DXD OVERLORD

BONDING Location the Underworld, Bael Territory: Belladonna's Mansion, Belladonna's Study

It has been a couple of days since, Laharl has returned from beating the Field Dungeon Boss, and giving the Night Hound body to his mom to sell. Laharl decided to take it easy, and spend some time home. Currently he was with his mom, drinking tea and eating snacks in her private study. A study that is styled in a multiple tone red, with black accents, a huge wooden book case filled with books on the side of the room, and a huge elegant workdesk filled with trinkets and pappers. He and his mom were sitting around a black and gold table, bonding with which each other as mother and son. Belladonna she talked about many things with him, and then she even started telling about his father. His father was Krichevskoy, which shocked him but he didn't showed it, as he was generally curious how this Krichevskoy was different from the Makai one.

His mom mentioned how much she'd loves his father, having meet during the Civil War. He was noble, powerful, and quite charming, as they fought together during the Civil War, were Krichevskoy showed his power, crushing all that stood before him. He was especially ruthless to those that merely graced her dress...she then mention earthquakes, crushed mountains, and more, and all he could remember was the actions Krichevskoy did with OG-Laharl's mom...no matter the world, Krichevskoy was the same. Laharl, he mentally sighed, as his mom continued, during a grand battle, which they were both participating in, while surrounded by the defeated enemy, he got down on his knee and proposed. He saw his mom blushing and getting flustered...he could see that there is still love between his mom, and his late...dad.

Belladonna, she decided to end that story there for now, at it seems it was affecting her a bit. Laharl respected his mom's wishes, and didn't push further. At least some of his questions have been partially answered, while he did wished to be a customized Laharl, he didn't asked to be apart of either the Bael or Gremory families in his wish. As he drank his tea, he thinks that something must have changed fate to make him apart of those Clans, and somehow made Krichevskoy apart of this world. Not that he cares much, at least his mom and dad did fell in love and were together for all time, as the conversation shifted to other things between them.

Location the Training Field After enjoying some time with his mom, dealing with some more lessons with head maid Marron, things have gone good for thus year. Laharl was two-years old, but physically he looked like his five, and a lot stronger than any devil in his generation. Not only was he able to do thing that no toddler could do at his age, he already was using magic like a veteran. His mom decided that it was time he had more in depth training, since he proved more than capable of both fighting and using magic.

Hence she build a special training ground for her son, and hired some tutors to improve Laharl's skills. In the outside of the west wing of the masion, a large field was build. It was similar to a Pokémon battle field with sand compact to a huge rectangle battlefield. With wood made weapon racks, and training equipment in the entrance to the Training Field, it was soo impressive that her son only whistled in admiration at the sight.

As for the tutors, they came from different reaches of the Underworld. Sword experts, and devil wizards from good reputation and pedigree. Laharl, he was very grateful. Apart from possing all of OG-Laharl skills, abilities, and powers, he didn't have any actual fighting style, mainly overpowering his opponent with physical superiority and destructive, powerful techniques and spells, apart from that Laharl or the OG had any actual fighting style to rely on. So he welcomed some actual swordsmanship lessons, and magical classes to enhance his already powerful arsenal.

For the next couple of months, Laharl's schedule has been divided in hunting still on the first level of the Field Dungeon, even if the exp-drops weren't as affective as before, seems he'll soon have to delve into the second level to get stronger, aside from that his lessons...regretfully became harder, since he'd aced his last assignments... Laharl also spend his time training in swordplay, getting some skill in fighting with an actual capable opponent, instead of a mindless beast. Then on his fourth month of the year, his mom, aunt, and Lady Sitri, surprised him with new "classmates". Rias and Sona have proven to be very smart for their age...which made Laharl, sweatdrop, since they're the same age as him, and he is way smarter than both of them at that point. Basically making him their tutor, since the lesson have been lower to accommodate the two heiresses.

Rias always the hyper, excitable, and curious girl, especially when it came to humanworld history, which honestly Laharl didn't care for. He was reincarnated to be a devil, and forge his own new life, so he'll avoid being involved with the crap of the Earth, meanwhile Sona prove her intellect and abilities, becoming the second smartest of their "class".

When they were freed from lessons, those girls would force Laharl to play with them, and being the good older cousin he was he did as they wanted. Forced to play tag, pretend which involved him being the heroic knight, saving them the princesses, and when Rias got into reading fairy tales, him being the better reader, he'd read and used his magic sometimes to enact the scenes to much of the girls amazement.

All the while, their moms and Magic Levi, would watch and gush over them. Laharl, didn't care, as much as he dislike the young woman that Rias will become, baby Rias and Sona remind him little sisters so he wasn't totally annoyed to give them attention. This continued for throughout the year.

That's when in the approaching birthday of Laharl, Belladonna, along with her sister Venelana and their friend Sitri, decided to celebrate a joint birthday for all their children. They wanted to include Misla and her boy, Sairaorg, but they had plans, a shame. But regardless a great third birthday await for their kids. As they plan and prepare for it.

