Chapter 6: Meeting of Heirs
"Tch, I escape."
The black silhouette in front of Sengo could be heard speaking hatefully.
—I wonder why you want to end his life.
The black silhouette turned his gaze to Sengo, but he didn't answer what he said.
What's more, he had left, leaving Sengo alive.
—This is all very strange... it just makes me think that Mikoto is a special case, but it's full of unknowns because there's nothing weird about her actions since I came to him, she's empty to suspect anything.
With his katana he made a breach to get out of the dark room.
—All I can do is keep a closer eye on him to find out why they wanted to kill him.
With the latter he emerged from the infinite darkness.
—Several weeks later. —
The day of the meeting had arrived where I was going to formally meet some heirs from different important clans, but there were two people I already knew: Ravel Phenex and Sona Sitri.
I watched her from afar talking to other inheritor demons.
I met Rias as we formally greeted the demons who were approaching us.
—It's nice to meet you, Mikoto Gremory, and your sister, too.
—She's Rias Gremory, don't forget that.
I quickly returned his greeting.
Today it looked bad for Rias, all the demons who approached greeted me by name... but Rias was called "Mikoto Gremory's sister", this had caused Rias to increase his hatred and his countenance to darken.
—Before the meeting. —
I was in my room with Okā-sama choosing a set of clothes to wear for the meeting I have to go to with Mikoto-nii.
—You might like this beautiful two-piece dress!
Said the animated voice of Okā-sama wearing a beautiful black and white two-piece dress.
I got closer to get a better look at the dress and got a pleasant surprise.
—I like Okā-sama! I'm trying it right now!
—Hahaha, bring a camera, we have to take the best pictures of Rias before he enters adolescence!
Okā-sama said more cheerfully than contagious to several maids who were helping to choose a dress. Just then a clip came to my head that left me surprised and frozen for a moment.
I had forgotten that I was already entering adolescence.
I had been very busy training and fighting with Mikoto-nii and Esdeath, as well as fulfilling duties given by my father as a Gremory, which, thanks to that, made me forget something important which was that this year I turn 13 and enter my early teens.
And I didn't do anything important in my life as a demon, other than getting a [Queen] in my nobility.
I left my body on automatic as I thought about what I did being a noble demon.
And to be honest, I didn't do anything. Having a [Queen] in my nobility has only been a small step that Mikoto-nii had made first, besides-
—You look very pretty, Rias!
My mother said cheerfully as she praised me, interrupted my thoughts, but I think it was the best thing for me.
—Thank you, Okā-sama!
I responded happily as I grabbed each end of my skirt to bow.
—We need to take some pictures of Rias before he leaves for the meeting!
—But at the end of the meeting you can do that quietly.
—No! There's no charm to taking a picture later on something brand new, your charm is on the spot and your happiness comes from showing it off and showing it off!
You are only photogenic Okā-sama.
That was all I could think about.
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
Dammit.
Seriously, my clothes are tight.
"It's normal, your body is growing."
And that's something I had forgotten.
"You understand, you spend your time training, fighting and fulfilling the duties given by your father."
You may be right, but I still grew too high.
"It's a good thing, I think. There are a lot of people who would like to be tall, feel privileged."
—Be still, Mikoto-sama. —A demon in charge of taking my measurements for the suit spoke.
—Yes, yes. I replied without much encouragement.
But 150 cm, I'm only 12, I'd like to stagnate at 175 cm, it's not so high but not that low either, it's an ideal height that I want.
"I have no idea if that ideal height is going to be met."
Neither do I, but it's still a wish, it won't always be fulfilled.
—Ready, Mikoto-sama, the suit won't take more than 30 minutes to make.
—Thank you very much, I'll wait here in the room.
—Got it, we'll start making the suit.
He bowed goodbye.
Now I'm alone in my room waiting.
—I'll read a book, the hour always goes by quickly and before you know it it's time for dinner.
"The reason is because you get immersed in the story that loses track of time and that's why it goes by fast."
