"That's fine. I will meet you in your headquarters at Kuoh Academy, we will speak more over there." Grayfia replied, before a magic circle enveloped her form and whisked her away from the mansion.
All that was left was silence after she left.
"...Rias-sempai. If we are causing you trouble here, then maybe we should-" Mio tried to say, before getting interrupted.
"Nonsense, you are all my guests in this summer home. This is just an...issue that I have been quarreling over for a while now." Rias claimed, a comforting smile playing across her lips. Reassuring her kouhai that everything was fine. "We will be back soon, so please try to keep your brother from destroying the house?"
Mio smiled. "Of course. You can count on me."
The older red-head smiled in approval and turned to wake up the Peerage members that would join her for this...interesting discussion.
The younger half-devil watched her friend leave to wake her Peerage members up, all to address a bizarre issue that she wasn't aware her friend had...
Engagement? As in an arranged marriage? Was there really such archaic things in modern devil society?
She glanced at the knocked out blond on the table, he seemingly fell asleep soon after the maid; Grayfia, appeared.
She supposed that he had every reason to, he must be exhausted...but he sure did have bad timing when it came to falling asleep. Maybe he might know what to do about the situation?
Well, from what she heard, nothing was going to be decided yet. It wasn't like this would be solved today or tomorrow. So they could ask about what happened later.
For now, best to just be patient.
Too bad though, she was hoping that she could spar with Rias-sempai today. Looks like she'd have to ask Maria then.
She left the room, wondering how to ask her eccentric guardian for a spar.
Unbeknownst to all of them however, a certain shinobi wasn't as unconscious as he seemed. Although to be fair, he was getting dangerously close to that.
He managed to keep himself awake during the minor back-and-forth between the maid and Rias-san, but like Mio, thought that he couldn't really do anything about it...yet.
He wasn't sure about the 'whys' or the 'hows' behind the engagement, but he was aware of just how not happy the Gremory heiress was about it. That was what really mattered here. But unlike most issues he dealt with...he couldn't really afford to just punch his way through the problem.
He also doubted that he could preach to her family about just how not cool their actions were.
After all...if they wouldn't listen to their own damn family member about the issue, then he doubted that an outsider like himself could make a dent in their beliefs.
That left one option...finding out how the stupid thing could get cancelled.
But he couldn't do that until Rias-san talked to him about it. So at least for the moment...he couldn't do much.
It was after he figured that out, that his exhaustion finally hit him hard.
Alright...well...since he couldn't do anything about the issue at hand until the high-class devil returned from her discussions...he may as well just sleep until then. Not like everyone else needed him to babysit them.
He could afford some time for himself.
So he closed his eyes, mercifully allowing his tired mind to rest for a good chunk of the day.
Soon after Rias left to wake her Peerage up from their rests, they left via magic circle back to the Kuoh Academy club building. Their expressions would let anyone know just how seriously they were taking the issue at hand.
Although, when Naruto actually woke up from his nap, he didn't expect for practically the entire mansion to be empty.
After regaining a sense of his surroundings and getting rid of the blurry drowsiness of his sleepy state, he looked around to find that the mansion was seemingly empty of life.
He frowned, he remembered that Rias-san was having a meeting with that maid and that most of her Peerage went along with her...but where did everyone else go?
He looked around for clues of his allies' whereabouts, and quickly stumbled upon one such clue.
To be specific, a note.
'If you see this note, it's likely that me and Maria haven't returned from our sparring session. We are training in the forest and plan to stay there for most of the day. Last I checked, Yuki was knocked out and so was the pervert. Although I don't know when you will see this note, can you check up on them for me? Make sure that Yuki is ok and I can't really trust the pervert with Asia-san...'
Naruto grinned at the note, Mio was such a worrywart sometimes.
Although he could understand why she was worried about Asia-san at times. He did have a record that most females wouldn't appreciate.
With this new knowledge, he got up and stretched his arms, enjoying the cracking noises that arose from the action. Time to check up on everyone.
