Is she someone important to you?!

That night after the mixer, I put my unwell Rose to bed early and told her to rest. She really put in the extra effort for her job even when she felt bad. She really does make me feel proud of her work ethic.

Grace pulled me into the bath to give me a good cleaning, no we did not play naughty-time. However we did discuss events that happened for the day, while she rubbed my back. She is in her maid mode after all. She also let me know about current events happening in the Underworld. Now that my future is unknown, I have invested extra effort in the Gremory information gathering department, which Grace is a part of.

Seekvaira Agares seems to have gotten a very poor review for her terrible loss to Sona, this is different from what I know. She as well as Sairaorg Bael have both lost a lot of political support due to their defeats. It seems the information of me training both victorious teams as well as my fight with Riser Phenex, has made many devils want to court my favor. Well those are fair weather friends, so I told Grace to have Venelana choose who she wants me to befriend. Venelana has the longest experience with the nobles so I will rely on her for this.

While I am being updated by Grace, both Rias and Akeno come into the bath with me and listen in to the talk. They can tell this is business so they wait to play.

Grace continues with her report,"Lord Riser announced he would be taking off from the professional rating games for a year or so due to the reasons of, lack of a Queen, training, and family business demands. He did say that he would be back to challenge you to a team battle in the future to the reporters!" She greeted Rias and continued,"It has been confirmed that over 70% of all devil women you healed are now pregnant! However due to most of the vouchers being used already, the demand and value of the remaining slips have exceeded the profits of even Phoenix Tears by the pure-blood devil family's!"

Rias smiles and says,"Exactly! Now with your plan we can start to Auction off your healing vouchers to the rich devils and other factions, even the fallen angels and youkai are begging for them. Your idea to get promoted to high class as a way to advertise secretly was brilliant! Now even with me being a new head, my influence will be the same as the Bael house!"

I add,"Soon I am getting with Michael secretly to lift the strict angel reproduction rules and this will put pressure on the Underworld for my slips as well! So even more will come in for our healing."

Akeno wraps her arms around my shoulders and says,"Tonight you , me, and Rias will sleep in Rias' room.....We need to celebrate our last school festival! I can be second,M-Kay~?! lick..." Little brother can never say 'no' to Akeno in sexy mode, so I just nod yes!

That night, I alternated between the Rias doggy-style and the Akeno Cowgirl-style! and man I never get bored of these two best friends. While I am filling one beauty with the other-one kissing me or shoving a boob in my mouth, they do this tag team so I can't focus! Their teamwork is flawless.

Akeno told the both of us that when she does become a high class devil, she will not participate in the games. She instead will keep her pieces open so we can recruit useful servants for the Gremory house. I knew she wanted to stay Rias Queen forever....I really admire her loyalty to Rias. But all that was shattered when Akeno told me,"Plus, cheating under Rias's nose feels so much better my lover~!" Well this sounds great too.....

It's now Friday morning and I wake up with Rias and Akeno snoring on my chest...... I then slip out of bed to get ready for the day. Today school is closed and the student council and workers will be doing cleanup and repairs to the school. And with the devil duties canceled for a week, everyone is free to go on vacations or pursue their hobbies for a few days.

Grace and Grayfia both attend me at breakfast as many of the house residents slowly make their way to eat. When the schedule is free, not everyone comes to the table at the same time and the maids bring out requested dishes individually.

Koneko is sitting in my lap and I take turns putting food in her mouth then mine....It is like feeding a kid! Well a kid that is trying to find a little brother sneakily!

So when most of us are eating, Rias asks me what my plans are for the weekend. I tell her and them,"On Sunday at noon, I will have that small wedding for Tsubaki, I told you about. And for tonight, I shall be making dinner for Yasaka at 9 o'clock this evening in Kyoto! And tomorrow, I am being forced to do a bachelor party with Saji, Motohama, my dad, Issei, and Azazel....." I then say after thinking a bit,"Then for the rest of the devil days off, I need to go to Gomorin City to take care of the territory and do healing for the devils with a voucher!"

Rias asks,"Then do you think Yasaka would give us some passes to sight see? I did not get to go to all the temples in last year's trip, and with a few days off, we can visit!" Holy shit, Rias's love for Kyoto is so great she glossed over the eating supper with the Nine-Tails hottie!

I put up a finger and magic circle Yasaka,"Hello!....... Ah no I am not canceling on you ha-ha! I was calling to ask for a dozen or so passes so Rias and our peerages could site-see for the weekend?...... That's right......... Grayfia? Sure I will ask her......... Ah also what kinds of food do you like?...... Got it!...... Yes, that's right at 9 o'clock!.... Sure I will tell Issei she wants to meet him...... Me too see you tonight, goodbye!" I then end the call.

