Chapter 31 - 31 Let The Party Begin (1/2)

”As I said before, you are welcome to stay for the party if you three so dėsɨrė. However please try and keep yourselves well behaved for the duration of the event. In the eyes of the public, I am trying to raise money for orphans all across the city. Although I doubt you will, I can never be too careful when dealing with..... minors”.

Gray was surprised when he received a glare that could stop a bull in its tracks when he was about to refer to the three as ”children” rather than minors.

Kara he could understand considering she was technically older than Gray, but still, Mareena and Cassie eyed the twenty year old with a narrowed stare that would make almost any other man quake in their boots.

”And what about in private hmm? I doubt someone like you would care too much what other people think about you”.

Cassie's voice resounded from behind a slightly open door that Gray has left open, giving the girls time to change from their casual clothes to a slightly more formal attire. This was Gray's event after all, he didn't want ”children” running around in the face of New York's elite.

He sat on his island table on the east side of his penthouse. The west side level of the highest floor of the building was just one massive room currently being outfitted with tables and decorations fitting for someone of his ”statue”, even if it only was just a facade.

The rest of the penthouse level, the east side was Gray's home, for lack of a better word. It was also where he kept his money, treasures and any other item of value that he may be interested in. Although the latter part of was a work in process seeing as though he didn't have anything of particular value.

”Maybe I should try and collect artifacts that could be used as catalysts? Although they'd have to be a Grail War for me to even attempt to summon a Servant..... Is there a Throne of Heroes in this universe?”.

The question did befuddle Gray but he threw those thoughts to the back of his mind.

He heard the door open behind him and opened his mouth to speak but found himself unable to bring together the words to even describe the visage in front of him.

A foreign sounding seductive voice stepped out from behind the door.

”What's this about a Servant?”.

Achilles gulped using Gray's throat.

The three girls that came through the empty bedroom that Gray had set up had completely transformed, in both appearance, and demeanor. Their presence, which couldn't be hidden by such normal looking clothing was enhanced by mȧturė dresses and light makeup. They didn't look like ”children” anymore, thought Achilles....

Cassie, who had the most developed figure of the three, wore a loose fitting black dress that was held up by one strand of string on each shoulder. While trying to hide her curves, which neither of her two friends had, it only made one want to look more, to try and find said curves. Her lips were a darker shade than Gray had previously seen, indicating the use of a dark red lipstick.

Mareena, the princess of Atlantis and daughter of Aquaman, wore a pale blue dress that contrasted nicely with the color of her eyes. Out of the three, she had the most gentle personality, while also being able to remain strong under pressure. Unlike the former's, Mareena's dress hugged her body quite nicely and emphasized everything that she lacked when compared to Cassie.

All three looked like the goddesses Gray saw in the memories of his Class Cards. Not losing in the slightest to Scathach or Tamamo-no-Mae in the slightest.

The three saw Gray's emotionless expression falter for a moment, before he cleared his throat and turned the other way, reaching for the top shelf drinks he had on the tallest shelf.

They all gave each other a smile and walked over to Gray sitting down on the island bench where he was previously sitting.

”Can we get a glass?”, asked Mareena, a strange pleasant edge in her voice.

Gray, who had his hand placed on a bottle raised an eyebrow at the Atalantean who gave him a demure smile in return.

”Club soda only”.

With a speed far greater than any normal human's, three glasses, filled to the brim with bubbling carbonated water, with a little bit of lime on the side appeared in front of the three girls, with Gray pouring his own alcoholic beverage on the side.

Kara eyed her drink, and then looked at the drink Gray was pouring for himself and her eyes widened as she exclaimed,

”That's alcohol from Daxam! How did you come into contact with stuff from off-world!”.
