Chapter 10: Dinner & Training!

Re-cap:

Lady Sitri was watching the interaction between her husband and daughter and then smirked before she spoke "Besides I heard So-Chan, loves to cuddle my dear future son-in-law while sleeping. ... isn't it right Sera-chan~..?"

Her statement caused many type of reaction. Sirzechs and Lord Sitri had a shocked face, full of disbelieve. While Rias was looking at Sona like she didn't even know who is she now. Sona face colour now could easily put Rias's hair in shame.

Serafall giggled and replied "Haii, Kaa-sama... just wait few years .. you will have lots of grandkids .."

Sona couldn't take her mother and sister teasing as she already has anime tears running down from eyes and she exclaimed "KAA-SAMA! ONEE-SAMA"

Lady Sitri and Serafall giggled at her younger daughter/ sister embracement.

Lord Sitri never expected this from Sona as he used to know his younger daughter was shy. But this girl, his daughter Sona, did something so bold not even his older daughter Serafall did before, actually Serafall never showed interest towards any male in her entire life, making both him and his wife worry for her (Serafall) future. And now his both daughters were clearly showing interest or he should say deep affection towards a boy! What did just his future son in law do to his daughters that not just he gained a liking towards him from both of his daughters, also his both daughters simply agreed to marry him when he was just suggesting. And his daughters accepted it like they are simply accepting Oxygen for breathing.

Lord Sitri vowed at that moment as soon as the this meeting will over, he was going to pay a visit to his future son in law, maybe they will have a relationship like a father and a son. He just might find a son in his future son in law. Lord Sitri always wanted a son, as having a son will surely remind him of his father and his relationship. A father and son relationship. But that doesn't mean he doesn't love his daughters. No! He completely adored them. But that also didn't mean he wanted a son too. Maybe he will just find a son...

Sirzechs somehow managed to changed back to his leader emotionless mask but his face still has a tiny amount of suprise. Surprise that Sons will do something like that. If he was told that it was Serafall then he will accept it like fish in water. But Sona? No, she was completely opposite in nature of Serafall when it comes to show affection.

Rias, one thing she could probably say, this girl isn't Sona. And even if, she was completely acting the way no one ever could imagine. Rias could probably say even Sona's parents have a very hard time to believing the way Sona's acting.

"How about dinner, Sirzechs-San..?" asked Lady Sitri with a amused smile as she looked the faces of her 'guest'. Sirzechs tried to deny it but before he could open his mouth, his own little sister best beat him into it.

"Yes..! Dinner " said Rias cheerfully, completely changing her previous behaviour. Sirzechs sighed as he looked at his little sister. His little sister maybe a clan heiress but she has a lot to learn a lot.

Sona just rolled her eyes at her former (1) best friend antics. She just refused to act like a clan heiress when it comes to food, anime and manga.

Lord and Lady Sitri merely show a small smile while Serafall ignored her existence at all.

BACK TO ISSEI

Issei was having a very hard time to not vaporized Ddraig-chan. If he thought before Tia-chan was a tease. Damn! Ddraig was proving her mere child in the field of teasing.

{So... both sister .. huh.? So kinky~} teased Ddraig with a knowing smirk that what his words gonna effect his host.

[Sisters...? Kinky..? ] said a another voice catching both of them off guard as they completely forgot there was one more presence that could easily enter in Issei mindscape, after all Issei permitted it to.

Both dragons turned around, only to find Great Red in his full glory. But there was something different about him that was clearly visible. He maybe kill anyone just because of that 'anyone' was annoying him but when he enter his baby DragonGod, he will always clam, more importantly cheerful. But right now he was no clamer. His eyes glowing/shining dangerously at Ddraig.

[What exactly do you mean by those words .. Ddraig? ] growled Great Red at Ddraig, who looked like he will be anywhere but here. And this time to Issei to smirk, knowing full well that his dad will never angry at him. And it's his time to enjoy Ddraig misfortune.

