be pleasure and peace. Which was better than pain and bloodshed.

"If we continue on this path, I'll find that to be something worth striving for."

Her words were final and Akeno understood what she meant. With that done, Issei found that to be good enough as an answer.

"If you ask me, none of us want to stray from that path. Now, not to sound impatient but how long before?"

The announcement spoke for them.

[We are arriving in Gremory territory. Please, remain seated until we have safely landed." They all veered up from their place while they looked outside. There were huge tracts of land in circles that more resembled major cities.

If this was Rias 'home' so to speak, he was wondering how rich the family was. Money was never something that Issei worried about.

He made a great salary and financial responsibility was something that was hammered into him from a young age.

"I have to admit, Rias. This is impressive."

Rias was happy with that compliment. Her new fiancée had to be prepared to take over this place one day.

Scene skip

When Issei stood before the house of Rias, his mouth had softly dropped open when he watched the mansion.

"I stand corrected, Rias. This is impressive."

The place had walls of polished marble that made Issei wonder if a man from the Vatican got taken by Devils and made this possible (not exactly a far push) with wood carvings that were dyed in the same color as the hair of Rias.

"Welcome to the Gremory estate, my home and now, also yours."

Issei watched the pillars that kept the house up with triangles on the upper part. He wondered how many people you could fit in this.

The door opened and before they stood, Grayfia. With a small bow, she greeted the group.

"Welcome home." There were entire lines of maids and butlers before them while they were guided through the place.

Asia clung to Issei while the Dragon watched the place. If he was honest, he found himself entering a world he never thought existed.

He was used to splendor and grandeur but this was something he never guessed was possible.

"Thank you, Grayfia. Is Okaa-sama home?" Rias asked for the Peerage while Issei dreaded meeting his upcoming mother-in-law. There were some discussions that needed to be had and he preferred to deal with others first.

"She is but Sirzechs Lucifer-sama has requested you to come over. There is much to discuss." Her eyes flickered over to Issei who gave her a short wave.

"In particular with you, Issei Hyoudou-san." The Dragon didn't think it'd be wise to escape Sirzechs so he obeyed with a polite nod.

"I imagined so."

"If you all could please follow me."

There were many hallways and twists where they had to walk through. Issei didn't have to wonder what was going on with Sirzechs. The woman had to work from home, more often than not.

At one point, the office and home became one and the same.

His mind was looking around. The house looked even more spectacular on the inside than on the outside.

Eventually, they ended up in front of a large door.

There were three rapid knocks from Grayfia who heard the voice of Sirzechs.

"Did you bring them, Grayfia?" Issei didn't know why but he had an uneasy feeling in his gut.

"Yes."

"Let them in, please." The Maid opened the door and it was not just Issei who found the place to be looking eerily familiar.

If he wasn't sure about the trip, the inside of the clubroom was a nearly identical copy of what Sirzechs had open.

It even came down to the sofas.
