Coconuts.

Hope turned behind, just to see the devilishly smiling Red walking out of his Portal, although there was something very critically special this time, 'Why is Red dressed in Hawaiian clothes?' thought Hope.

[quatz- well, looks like your Servant is really enjoying his Vacation.]

As Red stepped inside, he also brought a large net-bag filled with dozens of Coconuts in his hand, "Hope, wanna have some coconut water? I have brought this fresh from Hawaii." said the Nonchalant Red as he placed the bag aside in the room.

Hope was confused so he asked, "When did you go to Hawaii?" Hope didn't care if Red went to some place to enjoy, afterall he's out of duty, but going there and returning so soon? not fair.

Red ignored Hope's question for later and looked at the people standing who are behind Hope with a frown on his face, "why are you people here? and that to unannounced." asked Red, he didn't wanted his Young Master's good time to be wasted by such Faction minded people, since Hope is a free-willed person after all.

Sirzechs forced a smile on his face to this question as he instantly recognized this person, "ha-ha-ha, now now, don't be hostile Great Red, I'm just here to meet my cute sister, regarding some matters." he explained Great Red with an quick but clever reply.

But, Serafall had some doubts aroused from this behavior of Great Red, since it was as if 'he's protecting someone', Serafall can understand this attitude as she herself acts on a whim sometimes, just like him.

Hope gestured at Red to calm down, "Great Red, they're just here for Issei's matter and about me scolding Rias yesterday, so don't worry about it." said Hope as he pulled the bag of coconuts to himself.

Hope also called the Katana which was in his room, Via his skill: 'Rulers Authority'. Afterall he can't be taking his Katana on a morning workout, and he also even can't store it inside his Spacial Storage.

"Let's talk while having some fresh Coconuts." said Hope as he sat on the couch, near the sleeping Asia's thighs. The Katana came flying to him and he instinctively caught it in his hands.

Looking at the calm situation, both the Maous also took a seat on another couch to the side, "Michael and Azazel are also on the way here." informed Sirzechs.

"Oh." Hope was not surprised by this fact, since these trio Factions always acted together after signing the peace treaty.

Hope started peeling off the hard skin of Coconuts with his Katana, Seeing this Red spoke up, "Hope, I can do this in an instant, if you want." he didn't wanted to see his Young Master doing such effortless tasks in his presence.

Hope glanced at Red and continued peeling off the skin on the coconuts, "It's my training, Great Red." said Hope, it was really the part of his training because his Katana now cuts off anything like a butter without resistance.-

-and due to this, Hope also gets scared of using it on living people since it'll easily kill them in one chop even if he doesn't wants to, so to get a proper hold on his Katana, he's doing such jobs, such as chopping vegetables and fruits by using his Katana and without slicing the chopping block of course.

"Here." Hope passed on the Coconut to his side to whoever wants it.

"Thank you."

[Hope- this is a new voice.

quatz- and a strong one too, I feel innate destruction aura from him, like this Mamma's boy has in him and also his sister, though this new guy's is superior.

Hope- you do explain precisely at such occurrences.

quatz- it's my natural duty to be cautious for my Partner.

Hope- I'm touched, quatz..

quatz- Hmph.]

Hope Curiously turned his head to his side and saw an very young boy in his early teens sitting to his side, the boy had green and black hairs which looked more bluish, his eyes had some sort of sharpness to it, showing superiority in them.

The sincere looking boy was silently sipping to his Coconut through a straw.

"when did you come here? and who are you?" asked Hope, curiously.

The boy intently glanced at Hope while still sipping on his Coconut, "haah.. this is good, I don't get these stuff on Kailash.." murmured the kid.

"I'll be going to get fresh.." said Xenovia while walking away from the room as this stuff was going over head.

Irina also followed him, "I'm also coming! I don't want to look shabby infront of Michael Sama!"

Akeno took the carry bag which Hope had brought with him, She looked inside it and a smile textured on her face, "Ara Ara.. junk food? do you don't like my homemade?" teased Akeno.

"Here." Hope passed on the Coconut to Serafall and looked at Akeno to answer her, "ah. those? they are for Ultear, I wanted to introduce snacks to her, and y'all can have it too. afterall I bought many of them." said Hope.

....

"Mm!! this so fresh!" Serafall exclaimed like a Kid and looked at Great Red, "Red-Tan! where did you get this?!" she cheerfully asked him.

"Oh, this?" Red didn't mind Serafall for some reason, it seemed too natural, "I met a rich guy in Hawaii and he had many Coconut trees in his bungalow yard, so I asked him some for me." replied the nonchalant Great Red.

....

Akeno nodded to Hope's response, "Oh.. you want to make us fat, huh~?" she teased him even further.

Ultear sneaked behind Akeno and pinched her both cheeks simultaneously, "Akeno San, let's get fresh, okay~?" she said with a smile, "we have to prepare breakfast too."

"hehehe... okay, let's also pick these two sleeping beauties from here." replied Akeno and handed over the carry bag to Ultear.

Akeno picked both Asia and Koneko on her shoulder and looked at Rias, "Rias, let's get fresh before others also come here." stated Akeno.

Representing themselves as untidy infront of such important people will be bad for their King's reputations, after all they're from Gremory heiress's Peerage.

"hm." Rias nodded and walked away with them.

'I'm being ignored again...' thought Sirzechs while silently sipping on his Coconut.

Red sitting on the single person Couch, looked at the smiling young Boy besides his Young Master, "So, why might be the God Shiva himself be here?" said Red with a mocking smile on his face.

"Huh? who's Shiva?" the young boy denied to Red's words in his child-like voice, "I'm just a lost kid, who found this place very interesting." replied the kid.

