High School DxD DX - Volume 5 - Chapter 2

Life.2 Maid of the House of Pendragon

Part 1 

This is something that happened immediately after the beginning of the year???. 

An extremely rare invitation came to me from a certain man. 

It was scheduled for us to meet at the front of Kuoh Academy on my day off, the one who appeared there was???. 

"Hello, Sekiryuutei. It looks like I made you wait". 

It was a handsome young man with a gentlemanly conduct ??? Arthur. 

That's right, Arthur asked me to guide him through Kuoh Academy. I promised to take him through the school during a day off. Otherwise, if I were to guide him on a weekday, we would cause trouble for the other students and teachers, resulting in us coming here today. 

As I already informed Rias and Azazel-sensei, we could tour inside the school. 

"I see, so this is the Kuou Academy". 

While entering, Arthur looked at the empty classroom with great interest  as we walked through the corridors. 

"You can enter if you want. I already got permission for it". 

As I said so, Arthur replied: [Then I'll excuse myself] and entered the classroom. 

I said to Arthur, who was looking around the interior of the room. 

"However, to think that you would say that you wanted to visit here". 

While approaching the window, Arthur replied. 

"Yes, it is the school that my little sister may attend after all. As an older brother, I wanted to more or less check it". 

Ah? I see. Hearing that, I understood. 

To be honest, next year??? in April, there was talk that Le Fay may attend this academy. 

I heard that Arthur was concerned about his little sister’s education . Thinking that a girl of that age wasn’t attending school and staying in the house of another person may be a bother???. 

......Even if Arthur had such thoughts, Le Fay is a magician and originally a member of the Vali team. She probably wouldn't be able to live her life like a normal person. However, in these current circumstances???, as a?D×D?member living in this town, the talk is different, right???? The older Brother, Arthur, thought like that. 

Probably seeing that we, the Gremory peerage and Sitri peerage, who even while being attacked by terrorists continue attending school, pushed Arthur to think about it too. 

No, thinking about it, the fact that we could attend school even under those circumstances was an amazing situation...... However, if we forget our duties as students, surely, we'll be immersed in fights every day. 

At least when nothing happens, we want to fully enjoy the ordinary life of a student. 

What I mean is, Arthur is thinking about granting this to his little sister too. 

The mentioned Le Fay had a good feeling when asked about attending it. 

Furthermore, it looks like she wants to transfer here from zero, she said she will take the tests to be accepted in the school. 

Looking over this, Arthur probably became interested in the school that his little sister may attend. 

And about Arthur..... he was crawling his finger through the window frame and looked at the dust on it while raising his glasses. 

"..... I see". 

......He's smiling, but......he looked like he wanted to say something. No, forgive at least this little amount of dust in the window frame! 

"T-this is a good school. We attend it together with the normal students and other people from the supernatural side hiding their circumstances. This school has a favourable reputation among them too...... at least I think so". 

Unconsciously, I started talking formally. I don't use this way of talking when conversing with the other members of the Vali team, but I can't do anything as I'm alone with this person...... I mean, he's a gentleman and carries himself with dignity. 

Unconsciously, I start wanting to talk politely. 

Then, while I was troubled as to how to deal with this, I received an email on my cell phone. It was from Rias. 

A visitor from the UK arrived. She came to help Le Fay.? 

! 

I was surprised with mail from Rias. A visitant to Le Fay? That means..... for the time being, I looked at Arthur’s direction and told him about this too. 

We quickly ended the school tour and returned to Hyoudou mansion. 

Looks like the visitor already arrived in the house. I could hear a voice from the living room and peeking with my face, I could see a young woman in maid clothes being hugged by Le Fay. 

"Elaine! To think that you would come here!" 

Le Fay, who usually had a calm atmosphere, was hugging the maid in high spirits. 

A British woman with black hair, from just looking, it looked like she was in the early half of her twenties. Her black long hair was tied at the top of her head and her bearing was graceful, as she had the look of a lady. 

The woman smiled while hugging Le Fay. 

