A Couple Weeks Later

If you told me a couple of months ago that I would be taking a train down to the underworld I would have called you crazy, but here I am. After the summit I took a lot of time training to try to harness Albion's power better, and it seems like I'm getting better with it. From what I understand I'm better at using my dragon than Issei is with Ddraig so I'd consider it a win. I've been spending most of my time away from the devils though Akeno, Koneko, and Rias have come by sometimes to check on me. I've been doing most of my training with Dad and Ban, but the other Sins have still been around to help me out. When Escanor is at his full power he's able to take me out with ease, but the other six Sins I've been able to compete with one on one. From what I understand they'll all be coming by the underworld at a later point, but for now I'm being sent down with the devils.

As I take my seat on the train Koneko sits down next to me and leans her head on my shoulder. She told me about how Sirzechs ordered the female members of Rias' house to move in with Issei and how she wasn't fond of it, and I don't blame her. I've never bothered trying to hide my perverted tendencies but I don't look at Koneko that way, which she's been very appreciative of. I lean my head on top of hers and I look around the train car, seeing just Rias' household in with us. Azazel told me that Sona's house is here as well, but I'm going to the Gremory domain with Rias' household, much to my dismay. I haven't seen Serafall since the day after the summit, but I've done my best to try to keep in touch with her. Every time we talk I just want to see her again, and if I could I would have gone straight to the Sitri domain to see her. There's a meeting going on with the devils later today and she said that would be the best chance for me to see her until the big meeting in about a month.

I look down at Koneko and see her staring off into space much like I am. I put my arm around her and start rubbing my hand on her shoulder. Her eyes turn up my way and I smile at her.

"Everything okay my sweet Nekomata?"

"I'll talk to you about it later," she says, "it's kind of complicated." I have an idea where this is going, and that makes me nervous. Koneko told me more about her sister and I've done my best to be a replacement sibling to her, even if she doesn't want me to. Seeing her like this tells me that it's something to do with her sister, and I don't want Koneko to beat herself up over it. A small figure pops out of a box next to us and I recognize it as Rias' other Bishop, Gasper. I don't know a lot about him but he doesn't seem like that bad of a kid, just very socially awkward. In his defense he was locked in a room by himself for years so it's not like he had a chance to socialize. We've talked a few times and I've gotten to know him a little better, and he thinks it's really cool that I'm Meliodas' son, just like everyone else does. He prefers the girl's uniform of the school, but that doesn't bother me. If he's comfortable what does it matter to me?

"This train ride is taking a while," he tells me.

"From what Rias and Akeno said this is mandatory for all new devils and anyone else entering the underworld for the first time, so that's why we have to take the train. If myself, Issei, or Asia were to teleport down there then we would be in trouble, especially me."
