Re/SET

Life 1 - CH 6

Maoyu walked toward the Occult Club building with Reya accompanying her.

The two didn't talk along the way.

When they arrived to the clubroom, Reya knocked on the door and waited.

A minute later, the door open by a blonde pretty boy.

Reya nodded to him while Maoyu completely ignored him.

They entered the room and stopped a few feet from the door.

The blonde boy moved near the couch while everyone else stared at the newcomers, Maoyu in particular.

"Good evening, President Gremory." Reya bowed in greeting. "Sorry to disturb you."

Rias' eyes lingered on Maoyu before falling on Reya.

"Anyone from Sona's group is always welcome." she said in a friendly matter. "Thank you for showing her here. You both have my gratitude."

"Of course, Gremory-senpai." she said. "President Shitori also says that she will see you for lunch."

"Duly noted." Rias nodded. "Is that all?"

"Hai." Reya bowed. "I'll be taking my leave."

Rias glanced at Kiba, who caught her look and immediately went to escort the Sitri bishop.

Her eyes fell back on Maoyu.

Said girl was standing there with a blank expression on her face. Her eyes were still concealed over her eyes with her book bag and umbrella in her hand that was currently closed. If it wasn't for her lousy posture, she would have looked like a statue.

Rias waited for the door to shut before speaking.

"I'm glad you could make it, Maoyu." she said.

"Didn't really have a choice." Maoyu replied lamely.

Rias didn't deny it and simply nodded.

"How about you take a seat and we'll get started?" she said.

"I'll stand." Maoyu said.

"You might want to sit, Maoyu." Issei chimed in. "If you know what I know, you would agree. And I'm just finding out its not even half of it!"

"I know what happened, Issei." Maoyu glanced at him. "And I heard everything."

Issei looked surprised.

Rias was surprised, too, but hid it well.

She felt her queen send her look, but kept her eyes on Maoyu.

Her face was still blank and she hadn't felt her power fluctuate not even a bit.

Calm before the storm?

"How-When did you-" Issei started.

"Just get to the point." Maoyu ignored him and looked directly Rias. "I ready to go home."

Issei shut his mouth and looked a little hurt by his sister's cold attitude.

He clenched his fists at his sides and doesn't dare look at his sister.

What did he expect after everything that happened?

She probably hated him.

But he couldn't blame her. In fact, he felt that he deserved it. He was the reason she was here after all.

"Very well." Rias nodded. "However, will be following protocol."

She stood from her seat and moved to stand in front of her desk, sitting on its edge.
