One year later...Laharl, Mizore, Ruby, Cerberus, and Kyoko have turned fifteen. While Kneesocks is sixteen and Albedo is eighteen. They being the oldest of the three new devil overseers of the town Kuoh, they were first to move and wait for Rias' and then Sona' respected peerage to move as well. As the young devils had their briefcases and bags of their last personal items they have to pack and take with them. They made their way to the main entrance to use a teleportation circle to Kuoh. There was a huge gathering of a various maids, butlers, nekomata, standing beside Marron and Belladonna, as they wanted to give them one last farewell for them, as it was moving day.
This caused all the girls got emotional. Kyoko, Cerberus, and even Ruby got close to crying. While Kneesocks, Albedo and Mizore were fighting for getting extremely emotional. And Laharl he smiled sadly, he walked over to his mom and hugged her tightly and affectionately. As the girls all rush in and gave Belladonna a group love, repeating their promise that they'll visit every Sunday and they want her to come stay with them, whenever she could. This cause all the girls and his mom cry. This scene played in front of them all, made all the servents and even Marron get teary, as it was time for the young lord and ladies to move...
Breaking the group hug, and the nekomata kids cried as they too said goodbye to their "big brother and sisters" What the youkai kids, have come to call him and the girls, saying they'll see them again, and be good kittens for their parents. Nodding to their words, Laharl turned to his girls, and asked softly, "Ready?" they nodded. And they walked over to the teleportation circle, as Belladonna was the one to activate it for them, with a tearful smile, she'd waved and said, "I'll miss you sweetie. See you'll soon." they nodded and waved back to her, as the circle flash in a bright magical light, and they were teleportated away...
Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: New Bael Residence, Krichevskoy Mansion Laharl and the girl appeared in the front outside of the Krichevskoy Mansion. Naming the western five floored mansion, which Laharl named after his dad. The outside is mostly a modern style painted in white with mauve accents to the walls, corners, and other parts of the mansion. A walkway made out of fine five elongated steps, that led to a modern style blurry, reinforced glass and white metal framed door. Laharl lifted his bag over his shoulder and said, "Well, we might not like the situation...but let's try to make this place our new home. " the girls nodded, smiling at their man. As Albedo wrapped her arm with him, and they made their way inside their new house.
The inside is mostly black furniture, and some random modern artwork, hanging from the white walls. Wooden sleeving on mounted on the walls, with some plants and vases to decorate the rooms, as they entered the main open entrance. They made their way further into the main hallways, and seeing the huge modern kitchen, already filled with various appliances. Laharl, turned to the girls to tell them that they have a theater room in this floor, along with the kitchen and two basic bathrooms. On the second floor their rooms, and he also commented that he took the master bedroom and had a huge bed already place in it, making the girls happy, while they enjoy having their own space, they basically sleep and spend night together anyway, so it was a given that they'd share a bed.
Laharl explained that on the third floor a dance and music hall was installed, should they ever feel like dancing together or listen music. Again this made the girl happy, and blush slightly as Laharl always the romantic, and they've grown to really love dancing. He also mentioned that their special training gym, a sowing area and a private library, already filled with all the books, manga, and comics that they'd collected over the years. This made Ruby and Cerberus excited to read those comics and mangas, while Albedo, Mizore, and Kneesocks were excited about the books. Kyoko too felt the same about the library, but she was soo touched and happy that Laharl-sama, build a room especially for her. She thanked him, and swore to make the best sown gifts for him, and the girls as a expression of gratitude.
This made everyone smile at Kyoko's adorable generosity. As Laharl continued, saying that in the third floor is also a balcony, that looks out the back of the mansion. Then he moved up to the fourth floor. As he designed that floor for emergencies, such as unexpected guests, and more but in truth their is also Albedo office, and a second master bedroom for his mom, when she's stays over. Despite his mom declining he and the girls still build a room for her. Lastly the fifth floor it just to access the roof, with a second pool, a rooftop garden and a few other things. Before they can proceed to check out the mansion, and pick up their personal rooms, Laharl, he led them to the end of the hall. Were a metal sleek door was on the wall, with a pair of buttons on a side panel, this is a elevator. When they don't feel like walking up two floor, they can use this elevator to go into any floor quicker. As he pressed the button to call down the elevator, as it let out a ding, and the elevator door slid open, Laharl presented the way for the girls, in a gentlemanly manner. Making the smile and they walk into the elevator, and he was last to enter, closing the elevator door and their first day, moving into a new house began.
UNEXPECTED NEIGHBORS Location the Krichevskoy Mansion, the Kitchen & Dinning Room
A couple months passed, since Laharl and the girls have moved into the Humanworld. They were enjoying cooking and eating a big Japanese breakfast, in Krichevskoy mansion' kitchen. The one cooking is Kyoko, as it was her turn. They decided as a family they split up the chores in rotations, one said chore is cooking...with exception of Ruby and Cerberus, since they can't cook to save their lives...as Kyoko, she made a lot of rice, miso soup, grilled fish both salmon and mackerel, along with a large amounts of sides. Such as tsukemono, seasoned nori, vegetables, and tamagoyaki. Kneesocks took in setting up the table, as the entire peerage was eating, happily as Kyoko cooking is top-notch.
