There was something to be said about rich people.
But really...Naruto could say absolutely nothing about the Gremory and their wealth.
To say that the Gremory family was filthy stinkin' rich was overwhelmingly downplaying the sheer magnitude of their amount of cash.
He just had to look around at the friggen' mountainside that they owned in this summer home of theirs to prove it...as well as the forest.
"Hey! Naruto, slow down!"
The shinobi stopped walking up the stairs and turned around to face the stragglers.
"Slow down? I'm not even walking that fast ya know? I think that you lot should move faster! Move those muscles people!" Naruto announced in defiance, before turning around and walking forward.
Mio just sighed at his stubborn refusal. It wasn't that they were moving too slow...it was more that Naruto was moving way too fast.
He seemed to be in high spirits, for better or for worse.
"Sorry Rias-sempai. It seems that Naruto's having one of his eccentric moments. I'm sure that you must be annoyed of it because it reminds you of your own brother's eccentrics right?" Mio said apologetically to her fellow red-head besides her.
Rias just smirked at her, Naruto's eccentrics was absolutely nothing compared to her brother's. Until the blond began using a videocam to record Mio's sleeping face, her nii-sama was very much the biggest sis-con in the entire world.
Although she was sure that Sona would object to that quite harshly.
"No worries Mio-chan. Instead of getting annoyed at him...his enthusiasm is pretty refreshing. It makes me feel like we're going on an adventure rather than training, isn't that right Akeno?" Rias said before turning to her best friend.
"Right Buchou! His demeanor is quite infectious." Akeno agreed with a gentle smile.
Mio glanced at the bright ball of energy that was Naruto at the front.
Despite her words, she did agree that Naruto was simply the kind of guy that would bring smiles through his upbeat attitude.
She was lucky to have him as a friend.
But it was also her duty to make sure that his head didn't get too big! He already had an insane amount of self-confidence as it was!
"...Hurry up pervert-sempai. You're moving too slow."
"...Damn it...it's not...my fault that...everyone is so crazy strong!"
"Ah...sorry. If you'll excuse me Issei-kun."
"...Even...even the pretty boy is stronger than me!?"
Speaking of having too much self-confidence...
Whereas Naruto had a lot of self-confidence but still managed to come off as personable and likeable...this one...
Came off as very annoying.
She of course was referring to Hyoudou Issei, the newest member of Rias-sempai's Peerage. Recently inducted and was being forced to join the training trip to improve his abilities.
He wasn't the only newcomer to tag along though.
"I-Issei-san! Be careful! Do you need help?"
"Eh? No way Asia! You don't need to help! I'm doing just fine on my own! Just...give me a second..."
Mio had no idea why a blond nun was hanging out with one of the biggest enemies of womankind...ever.
At least...before she would've had no idea. Now that her blond brother has filled her in on what has been happening around Kuoh...she knew why.
It warmed her heart to know that under that extremely perverted exterior, that there was a genuine good heart in there. She would have liked to become friends with him if it wasn't for the fact that she was sure that he would try to peek under her skirt...
Although she made a note to try to get to know both Asia and Koneko, especially Koneko. They had a shared distrust and disgust of perverts.
Fast-friend material right there.
Although...she should be worrying about the friends she already had rather than ones that she could make.
She chanced a glance at the lone wolf among the group, concerned at her friend's reticence.
Yuki was very distant with everyone at the moment, she's been in her own little world for a while now.
If she didn't break out of her funk soon, then some friendly intervention might be called for soon enough.
"Mio-sama, what do you think Naruto-sama has planned for us? It shouldn't be too strenuous right?"
Mio glanced down at her guardian; Maria. The red-head absolutely had no idea.
Though considering how strong he was and his pranking inclination...she'd guess that everyone was in for a rough couple of days.
When the ragtag group finally made it to the summer home itself...it didn't disappoint.
"...It's literally a mansion..." Naruto said in awe, genuinely looking forward to sleeping in high-quality beds during their stay.
"I'm glad that you're enjoying this Naruto...but I'm pretty sure that I will get lost in here." Mio said quietly while looking at the mansion
The blond grinned at her, they would probably get lost while they were here. But that just gave it a feeling of excitement to him!
"So...what torture do you have planned for us today Naruto? Run hundreds of laps? Don't eat for several days? Stand still as you pelt us with objects to increase our pain tolerance?" Mio asked partially in jest, she was sure that he planned something difficult for them. But nothing quite up there.
"...Admittedly I was giving that last idea some thought." Naruto mumbled while glancing away uneasily.
The young half-devil just gave him an incredulous stare. Was he serious?
"Hey. Don't give me that look. I need to have as much fun in this trip as possible, by the time I come back...the student council will try and give me detention again..." the shinobi said mournfully, feeling physically tired from the imagined stunts he'd have to pull once back at Kuoh Academy.