Ddraig gulped nervously as already sweating bullet. He should have know better before using those 'words'... let alone in Great Red presence even if he didn't know Great Red was here at first place. He knew Great Red is very protective and when it comes to his only son, there is no limit.

[Well you see...] Ddraig started to explain the entire story in great details as he don't want to miss single thing.

As he finished Great Red was looking at his son then him and then again his son before turning into his human form and he slowly walked to his baby DragonGod, who was looking at his dad curiously at what his dad gonna say to him.

'Is he mad' or 'What if he disappointed his dad' were the thoughts running in Issei' s mind.

Much to Issei surprise, Great Red simply walked to him and stare at him with loving and caring gaze that only a parent will show to his/her child and asked "my precious baby... Are you okay..?"

As soon as Issei registered his 'dad' question he through himself in his dad's arms. Great Red didn't waste a single second before evolving in a hug.

"I am scared dad" said Issei and then looked at his dad face and spoke again "I don't know how to treat them ? I don't know if I treat them the way they deserved? I don't know if I'm the right guy for them.. If..." before he could speak more Great Red simply put his index finger on his son lips, completely silencing him.

"Hush... my little DragonGod... there is no need to scared in first place... And about the right guy for them you asked.." asked /said Great Red. Issei simply nodded at his father question. To which his father just smiled warmly before continuing "let them decided if they wanted to be with you or not.. And when a girl wanted to be with you ... it's your responsibility to take care of her ... make sure she knows that she was someone important to you ... and treat her the way she deserved... Can I expect this form you, my little DragonGod..?" asked Great Red last part in very loving manner.

Issei nodded happily and spoke "haii.. dad ... You can count on me..."

Great Red didn't finish yet and spoke again "Listen as your Jiji said 'Leave it to time'... " Issei simply nodded at his dad words... his dad really knows what and how to tell him to cheer him up.

Ddraig simply looking at the scene with a stunned face. Never ever he thought Great Red as a caring, loving parent ... let alone seeing it with his own eyes. The very being name that strike fear into his enemies, doesn't matter if they are dragon, gods, angels, fallen angels , devil, demigod, or other supernatural species. The name GREAT RED.. the APOCALYPSE DRAGON or the True Red Dragon God Emperor, True Dragon... a TRUE DRAGON... is reduced to a loving parent ... simply made Ddraig speechless... now he have to extra careful around Issei, knowing how over protective his 'dad' is. "How troublesome " muttered Ddraig.

The muttered didn't go unheard by Great Red as he looked back at Ddraig and spoke "Ddraig-chan after Issei get back to real world... we are going to have a 'little' chat about the words... you were using in my son's presence "

Ddraig went completely deathly pale as he thought about the 'chat' with Great Red about his own 'words'. He was hundred percent sure that Great Red already forgot about it but No! He has to open his damned mouth muttered something that only reminded Great Red about previous little incidents... now he is screwed!

UNDERWORLD: Sitri Territory

Rias and Sirzechs were having the dinner at Sitri house. Rias didn't understand why her Onii-sama wanted to return home as soon as possible even if it's mean skipping the dinner at Sitri house, after all Sitri Clan offer the best food in entire underworld and dozens of 'Sitri Restaurants', around the underworld, were the living proof of it.

Sirzechs wanted to return home as he didn't want Rias to embrace 'Gremory Clan' anymore. He didn't know what will happen if any councils elders were present at the moment when she open her mouth and clearly told them about her own view about Hyoudous. She is the clan heiress so anything she'll say is regarded as the entire clan view.

Serafall and Sona were talking to each other completely ignoring them. To them finding a good birthday present for their Issei is more important thing to do. Lady Sitri was looking at both of her daughters with a amused smile, she never saw her thought she will live a day where her both daughters will talk about a boy , more importantly the same boy. She is eager to meet her future son in law and judging by the look of her husband face, she could easily say that her husband is eager to if not more than her. She looked at the dinner table and saw both red head were having the dinner, one with dinner manners and another one with like if she waste another second without eating it... it will despair. A sly smile formed on her face as she spoke "How's the dinner? Sirzechs-San? Rias-chan..?"

