Rias was stunned by the easy victory the white-haired man got and Gabriel listened to every detail with curiosity and clapped enthusiastically when she heard Jiraiya won.
"So that's how this party came to be," Jiraiya said, somehow managing to speak normally despite all the alcohol he consumed.
"Jiraiya-sama, do you think I can win against Riser now?" Rias asked, coming to the main point of why she attended the party.
"I'm sorry to say this, dear. Sadly, you can't. From the estimates Naruto gave me and the experience I have fighting Riser, I don't think you can win over him." He revealed the harsh reality.
"However, if you train well, you can beat him. I can see your PoD destroying his flames." He said with a smile. Rias got a happy smile at that.
"Thank you, Jiraiya-sama," Rias said with a bow.
"How many members did you get in your peerage, Jiraiya-sama," Sona asked with her glasses shining in reflection.
"That's a tough question. It depends. You saw 4 and others are yet to accept and some are yet to be reincarnated." Jiraiya said, giving a discreet look at the 2 Cats.
"So you have many plans. Guess you are going to show them to us soon." Sona said and Jiraiya nodded.
"I didn't expect Grayfia here," Rias said in surprise.
"Well, I invited your 2 siblings. But they couldn't come. So they sent Grayfia in their stead." Naruto said with a shrug. Sona felt elated at that. At least Serafall didn't bunk her work at the first chance and come here.
And the discussion went on. Nothing important, just some friendly discussion on many things went on while a lavender-haired Knight went unnoticed by Rias and Sona.
After long past midnight, the party ended, Sona and Rias teleporting to their homes in their Magic circles followed by the 2 Cats who went unnoticed.
Only Naruto, Jiraiya and their peerages with Gabriel and Grayfia remained in the house. Naruto turned to Gabriel with a smile.
"Gabriel, do you have anywhere to stay in Kuoh?" He knew its a dumb question as there is no working church in Kuoh as it's a Devil territory. But as a courtesy, he asked.
"No. I didn't plan that." Gabriel said with an innocent smile and Naruto nodded in understanding.
"You can stay in the guest house there. I hope it is comfortable and fits your needs." Naruto said, gesturing to the newly constructed guest house just a few meters from the mansion.
"Thank you for your hospitality. This only reassures my assumptions." She said with a smile and went to the guest house. Naruto used his clones and constructed it after Gabriel's arrival not wanting the Archangel strolling around his mansion.
As she left, Grayfia kept a hawk gaze on her, expecting Gabriel to pull some stunt. But Gabriel did none of that and seeing her go into the house, she relaxed.
"Well, I didn't expect the party to take this turn, but I still intend to introduce my Peerage to you," Naruto said to the silver beauty beside him. Grayfia pondered it for a second and nodded in acknowledgement and that led them into the mansion's basement.
"Grayfia, let me show you my trusted Vice President. This is Lavinia Reni, my Bishop." Naruto introduced and Reni bowed in respect.
"Next is the well-known assistant of Sensei, Miya, my Knight." Naruto introduced and Grayfia raised an eyebrow at that.
"She is part of your peerage? I thought she was Jiraiya-sama's."
"Yeah. Sensei took her to the game and she generally works at his office. So all assume that." Naruto explained and Miya gave Grayfia a wide smile.
"Next comes my very own Rook. Kana. She is the one we found in my office back then." Naruto said and Kana gave a sheepish smile with a nod.
"And then comes the very goddess Ajuka is scared about. Medusa." Naruto said and Medusa walked forward and Grayfia expected Medusa to bow to her in respect. But Medusa turned to Naruto and bowed to him in gratitude.
"Yeah, she likes me a lot," Naruto said with a cheeky smile.
"Here is the newest edition to the club. Saeko-chan. My new Knight." Naruto said with pride and Saeko bowed in respect.
"And there are those 2. Roygun and Alice. They are Sensei's people. With Roygun being his Bishop and Alice being his Pawn." Naruto introduced and both Alice and Roygun nodded in respect.
"Thanks for your time, girls." Naruto thanked and all of them nodded and dispersed to do their jobs.
"So you still have many pieces to fill," Grayfia said in a conversational tone.
"Yep. And I have my eyes set on the Queen." Naruto said cryptically.
"Hmm, who might it be? Devil, Fallen perhaps the Angel who visited maybe?" Grayfia pondered.
"Heh. If I reincarnate Gabriel, not only Heaven, everyone will come for my head. I'm not interested in Angels." Naruto shrugged.
"Hmm. That's bad. I would have suggested quite a few great people from there." Grayfia said in disappointment.
"I do know some, but can't say I'll find anyone you may suggest on my side. As we fight for different things." Naruto explained and Grayfia turned to him.
"What do you fight for?"
"Balance."
"Balance of what?"
"Everything. From my childhood, I have grown up in very unfortunate circumstances. When Sensei came into my life, he was the beacon to me. He trained me, he shared his ideals with me.
He made me the man I'm today. He only had one thing to pass on. When you have peace, we all prosper. It became my goal from then. I want to bring peace to this world." Naruto explained passionately.
Grayfia can see the love and determination the blonde had for his goal and was mesmerised. The look of determination in those cerulean eyes is so enticing, she just want to hug them and never leave.
"That's great. I'm happy to hear at least one of us is aspiring for peace. With such a lofty goal, don't you think you need a strong peerage?"
"I do. My Queen is a little cautious. If only I could push her." Naruto sighed.
"What made you conclude that?"
"Hmm. Many things. Maybe I should take her on another date soon."
"Speaking of dates, shall we go on our second one soon?" Naruto asked, changing the topic and Grayfia internally felt relieved about the change in topic.
"Yes. But I don't think you will have much time." She said with a teasing smile.
"Oh, I'll make time. Don't worry. I'll send you the spot soon." Naruto said and Grayfia nodded. A moment of awkward silence fell upon them.
"So are you leaving?" Naruto asked, breaking the silence and Grayfia nodded.
"I'm not going to Gremory estate as I don't want to disturb them." Grayfia blurted and Naruto nodded with a smile.
"You know, I didn't see your home." He started and Grayfia gave him a thinking pose.
"Mmm, yes. You didn't. Maybe I should show you." Grayfia said and Naruto smirked at the theatrics.
"Let's go!" He called as a silver magic circle lit beneath them.
And Cut.
