Chapter 93: The Start of the Wedding Arc
(Your POV)
After the events of Cao Cao's attack, a lot of things happened at once. Issei and I rejoined the peerages, with Issei taking up eight mutated pawn pieces of Rias Gremory and me taking on a rook piece of Issei Hyoudou. Issei finally got a familiar, some kind of Norse battleship. I also returned home to be met with my parents hugging me while crying their eyes out, and Yasaka later joining them also doing the same. Kunou later hugged me while crying, and I had to hold her to calm her down. Azazel also announced that he's no longer the Fallen Angel Governor, and was now both the main advisor for fallen angel technology and one of the main supervisors of Kuoh. Zenorse and Vagus both left while leaving something behind, with Zenorse leaving a clump of his hair behind, and Vagus leaving behind a rainbow colored eye. Maybe I can incorporate both into Junkyard Dog. Finally, the last thing that changed is that Kiba, Akeno, Issei, and I all became middle class devils. Which seems kind of irrelevant now because we just did something even high class devils couldn't do in the span of like a couple minutes.
"Uh...what are you guys doing?"
"Protecting the precious Sealboi."
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the Vali Team was now officially living with us, and Kuroka was currently cuddling on my lap, much to the annoyance of Koneko, who is mad that her spot was taken by her sister. Le Fay was also sitting right next to me, clinging onto my arm while Arthur and Bikou stood defensively on either side of me. Vali was just standing from the hallway, leaning against the entrance. On a different chair in the living room, Issei was in shock.
"So...you and Rias...dating?" Issei didn't believe it, but I still nodded to confirm this. "...And you're making a harem?"
"Not intentionally but I'm okay with it." I shrugged, I'll protect and care about everyone regardless of them wanting to be in my harem.
"Is there anyone left for me to date...?" Issei asked while looking up at the ceiling, don't tell me I'm making him question his life choices.
"I think that Aika girl likes you." Arthur guesses while guarding me with his life for some unknown reason.
"Wait, you never went to Kuoh Academy, how do you know who she is?" Issei questioned, but before he could get an answer, Natalia entered the living room and let out a frustrated groan. Not the usual lawyer groan, but a normal groan.
"(Y/N), I need your help." Natalia sat on a couch opposite of Issei. "Actually, I need everyone's help for this one."
"What is it? A client is giving you trouble?" I questioned Natalia, who took off her glasses to put pressure on her forehead.
"No...let's just call everyone in here so I only have to say this once." Natalia sighed. "FAMILY MEETING!"
With that said, everyone came out from their rooms to see what was going on. Rossweisse and Akeno came from the training room looking slightly sweaty from training. Both of them sat close to me with Rias taking Kuroka's spot on my lap. Everyone else just flooded into the living room. Only Rias and Issei's peerage was here right now because my peerage was doing other things back home. Aside from the peerages, Yasaka, Kunou, Dagda, Connla, Asger, and Azazel were also here.
"So, as you all may know, me and Asger's wedding is soon." Natalia announced before she sighed. "There's one problem. Half my family are basically wine aunts, and if they show up here and see that I'm not successful and socially active, they'll gossip about me."
"Have you seen the size of this house?" Azazel questioned while gesturing all around him. "If they don't think you're successful they're on crack."
"Oh I have the success part down thanks to (Y/N), but I need people to act like my friends, and since I suck at making friends...I'm asking all of you to invite people you know since I need to make it look like I'm popular and stuff so my relatives won't gossip. Also, NO MAGIC! NO SACRED GEARS!"
"So...you basically want us to invite a bunch of people because you have no friends and don't want to be smack talked by your relatives?" Connla questioned, only to be met with a shoe to the face. "I'll take that as a yes."
"Okay Natalia, you want us to invite people over, then we'll do just that." Azazel smiled as he pulled out his phone and began making a series of phone calls.