"Of course, Le Fay-sama. Leaving that aside, I'm really sorry for not coming to greet you until now...... It took time for the family head-sama to explain to me". 

".....Is that so? From Otou-sama..." 

The maid-san looked at our direction. 

"I'm sorry, I was rude. It looks like my introduction was a little delayed..... I serve as a maid in the Pendragon household and I'm called Elaine Westcott. Mainly a servant of Le Fay-sama. Devils from Japan, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance". 

The maid-san??? Elaine-san greeted us. 

A maid from Pe-Pendragon household! Above all, she's a worker under Le Fay. 

Elaine-san bowed to Rias. 

"To think that I would be able to meet with the little sister of that Maou Lucifer......  I'm extremely delighted." 

Rias smiled as well. 

"Come now, that's an exaggeration. It is me who should be saying that since my peerage has been under Le Fay's care. On the contrary, I'm the one who should be saying thanks". 

As Rias said, we really have been under Le Fay's care. especially me. I've really been under Le Fay's care. After this, I should thank Elaine-san too. 

While I was deciding this inside my mind, Kuroka, who was at my side, seemed to have understood something. 

"Ah? the one from rumours". 

"Hm? Did you know her Kuroka?" 

As I asked, Kuroka whispered in my ear. 

(She's in charge of teaching Le Fay~nyan. I heard that she's a magician too. If I'm not mistaken, she is a descendent of one of the three people who founded the Magician Association, [Golden Dawn]. Westcott something) 

! 

......This is a really interesting talk. It's the Magician organization that Le Fay was a member of before leaving with Vali??? Golden Dawn. 

It's a different organization from the one who Mephisto Pheles-san is the director, [Grauzauberer].   

Above all, this Elaine-san is a descendent of one of the people who founded Golden Dawn...... 

(So she has a blood relationship with an important person?) 

I asked this with a small voice and Kuroka nodded. 

(Well, it probably became Le Fay’s inspiration to enter that organization.) 

Because they have this kind of connection, we can make this kind of assumption. Actually, we don't know what kind of relationship this organization has with Le Fay’s family...... 

When I was having these thoughts, Elaine-san completely ignored me, and this time, ???stood before Arthur. 

She said bowing. 

"...... Arthur-sama too, I'm relieved that you don't seem to have changed". 

Arthur didn't wipe out his smile, but he replied a beat slower. 

"...... Yes, you as well". 

After replying like this. 

"..................." 

"..................." 

There was an indescribable mood between Arthur and Elaine-san. 

.........................?  Uh?, hmm. Well, while Arthur is the oldest son of the Pendragon household and he has the circumstances of running away with the treasured sword of his family; Collbrand while Elaine-san is a maid serving his family. 

The two of them are probably acquaintances..... they probably have complicated feelings regarding each other. 

However, the group of women who live here showed a different reaction to mine. 

"Ara, ara". 

"Yes, this is quite interesting". 

"This...... could it be?" 

"Well, it should be what you are thinking". 

"......Oh, dear!" 

Akeno-san, Rias, Irina, Rossweisse-san and Ravel sent gazes of curiosity while alternating between Arthur and Elaine-san's face. 

As if to clear this atmosphere, Elaine-san cleared her throat and asked Le Fay. 

"......Then, Le Fay-sama. Who's the Sekiryuutei-sama whom you signed a contract with......?" 

Elaine-san said while looking around us. Looks like she was told by the Pendragon household that Le Fay is connected with the Sekiryuutei through a magician contract. 

Sekiryuutei??? it's about me, but it seems like she doesn't know my face so she's looking at me, Kiba and Gasper, the men that were present here. 

She probably only knows that the current Sekiryuutei is a man. 

Elaine-san shifted her sight from me and started focusing on Kiba and Gasper!? 

Or rather, she completely disregarded me and stood upright before the two of them! 

But Le Fay, who stood by my side, formally introduced me. 

"Yes, this gentleman here is the current Sekiryuutei, Hyoudou Issei ". 

"Yes, thank you. I'm the Sekiryuutei Hyoudou Issei". 

I bowed at Elaine-san too. 

