Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and finally, the day arrived for Rossweisse's grandmother to visit. In preparation for the esteemed guest's arrival, Marion and Burent were busy cleaning the long-unused guest rooms, while Asia, Ravel, Kunou, and Valerie were preparing refreshments to entertain the guests.
"Yummy, yummy."
Hiding under the table, Ophis sneaked bites of the freshly baked handmade cookies made by Asia and the others, her mouth stuffed full.
"Ah, darn it, Ophis, those are meant for our guests!"
"Spit it out, give it back to me!"
"Ravel-chan, it's okay. Let Ophis enjoy these. We can bake some more."
Seeing the scene in the kitchen, Tenraku couldn't help but chuckle.
Ravel used to know nothing about cooking or preparing refreshments, being a princess of the Phenex family, she never had to do such things. However, at some point, Ravel started learning from Asia and Kunou. Although she initially only made "darkness" dishes, her cooking skills had improved significantly.
To prevent Ophis from causing any more trouble, Tenraku carried her out of the kitchen.
"Le Fay, come here for a moment."
"What's the matter, Lord Tenraku?"
Calling out to Le Fay, who was nearby, Tenraku asked her to stay in the room and keep an eye on Ophis. After all, they couldn't let others know about Ophis's presence here yet.
"Sure thing, Lord Tenraku."
Tenraku said, and Le Fay nodded in response.
"Ophis, don't wander off later. Stay in the room until the guests leave. I'll have Koneko-chan prepare some snacks for you. If you're bored, you can play games with Le Fay."
"Okay."
Tenraku instructed Ophis, who replied while munching on a cookie.
Seeing that it was almost time, Tenraku handed Ophis over to Le Fay and then joined Rias and the others in the underground teleportation room.
In the center of the room was a complex magic array, a teleportation coordinate that pinpointed the location of the Kamiya Family. For guests arriving from afar, all they needed to do was send the coordinates, and they could be teleported directly.
At the appointed time, under everyone's watchful eyes, the magic array suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Countless specks of light flashed and converged into the figure of a woman.
Dressed in a blue robe, with a dignified demeanor and minimal makeup, the woman looked to be in her early thirties, appearing ageless like Rossweisse.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Göndul, Rossweisse's grandmother." Looking at Tenraku and the others, Rossweisse's grandmother spoke.
"Hello, Lady Göndul. I'm Rias Gremory."
"I'm Sona Sitri."
"I'm Kamiya Tenraku."
"Welcome."
Tenraku, Rias, and SitriSona introduced themselves and expressed their welcome to Göndul.
"I've heard a lot about you all from Rossweisse. My incompetent granddaughter has always relied on your care."
"You're too kind. Rossweisse is an outstanding Valkyrie and Peerage. She's been helping us all along."
After exchanging a few polite words, Rias and Rossweisse's grandmother smiled at each other. Then, Göndul turned to Rossweisse.
"Rossweisse."
Hearing her grandmother call her name, Rossweisse's expression soured slightly, seeming somewhat reluctant, but she still stepped forward.
"Grandma."
"It seems you've been doing well here."
After scrutinizing Rossweisse, Göndul nodded, then added, "We'll talk about your matters later, but don't think you can escape from them."
"I-I understand..."
With her head hung low, Rossweisse seemed to exude zero confidence in front of her grandmother.
To help her out, Tenraku and the girls quickly changed the subject and led Göndul to the prepared guest room. Asia and the others served the freshly made delicacies and everyone took their seats.
After exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere lightened considerably, and the conversation turned to the purpose of Göndul's visit.
"So, Göndul, you'll also be attending the upcoming gathering of magicians in Agares?"
"Yes, recently there have been several mysterious disappearances of magicians researching ancient and forbidden magics. While there's no concrete evidence, it's likely the work of terrorists from the Khaos Brigade."
"To discuss strategies to deal with this, someone organized this gathering, and I'm one of the invited guests."
"In addition, Sona Miss has also invited me to speak at her school."
Upon hearing Göndul's words, Tenraku and the girls couldn't help but look at SitriSona.
"Göndul is a very famous senior in the entire magic community. It's an honor for me to invite you." Acknowledging Göndul's words, Sitri Sona smiled.
Although it was a bit unexpected, Tenraku and the girls understood what was going on. SitriSona's dream school had been completed, and the trial run was about to start. Tenraku and Rias would also go over to help as they had agreed.
Next, they discussed some other matters.
According to the schedule, Göndul would stay in Kuoh Town for a few days before joining Tenraku and the others to go to the Underworld for the magician's gathering and the school event.
With the main topics almost covered, it was time for some casual conversation.
"I heard that Göndul, like Rossweisse, used to be a Valkyrie."
Setting down her teacup, Rias couldn't help but smile.
"That was a long time ago. Valkyries nowadays are very different from before. I always told Rossweisse that she's clueless and unsuitable, but she never listened."
Göndul shook her head, causing Rossweisse to blush, and everyone in the room chuckled kindly.
"Rossweisse, now let's talk about your matters."
Upon hearing her grandmother's words, Rossweisse's heart skipped a beat.
Is it finally happening?
"You have many outstanding female companions around you, but only one male companion."
"Does that mean you've chosen him?"
Göndul's gaze fell on Tenraku, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Rossweisse felt flustered and anxious, but ultimately, she nodded reluctantly.
"Y-Yes, he's my boyfriend, the Red Dragon Emperor, Kamiya Tenraku."
