Chapter Ten: Tarantula Bride

Feeling that his tarantula avatar chose Kuroka as its host Haoyu began to worry a little. If she became his devil bride then she will probably not join team Vali which may weaken it. As he is lost in his thoughts a voice awake him.

Kuroka: So you mean if I become this devil bride thing I can stay by his side forever nya.

Avrora: That is right a bride's life span is tied to his so for as long he lives they will as well.

Getting her answer Kuroka face blossoms into a radiant smile. In all honesty she was already interested in him when they first met. Now after he save her mother Kuroka's feelings went from intrigued to love. Hearing that she will be able to stay be his side made her heart soar. Her desire clear she spoke her mind.

Kuroka: I want to be your devil bride.

Receiving her consent Haoyu felt it would be rude to continue to be hesitant so he nodded.

Haoyu: Alright since everyone is in agreement how about we move on to making her my devil bride.

Done talking Haoyu made his way to be infront of Kuroka while remembering the refining method. If memory serves him correctly he will first need to use his nine Yin devil flame. Following the method he went to work. Everyone watched as Kuroka's body was being bathed in white flames. Second later Kuroka's face became flushed as she tried to stifle her moans. In her entire life Kuroka never felt something this good before. Finally Haoyu sent a piece of his avatar into her body. When it enters the tarantula avatar quickly meld with her body and soul making her feel power lime never before. Once he was done Haoyu took a step back to observe. Kuroka's eye that were closed open as she suddenly disappeared.

Shock come over the face s of everyone except Avrora and Haoyu who understood what happened. The Netherworldly tarantula has two distinctive abilities one is being able to create powerful poison. The other is the power to control space which Kuroka just demonstrated. About 30 seconds later she reappeared with a playful smile on her amused face. Standing there with a book in her hand Kuroka's eyes looked with Shirone's. Confused Shirone tilted her head to the side. Picking up on her little sister's confusion Kuroka showed the front of the book to everyone. The cover was monochrome with a kitten's small paw print. Seeing that little Shirone's eyes widen into round saucers. Quickly she rushed her sister for the book which is actually Shirone's diary.

Avrora:Looks like she has really taken to the powers of your tarantula avatar quite well.

As the other girls watched over Kuroka they could not help but feel both jealous and happy for her. They were happy for her because it is obvious what her feelings for Haoyu so being his devil bride was a boon. Still they could not help but feel a little jealous. She now has a bond with him they did not which is a little concerning. Avrora of course notice their worry so she lead the girls off to the side. After the events in the hospital everyone returned to Gremory mansion with the ladies leaving Haoyu again. This time however it was not just him but also Lord Gremory and Sirzechs.

Sirzechs: How do you like the Gremory residence so far has my sister in law taken take of you.

Haoyu: Yes Grayfia has treated me very well. Actually earlier I wanted to test my new familiar so she arranged me an opponent.

Grayfia: That is correct Lord Lucifer I arranged for the young master to spar with Souji.

Sirzechs's face was completely covered in surprise due to the fact that Grayfia did something without reporting it first. Until today even though she is his sister-in-law Grayfia has always acted like a maid. According to his wife this is because their mother was originally a maid in service of the Lucifuge household. Later their father courted her and eventually married her ,but she still remained as a maid. While she raised her daughters to be proper ladies Grayfia would often ask about being a maid. Time went on with Grayfia's admiration growing to the point she wanted to be a maid herself.

Finally her wish came true when her sister and Sirzechs fell in love during the devil Civil War. After the war was over the two to got married, while she became a maid in service of the Gremory family. Since then she has never done anything a proper maid would not. Normally they would have to give her a day off to get her to act like a part of the family. So you can image Sirzechs's surprise when she used a member of his peerage without first asking permission. On the inside Sirzechs began looking forward to the future of this kid. A kid who could move both his discerning little sister and his overly serious sister-in-law must be really impressive. As Sirzechs, Lord Gremory and Haoyu continued to converse there was a knock at the door of the parlor. When Grayfia opened the door from the other side Rias and the others returned. After a delicious dinner everything went to go to sleep. Of course the girls all piled jnto Haoyu's room with the excuse that they wanted to talk.

This trend went on for the next month until Haoyu's father brought him on a trip to somewhere in the underworld. The place they went to was a massive research facility. On the outside was a sign that read Grigori Research Facility. After reading those words Haoyu just stared blankly. Seeing his son's confusion Qin Chao spoke up.

Qin Chao: This here is a research facility ran by the fallen angels of the bible. Their governor is the man who helped with the creation of your sacred gear. I brought you here to met him and someone he keeps saying he wants you to meet.

Haoyu instantly became internally excited because he could already guess who his father is talking about. Azazel in DxD served a mentor role for Issei and a father role for Vali. So it is hardly an exaggeration when someone says that he basically carries the plot. Before Haoyu deaded Azazel was still seal away to kill Trihexa. Now however he is not only free but will be stand in front of Haoyu. As an added bonus Vali and team slash dog will be there too.

Entering the facility they were greeted by two men. One is their old the robust Baraqiel and the other is someone Haoyu would prefer did not exist. Stand there with a smile so fake it became disgusting was Kokabiel. With him was of course his lackeys that he would send to Kuoh town. Seeing Kokabiel's attitude and sense it's master's annoyance Yin yang evil king sword sprung into action. Before anyone could say anything the sword flew from Haoyu's body piercing Kokabiel's shoulder against a wall. Realizing what happened Raynare took a combative stance with the others following her lead. Haoyu watched their action and could not stop himself from laughing. Everyone was confused by his actions so Qin Chao took it upon himself to explain.

Qin Chao: I must apologize for my son's rude actions but first let me tell you that you're insulting Sir Kokabiel. You see from a young age I have taught my son that only weakling need use the ganging up tactic. So in his eyes Kokabiel acted arrogantly even though he is weak which caused him to laugh.

Qin Chao's words served to royally piss Kokabiel off especially the part about him being an arrogant weakling. Until now and evermore Kokabiel held fast to the idea that fallen angels are the ultimate race. Now however that belief is being tested, by a child no less. Gritting his teeth Kokabiel removed the sword with much difficulty. After it was out Kokabiel looked at Haoyu with sadistic smile and threw the sword back. But not without first coating it in his aura. Normally the blade would stop just before Its master's body but now it will must keep going. Of course Haoyu could try to stop it but that would damage his hands. Kokabiel watched as he waited to see what way would Haoyu humiliate himself. Unfortunately Haoyu is not like most people ,so he just stood there and watched as the blade landed on his body. When it did there a loud screeching noise which was then followed by an explosion.