Sirzechs looked at her and spoke "As always expect from Sitri cla..." before he could finish his sentence, Rias cut him in middle as she spoke with enthusiasm "It's delicious Lady Sitri... Sitri's food always best."

Lady Sitri giggled at younger gremory enthusiasm and looked at her daughters, more especially her younger daughter, who was still talking with her Onee-sama. And a mischievous smile formed on her face as she looked back at dinner table and spoke "thank you Sirzechs-san.. Rias-chan... that's mean a lot.. considering It is Sona who cooked the food today"

Both Sirzechs and Rias eyes widened at Lady Sitri statement.

Sirzechs dropped his fork at his dinner table. It's like when he was first told about the marriage agreement between Gremory and Phoenix Clan.

Rias stop eating and looked at her best friend who was still talking with Serafall then looked back at her dinner plate and muttered "I-Impossible.."

Lady Sitri heard Rias's muttered loud and clearly but instead of showing anger, she giggled and spoke "It's quite understanding... I also have a hard time to believe when I was told.. but I assure you, it is Sona-chan who cooked the dinner... it's basically she wanted to celebrate .. As today is a special day for her ... well not just for her.. us too"

Sona and Serafall were listening the conversation with great interest. When they both caught Rias's muttering something 'Impossible' that caught both of Sitri Sisters ears. And they started to listen the conversation. And seeing the expression on Rias's face, Sona could easily say she was quite amused but she won't tell after all she is clan heiress.

Rias was having a hard time to believe this. Her best friend can cook, not just cook ... the taste of the food clearly screaming that it was par with the best cook in entire underworld, and her best friend cooked it, just to celebrate her engagement. She (Sona) celebrated her engagement while she (Rias) didn't nothing to celebrate her. And why would she? She didn't want to marry at first place. But still she missed the little but happy moment of marriage ceremony even if it's mean to celebrate the engagement confirmation. And knowing who is going to her husband, she didn't want to do anything with her own marriage.

"B-But last time when I was here .. I didn't notice Sona's taking any cookery classes." asked/demanded Road as she looked at her best friend , who was now looking at her with a smile.

"Because I didn't take one that time..." simply stated Sona.

"But then how..." asked /question Rias as she clearly could say now her best friend is better than her. First the amount of demonic energy she released back then and how clam, controlled, matured and same time cheerful Sona is.

"I asked my mother-in *cough* future mother in law to tought me how to cook Issei's favourite dishes..." said Sona with a smile as she remind herself how her mother in ... future mother in law taught her.

"But why did you learnt how to cook just because of him?" said Rias with a half anger in her voice. Sona just looked at her like she was seeing something she shouldn't. Didn't know how to response she just asked any confused persen do "Excuse me!?"

"You heard me.. there are lots of chiefs are there.. . Surely they can cook so why...?" asked Rias once again, this time her question was clear and to the point.. she didn't know why she have to learn how to cook when they have family chiefs... it's completely absurd, isn't it?

"Because I wanted to... As simple as that " paused Sona as she looked at her friend then spoke again "sure you wanted to do something especially for your fiancé... to show how much he meant to you" finished Sona, getting a wide eyed Rias.

As she couldn't believe what her friend was suggesting... to do something special for her fiancé? No, she didn't want to do anything for her fiancé, if anything then break up the whole marriage contract that was set up before even she born. And here she was realising what she was missing. What it feels like to have a fiancé of her own choise. How her own parents robbed her from taking most important desicion of her own life.

BACK TO ISSEI

Issei was training hand to hand combat with Ddraig in his dad's watching. It always amuse Great Red at how Ddraig have the hard time match up with his little baby.

Ddraig surely catch him if Issei isn't the fast he is. And Ddraig knew when it comes to hand to hand combat Issei is a monster.

