DXD OVERLORD

PASSING TIME Location the Underworld, Bael Territory: Belladonna's Mansion

It been one hell of a year. Laharl, Kyoko, Ruby, and Cerberus are twelve, while Albedo is fifteen. But already they look like their about to enter their mid-teens. Aside from that Laharl managed to secure a contract of servitude and fealty of the entire nekomata race under his mom. At first she was shocked when her son brought hundreds of youkai to the mansion, but after he showed her all he has gathered from House Naberius, and told her about the reasons he didn't present any of this evidence to Sirzechs was valid. As much as she'd love her nephew, he just tried to talk his way to avoid possibly triggering aggression from the Youkai Faction, and the Shinto Pantheon would do the same. So Laharl way of handling the situation she'd approved, and welcome the nekomata to her home.

Providing them with a great spot not to close but not to far from the mansion, so they can settle. Several nekomatas even became maids, and placed under the guidance and command of Marron. While others join the guards to defend their new masters home. With this the nekomata race will survive and thrive under his mom's guidance. Needless to say, when Sirzechs and Serafall learned of this it was safe to say they nearly had heart attacks, but when mom showed the contract that strictly say that the nekomata are a servent race under her bloodline service, meant that no one, not even the Youkai Faction can go against it. And it also protected the nekomata from all fallout that will happen if Laharl's guesses around a year more, Shirone must be around nine or ten, since in DXD she'd first appeared when she was a junior in Kuoh Academy, age 15. Making her the youngest member in Rias Peerage, by only three year...with possible exception of Gasper but his age was never specified or when he joined Rias, he'd just appeared after the whole Riser arc.

But aside that things have gone smoothly. As things greatly improved since their new residents, established themselves in the territory. Even managing to begin with farming in their settlement. Currently Laharl, he and the girls were busy with doing their own things around the mansion. Kyoko was switching around her sowing requests and selling them to her rising clients, or training either in the training field or with her peerage, Ruby has taken to train some of the nekomatas that wanted to become apart of the guards, or enjoy her time with her sis, especially with Cerberus, or like always she's sparing with different peerage members.

Cerberus just had fun all the time, playing with the brooms of the maids much to their laughing complains, eating meat with Ruby, hitting her punching bag. One time during a spare between them and Ruby, with everyone watching their battle, Cerberus would rush in throwing various punches and kick, along with triplets leapin off another, sliding underneath of the other. Laharl, was impressed it really was a combination between young Naruto before he spams Rasengan overly depended on Kyuubi, while also using Triplicate Girl's elegance and misdirection of subtle moves and strikes. Both she and Ruby enjoyed themselves to the fullest, when suddenly Ruby managed connect a brutal blow to Vii.

The blow knocked out Vii of the triplets, and the aftermath was shocking. Kii and Mii suddenly stop move, and stood there twitching almost like their having convulsions. Laharl, the girls, and mom rushed over to check on Cerberus, as they checked on Kii and Mii, that's when Laharl realized that they share a consciousness and sensations. Which meant one of them going a unconscious, while others were still conscious sent sorts a backlash into their mind, being in state of consciousness and unconsciousness. Taking them away to rest, after a few hours they woke up fine, with a slight disorienting headache. Ruby begged for forgiveness, but Cerberus didn't mind, and was excited for next sparing match between, presenting their fists for Ruby to fist-bump them. With Ruby doing the fist-bump with a smile on her face, they were still good, but ever since that experience Cerberus has been more careful and didn't rely on her rook strength and durability boost.

Lastly there is Albedo. She spend her time easily tackling her queen duties along with assisting Lady Belladonna in her paperwork, she even took to spending time with future mother-in-law enjoying tea and listening music in her music room. Apart from that Albedo also taken to guide and help out the newest members to their group, providing them with advice and aid in various ways, earning her respect and admiration from the nekomata maids and residents of the territory.

Apart from their personal responsibilities and hobbies, they always spent time together with their man. They watches movies, played video games, and even a some private dates to much of each girl's joy and excitement. Laharl also took some time to train on a swordstyle that might soothe him, it involves one of the greatest and most badass swordsman in fictional history, which involves a knight in black armor, carrying a humongous sword. He also made some purchases to get better gear at last for the girls, while for Albedo he bought and order some jewelry, cause no blacksmith would ever be able to make something for her that is a strong or worth her current equipment. Along with spending time together or privately with his girls, Laharl, he took it upon himself to check on the nekomata settlement every now and again. Bond with his mom, and even showed her more songs, she adored Broken Wings by Mr. Mister. He also showed her Take On Me by A-ha, and Carry on Wayward Son by Kansa, along with much more, making his mom very happy and whenever they have time to listen to music together, they'd be soon join by the girls much to his mom joy, as they all bonded over music. That's how the months passed by.

SONA BOLDNESS Location Gremory Territory: Gremory's Mansion, Random Room in the Mansion

Rias and Sona along with their respected peerage were spending a rare moment together. As Sona not only came to talk about some important things with Rias, but also introduced her newest piece. Meguri Tomoe a reddish-brown haired devil in short pigtails. Who hails from the Meguri Clan, who mainly exorcised demons as it was their way of life, using spirit swords and their unique sword style to do so. However, a certain Youkai with a grudge cursed the family, and Tomoe's soul was cursed since the day she was born. Her parents requested the curse be lifted from a Devil who turned out to be Sona Sitri. She was then reincarnated as Sona's first Knight, and grateful for what Sona did for her and her family. Tomoe was excited to serve, and even formed a pack with Tsubaki-senpai in helping their King, make a move and win over the boy who she likes, Laharl Krichevskoy Bael.