THIRD BIRTHDAY Location the Gremory Territory: Gremory's Mansion, the Grand Hall

Laharl was now officially three, and to his surprise, his mom, aunt, and their friend planed a three-way birthday party for him, Rias, and Sona. Well at least he didn't have to dress up, for three separate events. Plus the food was always good in this bushy festivities. As the festivities went on throughout the night, his favorite Satan, Serafall, came so happy and cheerful, calling out to Sona who was happy to see her big sister...hard to believe she becomes a stuck up, know-it-all, that doesn't appreciate her sister, in the future, as Laharl mentally said, "Worry not Levi. I'll make sure you'll never be alone." Apart from that the party went peacefully, as he was forced to dance with Rias and Sona by his mom, and since didn't want to dance twice, he used his scarf like extra-arms to dance with both girls at the sametime. When the cake finally came, Rias and Sona went crazy, and dove into the giant eight-foot cake...all Laharl thought is that the servents are going to have a field day, cleaning calamity wrought by two sugar-high devil girls.

At the end Sirzechs and Grayfia managed to come, as he overheard that Grayfia had Sirzechs under the whip. In order for him to finish his paperwork, and join the party for his Ria. Laharl, shuke his head, and went to finally have a moment with the legendary Levi-tan. The pigtailed, shortstack, she wasn't yet the magic girl that all love, it funny that it was Sona child love for magic girls that triggered the rise of Levi-Chan and more. He approached her, as she enjoying a glass of red wine, when she saw Laharl approach, she lit up, and with a big smile pounced on the three-year old. Saying, "Harl-Tan. Happy Birthday!!!" Laharl only thought while being glumped, and smothered by huge breasts, "Harl-tan?" seems that he was officially crissen by a Serafall nickname. They talked and Laharl even hinted that Sona has taken a liking to magic, and spectacles of magic, saying this with devilish smirk on his face. As Serafall wasn't herself without being Levi-Chan, soo...he might make her appear earlier than intended.

Serafall, she had stars practically shining from her eyes. As she thought of ways to make her So-tan smile, she was soo grateful for Laharl, she promised to get him any gift that he wanted. Laharl politely declined, and they continued to talk.

Then as Serafall started to vent a bit of her job, Laharl listened and even gave some suggestions of getting a secretary squad or something to handle the less important matters. This also got Serafall thinking, when someone called Laharl. It was Lady Belladonna, as she wanted to present her son with his gift. Laharl excused himself, and went over to where his mom and the other were.

While he got closer, he noticed that Rias was playing with a doll, that looked new. Meanwhile Sona was given a chessboard and set...seems that her chess obsession started at a young age. Now he understood it was time for the birthday kids, to get their presents. His mom, Belladonna, in her red and gold accented dress was smiling as she clapped her hands, which confused Laharl a bit. But then a couple of butlers came with something wrapped in a red cloth, Laharl rised his eyebrow in curiosity. He could see it was very large object, as the servents place the covered-up thing onto the red carpet floor. His mom spoke to him, getting his full attention. She said, "Sweetie. Do you remember you've asked for this two years ago?" immediately Laharl knew what was under the red cloth.

Belladonna, nodded her head to the servents. One of the butlers, grabbed the red cloth, and pulled it revealing a massive Japanese style sword, resting on a pair of black racks. A zanbato, that resembled Zangetsu's sealed state from Bleach. When his mom managed to contact a skilled smith, she asked him what kind of blade he wanted. He described a katana but with a greater length and width, taking pure inspiration from Ichigo original Zangetsu, as he saw that blade as the perfect sword to match his method of fighting.

Laharl walked over to his new sword, and reached over to the sword's long, red hishigami wrapped handle. With a strong grip on the handle, he lifted it up from the racks, and he inspect it closely. Everyone was surprised that Laharl could lift such a massive sword with only one hand, then he started to swing it around with ease and skill. Ending his test swings with a rising cross swing, with a satisfied smile, he rested his Zanbato onto his right shoulder. Turning to his mom, he thanked her complete sincerity and gratitude. His words made Belladonna smile, especially since Laharl loved his present.

She still couldn't understand that apart from the given description of that sword for his request, her son also wanted the blade to as strong, durable, and sharp as possible. So the smith, actually used some draconian materials to make that blade, making truly one of kind. And maybe possess some qualities and properties that no one could imagine. Then her after he store away his sword, into his scarf, her son hugged her. Making her, very happy, as Laharl rarely showed physical affection, preferring vocal affection over all. So she cherish this moment, and hugged him in return.

With that his third birthday proved to be quite fun. He now also has a worthy sword, which he could hardly wait to test it out. But he wanted to be more proficient in using it, so for now he'll keep his swordsmanship training, and later test it in the Field Dungeon Level 2. Since his third birthday, he realized he has neglected his mom, since he was more mature in mind, spirit, and body, Laharl, he wasn't like other kids that were always on their parents. So he started to express more affection towards his mom, since. Apart from that this third year in his new life, has been quite good.
