DXD: LORD NETORI

~

It didn't take long for Ken and Grayfia to arrive in front of the gates of the great palace belonging to the Gremory clan.

As Ken approached the gate with Grayfia by his side, the two gatekeepers on duty spotted them.

"Hold it!" One of the guards shouted.

"Hm?" Ken stopped his footsteps.

"Do you have business here?" The other guard asked.

"Yes, I came to visit an old acquaintance." Ken said honestly.

"Old acquaintance? Who?" The first guard asked.

"She is your great mistress, Venelana Gremory." Ken replied.

After saying that, Ken's facial expression slightly showed impatience.

"!"

The two gatekeepers were surprised and looked at Ken again carefully.

But no matter how they looked at him, Ken just looked like an ordinary person in their eyes.

They both had to admit that his face was very handsome, which made them feel annoyed and envious.

But that was it, other than his face, there was nothing else that looked special.

Seeing the two guards' expressions become suspicious, Ken clicked his tongue and became even more impatient.

"Tsk!"

Just as Ken was about to lose his temper, Grayfia finally came forward to help.

Because no matter what, Grayfia knew that if this continued, her lover would most likely create a bit of unnecessary trouble.

"This man is indeed an old acquaintance of Venelana-sama, I can guarantee it." Grayfia said.

Hearing Grayfia's words, the two guards looked at Grayfia deeply.

"Who are you?" One of the guards asked.

"I am Grayfia Lucifuge, the direct daughter of Lord Lucifuge." Grayfia replied.

"!"

The two guards wore shocked expressions, before finally bowing to salute.

""Forgive us for our ignorance."" the two gatekeepers apologized simultaneously.

"It's okay. Can we enter now?" Grayfia nodded to accept their apology and asked.

"Please!" Both guards said in unison.

After getting the approval, Grayfia nodded her head towards Ken and led the way for him.

With that, Ken continued his footsteps and passed the two guards with Grayfia leading the way.

"Hmm~ nice ass~" Ken muttered under his breath while looking at the scene in front of him.

Grayfia who could still hear him, her face flushed slightly and turned her head back to glare at Ken playfully.

"Hehe~ those two guards didn't hear it, what made you become embarrassed like that~" Ken said to tease her.

Seeing her lover who was teasing her, Grayfia could only snort slightly and stopped looking back.

But Ken was a little stunned when he saw Grayfia's playful way of walking.

In this way, Grayfia also decided to tease him with her 'strange' way of walking, to the point of making her plump buttocks wiggle left - right, as if she was mocking Ken.

But Ken only chuckled in response when he saw the woman in front of him teasing him back.

After playing around enough, Ken and Grayfia were then brought by a Maid from the Gremory clan.

"Please follow me." The maid said and led the way for the two.

~

Ken and Grayfia were brought to a large hall with a single chair that was thought to belong to the head of the Gremory clan, Zeoticus Gremory.

"Yo! Long time no see." Ken greeted cheerfully and raised his palm.

"Long time no see, Zeoticus-sama." Grayfia said and bowed politely.

Given that Grayfia was currently wearing her Maid uniform, it meant that Grayfia was currently on the job.

In front of the two of them at the moment was a man who was instantly recognized as Zeoticus Gremory.

Zeoticus was the current head of the Gremory clan, the husband of Venelana Gremory, and the father of Sirzechs and Rias.

Zeoticus is a handsome middle-aged man with long, dark red hair tied in a loose ponytail, with a black hairband.

He has bright blue eyes like his two children, Sirzechs Gremory and Rias Gremory.

He also had a short red beard with fang-like protrusions or horns.

"Ugh... Long time no see, what's up this time?" Zeoticus returned the greeting.

"Hey, hey, hey, am I not welcome here? I came all the way to visit an old acquaintance." Ken said and made a face like a 'hurt' person.

"Alright, alright, that face of yours won't work to fool me anymore." Zeoticus said.

"Eh? Since when did I trick you?" Ken asked with an innocent face.

Hearing his question, the corner of Zeoticus' mouth twitched.

