Chapter 68: Ascension Part 8



MISLA FATE Location the Underworld, Bael Territory: Secret Manor in Belladonna's Lands

Misla, the lovely sister-in-law of Belladonna, was at the moment enjoying some tea. Having just received a call from Belladonna, that made her sigh about the thought. As she told her, that Belladonna have just scolded her son along with her nephew for causing a scene in a restaurant in Lilith. She was happy that Sairaorg was finding a new friend...but she'll admit Sairaorg, he is a bit rowdy at time. She also hopes that Kuisha, could provide some structure to her son...and maybe make her a grandma. Regardless Misla, she owes her sister in all but blood, for saving her life. For some were not accepting of her son, being the heir of the main line of Bael family.

As Belladonna she and her nephew made a fake rumor that Misla has been sick. Many believe that she'd fell to sleep disease and was hid away. That was the rumor made from Belladonna. During a training session, her son was called to a private room, and meet her and his aunt, Belladonna, with a dead devil of the side. Some noble hired a assassin with some poison, Sairaorg immediately checked on his mother, but she'd reassure him, she was fine. As his aunt told him that pure-bloods tried to force his father to remarry and have another heir to replace him. So they tried to infect his mother with the uncurable sleeping disease. To keep her safe, she was moved into aunt Belladonna's territory. She'd learned later it was Laharl, who somehow knew that would happen. That boy possess a great future, and actually helped her son from the sidelines. Belladonna, told her that Laharl hold no desire to become a main branch heir or any other desire for power. He was content with going on his own path. As one of those blue penguin creatures came into the room, with a tray of sweets. She was surprised by the prinnies but after seeing their usefulness, she'd requested a couple for her personal service. Misla, thanked the prinny as it delivered her snack. Soon she'll probably get a visit by Sairaorg or Belladonna, about the whole debacle in Lilith. Or maybe her husband will call her, since he too know of her predicament, honestly...she'd never seen her husband soo mad and angry about her being. Made her blush, while she'd wished he was a bit more affectionate with Sairaorg, she also understood his position as a head of a House. At least she was still here to see her son grow, and eventually she'll be able to see him publicly as well...

JOY BEFORE TRAINING Location Belladonna's Mansion

A couple days passed since, Laharl mom, scolded and punished him and Sairaorg for being a bit too rowdy. After paying for the damages and the meal, he and his cousin left in a good mood. They bonded quite quickly, not to his surprise. After Issei beat and broke Sairaorg's winning streak, he gained Sairaorg's respect and deep friendship. Sairaorg is a bro through and through, that along with his grind is one of the many reasons, he is one of his favorite characters in DXD. Regardless of that, Sairaorg will be the toughest opponent that he and his girls are gonna face. He'd told his girls and mom that in a couple days, they'll be going to the Catacomb Dungeon. To get stronger and be better prepared for their match with Sairaorg in a month. Before that his mom suggested they'd relax a bit and not get overly stressed by the match. They'd agreed and did as Belladonna said. Setsuna spended time Lady Belladonna, bonding deeper through music. Playing violin and piano together, and she felt like her mother Rin, which Setsuna loves conversing with her and learning more music from her.

Kyoko divided her time with beloved Laharl-sama, and Belladonna-sama. Enjoying some peace with her love, and even learning few new enchantments to sow onto her crafting. Ruby played a couple game with Cerberus or Koneko, or making out with her babe. Albedo along with Kneesocks decided to help Belladonna with her paperwork, to much to Belladonna's gratitude. But the two of them took breaks to enjoy some reading or spending time with their love, a sentiment that they'd all shared, especially with Rias not bothering them much. Cerberus would run and play around the mansion, even taking time to hang out with Belladonna, as the Triplets enjoy her headpats and being around...but not as much as their mate and king. Mizore would spend her time with Laharl, and she was the main reason that Rias hasn't interrupt their intimate moments with their man. She would use her stalking skills, to spy on Rias and freeze her when Rias felt like nosing in on their moments with Laharl. Daki was enjoying helping the nekomata little girls with make-up, and beauty advice. Also taking time to make-out with her man, and even managed to have a private one on one fun without Rias interrupting her. Raven would be joined by Albedo and Kneesocks in reading, or she'd take a book and rest beside her dear boyfriend.

Lastly there's Nero. She'd would spend her time to paint various maids, and nekomata. Even finally managing to convince Miss Marron to model for her, and once done with the portrait, she gifted it to Marron. Marron the head maid, and super professional woman, has seems very happy, and some maids even mentioned that a portrait of herself has been framed on her room. Aside from that Nero managed to not only spend a lot of time with Laharl, and like Daki. She'd sleep with Laharl one on one, much to her joy and excitement. Meanwhile Laharl, he would spend time with his girls. Or he'd enjoy some music from Linking Park to Papa Roach. Plus with Rias not interrupting his time with his girls, he'd actually deepen his bond with Setsuna, as well as Akeno and Koneko. Akeno started to chill down her extreme nature, and she was a sweet girl. While Koneko started to cling to him, playing games with her, and even helping her better use touki, by advising her on using some attacks from animes and games. Ranging from Baki, Kengan Ashura, and Virtual Fighter, if Koneko better studied martial arts she'd would have been a absolute beast in DXD. But comparing this Koneko to her anime counterpart is unfair, the girl he was currently playing street fighter with was more attuned with herself and greatly recovered from her traumas. He'd felt sorry for Kuroka once they'd meet again, this little white haired kitten is gonna kick that bootlick Itachi's ass across the floor. From what Cerberus mentioned, Koneko, she was already a master at kickboxing, so that why he's been suggesting to her to take other martial arts to add to her overall arsenal.

