Reunion of brothers

Makoto P.O.V

So much hell in the training time! Training from Sera-tan that nearly killed me, I can finally say that I'm done with training for the time being! I'm going to go and see Aniki and the others. I've not seen them in a month, and I miss them tremendously. I feel like dying but I'm going to go and see Aniki happily, and the others also. I have made it to the Gremory main residence. When I look around, I see Tannin-sama flying into the sky from the residence...hmmmm, so Tannin-sama is leaving...Aniki must be around here somewhere...

"Makoto!"

Ooh! Aniki's voice! When I turned...ooh damn it. He's totally gotten muscles and everything. He looks like he has trained hard. I trained hard, and all I can say is that I've gotten thinner! It is the curse of the Bishota's! We might be cute and cuddly, but Aniki is looking tough. If people compared us, then everyone would say that Aniki is the stronger one between us. Uwah, fate is cruel.

I go over and stare at him intently while poking his chest to see if it is actually real. He gives me weird eyes as I poke his chest with my index finger. My eyes aren't deceiving me.

"W-What is it?"

"You've totally changed. Before and now...and I can sense your power has risen exponentially. Your aura has totally gotten thicker and denser. Muu, it seems Tannin-sama was an amazing teacher after all. Uwah, I am so totes jealous right now."

"What does totes mean? I remember you saying it before when we were talking about training."

He doesn't know what it means? I thought Aniki might know what totes means. I think I'm using it right anyway. Knowing me, I am probably using the wrong word, but I will say what I think it means personally. Even if it is the wrong way of saying it but I don't think it is at all.

"Totes means totally. Geez, keep up with the times. And you call yourself a teenager Aniki? Did time in the wild make you lose your teenage wisdom? Anyway, Aniki I missed you so much. We haven't been apart like since...I don't remember when. I've even learned how to turn into a fox! Look! I will show you!"

His eyes widen as I shape shift into a mini fox with nine tails. He then puts on a happy face. Hehe, is this something he likes?

"Awww. That's so adorable. Uwah! Stop making me think you are adorable! Damn Bishota! B-But when you look at me with those eyes...ugh! I hate to admit it but that's probably the most adorable thing in the world! Turn into a girl at once for me! As you Aniki, I order you to become female!"

He ordered me to become female? Is he actually serious? If I did that, then I wouldn't have Sera-tan anymore, unless she's secretly into girls also, which I doubt, but you never know.

"I could probably do that if you really wanted. But it would only be visually, I think. I'm not sure. Maybe I could become a girl like I am a fox right now..."

"Are you serious!?"

He asks me shocked. I respond with a little nod.

"Yes. Originally, Kitsune's could change their gender to please their targets, if you believe legends. You know, Kitsune's are like sexual predators. Nothing like Succubus' like Sakura-chan. But still, we used our charms to mate with men and women. But I wouldn't ever mate with a male, because I am male and that would make me want to die. I've learned quite abit about Kitsune's and such during this training period. And I love being in this form. Its so natural. Aniki, I'm going to sit on your shoulder."

Without minding him, I run up his body and make it to his shoulder and sit there happily while swinging my tails around. Hehe, this is cool~

"Ehehe, I hate that I think you are so cute~ Ugh! Why are you so cute!?"

"Because I'm a Kitsune I guess? We are naturally cute or handsome or beautiful I suppose. Its all apart of my Bishota charms."

He cries anime tears. What's wrong with him? I would kill to build up my muscles. I just look like a stick now. I'm even thinner than I was before! I'm not even joking! Uwah! I should be jealous of you Aniki, not you jealous of me. Girls like guys with muscles, I think. But Sera-tan loves me like this, so if she likes me like this, then I'm very happy indeed!

"Ugh...Bishota."

"Frustrated Aniki? Want me to become female now?"

"Ehehehehe! Become female for Aniki!"

