Raizo POV

After we were done with the hot springs, Rias took all of us to her family's mansion.

Issei: Holy hell!

Xenovia: Wow! This place is enormous!

Asia: This is where your family lives?!

Just then, Grayfia came out to greet us.

Grayfia: Welcome home, my lady. We have been awaiting your return. You may follow me inside.

We began to follow Grayfia through the Gremory Mansion. As we were walking through the halls, there were long lines of maids and butlers bowing their heads to us.

Raizo: Talk about a warm welcome.

Kuroka: No kidding.

Just then, a little boy with red hair came running to us.

???: Rias! Rias! You're finally home!

The young boy ran up to Rias and gave her a hug, which she reciprocated.

Rias: I've missed you, Millicas. My, you have gotten big since the last time I saw you.

Issei: Who's the kid? Is he your little brother, Rias?

Rias: Not exactly. Millicas is the son of my older brother, Zechs.

Raizo: Oh, so he's your nephew.

Rias: *looks at Millicas* Now be a good boy, and say hello.

Millicas: Ok. *looks at everyone and smiles* My name is Millicas Gremory. It's a pleasure to meet you all.

Asia: *giggles* So cute!

Xenovia: Devilish looks, and good manners. Talk about prince charming.

Issei: Wait, if this kid is Sirzechs' son, then who's the mother?

Raizo: *smirks and whispers* 15,000 yen says it's Grayfia.

Issei: *smirks* Oh, you are so on!

We both shook hands, sealing the bet. Afterwards, Grayfia led all of us to a room where we met a beautiful older woman with brown hair. She also looked like an older version of Rias. Leading me to believe that this was her mother.

Millicas ran up to the woman and hugged her.

Millicas: Rias and her friends are here!

???: My my~, such poor manners.

Rias: Hello, mother.

Akeno: It's a pleasure to see you again. It's been so long, Lady Venelana.

Everyone bowed their heads to her, and Kuroka, Ahri and I followed suit. Greeting the matriarch of the Gremory Clan.

Venelana: You sound so different, Akeno. I'm so delighted to meet all your new friends. I'm Rias's mom, Venelana Gremory.

Venelana then looked at Issei.

Venelana: Excuse me, darling, but are you Issei Hyoudou?

Issei: Yes ma'am. But, may I ask how you know my name?

Venelana: I take it upon myself to learn my daughter's suitors. A mother worries, you know.

Issei: *blushes* Oh! Well, in that case I hope I've made a good first impression. *chuckles nervously*

Venelana: *giggles* You're perfectly fine, dear. Besides, my husband didn't do too well himself. He should've picked the boy Rias liked as her fiance to begin with~.