It's about Elaine-san, but… 

"..............." 

She looked at my face with wide shocked eyes and in amazement.   

She once again looked at Kiba and Gasper’s direction, but...... both of them showed a troubled smile and said: [I'm not the Sekiryuutei] and [ The same here......]. as they clearly denied it. 

"......Uhh". 

Elaine-san was troubled about what to say, but she finally understood and bowed her head and apologized. 

"............ I was rude. Different from what I imagined, you look like quite the unique person, so I was troubled on how to react. I can feel Dragon aura coming from you, but, I mean, how should I say it......? I'm really sorry!" 

...I'm sorry for being the Sekiryuutei! 

In any case, compared with Kiba, he is better looking than me and probably has a Sekiryuutei-looking atmosphere! 

What Elaine-san wanted to say was that although she could feel Dragon aura coming from me, because she felt the power of several dragons coming from the Hyoudou residence, she thought I was just a??? normal dragon. 

On the contrary, she thought that either Kiba who completely didn't let out Dragon aura, but was clad in a powerful, quiet atmosphere, or Gasper with his cute face, but with a bottomless aura floating around him, was the Sekiryuutei. 

...... It's that so!? Somehow, adding to my appearance, my expression made her think that I'm not the Sekiryuutei!?   

Anyway, I was born as an ordinary person without dignity who became the Sekiryuutei! 

Did Rias guess what I was thinking? She embraced me and said. 

"I understand, Ise. But, that's alright...... In around 10 years or so, if you let your beard grow, it may increase your authority as the Sekiryuutei". 

Uu, a beard! It probably wouldn't be bad, I thought so. 

......Thinking about it, although she is suppressing her power in this house, the Dragon God called infinity, Ophis is here and Asia who made a contract with several Dragons is here too. 

It wouldn't be an overestimation to say that this house is a Dragon’s den. 

Although she is a master at magic, when searching for our presences, on the contrary, It wouldn't be weird if her senses were to become sluggish.....? 

Elaine-san cleared her throat and said why she came to visit this time. 

"The reason why I came to visit Japan was because of the family head-sama of the Pendragon household??? that means Arthur-sama and Le Fay-sama's father. He wanted to know how the two of you are doing, so he bestowed the order for me to come". 

Rias asked while putting her hand on her chin. 

"That is, he wanted you to see how Arthur and Le Fay’s life here was ?" 

Elaine-san nodded at Rias question. 

"Yes. As I'll be bothering you for a few days. Meanwhile, I was thinking if you may let me watch Arthur-sama and Le Fay-sama up close. I'm sorry, this too is the consensus of the Pendragon household". 

Hearing this, Rias nodded. 

"......Since the son and daughter of the noble family from the UK’s Pendragon household were left in this land, I can't just deny it. Especially Le Fay, who's staying in this side's house". 

Hearing this, not only Elaine-san, but Le Fay bowed her head as well. 

"Thank you very much, Rias-sama!" 

"I'm truly thankful for your magnanimous consideration. I'm deeply grateful to you, Maou's younger sister and everyone from the peerage too". 

Raising her head, Elaine-san said. 

"Then, firstly, I want to introduce myself to the Vali team, who Arthur-sama and Le Fay-sama bothered the most???" 

Elaine-san said so, but I perceived that at one point, Arthur disappeared???. 

Part 2 

"First we need to clean this!  I won't accept this kind of room!" 

In a room in the underground, Elaine-san’s angry voice could be heard. 

Elaine-san wanted to introduce herself to the members of the Vali team, the first to be chosen was Kuroka, who is always together with Le Fay. 

She invited Elaine-san to her room in the underground of Hyoudou residence, but...... what we saw there was the interior of the room in complete disarray. 

Le Fay and Kuroka were sharing a large room, but before we noticed, Kuroka made more than half of the room hers. 

Her private possessions were abandoned in a small space of the room. On the other side, a place was sticking out like a sore thumb, it was completely clean and orderly, probably it was Le Fay living space. 

Of course, seeing this is easy to imagine why Elaine-san instantly became enraged. 