He's got a one track mind. Even after training with Tannin-sama. He even wants me to become female. Maybe, just maybe he has become even more breast loving than he was before. I'm so glad he doesn't like Koneko-chan and Asia-chan and Yumi-chan and Gasper-chan from his peerage, as they are mine! I refuse to hand them to you Aniki!

"Only for you, but not now. Yumi-chan is coming~ Ooh, also say that I'm your new familiar and see if she believes it~"

"O-Ok...but, it is great seeing you again. I missed you so much! Like you said, we've not been apart since...well, like you said, I can't remember either."

I nuzzle his neck. He pets my head happily. I think I love this form very much. Yumi-chan then comes up to Aniki. Ooh, she's as cute as I remember, even cuter perhaps.

"Hey Ise-kun...who's the cute fox?"

"O-Oh...he's my new familiar, Ma...Mako. He reminded me of Makoto, so I named him Mako!"

"He's so cute~ I wish Makoto-kun could do that~ I would hug him forever and ever~"

You will be able too soon enough Yumi-chan~ I want you to hug me forever and ever!

"Ise-kun, you've built up your muscles. I wonder what Makoto-kun looks like now...I would imagine thinner and cuter."

I send an annoyed look at Yumi-chan who is oblivious to me.

"Yeah! He would certainly be thinner!"

(Don't forget that I could take a chunk out of your neck from where I am sitting.)

I threaten with a whisper. Aniki cries and nods. He knows I'm so totes jealous...I really should stop saying totes jealous. I am totes jealous! But, I have become more powerful during this training! And, I wont hold anyone back anymore! A Maou personally trained me with Behemoth-chan and others help!

"Oh, Ise and Kiba."

Ooh, that's Xenovia-senpai. When I looked...what the hell? Is she trying to run for mummy of the year?

"But, y-you, what's with that appearance…?"

When Aniki timidly asked that, Xenovia-senpai looked over her appearance again and spoke.

"Yeah. I became like this because I trained, got injured and bandaged myself, and then trained, got injured and bandaged myself again."

"You're like a real mummy woman!"

"How rude. I have no intention of being preserved forever, you know?"

"That's not what I meant!"

She's not understandable as usual. Hm, it seems lots of people have gotten stronger during the training. Everyone's aura so far are thicker and denser. It really is a pleasure to see such things, and to feel it at the same time.

"My, such a cute fox."

Xenovia-senpai came over and petted my head lightly, but also it was a little roughly also.

"Ise, where did you get such a cute fox? I want him."

She wants me? Wait until she finds out it is me! That would be funny.

"O-Oh...I found him and made him my familiar! His name is Mako!"

"After Makoto? How sweet."

Xenovia-senpai picked me up and held me tightly to her chest. Aniki sends me an annoyed look. As if I could do anything when I'm a cute fox. Suddenly, I feel Asia-chan's presence so I break Xenovia-senpai's hold on me and rush towards Asia-chan and get onto her shocked shoulder.

"W-Well, aren't you affectionate? You are really cute foxy-kun!"

"Thank you Asia-chan!"

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

Asia-chan, Xenovia-senpai and Yumi-chan let out screams while Aniki chuckled to himself. Yumi-chan comes over to Asia-chan and pets my head.

"Y-You are...Makoto-kun, aren't you?"

"That's right! I am Makoto! Hehe, its been awhile Yumi-chan, Asia-chan."

Yumi-chan rips me from Asia-chan and starts spinning around with me in her arms. This feels really good. As we are spinning, she hugs me into her chest! Ooh, this is good~

"Kiba-san! Makoto-san was in my arms!"

"Uu, but this Makoto-kun is a very cute one~ I couldn't control myself. I had to hug Makoto-kun immediately or risk dying of cuteness overload."

"W-Well, I want to hug the fox Makoto-san too!"

"Later! I want to hug him tightly right now."

As they fight about hugging me, my Fallen Angel servant comes forward. Hehe, she's been training really hard. Upon looking at her wings, Aniki makes a shocked face.

"Raynare...your wings..."

