Like that, my crazy morning ended a

Like that, my crazy morning ended and I was now in the living room on the first floor. It was time for breakfast. Having my mum as their leader, most of the girls were helping her set up the table. So today we were having fried eggs, Miso-soup and salmon huh. So a Japanese menu then. We have a rotation of Japanese, European and Chinese food for breakfast. All the girls work so hard in making them, I always have my stomach filled with delicious food every morning. I really am a lucky guy!
“You know. Daddy’s favourite time is when we have food. Everyone is good at making food so they are all delicious. Women say “The way to a man's heart is through his stomach”. You know what I mean, right Ise?”
Dad said that with a smiling face while eating the food.
“I do! I really do understand dad!”
I nodded my head. My daily dining was fun! I'm surrounded by bishoujos! I eat food made by bishoujos! I eat while chatting with bishoujos! It was an ideal life right? This was the moment when I felt that it was great to be born as a guy!
“This is your bento[1] Ise.”
Rias put a lunchbox in front of me while wearing a really big smile. Mum, Rias, Asia and Akeno-san rotate their shifts for making food for lunch. Koneko-chan, Xenovia, Irina, and Rossweisse mainly eat so they don’t participate. They sometimes go to the kitchen but they can’t compete with the “Four-Heavenly Kings” of the kitchen. The four-kings are mum, Rias, Asia and Akeno-san. Especially Asia who has something special in her cooking and is said to be the number one candidate for being passed down the “Taste of the house of Hyoudou” by my mum. Like that, they rotate making the food for the lunch box. But lately, Rias is the one making lunch for me. Apparently the girls decided to leave the cooking for me to Rias. Rias also makes a bento-box for me every time with a really happy face. The lunch-box always has food that has been made with lots of care and has a heart mark on it and they always taste delicious. It is the best!
“Ise getting a lunch-box that is only made by Rias-san…… You are doing well, Ise.”
Dad said that while nodding his head! A lunch-box made from a beloving-wife! That’s what I would like to say, but Matsuda and Motohama also said “Did your wife make that bento!?” by looking at a bento made by Asia and Akeno-san as well. So how should I put it…….?
“Maybe you would call it “A bento made from the legal-wife”………. Since I’m living in the Hyoudou’s residence as well, there might be a time when I have to show the cooking of my mother-land.”
Rossweisse-san said that while putting her hands on her chin. Her homeland…… What kind of food does Valhalla have? But I should be happy since the variation of food will increase. While I couldn’t get rid of my smile, Ravel came into my sight. She was filling a lunchbox with food. It’s not the lunchbox Ravel usually uses…… Who’s is it?
“Oi, Ravel. Whose lunchbox is that?’
“This is a lunchbox for Gasper-san. It seems like he’s doing morning training by himself.”
“Morning training!? Gya-suke is!?”
I made a very shocked exclamation! Morning training!? By himself!? This is a shocking revelation! Rias then says this while taking a seat next to me.
“In the last match, he said he felt his lack of strength. So he’s doing his own training besides the training he does with you and Yuuto. Gasper is doing basic training so it won't put pressure on his body.”
The last match…… So the battle against the Bael team. It was something we couldn't talk about in detail because my parents were here. Then Akeno-san continued.
“Gasper said he wants to master his strength and reach that “stage”. For that he said he will train his body from the basics, so he does muscle training and running in the morning.”
He wants to reach that “stage”….. So he wants to attain Balance-Breaker for his Sacred-Gear. Is that so…… So he was concerned about the last match that much. But he fought very well. He showed us that he is a man. Even so, Gyasuke couldn’t forgive himself for his lack of power. He is a guy after all. I know how you feel Gyasuke. Being weak is something guys can't forgive themselves for. I will also help him as much as I can. As the guys of the Gremory group, Gyasuke, Kiba and me have to be strong enough to protect the girls!
Xenovia then said this with serious eyes.
“Yes. He is a man. He will definitely get strong.”
The one who received the most support from Gyasuke was Xenovia. The one who saved Xenovia who was cornered by having her guard down was Gyasuke. But…….