Rias asks,"So we can site see?! Also now that I think of it, how is your relationship with Yasaka progressing?" She has that calculating smile on her face....

I sigh and tell them,"Well we talk everyday, so I can say we have become good friends. I don't know what we are beyond that? She is a youkai princess after all of the West Faction.... And she has not clearly told me her feelings.... But my powers tell me she would not call a man every day if she was not at least interested, I think? However it seems the youkai of Kyoto treat the Gremory devils very well?!"

Rias smiles and tells me,"Dear, for as smart as you are you seem to have absorbed some of Issei's denseness at times! Well, if you decide to pursue Yasaka, the house of Gremory would only benefit from this friendship, so I personally approve!.....And see if you can get me a full-time pass for the temples in the future!" Why does her statement stink of prostitution?!

Issei says,"President, how am I dense?!" SMACK! Kris just whacked him with her paper-fan and her eye is twitching....

I tell Issei,"Oh, and Yasaka told me to bring you to meet with Kunou so she can give you guys a tour today! She is very excited to meet you again..." He looks surprised remembering his Kyoto little sister type!

Rias giggles and says,"Good strategy! Mother and daughter, I guess if it worked once it would work twice, right Matsuda?!" Why do I feel an imaginary knife in my side with that comment?

Grayfia asks me in maid mode,"Lord Gremory, what would princess Yasaka want with me?" She seems curious.

I write down Yasaka's new cell number from the phone I bought her and pass it to Grayfia,"She asked to speak with you as soon as possible, she wanted to talk about your first meeting back then I think? Well she seemed excited to talk with someone of the same generation I think..." Grayfia learned and burned the number. Then she left the room probably to call her?

Issei leans in and asks,"Brother, are you seriously having dinner with that hot fox woman?! Damn so unfair! I am only getting stuck sightseeing with her daughter and you get to look in the heavenly valley over a meal! I really hate you, my best friend! I hope you get erectile dysfunction tonight!!!!" SMACK! Damn Kris likes that fan, sorry even Sona could not smack the perv from him! Actually Rias just lets Akeno paddle Issei when he does bad shit... Then Akeno released all her built up energy on me!

Yasaka later told Rias to pick up their passes at the Kyoto Sirzechs Hotel. Mostly the first and third years are the ones going with Rias, while many of the second years do things like spend time with family or guard the house. Rias is only going until Sunday night and Issei will come back with me tomorrow.

I am wearing my white business-suit with a black shirt and crimson tie with sunglasses. While the others site see, I will be doing work at the hotel till the evening comes. Serafall also told me to inspect her new Hotel while I was over there, since I am Sona's husband. this is nothing for me so I said yes.

Grace is leading a small team of Yakuza looking devils from the Gremory Group, and the five are taking me everywhere I need to be for business.

When I returned at sunset to the Penthouse, grace took care of my lustful desires to relieve my tension, well my gear said if I wanted a peaceful night with Yasaka I needed to disarm the [Grace Yandere Bomb] before it could blow!

She then dressed me in a Gremory men's Yukata that is black with gold trim, like the one I gave Yasaka. The symbol on the back is the Gremory magic circle for the house.

I then with Grace's help prepped all the food I would cook later. Having everything cut and marinating ahead of time is a must for high end foods. Yasaka told me she had an omnivorous diet with a taste for chicken over other meats....Well this is a common trait of the fox animal, and youkai's have some of their animal preferences.

Well Kuroka is a cat youkai but loves swimming naked, however some cats, particularly big cats love the water. Koneko is not as much of a pool girl as her big sister. And yes, Kuroka calls me almost everyday, unless they are in a region that blocks communication. And there was this time she and the monkey got trapped in a magic-gored treasure like the treasure from Naruto! Vali did not let them out as punishment for being stupid. Well I kinda agree with Vali, but I had been worried about her during that time. She keeps bitching at me for not getting her pregnant yet?! Um she only stayed for a short while?!

It is 8:30 pm and my phone rings.... It is Yasaka calling. I answer,"Hello Yasaka, I hope tonight is not canceled?"

Yasaka hurriedly responds to my joke,"NO! I was so excited that I came early. May I come up now?" Oh Issei I think you're going to get a nose bleed!

I say with a smile due to my immature side kicking in,"I am just glad you 'Came'! 'Come' right up! I am happy to accompany you." She then hung up the phone and I got ready to meet her at the door.

Grace, knowing my facial expressions says,"My Lord, I can tell you are more excited than usual to meet someone.... Is she someone important to you?"

I think and tell her,"I hope so, but I also don't want to get my hopes up.... She is someone I wanted to save. And she was a woman I once desired in another time... But fiction and reality are two different things. Even if nothing happens with this woman I have once longed for, I am just happy I could save her and her daughter. So yes, a part of me is anticipating supper!"

Men's Yukata look....
