"I look fine, right?" Abigor asked slowly to Akira in the early evening hours. Parents' Day would start in just thirty minutes, but Abigor and his Peerage knew if their parents weren't early, then they'd be among the first to arrive. The Peerage just had on their normal school uniforms. "I just wish I could've worn something a bit more...formal,"
Akira giggled. "You're just nervous. I don't blame you. But you have nothing to worry about! Everything will be fine," She was in the middle of brewing tea for any guests who decided to come by the Dance Committee.
"Well, I guess I should head to the entryway. I think both I and Propserine were given the job of actually greeting parents," Abigor explained, and Akira nodded and waved him off.
"If you see Mother, give her a huge hug for me!"
"I...am not going to hug your mother," Abigor smiled nervously before he headed out of the clubhouse and into the entryway of the school, finding a few students already poised there as well as Prosperine.
"Hey, Big Brother! Getting to see Dad and Mom after so long...aren't you excited? I bet they have all kinds of crazy and inappropriate stories to tell us!" She grinned.
"Maybe." Abigor simply grinned back, since it would be a mystery. He found himself hoping they would save such stories, if they did indeed have them, for later on instead of blurting them out in front of everyone else.
After a few more minutes, the front doors were finally opened and several groups of parents wandered in, looking around at the school in amazement. Abigor ignored them, as he didn't recognize any of them.
Eventually, however, everyone in the room turned their attention to the person currently entering, as despite his normal, everyday appearance, he had several elegantly-dressed girls all clinging to him. Several women stared at him in disgust while several men stared at him in jealousy.
"Wow, this place looks pretty similar to when I used to go here," Issei said to himself in awe, wearing a dark brown business suit.
"Why would it look different? They never did much renovations on it," Rias asked curiously, clinging to his left arm. She had on a matching brown business-dress.
"People are staring at us..." Asia responded shyly, burying her face in Issei's right arm.
"I can see why, he's the only man here with multiple wives," Rossweiss sighed.
Kiba and Gasper awkwardly stood to the sides of the harem with their own wives, smiling awkwardly at Issei.
"Alright, alright, as much as I love you ladies, today is a special day. Go on, go be with your children and congratulate them on their progress," Issei gently pulled the girls off him one-by-one, and they all hurried off in different directions to go find their own child.
"You two were made the greeters this year, huh?" Rias teased, smiling at Abigor and Prosperine.
"We sure were!" Prosperine confirmed, posing in a way that made her breasts bounce.
"Welcome back, Mom and Dad," Abigor smiled. "Want a tour of the school?"
"I wouldn't mind that one bit!" Issei grinned, then noticed Kiba and Gasper were still standing around, chatting with their wives. He also noticed his two best friends from his high-school days, Motohama and Matsuda staring at Issei in jealousy, despite their own wives standing close by.
"Hey, you two have to go see your children, right?" Issei spoke out to Kiba and Gasper, who nodded. "Why don't you take my friends with you? Your wives might get along splendidly!"
"Yay us," Koneko deadpanned as Matsuda and his wife hurried over in that direction, and Gasper and his wife were stuck with Motohama and his wife. Still, Kiba and Gasper were either too polite or too awkward to object, so they simply smiled awkwardly and walked off to go find their children.

Asia walked into the art-room, smiling at some of the paintings she came across. Many of them were quite nice and relaxed her with the warm colours that were used. The teacher, Le Fey Pendragon-Lucifier, smiled cheerfully at each parent who walked in, but her smile grew even wider when she recognized Asia.
"Asia-sama! How have you been?" She asked cheerfully, waving at her.
"I've been good. How about you?"
The magician had aged a bit from her days as Issei's magician; now her hair fell in curly waves down her back and a jeweled coronet was placed on top. Her outfit was a black and grey school uniform with a skirt and Mary-Janes with a black robe on top trimmed with yellow. It resembled a school uniform from a certain British series about wizards.