Kuroka??? and I too started cleaning the room. 

A kotatsu was abandoned in the middle of the room and with it as the center, things were scattered. Probably, because it's Kuroka we are talking about, she basically lives inside the kotatsu, so she put those things where her hands could reach them. 

If you ask the person in question, I think that she'll say that these things are in the best position for her to live in the kotatsu. 

"Ah! It was alright to leave the pillow there! Ah! Wait! My coat is there because my hands can reach it nyan! If you take it from there, it'll be a bother to fetch it!" 

Currently, Kuroka was raising a voice of protest against Elaine-san, who was quickly organizing her things. 

Even if it's the best arrangement for the person in question, to others it only looks like a dirty room. As one would expect, Even I don't know what to think about a room disordered to this extent. 

......While thinking this and that, I found a see-through panties below a magazine! 

Th-this is, in all probability, no! 

This is absolutely Kuroka's...... this kind of lewd panties were appearing one after one from below the scattered things! 

Probably, it isn't something that she dressed and threw off. She left it the way she bought it? or, she discarded it after washing and drying it, I think it is one of these two options...... even if I were to take one, she wouldn't find out about it. 

I was tormented by this kind of worldly desire, but...... I decided that it was sufficient to just see Le Fay and Elaine-san who were nearby, look and touch it. 

But, there are only panties and not even a bra..... she is organizing only her bras tidily? No, there's no way Kuroka would do this kind of thing...... 

Thereupon, while showing a satisfied, lewd smile, Kuroka whispered in my ear. 

(I think that it's troublesome, that's why I basically don't have a bra. I'm always without it, you know? By applying Senjutsu and Youjutsu I can maintain it beautifully even without wearing one. That's why; I'm without a bra even now). 

She said this while looking at me with moist, erotic eyes. and as if it weren't already enough, she emphasised her breasts! 

N-no-bra! What wonderful words! Or rather, because these girls living in my house spent a long time without a bra, when looking at it, there're only breasts shaking! Thank you very much! Thank you very much! Senjutsu and Youjutsu, hurrah! 

Elaine-san called Kuroka. 

"Kuroka-sama! It's cleaning time! It's hard to forgive that Le Fay-sama’s friend is living this kind of messy lifestyle! If Le Fay-sama were to copy you, I can only become concerned about the future prospects of Pendragon household!" 

"...... Yes, yes". 

Kuroka took the broom reluctantly and started cleaning the room once again. After a short while, was she concerned about us? Koneko-chan appeared. 

"...... I'll help too". 

Koneko-chan deeply bowed her head towards Elaine-san saying [My Onee-san caused you trouble] and apologized! 

Uuu! I nearly cried at Koneko-chan's noble figure! 

"Koneko-chan, I'm sorry for you having to help with cleaning". 

"It's the opposite, Ise-senpai, I'm sorry for having you accompany me with this". 

I had this kind of conversation with my kouhai. 

Kuroka, it would be better if you learned from Koneko-chan! 

After the cleaning ended to some extent, Elaine-san, finally, turned her fierce attack towards Fenrir, who happened to be present. 

"This one is Fenrir-chan, a member of my team too". 

Le Fay introduced the legendary magic beast???  Fenrir. He's a monster created by the Evil God from Norse side, Loki. He's a feared being by every faction as a Wolf who eats even Gods. 

Vali controlled it and let it by his side. The reason was: that he thought it would be a good negotiation tool when he would fight with the Gods from every mythology system. 

.....Originally it was like this, but now it became a legendary magic beast protecting Le Fay. He is normally monster-sized, but he reduced his size to something like a big dog. Well, even now the aura covering his body is something filled with intensity and his eyes are really sharp too. 

He's an opponent that I don't want to fight against. After all, everyone had a hard fight against his unparalleled brutal claws and fangs...... 

Standing before Fenrir, Elaine-san quietly stared at it and all of a sudden extended her hand towards him. 

"Shake!" 

......This boldness before the legendary monster is amazing! 

