Location: Kamiya Family House-
“Everyone, we have three days left before we set off. During these three days, you don’t need to continue training. Take the time to rest and adjust your condition, and also say goodbye to your friends or loved ones,” Tenraku said, gathering all the girls in the hall and clapping his hands.
After a month of intense training, the girls’ skills had improved significantly. However, they were about to face the most terrifying enemy in history, and yet Tenraku dared not say how much chance they had.
However, everyone had already mentally prepared themselves, even making plans for the worst-case scenario.
Without saying much more, the girls returned to their rooms to pack their belongings.
Rossweisse was planning to return to Northern Europe to visit her parents and grandmother, Irina was preparing to go to England to see her parents and even Asia was planning to return to Europe, her birthplace, to visit the nuns and priests who had cared for and raised her.
Except for a few, almost all the girls had someone they wanted to see or visit.
“Tenraku, are you and Ravel also planning to return to the underworld?” Rias asked when she saw that Tenraku and Ravel seemed to be preparing to leave.
“Yes, we also plan to visit the Phenex family,” Tenraku replied.
“Rias, we’ll leave the house to you,” He added, nodding.
If it had been before, Rias would definitely have returned to the underworld. But now, the Gremory family was no longer her home. Her only real home was here.
A hint of sadness flickered in her eyes, but Rias quickly regained her composure.
“The sooner we leave, the sooner we’ll be back. You can entrust the house to us,” she said softly, gently adjusting Tenraku’s clothes like a caring wife.
Knowing the girls’ feelings, Tenraku could not comfort them, so he could only let time slowly heal their wounds.
Stepping forward, Tenraku kissed Rias and then activated the Space Leap ability, disappearing with Ravel in an instant.
This time, Tenraku only brought Ravel with him when he returned to the Phenex family. Even Yubelluna and the group of girls were allowed to move freely to visit their friends or relatives.
As Tenraku’s strength continued to grow and his Sacred Gears continued to evolve, the Space Leap ability became even more powerful. Just as they had left the Kamiya family, Tenraku and Ravel had returned to the Phenex family’s main residence in the Underworld in the blink of an eye.
“Your Highness, Princess, Lord Tenraku!” a passing maid exclaimed as she noticed the two of them, her expression filled with astonishment.
“Sorry, Princess, Lord Tenraku, I didn’t know you were coming back. I’ll inform everyone to come and welcome you immediately,” She said hurriedly, approaching Tenraku and Ravel and bowing.
“No need. Just take us to Otou-Sama and Okaa-Sama,” Tenraku said with a smile, seeing the nervousness of the maid.
“Y-yes, Duke-Sama, and Madam are in the hall. Princess and Lord Tenraku, please follow me,” She replied quickly, leading Tenraku and Ravel into the Phenex family’s hall.
“Duke-Sama, Madam, Princess and Lord Tenraku have returned,” She announced.
“Ravel, Tenraku? Let them in,” the Duke said.
“Yes,” The maid replied and opened the door, and Tenraku and Ravel entered.
But besides the Phenex Duke and Duchess, there was another person in the hall.
“Brother?” Ravel exclaimed in surprise, while even Tenraku was a bit taken aback.
For the other person was none other than Riser!
“Ravel…”
“Hmph!”
Seeing Ravel, Riser’s expression showed happiness, but when he saw Tenraku, his face darkened and he snorted contemptuously.
Tenraku couldn’t help but chuckle. Indeed, Riser was still the same, still had the same taste.
“Older brother, when did you return?” It had been a long time since Ravel had seen her older brother Riser, and she was very happy to see him again, so she hurried over to ask.
“Just got back a few days ago,” Riser replied.
“Ravel, are you really going to choose that guy?” Riser’s tone became serious as he warned her. “He not only has engagements with Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri but with many other women as well. Not long ago, there were even rumors about him and Roygun, the Lord of House Belphegor. Don’t let him deceive you!”
“Older brother, I…” Ravel’s face turned red as she realized what her brother was implying, and Tenraku beside her couldn’t help but darken his expression.
That scoundrel Riser, bringing up these matters in front of their parents. Especially by mentioning Roygun’s affair, was he deliberately trying to get Tenraku punished by their father?
And although Riser spoke as if he were a righteous man, like an ultimate villain, who knows how much envy and jealousy he harbored in his heart!
“Riser, whether I deceived Ravel or not is none of your business,” Tenraku replied.
“Older brother, I… I like Onii-chan and I know all about Onii-chan’s affairs. But I get along well with Rias and the others,” Ravel said, blushing as she stood in front of Tenraku.
With a few twitches at the corners of his mouth, Riser suddenly felt as if he had been dealt a ton of damage.
Was Ravel really that brainwashed and damaged?
That bastard Kamiya Tenraku!
“Fine, forget it. I don’t want to interfere in your affairs,” Riser said. “But if I find out in the future that Ravel has been wronged, I won’t let you off the hook!”
Helpless, Riser could only glare at Tenraku before speaking.
Tenraku couldn’t help but be speechless. This guy Riser had gone out for a while to gain experience, and he seemed to have grown up a bit, but he was still as merciless as before.
Without further argument with Riser, Tenraku, and Ravel approached the Phenex Duke and Duchess:
“Okaa-Sama!”
“Otou-Sama, Okaa-Sama.” Ravel hugged her mother and Tenraku spoke.
“Tenraku Chan, Ravel, welcome back,” The Phenex Duchess greeted.
“Why did you come back all of a sudden? And you didn’t even bring your peerage with you,” The Phenex Duke frowned, seeming a bit displeased that Yubelluna and the other girls hadn’t followed Tenraku right away.
“Nothing special, I just wanted to come back and take a look,” Tenraku replied. “As for Yubelluna, I gave them some tasks to do, so they didn’t come back with us this time.”
Of course, Tenraku didn’t want to mention their upcoming battle with the God of the Holy Bible. He scratched his nose, feeling a little guilty.
Although Tenraku hadn’t spent much time with the Phenex family since he was young, like father and son, the Phenex Duke looked deeply at Tenraku but didn’t ask any further questions.
“Now that you’re back, stay a few more days,” The Duke suggested.
“Yes,” Tenraku agreed, relieved to see that the Duke’s expression remained unchanged.
Just when Tenraku thought everything had gone smoothly, the Phenex Duke suddenly spoke again:
“Is what I heard about you and Roygun true?”
Tenraku’s face stiffened and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It seemed he couldn’t deceive them after all.
“Tenraku Chan, your affair with Roygun, the Lord of the Roygun family, is already well known in the underworld,” The Phenex Duchess chuckled. “Our Tenraku Chan, able to conquer even the Lord of the Roygun Family.”
Ravel looked worriedly at Tenraku, while Riser looked gleefully at her side.
It was one thing for ordinary women, but this guy dared to seduce even the Lord of the Roygun family. He really wanted to see Tenraku punished by her father!
“Yes, it’s true, Okaa-Sama. Please don’t tease me,” Tenraku reluctantly admitted, knowing that it was useless to deny it.
Already prepared for a beating, Tenraku was surprised when the Phenex Duke remained silent for a long time.
“Why should I be angry? Conquering Roygun is your own ability,” The Phenex Duke said. “But since you have a relationship with her, you must take responsibility like a man.”
The Phenex Duke’s words left Riser stunned, while Tenraku breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn’t expect Otou-Sama to be so open-minded!
With a smile on his face, Tenraku gave his assurance:
“I will, Otou-Sama!”
