Shopping is something standard and everyone knows that. Shopping is tedious and every man knows that. Every man takes a woman shopping because they either expect something to come from it on the woman's side or because there is a chance that they can do something they want as a woman's way to thank us for taking them. Now as that isn't really a gift in truth, at the time it's a godsend.

A problem comes from this when you tell a women you'll take them shopping and completely forget the rules that man have set for it. I had completely forgotten what would happen and ultimately paid the price in both money and mental capacity. The only consolation from my idiocy is that the 'Old Maou' supporters have already drummed up support for my clan now. From the small reports I have got, a lot of devils have started to look into moving to this area.

The speed that this happened also goes to show the intencity of things, mainly women. In the human world, gossip is pretty common between women though not all do it. In the Underworld, Gossip is almost instinctual between women. It runs through their veins and is probably an easy way for them to pass the time. From what I can see, women don't fight outside of being servants in a peerage. Even the female kings of the peerages now seem to be on the backburner. Due to all of this, women take up the majority of the political front but the males are still top dog there. There is only one female noble in the supreme council and is grudgingly siding towards Leviathan because of gender alone.

The name of this female noble eludes me because well I read the letter quickly to get to the point. As the only female on the supreme council she gains a lot from the women in the underworld, primarily the lower-middle class or as she put it the 'common drabble'. The details of this letter was confirmation and a plead for support. It turned out that she was an 'Old Maou' supporter that went rogue at the end to save her bacon, well that's what came to mind at least. She had caught wind of the rumour and quickly sent me a letter asking for confirmation and if so, joint support. I would back her campaigns and in return, she would vouch for me politcally and the like. A solid trade especially with the speed it came in at, that though meant it would be best to have Katerea deal with her most of the time. After speaking to Katerea to let her know, I accepted her proposal and effectively got myself a ton of support by just that.

Looking at things from the outside, having support from the supreme council would become better than a simple tie in to a 'Pillar Clan'. The reason there being that 'Extra Demons' are still put off compared to the 'Pillar Clans'. Even though most are still pure-bloods and reasons for devils not being eradicated during the Great War, they still aren't favoured. If you are to compare everything then the 'Pillars' would be company manager, 'Extras' are manager in a certain branch and then the public is the work force. So for my clan to have support from the only female on the Supreme Council is like to have the CEO of a huge corporation in my back pocket. She is my trump card.

In this short time, my actions have allowed me to drum up huge support and put me on terms with the top 'Extra Clans'. That alone is just political power especially with having two Maous behind me and now a true one aswell. Then if we were to go into my everyday power then I hit the centre, maybe even average for an 'Extra Demon'. In this area, I can't hit the same levels as the pillar clans until I hit Ultimate-class and do exceedingly well in Rating Games both for Rias and myself but even then it may just be average levels for a 'Pillar Clan'. The reason I hit average with 'Extra Demons' despite only having 2 businesses is the Familiar Forest alone. It's a place where I have domain and like the Maous, am worshipped, if these 'Pillar' families want good familiars then they can't afford to be on my bad side in truth. It gives me a source of lordship.

That leads me on to the first winner of the familiar auction. The winner was Sirzechs or more precisely, Millicas Gremory. Millicas was old enough to go and get his familiar but Sirzechs is extremely protective so he hadn't gone yet and because even the Hydras wouldn't dare do something in my presence, Sirzechs decided to get in on the auction and pay me a hefty sum both then to win and additional after as an extra. The Extra was for me to be taken to where the stronger and more exotic creatures are. At the end of the day, I don't see why you would take a kid. They are likely to chose a monster that will kill them because they are immature or get something that is practically inneffective just because it is cute. In truth though, that doesn't matter as most familiars are used as messenger boys and because of this there will be an extra sum to pay if they want a creature that would help in battle. Millicas though surprised everyone and picked a blood wolf. A blood wolf is the most vicious of it's kind and has the ability to manipulate blood to a degree so they are great supporters along with being efficient attackers.

I ended that business transaction by signing an autograph for Millicas. Quite a healthy first deal and that spelled the end of my time in the Underworld for now and after telling Katerea I returned to the clubroom in the human world before school had finished and found Azazel sitting in Rias' chair. I sat down on my own chair and helped myself to a drink while watching a happy Azazel dressed in a tired-looking suit drawing.

My nosiness got the better of me so I decided to inquire.

"What are you doing here Azazel-nya?"

"Sirzechs asked me to help the sacred gear users of this group hit their full potential. I became the art teacher and teacher supervisor of the occult research club. The female teachers have been all over me, Azaryuu-sensei is a babe magnet."

Azazel answered me with an expected answer as he continued to draw his manga. Though i'm not sure whether the teachers are after his looks or his money.

"When do you start-nya?"

"When you all go back after summer holidays. You got like a day or so left of school before summer."

"What will summer mean while being with this devil group-nya?"

"There is the youth games if i'm not mistaken. I'm pretty sure they'll make you stay in the Gremory castle for a month."

