Chapter 103: Looking For Loki? by Harem-Fan

     Venelana, after listening to my declaration, switches gears on me...

     "Son Dear, let's talk about your Peerage plans! It seems you will easily get fast tracked to the high class noble rank of Baron. So tell me what are your plans?"

     She just crosses her legs and gets comfortable beside me, and  listens to my plan.

     "What I have confirmed is... Grayfia as my Queen and pillar, Grace and Xenovia as my Knights, Asia and Coriana are my Bishops... And I have a Human contractor named Mil-tan, but he can also be a Rook..."

"So I have 4 to 5 Pawn's available and 1 Rook available depending on how awesome he is... My last Rook is being saved for a possible future woman I have seen in my visions, a Half God. So that is my current plan?"

     My face looks unsure about one or two piece assignments.

     Venelana suggested it to me...

     "Well we are considering what to do with Kris and Ingvild, so why not get to know the two girls, and see if they would fit your group or Rias's group. We have not decided where to place them yet, and this is the perfect time to consider them..."

"You don't need to take them if they don't meet your requirements, but I do know Kris is a close quarters fighter... Before sleeping she was learning from some of your old Japanese masters that are now in our Gremory territory. She, like Rias, seems to have a bit of a fixation with your culture, correct Grace?"

     "Yes Duchess Gremory, I have trained with her in the past and her skills for a younger Devil are adequate for my young Master to consider. I think she would be comparable to Riser's Chinese Rook in martial arts if she were to become a Rook herself..."

     Grace gave her a solid evaluation... And Grace is better at martial arts than me so that is good to hear.

     Venelana continues...

     "I'm not sure about Ingvild's fighting ability, but she has a large amount of Demonic Power with 8 Devil wings, so I feel she would not be a waste to invest in as well."

     I ponder this and say...

     "If Mother suggests it then, I will seriously get to know the two and see if this is something they will want then. I feel that the Leviathan bloodline is very strong for a Pawn possibility, and perhaps Rias might like Kris as her last Rook spot?"

"And the Rook of Riser, Xuelan, yeah she is good and I wish I had found her first... Riser really got lucky with her, because her speed makes her close to a Queen, at least physically. Thank you for guiding me on this subject."

     Venelana was surprised I so highly evaluated Riser's Rook, and she smiled with ideas.

     I then remember something about the birth rates and say.

     "Mother, would you like me to heal you and Father again if you too are trying to get pregnant again?"

     Yup she said Lady Sitri got pregnant, but didn't even say she did.

     She covers her mouth and laughs a bit.

     "Ufufu, No need Dear... Your Father is a bit of a drinker and he forgets who he is sleeping with sometimes. He thinks we have already tried. So I'm just waiting a bit for him to get his other mistresses pregnant first, then I will try later."

     She just looks amused at her childish Husband's antics.

     Well to be fair she has had 3 kids already, and that is a lot of a non Phenex Devil woman. (Big G helped Millicas be born, cough)

     She taps my leg to get up and leave, with her toe.

     "Now go, your girls will get anxious without you... Have fun tonight, fufu."

     So with that I head off for my night of pleasure and fun!

     First stop is Coriana's room for some one-on-one dream realm training!

-

     After Mat left, Venelana asked Grayfia.

     "Grayfia, it seems that Riser has stopped doing Rating Games as of late, find out more about this Xuelan Rook for would you?"

     Grayfia said.

     "I know a bit, but I will look into it, and also Marquess and Lady Phenex still have inquired about Ravel, should I investigate that too?"

     "They must be trying to fix the gap left by Rias and Riser, so look into it."

     "Certainly, also Gomorin City has been readied for your handover when things are final, are you sure you want to transfer your city?"

     Venelana stood, smiled at Grayfia.

     "Ara~ara, Do you not want to live there?"

     Grayfia just smiles at her friend, and knows she is giving Mat the best land, so she said.

     "Gomorin City has always been my favorite place in the Gremory territory, thank you."

-

     The rest of the night into the next day went as any pervert would hope for...

     And I woke up in a tangle of cuties!

     Coriana,Grayfia and Grace however stayed in their own rooms... just letting the Orc girls get their fill of me.

     Koneko is the ultimate winner of king of the Mat-mountain, and has claimed that final position when consciousness returns.

-

     Venelana told both Ingvild and Kris to accompany Rias's Peerage as possible recruits...

     Also the two had been asleep for too long and needed to get out and mingle with the other Devils.

     Sadly the two girls will be looked down on because of their Half Human side, however both girls were happy to know my group didn't care about their heritage.

     I also wasn't aware that Venelana had both girls watch my fights and read about my history, and personality... I found this out later.

     So the whole day was dedicated to the girls dressing up for the big event tonight.

     I convinced Rias that a noble knight ranked Devil shouldn't be seen dead in the summer school uniform.

     It would end up shaming both Sona and Rias...

     Yup I just make shit up like there is a difference from mid and low class rank, so wearing what Issei is wearing will lower my rank...

     I hate the uniform... But it looks good on the girls!

     However my master plan blew up splendidly!