—Mhmm... If what you said, now don't try to talk to me, I was already immersed in the story.
"Haaah~. Okay, okay."
In the blink of an eye, the 30 minutes had passed, where the knocking of the door was heard, distracting the reading of Mikoto.
—I'm going, I'm going. Seriously, the 30 minutes went by so quickly. I grumbled in annoyance at interrupting my reading.
—Have Mikoto-sama, the suit is ready; I hope you like it.
Even if it's not to my liking, I'll still use it.
—Thank you very much for your hard work, Sebastian.
—Don't even mention it Mikoto-sama, I'm happy to serve you.
—Hmpf, you're really cool.
—Haha! Well, I'll say goodbye, Mikoto-sama, I must do other things to do Zeoticus-sama's bidding!
—May it go well Sebastian.
Bidding Sebastian farewell, I closed the door to go into my room and take out of the large box that contained the suit made to measure for me.
—Mhmm... I like it, I would even think about using it always.
I began to undress the clothes I was wearing to change into my formal suit.
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
It had been a while since my mother and several maids had taken too many pictures of me, although Okā-sama said "some" photos and the truth was hundreds of photos.
I left my room to go to Mikoto-nii to go to the meeting.
I asked a few servants on my way to know where Mikoto-nii was and they gave me some answers until the last one told me that he saw him go to the library.
So, I was walking in that direction.
Arriving at the library, I knocked hard enough to be audible to get Mikoto-nii's attention.
—Tch, you can't read in peace in this place, go bother another side Esdeath!
So Esdeath had been bothering Mikoto-nii.
—I'm Rias!
—Ah, my mistake, you can come in!
I went in and searched several corridors of the library to reach Mikoto-nii, there were many magical traces of Mikoto-nii in different corridors, so I had walked a long way to look for a book.
I managed to find it in the middle of the library.
My heart skipped a beat.
I always wondered why that was happening a while ago, only to realize that I had fallen in love with my own brother.
But what can I say, I was watching Mikoto-nii and just seeing him in that white formal suit made my heart race and my face start to warm up.
This is wrong, I'm falling more and more in love with Mikoto-nii.
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
I was reading a book in the library only to be interrupted after a minute.
I thought it was Esdeath coming back annoying, but it was Rias who had arrived.
I told him to go inside as I returned the book to the shelf where I had taken it out.
After a few seconds, Rias had arrived in the corridor in the middle of the library where he had taken out the book.
I had frozen as I watched Rias.
So late when I realized my growth.
I watched Rias closely to be surprised by his growth.
Rias had developed enough to become a beautiful young lady, you could see from afar and her breasts grown not so big, but not so small either, a perfect size you can say.
It is sure to become the envy of many women.
—We should go to the Mikoto-nii meeting. —Rias spoke as her cheeks flushed.
—Are you okay, Rias?
Point to her cheeks.
—You don't need to worry; I just need to calm down and it will pass quickly.
—Mhmm... then I'll go ahead and wait for you with Okā-san where I was scheduled to use teleportation magic.
—Thank you, Mikoto-nii.
I started to pull away as I thought about something important in my head.
"Wow, what can I say... It's the first time I've seen anything... of that kind..."
I heard Seng's confusion in my mind.
I was also confused, but I still agreed with him.
After all, the point was that Rias... My sister... He had fallen in love with me...
"What are you going to do... It's obvious that that infatuation will never go away... as long as you're around..."
There may be a solution, now at this point I can leave her alone in training.
She has her own self-discipline of training on her own.
In case of combat this Esdeath, the only thing I can say is that I'm happy that she made it to the Gremory house.
So, he won't need my help.
"But that won't be enough."
You are right... what's left is to be lucky from this meeting that a good match appears for Rias, and she falls in love with him.
"Haa~. You'll need more than luck to make that happen..."
I can't do anything, I don't like to meddle in other people's business, I can only hope that the right one for Rias will show up.
"You Hahahahahahaha!"
Listen to Sengo's laughter.