Even I can't do it. I mean, he'll definitely bite me......! This guy is way more intelligent than the average human, you know!? 

It's a behaviour that wouldn't be weird for him to attack you for hurting his pride! After all, he's a wolf. 

If you were to treat him the same as a dog, then of course he would become angry! 

Well, Fenrir...... didn't become angry, his expression didn't change too, but he sent a fleeting glance at Le Fay as if waiting for her reaction. 

Probably, he's thinking something like: [What should I do in this situation?] and he wanted a helping hand from Le Fay with whom he's intimate with. 

Le Fay could only bow her head to Fenrir. 

Fenrir turned his face away and reluctantly obeyed, he gave his paw to Elaine-san! 

Ah, that Fenrir who is like a mass of pride, gave his paw! He's giving his paw! It's probably because it's a request of Le Fay who he's intimate with! 

Elaine-san, who received his paw, made a satisfied expression. and as if it weren't already enough, she petted Fenrir's head many times, as she looked like she's a woman who loves dogs. 

"As expected of Le Fay-sama's doggie! He is completely educated! And this attitude like there's no opening, I can even feel relieved if he is to be a watchdog! However, the name Fenrir is a little exaggerated. ......something like John seems to suit him better........." 

"Puh! Ah hahahahahahahaha! John! John is good nyan!" 

Hearing Elaine-san's words, Kuroka started laughing hard while holding her belly. That Wolf Devourer of Gods..... became John..... 

As expected he's pitiful for being called John...... W-well I was enduring my laugh too! 

While laughing with teary eyes, Kuroka patted John's??? Fenrir's head. 

"Well, it would probably be better for you to change your name to John". 

While Kuroka was saying that, Fenrir bit her hand! As expected, he was offended by it. 

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What are you doing, John?!" 

"Gauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" 

Kuroka, who became angry at being bitten and Fenrir, who raised an unusual roar of rage. 

"?" 

The origin of this incident, Elaine-san was only watching with a puzzled expression. 

Ah, this person is overserious, but even I perceived that she's an extreme airhead-san. 

Although, it cannot be helped that she made Kuroka and Fenrir fight like this. 

"Oi, oi, hey!  Kuroka and Fenrir, a guest came here so stay quiet. Or rather, this is my house! If you are going to be a freeloader here, at least act like one from time to time!" 

The one who intervened in their fight was me. ......Well, there were scratches on my face made by Kuroka and bite scars on my hands made by Fenrir. 

Part 3 

Well, from the Vali team the only ones remaining to be introduced are Vali and Bikou, but...... 

They are the most formidable enemies. I mean, because they always move together, we can't predict their moves and other than Arthur, we can't meet them. These two guys get along very well with each other. 

Le Fay tried to open the exclusive communication magic line used by the Vali team, but even so, lately, it seems to be hard to connect it. Kuroka shook her hand, and said while sighing: [If we connect even 1 of 10 times, it's already good]. 

Just in case, Le Fay and Kuroka considered reaching that side with something like an answering machine that sends only the sound one-sidedly, but..... That guy Vali, only shows his face in the combination training when he can have his rare mock battle with the first generation, Son Goku-jiisan. 

However, Bikou too...... if it turns out this way, the conditions will be harder too. 

Because he doesn't know what to do when he meets the First generation jii-san, so he definitely won't show his face to train if he knows that the First generation jii-san is here. 

From Azazel-sensei's talk, they seem to frequently go to Tokyo to eat ramen. 

Those guys really love ramen, but even if I ask about this ramen shop which sells delicious ramen he won't easily reply, I mean, according to Vali???, 

[The taste of someone to ramen is not something that can be understood, after all, it's not a food that can be simply suggested to someone, Hyoudou Issei. Even if we say that Soy ramen is the same, there's an infinite variety of it. If there are those who have sympathy towards the same seasoning since the old times, there are those who are only interested in Soy tonkatsu ramen with grand portions of fatty from a pork's back. Salt? That's the way of thinking of those second-rated, Hyoudou Issei. If you think that, by using salt, you are going to understand the nature of ramen, I have to tell you that this is a thinking pattern that is easily arrived by amateurs. When you perceive that you're wrong in thinking that: light seasoning = friendly relations, you'll know that you need to revise your homework about the ramen industry. In the first place, the current fashion???]. 