I also called some people over to help Natalia feel less lonely on her wedding day. I decided to call up my peerage and some other people who weren't in my peerage yet but I was considering adding. Rias also called some people that she knew. After all of us made our calls, we all decided to play the waiting game. Issei wanted to play a different game though, he wanted to try playing smash bros. I wasn't exactly good at the game, but Rias protected me the entire time until it was just the two of us. Rias was clearly having trouble because she didn't want to fight me, but she couldn't wait until the time ran out. Rias debated what to do while I had trouble figuring out the controls. The doorbell suddenly rang, and Rias used this as an excuse to turn off the console. Kiba, Rias, and I all got up from the couch to greet our guest, and the first person who was here was none other than the Ultimate Holiday Spirit, wearing a white dress holding a bundle of roses.
"Nico..." Kiba was astonished to see Nico not only wearing a white dress, but standing right before him.
"Um...hi?" Nico was suddenly hugged by the blonde haired swordsman. "Long time no see?"
"Don't ever disappear like that ever again!" Kiba shouted as Issei looked at the soap opera-like romance happening right in front of him. "I was so worried that someone had taken you during the battle of Kyoto!"
"Oh, Nico is sorry, Nico's mom needed Nico's help with something right away, so Nico had to leave!" Nico handed the roses to Kiba. "Here, these are for you, Kiba. As an apology for scaring you like that."
"Why would your mom call you right from the battlefield without warning?" Kiba questioned as he took the flowers. "Who is she anyways?"
"Oh, she's a super cool swordswoman named Ursula, I think you've heard of her." Nico smiled, and all of us recalled Zenorse's cousin. Wait, that would make Nico Zenorse's relative? Honestly that explains quite a bit.
"I BROUGHT SKULLS FULL OF BACON!" Nahele's voice could be heard from outside, so all of us stepped outside and looked up onto the top of the roof of the lighthouse. "INTESTINES FULL OF CONFETTI TOO!"
"How did he even get up there?" Akeno questioned while crossing her arms. "Do wendigos have wings?"
"Not unless he got a hold of one of my experiments and ate it."
Behind me, I saw Ajuka wearing a business suit, followed by Sirzechs wearing a similar suit, Serafall in a magical girl costume, and Falbium wearing a general uniform. Nahele then fell from the lighthouse tower and onto the ground, revealing that he was wearing nothing more than mud stained jeans, no shirt or shoes at all. Sarah and Yozakura soon drove up in some kind of hearse-like vehicle, with Yozakura carrying a koala in her hands.
"WOO, GRAVE ROBBING!" Sarah slid over the hood of the hearse, stopping midway before she quickly scooted over the rest of her hood and stopped directly in front of me. "Hi!"
"You do realize grave robbing is illegal, right?" Sirzechs asked the girls, who didn't even acknowledge him.
"We do, but dead people don't need fancy clothes, or their bones and organs, so I see nothing wrong with it." Yozakura walked past us carrying a koala and a box full of something. I don't think I want to know what the box was full of.
"So...we were called out here to make some lady look less lonely at her wedding so her aunts won't judge her?" Falbium asked in the most tired tone imaginable. "That is peak loneliness."
"I don't want to hear that from the guy who spends all his free time asleep in his office, putting all his paperwork on his poor lieutenant." Sirzechs was joined by Grayfia and Milicas.
"(Y/N)! I'm so glad you're okay!" Serafall wrapped both her arms and legs around my torso like a koala, holding herself onto my chest. "I heard about your death and I began crying! I was so worried!"
"Sister, please get off (Y/N)!" Sona walked up the road with her peerage, all of whom were wearing casual clothes. Sona herself was wearing a collared shirt, khaki shorts, and sandals. Sona then pried her sister off me. "I got your message, so where's the lonely woman?"
"Hey, I have a husband and a step son, I am not lonely!" Natalia hugged Asger as a group of crows began making their way towards us. Wait...those were fallen angels! One of whom looked familiar...Yuma! "Oh hey, fallen angels."
"I'll take care of them." I summoned an ocean magic circle, but before I could shoot them down, Azazel stopped me by standing in front of the magic circle, forcing me to make it disappear.
"Wait, (Y/N), these are some fallen angels I'd like you to meet." Azazel gestured to the four fallen angels as they landed beside him. "(Y/N), meet Raynare, Mittlet, Kalawarner, and Dohnaseek."
"What are you talking about?" I cross my arms. "Her name is Yuma, not Raynare?"
