Chapter 52

Chapter 43

"Very well, Rias-sama." Grayfia nodded her head slightly while her expression still didn't change, deep down inside, she wanted to be the only person who prepares her master's every meal but if Rias said it was an order then fine, she would let it go this time. Tomorrow however was a different story.

Just as they were about to head to the kitchen, Naruto spoke up,

"I'm going to help you guys too, I'm not about to let you two do all the work."

"Naruto-sama, that would not be neccessa..."

"Yes it is, I already allowed Rias to prepare breakfast for me so I'm helping out with dinner. Or do you have such a low opinion of me? I did live by myself for two years you know." Replied Naruto.

Finding no reasonable reason to reject him, the girls begrudgingly agreed, to be honest, they were curious about his culinary skills and just how good he was in a kitchen.

As it turned out, he was pretty good, Naruto was able to follow the expert instructions of Grayfia without a problem while Rias had some difficulty doing so. With Naruto's help, they managed to finish much quicker than expected. Naruto was now in the kitchen cleaning up while Rias and Grayfia were arranging the table. As they worked, Rias tried to make some small talk,

"Naruto's surprisingly good at cooking isn't he?"

Grayfia replied while still setting the table, "Yes, Naruto-sama's skills are good enough that he could probably do very well as a butler." At this she redden just a little but it was enough to be detected by Rias who was seeing more and more proof that Grayfia did have feelings for Naruto and she didn't like it one bit.

Just as Rias looked like she wanted to say more, Naruto came out of the kitchen,

"Alright, I'm finished with the clean up." Naruto looked at the dining table that was prepared for a moment and continued, "And looks like you guys are done too so what are we waiting for? Let's eat!"

Naruto sat down on one chair with Rias sitting down at his left side with only Grayfia still standing with her usual stoic face.

"Grayfia did all the work." Rias said and motioned her head to the maid, who had moved herself from the table to behind Naruto "I just helped that's all."

Naruto took his chopsticks and tasted the nearest dish.

"Wow, it's really good! We should do this more often!" Naruto chewed while nodding his head, he had this dish before in the Gremory Castle but the flavor was different, in a good way. Naruto mused that the three of them must have added their own special flavour to the dishes.

Naruto and Rias began eating, after noticing Grayfia wasn't eating with them, he turned to her who was standing behind him and frowned.

"Grayfia-nee, why aren't you eating with us?"

"There is no need Naruto-sama." Grayfia said. Naruto didn't see it but Rias who was a girl with a good woman's intuition could hear the hidden happiness in Grayfia's voice. She had seen the look on the maid's face when she talked to Naruto in the kitchen. Rias never saw Grayfia try so hard in cooking like this when she was a maid in the castle. Even when she was in the service of her brother, it wasn't everyday that she could see her cooking the meals herself. She did have to admit though, Grayfia was good, very good in cooking and saw that Naruto was impressed by her skills.

"I will eat later, after you and Rias-sama finished your dinners first."

"Nonsense Grayfia-nee, you worked just as hard if not even harder than us in preparing dinner so eat with us." He stood up and pulled her hand, Grayfia's eyes widened in surprise as she followed Naruto and was pushed down on the chair at his right. Rias was gripping her chopsticks hard and with just a little more force she would snap it in half. She was right, Akeno or Ravel weren't the strongest threats, they were nothing compared to Grayfia, she was the most dangerous enemy. She was frankly a bit amazed at the women Naruto attracts, who next, a Seraph and a Maou?

When Naruto returned to his chair, he could see that Grayfia still wasn't so sure about eating with them. Come to think of it, he never saw the silver haired maid eating with them before, she always stood behind Sirzechs and waited while everyone was eating and chatting with each other, he guessed that Grayfia took her duties as a maid very seriously the duty.

She may stay like that when she was his foster brother's personal maid but she's with him inside of his house, she would be treated differently, maid or not.

Using his chopsticks, Naruto took a fried shrimp from one of the dish Grayfia was staring at. The strongest queen of the underworld brought her head up and looked at Naruto.

"Say ahhhh~Grayfia-nee." He grinned brightly and brought the shrimp to Grayfia's mouth while the maid looked at him confused. Rias's mouth were wide open in shock seeing the scene in front of her.

Grayfia face began to turn red, she never had anyone feed her like this before. Sure Grayfia and Sirzechs used to be in love with each other but their relationship was in the middle of the Great War, so things like this weren't possible. She was really confused now and her face turned red at Naruto's action. His grin was making her heart beating really fast.

Looked at Grayfia's blushing face, Naruto couldn't help but think Grayfia was actually really cute when she blushed like this. Grayfia was a true beauty and the emotionless face was part of her charm, but there was just something about her when she blushed like this, Grayfia looked more like an normal girl, her true self whenever she had the day off.

Naruto had seen Grayfia on her days off before and it's truly amazed him by how she held herself in front of everyone. The strict, emotionless maid who always punished her master whenever he acted childish or forgot his position as the leader of the underworld had completely disappeared and was replaced by Grayfia Lucifuge, the strongest queen of the underworld, a beautiful, warm and kind woman, who was also womanly and had really good taste in fashion, which confused Naruto greatly when Rias told that part to him.
