Chapter 100 - Dinner with Gremory, Rias meeting Mio
"Konan, do you know, how many tailed beasts the Akatsuki currently had collected?" Finn's task of finding and getting tailed beasts chakra would be be very easy. He only needed the information.
"The Akatsuki had captured the 2 and 3 tailed beasts using the 3rd great ninja war as our advantage."
.
Finn nodded and began to think. Since 2nd and 3rd tailed beast was devoured the gedo statue then it would be hard to get those two tailed beast out.
"I think Madara or black Zetsu must have changed the headquarter location. The gedo statue is located in the headquarter." Finn nodded, he also had expected this. 'For now let's collect other 7 tailed beasts chakra.'
.
[Master words has triggered a mission.
[~New Mission have been Issued. Help Kaguya get her powers back.
→ Get chakra from 9 tailed beasts
→ Time limit:- None
→Penalty: - Kaguya will be a ordinary mortal until she gets her powers back.
→Reward: - ???]
.
'How long it's been since the last time I received any missions?' Finn felt little happy.
[About 4 weeks I guess. Master I have to let you know that missions are not thing I decide. The rewards and the penalty even the time limit is decided according to what Master is doing, thinking, or according to the situation Master is in.] Finn nodded in understanding.
.
While talking with everyone, Kaguya come out and Finn went to take a bath since the whole day he didn't got time for bath.
Before bathing, Finn left a clone of himself to help Kaguya. Finn also told her that, "I have a important meeting. I will be back in an hour. Then we will have dinner together."
After bathing, Finn put some new and stylish clothes then went to Gremory house to join them for dinner.
.
Itsuki planned on eating less with Gremory and would excuse himself after some time. Then Itsuki would join Kaguya others and eat with them.
'I hope everything goes according to the plan.' The Miad lead Finn to the dinning table where Rias, Sona, Akeno, Koneko, Kiba, Tsubaki, Tsubasa, Reya, Grayfia, Sirzechs and two new faces. One had red hair and another had black hair.
.
"Finn, this my father and head of Gremory Family Zeoticus Gremory and this is my mother Venelana Gremory." Sirzechs personally introduced his parents.
"Hello! My name is Finn Kagami. Thank you for having me." Finn lowered his head when he introduced himself. Finn's politeness made both Rias Father Zeoticus and Rias mother Venelana like him and consider Finn was future potential son in law something Finn was currently unaware of.
.
Zeoticus has the appearance of a middle-aged, handsome looking man with long crimson hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He has bright blue eyes just like his two children, Sirzechs and Rias Gremory. He also has a short and red beard or stubble.
Venelana looks very much like her daughter with shorter flaxen hair and violet eyes much like the natural born members of the Bael Clan in the anime. Due to her devil lineage, she appears around the same age as her daughter and her son who appears to be in his early to mid twenties.
.
Finn sat next to Rias. Seeing Finn sit next to her Rias snorted and didn't even look at Finn. Finn ignored Rias as well and calmly sat down.
"Lord Sirzechs, where is Mio?" Hearing Finn's words Rias looked at Finn in different emotions. After all Mio was Rias another childhood best friend. Mio often used to come here to play with Rias. But after the death of Mio's parents, the whole Gremory tried to find Mio but they couldn't.
.
To this day, Rias misses for best friend very much. Finn noticed that not only Risa even Sona, Akeno, Tsubaki, Kiba, Tsubasa, Reya, Koneko everyone showed some sad expression. Sona and Rias peerage had been with Mio. Everyone in the peerage even Sona herself considered Mio as their best friend.
"Mio just have woken up. She should be coming." Grayfia had instructed a maid to look after Mio and inform her when she wakes up.
.
Few seconds later, near the quiet dining table, everyone heard few footsteps. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a extremely beautiful red haired girl similar to RIas, walking.
Seeing her Rias stood up, the girl raised her head, when she saw Rias, the girl couldn't suppress her tears anymore. Both girls hugged each other, Mio started to cry while hugging Rias.
.
Mio POV
'That boy has brought me to Gremory household. Now what will happen to me? Will the Gremory household sell me and betray me just like others? Will brother Sirzechs will also abandon me to establish connection with the current Demon king?" Because of these question and her insecurities Mio never found courage to come to meet Rias or Sona.
.
Mio slowly walked towards the dining table. Mio is very familiar with this house as she used to come here every month.
Each step felt like heavy as a mountain, Mio felt her body was stiff. She didn't wanted to be betrayed once again. Just the thought of getting betrayed made her feel very uncomfortable and sad.
.
Finally what seems like hours, Mio entered and saw Rias looking at her. Seeing Rias and Sona, Mio just couldn't hold back her tears. These past year, no matter what she had to go through, Mio never cried but now that she was in front of her best friend, she just couldn't hold back her tears. Rias run to hug Mio followed by Sona, Akeno, Koneko and all the members of Rias and Sona's peerage.
.
Seeing this scene, Finn smiled and continued to watch the scene with interest. But Finn has to admit Mio is really beautiful. Grayfia and Venelana felt little emotional, they had loved Mio and deeply cared about her. Mio just like their 2nd princess to them. Zeoticus and Sirzechs had a angry look. Both father and son had great relationship with Mio's father, but now seeing how much their friend's daughter has suffered made them very angry.
.
A gremory never betrays their ally. Gremory is known for their love and kindness to their peerage and their allies. Sirzechs has been waiting for an year. He was ready to attack the Demon King once Mio has been found and secured. Sirzechs will never let the Demon faction go with this, he already had made up his mind. Mio was little sister and anyone who dares to harm my sister shall pay.
.
Rias, Sona and others shed some tears with Mio but then soon helped Mio to calm down. Finn saw that Rias was about to let Mio sit next to her so he stood up and moved to the next seat. After Mio sat down, others also sat down.
.
Seeing that their invited guest Finn was been waiting and had not eaten anything yet, because of the Mio and others, Sirzechs felt little embarrassed.
Zeoticus and Sirzechs looked at each other. "Everyone let's eat before the food gets cold." Zeoticus said as the maids came to serve steak. Mio and Rias didn't had the mood to eat but both red haired girl felt very hungry. One was hungry from hell training and another had not eaten any proper food for days.
.
"Finn, thank you for saving Mio and also training Rias." Zeoticus was grateful to Finn for what he has done for his family. Hearing Finn's name Mio stopped eating and looked at the boy who bought her here in the first place. Mio also heard the snorting sound of Rias when Rias father thanked Finn.
"Uncle you don't have to thank me." Finn looked at Zeoticus and politely said.
.
"Never thought this rogue would know how to properly behave in dining table." Rias murmur was clearly heard by Akeno and Mio. Mio looked at Akeno for some explanation, to which Akeno nodded and said later. Mio also noticed that Akeno, Koneko, Kiba all had a look of exhaustion. Mio felt curious and wanted to ask what happened to them.
.
Finn also heard Rias murmuring words with his high sensing ability. Finn decided to increase the difficulty of Rias training from tomorrow onwards. Finn looked at Rias and a devilish grin appeared on her face. Rias felt something so she looked up and saw Finn grinning at her which made her shiver in fear.
Finn quickly finished what was served and stood up.
.
"Uncle, I have some urgent work to do. Please continue your dinner. I will came back after you have finished your dinner." After saying that Rias teleported in front of everyone, leaving everyone with different reactions.
"How did he teleport without using teleportation magic?" Zeoticus asked but he didn't got any answer.