And something like this. I didn't even ask a deep question but seeing him talking like a broken radio, I became bewildered and later asked Azazel-sensei about it. 

Ise, don't talk to him about this kind of thing. In the end, he'll narrate the recipe for you.? 

He said something like this! ......For me now, it is difficult to understand one of the interests and preferences of my rival..... 

On my side, who was surrounded by those thoughts about Vali, Elaine-san for some reason took out a scale and started measuring Le Fay's body here and there. 

"I see. Here and here and here too, you grew in those places, it's worth reporting to family head-sama and the madam". 

From her three sizes to the thickness of her thighs, all kinds of places were measured. 

"Wa-wait, Elaine! You don't need measure until there......". 

Receiving the handling of the maid scale, Le Fay became embarrassed? She was wiggling her body. Somehow, I could feel a little lewdness from it! 

After all, it's about Le Fay who left her house because she was worried about her older brother Arthur. Surely, the people of her house are worried. 

I caught sight of her contacting her family once through the magic circle of communication, but I don't think that she returned to her home country. 

I am sure that wanting to report at least the numbers of her growth to her parents is the consideration of the maid??? Elaine-san. ......no, even if they were to hear of her three sizes, they would only be troubled...... 

While I was having this kind of thought, that guy appeared here. 

"Le Fay, so you're here". 

The one who entered the room was Vali! This guy entered my house with extreme familiarity! Well, even if I were to say something like this now, but there's a part of me who isn't used to this guy appearing like this. 

"Ah, Vali-sama!" 

Le Fay confirmed Vali’s appearance and Elaine-san raised one of her eyebrows looking at him. 

".....Le Fay-sama, this person is?" 

"This person is the Hakuryuukou, Vali Lucifer-sama" 

Le Fay introduced him and Elaine-san stood right in front of Vali and stared fixedly at him. 

"......You're the Hakuryuukou". 

Seeing the maid standing before him, Vali looked a little interested. 

"Heh, you're clad in a good atmosphere. I suppose you are quite the master". 

"...... You're the one who took Arthur-sama and Le Fay-sama along......". 

They showed a look like they perceived something about each other. 

"..............." 

"..............." 

The two of them were gazing at each other. To stop this atmosphere which was becoming a little tense, I changed the flow of the talk asking. 

"M-More importantly, Vali! You came looking for Le Fay, something happened?" 

Vali sighed and pulled himself together and said. 

"Yes, somehow, Arthur's behaviour was a little weird, but...... Well, somehow, I think I understood the reason for why. If someone from his home town were to come to visit here, it's not strange even if he's a little different". 

"Vali-sama, what about Onii-sama and the others......?" 

Le Fay asked, She probably wanted to know about Arthur and Bikou who weren’t here. 

Vali shook his head. 

"A little before, we met with the members of the Slash Dog team, you see. Bikou that guy, the moment he met with the [Cat] user and the [Hawk] user, they started quarrelling. ......well, they were originally noisy saying things like:?Lucidra, Lucidra?......" 

Heh, the appearance of Vali frowning is something rare. Slash Dog??? The team lead by Ikuse Tobio-san who works behind-the-scenes of ?D×D?, they seem to have a little of a connection with Vali. Azazel-sensei said some time ago. 

......By the way, what is a Lucidra? Does it refer to Vali.....? Hmm, I don't understand! 

Talking about him, Bikou appeared in the room in the underground. 

".....Sigh, finally. When I met the rumoured Slash Dog team and we faced each other, they started calling me a monkey. I mean, I'm a monkey Youkai, but there are other ways to say it. I mean, that side has a cat, hawk and dog users!" 

......He is full of complaints. While pouting he spewed venom without restraint. .....What happened between you and the members of Ikuse-san’s team? 

Le Fay introduced the irritated Bikou to Elaine-san. 

"Ah, this person is Bikou-san". 

