DXD : Ray Gremory

"I see petting runs in the family, fufu. Don't worry Ray, I will only let her do it, so be relieved knowing your petting pleasure will not

be taken, plus with 9 tails, the two of you together don't have enough hands."

I rolled my eyes at her trying to embarrass me, but finally, the two groups of men and women split for the day.

My birthday itself is secondary and not really important, next to the wedding. Today and tomorrow, a few Gremory family guests will come for my and Kuisha's big day.

Down in the hotel bar, three redheads watched the Humans outside walk past in the streets. My father is wearing a white suit, and my Brother a black suit.

While the three of us drank some warm sake, my Dad playfully asked the ever awkward question.

"My Son Ray, how was your first night, ha-ha. Did you face any difficulties?"

I gave my Dad a glare and told the truth.

"My night was so incredible, I even prayed to God. "

Both my Dad and Brother saw my face of defeat, then looked at one another, and busted out in laughter at my statement.

Sirzechs with brotherly care then asked.

"Ray, lately in Kuoh Town, have you noticed any abnormalities? I have heard of some movement, and I need to know if you are safe there?"

I switch to my serious side and tell him part of what I do know and guess.

"The past two months, I have noticed a few Strays go missing. So they fled my Territory, or.

Someone is eliminating them. "

"Ray, be careful who you start a fight with in Kuoh. It may be our Devil Territory, but other factions like the Church and the Fallen Angels cannot be openly attacked without provocative moves on you first.

So do not make the first move, or we could start another war. Call for me if things look dangerous, alright?"

I think about how events I find increasingly harder to recall went. Issei won't be targeted by Raynare or rather Yuuma Amano now, I think.

And I believe that Stray Exorcist Freed Sellzen and Valper Galilei, won't make a move till the Fallen Leader Kokabiel comes? But. .

. I have even changed Irina, so who knows if the Fallen will even come to Kuoh? I tell my Father and Brother.

"I will not go looking for trouble with them, but if they target my Peerage or clients, I won't let them off. As for danger I cannot handle, I will call you."

[Why is my best friend talking in such a gloomy tone? You are getting married tomorrow, so you should be happy, right?]

My Father, Brother and I turn to find the voice I know, and see that Lord Sitri, and his Daughters, Sona and the Devil King Leviathan had come into the bar. Before I could greet, Sona bowed to my Brother and said,

" The Sitri give their greetings to Devil King Lucifer, it is good to see you again. "

All three of us stood to greet their group of three, my Father went to Lord Sitri, while my brother went to Serafall, and I greeted Sona. I said to her,

"Hello Sona, thanks for coming to my wedding, I."

She put her finger on my lips and said.

"I would be the worst best friend in the Underworld if I did not come to support you on the big day, but for now, I am here to celebrate your 18th birthday, so here. "

Sona handed me a delicately wrapped box the size of a cigar box, and it was wrapped in her royal blue wrapping, with a crimson bow on it. I smile at her and tell her.

"You're the best Sona, thanks for thinking of me. "

Sona and I missed the look of our siblings and parents, watching our interactions.

Sona handed me a delicately wrapped box the size of a cigar box, and it was wrapped in her royal blue wrapping, with a crimson bow on it. I smile at her and tell her.

"You're the best Sona, thanks for thinking of me. "

Just as Sona and I were having a warm moment, a deep voice I recognized was heard.

[I greet you Devil Kings Lucifer and Leviathan. Hello Ray and Sona, am I late?]

I and Sona turn to see our oversized friend, and my cousin, Sairaorg Bael. He was also with Gasper, Saji, and Mil-tan.

So I warmly greet this powerful Devil.

"So, you finally made time for me with your busy schedule or getting strong, taking back your next Heir position, and looking for Peerage?"

He smacked my back, almost lifting me off of my feet. Yeah, he is a bit rough with me because I am as resilient as an Ultimate Class Devil in toughness.

I am still growing my body to match my Demonic Power after-all. But my body is pretty robust, and equivalent to Sairaorg at his peak without his Lion Balance Breaker form.

I cannot remember his Lion's name though, that was fuzzy.

"What kind of family would I be to not be here for the new Mrs Gremory joining your side? I can skip a few days of training for this, right? Hello Sona, you are looking lovely in that blue dress. Whenever I see Ray, you are always in his shadow, are you a stalker? Ha ha, I am just kidding."

Sona pushed up her glasses and said with a slight smile.

"Nice to see you again, Sairaorg. And it only makes sense for the two of us to be close, our families are ally's after-all, and we have been thick as thieves growing up."

I smile at the three tag-alongs and say.

"Gasper, so you came, and hello Mil-tan and Saji, good afternoon. "

Gasper, looking like a shy girl, held his hands in front of him, and he was wearing a woman's navy-blue kimono, sigh.

"Hello Ray. Sona said her Queen had to be at her side, so I got to skip school.

My Familiar bat is taking my place. Oh, and happy birthday and congratulations on you and Kuisha's wedding.
