Chapter 173 - Arrival at the Gremory mansion

After Tatsuya was done reprimanding Tiamat and Kurumi all of them decided to go to go for a bath as the Gremory group was covered in sweat and dirt.

Tatsuya who was done undressing looked at the others and then his eyes fell on his not so masculine brother.

"Gasper, hurry up and take off your clothes, you have to take a bath. You cannot go back to the Gremory territory if you are dirty."

Gasper looked at Tatsuya with a blushing face and then said, "But it's very embarrassing, here."

Tatsuya then said, "If you don't do it here then where are you planning on taking your bath, the women's section?"

Gasper then with a bit of hesitation in his voice said, "C-Can I?"

Tatsuya walked towards him and placed a hand on his shoulder and then said, "Gasper you are a man right?"

Gasper looked at him and nodded his head. Seeing that Tatsuya nodded and then said, "Then as a proud man you shouldn't be embarresed to take off your clothes in front of other men. Be confident in yourself. Besides,"

Tatsuya then placed his other hand on his shoulder and said, "Do you really think that I will let any other man see my girls while bathing. Looks like you are in for some punishment Gasper-kun." and smiled.

Seeing his smile Gasper shuddered and tried to run away and even used his Sacred gear unconciously but it didn't affect Tatsuya and he used his telekinesis to stop Gasper and then undressed him and took him to the hot spring.

Gasper who was just covered in a towel and that to upto his waist was very embarresed and some tears were formed in his eyes.

Seeing that Tatsuya sighed and hugged Gasper and consoled himself and then slowly descended in the hot water with Gasper in his embrace.

Once Gasper calmed down Tatsuya made him sit beside him and told him relax properly like a man and himself sat back in a relaxing position.

Tatsuya could hear the girls asking him to come up to their side but he just ignored them and relaxed with the Kiba and Gasper while he just gave a bottle of sake to Azazel who minded his own business after that.

Soon Tatsuya sat up and started chatting with Kiba and Gasper making Gasper more open to the rest of them while the girls who had finally given up on calling Tatsuya simply chatted with eachother.

--------------------

Once all of them were clean and refreshed they all left the hot spring and then got into some carriages which belonged to the Gremory household and continued their journey, while Azazel just teleported to Sirzechs's office to discuss about the meeting.

Tatsuya and his group who were kept in a different carriage then Rias's peerage were chatting to each other. Tatsuya then became serious and said, "Be careful from here on out we are in Zeotif.u.c.ks territory now, we don't know what all he might have planned. Although, I doubt he will be at his home thanks to my special gift."

Hearing that all of them nodded and then chuckled on thinking what Tatsuya did to the Gremory head. They were thinking that he must be quite frustrated since he cannot get close to any woman.

Suddenly all of them looked at the person who was sitting beside Tatsuya with a glare while Tatsuya just smiled wryly.

Miyuki then said, "I don't know what are you doing here, if you are the maid of the family Shouldn't you be in their carriage instead."

The silver haired maid who was sitting beside Tatsuya with a cold expression on her face said, "It is my duty as the maid to not let the guests feel uncomfortable so I am simply making sure of that while also protecting Tatsuya-sama from hungry bitc- *cough**cough*wolves.

Hearing that the girl's brows twitched and all of them thought, 'You are the most 'hungry' amongst all of us.'

Kurumi then pointed at Tatsuya's arm which was enclosed between Grayfia's b.r.e.a.s.ts and said, "And what do you have to say about that?"

Grayfia looked at Tatsuya's hand and then after a while said, "I am just preventing him from doing something indecent to all of you by making sure that he is unable to move his hand. No need to thank me, it is my duty to take care of the guests." and looked back at them with a 'smile' which soon turned into her usual cold expression.

Seeing her smile the rest of them became a bit pissed and then Himari looked at Tatsuya and said, "Why are you not saying anything to her?"

Tatsuya blinked his for a while and then nodded his head. He looked at Grayfia and then with the other hand which was free, patted her head and said, "Good job, Fia." and smiled at her.

Being patted by her Grayfia mouth curled up in a smile and she just nodded her head.

Seeing the two of them the rest of them just sighed and stopped thinking about the matter. They knew that they were currently in the Grayfia's home ground and in this place she has a lot of power over them.

Soon the Gremory mansion came in their sight and Grayfia reluctantly released Tatsuya's hand and said, "I shall be going now, I have to make the preparations for the arrival."

She said and then teleported away to the mansion.

Seeing her leave Tatsuya just sat back comfortably and said, "Miyuki freeze up the pursuers and kill them without leaving behind any trace of them."

Miyuki just nodded as she too felt the devils who were appeared as soon as Grayfia teleported from the carriage. A magic circle then formed in her hand and all of a sudden the group of devils who were following them froze up and then crumbled up in fine pieces and died without leaving any traces.

