The next morning, Xander started to prepare himself for the day. Today is quite a special day for Xander because Sona is going to introduce him to her family. He was cooking food while humming excited about today's meeting. He finished preparing himself and immediately went to school in happy mood.

He arrived at the school where he was received by Sona herself. "Good morning, Sona~" Xander greeted her with a loving smile on his face. "Good morning Xander, are you ready?" Sona returned the smile to Xander while asking him the question. "More than ready" Xander said making Sona nod at him while smiling.

"Still, you've gotten bold huh, Sona? You even received me infront of the gate~" Xander said while giving a teasing smile to Sona. Sona blushed hearing his words as she lightly slapped his shoulder. "S-Shut up" Sona said as she started walking towards Student Council room with slight red face. Xander couldn't help but smile at her, he couldn't help but think that Sona is really cute.

Xander is sitting in the sofa inside the Student Council room as Sona prepared herself. "Let's go, Xander" Sona said while placing her arms on Xander. Xander smiled and nodded his head, the ground started shining, and the Sitri magic circle appeared on the ground. After a second, their entire figure was engulfed by the light and they vanished on the spot.

They appeared infront of a huge mansion where there are many maids working at the front garden. The maids stopped working and some even dropped their equipments when they saw Sona holding a boy's hands while having a smile on her face. They immediately went infront of her and made a huge line of bowing maids as they say "Welcome back, Ojou-sama!" Sona nodded her heads at their actions.

"Inform Father and Mother that I am here, don't tell them about this guy, I want to inform them myself" Sona ordered one of the maids who accepted her orders without question. Sona then led Xander to the mansion where she toured him while waiting for her parents. They arrived at the lounge where they chatted for a few minutes before the door was finally opened.

The door was opened by a black haired middle age man, he got a beard which enhanced his manly aura even more. Beside the man was a mature looking woman who has huge breast and gentle smile on her face. "Sona! You're back!" The man went to Sona and hugged her. "I'm back Father, Mother" Sona said with a smile on her face.

The two was surprised "You've changed, Sona" Lord Sitri said while looking at Sona with gentle eyes while Lady Sitri was looking at Xander with confused eyes until she gained a understanding look and smiled at him. Lord Sitri finally noticed Xander "Sona, this is..?" He asked confused since he never saw this person before. "Father, Mother, This is Xander Ranvil...my fiancé" Sona introduced Xander to the two.

"What!?" Lord Sitri was shocked when he heard Sona's words, he never saw her daughter interested in any man before, now she is bringing a boy to introduce him? How could he handle something like that with ease. "How.. wait, did he beat you in a game of chess?" Lord Sitri asked while eyeing Xander. Sona nodded her head while raising her chin, from the way she's raising her chin you might think that she won the game. Xander finally spoke "Good morning, Lord Sitiri, Lady Sitri, I am Xander Ranvil, Sona's fiancé" Xander introduced himself while bowing slightly.

Lord Sitri went infront of Xander as he gripped his shoulder and asked seriously. "Boy, how did you gain my daughter's approval? I know that simply winning a chess game wouldn't let you win her heart, she is a strict child so how did you do it?" Sona's mouth twitched hearing that as she glared at his father. "How you say.. I just tried to get close to her since she was the type of girl I have been looking for, I guess it just happened?" Xander said not really knowing how he gained Sona's love.

Sona pinched Xander's waist when she heard his words, she was embarrassed by the stare that her parents is giving her, she didn't want to be seen as a simple girl. "Of course not, he gained my approval when he trained my peerage to reach this level" Sona said as she pointed at the sky making her parents confuse, they were surprised when they saw the sky turning black as rain started pouring heavily. They thought it was over when they saw the land far from their place started decaying, they stared at the raindrops with more focus as they saw that every piece of it holds a decaying effect.

Both of them turned their heads to Sona "Sona..this is?" Lady Sitri asked as she was stunned just by what she saw. "Its simple, she simply made it rain and simply turned all the droplets into deadly attack, she can change the effects into many things, whether healing, poison, petrification, charm, many more even..death" Xander explained to both of them. This is why Sona is the strongest in her peerage even though, everyone is broken in her peerage. She learned all the abilities that her peerage has, and even more terrifying is all of her attacks deals true damage.

The two were astounded by what they heard, they couldn't help but stare at her to confirm what Xander said. "Yes, Xander trained me until I finally reached this power, now achieving my dream doesn't seem impossible anymore" Sona said with a melancholic look on her face, before she has this power, she merely dreamed about it. "By Lucifer's name... and you achieved all of this by training for 10 days?" As Sona asked them for permission to use the mansion in the mountains, they already know about the training camp that Sona's peerage did, Sona just nodded her head.

"It seems like our daughter has really grown" Lady Sitri said while looking at Sona with caring eyes. Lord Sitri also smiled then he remembered a certain Magical Girl who loved her sister so much, he couldn't help but worry about the boy. That girl is obsessed with Sona so she probably already heard about her arrival, that would only mean that she is comin-. "Boom!"

Before Lord Sitri could finish his thoughts, the door was suddenly slammed. "So-tan~, I heard you came back so I immediately returned from work~★" Serafall was overjoyed when she heard the news of her sister's visit, but she froze on the spot when she saw Sona hugging a man's arms while smiling at him.

"So-tan...? Who is this?" Serafall asked a question while pointing at Xander. "Nee-sama, this is Xander, my fiancé" Sona said while tugging at Xander's clothes, Xander nodded and was about to introduce when Serafall suddenly appeared infront of them with a really gentle smile on her face scaring Sona. "How did you seduce my sister?" Serafall said while keeping her smile. Xander stared at her for a moment before puffing his chest "Of course she falled for my charm!" He raised his chin and said that making Sona embarrassed by what Xander said.

"Xander!" Sona said while pinching his sides making Xander act in pain. "I see, you really did seduce my sister huh?" Serafall was silent for a moment before saying, she appeared infront of Xander eyes, and was about to use ice magic when she suddenly saw a photo appearing infront of her face. "Wha-!?" She stopped and immediately took the photo. "Wow~, you're great~★!" Serafall with star on her eyes making Sona and her parents confuse by the change of mood.

They stared at the photo in Serafall's hands and was dumbfounded by what they saw, in the picture there was Sona with blushed on her face as she squirmed. "..When did you get that, Xander!!" Sona screamed with a heavy blush on her face, embarrassed by her parent's eyes. Xander ignored Sona as he opened his inventory, and took a whole bag of pictures making Serafall excited even more. "How about this, sister-in-law, I'll give you this exclusive Sona edition, in exchange for your blessing~" Serafall was about to refuse when she saw picture of Sona with close eyes and silly grin on her face. "Deal~★" Serafall immediately said making Xander do a pumpfist.

After that show, they took a seat and started talking like a proper peoples. "So, why do you love So-tan, Xander~?" Serafall asked while hugging Sona, making the girl sigh. "Let's see... At first I was just amazed by her beauty but as time goes I started to like her reaction when I tease her, she became so cute that I couldn't help my self" Xander said with a sweet smile on his face making Sona pout at his words. "Ohh, you have a great taste~, Isn't So-tan so cute!?" Serafall nodded her head at Xander's words. "Now, that's that, I still want to see if you can protect my sister or you would be just a burden to her" Serafall suddenly said seriously making Xander raise an eyebrow but immediately accepted the challenge with a wide grin on his face.