"Have you forgotten? The last time you came to visit, you only asked me for money!" Zeoticus said with the corners of his mouth twitching even more wildly as he recalled Ken's visit to him last time.

"Hey! I only asked for a sample of one bill that can be used in the human world!" Ken defended himself.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just asking for money as an example... you jerk!" Zeoticus said even more annoyed after hearing Ken's reply.

That's right, after the civil war ended, Ken often came to visit the Gremory clan.

Not having a good reason at the time, Ken used the excuse of asking for a piece of money as an example to be copied by him and used in the human world.

Ken could have used his own knowledge and then made his own money.

But since there was Venelana in the Gremory clan, Ken used that excuse to come visit Venelana.

His main reason was just to strengthen his relationship with Venelana and leave quite an impression on her.

Well~ even though that reason sounded quite stupid just to meet a woman, Ken who didn't care about such trivial things wasn't affected.

By having absolute power, you are free to do anything.

Let it be occasionally acting like a fool and being unreasonable, if there was someone who didn't like him, Ken could slap him to death, as if slapping a fly.

"Where are Rias and Venelana?" Ken suddenly asked.

Hearing his question, Zeoticus could only sigh.

On the matter of Ken asking about his wife, Zeoticus felt there was nothing strange about it.

Zeoticus himself knew that his wife and Ken were old acquaintances, one could even say that the two were very good friends.

Not only did he know that Ken was good friends with his wife, Zeoticus even knew that Ken was also good friends with his Gremory clan ancestors.

Although his relationship with Ken looked like an enemy on the outside, this was how the two showed their friendship.

On the outside, they look like enemies, but in reality, they are good friends.

But unfortunately... only Zeoticus thought his relationship with Ken was real.

Not so with Ken, Ken didn't even put Zeoticus into the corner of his eye.

Considering Ken targeted Runeas Gremory, Chysis Gremory, Venelana Gremory and Rias Gremory as his targets, Ken naturally wouldn't be friends with Zeoticus.

From the beginning, Ken only acted and showed an attitude like 'a friend' to Zeoticus.

Because only in this way, Ken would be satisfied to destroy Zeoticus by letting him see the women become his.

Runeas was the ancestor of the Gremory clan, Chysis was his biological mother, Venelana was his wife, Rias was his daughter.

What will Zeoticus' reaction be like when he finds out that his loved ones were stolen by the person who has been regarded as his 'Friend'.

Ken was getting impatient to see his reaction as his mind, heart and soul shattered.

'Hehe~ the game is about to start.' Ken said in his heart.

"Rias is practicing with Akeno and Koneko, while Venelana, she is resting in her room." Zeoticus replied.

"Hmm... then I'll meet Rias and her friends first. Hehe~ whether that little girl still remembers me or not~" Ken said and hummed cheerfully.

"Then go and meet her, I'm sure she'll be happy to see you again after so long." Zeoticus said and nodded his head.

"Alright, then I'll go first." Ken said and left with Grayfia.

Seeing Ken and Grayfia leave, Zeoticus leaned back and sighed.

"Haahh... no one knows what the future will be like..." Zeoticus muttered under his breath.

From the tone of his muttering, Zeoticus was like a helpless old man.

...

Ken and Grayfia headed straight to a large training ground.

After getting there, Ken immediately saw three girls who were panting with sweat dripping from their cute faces.

"Yo! How are you girls." Ken said and approached them.

The three girls were Rias Gremory, Koneko Toujou, and Akeno Himejima.

For Rias and Akeno, the 'growth' in figure that the two girls had was indeed impressive.

If not for the fact that Ken knew both of them were twelve years old, Ken would probably think they were already fifteen or sixteen.

As for Koneko, she was more of a cute little loli.

But Ken himself knew the truth, Koneko actually had the same growth spurt as her older sister, Kuroka.

What made her not look like she was growing well was that Koneko was 'suppressing' or 'holding back' her true power as a Nekomata of the Nekoshou race.

This is all because Koneko has a trauma and fear of her power going out of control.

Because as she knew, even though Kuroka's status had been revoked as the most wanted SS-class criminal, the rumors about her older sister being drunk on her power had reached her ears.