As the two heiresses were playing chess with Sona in the lead both in this game, but score. She and Rias started this sorta ritual between them since a couple years ago, and the score was 3 to 9 in Sona's favor. This helped them...or mostly Sona...developed one skills in tactics, and talked to each others. Especially on one subject that they both hold dear, Laharl. As Rias moved her knight into position and taking another pawn from Sona, as she spoke, "So Sona...what did I do for your visit?" as Sona took Rias' knight with her bishop, and answering Rias' playful question, "Well Rias. I came today to talk with you about something...(taking a pause, placing her hands on her king-piece and look at Rias)...Laharl." As she mentioned his name, Rias, along with the other girls in the room, focus on Sona.

Sona showed her serious face at Rias as she said to her, "Rias I know you like Laharl. (as Rias look down at her side, blushing shyly) The truth is...I love Laharl too!! I want to be with him, and feel his arms around me, and experience the same happiness as the girls of his peerage!!!" Rias was surprised by Sona's boldness and direct confession. Tsubaki, Tomoe, and Akeno gushed and gasp happily at Sona's confession, as Sona then continued to speak, "I'm okay with Laharl's harem, he has proven that he'd never showed favoritism. And he has treated me as a girl, when you or my sister were in any room all eyes would be on you guys and never on me. But Laharl...Laharl is different. He'd listen to me, made me feel special and pretty. Like you he'd helped me with my magic, and showed me puzzle games to stimulate my mind. So I came here to say...I'm not gonna lose to you Rias!!!" Tomoe cheered for her King, and Tsubaki smiled as she adjusted her glasses proud at her friend and King for being honest about her feelings. Now the next step if for her to confess those same feelings to Laharl, Tsubaki and Tomoe were already coming up with plans and scenarios about that confession in their heads.

Akeno was in her "Ara, Ara" pose and said it to Rias, as she waited for her friend and King to respond. Rias had a shocked expression on her face, but then she smirked in a challenging manner. She finally responded to Sona, "Well, well. Sona, seem like this make us rival. Let me tell you, I won't surrender or backoff either. I'll show you I'm the best girl, the top one for Laharl-kun. So I'm sorry to have to beat you down from that position." Sona smirk challenging to Rias words. And they became intense rival for thereon. The girls smiled at the rival declaration of their respected king, and swore to help their respected friend be the first to get Laharl that's when Rias' father Zeoticus, and Sona's father Lord Sitri came into the room requesting Rias and Sona to come with them and tell something of great importance.

GIRLS' UPGRADES Location Bael Territory: Belladonna's Mansion, the Training Field

A week later. Laharl and the girls were in the training field testing out the recently arrived weapons that he requested for the girls. Kyoko finally got some worthy weapons that soothes her and her style. As she has a pair of large kunai, known as dai-kunai with bright red hishigami handles that end on a hoop for her to twirl her kunai. These dai-kunai are tough, strong and made some fine demonic materials to handle her channeling her demonic power and magic. She was slashing a wooden log to get used to them and develop a new technique that she'd mentioned she thought of after receiving her kunai.

Ruby was excited about her new sword, Laharl designed to be a exact replica of the Infernal Sword that Anime Laharl used. It was longer and bit wider than her faust sword, which she decided to keep as a backup and a sparing weapon. Because her Infernal Sword was made to immediately react when she wields it the sword start to be coated in chaotic energy which Ruby immediately liked and kissed Laharl deeply, and thanked him with soo much happiness, after getting her permanent sword. As she trained with it and discovered that all her sword technique gain some of her chaos magic attributes mixed them, thus granting Ruby a whole new thing in her destructive arsenal, she was pumped to test it out in either a Rating Game or the in the Dungeon. Hearing this made Laharl and the other smile, since they'd shared Ruby's desire to participate in another Rating Game, he has to remember to register the peerage into the rating bracket so they can participate in Rating Games on set dates.

Lastly it was Cerberus, Vii, Mii and Kii all received each a pair of knuckles and battle boots to enhance their fighting prowess and capabilities. They were soo happy and excited when Laharl presented these weapons to him, jumping and snuggling to him, like excited puppies. As their knuckle were of a meant to ring around their fingers and have a small sharp spike in each hoop, allowing them to strike and scratch at the same time, while their battle boots have steel-plating on the toe area, and small spikes on the soles, making their kick much more devastating when they connect. They were off on their punching bag testing out their weapons.

While Albedo understood she was a bit disappointed that she didn't received anything but then, Laharl-sama presented her with a golden, sapphire encrusted bracelet. Telling her that while no weapon or armor made by him, could be worth to her, he'd never not give her something. She loved her gift, and kissed him with a lot love and passion, swearing she'll treasure his gift forever!!!

With that Kyoko, Ruby and Cerberus have received great weapons to use. Soon enough they'll join the Rating Game properly instead of being just a side off group. This will greatly benefit them, and the rewards they'll get from participating and of course winning their matches would make them stronger faster!! Laharl, as he watched his girl happily training with their new equipment, he'd stretched his body to start his own training section as well.