"Wait, you still think Yuma is my name?" Yuma questioned me, and I nodded. "Well since I'm no longer after you...my real name is Raynare. Yuma was a fake personality I made up to try and kill Issei for his sacred gear."
"I mean if you wanted to kill him just cause we'd completely understand." Tomoe, Sona's knight, shrugged to herself. "I mean, we're getting pretty tired of his peeking."
"Hey! Rude!"
After that, some unfamiliar people began showing up. The first of whom was a beautiful blonde woman with green eyes, who was accompanying Michael. The next person was an older woman who looked amazingly like Akeno, and by older, I mean she looked to be around Rossweisse's age. There was also a group of people I didn't recognize, but I could tell two of them wielded Longinus, and four of them wielded similar sacred gears to one another. Finally, Sairaorg, Zephyrdor, and Seekvaira arrived, all of whom brought their peerages. Sairaorg wore a black tank top with gym shorts and sandals. Zephyrdor wore a dark blue jacket, gray pants, and hiking shoes. Seekvaira wore a purple business suit with heels.
"Hey Michael, thanks for coming, but who is this?" I thanked the angel, and looked at the woman beside him.
"Oh yes, you two have never been introduced before." Michael recalled before gesturing towards the woman. "(Y/N), I'd like you to meet Gabriel, Gabriel, this is (Y/N). He's the boy I told you about."
"Oh, it is very nice to meet you (Y/N)!" Gabriel appeared slightly naive and innocent, kind of like Asia was when I first met her. "I have heard of your many exploits."
"Thank you Gabriel." I shook the woman's hand, and the woman looked surprised that my larger hand was able to envelop her hand. Suddenly, I noticed Natalia was praying. "Mom, what are you doing?"
"I'm Catholic, I'm supposed to pray whenever I see something holy." Natalia defended herself.
"Wait, I'm an angel and you never pray before me?" Irina pointed out, and in response, Natalia shrugged.
"You ain't in the Bible, you don't count." Natalia defended herself, and I decided to look at the unnamed group, who Azazel was talking to.
"All right (Y/N), this is Tobio Ikuse, a cousin of Akeno, wielder of Canis Lykaon, and the leader of Slash/Dogs." Azazel introduced the boy who looked to be around Rossweisse's age. "Behind him are Lavinia Reini, Natsume Minagawa, Kouki Samejima, Sae Toujou, and Shigune Nanadaru."
"Nice to meet you (Y/N), I was kind of hoping we can forge an alliance or join the Tarot at some point." Tobio introduced himself. "Since they're not as limiting as other kinds of peerages and it makes humanity it's priority I'm okay with joining it."
"Vali!" The blonde witch known as Lavinia rushed towards Vali, who was in shock before hugging him for seemingly no reason. "I missed you! You never return my calls, you naughty boy!"
"Woah woah woah, back things up sister." Nancy appeared out of nowhere and pushed the woman away from Vali, is my sister secretly a ninja or something. "Who are you and why are you obsessed with Vali?"
"You have no room to talk." Bikou pointed out before Nancy pulled a switch blade and aimed it at Bikou. "I am not apologizing for what I said."
"So...Issei's still alive?" Kalawarner looked at the red dragon in question. "Raynare, how do you fail so miserably at one simple task?"
"Wait, you guys tried to kill Issei?" Natalia walked towards the fallen angels and held out her hand. "Would you like to be my bridesmaids?"
"I'm a guy." Dohnaseek adjusted his trench coat and fedora. "So I'm not sure how that would work."
"You all tried to kill Issei, so we have a common enemy." Natalia's glasses flashed, making it impossible to see her eyes.
"Nothing brings people together like mutual hatred." The woman who looked like Akeno pointed out before introducing herself. "Oh, I am Suzaku Himejima, the woman you sent the High Priestess request form to."
"Oh, it's finally nice to meet you in person." I noticed how she and Akeno share the last name, and I have heard about the Himejima Clan hunting Akeno. "But if you're here to finish what the Himejima clan started, I won't forgive you."