Tatsuya nodded and said, "Good job Miyuki."

Miyuki just smiled and nodded her head.

Tatsuya then used his psychic powers and found the service which was installed in their carriage that the devils used to know when Grayfia left the carriage. He just took it in his hand and crushed it breaking it's connection.

He then looked outside the window and said, "If the same number of people will come daily during our stay then I guess the whole territory's population will be a problem."

He then took out his silver gun and pointed it towards the devils who were either hiding or flying above them acting as their 'guards' and started firing each one of them down one by one with his mist dispersion.

Once he was done he put his gun back and said, "Most of Zeoticus's own force is gone now."

He then felt that the carriage stopped moving and said, "Looks like we reached at our destination.' and then looked at the door and saw it suddenly open by one of the butlers.

Tatsuya just nodded at the girls and stepped off the carriage and after making sure that everything was fine he helped the girls to step off the carriage.

All of them then walked towards the Gremory group who have 'surprisingly' reached the mansion 15 minutes before them.

Tatsuya looked at Rias and said, "Well Looks like our carriage was quite slow, compared to yours." He then looked around the mansion and then said, "Also don't you think that the security is pretty lax?"

Rias nodded as well and then said, "I have been wondering that as well, there are very few people who have been stationed here. This has never happened before."

Tatsuya just looked at his group and then said, "I wonder why." and the girls smiled at his comment.

Rias the smiled and then said, "Well, leaving that aside let's get going." and started walking towards her house leading the others.

Grayfia who was standing beside the door opened it and bowed towards the others and said, "Welcome home Rias-sama and her family." She then looked at Tatsuya's group and said, "Welcome to the Gremory manor." and then moved aside to let the path be cleared for them.

The other just nodded and entered the house and were surprised by the number of maids and butlers bowing to them.

Suddenly all of them heard a voice and turned their heads. A small boy with the same hair as Rias's was running towards them with an excited smile on his face.

"Rias nee-sama!"

Rias who heard him call her name smiled and opened her arms to take him in a hug, but the boy just went passed her making her completely speechless.

"TATSUYA ONII-CHAN!!!"

And the boy jumped at Tatsuya with a very happy smile on his face.

Tatsuya just smiled at the boy and caught him in his hands.

"Calm down Millicas, I am very happy to see you as well"

Millicas just hugged Tatsuya and said, "I missed you a lot Onii-chan. Did you bring anything for me? Did you bring anything for me?"

Tatsuya just smiled and said, "Of course I brought gifts for you, afterall you are my favorite young devil, but let's see your gifts later."

Hearing that Millicas pouted bit still nodded his head. Tatsuya smiled and him and then patted his head and said, "Now I think that you should introduce yourself to the others, there are a few amongst us who do not know you." Tatsuya then put Millicas down on the floor and Millicas immediately went to his formal mode and gave a bow and said, "It is very nice to meet you all, my name is Millicas Gremory. I hope that we all get along."

Tatsuya then looked at Rias and said, "Rias your turn."

Rias who have been standing with her arms open wide came back to reality and then immediately turned around and said, "Meet him guys, he is my brother's son."

Suddenly she realized something and said, "Wait a minute, how are Millicas and Tatsuya know each other."

Tatsuya just smiled and patted Milicas's head and said, "Well we have met quite a number of time in the past, he is a regular customer you know. Also he is just like my little brother."

As he said that all of them including the maids and butlers smiled at him and Millicas except for Rias and Gasper.

Rias who was surprised to know that her nephew knew about Tatsuya before her and Gasper who mumbled, "My little brother position is in danger."

Koneko who was standing beside him placed a hand on his shoulder making him freak out a bit. He then turned her head and saw Koneko looking at him.

Koneko then said, "I know how you feel, I also have to fight for the lap, take it as a advice from a Senpai, never give up or you will lose your position." and then looked back at the others.

Gasper looked at Millicas for a while and then thought, 'I will not lose to you.'

After the new members were done introducing them to Millicas they all started to walk again with Millicas taking the lead.

Soon they reached a room and Millicas rushed inside and shouted, "Rias nee-sama has came."

Insode the room they all saw a brow haired woman who looked similar to Rias in both age and appearance.

Seeing her walk towards them with a smile Rias smiled as well and walked a step forward and opened her hands but before she was able to open them the woman went passed Rias and hugged Tatsuya and said, "Long time no see Tatsuya-kun." Tatsuya nodded his head and said, "Yeah, long time no see Venelana-san."

Meanwhile the rest of them were trying to hold back their laugh on seeing a redheaded girl who was standing in between the room with her arms open wide.
