chapter 18

ALLAN'S POV

"First I would like to express my gratitude for accepting our request." Lord Gremory spoke as he lowered his head.

I got a surprised look at Lord Gremory's sudden action, I was still trying to think of words to say when Aunt Clarisse spoke to him.

"Lord Gremory please raise your head, we only accept this request so that Akino has the opportunity to be reunited with her sister and also to find the bastard who ruined Asia-chan's life. So there's no need to lower her head to us." Aunt Clarisse spoke.

Lord Gremory rose and then spoke.

"

I am aware of this fact. But that doesn't change the fact that you will save Kuroka who is the servant and friend of our daughter Riana, we Gremory value our family and our servants very much and that's why we never forget those who help us." the lord Gremory spoke as his wife and Riana nodded in agreement.

"I see. Now about the other matters..." Aunt Clarisse spoke.

After that the conversation moved towards the demands we made.

About the magic books we will receive them after Kuroka's treatment.

About the investigation to find the bastard who harmed Asia, Lord Gremory said that they will need to act calmly after all they don't know if the devil they are looking for belongs to a noble house, if he does they will need to act with maximum discretion possible. The Gremorys also said that it might take a few months to get real results, Aunt Clarisse and I had no complaints about that part.

Now about Akeno Himejima's visit to our city, there were some complications.

Last year the engagement of the eldest Gremory daughter Rias Gremory was announced, because of this she is attracting a lot of attention from the noble society. Akeno Himejima for being the queen of Rias Gremory also draws a lot of attention from devil society.

In the noble society of devils there are some idiots who believe that the devil race is the top of the world. Although the Naberius incident was covered up, some nobles knew about it and demanded that the 4 Maou retaliate against Aunt Clarisse for having destroyed an entire branch of the Naberius family, the nobles considered this a great humiliation to the reputation of the devil race, the 4 Maous and some devils with a lot of authority rejected this idea because they didn't want to provoke someone like Aunt Clarisse. The 4 maou put a small group of devils outside our city, but they didn't put them to watch us but to stop some stupid noble devil from trying to cause trouble.

If somehow the idiot nobles find out that Akeno is visiting our town to be reunited with Akino they would certainly try to apply pressure on the Gremory family and try to screw ours somehow, even if they earn Aunt Clarisse's wrath.

Because of this unfortunately we will have to postpone the sisters' reunion for a few more months.

After we finished the conversation we left the room and went to the room Kuroka is in, after going through some corridors we arrived in front of Kuroka's room, Grayfia-san then opens the door.

When we entered the room I saw two people.

The first was a small girl with short white hair and yellow eyes, above her head were two cat ears the same color as her hair and behind her waist was a white cat tail.

"She looks the same age or maybe younger than Asia." I thought when I saw the little white haired girl.

The second was a girl who looked about the same age as me, she had black hair she has long black hair that is parted in a fringe on her forehead, just like the little white haired girl she has yellow eyes and two cat ears on her head. She also has a voluptuous body.

"Judging by the cat ears these two have it's likely they were nekomata before they were turned into reincarnated devils." I thought when I saw the two.

The white haired girl was sitting on a chair that was leaning against the bed in the room, she also had dark circles under her eyes indicating that she was not sleeping well, she also had red eyes indicating that she must have cried a little while ago.

"Onee-chan..." the little white haired girl spoke in a shaky tone as she tried to hold back her tears.

"Don't cry Shirone nya. I'll get better soon, cof cof..." the black haired girl tried to comfort the white haired girl but she didn't finish talking when she started a serious cough, which worried the little haired girl even more White.

The condition of the black haired girl is very serious, I don't know what happened to her in those experiments but I'm sure it wasn't something frivolous.

"Kuroka-chan don't make too much effort and Shirone-chan calm down, everything will be fine now." Riana said to the two as she entered the room and approached the two.

The two girls, the black haired one called Kuroka and the white haired one called Shirone looked at the door and saw us.

The two nekomatas looked at the door and saw everyone else, Lord and Lady Gremory, Riana, Grayfia-san and Ayla, but they paid more attention to me and Aunt Clarisse.

Aunt Clarisse and I are people they don't know so they looked at us a little warily until...

"Oh it's you nya. It was you who freed us that day nya." Kuroka pointed her index finger at Aunt Clarisse and spoke.

"Oh so you remember me?" Aunt Clarisse asked.

"But of course I would remember nya. It was fun for you that Shirone and I broke free from that damn lab, so how could I forget nya." Kuroka spoke.

"I understand." Aunt Clarisse spoke with a small smile.

"Kuroka and Shirone, this is Clarisse Aizawa and Allan Graysen. Sir Allan has granted our request to heal you Kuroka, so please treat him with respect." Grayfia-san spoke to the two sisters.

"Can you...really...save my sister?" the little haired girl Shirone asked shyly to me.

There's only one answer I can give this girl.

"But of course I can. When your sister wakes up she'll be much better." I spoke confidently.

"Now let's start the treatment." I told everyone in the room.