"Ah, yes. It is all thanks to Master and Azazel-sama. I am now a four winged Fallen Angel. My rank has increased along with my power! And now, I can access things at the Grigori easier than I have been able to before. Before, I had to go through certain things to get items from the Grigori, but there are less restrictions now."

"W-Well...that's good I guess."

"It is a good thing Ise! But, wow. Everyone has gone through a transformation huh. Kiba, Xenovia, Asia, and Ise have all gotten stronger auras. This is all thanks to effort!"

"Well, you've changed since the last I saw you, in personality."

That's true Aniki. She has gone through a change, and so have I. I also have gone through something I shouldn't mention to them, especially Aniki as he might be upset with me for getting one earlier than he did. But I have been working extra hard ever since this whole training arc of my life began. I have fought so many people.

"Ara, it seems everyone from the group that went out has returned."

"Buchoooooooou! I wanted to see you!"

"Ise…You've become very robust, haven't you? Your chest is thicker. Ise, I'm getting all turned on right now...I'm wet..."

I didn't want to hear that! Sicko! She's really disgusting! As if I would want to hear her say such things about Aniki, perverted pervert.

"Now then, everyone. Please come in. Once you've taken a shower and changed clothes, we'll meet to report the outcome of our training...ooh Maou. What's that cute fox? I want it! Yumiiiiiiiiiiiii! Hand over the fox and no one gets hurt!"

Shit! She wants me also! Aniki is giving me the death glare! I never said anything to her! She comes over and rips me from Yumi-chan and coos at me.

"Oooooooo! You might be the cutest thing I've ever seen! Do you want Onee-sama to look after you?"

Did she just call herself Onee-sama?

"Buchou..."

"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH! IT SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE! WHO ARE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!?"

Did she just ask who I am? Couldn't she tell by my voice? I don't understand that at all.

"Its me, Makoto."

"Holy shit...you are so cute! I am Onee-sama to you! Come with me my cute fox!"

She sends a glare at the others then ran off with me in her arms! Ooh damn! I somehow feel like Aniki might be angry at me. I don't understand it myself, but Buchou loves me being in her arms.

We make it to Aniki's room and she sits on the bed and places me on her lap, and refuses to let me move.

"Erm Buchou..."

"No Makoto. Stay there and let me pet you."

As she pets me, Azazel-sensei comes in and lowers himself to Buchou's lap level. He looks me straight in the face.

"Is something wrong?"

"Haha! No, of course not. I just heard from Serafall. You are amazing, you know that Makoto?"

I blush in embarrassment. Hehe, I'm amazing apparently. Buchou's face turns downwards in confusion.

"What are you talking about Azazel?"

"You've not heard, Rias?"

"Heard what? Makoto, have you done something?"

I look away shyly. I've done lots of things, I don't want to boast about it however. It would be like I am rubbing it in their faces, when that isn't my intention at all.

"Heh, Rias. Makoto, has been recommended for a promotion to middle class Devil and it has been accepted."

She opens her mouth wide and looks at me for confirmation. I nod at her in confirmation. It is true, I've been recommended for promotion to middle level Devil and it has been accepted!

"W-What...how...why?"

"Because...I've been doing so much. Fighting Khaos Brigade members, Longinus users and even killed lots and lots of members for them. Also other missions for Maou-sama's and even baby sitting. I think that was the hardest, hehe."

"You've fought Longinus users!?"

I nod with an embarrassed blush at Buchou. That bastard Georg-san got away, but he wont be able to run forever. Magician or not, he's going to pay for trying to kill Raynare-san.

"Two Longinus users yes. Dimension Lost, and Annihilation Maker are the main threats I've had to deal with. Unfortunately, they got away. But I was able to outsmart that bastard Georg-san and get passed his Dimension Lost, by using an unknown ability to me until that fight. It truly is a troublesome Longinus... But that poor boy, Leonardo-san. He didn't look like he should be with the Khaos Brigade, the same could be said for Jeanne-san actually."

"Holy crap. I didn't know it was two top tier Longinus' Makoto!"