"I've been good as well. My sweet little girl is about to transfer here, did you hear that?" Le Fey smiled.
"Guinevere-chan!" Asia gasped with a smile. "I haven't seen her since she was a baby!"
"Hello Mother," Europe greeted politely, sensing a lull in their conversation. "Have you been enjoying Parents' Day so far?"
"Yes," She was wearing a virginal white gown that resembled a high-necked wedding gown with a crisp skirt. Flowers and a veil nestled delicately in her blonde waves. "But I believe you wanted to show me something, right?"
"Of course! My painting!" Europe led Asia over to a small group of paintings that were deemed the best to show off; they were still drying. She motioned over to a small one of a cabin in the forest underneath a sunset. "I'm very proud of it,"
"It's very beautiful," Asia smiled at her daughter. "Your talent has improved quite a lot!"
"She is by far the only talent in the class," Le Fey sighed. "A lot of the students have potential, but for some reason they never want to apply themselves,"
"I think all of the paintings shown are great!" Asia smiled widely. "They all have something different about them,"
"We voted in class for which ones we wanted to show," Europe added.
"I'd love to take them all home, but they deserve to be kept here," She commented wistfully, then looked over at Europe. "Would you like to show me more of your school?"
"Yes!" Europe smiled. "Follow me. Oh, see you later, Mrs. Pendragon-Lucifer!" She waved eagerly to her teacher, who waved back.

Xenovia split away from the group fairly early on, even now being more of a loner. She was wearing a white dress shirt with black dress pants and shoes, not wanting to look overly fancy nor sloppy. Her first stop was the workshop class, where the centerpiece was a large oak chest of drawers.
"Hey Momma," Sirius greeted, waving to her from a back-room. Xenovia waved back. "Looks like it's just us two,"
"That's alright. I prefer the quiet," She reassured her son. "So, you gonna show me your latest project or what?"
He grinned back at her and posed in front of the set of drawers. "You're looking right at it,"
"Made this all yourself, huh? I did teach you well," Xenovia did very little to hide how truly impressed she was as she looked over the drawers. She ran her hands down it.
"I'm just not sure what to do with it now," He confessed. "It took me the better part of a few weeks, but I don't have space for it in my room,"
"What about at the Hyoudou's?"
"No space there either. And my friends don't seem to want it either,"
Xenovia got a thoughtful expression on her features. "Asia-chan and I often do missionary work. We could take the set with us and give it to a family in need..." She trailed off, assuming Sirius got the point. He nodded.
"That's actually a great idea!" He smiled.
"The families are often in need of furniture, but there aren't enough hands to provide. So if you ever make any more sets that you can't get rid of,"
"Thanks Momma!" They fist-bumped each other. "Wanna look at some other rooms? Or just hang out here?"
"Let's just hang out here. We're going to need to save our energy for the homecoming party tonight," She reminded him. "Time is different in the Underworld, so it'll technically start tomorrow and go all night,"
"I'm sure the siblings are excited about it at least," Sirius offered. "They finally get to see their parents after so long. And not just them, but their little siblings too!"
"Yeah," Xenovia simply gave him a mysterious smile.

"Welcome to the Dance Committee room. As you can see, we are proficient in many different types of dance and have won many awards," Akira smiled warmly at the guests currently seated while Freyr poured them tea. The parents cooed over their dignified manners and housewarming grace.
"Hello, Hello," Rossweiss called out as she entered with Akeno right beside her.
"My, it's awfully dark in here. Did we really arrive that late?" Akeno mused to herself, though she made no move to turn on the lights. Freyr did that for her.
"I was waiting for your arrival, Mother," Akira walked over to her, giving a polite bow.
"We would've been here sooner, but Issei was persistent about showing us this new fountain they built. How he even knew about it beats me," Rossweiss sighed. "How is everything in here?"
"Going great, Mom," Freyr reassured her. "Would you like some tea?"