Hence, currently Koneko still thought that the reason why her sister killed their master was because her sister was 'drunk' on her own power.

In other words, it could be interpreted as Kuroka being controlled by her power or being drunk and seduced by her own power.

At the moment, Koneko, who has yet to find out the reason why her brother killed their master, thinks so.

Because Koneko was afraid that her power would run amok like her brother, Koneko 'Suppressed' and 'Restrained' her original power as Nekomata.

That way, Koneko's current figure looks like it didn't 'grow' properly.

If Koneko currently releases her instincts and unlocks her full potential, Koneko's figure will only be slightly below Rias and Akeno.

In the original story, Koneko was even able to compete with her older sister, Kuroka.

Therefore, Koneko is one of Ken's targets from the list of female targets in this world.

For now...

Ken came forward and stroked the heads of Rias and Koneko.

"Hehe~ Long time no see, have you forgotten me?" Ken asked Rias.

"Hm?" Rias tilted his head cutely.

Looking at the confused Rias, Ken chuckled and took out the pudding to give to Koneko, Rias and Akeno.

Seeing the chocolate pudding in his hand, Rias' face suddenly changed and in her eyes there seemed to be glittering stars.

"Ken!" Rias exclaimed and jumped up to throw her body towards Ken.

Ken opened his arms wide and caught the little princess of the Gremory clan.

"Haha! Is it because of this pudding that you remembered me again?" Ken laughed and asked.

"Un! hehe~ I knew you would come back." Rias said with a big smile.

Her cute face was now starting to show its beauty and charm.

Although it was still faintly visible, it was still there.

Akeno and Koneko looked at Rias with questioning faces.

Well it was understandable if they didn't know Ken, the two of them had never even seen him.

Therefore, when feeling the gaze from Akeno and Koneko, Rias coughed.

"Ahem! This is Ken, he's an acquaintance of my mother and also the person I often tell you two about." Rias introduced Ken to Akeno and Koneko.

"Hello little girl." Ken said and smiled charmingly.

"I've heard a lot about you from Rias. Let me introduce you, my name is Akeno Himejima, nice to meet you." Akeno introduced herself.

"Are you strong? My name is Koneko Toujou, this pudding is really delicious!" Koneko introduced herself while eating the chocolate pudding in her hand.

Hearing Koneko's question, Ken could only chuckle and rub Koneko's head.

As many people know, don't cats love having their heads stroked?

"Hehe~ Of course I'm strong. You can eat it slowly, don't rush, no one will snatch your pudding." Ken said as he gently rubbed her head.

"Hmmm~ I see." Koneko nodded her head and meowed like a kitten when she felt comfortable as Ken's warm palm stroked her head.

Rias on the side puffed out her cheeks, then took Ken's other hand and placed it on her head.

Ken chuckled at the attitude of Gremory's little daughter who was jealous of Koneko.

"Grayfia-san, how are you?" Rias suddenly asked.

"Hmm? I'm good, how about you?" Grayfia answered and asked back.

"Hehe~ much better." Rias replied.

Grayfia could only smile helplessly at the girl's spoiled attitude towards Ken, her lover.

With that, they all chatted for a while and joked towards each other.

~

After enough playing around, Ken then trained the three of them and measured their respective strengths.

Like Rias who had yet to understand the power of her [Power Of Destruction].

Then there's Akeno who hasn't really mastered her [Holy Lightning] power.

And the last is Koneko who is still hesitant to use her full powers, such as [Senjutsu], [Youjutsu] and [Touki].

Koneko who hasn't even fully mastered those three powers, how could she possibly use her [Nekomata] mode?

When Koneko uses the power of [Nekomata], Koneko will have cat-like traits and appearance.

Two examples are growing two cat ears and a tail.

It was a natural power possessed by a Nekomata of the rare Nekoshou race.

Therefore, after measuring and assessing the strength of the three of them, Ken decided to stay temporarily in Gremory Castle.

Given the existence of Teleportation magic, Ken could return home at will.

Thus, at this time Ken decided to focus on training the three, Rias, Akeno and Koneko.