Well .. I guess that's kinda expected if we are going to be training for the Rating Games. I have my own business to deal with, i'll have plenty of time to do as I wish so i'll leave it till then.

…

Once the school bell rang, the members of this club were quick to get here and wear expressions of surprise when they spotted Azazel happily drawing manga behind Rias' desk. Additionally was just me relaxing in the corner feasting on food and drink as I wished. When Azazel finished his chapter which took several minutes, he put down his pen and stood up.

"Now that everyone is here I can now tell you everything, something that I didn't tell Gin before and something that'll answer the Sekiryuutei's and Holy Maiden's question."

If it's just us three then that would mean our house but to tell everyone would mean … would it?

"Firstly to keep Gin in suspense would be why I am here. As the new supervisor of this club, I am to help the useless pervert, holy-demonic sword user and Gin's little Vampire excel with their gears. While on orders from Sirzechs to keep everyone but Rias safe, that is Gin's responsibility."

That bastard … Well, I don't technically have to keep her safe for her to be safe.

"Now to the second thing which is sure to piss our favourite silver cat off."

That spells doom for me. I don't wanna live there anymore.

"Last night, under Sirzechs' orders, Gin's and Issei's home was renovated. As of today all female members of the occult research club are to move in and live with the Hyoudou's. While I know most of the girls are moving there for Gin along with Issei's perverted nature, I cam up with a counter measure to stop Gin from leaving the house. Asahi will also be moving in giving Gin nowhere to go in truth."

The man's an evil mastermind. I have no reason to move out with Asahi moving in, I still feel indebted to Okaa-san and Otou-san.

"Also Gin, Kalawarnar moved into your room the other day. Supposedly she had a pillow fight with Raynare."

That caught my attention and brought it from sadness, ultimately by inciting my imagination and making my nose bleed slightly. I pinched the bridge of my nose before wiping away the blood.

"Seriously-nya?"

"Oh yeah, I also made an order exclusively for you. All females in Grigori have to wear glasses to stay a part of Grigori. They also have to be real glasses because I know how much you dislike the fakes."

"Azazel, i'm sorry for hating you on the inside-nya. I can put up with this atrocious thing that Lucifer has done to me-nya."

"Really? Then you are going to love this."

That really did catch my attention, enough of it to bring my ears and tails out to sway happily in anticipation. What happened next confused me, Azazel brought 5 jewels to his hands and passed them to me. The largest jewel was silver and held a lot more power than the others but the power was different in nature. The other four jewels were pink, yellow, red and blue in colour. The pink jewel had a 'Q' in the centre, the yellow jewel had a 'B' in the centre, the red jewel had a 'R' in the centre and the blue jewel had a 'K' in the centre.

"As you know Gin, I have been interested in the 'Evil Piece' system for a while now. These jewels are my take on it, the reason for their being 5 is because they are all linked together and as a man who has had many harems that means something."

That something is ridiculous.

"From what I remember of your harem talks, the best and most effective number of people having sex at once is 5. One man and four women-nya."

"You remember Gin, and then what?"

"That one man satisfies all four women at once-nya. Two by hand, one using mouth and then the final using the man's dick. Due to the positions, all four women can face a central position which resides over the man's chest which can mean that all four girls can make out with each other while the man is pleasuring them-nya."

"You Gin are a great subordinate, you were the only one who listened to my harem talks. My cadres just walked away, Shemahaza had 'better' things to do and Barakiel was still sulking. Even Asahi couldn't care less, he was pretty feral back then and rummaging through bins. Though you listened and remembered them and for that, I grant you the position of Cadre."

This idiot really does things at his own pace and for ridiculous reasons. I get promoted from grunt to the top just because I listened to his dumb sex talks although they might end up being helpful.

"You did set the rules so only fallen angels could be a cadre and above … Wait, is that what these jewels do-nya?"

Azazel nodded happily at me.

"That is true Gin, the silver jewel will turn you into a Fallen Angel. As this is special meaning it's not fully complete, the process only works with my blood so far. This just means that you'll have an air which resembles me and in the eyes of the supernatural, I am your father."

To become a fallen I have to be Azazel's son? That is quite the catch, becoming Azazel's kid is something no-one would want but i'll give in just so I can be a Fallen.

"Additionally, unlike the devils who like a quantity over quality each jewel is extremely strong. For example, each piece gives a boost stronger than a Queen. Those four all have a Queen's enhancement as standard and then they all have extra boosts. The pink jewel has another Queen boost on top of the original one, the yellow has a bishop boost, the red has rook and the blue has knight."

I dumped the four jewels in my pocket while keeping the silver one in my hand. Azazel hadn't told me what to do but I could feel what I was supposed to do. As I held onto the jewel in my right hand I bit down into my left arm with my canines and dripped the blood onto the jewel. The power within the jewel resonated with my blood and the blood started to connect my arm to the jewel like they were two pieces of red string.

