A magic circle opened up in the Hyoudou living room, where Issei, Irina, Xenovia, and Griselda stepped out. They were hit with the smell of food and could see that Miki, Ingvild, Asia, and Ravel were setting the food at the table. He sensed Vali's team had made it back, some of them were elsewhere in the house, likely freshening up.

Kuroka: Hello, Ise-nya~ - jumping on his back.

Issei: Ah, hello, Kuroka, um, could you get off my back, please?

Kuroka: Nya~ but you haven't seen me all day - she pouted as she got off from his back.

Issei: It's been quite a day - as he walked with Irina towards his mother - hey, kaa-san, how was your day?

Miki: Hi, dear, it was good, how about you?

Issei: We're making some progress, right? - asking the question to Irina.

Irina: Right - she affirmed.

Miki: That's good news.

Issei: Did you go see your friend, Ingvild-chan?

Ingvild: Yes, I did.

Issei: How is she?

Ingvild: She's still recovering, they said that they will implant a new eye for her, but her left side looks completely healed. Thank you for helping her out - giving a bow.

Issei: It's no problem.

Griselda: I shall take my leave, Sekiryuutei.

Miki: Are you not going to stay for dinner?

Griselda: No, thank you, I do not want to impose - suddenly she felt something grab her hand, she looked to see that it was Xenovia.

Xenovia: Please... stay, if that is alright with you? - directing the question at Miki.

Miki: Of course it is, I offered, didn't I? Girls, please grab another plate for our guest.

Ravel: On it!

Griselda: Why do you want me to stay?

Xenovia: I'd like to talk to you after dinner, if that is okay.

Griselda: Very well - she sighed, but she was delighted to spend time with her ward again.

Issei: Hey, where's Lilith-chan?

Ophis: Sleeping like this one - nodding off at Kunou, who fell asleep on the couch.

Miki: Azazel had Ingvild use her sacred gear, he was determining how effective it is against dragons.

Irina: Really?

Miki: Yes, he said that if given time and training, Ingvild would be able to control the dragon gods.

Issei: What?

Ophis: She's not lying, I was feeling affected by her gear, but it was not only me, but Azazel was also affected, the others were wearing earbuds.

Issei: How is that possible?

Ophis: He mentioned it because of his closeness to you and Vali, which is probably why Irina was slightly affected.

Issei: Because she is close to me.

Irina: That explains the headache, when I got close to her.

Issei: Yeah...

Bikou: Yo, Hyoudou!

Issei: Oh, hey, Bikou - giving a wave to the yokai, he seemed to be showered.

Bikou: The day work out for you?