"I'm not going to stay that long," She had her hair in a ponytail tied with a light blue ribbon and wore matching jeans and a black T-shirt with pink sneakers.
"I, on the other hand, would be delighted to have a cup," Akeno nodded at her daughter, who quickly made one. She took a seat on one of the empty couches. "It feels like just yesterday all of us were together in this room, laughing, arguing, crying, playing..." Her hair was up in a bun and she wore an elegant dark evening gown complete with jewelry and a clutch bag.
"You used to attend this school?" A man asked in surprise.
"Yes. The best years of my life," She gently took the steaming cup from Akira, placing her purse in her lap. "This is very good,"
"Would you believe me if I said I spent all night working on a recipe?" Akira smiled proudly while Freyr sighed.
"She made it with tap water and a bag," He whispered to Rossweiss.
"We all have our off-days,"
"Oh! There's a mythology class here on the third floor. I thought you'd be interested in seeing it,"
Rossweiss nodded and Freyr eagerly showed her out, while Akira returned her attention to the various awards hanging up on the wall.
"Now, did anyone have a question about any of these?"

"You know, you looked a lot cuter when you were younger. Younger too," Matsuda tried flirting with Koneko; emphasis on tried.
"Yeah, having kids will do that to you," She snapped, wishing she had a lollipop to suck on to keep her mouth busy. But Kiba had confiscated all of them from her, proclaiming she needed to keep her appetite for whatever snacks they'd be serving at Parents' Day.
"Not always. I've seen some mothers with ten children who still look like they're twelve!" He carried on, ignoring the displeased look on his wife's face and the strained smile of Kiba.
"Who knew someone like you could snag such a cute wife?" Motohama adjusted his glasses as he looked Tomoe over. "Her sizes seem to be relatively unchanged from high-school though..."
Tomoe blushed and hid behind Gasper slightly, who took her hand.
"Um...we're going to go on ahead to the computer club..." He whispered to Kiba, acting as though they were the only ones there. "Tomoe-chan and I have no reason to be at home economics,"
Kiba nodded at Gasper and Tomoe. "Go on ahead, we'll catch up later," He promised as him and Koneko headed inside the home economics class.
It was joined together by the sewing class, and several different outfits were hanging up on display, while the home ec girls chattered happily to each other as they finished piling desserts onto a platter.
"Betty-chan, go around and offer the adults a treat!" One of the girls exclaimed, and Betty nodded and quickly smacked her gum before putting a polite expression on her features and began walking around.
"Hold out the dress so everyone can feel the texture of it," Riley's teacher directed, and he nodded and pulled it off the rack, holding it up to his frame.
"Oh." He pouted when he noticed a tiny tear near one of the sleeves, close to the armpit area. "I need to fix this," He clicked his tongue in annoyance, especially when he spotted his mother hurrying towards him eagerly. She might want to try on the dress...! He had to hurry.
"We have a huge selection of treats to satisfy your sweet tooth," Betty called out. She noticed her parents and daintily walked over to them, holding out the tray. "Desserts?"
"Look at our little princess, all dressed-up," Kiba teased. He wore a white polo shirt with dressy shoes and tan slacks with his hair slicked back, while Koneko wore a tight black cocktail dress with fishnet gloves.
"I'd like something," She nodded and took a cupcake off the tray, nibbling on it.
"After this, I would be honored to show you two my gymnastics team," She curtsied gracefully, balancing the tray.
"Look out," Riley scolded just as Betty turned to look at him; the two instantly collided. She grabbed the dress in a desperate attempt to regain her footing, only to rip it more. The sleeve tore clean off while her dessert tray slammed to the ground and shattered. The two fell on the ground.
"Oh no!" Ravel gasped, finally arriving on the scene.
"You clumsy pretty boy, you ruined my dessert tray!" Betty pointed an accusing finger at the Phenex boy. "I needed to hand those out!"
"Me? You tore my project with those claws of yours! Your parents should think about trimming them!" Riley shook the ripped gown in her face.