     The older women dressed me up in the Underworld style clothing, and I feel like I stepped out of time wearing something only a count from a vampire movie would wear, but in Gremory red... sigh.

     Grayfia and Venelana both think I look Devil manly...

     Grayfia left early with Zeoticus and Venelana, to some gatherings with the parents.

     I guess they will go party with the older generation first... Bet Azazel will be there.

     Gasper was taken to the girls' dressing time, and Kiba and I were left alone in the lounge, just having some small talk and few maids attended to us, while Grace hovered over me, ready and eager to serve...

     I wish I didn't learn what her real name was... Now I just imagine her cosplaying a dog girl.

     Aika will have fun with that when I tell her to make it for Grace.

-

     So as Kiba and I were sitting on different couches, I asked him out of boredom...

     "So Kiba, how have things been going with Kat?"

     Let's find out what mess Drunk Me caused.

     Kiba had a warm smile and said...

     "It is going great actually... I had told her about me before we left, and she seemed happy about knowing there was a supernatural world. Kat is taking her Kendo training more seriously now that she knows I could be in danger... It is really cute that a Human wants to protect a Devil like I'm a poor girl in jeopardy."

     He just warmly smiles thinking of her.

     I try to sound wise and say.

     "In my opinion she is already saving you... Look, your happy and smiling. That is proof that a weak girl is protecting your heart! The same is for her friend. I'm happy I found Murayama in this life... I was very happy that night I realized I needed her! I think it is funny that those two friends found us!"

     Kiba and I just air toast with our juice.

     My gear gave me a nudge and I said quickly.

     "Also I'm happy to have found my Grace!"

     Sacred Gear says.. good job!

-

     Out of nowhere, Issei comes into our room and looks happy...

     "Oh thank God, ouch~! I got lost looking at all the hot ass maids, and I have been looking for help!"

     He sits down and I signal a maid to serve him then I ask.

     "So Issei, what brings you here?!"

     With the Rating Game happening, I'm surprised he came to the Gremory mansion?

     Oh, Did he come with old man Tannin and the Dragons?

     After drooling at the maid handing him tea, Issei says...

     “Ah, Pres will be going to the gathering along with Rias, and I came as a bodyguard for her here. So, Pres went to meet with Rias, and after that I ended up lost wandering aimlessly around the mansion, until I arrived here.”

     What Sona is here, I am surprised.

     I ask the obvious.

     "So why did she not tell me she was coming?"

     Oh~crap, Issei is grinning... I said the wrong thing.

     "Bro, Pres is cumming for you, hah-aha! No, seriously, don't let her know I said that please, or I'll get the Demonic Paddle again! Anyway she came to surprise you... She has been working hard and we catch her looking at your image a lot. So yeah."

     Man, that is so cute of my Sona.

     I then asked while we finished our tea.

     "Thanks for telling me, also who else came along?"

     I have a bad feeling about a Loli fight breaking out.

     He smirks...

     "All of your girls are here, haha!"

     Why are all my friends assholes?

     Oh, never-mind, it's because I'm one too!

     Then we three Devil men, just talked about Highschool...

-

     After a while...

     A whole bunch of sexy girls came to the waiting area to meet us.

     It is both Peerages plus Kris and Ingvild.

     Kiba, Issei, and Saji are all wearing the summer Kuoh uniform.

     Coriana is dressed to be with her Peerage tonight... She still has to do events with them till I trade, so she will go with and then hang with her other team.

     All of the girls are wearing the same types and styles of outfits they wore at the Youth Gathering.

     The only major exception is Sona is wearing a super hot short red dress that kinda matches my outfit.

     Um, Sona definitely wore it for me!

     The two Half Devils are wearing white ball Underworld style gowns for nobility, and it makes them seem pure... well except the large amount of cleavage shown, gulp.

     Tsubaki, Yura, Reya, and Ruruko  from Sona's Peerage, took turns with light-kisses and hugs, due to not seeing each other for like 3 weeks.

     I regularly call all my harem one-by-one while I soak in the tub.

     So don't think anyone is getting neglected.

     Saji and Issei both take the initiative to meet the two new hot chicks, sigh.

     Well they aren't my girls anyway, so if they like the two boys more power to them!

     Both sides don't even talk about our soon to be played Rating Game, and are just socializing like normal...

-

     After our short meeting...

     Whoosh Flap Flap Thud~! We heard and felt the massive sounds of many things flying in the garden, along with soft tremors in the ground.

     Everyone was alerted to possible danger, and I just said to the startled crowd.

     "Don't panic everyone, that is our ride to the event location!"

     Grace was allowed to go with us, since she will be my Knight shortly.

     She is going in her maid outfit though... but I like it.

-

     When we all stepped out back, what everyone looked up to see is...

     Along with old man Tannin, there were 10 Dragons about the same size as him, and they are all his Peerage for Rating Games!

     [Matsuda, we are right on time. Is everyone here?]

     Most can't tell, but Tannin is smiling... I can read it in his eyes.

     "Sona, my other fiance, is bringing her Peerage along if that is alright?"

     I know with all the Dragons here there will be no problem.