He also started to learn how to fight with swords after he got that sword from his godfather as a birthday present. And as a kendo player, he sure has some experience with it.

[Okay.. that's enough for today...] said Great Red as he saw if he allowed to continue their practice, they aren't going to stop anytime sooner.

"Yes dad" said Issei as he stopped his daily practice season with Ddraig-chan.

[Issei... my little DragonGod .. why don't you use your balance breaker form..?] asked Great Red as he saw very little when his son was using balance breaker, much to his surprise.

Issei titled his head at his dad question before replying "You see dad... Balance Breaker just boosts everything three hundred times expect the weakness of the host in base form, not to mention also adding the dragon scale armour also known as scale mail. "

Great Red easily understood what her precious son wanted to tell him and spoke [and since you are a Dragon God, you don't need to use Ddraig-chan dragon scale... And as for boost... you wanted to work on your base form so you could boost your balance breaker form whenever you will use it]

"Correct as always dad... I wanted to master everything from my base level.. And and if possible also wanted to improve my base level" state Issei .

[working on base form and trying to master it so you can improve it ... that's a nice way to put it.. my little DragonGod] said Great Red with a proud smile as he heard his son saying that he wanted to improve his base form.

"Thanks dad" replied Issei happily as his dad approved and appreciated his way to become strong.

[SO do you know how to improve it...? Or you are going to push yourself without any limit] asked Great Red, showing he has great interest in whatever his son was doing to become strong.

"Yes dad.. you see my reflex, speed, strength are almost better tgan ten times from the first day. And I'm trying to use senjutsu with it... more importantly ... trying to mix nature energy with it" said Issei.

[that will do.. using nature energy ... You can simply mix it with your own energy that will save lots of your energy ... all you need is stamina... And just being a Dragon you have infinity amount of stamina] replied Great Red, clearly impressed the way his son thinking is.

"thanks dad" said Issei once again as his dad praised him.

[tell me son, did you ever hear about chi manipulation] asked Great Red, getting a wide eyed Ddraig as he thought it's only a myth. He never encounter someone who can manipulate 'chi'. He maybe heard about it and like everyone, he forgets it , thinking it's just a myth. Now here he was, hearing it from the mouth of dragon of dragon himself about the legendary 'chi' manipulation.

Issei just titled his head as he never heard that manipulation before. So he asked "No father, I didn't "

This time Ddraig didn't want to remain silent so even he asked {Are you meaning to tell me that legendary 'chi' manipulation isn't just a myth and it's exists before..?}

Great Red have a amused smile, seeing Welsh Dragon shocked face.

[Ise, it's called breath of life.. in simple words, it is ability to manipulate the flow of latent energy that is present in the physical body... And Ddraig-chan it's do exists as I can easily manipulate chi] replied Great Red, getting a shocked looked from Welsh Dragon, as he never thought he will encounter someone who can manipulate chi.

Issei was partially bouncing in excitation to learn something new and more importantly directly from his father.

[But first, I think you should master using senjutsu with your base form then we will start with chi manipulation] state Great Red, he can only think what his son will do when he one day could use enmity and chi at the same time.

{Strength of body, when combined with strength of mind and spirit, can move mountains. Alone however, the body shatters against rock like a brittle twig... we are taking about that chi ? Right?} asked Ddraig once again to conformed it. After all it's chi manipulation and little did he heard about it, it only said that that technic exists before the biblical god.

[yes... we are talking about that chi manipulation... And about the chi's effect on the user body, I don't think It will effect Issei after all he is a Dragon God] explained Great Red.

"Sugoi dad" cheered Issei when his dad told them that there will be no side effects of manipulating chi on his body.

"Anyway... aren't you going to teach me swords arts after my birthday dad..?" asked Issei as he clearly remember his dad telling/ instructed him to finish basic swords skill so he could teach him advance swords skill that includes forgotten swords arts and he was quite interested to learn that so he promised his dad he will finish all basic before his next birthday.

