Chapter 080

Mio gave him a dull stare, it really sounded stupid no matter how you framed his actions.

"Now give me a second to explain! The fallen angels were not supposed to be here in Kuoh Town ya know? So I beat up this first group at a abandoned factory, that led to another fight with them at an abandoned church..." Naruto continued before being interrupted.

"THAT WAS YOU!?"

Naruto gave Mio a light glare as she gaped at him.

"...You didn't let me finish." Naruto deadpanned at her.

But the young red-head wasn't having it. "Hey! You do realize that your little battle made the news right!? You absolutely obliterated that factory! What happened in there? Why didn't you tell us? Heck, why did you even attack them to begin with!?" Mio asked relentlessly, with her unconsciously leaning into Naruto's personal space.

"Calm down, calm down! The entire thing sorta just...blew up without warning! The factory blowing up wasn't my fault ya know? That was the fallen angel; Vretiel's fault not mine." Naruto explained, ignoring the now gaping mouth of Maria who knew that name and continued. "Also, I was gonna explain why attacked them. So shush! Let me finish."

Maria was speechless and Mio calmed herself down enough to go back to her chair. She could already tell that she was gonna be tired after this.

Yuki was staring at her phone as if it was a bomb that was set off to blow any second. She received some troubling news.

There were rumors of infighting beginning to crop up among some heroes back in the village.

At first she thought that the infighting began because of her actions following her clash with Naruto. But it seemed that there has been tension for quite a while, simmering just underneath the surface over what the Hero Tribe should be doing.

Her actions just happened to have brought that tension out.

Now the current village leader wants to meet with her in order to get a full debrief of what has been happening in Kuoh Town, especially after the fallen angel debacle.

But now he also wants to see someone else.

Now the leader of the Hero Tribe wants to meet with Uzumaki Naruto. For what purpose she had no idea...

But she didn't have much choice in the matter, she would broach the subject with Naruto tomorrow.

Although she couldn't help but rub her temples, she wasn't exactly looking forward to meeting her foster father so soon...with a boy no less.

Naruto sort of expected the gaping reactions from his listeners, a lot has happened that they weren't privy to.

"N-Naruto-sama. Are you sure that the leaders of the two devil groups are little sisters of Maous?" Maria asked hesitantly, obviously finding it hard to wrap her head around the fact, they were so close to close relatives of the current Maous.

Naruto simply nodded in affirmation.

Mio for her part, was combing her bangs from her her forehead in frustration. The real status of the devils of this territory, the knowledge of Yuki's true affiliations, the fact that these groups have managed to form an agreement with one another, and the debacle of what amounted to a series of battles against the fallen...

Yeah, she was mentally exhausted from all of this information.

"Naruto. I still don't understand why you didn't tell us earlier?" Mio asked with a questioning gaze. The blond glanced at her for a moment before turning his eyes to the ceiling.

"You two...you two went through a lot in such a short time. All that has happened had nothing to do with either of you, so I wanted to make sure none of you were worrying over what was going on. I'm sorry if I worried you two." Naruto said apologetically.

The young daughter of the original Lucifer didn't say anything, she just stood up and walked towards the blond with a blank face.

She then moved into his personal space in order to look at him in the eye with a deadpanned expression.

"Are you an idiot?" Mio asked incredulously.

How rude.

Before Naruto could complain however, Mio continued. "The second that you were involved in all of this Naruto...we became involved too. Don't forget, we are your friends too, and as friends...we will worry about you. You don't have to do this alone, let us help!"

The shinobi blinked at her words, was he really making them worry?

Then he scratched his head in irritation, maybe he was being unfair to them. Maybe the fact that he has been working by himself for more than two months have made him less reliant on others.

Even when he should be.

Pink eyes regarded blue as they thought on her words, she then shook him physically so that he could pay attention to her next words. "Naruto...promise me you that you won't do something stupid like this again...ok? Promise me that we will face whatever we have to face together." Mio pleaded, with her fists clenching the blond's clothes.

Maria walked up to the duo and placed her hand on Naruto's hand in reassurance. "Yes Naruto-sama! You don't have to do this alone...let's do this like a family." Maria said with a large smile.

Naruto stared at the two for a moment.

Then he grinned...maybe he could be a big idiot sometimes.

"Alright alright...you two win. I promise that I won't hide stuff like this from either of you from now on. But you do realize what this means right?" Naruto asked cryptically, much to the confusion of both devils. "Now that means you gotta be able to defend yourselves against more powerful enemies. So I think it's time to train." he concluded.

Mio would have likely balked at the idea, but the very fact that so much has happened around Kuoh Town without her knowledge helped to make it easier to accept.

"But Naruto...I can understand how you can train Maria. But what about me? I use magic and that can't be trained by someone that doesn't know it's uses, at least not trained very well." the teenaged girl wondered aloud.

Naruto gave her a thumbs up in response.

"Leave that to me!"

After their enlightening talk, the group agreed to go to bed. Two out of the three people living there had to go to school after all.