Following her in cooking level is Albedo who focus on Italian, following close behind is Laharl who specializes in American food surprising them. Mizore cooks Japanese, but even she'll admit that she wasn't at the level of Kyoko-chan. Kneesocks can only cook basic things, but it was still good. As they ate, Kyoko finished the last parts of the breakfast and sat down to join them. Eating with gusto, especially Ruby and Cerberus, as they smile with absolute joy, and asking for seconds. While, Albedo, Mizore, Laharl and Kneesocks ate in a more reserved manner, with grace but still complimented Kyoko, makings the ninja girl eye-smile and blush lightly in happiness, as she lower her mask and joined in on the eating. When suddenly...someone used the doorbell.
Laharl, he decided to check whoever is at the door, and who managed to find their home in the outskirts of Kuoh. Letting the girls enjoy their breakfast. He stood in front of the reinforced glass door, reaching to the chrome, rounded doorknob and he turned the knob. Opening and right at the entrance was...Rias!! Rias in her iconic red spiky, long hair, wearing some casual clothes, a black long-sleeved unzip jacket with a white undershirt that has a hoodie, short-shorts jeans, and a pair of long black boots. She was smiling, with her arms at the lower part of back, with her fingers interlocked. Leaning forward slightly, to tease him with large pair of breasts. Rias greeted Laharl in a, "Good morning, neighbor!!" Laharl thought, "neighbors!?" then more came to his door. First was Akeno in a casual style, her long hair down and loose, a heart pendant around her neck, and wearing a long short-sleeve dress with the sleeves white, and the rest of the dress being red. The came Koneko and Kiba, as the nekoshou-devil dressed in a white short-sleeve shirt with a sleevless beige jacket, and short jeans along with a pair of red shoes, she bowed respectfully and greeted him as a senpai...
Lastly the future Prince of Kuoh, was also in a casual style. Similar to his future academy uniform only more fashionable. A white short-sleeve jacket with black shirt underneath, slightly exposes from his sleeves and collar. Black pants and shoes, he smiled and waved at Laharl. As Rias mentioned that they came to visit their neighbors, Laharl poke out his head from inside his mansion and looked around the massvie grass yard, with woods around the property, then he turn to Rias and asked, "Where? My home is around four acres of land. Where do you guys live in?" she along with Akeno chuckled, as they told him they are at the west limit of his land. Her brother bought her, her own two-acres besides his land, he lowered his head and curse the idiot Sirzechs, as Akeno said, "My, my. Laharl-kun aren't you going to invite us in?" He sighed, as he moved to the side and presented his arm, and said, "Come on in..." they started crossing into his mansion, as Laharl closed the door after Kiba entered.
KIBA's CHALLENGE Location the Krichevskoy Mansion, Training Room
After Rias and her group came over to his mansion. He lead them to the dinning room, as the girls were surprised at the guests. Kiba and Koneko were also surprised since Albedo has her horns and wings out, the Triplets have their ears and tails out, and Kneesocks was in her real form, her red skin and long forehead horn. Laharl could tell, by looking at the reincarnated devils, confusion from seeing some of his girls form. He sighed and said, "Why are you two surprised. Aren't you've been seeing our Rating Games? Non of my girls were humans." making the two a bit embarrassed, because they forgot about that, since Rias showed them Laharl's matches over and over. Then they noticed a purplish-blue spiky haired girl, that was peaking out the side of Laharl, staring at them. This freak them out, making Laharl and the girls chuckle a bit, as Laharl asked the new girl to come out from behind him, so he can introduce her, she let out a low "yes" and stand right beside him.
Rias and her group saw the beautiful girl with a lollipop in her mouth, as they heard Laharl introduced her, "This is Shirayuki Mizore. My pawn and latest girlfriend." This made Mizore, very happy and she grabbed his arm with her own, showing affection. Meanwhile Rias and Akeno who have their eyes closed, started twitch their respected right eyebrow. They greeted Mizore and the other girls, as Rias smell the amazing food, and Kyoko always the polite and well mannered ninja girl, that she is, offered them breakfast. As Laharl and Mizore sat back down on their chairs and joined in the breakfast. After they ate for around twenty minutes, they were all satisfied and started some conversations between them all. Until Rias excitedly asked for a tour around Laharl's home, the girls are a bit annoyed by Rias' forcible bossiness, especially towards their man, but Laharl, he felt their bad mood and he stretched out his scarf to comfort all eight of them.
Laharl, seeing and knowing that Rias wouldn't leave until she got what she wants. He shrugged and chuckled, as he responded with a simple, "sure" they got up the huge, black smooth dinning table. For the next couple of minutes, Laharl and the girls entertained the girls. Showing the Rias' group around, but once they showed them the fully equipped with all manners of training gear, a obstacles course, and more like a fighting cage, as the training room was drastically expanded through magic and enchantments, and the equipment was also enchanted by Kneesocks who became quite proficient in enchanting. When Kiba saw a sword rack, he walked over to it. Grabbing a double-edged European longsword, and taking a couple of practice swings, as he looked at Laharl that was standing by his King, along with Albedo-san, and Mizore-san. As he smiled at Laharl, and made Laharl's girls uncomfortable, since they still think he was a bit...sus. Pointing his training sword at Laharl, he requested from him to a sparing match, saying, "Ever since I've saw your matches. And those incredible sword skills, I wanted to challenge you. Will you accept my challenge, Laharl-san?" the girls were shocked that Rias' pretty boy knight, had the stone to challenge their man...as all eyes were now on Laharl, awaiting for his answer.