Azazel-sensei seems a little angry at me. I thought Sera-tan might've mentioned it to them. But, I guess she hasn't. Well, she's also busy so I couldn't expect her to do everything.

"W-Well...it wasn't planned, if that's what you were thinking. We were ambushed by Georg-san and attacked by him and Leonardo-san also. Its a miracle we didn't die actually. I'm so glad Grayfia-sama was on that mission also. And if it wasn't for Raynare-san, Ravel-san and Sakura-chan also...well, it would've been disastrous. But, it just means we have more information on the Khaos Brigade. Those two I mentioned, along with a girl called Jeanne-san was the ones we dealt with on that particular mission. Ooh, I also met Ophis-san, the Dragon God."

It wasn't easy, and I nearly died a bunch of times but somehow I survived. That's what I am anyway, if being locked away has taught me anything, I am a survivor and I will keep on surviving. I remember a little more about being locked away...its hard to think about, but I remember the feeling of death lingering around me everyday for my young life. Even though, it shouldn't make sense at all, I have two separate memories. And the ones I like to focus on are the ones with Aniki, not the one being a puppet for Master...that man.

"It isn't any wonder you're getting a promotion. Defeating Kokabiel, fighting Longinus users and destroying countless Khaos Brigade members bases and even meeting the Dragon God Ophis. Wow, I'd say you've been the busiest during this training. Congratulations on the promotion!"

"T-Than you Buchou. But, please don't tell Aniki. It isn't like I wanted to be promoted so soon, but if it helps towards my dreams then...I am happy that I am getting promoted."

"Eh, why don't you want me to...ooh, I see. Yeah, Ise might be jealous of you or something. Don't worry, my lips are sealed for now. But you'll have to tell him eventually. When is this promotion test?"

"...I think it is sometime after your Rating Game with Sona-san."

I reply honestly. I'm not exactly sure, but Ravel-san is sorting everything out for me, which is really sweet.

"Is that so? Then, I know we the Gremory group will become to support you in your endeavours. And I'm sure that whore Sona will also support you...since I heard about you kissing!"

"Y-You heard about that!?"

She nods mischievously.

"I did. I don't know who else knows, but I know and Akeno because that bitch got it out of me."

Of course she did. Sometime later, the others come into Aniki's room. I don't even know why we are in Aniki's room. But we are in Aniki's room right now listening to the others training. As they are talking, Aniki makes a comment.

"Umm, sensei, wasn't I the only one living a cruel lifestyle…?"

"I was also just as surprised that you could survive on the mountain. I thought that you would run home midway. That you would begin to live normally on that mountain was also completely outside my expectations."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!? What's with that…? I-I hunted, judged, baked and ate rabbit-looking animals and wild boar-looking animals native to the Underworld, you know…? I kept water in a water canteen after boiling and sterilising it once on an iron pan I found on the mountain…"

"That's why I was surprised. You're too sturdy. In some ways, you have surpassed Devils."

"How cruel! I lived while being chased around everywhere day after day by a Dragon on that mountaaaaaain! Do you know how many times I was close to death!? Ueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!"

Poor Aniki is crying about being chased by a Dragon. Try and fight Longinus users and fighting countless Khaos Brigade members while doing training from Sera-tan who is very strict at training and finally confronting a Dragon God! That was very scary indeed. Even if she didn't attack, it was just so scary being in her presence, even if familiar.

"I wanted, I so wanted to see Buchou! I wrapped myself in leaves and slept while remembering Buchou's warmth every niiiiiiiiight! It was so hard! The Dragon Ossan wouldn't go easy on me and also attacked while I was sleeping! He blew off rooooooocks! I was assailed by forest fiiiiiiiiire! I ran awaaaaaaaaay! If I didn't run away, I would have diiiiiiiiiiiiied!"

"Poor Ise…You endured a lot, didn't you? Yes. Ise, you became so sturdy…That Mountain doesn't have a name, but I'll name it Mt. Ise from now on."