I stopped thinking about Rias while my mind was filled with Sengo's laughter, after all the Rias topic was already tedious.
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
We had arrived at the meeting, and I saw two familiar faces.
—Welcome to the meeting, it was organized by the Maous as a special event to make friends with the other heirs of different clans!
—Thank you.
I replied to the demon dressed as a host.
I still wonder why the Maous would do this, it can't be a simple presentation of making friends... It's like they're planning something in the future...
"I would think of a war in the future, when I was alive on one occasion, they did the same thing before they went to war."
Weren't you a blacksmith?
"Yes, along with my wife, we still went to the war we didn't want."
Mhmm... So, a war... So, it won't be a simple presentation... it's looking for reliable allies...
"That would be the Maous' plan, as there are still heirs too young and the war may go on for several years; The plan would be for them to become friendly in the future and become allies who can trust each other with each other to participate in the battle that may come in the future, after all it is better to have reliable allies."
Seriously thank you Sengo, now I can understand this better.
"Don't worry, like I said it was something they did in the past when I was alive."
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
We had arrived near a large window to look out at the outside of the castle while greeting the other heirs who approached us to say hello.
—Mikoto Gremory! It's a great pleasure to meet you cousin!
I heard the animated voice of a boy with black hair and violet eyes just like mine.
—Sairaorg Bael, the former heir expelled from Bael to come back in a big way and defeat your younger brother and regain your throne, seriously this one that boils my blood from wanting to fight you.
—Hahaha! I say the same thing, I heard from Aunt Venelana that you never use the Bael clan's power of destruction, that makes you too interesting and you want to beat yourself.
He ended up expelling a strong current of air around the room, wherever he could see a white aura surrounding Sairaorg.
—Oh, so that's the famous Touki brought to its fullest glory. I ended up smiling wildly, he was motivating me.
Strong pressure!
You could hear how the floor, walls and ceiling began to crack little by little.
In my case, I never made an effort to improve the [Touki], I had learned it at the time; But I had focused on training and pushing my body beyond its limit.
Thanks to that, I ended up getting interesting things, like expelling a pressure that was bending to me without the need for magic.
It was true pure power at its finest.
—You're interesting, too, Sairaorg!
—Hahaha I'm already noticing!
We look around as the other demons fell to their knees under the sudden pressure I released.
I also glanced at Rias, he was struggling not to kneel... Seriously, it has become strong.
I don't need to worry about her in the future, she can defend herself and fight for herself.
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
I was on my knees under the sudden pressure released by the ruddy boy known as Mikoto Gremory.
Next to me were several demons in the same situation as mine.
—I'd like to fight, but this place isn't the place for you.
Listen to Mikoto Gremory's voice also stopping the pressure that made us kneel.
He's too strong being so young, he'll be someone to fear in the future if he keeps getting stronger.
I also turned my gaze to the reddish-haired girl who was accompanying Mikoto Gremory to one side, I don't really remember her name, but for obvious reasons it must be her sister.
I decided to reach out to make friends.
—Hello, it's nice to meet you, Mikoto Gremory, and also your sister; My name is Seekvaira Agares, I hope to become friends.
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
Same thing again.
No one knows my name, they only know Mikoto-nii.
These feelings of hatred continue to grow in my heart.
Ever since I got here, I've felt overshadowed by Mikoto-nii's presence.
I'm not happy at all about being Mikoto-nii's shadow.
—I'd like you to get along with Rias, maybe you'll become best friends.
I heard Mikoto-nii say that while smiling nervously, I didn't understand why he was nervous.
—It's all right. He looked at me. You can call me Seek-chan, I'd like to form a great friendship with you, you'd like to walk around and talk about anything.
—I think it's a good idea.
I need to clear my mind; I was collapsing because of that feeling of inferiority.
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
That was very close.
"Your sister narrowly missed and released her aura of destruction."
Yes... She was already overwhelmed by that feeling of inferiority and also how my presence overshadowed her... this is turning out too badly for Rias...
