Chapter 36: Discussions

"Hey, bro, I'm back," Jake called out as he teleported back into Sirzechs' office. "Whoa, what happened to you?" He asked in concern. Sirzechs did not look good. He had bags under his eyes, and he looked exhausted.

"Hey, Jake!" Sirzechs sent him a small wave from behind his desk. There was a lot of paperwork piled in front of him. "The paperwork... it just wouldn't stop. I kept signing and reading and reading and signing, and yet the pile of documents in front of me never got any smaller!" Sirzechs whined with tired-looking eyes. That sounded awful. Jake had been gone for almost the entire day, after all. Grayfia, standing next to him, also looked tired. Had she been standing there the whole time as well? What a dedicated maid-wife she was!

"If your job is too tedious, have you considered quitting?" Jake said jokingly. Grayfia tiredly scoffed, while Sirzechs had a hopeful look on his face, like he'd just had an epiphany!

Grayfia saw her husband's look and shut it down immediately. "Don't even think about quitting. Without you at the helm, our race will be doomed," she said in a completely serious tone. That didn't sound ominous at all, Jake thought sarcastically.

Suddenly, the office door slammed open, and in barged Rias. "Well, well, well," she said slyly, "look who's back. I just got off the phone with Sona, and somebody," she grinned at Jake, "apparently had a hot date with Serafall."

"So, I take it you succeeded in cheering her up, then?" Sirzechs asked Jake, to which he nodded. "That's good," he said. Grayfia agreed as well. Serafall moping around was part of the reason for all the backed-up paperwork.

"So, what did you two do? Your big sister wants details," Rias asked Jake.

"It wasn't anything major," he just shrugged, but from their expressions, he could tell that they did not believe him.

Rias just stared at him intensely. "You went on a date with the most eligible bachelorette in the underworld. Sona's peerage is full of mostly teenage girls. They will gossip, and by tomorrow, the entire underworld is going to know about you. In fact, they're probably going to know about you anyway, considering you'll be facing Riser soon. Though, compared to dating a maou, hardly anyone's even going to give a crap about your duel. So..." she trailed off, "details!"

Sirzechs, watching from his desk, snickered. "Yes, Jake, give us details."

Rias and Sirzechs then turned to Grayfia, expecting her to join in on hounding Jake too.

"No," she bluntly said.

Jake just let out a sigh. He figured he might as well spill to get them to stop teasing him. "Alright, fine, you two win."

He started off by telling them how messy Serafall's room was and he compared it to someone else's he knew of. Rias just scoffed at him. Then he told them all about their touching, heartfelt reunion, followed by their impromptu date to Akihabara, where apparently the ordinary people there were oblivious to real magic.

"Hold up a minute," Rias spoke with a pout before turning to Sirzechs expectantly. "Why is it he gets to go to Japan and have a fun time, meanwhile, me and my peerage are stuck holed up in this manor the entire summer!?"

"Because our mother said so, and Jake doesn't have an inbred chicken after him... well, he didn't," Sirzechs said. "I suppose he does now, though," he trailed off. "Maybe it would be best if you stayed in our or the Sitri mansion as well until your duel, Jake."

"What?!" Jake exclaimed. "Why?"

Grayfia spoke up, "Riser Phenex is not known to be the most honorable of devils." Rias scoffed at that statement. "We don't know if he wouldn't take the opportunity to try and attack you before the duel in order to injure or kill you to make him win by default."