Buchou is going to call it Mt. Ise huh. Well done Aniki! You got a mountain named after you!

"No, even so, your physical strength seems to have improved considerably. With this, the time when you can wear the armour in Balance Breaker has just about arrived. But, you weren't able to attain Balance Breaker, right?"

Azazel-sensei didn't seem particularly disappointed that Aniki hadn't attained it. I felt that he didn't attain it. But, that doesn't mean anything as he will attain it someday soon! As for me...I haven't got a clue when I will attain Balance Breaker at all.

"Well, the possibility of you not attaining it was also within the range of my predictions. Yeah, you didn't receive any shock, Ise. I mean, its impossible to attain Balance Breaker when there are no dramatic changes. I thought that something would be changed in you through the survival lifestyle and by coming into contact with a Dragon King class Dragon, but the time wasn't enough. If it was at least for one more month…"

He wants Aniki to do it for another month? Hehe, good luck. If I had to fight more Longinus users at my current level alone, I think I will actually die.

"Well, its fine. The report meeting ends here. Tomorrow is the party. You're all dismissed for today."

Well that's that then. Azazel-sensei said we could go, so everyone cleared out of the room save for Buchou and Aniki...I wonder what they will be doing? Hehe, I turned back into my human form and start walking away from the castle...

"Makoto-kun!"

"Mako-kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!"

Two cries from behind me...Yumi-chan and Gasper-chan. They come rushing up to the clueless me. Then Yumi-chan and Gasper-chan both hug me tightly.

"W-Whats wrong?"

"You don't have to go right now, right? You don't have to...go for the night, right?"

I shake my head. I just thought about heading back to Sera-tan, but it isn't pressing that I go.

"Then, why don't you stay...here for the night? With Gasper-chan and I? That is, if you want to?"

"Hehe, of course I would love to stay with my mate, and girlfriend."

"R-Really? Then, great! Lets go to my room Makoto-kun!"

So I'm dragged to Yumi-chan's room, and practically forced on the bed. Those two then stripped down to nothing but panties and get on the bed also! Gasper-chan to my left, and Yumi-chan to my right cuddling me. Hehe, I missed this. Usually, even Sera-tan wouldn't be able to do this as I was either on missions or getting nearly killed. I've not done this with girls for so long...

"Mako-kun...I've missed Mako-kun so much!"

"I missed you as well Gasper-chan."

I kissed the top of her head in an affectionate manner. She blushed brightly and snuggled into my chest. I continually pet the back of her head until she falls asleep. As for Yumi-chan, she's smiling up at me.

"I-Is something the matter Yumi-chan? You just keep...smiling at me."

"Hmmmm, I was just thinking about you, that's all. Makoto-kun, I love you so very much. I'm so happy right now, being here with you like this...but there's something missing."

"Eh?"

I make a confused face. She rubs my legs delicately and works her way upwards...!

"W-What are you doing?"

"Erm...I was just rubbing your leg. Do you not want me to?"

"W-Well, I don't mind if you do or not. I was just shocked by the sudden touch. But I definitely liked it."

"Makoto-kun...have you had sex with Serafall-sama yet?"

I do a spit take at the question, blush furiously and shake my head at the question! She suddenly asks things like that!? I've not even had the chance to do anything with Sera-tan yet. Although I want too...

"N-Not yet, why?"

"Muu, it means we can't until you do it with Serafall-sama. It might sound weird, but please hurry and be with Serafall-sama. Because, I also want to be with you. During the training, my thoughts kept getting drawn back to you and what we would be doing..."

She trails a finger up and down my chest softly! Ehehe, this is the good touch.

"I-I thought about you also, Yumi-chan. And Asia-chan, Gasper-chan, Sona-san, Koneko-chan, and some others also. A-And, I will be with Sera-tan soon...hopefully, that is if she wants to be with me..."

"I-I see. Then, please hurry!"

She's really horny, isn't she? That's the only way I could describe her right now. She captures my lips with her own in a caring kiss, then she places her head softly on my chest. Soon after, my conscious faded and I entered sleep.