"Too much to be honest, it was supposed to be a distraction to come to this meeting and have fun meeting new people... but it's turning out to be a catastrophe for your sister."
Haaah~... I think it was a bad idea to come to this place.
It's best to stay away from this place for now.
"Let's go to the food table, see if there are any candies."
Okay, okay.
Arriving at the food table I heard a voice that stopped me at the moment of choosing some sweets.
—It's a wonderful thing to meet, Mikoto Gremory.
A beautiful almond-eyed girl with long blonde hair with blue tips dressed in an elegant red formal dress came up to me, next to her was another beautiful little silver-haired girl with a few hairstyle ponytails, wearing a white dress with an unbuttoned black button-down coat.
—It's nice for me to know them, if my memory serves me right, they must be Latia Astaroth and Iryuka Glasya-Labolas.
Latia Astaroth let out a melodic laugh and the girl Iryuka Glasya-Labolas alone nodded with her stoic face.
"For some reason you always meet beautiful girls, surely in the future they will be great beauties who will be the envy of many women."
I'm thinking the same thing... And that's a big problem that I wouldn't want to be surrounded by.
—Where are Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas and Diodora Astaroth? The truth is that I haven't seen the heirs of his family.
—They... in case my brother Diodora is in a private room so that no one disturbs him.
—Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas is becoming a womanizer. —Direct and curt said Iryuka Glasya-Labolas.
I end up pointing to a place where there was a pillar where I saw a guy with green hair and eyes of the same color, he also has pointed ears. That person was surrounded by beautiful girls of the same age as us (unlike Iryuka Glasya-Labolas, he seemed to be the same age as Ravel).
—Eeehh... I guess interesting?... I really have no idea how I should interact with that kind of person... but the case of Diodora may be a good time for me, is your brother reading a book?
I asked Latia Astaroth, wondering if I have anything in common with Diodora.
—It's their favorite pastime, they'd get along for sure, if you're a bookworm too.
I felt like she was having fun by calling me a bookworm, the girl named Iryuka Glasya-Labolas.
He held back his laughter very well, but his body shuddered to hide it.
Latia also started looking at her once, realizing that she was looking at Iryuka Glasya-Labolas.
Noticing this, she stopped her choked laughter.
—Um... I am sorry.
"I can tell you, my opinion."
Say.
"I like her."
Well, we think the same thing, it's the first time I've met a stoic and straightforward girl.
—I like you, just call me Mikoto, can I call you Iryuka?
Assent. —Yes, I'll be happy to make friends with you, Mikoto.
We shook hands, and now we look at Latia with a dumbfounded face.
I never seemed to imagine a development like this.
—I'd also like to make a friendship with Miss Latia Astaroth.
He recomposed his posture and nodded to my words.
—I'd rather you call me by my first name too, and let me call you just Mikoto, too.
—It's all right. You'd like to chat a bit more, but first I'd like to pick out some sweets.
—I came for the sweets, too. —Straight as an order said Iryuka.
Sigh. —Okay, let's choose a tray to carry the sweets, I'll ask a servant to bring us tea, it will be our first tea party to better formalize our friendship with a chat and sweets. —Latia said gracefully.
—I agree. —I said to Iryuka who nodded in agreement, as she began to fill two trays with different candies, I grabbed a few of my liking.
Latia had approached a servant dressed as a waiter to prepare a private room for a tea party.
Hearing this request, the servant departed.
Latia had come to us.
—Um... You really went out of your way to fill the trays with candy. —Latia said with a drop on her forehead seeing the ridiculous amount of candy chosen by Iryuka, she had formed a pyramid with the candy on each tray.
—Mhmm... I really don't think I eat a lot of sweets... —was my reply as I resisted the urge to vomit from the exorbitant amount of sweets.
—We won't all eat the same, it was to show off my masterpiece of sweets, I wanted to make the Eiffel Tower, but there wasn't enough candy to make that tower. —Iryuka said serenely with a stoic face.
