Chapter 110 - Visiting Underworld

"Eh? You say they were hiding in the Underworld all along?" Ravel asked with a little shock.

"Yes. His wife, Mrs Kuroka was seen visiting her younger sister, Miss Koneko who is spending her summer vacation along with her peerage. Along with Mrs Kuroka are his daughters which is hard to be mistaken especially because of their outstanding appearances that attract much attention amongst the noble sons of the Pillar Clans." The butler of Phenex House bowed and informed her of the information she required.

Hearing the information, Ravel sighs because Ray was out there searching for Kuroka and the girls unaware they were in the underworld all along.

"Wait, you said Riser Nii-san just left right… did he by chance…" Ravel paused after seeing the troubled look on the butler's face while cold sweat trickled down.

Needless to say, Ravel is terrified and furious.

First is because Riser is about to make a move on his niece. Not something out of the norm in Devil society considering incestuous relationships aren't shunned and sexual relationships between close family members are rather common especially those dying noble houses that are desperate to produce childs with higher bloodline purity.

Second, considering how Ray actually views his 'Harem of Daughters'. There is a high chance her brother's head will roll on the ground if he knew Riser is trying to covet his prized collections.

"Satan be damned, Nii-san. You better have not done anything unforgivable." Ravel with a very concerned expression immediately went to the nearest window and flew out after sprouting a large fiery wings.

"Ah! But, Lady Ravel. What about meeting the Lord and Lady Phenex?" The butler shouted but Ravel already vanished from the sky and now he is left to explain on his own why Ravel suddenly disappeared when the Lord and Lady are eager to talk about her pregnancy and their grandchild.

Klein Kelvin or Klein Dantalion, was at the verge of nervous breakdown. To explain how this happened, we have to go back a few hours ago.

Due to his status as a sole surviving heir to an already extinct Devil House of the Pillar Clan, he met with Serafall Leviathan and Sirzech Lucifer a lot. He also meeting Lord Gremory because the God in charge of his reincarnation set that his 'father' is a best friend of Zoeticus Gremory and to repaid the debt he once owe to the former Lord Dantalion, Zoeticus Gremory will support him and his House Dantalion to raise back from extinction.

Through the combination of these opportunities, Klein managed to learn quite a bit about Kuroka and Ray's daughters. After hearing the explanation, Klein is very convinced that this 'Unknown God' is a reincarnator like him but unlike him, the other guy got useful OP power to even be capable of making Sirzech feel inferior in battle.

However, that is not what shook him the most. Instead, it happened after Klein accidentally met Kuroka and her lineup of daughters. As any standard System, he is provided with Analysis ability and when he uses it on Kuroka and all the girls, he is left baffled.

The girls aside, Kuroka's stats basically glitched out. Also the Race clearly stated she is an Eldritch instead of the original Nekoshou, which is quite the massive deviation from the canon.

However, his despair hadn't ended yet. The results of Analysis on the daughters also left quite the impact on his mind. Herrscher of Void, the Judgement Class Honkai Beast, The Evil God, Angra Mainyu, Vessel of The Outer God and many more. Each of them is such a high profile character while he is just a reincarnator with a goddamn glorified farming simulator system…

To say he was fucked over by the God that reincarnated him is not an exaggeration because he was basically like a child thrown into a minefield. One misstep and he will be killed. Barely even learn how to walk and have to walk through this mindfield to survive.

"Fuck the House Dantalion resurrection. Imma go to Earth in exile and live my life as a shut-in just like before." Klein said while hiding under his blanket on his bed while thinking that even basic Devil ability is sufficient for him to live a stable life on Earth. Better than trying to struggle against an Eldritch God with a trash farming simulator system.

Like how is he even expected to fight? Plant Vs Zombie style? Raising plants with special power?

"No." He suddenly said and tore away the blanket to get out of hiding. "I had been a coward and pushover in my past life. I'm not going to drop the towel just like that without a fight!" Klein suddenly renewed his spirit and vigor.

So what if there is a strong reincarnator already. He just needs to get out of their way. Not like it's a rule that a fellow reincarnator needs to kill each other. Right?

At the Gremory Clan's estate, Koneko is happy to meet her nieces but also frankly overwhelmed by the number of them.

Seven of them right now are visiting Kuroka but there are more out there that aren't here.