"At least I'm proud of my heritage!" She snapped back as she stood up, making Riley throw the dress aside and take a fighting stance.
"You say that again..."
"Guys. Please," Kiba laughed awkwardly as he stood inbetween them. "We don't need to start a huge fight in front of everyone else,"
"That's right, seeing as how the chicken wing of the breast started the whole fight when he rammed into my daughter," Koneko said in a matter-of-fact tone. Ravel spun around to face her.
"Hm? From my perspective, it seems as though my son's project was ruined when your clumsy cream-puff of a daughter rammed into him with her tray of snacks," She huffed.
"She humiliated herself,"
"So did he!"
"Ladies!" Kiba held his hands up in front of them. "There's no need for this. Princess, why don't you show your mom and I your gymnastics team now?" He smiled at Betty, who calmed herself down and nodded.
"Sure," With a final glare at Riley, she walked out.
#####
"We were told the Student Council President would be here," Sona adjusted her glasses. Both her and her husband wore matching black business suits to look spiffy.
"Oh, sorry! Am I late?" Satomi asked worriedly, sliding into the room in her magical girl cosplay. "I thought you two wanted to see me in my anime club,"
"We wanted to, but," Genshiro began before clearing his throat.
"Your sister is often unable to take care of student council duties, so it's your job to take her place," Sona reminded her younger daughter, who frowned at the mention of her older sister.
"Come on, Giselle-chan is a very lovely young lady and everyone is jealous she's your sister," Genshiro tried to reassure her. "She's going to be at the party tonight, so please try to get along."
"Is her Peerage going to be there?" Satomi asked slowly, playing with the ribbons in her hair.
"Who knows?" Her father shrugged. She frowned even more. "Come on, it's a happy occasion! Your Aunt Serafall is in town, terrifying as that is, as well as your mother's whole Peerage. Make merry!"
Satomi eventually sighed. "...May we please stop by the anime club? We're having a costume contest,"
"For a few minutes," Sona allowed, and Satomi burst into life as she hugged both of her parents.
"You guys better vote for me, alright?" She smiled.

"Computer Club," Tomoe read the sign out-loud. "I feel a bit out of my element,"
"Seeing Alex-chan will surely perk you up though!" Gasper squeezed her hand as the two walked into the brightly-lit room. They caught sight of Alex nervously adjusting a pair of headphones on his head, and also noticed Rias and Issei there with their own son and daughter, much to their surprise.
"Evening!" Tomoe greeted them both without wasting a breath. Gasper hung back a bit awkwardly, twirling a strand of his hair around in his finger that slipped out from his ponytail.
"Gasper-kun! Tomoe-chan! Fancy running into you two here!" Issei smiled at them.
"Our children were showing us around the school," Rias explained.
"Yeah, we were almost finished though," Abigor added, staring at Alex on the computer. "But I suspect you're here for him," He pointed over at Alex, who suddenly let out a loud cry and tossed off the headset, sobbing as he ran over to Gasper.
"Daddy, Daddy!" He sobbed, and Gasper picked him up easily and held him in his arms. Tomoe rushed over as well, her eyes shimmering. "People were being mean to me! Some kids over there," He pointed. "They're so awful and now I can't show the game I made you!"
"Alex-kun crying is actually a common occurrence," Abigor commented without thinking. Prosperine walked over, attracted by the noise.
"It's the same at home as well," Gasper nodded, running a hand through Alex's hair. "Still, I didn't make a mistake in entrusting Alex-chan to you, did I? You're taking good care of my daughter, right?" He asked in a stern voice, eyeing Abigor.
"W-Wait...daughter...? You don't have a...daughter..." He laughed awkwardly. Alex stared back at him with tears in their eyes.
"Yes, daughter," Gasper confirmed in a confused voice. "My only child, my daughter Alexandra Valerie Vlady,"
"Alex-kun...was a...girl...? That adorable little boy is actually a cute little girl...? H-How...?" Abigor felt the colour drain from his face. "But...if that's true...I told her so many things about my dick!" He suddenly blurted out and fainted, making his parents gasp.