...The next night. I am waiting in the parlor with Aniki for the others to change, the girls. Aniki is in his usual school uniform and I am dressed in my usual butler attire when I am going to a party in the Underworld. My official dress code as Sera-tan says.

The reason Raynare-san and Sakura-chan aren't here or with the girls is because they aren't Devils so they wont be attending the party. Not that they care either. Ravel-san is meeting me there and Sera-tan is busy right now so that's why I am with Aniki and going with the others.

Well that's fine also. Being with Aniki is always fun. I never really get to see Aniki much anymore, so time that I have with him is precious, even if he only thinks of oppai mostly.

"Hyoudou? Makoto?"

That voice, when we turned, I saw Genshirou-senpai! If Genshirou-senpai is here then...Sona-san mustn't be far. I'm sure she's with the girls right now.

"Hello Genshirou-senpai!"

"H-Hello, Makoto."

We greeted one another happily.

"Saji, why are you here?"

"Ah, Kaichou will be going to the meeting place along with Rias-senpai and I followed her here. So, Kaichou went to meet with senpai and after that I inevitably ended up wandering aimlessly around the mansion, until I arrived here."

That's pretty much what I was thinking about just before. Then, Genshirou-senpai sits next to me and put on a serious face as he faced Aniki.

"The game will be taking place very soon now."

"Yeah."

"I trained."

"Me too. I was chased around by a Dragon on a mountain every day."

"I-Is that so? You've had a hard lifestyle as usual. Well, I also did an extremely hard menu."

Hehe, they have no idea what it means to nearly die. I kept coming up against people out of my league yet I survived, somehow.

"Hyoudou. Do you remember the time when the young devils gathered a month ago?"

"Yeah. What about it?"

"We were serious then…M-My…d-dream is to become a teacher!"

"Ooh senpai. You are going to become a teacher? At Sona-sans school also?"

He faces me who said that with a confused expression.

"You...also?"

"Yep! Sona-san offered me a position and I am thinking of taking it."

Aniki looks a little confused...doesn't he remember at the gathering? Genshirou-senpai faces the confused Aniki.

"Kaichou is trying to establish a Rating Game specialty school in the Underworld. It isn't an ordinary school. Its an open school for anyone and that accepts Devils regardless of whether they are high class or low class, aristocrat or commoner. I heard from Kaichou that things like discrimination and traditions have been softened in the Devil industry little by little, but there is still a part at the root of it all that refuses to accept these changes. That's why the current Rating Game School only accepts high class Devils from aristocratic families. The games have to be equal for everyone. This is what the present Maou-sama's have decided. Though its equal, the path of the games is far for low class Devil commoners. That's strange, right? Though even a non aristocratic Devil may be promoted to a high level Devil depending on the method. The possibility shouldn't be zero!"

Genshirou-senpai then starts talking about Aniki and him being the same Pawn and attaining high class Devil. Even I want to attain high class Devil one day, hopefully it is someday soon. I have so many things I want to do, and I want to do it together with Sera-tan and the others.

"Hehehe. I kept the fact that I became a Devil secret from my mother, but even so she cried when I told her about my future dream. "You, become a teacher!?" She may have said that because it doesn't suit me. But, it wasn't bad, the relieved face of my mother."

"I think that's a wonderful goal, Saji. Become a good teacher."

"Yeah, it's also for the sake of that goal that we have to beat you guys this time!"

"Ah, I see. Then, it's no good. Since we're the ones who are going to win!"

"No, its us. Since we acted so stupidly before, we have to prove ourselves with our results."

I hope he can become a teacher also. We'll do it together!

"Ise, Makoto sorry for making you wait. Ara, so Saji-kun came."

That was Buchou's voice. Buchou's dressed in a cute looking dress. Aniki's face is getting all red at looking at her, and at Akeno-senpai's dress also. Asia-chan's looking cute in her dress! So is Sona-sans dress! So elegant! So is Yumi-chan and Gasper-chan in my book! But finally...Koneko-chan...she looks adorable...I will have to take her as my Rook! Like a zombie, I walk over with outstretched arms and hug her tightly while pressing my cheeks against hers.

