🌳 Life 3 × CH 1 🌳

Maoyu sat in the living room with her arms crossed and her brow twitching.

"A-A....Asia, wasn't it?" Goro looked at the four teens sitting across from them.

"Hai, Father." Asia responded.

A vein surfaced on Maoyu's temple.

"S-Surely there are better homes than ours for you to homestay in, aren't there?" Goro said.

"I concur." Maoyu said, earning a glance from Rias.

"But I am indebted to Issei." Asia said, earning a look of surprise from Issei.

"Indebted?" Goro looked confused.

"Hai." Asia replied. "After I came here all alone from overseas, he is the one who helped me the most....."

"I thought I would be able to rest at ease living in the same house as Issei."

"Asia...." Issei slightly blushed, feeling quite touched by her words.

"But if I'd be in the way, I'll relent." Asia said.

"Oh, we're not telling you you can't." Miki spoke. "It's just, we don't have an available room."

Asia looked sadden by that, making everyone feel sorry for her....except Maoyu who looked pleased.

It's not that she didn't like Asia. The girl seemed nice.

However, she didn't appreciate Rias offering the girl their home as a shelter like she owned the place. She didn't even bother to ask them how they felt about it.

Just because Issei was a horny moron, didn't mean she would succumb to the girl's every whim.

Rias was really crossing the line.

"We also have a son who you might say is the embodiment of horniness." Goro said.

"Yes, yes." Miki agreed.

"What—" Issei looked offended. "How can you say that about your own son?!"

"Okay then, along with your homestay experience, you'll get some training for married life, too." Rias spoke up. "How does that sound?"

"What?" Maoyu glared at Rias.

"M-Married life?!" The rest of the Hyoudous said in shock.

"M-mother, I didn't think we'd ever get to gaze at the faces of our grandchildren." Goro cried as he held his wife's hands.

"Huh?!" Issei was taken aback at the mention of grandchildren.

He was only 17 for crying out loud!

"Father! Me, too!" Miki agreed, crying. "That's a lot to ask of our good-for-nothing son."

"Hey! Hold on, hold on!" Issei protested.

"Father, Mother, Issei is not a good-for-nothing." Asia defended him.

Miki and Goro gasped in surprise.

"W-what a sweet girl she is!" Miki smiled.

Goro laughed in happiness and turned to Rias.

"Y-Yes, Miss Rias, we will take in Miss Asia—or should I say, please allow us to!" Goro said.

"We'll find a way to accommodate this sweet young lady." Miki said.

"Arigatou, Father, Mother." Rias smiled at them.

Issei looked stomped.

"That settles it, right?" Rias looked at Issei.