Hope patted on the boy's head, "I know.. who you are, and I don't mind it but don't mock Great Red, okay?" stated Hope in a polite manner.

Since Making Great Red furious is like inviting a undestroyable huge meteor, straight over your head.

[quatz- are you aiming for kids?? well this kid has Divinity to him, so he's one of the regional Gods in this world, I guess.

Hope- hm. Red also confirmed it a while ago.

quatz- you trust Red more than me??!

Hope- no no no.. it's just that Red is always serious about such matters.

quatz- SO AM I!!

Hope- Oh-ho-ho-ho, is the Dragon of Destruction getting jealous≈?

quatz- No! I'm not! fk you!]

[By the way, Host has learnt the Innate skill:⟨Photographic Memory⟩.]

[Hope- Good, now I don't have to worry about my exams.

quatz- Tch... cheater, that's all you'll think about.]

As Hope was dozing off at the moment, The young boy stared at his Katana, the Katana for sure looked like Ruler's, since the Golden imprints on the Black Blade looked Divine, what he felt threatening was the stripped White edge on the Katana, since the edge seemed as if a ‹Hollow› which would suck anything inside it.

A Magic Circle appeared on the floor through which Azazel popped out, "hm.. The Maous are here already, seems like Sirzechs, you were too worried for you sister." mocked Azazel in his Jovial self as he slowly shifted his attention at the Hawaiian Great Red who's looking at him with a grin.

"Hello." greeted Red.

"I want more." said the young boy while looking at Hope, and Hope within a second passed on to him a new Coconut.

"This one also got Coconut butter in it." stated Hope, to which the boy nodded to him with a delightful smile.

The spooked Azazel slightly bowed to Great Red whilst rubbing the back of his head, "Hello..." he greeted back as he took the seat on the other single person Couch.

Now all the seats on couches were filled, with Hope and young boy sharing one, the two Noble Maous Sharing one, and the both single person couches occupied by the respective Great Red and Azazel.

"Probably, we should move onto the Meeting room on the Sixth floor here." suggested Sirzechs, since Michael was not here and also the other residents might gather together for the discussion.

[quatz- Mamma's boy is right.. didn't expect him to have this much brain.

Hope- quatz, he's a Maou which means ruler of the Underworld, so give some respect to the Mamma's boy.

quatz- eh?! you even expect such things for me?

Hope- Sorry, my bad.

quatz- good.]

Red acknowledged Sirzechs's suggestion and made a Portal connecting to the Sixth floor of this Mansion, "Please y'all enter, this place is not proficient to hold a meeting." said Great Red while gesturing to enter inside the Portal.

And all the people without hesitation walked through the Portal, 'Didn't expect Great Red to be this Wise, but why was Azazel freaked out yesterday?' thought Sirzechs while entering the Portal.

After this, the respective Faction leaders and the other people also took the seat on the chairs of wide meeting table inside the Ancient and Majestically designed Meeting Hall on the Sixth floor.

In some 15 minutes, Michael also appeared in the meeting room through a magic circle, "As always, I'm still late, even Serafall is faster this time than me." Michael expressed his sorrows as if this was a game for him.

Michael took a seat on the Meeting table and also noticed some new faces, such as the young boy and red haired guy, "Hope, who are they?" asked Michael, Curiously.

Hope nodded and pointed at Red first, "This is Great Red in his Humanoid form." introducing him, he next pointed out at the boy, "and this is Probably the Hindu God, Shiva." stated Hope.

"Oh..." Michael was dazed.

Azazel who was sitting besides him, patted his back with a down-casted face, "I can understand, cry your heart out, since our World is soon gonna get destroyed." Azazel tried to Pacify Michael's shock.

[quatz- Oh.. this person has the power to predict the future! if only he was a girl! shehh, such a waste.

Hope- ....?]

All the people in the meeting Hall were silently waiting for someone to Break this silence.

And at last after some more 10 minutes, "Nii-Sama! now explain for why you are here!" exclaimed Rias while entering the meeting Hall with her peerage and Ultear.

Ultear casually walked out to Hope and stood behind his Chair.

And Irina also walked out to Michael to represent him, since she is an Angel and also Michael's Ace Brave Saint.

Akeno looking at this was jealous of Ultear, since she can't do things like this in the presence of great Factions leaders, because she's currently representing Rias's peerage.

Hope knew very well what Akeno is feeling by observing her expression, but he can't help it and Akeno also knows this.

Michael smiled at the impulsive behavior of Rias, for him she's the savior of today's meeting since she has broken the silence, "We are here to talk about the situation of Sekiryuutie boy and also about, G..Great Red." though the second reason was the main, but they were cloaking it with the first, since Great Red himself is present here at the moment.

Hope observed Rias as she glanced back at him, he noticed that she was not showing any sort of dejected behavior now, and is mostly back to being herself, "good." mumbled Hope to praise her recovery speed.

Though it was the medicine which Hope gave to Rias, which worked perfectly even if it was bitter.

"hm. let's bring the main guest then, probably he's feeling ashamed now and that too for no reason." stated Hope, Issei had probably not shown up till now since he was also feeling miserable for his sudden change, but it's also not his fault.

And Kiba being Issei's Boyfriend is now with him to support in his sorrows, rather than attending here as Rias's Peerage.

Hope looked at Red with meaningful eyes, "I'll bring them, or you can say drag them here." replied Red even before his Young Master asked him for this.

Others were not surprised by this, since anyone would get intimidated by Great Red and will agree to follow his orders, so he's the best choice here.

"Hm." Nodded Hope.

Great Red without wasting further time, created an Portal and walked inside of it.