"...Mako-kun is embarrassing."

"I-I'm sorry! Its just...Uu, Koneko-chan is amazingly cute..."

Her face turns an adorable red colour as I continue to press our faces together. I've missed hugging Koneko-chan~ I love hugging Koneko-chan~

"Hey, everyone. Want to know the real reason we were late?"

The real reason? Buchou said this and pointed at Sona-san who sighs in annoyance.

"The reason we were late was because that bitch Sona was asking everyone to have sex with her."

"You are a fucking liar ape! If anyone would do that around here, then its you! You'd do anyone as long as it has a penis!"

"You butch lesbian! You'd do anyone, regardless of gender! Also, don't start with the ape!"

Its nice to see something's never change.

"How's your sessions with Doctor Penguin been ape?"

"None of your business! We've been doing great work together! We've conquered some issues together!"

"How many issues? Because it seems you have quite a lot left."

And as expected, she bursts out crying. She points an accusing finger at Sona-san who seems confused.

"We've been talking about you! And he wants to have a joint session with you participating!"

"A joint session? Why?"

"What are you, stupid!? You're the root cause of so many problems in my life! You hurt me more than everyone put together!"

She's making Sona-san out to be a monster!

"Is that so?"

"It is you stupid bitch!"

"Ape, if anything, I'm not stupid. There's no way I am stupid. I'm smarter than you are. And, I will do your joint session, if it means you become well again...if you were ever well before that is."

"I will tell Doctor Penguin! It is set for after the Rating Game!"

"That's fine with me. Lets get everything out of that crazy head of yours."

Buchou panted hardly. Then someone comes and tells us that Tannin-sama has arrived! Yay! We all go out to the gardens and see that Tannin-sama, and his peerage of Dragons are here!

"I came just as promised, Hyoudou Issei."

"Yeah! Thanks, Ossan!"

"While you all ride on my back, I'll place a special barrier around you. With that, your hair and clothes won't get messed up by the wind. Since those things are important to women."

"Thank you, Tannin. We'll be relying on you until we get to the meeting place. Sona and her gang are here also, is that ok?"

Her gang? Does she mean her peerage? Sona-san glared for that comment. It must be something between them.

"Ooh, Miss Rias. You're especially beautiful tonight. Please leave that matter to me."

So everyone got onto Tannin-sama's back besides Aniki who got on the top of his head. We all then take to the skies! Wow, this is amazing after all! As we are in the sky, Sona-san taps my shoulder, and gestures me to go towards an isolated spot on the Dragon Tannin-sama's back.

"I heard about your promotion. I haven't had a chance to say it yet, but congratulations."

"W-Well, it isn't anything big really..."

"Now, don't be so modest. I am really proud of you. Say, have you given any thought about my offer at the beginning of this trip?"

"...I have."

She tilts her head to the side cutely.

"Then?"

"If you would have me then...I would happily become a teacher at your school!"

"T-That's fantastic!"

In a out of character moment for Sona-san, she throws her arms around me while Buchou shakes her fist at Sona-san who is ignoring her.

"Hehe...sorry. I got...caught up in the moment. It seems I am doing that more and more when I'm around you. But, may I ask what it is that made you completely sure?"

"Hmmm? Maybe the thing that pushed me into complete yes was, Millicas-kun. Just teaching the next generation of Devils and maybe other species in the future also. We will still have to figure out what I would teach at your school, but whatever I can do, please use me in that area."

"Understood. I am sure I have a perfect place for you."

"Really? What's that then?"

She puts up a finger.

"Well, I will keep that between me, myself and I for now."

"Muu, that's so mean~"

I pout and turn away but then smile in her direction. It seems like my life will be busy in the future...but it is the present I am worrying about. I have a feeling of dread wash over me right now. Something's going to happen tonight, I can feel it.