"Oh, I'm actually one of the only members who wanted to protect Akeno, so don't worry too much about me." Suzaku held her hands up defensively. "Still, I'm proud of her for finding someone who cares so deeply for her."
"Hey guys, I made cupcakes!" Asger walked out of the house carrying a tray of cupcakes, most likely trying to win the favor of everyone here, and much to my surprise, it was working.
"(Y/N) (L/N)!" Out of nowhere, I saw Cao Cao walking towards us with Leonardo, Jeane, Heracles, and Georg close behind him. Where was Siegfried? "I have co-"
"NO!" Natalia pointed at Cao Cao and the rest of the hero faction with an annoyed expression. "NO MAGIC BATTLES. SIT YOUR CULOS DOWN AND GRAB A CUPCAKE!"
"But-"
"NO."
"Lesson one Leonardo: Don't piss off MILFS." Heracles had Leonardo on his shoulders like a father would hold his child.
"Excuse you?" The short haired woman known as Natsume was cracking her knuckles while glaring at Heracles, who looked confused.
"What? I mean 'Mean Ill-Tempered Ladies I Fear." Heracles explained while he grabbed a cupcake for both himself and Leonardo, taking a bite out of it, his face lit up. "These are amazing Mr.(L/N)."
"I mean, it's completely reasonable to not like the person who killed your son." The level headed blonde known as Shigune defended Natalia. "So...are we expecting anyone else?"
Out of nowhere, the sound of explosions going off could be heard, and all of us turned around and noticed several of my friends falling from the sky. The first of whom was Onihime, who was caught by Gasper using his sacred gear to freeze her in place. The second of which was Ayako, who was quickly caught by Sairaorg, who held her princess style. The third person was Unohanna, who landed on Saji, knocking the poor boy unconscious. The last person was Kankuro, who landed on the roof of my house.
"Are they okay?" The brown haired girl of Slash/Dog named Sae questioned as all my friends began rising in slight amounts of pain. "Oh thank goodness they're okay."
"Okay, new rule, we need to put a limit on how many explosions Onihime's tricks can use." Kankuro got up from the roof, revealing that his joker mask was cracked.
"Hey, we survived didn't we?" Onihime fell to the ground with a chuckle. "Fear my lucky powers!"
After that, a crimson colored magic circle suddenly appeared close to us, and I recognized it as the transportation magic circle of the Gremory Household. From the magic circle, Zeoticus and Venelana appeared, and both of them rushed at me and hugged me. Natalia and Asger were both confused by this sudden hug and slightly insulted.
"Hello future son in law!" Zeoticus greeted with a cheerful voice, and Rias looked insulted that they didn't hug her first. "It is so good to see you again!"
"Same with you, Rias, Sirzechs, Grayfia, and Milicas." Venelana stops hugging me to hug her grandson. "Milicas, you've grown so much since I last saw you."
"So what brings us here today?" Zeoticus stopped hugging me and looked around, noticing Ophis, Vali's team, the hero faction, and the group of fallen angels. "...I don't like how this looks."
"Before you say anything, we're not fighting, we're here to make Natalia over here look less lonely in front of her family." Falbium explained, which did make my step mom look pretty pathetic. "Apparently these guys were kicked out of the Khaos Brigade, and they like (Y/N), so they're helping now."
"I count at least twenty ways this could go wrong..." Venelana sweatdropped while looking at Ophis.
"Oh don't worry, (Y/N) pretty much stole the True Longinus, Dimension Lost, and Annihilation Maker, so they can't do anything even if they wanted to." Vali informed everyone, who looked confused. "Oh yeah, it turns out (Y/N) is one of the many reincarnations of the guy who made the Longinus, and is apparently the last reincarnation."
"I feel as though we need to be caught up on multiple things..." Gabriel sweatdropped.
"Indeed you do."
(A/N: Alright kiddos, two things: The first one is that there's a QnA going on in the 100th chapter, so start thinking up questions. Any questions. Well, not my address or anything like that. The second thing is that I'm going to need help from fluent Spanish Speakers for the wedding arc. Why? Because my Spanish is more on par with a child's. So I need someone's help to make sure the phrases are correct. I can't say there'll be anything in it for you if you do if, other than my never ending gratitude.
