RIAS STUBBORNNESS Location the Underworld, Sitri Territory: Sitri's Mansion, the Dinning Room

Things were tensed since Rias, she asked Laharl to explain what he meant by "girlfriends". As she waited for him to start, talking, all the adults were nervous on not only what Laharl would say, but how Rias would react after. After Laharl-kun finished his piece of steak, he began to talk. He began by Kyoko, they practically grew up together, and he'd come to love her grace, her elegance, her passions, and more, as he described her, poor Kyoko was blushing a storm, as he switched to Ruby. They started rough but things became better. As Laharl respected her strength and confidence, she like Kyoko just captured his heart. At first they were rivals, the grew from there. Eventually leading to them having the most intense fight, as they risked it all. As he paused to drink some water, all the adults turned to Belladonna for some sorts of confirmation, which she did give in the form of a nod.

They were surprised as Laharl described his and Ruby's deal, as the most incredible and romantic thing ever. As Ruby was smugged, happy, and blushing on how her man was describing their epic fight and...courting one might say. Then as Laharl started to blush, as he mentioned how he and the girls confessed to each other, and he even stretched strands of his scarf to wrap around, affectionly on both of them. Making both Kyoko and Ruby, very happy and bashfully blush at the action of their Laharl.

Laharl smiled, Venelana, and Lady Sitri, gushed at the romantic story. But they didn't express it out open, as they waited for Rias to react. She had her hair cover her face, and was silent they were worried that Laharl, might have broken her poor young heart. But instead she looked up with a determined look, she got up from her sit, and pointed at Kyoko and Ruby as she said, "Kyoko!! Ruby!!! From now on your my rivals!!! Any other girl that comes, will now I'm the best girl!!!" Everyone was shocked by Rias' declaration, while Kyoko and Ruby smiled, accepting Rias challenge and rivalhood...while Laharl looked confused, as he thought to himself, "What... Yo, say and save that crap for the protag. I don't want to deal with all that crap, that befall her for just being the main heroine. I'm no freaking hero, no thank you!!"

After that the dinner went on a more positive vibe. Once desert came and went, Zeoticus requested the other adults attention for some important discussions. So Lady Sitri, Venelana, and Belladonna, told the kids to go with Sona to another room, while they finish some business. Sona nodded at her mother, and told the others to follow her...

Location Sona's Game Room Sona led Rias, Laharl and the girls to a room that was build for her own personal entertainment. The room was painted a light sky blue, and have many things, it was basically a game room, filled with many board games, a table already with a chessboard set-up. A tv with some consoles, which reminded Laharl to buy a lot of games and consoles later for his own Theater Room. But what he noticed on the table, underneath the TV, was some cases with specific names written on the side...Sailor Moon...seems that Sona has taken a liking to the anime he'd gifted her. Making him smirk, as that will mean Levi-Chan will emerge very soon.

Sona sat down on the black side of the table with a chessboard, and look at Laharl. As she adjusted her glasses, she said, "Laharl. Do you perhaps, ever played chess?" and Laharl, he already knew what Sona wanted, and he walked over to play. After Laharl won cause he was more smarter than Sona is currently, but in the future he knows that he'll never defeat Sona in chess or want to, since it'll mean that they'll be engaged. Apart from a few more marches between different players in chess, along with playing some other various games, they enjoyed themselves. And Rias was very clingy, much to Ruby and Kyoko's displeasure. After a couple of hours, Laharl's mom and Rias' parents picked them up to go home, and this dinner party finally end.

But not to the kids knowledge, the meeting was involving the upcoming Coming of Age ceremony. With Zeoticus mentioning of all three children showing great potential. Rias, her Power of Destruction, developing into great heights. Sona, her amazing magical power and intellect, surpasses many in their generation. And Laharl quite possibly the strongest devil in his generation, blesses with many talents and abilities. Whoever of the 72 Pillars would they marry and produce a child, the next generation will surpass all previous ones. Lord Sitri agreed but the ladies, didn't believing that their children should decided their own futures, but the men were stubborn, but Belladonna downright refused. Saying that they can decide on what to do with Sona or Rias, but not her Laharl. She wasn't persuaded, and they stopped trying to convince her to arrange a marriage for Laharl, thus she'd managed to save her son, but she couldn't do the same with Rias and Sona. They decided to talk to the girl when they reach twelve years of age, and quite possibly own some or at least one peerage member. And with that their meeting ended...

FIRST TEAM DUNGEON DIVE Location Field Dungeon Area 1

They arrived into the Field Dungeon, as the usual landscape of vast green fields with a blue sky, as all three of them ready to hunt as many monsters as they want. After the dinner party a couple days ago, they needed to have some real exercise, and Laharl decided it was time to introduce Ruby to the dungeon. Finding her a study sword that would do as a temporary weapon they began their dungeon dive, and monster hunt. It didn't take long for some green furred hellhounds to find them, and their hunting has started.

With Ruby's Wind Cutter technique, she took out the first couple of hellhounds, as Laharl closed in with one Blade Rush slashing the first hellhound, immediately doing another Blade Rush cutting down the next hellhound. Proving his mastery of the sword technique, that he can now do them in quick successions. And Kyoko used her Shuriken Wave to eliminate the farthest hellhounds, as she rushed in and took out all that remain. Making their first monster encounter as trio, end incredibly fast and successful. Like Kyoko before, when Ruby absorbed her first exp-drops of Red Exp, she was surprised on how affective they were on making her stronger.