“I don’t want to imagine him being all muscular……..”
In my head, I combined Mil-tan’s body and Gyasuke’s head. I can imagine him being a creature from “Fist of the North Star”.
“Osu! Ise-senpai! I have attained the fist of a vampire! When I mix protein with Ise-senpai’s blood, it becomes good for my muscles! Look at these splendid biceps! Ooooooooosu!!”
What should I do if that happens……. Well, I don’t think it would go that far. But increasing your basic stats was a good thing. Even I can go around the battle-field in Balance-Break state without having any stress on my body. You need to start with body training and sprinting first.
“……Koneko-san? You don’t look so well?”
Hmm? Ravel is looking at Koneko-chan’s face. Just like Ravel said, Koneko-chan doesn’t look too well. Her face is a bit red and she looks like she’s in pain. Is it a flu?
“……It’s nothing.”
Koneko-chan replied immediately. Even so Ravel put her hand on Koneko-chan’s forehead and looked worried.
“But your face is a bit red. Is it a flu? Then I will make a special apple sorbet that has been passed down from the house of Phoenix for you. Apples made from our family’s territory have arrived from my house. Using that, I will make it for you!”
Koneko-chan moves Ravel’s hand and then says…….
“…….That’s an unwelcome favour.”
Hearing that Ravel got so mad that her drill hair started rotating.
“Nmaaa! To reject the good intentions of other people! Cats must feel good because they can live how they want to!”
“……I don’t want to be told that by a bird brain like you.”
“…..Bi-bird brain!? If I remember, in Japan bird brain is someone who forgets things right away, correct……?”
“…….It seems like you are studying very well, so I will praise you.”
“Nmaaa! This cat-girl…….!”
Hahaha…… The quarrels between these two have become a daily thing as well. They argue like this all the time. But its not that they don’t get along. Koneko-chan also helps Ravel everyday and Ravel also depends on Koneko-chan. They must be good fighting buddies. I’m also having fun seeing Koneko-chan acting like this. While I was looking at them with a smile, mum whispers into my ears.
“By the way Ise.”
“……What is it mum?”
I drank a cup of water. Then mum said it the same time.
“When can I see my grandchild?”
BOOOOOOOOOOOO! The water sprinkled out of my mouth like a mist! After wiping my mouth I responded in a high tone.
“Wha……. Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-what are you saying!?”
Seriously what was this “mother” thinking!? You wouldn’t normally come out of the blue and ask about a grandchild!? Mum then said it with a serious face.
“That’s because…….. In this house, you call Rias-san, “Rias”….. So that’s what it is isn’t it? I think my grandchild can also have a Japanese name. You know there are Japanese names that don’t sound weird even in other countries. So by having a girl she could have a cute name like that! For example “Eri” or “Mari”!”
You already planned that far ahead!? It’s early! It’s too early for that!? What is she thinking!?
“I’m saying that it’s too early for a grandchild and their names!”
I just confessed! Let me progress our relationship naturally! Just look at me and Rias with warm eyes! See!? Everyone is looking at us and laughing! Rias on other hand is really shy right now, so much so that her face is really red!
“I-I’m really happy right now! Right now I don’t care about a grandchild! I only care about Rias!”
I said that strongly to mum! Rias then holds my hand.
“I-I’m also happy right now. Just being next to Ise……makes me really happy.”
Rias smiles at me with a red face.
“…….Rias.”
“Ise……..”
Rias and I stared at each other. What a magnificent woman! I’m so happy that I could die because both of us are in love with each other! Aaah, Rias. Aaaah, Rias!! She’s beautiful and cute!
“This is what you call a “Baka-uple”.[2] But try to act normal at school.”
Rossweisse-san stated calmly while drinking coffee! She turns into a teacher at times like this!
Koneko-chan is staring at me and Rias. She then looks down.
“……Grandchild…….Baby……. Happiness…….”
She says that with a low voice.
...........? She doesn’t look too energetic. Is there something wrong with Koneko-chan?
