160 Gathering of Young Devils-2 (1/2)
Currently at the Gremory dining area, Rias and her parents including her peerage were sitting and having dinner.
Akeno particularly was quiet happy, Rias already informed her parents about what happen, they were delighted as well.
However, there was one thing out of the place, Milicas was sitting right next to Issei, his eyes were sparkling, and apparently a conversation was about to begin,
”Issei-niisama, is it fine if I ask some questions? Please?”
”I do not mind”
”So-so, do you often use your Longinus?”
”I do not, unless an enemy is worthy, I don't”
”You mastered hand to hand combat and cultivated your body…but you are master in demonic, angelic and magical abilities, why do so?”
”How do you drink water?”
”Huh?” Milicas was taken aback by a counter question,
”I asked, how do you drink water?”
”With the help of glass or a bottle”
”If you don't have a glass or a bottle, will you be able to drink water?”
”It will be difficult”
”Let's say, you have enormous amount of water, but a small glass, what will happen if you try to flow the water to it?”
”It will overflow and go to waste of course”
”That's exactly correct, the water is your demonic power and the glass your body, unless your body isn't strong enough to hold out, no matter how strong powers you inherited, it's of no use-
On the contrary, if you have less demonic abilities but you have still cultivated your body…it will greatly help you in fights”
Milicas was now totally in awe, with Issei, so was his surrounding,
”Have you ever…lost?”
”Never, but had multiple draws”
”Draws?? With whom?”
”Members from my alliance, Basara and Tenma,”
”So, I really want to be your student, I wish to learn under you!!”
”So I must ask you something”
”Yes, please go ahead”
”Will you learn under me as Milicas Gremory or son of the Devil King?”
The entire place went quiet, this was a question that Milicas must answer correctly, no matter what…after all, and this will decide what kind of kid actually Milicas is,
”It doesn't matter right?” that was the sentence Milicas replies with,
Issei makes a small smile, ”Indeed kid, son of Devil King or not, son of Luficage or not or a Gremory, when you come under me, you are just Milicas, that's all…so are you prepared?”
”I am…”
”Good, because there are some kids in the {D x D} alliance as well, we took them in after they lost their families and trained them, well I didn't train any, but rather than that, each are almost as strong as a High-Class devil, but they are of your age…
So remember, I will make it hell…when, you train under me…you aren't kid, when you make decisions, but when you do at the least I can say this, instead of people looking at you like Devil King's child, you will be looked as Milicas Gremory…a man of his own strength”
Milicas understood, ever since he was born, he was at a different light, he never made any friends, not because he was ill mannered, it was all because he was son of Sirzechs Lucifer, a Satan, and the Devil-King, that's why…
People thought it would be impolite to talk to him, which is why he was left alone…which also became the reason most of the time he stayed in the house, because you cannot force someone to become your friend right?
Little drops of tears passed through Milicas's cheeks, making him look even more adorable,
”Issei-niisama, are you some kind of physic, how can you read someone who is good at hiding?”
”It's easy to look through a fake smile, you see kiddo, I have seen countless and you are still novice at hiding your feelings, your elders might no, I am sure they noticed it, but expected to wait for sometime after which they'll help you, sorry to say…it isn't like that with me,”
”I understand, I will follow you Issei-niisama”
”It's sensei”
Milicas, this time smiled honestly, ”Yes, sensei!”
Zeoticus, who watched all this with warm eyes, spoke, ”Issei-kun, since you are V-chan, I mean Van's son, you are just like my son as well…as long as you stay here, make sure you call me Father, alright”
Issei was taken aback by this,
Rias's mother Venelana, makes a small laugh and says, ”Dear, your actions seems pretty premature, there is a proper procedure to all this, but I don't think it's a bad idea either”
Rias's face was red as she stood up, ”Geez, both of you! You make me so…!!”
Embarrassed Rias rushed out of the room.
…
It was nighttime, Issei was standing near the balcony when he heard a familiar woman's voice,
”Issei-san, it appears you didn't sleep” the one who said that was Venelana, Rias's mother,
”Madam, do you like youkais?” Issei asks a sudden question, the latter narrows her eyes and says,
”I see nothing to hate in them,”
”What do you think, about ancient cat youkai?” (Youkais are like spirits evil and good as well)
”That is an awfully specific question, don't you think?”
”Indeed it is, and you do know whom I am talking about”,
”Indeed, you are referring to Koneko-san, right?”
”Yes, I want to know about her past, and it would seem you will be the best one who can state it fully,”
Rias's mother sighs, but continues, ”Since you were able to help, Akeno-san, I guess you might be able to help Koneko-san as well”
Indeed, after all, Issei noticed Koneko being out of the place during the dinnertime, actually, she has been out of her place since long, she looked tired and sad after all.
”It was a story of two cat sisters.