This made Ruby very pumped, and she wanted to continue hunting and fighting immediately. Laharl and Kyoko were happy to see her soo excited, so they went further on. In couple minutes the trio took down many, many hellhounds, close to the three digits. So Ruby managed to level up her strength, and Kyoko finally gathered enough Blue Exp to level up her speed. Kyoko's speed and reflexes were drastically enhanced, along with Ruby strength she even had to hold back, as one of her sword swing ended up, not only crushing a hellhound but scattered her swords into pieces. Ruby, she gave a sheepish smile and laugh, while scratching the back of her head. Fortunately, Laharl saw this happening and stored a large amount of greatswords for Ruby to replace and use during their dungeon dive. But they hunt in the first area came to a halt, since they became too strong, too quickly that the exp-drop were too insufficient for them, so Laharl decided that they'll continue to the next area.

Location Field Dungeon Area 2 Having finished with the first area, Laharl and the girls ventured to the next area through the waypoint that he showed the girls. Just like Laharl told them it was a cave with a grass field floor. Laharl as he rested his Zanbato on his shoulder, he turned to his girls, Kyoko and Ruby, he warned them that the monsters on this area while not physically strong, they are magically powerful. He warned them of the Ghosts Tie Down and Bomb Magic spells, that can cause them incredible amounts of damage if their not careful.

Kyoko nodded to his warning with her kabar knives at the ready, and Ruby was getting impatient, as she walked on ahead. With Laharl and Kyoko following her. After a few steps further, they came face to face to a green robed ghost. Ruby was unimpressed, but she was still on guard incase she was too careless, because of the monsters non-threatening appearance. When the ghost noticed them, it lifted its robed covered arms up into the air, and let out a loud chirping noise, which drew a couple more ghost into the tight cave path. Laharl and Ruby struck before the ghosts could do anything, with each them using their own spell. Laharl shooting his Dark Bolt, while Ruby used her Anarchy Bolt. The purple and scarlet balls of different demonic powers, surged forward and struck the first ghost, causing a dark and chaotic explosion of energy, in purple and scarlet glows.

Their attack taking out the ghost, along with the other ghosts close to the first. As more started to wiggle their way forward, Kyoko struck next with her latest technique. Performing a sequence of several handsigns, before she started phasing underneath the ground, surging forward and once she was underneath the couple of ghosts, that were readying to use their Tie Down spell on Laharl and Ruby. Kyoko began her attack, circling around the unsuspecting ghosts, causing the ghosts to be blasted into the air by her released demonic energy, as the ghosts smacked against the cave roof, and started to fall, many ninja bombs made from Kyoko's own magic, appeared with all the fuses ignited. As they all exploded and took all the ghost out, by Kyoko's Ninja Art: Explosion, technique.

Kyoko resurfaced beside Ruby and Laharl-sama. As they complimented her, making her happy. Ruby playfully smacked her left shoulder, as Laharl-sama kissed her on the right check, making her very happy. What surprised Laharl despite their attack the cave of the dungeon didn't show much damage, which meant that they could a bit wild and not risk a cave-in. The three of them went over to where all the ghosts were destroyed, which made Laharl laugh nervously as he forgot to leave a couple of those ghost in tact to sell, but whatever this area should be filled with them. But instead of remain they found Green Exp, both Kyoko and Ruby knowing what they enhance intellect, since Laharl told them the main exp-drop of this area. As they absorb the bunch of green exp, they felt their mind expand and become clearer. With that Laharl looked at his girls, and said, "Well girls, let carry on. And have some fun, shall we?" as he presented the path forward like a gentleman. Making the girls chuckle, as they passed by their love, and went further in the second level of the Field Dungeon.

As they venture deeper into the area. They came across more ghosts, taking down them quickly and absorb the Green Exp from their defeated monsters. Eventually Laharl managed to break through a threshold limiter of his mind stat, he felt his mind expand into whole another level. Thinking became much more smoother and clearer, along with his analytics becoming faster and more precise. He may have underestimate how beneficial the mind stat is, while he still not a mind/intelligence based fighter, for other applications having a more expansive and faster working mind would be a G...safe, he almost mentally mention the big-man's name. Beside that they continued on their dive, and eventually they found a new monster in this level.

A weird creature it honestly has a eggplant shaped body, bone-like arms and a singular leg, along with a pair of wings. Laharl recognized it as the Gremlin from Disgaea one, he groaned as those little fuckers would cause some much issues on his first run of the game. But whatever, since it was new monster in the magic focused section of the Field Dungeon, it might prove to give a new exp-drop. Before they could plan, the gremlin made its annoying sounds, and attacked, flying at them, and sending miniaturized copies of itself at them, Laharl told the girls to back up, as the mini clones of the gremlin, started raining down bolts of magic. This is the gremlin's Air Assault skill, at least it wasn't the Hell Pepper one that could cause poison.

Deciding the best strategy against the Gremlin was attacking it from range. The trio started bombing it with Dark Bolts, Anarchy Bolts, and Shuriken Waves. But the gremlin was fast having aerial advantage, but that was also a disadvantage since these cave systems were too narrow. So eventually their persistence managed to land a blow, one of Kyoko's shuriken slashed its wing and permanently grounded the Gremlin. Allowing Laharl and Ruby to swoop in quickly and slash it and killing the gremlin. By far the toughest battle because the damn monster flew, as it drop some Yellow Exp. Enough for a bit for each of them, they approach the yellow exp and absorbed it, they felt their magic reserve slightly increase, along with it's power and recovery. So Yellow Exp enhances magic, and for now it was gremlins that drop that type of exp, so they'll be on the look out for more of them, as they carried on deeper into the cave system, still eager to hunt more.