The sunlight hitting the jewel flashed with each pulse as the silver jewel started to line my blood in a silver film. I could feel the dark powers of light filling my body, giving me a new sense of want. The two blood strings then disappeared as 6 silver feathered wings unfurled themselves behind my back as I continued to lie on the sofa and wrapped themselves around my lower body like a blanket.

I had wondered why Asahi's wings were an auburn colour where other hybrids kept their black feathers but seeing that mine fit my colour too it must be the involvement of Youkai powers. Our hair colour is important to us, extremely important. The colour Silver describes me to a tee so anything other than silver wings would be wrong as they were a part of me. The reason that the devil wings are black is because of greed and bats are black, no other reasons.

A sense of unrivalled warmth and happiness filled my body as my new wings wrapped around me. It felt like an extra sense of security in this dangerous world.

"Uhh … Gin-kun."

"What d'ya want Rias-nya?"

This repeated use of '-nya' is rather annoying. I suppose it's just as i'm getting used to the matured state of my body. As I looked at Rias awaiting her answer, I could see her dilemma in what she wanted to say.

"As much as i'd love to make a racket in the Underworld for 'desecrating the blood of a pure devil' I'd have to decline your atrocious request-nya. I have enough of you like this-nya. Being able to lord over you does sound like fun but I really can't be bothered-nya."

That's something I really can't be bothered dealing with plus i'd like people I enjoy being with taking up one of these jewels. Giving one to Rias would cause more earache than good.

…

I arrived home with the others but I wore a sceptical look compared to the others. For some reason we had to wait for the girls to pack their things, that meant Kiba, the lucky bastard, could go home first. I looked up at the enormous building that was where my standard little house was just a day or so before. It was a radical difference from two stories to multiple, possibly 6. It was like a tiny hotel. Our neighbours had been moved and we were now taking up their lots, from the magic I was feeling the garage was an external dimension of sorts. There were multiple heat signitures in there so I was expecting different cars to be there courtesy of Azazel and Barakiel. They sure did enjoy teaching me to put cars together with them.

I was the first to enter the house and quickly greeted Okaa-san and Otou-san as I made my way up a floor and noticed a small plaque saying who was on this particular floor. They were Issei, Asia, Xenovia, Parents and a spare room. I then went up another floor. That floor's plaque said Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Gasper. The floor above that was completely mine with a few spare rooms then the ones above were also spares. I don't know why they created so many spare rooms, they must think that'll I become high-class quickly and take in a number of servants, which is something i'm not gonna do.

My floor was completely void of people but my room did take up the whole of one side meaning there was only one hall instead of two. It was easy accomodation thanks to the elevator but once I had been on each floor I would result to quick teleports. Getting into my room I saw that it had changed slightly. There was a female third, my third and a spare third which housed the bed and some random things. From the look of it all, everything had been dealt with for me.

I then decided to look through the basements that had been created, of which there were 3. There was a large library/cinema room, 'indestructable' training area and a spa-like floor. Coincendentally, the training room also doubled as a conference-style room for any supernatural affairs. This is where I found both Raynare and Kalawarnar, they were both sparring until they heard the elevator ding. The first thing that went through my mind was why they were at home rather than at school today but then I thought 'I dont actually care' and dismissed it from my mind and walked into the room.

As I walked in they just stared at me with a strange sense of familiarity. When I stopped I just looked straight at Raynare before turning my head to look at Kalawarnar.

"Come on, did Azazel not tell you anything?"

"Gin-kun?!"

They both squinted their eyes in confusion.

"I certainly am-nya."

God damn nya. At least I got a hug from it, might not of been the reason for the hug though.

"Did you get the jewel things from Azazel-sama?"

So he did tell them something, just not the most important thing. That sounds like Azazel actually, I should really stop thinking practically when that man is involved.

"I sure did. Let me get this straight though, Azazel told you that I have jewels to make me a fallen and have fallen servants but not that my body had physically and mentally matured?"

They both just shook their heads at me while looking confused. I don't know what to think, Shemhaza is a poor worker or it's got to the point where it doesn't matter and he just concentrates on doing his job well, and that's probably right.

The process for the girls was the same as mine, the jewels were all linked together anyway so adding the blood makes it to a blood bond between us. I'm not sure on the exact specifics around it but it makes us more into like a hero group with me being that 'Red Leader'. It has that type of vibe to it especially with the colours there but who knows what went into Azazel's mind when he created it.

There wasn't much different after it, I didn't feel any closer or if there was like an invisible string tying us together. The only noticeable thing was a slight silver-tinge to their feathers.

"Gin-kun, will you stay to spar with Barakiel-sama?"

"He is coming to train you? I guess I will, I wanna see how I fare against him like this."

I decided to stop it there just so i can have the fighting between Barakiel and Gin in a separate chapter.
Starting off the New Year with some 'Daily Shizz' and Gin becoming a Fallen, that my gift to him.

Ciao-nya.
