----------

Observing her, Millicas couldn't help but appreciate the benefits of the Body Tune-Up perk.

Ruby had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, taller, her hair longer, and her curves more defined. She now looked how she did in the later volumes of the show.

In a flash of her semblance, the small huntress in training materialized sitting on her new king's lap, surrounded by rose petals. "Did you miss me, Millicas?" she asked with a radiant smile.

Millicas chuckled, "We literally saw each other yesterday, Ruby."

Pouting playfully, Ruby turned her gaze to her fellow redhead before hugging him tightly, her face against his chest. "Well, I did miss you."

Her crush on Millicas, which had developed after he saved her mother, had grown rapidly.

Unlike the restrained love of Tarte or Kiara, Ruby embraced her feelings openly and unabashedly.

Hearing Kiara's soft laughter and seeing Tarte's jealous expression at Ruby's affectionate display, Millicas checked the time and decided it was time to move.

Patting Ruby's head gently, he stood up and addressed his companions, "As much as I enjoy relaxing with all of you lovely ladies, we have a prior appointment to keep."

Receiving a set of nods and a soft disappointed sound from his pawn Millicas made his way to one of the living room corners where their permanent Teleportation Circle was set up.

'I shouldn't have said anything, Mi-chan is going to kill me!' Rias thought as she endured the oppressive aura that had settled inside the occult research clubroom.

The elegantly decorated room of the Kuoh Academy old school building that she had chosen as the main clubroom was normally one of the places she could relax with her dear friends while working on her different responsibilities as one of Kuoh's second owners.

Any other day she would be sitting on her desk going over the paperwork with Akeno while Yuuto and Koneko sat on one of the couches relaxing between going out to check in with their regular contractors and responding to new summons.

Some days Sona and Tsubaki would visit for a chat and a game of chess but except for that, her day-to-day usage of the room was comfortably predictable.

She was expecting today to be outside of the norm as she had convinced Mi-chan to visit her with his peerage so she could meet them properly.

Already having met her little brother's bishop Rias was looking forward to meeting Doctor Sesshouin again and the fact that Mi-chan had told her that he may have more possible members of his peerage join him by today made her even more excited for the meeting.

She was so excited in fact that she had made a terrible mistake.

Last night while talking to her older brother over the phone like she did every week since moving to the human world the topic of Mi-chan had come up.

(Last Night)

"I'm glad you are doing okay Rias, are you sure you don't need anything?" Sirzechs said over the phone.

"I'm fine Nii-sama, I can take care of myself."

Rias responded while brushing her hair, the phone she was using to talk with her older brother floating by her side.

"I know Rias but you can't fault me for worrying about you. Kuoh may be your devil territory but that doesn't mean you are 100% safe from harm and danger there." Her big brother said kindly.

"That reminds me, why didn't you tell me that Mi-chan was moving to Kuoh last week?" She asked him.

"Well, I wanted it to be a surprise." Rias could hear the smile in Sirzechs' voice. "How is Millicas doing?

He hasn't called home since arriving there and has only sent us a text or two to let us know he is fine."

"He looked happy when I saw him with his Bishop last Sunday."

"Bishop?" Sirzechs said as if he couldn't understand the term.

It was at that moment that Rias understood that if Millicas hadn't called home to let his parents know how he was doing he may have not notified them of other things.

"Oh, you didn't know he already added his first piece to his peerage by the time we met last Sunday, an older woman around her mid-twenties, really beautiful and intelligent from what I could tell, she is a psychologist." She explained.

"How did he recruit his first piece in less than a day?" Sirzechs questioned his sister.

"Oh, you are going to love this." Rias began, a smile finding its way onto her pretty face as she imagined Nii-sama's expression.

"Remember all the times Mi-chan would sneak out into the human world and how much Grayfia-nee would complain about him wasting his time playing around the humans while dodging his lessons?"

"Believe me Rias I remember," Sirzechs answered with a heavy sigh.

"He was doing contracts and scouting future peerage members, even going as far as to recruit some of them to be resurrected once he got his evil pieces.

He told me that by the end of the week, he would have 2 or 3 members if all went well. We agreed to meet up in my clubroom tomorrow so our peerages could meet properly."

(Present)

Their conversation had gone for a couple of extra minutes afterwards before her Nii-sama had to leave for dinner but Rias hadn't considered at the time the ramifications of letting her older brother know about today's meeting.

Looking at the other occupants of her clubroom Rias could only hope that Mi-chan would give her enough time to blame her idiotic Nii-sama for the current situation before Millicas had the chance to let her know if he was angry at the unexpected development or not.

'There is no chance in heaven that he isn't angry once he realizes what is going on!' She lamented silently.

Millicas had given her enough noogies over the years to last her a lifetime whenever she truly made him angry.