She was serious about building the Eiffel Tower.
Sigh. —It's okay, it's okay. Let's go for now, it looks like we already have our private room.
I looked from afar at the servant who had spoken earlier, Latia.
We walked up to him who led us the way to our private room.
I was thinking that this friendship with them would be fun, especially with Iryuka.
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
—Oh, how beautiful you are, as she calls you, fair young lady, I introduce myself; Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas a handsome young man to serve you!
Rias was looking at the boy who had grabbed his right hand without warning.
I pulled out his hand roughly, releasing the grip of the boy who was about to kiss the back of his hand.
—Oh, I like a rough girl, I like her! —He said with delight of happiness, looking intensely at Rias.
—You'd better stop and leave, you're interrupting our conversation. —Seek-chan said coldly.
—I recommend that you don't interrupt the time I'm spending with my childhood friend. —Another cold voice sounded like it belonged to Sona.
—I'd like no one to interrupt me from getting along with my fiancé's sister. —Ravel is now heard talking seriously and releasing a little of his family's fire.
—Wow, wow, this is incredible, you are all beauties, but no one can beat the majestic body of crimson beauty!
We all gave a look of disgust at their faces repulsive with carnal desire.
I approached him, my nerve had built up from a while ago and I needed to be released, I couldn't bear to keep holding him back.
—Oh, it comes to me by yourself, it's something I'll be very proud to show off to my friends!
—Rias… —I heard their concern.
But they didn't need to worry, I have two teachers who trained me roughly.
Being close enough to the smelly womanizer.
—By the way, you never told me what your name is-
I grabbed his head as fast as I could and with my knee, I was preparing to hit him in the nose area.
I lowered his head sharply as I pushed my knee forward.
Crack!
All the demons in the hall were frozen by the savage sound of broken bone.
They began to look in the direction where that sound was coming from.
I managed to see all of them with faces of surprise and fear at my action.
But what can I say, I was already angry and full of hatred for one little thing.
—My name is Rias Gremory, may you never forget that.
An aura of darkness had surrounded me at the time of saying that with hatred and coldness, even frightening my new friends I made at this meeting.
I was no longer mentally well.
It was obvious that it was going to collapse at any moment.
I can only be thankful that this idiot was the sacrifice to release my hate.
With that I went somewhere else, I didn't want to be with anyone right now.
I was also thankful that none of them came near me because I had also broken a bone.
» ━━━━━━ « » ━━━━━━ «
—Several weeks after the meeting of the heirs. —
I had summoned my brother to the same place where we trained and also fought.
I was angry about myself.
For some reason now the noble demons compared me to Mikoto-nii, being the most useless of the Gremory.
Even if I tried hard to be equal to Mikoto-nii I always overcame without any difficulty any obstacle given by my father, even being the same age, he started participating in the Rating Game leaving me too far behind to reach him and that was not the only thing, he had won by himself without Esdeath's help all the Rating Game.
I'm too far away to even see his back.
Mikoto-nii was at a pinnacle that would never come.
I was stuck and it was eating away at my mind.
—I came, seriously, why did you call me here; Today is a day of rest.
Hear Mikoto-nii's voice coming to the training ground.
—I'm upset, very upset! Why does he always compare us when I don't do anything you do?
"So, this moment came, I knew that one day this would come. No matter how many times Rias the opposite of me did, I always judged her and compared her to me. When we were younger they began to look at Rias as useless as a demon of the Gremorys, it may have been because of his intelligence, power, magical power or perhaps... ambition; Rias hasn't shown any ambition, she's grown up like a spoiled child without seeing the other side of the coin, she hasn't seen how dangerous the world is; there's a big difference between hearing the danger and living it, that it would serve Rias to hear the danger without having lived it, she would just turn a deaf ear without worrying about it at all." Mikoto thought.
—No matter how hard I tried to meet the expectations of others, I will always be remembered as Mikoto-nii's shadow! And years will pass, and I will still be in your shadow, I don't want to be remembered in the future as Mikoto-nii's sister! I want to be remembered for myself as Rias Gremory!