[Are you finish your basic skill, son?] asked Great Red, knowing full well that he son will finish entire basic skill before his birthday.

{yes.. He already finished his basic with swords ... And even learning some high level from his grandfather... his grandfather was teaching him Hyoudous swords style...} stated Ddraig.

UNDERWORLD: Sitri Territory

"So let me get straight... You learn how to cook... just because of you wanted to do something for your fiancé" asked Rias, with a look of full disbelief.

"Yes Rias... You caught easily... I'm sure ... You did something for Riser ... isn't it? After all he is your fiancé" said / asked Sona with a innocent smile. Getting a red face Rias, She (sona) has to remind her (Rias) that she is engaged to Riser. How many times she has to forget about him. She will just ask his Onii-sama to cancel the arrangements and he will do, after all he is her Onii-sama. And doing something special for Riser? Sure. If throughing the food at his face... sure she did it.

With Max

Max was having a hard time as he forgot something special and he didn't quite remember what is it . Laying on his back next to his wife, remember what was happened throughout the entire day... ahh his grandson got engaged. Ohh shoot.! he forgot to tell his own wife about their grandson engagement confirmation. He turned his head and looked at his wife, he knew his wife will skin him alive when he gonna tell her... but he have to tell her now or sometime later... And it's better if he already told her about it already otherwise god knows what his wife will do to him. Just thinking about it giving him chill.

"Ne, Luna-chan..?" said Max, hoping to start a conversation with his wife.

"Huh? Just sleep max... " mumbled Luna in half sleep ... half awake.

''You know our grandson got engaged today'' said Max happily dropping the bomb with a smile but inwardly he was sweating, didn't know what his wife will do to him.

''Huh?... Ise... engaged...okay..'' mumbled Luna before her eyes wide awake and turned around and face her husband and asked in very low sweat tone ''Explan. MAX. HYOUDOU'' that promise pain... lots of pain if he failed to answer or something she didn't like to hear. MAX gulped and start explaining the whole story.

With Issei

Issei was talking about Ddraig to way use his own dragonic energy and how to boost it when he suddenly felt a huge concern about his grandfather. Ddraig noticed the change of expression of his host and asked {Are you okay ... partner..?}

Issei looked at Ddraig before sighed and spoke "I think Jiji did something stupid agian"

{Maybe ... did something to pissed your baa-chan} replied Ddraig, only Max knows how much right he is.

"Maybe..." mumbled Issei.

{Anyway.. . Forget it... And listen... ...} Ddraig started to giving new theory lesson to his host ...

With Max

''So it's Sitri Sisters huh..?'' said Luna with a smile, surprising Max that she didn't angry at him.

''Wait.. You aren't angry'' asked Max, to confirm her.

''Angey... yes... I'm... but didn't expect to Sitri to go first... I always thought it will be Kunou who will engaged to Issei first... '' replied Luna.

''Me too.. maybe they will be next.. after all my grandson making a harem for himself'' said Max getting a smack snack on his head... ''itaii''

''Anyway.. my little sister's granddaughter is coming tomorrow... remember..?'' asked Luna as she remember her little sister's granddaughter. She has seen her once when she was six months old. So she was quite sure her little sister's granddaughter won't remember her. And now she will almost same age of Issei.

When Issei came to Kyoto, she didn't think about her grandson will that many friends so when he came to Kyoto, she invited her little sister's granddaughter for the summer, to which her little sister agreed before giving a single thought. And now her grandson made so many friends... She only hope they will get along.

''Yes... what was her name again... Esdh.. something..'' mumbled/ asked Max .

''It's Esdeath, dear'' state Luna and looked at her husband before spoke again

''Sleep... we will discuss about your whole situation tomorrow... '' said Luna before drifted off to sleep.

Max sighed as whole conversation went smoothly before flowing his wife example and drifted off to sleep.