The moment she saw Bikou’s face, an honest impression flew out of Elaine-san's mouth. 

"Oh, dear! What a crude expression!" 

As soon as she said this, Elaine-san sealed her mouth with her hand after saying: [Ah! I'm sorry]. 

Ara ara, I thought she was a natural airhead, but to think she would display it here! 

After a little moment of silence, I and Kuroka burst into laughter! 

Well, ?What a crude expression?! I mean, that's an amazing impression! 

Certainly, he's the member with the roughest face inside the Vali team, but! To be called crude! 

Hearing this, Bikou's face became bright red and he became furious. 

"What the hell!? Today I was called crude or monkey in the first meeting, today is the day to be extremely rude!?". 

"Well, you are a crude monkey, after all". 

To Kuroka's words, even Fenrir nodded his head in affirmation. 

"What the hell!? Even you guys!? Dammit, I'm angry now! For the time being, I'm going to let you go on your ramen pilgrimage alone, Valiiii!!" 

Surpassing rage, Bikou became teary-eyed and flew out of this place. 

While giving a bitter smile, Le Fay said to Elaine-san. 

"W-well, with this we ended the introduction of the members of the team of who I'm affiliated with. Later, I'll summon Gog-kun and introduce you to him". 

Hearing Le Fay say like this, Elaine-san nodded. 

"Yes. Somehow, I'm really relieved that they aren't like I heard from the rumours". 

Elaine-san was probably concerned that the members of the Vali Team would somehow be a bad influence to Le Fay. 

Probably, the people of Pendragon household thought the same. 

Because she is a member of the Hakuryuukou team who are former terrorists, it wouldn't be a weird history if she were disowned. And yet, even now, they are worried about their daughter, who is still a member of this team from the bottom of their hearts. 

Looking at the habitual face of Vali and his team members, Elaine-san became relieved. 

Well, although, when we first met, Vali, Bikou, Kuroka, Arthur and Fenrir were covered in an evil atmosphere! 

As we continued to meet, this side of them became quiet and inconspicuous. 

Who influenced them to change like this? Was it Azazel-sensei's influence? Or because the circumstances changed, they had a change of heart? .....There are those who say that is because of the influence of my ?Oppai Dragon?...... 

"..... I see, so I'll have to go alone to the ramen shop. Well, sometimes this is not a bad thing". 

Looking from the back, Vali looked a little lonely. 

".....If you are alright with me, I can accompany you, you know?" 

Vali shook his head at my proposal. 

"Fu, even my rival is being considerate with me. Don't worry, there's still instant noodles". 

......Only unhealthy food. A stoic lifestyle births strength? No, I think that food that is good to the body is important too. 

Seeing Vali like this, I combined all the main causes for this and started thinking that the reason for all this is in the Vali team. 

A few days flew by since Elaine-san started her stay in Kuou Town. 

Le Fay, who was called by her brother in the living room, under the gaze of everyone, received a present from him. 

"Le Fay, this is a present for you". 

Arthur gave a big wrapped box to his little sister. 

"For me?" 

Le Fay received it and asked her brother, seeing him nod, she opened the box. Spreading the contents inside it??? it was a Kuou Academy school uniform! 

"Uah!" 

With a shining expression, Le Fay took the female uniform in her hands and suddenly started happily spinning. It's the first time I see Le Fay cheerfully like this. 

"Onii-sama, this is!?" 

Arthur smiled at Le Fay's question. 

"Yes, It's probably a little too early, but...... because as it's Le Fay, you probably can easily break through the tests. That's why I arranged it previously so that you can hold it with the meaning of making a prayer". 

Heh, this Arthur, he already arranged Le Fay's uniform! Although he's a hasty older brother, to present this school uniform to his little sister was a tasteful thing to do! 

"You did well knowing her size. But, how?" 

Rias asked this. 

Certainly, although he is her brother, as a man, Arthur knowing the size of his little sister, is a bit of a complicated thing. 

While raising his glasses, Arthur looked in Elaine-san's direction. 