"That! The ambition that Rias lacked! I had thought years ago that this was a double-edged sword, the burial of Rias or the revival of her!" Mikoto thought as he began to show a seriousness in his eyes and hid from himself his happiness that his sister is changing.
—If she's so worried about that, show it.
Mikoto-nii said with a deep seriousness in his voice and face.
—Show me that you can make your own life as Rias Gremory, and not as my shadow. So, fight me and use everything of you, it doesn't matter that you cheat, but prove to me that you can surpass me someday.
—Then I'll fight to prove that I can catch up with you! No better, I'll show that I can even surpass you!
My entire body began to surround itself with a dark aura as I prepared myself in an attack stance.
Mikoto-nii had shifted into a fighting stance that I never saw him do in any training or fights we'd had.
She spread her legs as she bent him, then watched as she brought her arms back as if gaining momentum to throw a punch.
—I'll be serious, so don't think I'll be nice to you.
As if it were an important warning, my head was looking at the sky, and I felt a strong pain in my forehead.
I watched out of the corner of my eyes as Mikoto-nii approached with karate blows.
I tried to defend myself, but their attacks had come faster.
A karate punch hit my neck hard, burying me in the ground where it cracked from the monstrous force of the karate punch.
Without letting myself defend myself, I received several blows from karate that kept sinking me to the floor for each blow given.
Then I found myself levitating in the air where I could stare at the sky.
I felt a pressure in my shoulder that caused me to descend to receive a strong knee to my rib where I felt it break.
—AAAAAHHHHH!
I couldn't help but let out a loud cry of pain and also close my eyes.
Before my body touched the ground, Mikoto-nii grabbed my head tightly to receive a knee to the entire nose, breaking it.
Blood gushed out of my broken nose that ended up falling to the floor.
Seriously, Mikoto-nii won't let me breathe.
As if answered, I received a strong kick in my right shoulder that ended up dislocating it.
After beating me up where I ended up bleeding from my nose, broken bones in my rib, dislocated arm, Mikoto-nii started talking.
—As someone said, "No matter how many times you fall, the important thing is that you get up once again, every obstacle is an opportunity to grow, learn and show what you are capable of, don't compare yourself with others, each person has their own path, focus on yourself and your goals and work hard to achieve them, No matter how long it takes, the important thing is to keep moving forward and not give up." —Mikoto-nii began to approach me. —Get up and show me if you are willing to forge your own path.
As if it were the sweet word of a snake as was the story of Eve, I began to get up little by little with the little strength I had left, I began to straighten my back and head to direct my gaze to Mikoto-nii as a challenge.
My eyes shone with intense fire without letting myself be overcome by Mikoto.
—I WILL RISE AND CONTINUE TO RISE NO MATTER WHAT OBSTACLES LIFE THROWS AT ME, NO ONE WILL DENY AND OPPOSE THE FUTURE I WISH TO BUILD FOR MYSELF!
I roared with all my might to the sky as if it were a challenge against fate.
Another fight began, but it was no longer a simple fight of self-improvement, it was a fight of desire and willingness to never give up fating to have me prepared in the future and overcome it.
I will continue to move forward and improve.
For my own benefit.
(-)
I want to finish fucking their youth!
So, it will be quick to get to the DxD canon where Issei will appear, 1 or 2 chapters and we will be there at Kuoh Academy.
Because the truth is that I'm moving slowly.
Now I do say goodbye, but I leave you an image of Rias when he was 10 years old that I never used because I wanted to advance the story quickly, because I wanted to show with Mikoto's thought that Rias was already developing and he never paid attention to it, so I used that idea now with Mikoto and Rias being close to turning 13 (The next chapter will be that birthday), Well I hope you like this illustration, now I do say goodbye because later there are bullets where my grandmother lives with my uncle and aunt (I am here visiting my grandmother years later who, thank God, still keeps her alive and healthy).
Now yes chao, chao.