Unlike Kuroka, Koneko does not openly display her Nekoshou form because of her fear of Senjutsu although with Ray's memory modification, it changed to her lack of training.

"Aunt! Aunt! Why do you not have tails like mommy?" The confused Jack sneaked her head under Koneko's skirt which caused her to jump and got agitated because she couldn't sense Jack at all thanks to Presence Concealment that Assassin Class Servant has.

"Come on Jack, don't sneak on Aunt Koneko like that. It's impolite." Sirin caught the clueless offender by her arms and dragged her away while a few were laughing at Koneko's expenses but Issei became the victim of her frustration.

"Ouch! What is that for?" Issei rubs his shoulder after Koneko gives it a casual swing.

"You are making fun of me." Koneko replied with a deadpan look.

While Koneko is being called Aunt, Sirin and both Sakuras are almost half a head taller than Koneko thanks to their growth spurt from reaching the age of puberty. Meanwhile Koneko herself is almost as tall as Abby who is currently playing with Milicas and Alice under the supervision of Grayfia who Kuroka asked to tag along.

"What about Buchou and Akeno-san who also laughed at you?" Issei pointed out the injustice of this and demanded the two also be punished but Koneko didn't because the former is her King and the latter is her respected senior.

Still, the highlight of the line up undoubtedly is Ophis who is calmly snacking from her bottomless pouch with a cute cat face that seems to contain not just endless amounts of food, but also a large variety of it.

Even as Rias and the others avoid bringing her up, they can't help but feel curious and their curiosity is easily seen by Kuroka who totally understands their reaction. After all, the cute and harmless looking girl is the second strongest being in the world after Great Red. No, she is now number one strongest if the list were to be updated and if Ray is excluded.

"Uhm… Miss—"

"Just Kuroka is fine. You all are Koneko's family and her family is my own too." Kuroka said, immensely grateful still for the time when the Gremory took in Koneko and cared for her like their own.

"Then, Kuroka… Is it fine if I ask how she… Ophis became your daughter?" Rias asked as adoption didn't seem to cross her mind especially when Dragon is known to be a proud and solitary creature.

To that question, Kuroka laughed a bit when forming her answer.

"Just a small promise and a bribe of endless snacks." She said while trying to stop her laugh and explain more. "Well, my darling has a habit of adopting daughters as you can see." She points at the variety of girls which Rias and Akeno nod to.

But when speaking about the topic of daughter, it reminded her of the recent fight they had and the reason why she is here in the first place, leaving her huffing in discontent.

"While he likes to adopt daughters, he seems to have an aversion to having his own biological children." Kuroka mumbles and the two know not to step on that landmine of a topic.

"W-Well… aside from that, how long do you plan to stay here? If needed, I can help arrange a guest house."

Rias quickly changed the topic but Kuroka sighed and shook her head.

"Thank you but we do not plan to stay for long, because we will be visiting the Phenex Clan after this to meet the Lord and Lady to talk about Ravel."

"About Ravel?" Rias wondered and tried to inquire.

"Well, my darling got Ravel pregnant and knowing her parents, they would definitely want to arrange an official marriage." Kuroka dropped the proverbial bomb on the conversation that left them and especially Rias, jaw slacked.

"R-Ravel is pregnant!" Rias exclaims while the tea cup fell from her hand but Akeno caught it in time and sighed in relief that its hot content didn't splash on her King.

"Yes. It happened a few days ago." Kuroka confirmed while holding back her irritated look.

"Did… did anyone else know about this yet?"

Kuroka looked around and saw Rias' peerage paying attention to the conversation and turned back to Rias.

"For now, only you and your peerage." Kuroka answered.

"I see…" Rias quiets down as her mind is working overdrive to figure out the implications of this.

An already influential Pillar Clan like Phenex suddenly gained a strong relationship with a God of such caliber. If this news gets out, a shit storm will sweep through the Devil's politics especially when Ray not only proves to be strong but also has someone like Artoria under him which basically is Devil's worst opponent in any battle. She cannot even begin to comprehend the implications of this and one thing she is certain is she must inform her brother immediately.

Rias immediately excused herself but Kuroka didn't intend to stop her because by now, Ravel should have informed her family and the news was probably already out by now. Just not yet widespread.