     [Sure kid. When you all ride my back, I will put up a special barrier around you. That way, your hair and clothes won’t get messed up by the wind. Since those things are important to women. Also you and the host of Ddraig should ride on my head!]

     So we all pile on, and then take to the air to the event...

-

     Whoosh~! As the air blew over Issei and I, who were not under the barrier, Ddraig spoke...

     [Good to see you again, old friend. The view from up here brings back good memories!]

     Ddraig said that in reminiscence, and Tannin was happy.

     [Haha, That is an experience to remember, Ddraig. However, there are only 3 mighty Dragons (Dragon Kings) that are still active left, including myself. No, since I was reborn as a Devil, the only real ones remaining are Ophis and Tiamat...]

[The rest have either been sealed, or have retired. Yu-Long and Midgardsormr never come out onto the surface anymore... You, Albion, Fafnir and Vritra have all been sealed into Sacred Gears...]

[Throughout time, strong Dragons have been suppressed. Strong Dragons are a fearful existence, after all.]

     Tannin said that in slight sadness.

     Issei jumps in excitedly and asks Tannin.

     "So cool! You're a Dragon and a Devil... How did that happen?!"

     So Tannin explained...

     [There is a certain race of Dragons that can only live by eating the Dragon Apple. The fruits that grew in the Human world have become extinct, due to sudden environmental changes. That fruit only grows in the Underworld now. Because Dragons are hated in the Underworld. They are detested by both Devils and Fallen Angels...]

[There is no way they would give it away for nothing, right? That is why, I became a Devil, and so the territory that grows the fruit was all made my territory. When you exceed a high-class Devil, you can receive a part of the Underworld from the Devil Kings. I had my eye on that place...]

[And thanks to that, they avoided becoming extinct. I also did research on how to artificially grow the Dragon Apples in my territory successfully. It is a special fruit, so the research takes time. Still, if it lets there be a future for that race, that's my reason for living.]

     He just proudly told his backstory...

     Issei just declares his fantasy and life goal.

     "My reason to become a Devil is to be a Harem King! Just like my buddy Mat here!" 

     Pat~! Issei just slaps my shoulder, and I can't even deny his words right now!

     Old man Tannin tries to advise Issei, and probably me...

     [That kind of thing is fine while you’re young. If you're male, it is expected that you come to want women and power. Just don't overdo it, but it is fine if that becomes the driving force that moves you. However, Issei Hyoudou, it’s so wasteful to just make a harem your final goal...]

[If you become strong, it’s natural for females to approach you. The problem comes after getting both women and power… It may still be too difficult for someone young like you to understand this now.”

     Yup, Issei heard none of Tannin's sage advice!

     Well at least I understand this and say...

     "I want a long and happy life, making my women and family happy... That is my end goal!"

     As long as I can do that I will just pass-away happily with no regrets!

     I think Tannin was happy with my reasons, and the rest of the trip was quiet...

-

     We came to a city with a large area, and Tannin pointed out the event site in the distance...

     It looked like a scene from the anime... almost?

     It was a large building with a forest and hills nearby for a view of nature...

     And on its other-side, a large city of modern design...

     I saw a lot of casino lights and bars, huh and titty bars too... Makes sense, it is the Underworld!

     Spot lights are shown on the flight of Dragons, and we are guided to a large area for large Devils to land.

     Despite what most Humans might think, Devils come in all shapes and sizes, like Mermaids, Devils with tails, claws, horns, and a variety of skin types and colors, and finally size.

-

     After landing...

     We then Issei and I get off and meet up with the rest of our group.

     Tannin says his goodbyes and he will see us after the event ends.

     I turn to see Momo combing Issei's messed up hair, due to riding on Tannin's head with me.

     I don't have that problem... My pimp shave always lets me look good!

     But Tsubaki, the fast thinker, came to me and fixed my out of place attire... A dutiful Japanese beauty indeed.

     Two extended luxurious limos pick up our groups, but Sona and Tsubaki ride in my limo with my group...

-

     Naturally my two noble wives each take an arm.

     Rias, while we drive to the event, explains to the unaware of what we are doing here...

     “This is an annual event. If anything, it is more like a gathering for the members of all the distinguished Devil noble families to meet. We, the next family heads, are just extras, while it's really a party for our Fathers and Mothers to enjoy themselves..."

"In reality, they have made reservations at the nearby facilities until the 4th or 5th after-parties. Proof of that is that they arrived at the meeting place separately from us. They probably gathered together before the young people arrived and may already be three-sheets to the wind.”

     Sona is so cute, she is squeezing my hand, and trying to hide her happiness in front of everyone.

     I'm glad Sona wanted me!

-

     We have finally arrived in front of the grand building...

     Many limos are letting out other nobles, not just Peerages?!

     Looks like this will be a huge party... But why does this seem like I know this set up?

     Azazel said there would be no peace talks tonight, but my Sacred Gear started to tingle with both the side quest and danger when we got out!

     And when I saw Ravel Phenex get out with the rest of the Peerage, it hit me!

     Is Loki coming to the party?!