"......Because there was someone who took her measures. I only reported the details of the measurement that this person took, to a shop. Of course, it was paid with my pocket money". 

"I did at least this much. After all, it was a request of Arthur-sama......". 

Elaine-san bowed. 

It's the first time they exchanged smiles. 

............... 

Seeing their appearance, I sensed something. Or rather, so it’s like this. A few days ago, the thing that the women living in this house perceived is this. 

I became curious, so I decided to ask Le Fay. 

"......Hey, Le Fay. About Arthur and Elaine-san......". 

Le Fay smiled while watching over them. 

"......Yes, they are in a relationship that they understand each other's feelings". 

! 

.........As expected, so it's like that. Le Fay continued. 

"But, because it's a love between her and Onii-sama who have different social positions, even if they feel the same way about each other, the Pendragon household...... Onii-sama is under the situation of being very popular with formal marriage interviews, but women other than Elaine......" 

Le Fay murmured like this. 

However, if the current family head were to perceive these hidden feelings, it's evident that Elaine-san would be banished from the Pendragon household. 

However, if Arthur were to remain in his house, then their relationship would be exposed someday. ..... Making his mind, Arthur took the Holy King Sword together with his old dream of becoming the strongest he could be with it and ran away from the Pendragon household. 

..... I see, other than just having the ambition of becoming stronger, there were these kinds of circumstances to Arthur running from home too...... 

What is this, dammit! He is gradually becoming an opponent that I can't hate! Above being a good older brother, he took action because he didn't want to betray the person he loves! 

However, is he fleeing from the orientation of his house too?  .....Maybe being born a noble means being toyed by destiny like this. 

However! Something like the love between people of different status, someday, they'll definitely overcome it! Even I! Because even someone like me became lovers with Rias! 

Le Fay said smiling sweetly. 

"It's alright. If it's my older brother, then he'll definitely find a way to be together with Elaine. After all, It don’t look like he just recklessly left our house". 

.....Arthur probably thought about something. That's right, he's probably much more intelligent than me. Then, he'll absolutely break down this situation, to be together with Elaine-san! 

Dammit! 

Now I can't think about Arthur like a stranger anymore! I too will be cheering for Arthur and Elaine-san’s relationship from the shadows! 

I couldn't help but think so. 

After Arthur safely gave his present to his sister, the time for Elaine-san who was watching it, to go back to her country, finally came. 

"Then, everyone. It was a short time, but I've been under your care. Please, continue taking good care of Le Fay-sama and Arthur-sama from now on too". 

Elaine-san deeply bowed her head. Everyone from the house too gave their respective final greetings. 

At the last moment, I became curious about something, So I decided to ask Elaine-can indirectly. 

"......S-say, I'm eligible as the contracted partner of Le Fay?" 

Elaine-san put her hand on her chin and said with a severe expression. 

"During my stay, you let me see various things but.....  I think you're a gentleman terribly honest with your desires". 

..................This is harsh! 

Certainly, I probably showed my perverted side! I even became entranced with Kuroka's panties! When Le Fay had her sizes measured I looked at her with lewd eyes too! Furthermore, I have in mind many other situations like this! 

But, at the moment I unconsciously started to reflect about this, Elaine-san gave a broad smile and continued her evaluation. 

"???However, I felt that you are a gentle person who can be considerate too. You helped clean the room of a person who lives together, I even became admired when you mediated between the fight of your acquaintances. I'll give you the passing mark". 

! 

......So she was looking at these parts of me. As expected, she got me. To think she would see this and that so precisely. 

Elaine-san bowed once again. 

"From now on too, please take good care of Le Fay-sama. Depending on your evaluation from now on, I think that Le Fay-sama and Arthur-sama may be recognized by the Pendragon household......" 

While reaching out with my hand, I responded straight away. 

"Yes, of course! I'll do my best". 

Me and Elaine-san exchanged handshakes. 

In this way, the maid-san of the Pendragon household who suddenly came to visit, left. 

I only learned a little about the siblings of the Pendragon household, Le Fay and Arthur, but I think of it as a big harvest!