"Abigor-kun!"
"Big Brother!"
"Oh no, I killed Abigor-san...!" Alexandra sniffled in fright, trying to stifle her hiccups.
"No, no, he's just in shock honey," Tomoe soothed her. "Lets go home early. That will cheer you up,"
"Surely you're not referring to Transylvania already?" Rias asked curiously.
"No, just the Underworld. We have to prepare for the party after all!" Tomoe cheered while Gasper smiled nervously.
"I'll be there...even though parties aren't really my forte still," He hugged his daughter tightly.
"But...I wanted to show you guys my game," Alex hiccuped again.
"Tomorrow," Gasper promised her, and the family of three left. "Your lovely aunts are here as well,"
"Aunt Valerie! My namesake!" Alex gasped, starting to cheer up.
Prosperine was still shaking her older brother in an attempt to rouse him and eventually sighed, placing a hand on his crotch and pressing. He instantly woke up with a gasp, glancing around.
"If it makes you feel better, I had the same exact reaction when I learned her father was a boy," Issei laughed.
"Count Gasper?" Abigor blinked. "He doesn't look girly at all!"
"Oh, we should show you pictures sometime of when he was younger. He was so girly," Rias smiled.
"He might've burned them all," Issei said, earning him a nudge from Rias.
"So...did everyone else know?" Abigor asked instead, and Prosperine nodded.
"I know she's a crossdresser, but I always felt as though it were obvious," She sighed and helped him up. "It's almost time for Parents' Day to end anyway,"
"I should round up everyone then!" Issei bounced from the room eagerly as Rias shook her head.
"Don't forget about the homecoming party!" She reminded her children as she followed after him.
"We won't!" Abigor and Prosperine waved after them.
######
Betty changed into a white camisole and blue booty-shorts, stretching a bit as she prepared herself for showing off her gymnastic prowess. Koneko and Kiba stood off to the side, eagerly awaiting to see how much their daughter had improved.
"Are you going to do any fancy stunts?" Kiba asked to encourage her, but Betty shook her head.
"I don't wanna freak out people too much...so I'll just do basic stuff," She responded, taking a running start towards the mat and launching herself into the air, doing a flip and landing perfectly on her feet, her hands in the air. "How was that?"
"Perfect!" Kiba praised. Koneko simply shrugged.
Betty took another running start and pushed off using her hands, doing several cartwheels before launching herself into the air and landing in a crouched position; still on her feet.
"I think it's getting time for us to head back," Akeno waved at the couple, Akira in tow.
"Already? I feel as though we just got here," Kiba asked in disbelief.
"Time flies when you're having fun, I suppose," Akeno teased.
"The party would be nice. I'll get to wear a nice dress," Betty leaned in, holding her hands behind her back. Kiba patted her head.
"Yes you will, princess. The prettiest dress in the entire Underworld," He promised.
Betty perked up at that and headed outside with her parents and Akeno and her daughter, meeting up with the rest of the group outside.
A large black limo had been parked outside the school for them, and several students stared at it in wonder and curiosity and envy. A few of the Peerage blushed heavily.
"Let's go!" Xenovia cheered, hopping inside first.
"Yeah, we're going to need lots of time to get ready for the party tonight," Ravel nodded, getting inside next.
Everyone else followed suit, getting inside with their children. After making sure everyone was inside, the driver nodded and sped off, heading for the Underworld.
"I bet Big Sister is going to be at the homecoming party," Satomi whispered to herself, fingering the ends of her skirt. Sona and Genshiro stared at her, sighing.
"You need to learn to get along with Giselle-chan. There is nothing wrong with her," Genshiro nudged her gently.
"Hm." Satomi responded, looking out the window and away from her parents.
And thus, Parents' Day had ended for the Peerage with only a few minor inconveniences. All-in-all, a good day.