But at the end Rias, she finally managed to spend time with Laharl. Expressing some concerns about him, facing off against their cousin, Sairaorg. Telling him to be careful...while sweet, it wasn't taken as a care for the girls. Mizore, she had a annoyed and cold aura, as she was eager to freeze Rias. As she desperately tried to secure a date with Laharl-kun's, but he'd straight out refuse stating that soon they'll be busy with training. This made her annoyed and start complaining, which resulted in her being frozen in a block of ice. They all looked at Mizore, who seems that she'd reached her limits of Rias. He laughed along with the rest of the girls. Laharl, he kissed Mizore making her very happy, as they left Rias frozen. As Akeno and Koneko looked at their frozen friend and king, shaking their head since started thinking that Rias was...well dumb. Always pissing off Laharl-kun's girlfriends, instead of trying to bond with them. Honestly they'd have made more progress with Laharl-kun than her, already their tired of helping Rias, soo...they left her, as she'll destroy the ice on her.

TRAINING & PLANNING Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: Bael Residence, Krichevskoy Mansion; Kitchen and Dinning Room

It been a couple of days, since Laharl and the girls have returned to Kuoh. Spending the next couple of days, dungeon diving the Catacomb Dungeon. When they arrived they've spend only on the first and second area of the Catacomb Dungeon, in order to level up Setsuna stats. Proven a great decision all her stats aside from life have leveled-up, she felt soo much stronger, she'd wondered if her father would be proud of her. This triggered Setsuna asking to Laharl, if one day would she'd be able to see her family again, provoking some of the girls. Daki missing her brother, Albedo her sisters, Mizore her parents, Raven her mother, and Laharl promised them if he'll find a way for them to see their love ones again, as he'll need to meet them for certain blessing. As he said that he'd blushed a bit, which made all the girls, including Setsuna blush, with joy...and Setsuna a bit more flustered since she's still in the getting to know your partner stage... Then he said that if he'd couldn't do it, he'd might find a loophole, by summoning someone that can grant wishes, or possess a item that is able to do so. And bring their family members into this world instead. This made the girls more happy, at the length their love is going for, for them. Now they were together in their mansion, in the dinning room, enjoying some meatloaf, sweet potatoes, stuffing, and some pie for later. Obviously showing it was Laharl who cooked for them, as they enjoyed the meal, Setsuna, she found the foreign meal extremely delicious. Making Laharl chuckled, as it seems that another foodie was among them, she and Ruby would probably go on a food runs a lot in the future.

Setsuna requested seconds, which Kyoko happily served her. That's when they heard the doorbell. Laharl, he stopped any of the girls from getting up. As he went to answer the door. After opening the door, he saw Sona, in her casual clothes. She was excited to see him, as she was the one that was stuck with watching over Kuoh, when Rias, she ditched her to stay over...uninvited...at Laharl-kun's home. At least Kiba stayed behind, proving some help in watching over their territory. Laharl, he was happy to see her, and welcomed her to his home. She'd joined them for dinner, and she'd meet Setsuna, Laharl's newest pawn. They were respectful and cordial with one another, as they started talking about things that happened in Kuoh. Aside from eliminating some strays, Kiba, he has taken the role of keeping gangs in line for him. Once again, he owes that guy a beer, also she'd told him that during the near month that he's been away Ruruko, Murayama and Katase have gotten well adjusted as devils. Following his suggestions to make those three stronger, Ruruko has taken up Tae Kwon Do, and Sona even got her some special leg gear to enhance her kicking power. Katase was really skilled in Kendo, but with her, and Tomoe all being sword users, like Laharl said she'd had Katase practice dual wielding to have variety and grant some flexibility to Katase's fighting style. Lastly Murayama, she's taken to use a longer blade, a odachi as her primary weapon and proven quite capable with it. Also...but not to his surprise...Murayama, finally starting to grasp devil culture and embrace it, she'd confessed and is also dating Kiba!! Laharl and the girls smile, as their proud that, that guy was finally being more assertive. And he even said out loud, "Now I owe Kiba two beers." making everyone laugh.

They spend some time together with Sona. As he told her that they'll be focusing on training on a special training ground, for they have a match coming up with Sairaorg. That news surprised Sona, as she supported him and the girls. She'll be rooting and watching over them in their fight. Already she's made a good impression in Setsuna, and the girls like Sona more, and more, a lot more then Rias that for sure. With that Sona visit came to a end...but not before giving a kiss to he'd boyfriend, making her happy, as she'd left Laharl-kun's mansion. Meanwhile Setsuna, she blushed at the kiss and was feeling a bit...envious. At the end they've decide that tomorrow they'll finally go to the third area of the Catacomb Dungeon, and continue to grow stronger for the big fight to come.
