Mio glanced at Maria, suddenly realizing that she never told Maria yet.
Well...it was a pretty busy day yesterday...
"Well, I'm getting set up with a man by the name of Riser of the Phenex clan by my family. It was made without my consent or approval and I wish to dissolve the engagement. Naruto has volunteered to help me cancel it...but the problem is that I have no idea how he could." Rias explained with a far-away look in her eyes. Obviously attempting to scour her brain for what the unpredictable blond could be up to.
She got nothing.
"Maybe he said something that could give us a hint?" Mio pointed out, she herself was extremely curious in finding out what her 'brother' was up to.
The older red-head thought about it for a moment.
Then it clicked.
"He did seem to hone in on the idea of contracts...maybe he wants to trick Riser into signing one?" Rias wondered aloud.
But...no. That doesn't make sense.
As arrogant as the young son of the Phenex clan was...he still had his excellent education. As befitting a high-class devil of such a clan.
He wasn't stupid. He wouldn't fall for that.
But what else could the blond be planning...?
Then the quietest member of the table decided to point something out.
"...Naruto-sempai is strange. The way he thinks is strange. So trying to find out what goes on in his head is...strange." Koneko mumbled quietly.
...
...That was probably the most logical sentence that has come out of anybody's mouth throughout this trip.
...And it came from the quiet loli.
Thus, nothing more was said about the subject.
It's been a few hours since everyone woke up from their sleep.
Naruto was hard at work, finishing the last pieces of his ultimate weapon against the fir-he meant...Riser. His ultimate weapon against Riser.
Yeah.
His brows were furrowed and his face was scrunched up, concentrating on his masterpiece on this piece of paper.
He was drawing something...
The thing that would set his entire plan into motion.
He wasn't the only one who was working hard.
There were at least fifty clones that were bunched up inside the room, working hard at their own 'drawings'.
As a side-note. He just realized how ridiculously big these rooms were...
Each of his clones were carefully brushing their ink brushes onto their own individual pieces of paper. Concentrating heavily on their important tasks.
They were almost done...
Then they all snapped their heads up. Eyes widening as they sensed a demonic energy...
Shit! They didn't have much time left!
"Everyone! Double time!"
It's been a few hours since Naruto went back to his room.
The mansion has been suspiciously absent of explosions, at least to Mio.
It was making her antsy. A quiet Naruto with no explosions in the background was a very suspicious Naruto.
"Don't you think that you're being too hard on him, Mio-sama?" Maria asked with a sheepish smile.
The red-head didn't reply, she felt totally justified. Past experiences warned her about taking her 'brother' lightly.
But she decided to be patient and watch the fireworks this time, maybe his shenanigans could scare off Rias-sempai's fiancé ?
Really. Anything was possible with him...
"...You wonder why people question your relationship with Naruto-sama...your thoughts always go back to him..." the succubus pointed out with an indulgent smile.
Maria just got a death glare from her charge for her trouble.
But before Mio could go on a rant on how she didn't always think about a certain blond, a bright light suddenly appeared from behind them.
Both half-devils turned around in shock to check on what caused the sudden occurrence.
A magic circle.
A silver one.
It also seemed that they weren't the only ones who noticed the energy surge, as other members of the mansion began to rush back to the dining room in order ascertain what was going on.
Most of them recognized this demonic energy.
As expected, the maid of the Gremory family appeared from the magic circle, prim and proper as always.
"Rias-sama, I apologize for the intrusion." Grayfia stated while bowing to the high-class devil.
The red-headed devil put her poker face on as she approached the queen of her brother's Peerage. "It's fine, Grayfia. Are you here to tell me about what happened with those girls?"
The maid nodded, she was indeed. But that wasn't the only reason she as here.
Before she continued, she made sure to pay more attention on who was present, all of Rias-sama's guests to be exact...
She frowned at what she saw.
"...Why are there at least two humans here, Rias-sama?" Grayfia asked quietly, her eyes sharpening as she realized that they have seen her use demonic energy.
Asia's eyes widened in alarm and Yuki crouched her legs, ready to move if a fight broke out.
"Wait! These are my guests! They are well aware of the realities of the supernatural! They will not be harmed!" Rias demanded sternly while using her body to stand in the way of the maid and her friends.
She knew damn well that Grayfia could get through her whenever she wanted, but she was banking on the fact that the silver-headed maid followed protocols and class ranks while on duty.
Her bet paid off as the maid immediately stopped her hostile actions.
"Very well, but your brother would definitely want to hear about this." the older woman said, not even appearing fazed by Rias' actions.
The maid took another quick look around and couldn't help but notice that the blond male wasn't there...
But she had work to do, focus on him later.
