"Naru-tan!" a male voice shouted frantically.
A man around his early twenties with the same hair and skin tone as Naruko with blue-green eyes ran around the manor of the Gremory in search of one person.
His most precious youngest sister.
"Naru-tan!" he shouted as he lifted the toilet seat.
"Naru-tan!" he shouted, lifting his Griffin familiar as it squawked in surprise.
"Naru-tan!" he shouted from the roof of the manor until someone wacked him on the head, "Ow, that hurt Grayfia," he told the Gremory maid/his most lovely and hot, very hot, wife.
Grayfia was a beautiful woman appearing to be in her early twenties, with silver hair and matching eyes. Her hair, which flows all the way down to her back, features a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest is let down, ending in twin braids. She mainly wore a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head, with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory.
Or was otherwise known as the Strongest Queen .
"You're being far too noisy Sirzechs-sama." She said in her usual no non-sense attitude.
"But, but, what if my little Naru-tan needs her Onii-tan!" he wailed with a sniffle as he took out a picture of his younger sisters sleeping together cutely and rubbed it against his cheek.
Grayfia just shook her head, why did her master/husband have to be such a siscon?
And it didn't help that Naruko was somewhat of a brocon at times either.
She still remembered the times when the younger girl tried to 'assassinate' the maid so she could marry her 'Onii-tan'.
Truly the Gremory clan took affection to new heights with somewhat frightening results.
"Onii-tan!" a shout came from the courtyard where the two turned to see Naruko walking towards the main door along with her friend Ravel Phenex.
In a split second Sirzechs was by her side and they performed an epic twirl hug… of epicness!
"Naru-tan!"
"Onii-tan!"
They cheered in their sis/brocon fashion.
Ravel sighed a bit at something she had gotten far too used to.
Grayfia was there in a second as well and bowed, "Welcome home Ojou-sama, Ravel-sama." She announced in a professional manner befit of her maid title.
"Hello Grayfia-san." Ravel said politely back with a small bow.
"Hi Grayfia-nee." Naruko waved cheerfully.
It wasn't that she hated the maid, nope, she loved her really. But if she wanted to marry her Onii-tan, the maid would have to go.
It was just business.
A being of the height of about two meters with a body resembling that of a horse or deer, but with red scales instead of fur and a face that resembled that of a red Asian Dragon, walked up to them.
"Ah, Enku." Sirzechs said cheerfully towards his Kirin Pawn piece.
The Kirin nodded towards his King, "Greetings your Majesty, Grayfia-sama. I was wondering where Ojou-sama and Ravel-sama had left too, but I see they've returned." He said with a nod to one of his two charges and her friend, but took a sniff, "Why do you both smell of fresh blood?" he asked politely, but it held a worrying tone as well.
Sirzechs' eyes widened and started turning Naruko around and upside down to find any wounds frantically while shouting out worrying older brother things.
"Uwa, dizzy." Naruko said as her eyes spiraled in a comedic fashion.
Grayfia took Naruko from her master and placed her younger lady on the ground, "Are you okay?" she asked in concern.
Naruko nodded, "Yeah, we just went into the off-limits part of the forest Otou-sama told me about is all." She said honestly, not seeing a problem with it.
Sirzechs panicked, "What?!" he shouted
Naruko just waved it off, "We just ran into some wolves is all, beat them easily." She said with a smile.
She forgot to mention they were the ten feet tall ones, but meh, no biggie.
The adults and Kirin sighed at this, the youngest Gremory always did find it fun to break the rules or do something dangerous at times.
Sirzechs was about to reprimand her, but the younger Gremory spoke up before him.
"Oh yeah! Ravvy said she would be my Queen, she practically begged me!" Naruko announced excitedly.
Ravel flushed, "I did not! You begged me and everything!" she shouted back in an unlady-like manner.
Naruko gave Ravel a pitying look, "Of course Ravvy, of course." She said as the fire bird devil's eye twitched at dangerous levels for a 7 year old.
The adults blinked in surprise, they knew that Rias had gotten her Queen, that Fallen Angel girl Akeno, but for Naruko to get her Queen already too? Heh, guess she was a bit jealous.
Typical Naruko to be honest.
But to make a member of the Phenex clan a Queen of the Peerage of the Gremory clan? Tactically that was a good idea for children around their age, but it would be hard to figure out what Lord Phenex would say about his only daughter doing that. It would help solidify the bridge between the two clans even more than it already is along with the fact that Rias and Riser would marry later on to complete it.
Bah, devil politics.
Gotta hate them.
"That sounds wonderful!" Sirzechs cheered as he picked both girls up, "Welcome to the family Ravel!" he said with his charming boyish smile that made the ladies just melt.
Ravel blushed a little at the attention but smiled at the Maou none the less.
"Yeah! Just you wait Grayfia-nee, Ravvy'll be taking the Strongest Queen title from you, no problems!" the redhead said in confidence.
Grayfia smiled at that and sent it towards Ravel, who felt a bit of a chill run down her spine, "I look forward to the challenge." She simply said.
After putting the children down, but not before giving Naruko one big final hug, he and Grayfia left to do some Maou business.
The girls ran into the house to go get Naruko's Evil Pieces, but ran into both Rias and her new Queen Himejima Akeno.
Rias looked just like an older Naruko but with blue-green likes like their brother and parents while Akeno held a light skin tone, long black hair in a ponytail with two antennae sticking out from the top and sloping backwards, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place along with a pair of violet eyes.
"Ah, Naruko, Ravel." Rias said with a smile, while she may not like Riser, she liked Ravel since she was her imouto's best friend.
"Hi Onee-chan, Akeno-san." Naruko said, but puffed out her little chest, "Hey, guess what? Ravvy said she would be my Queen!" she said with a big smile.
Ravel smiled as well while the two older girls looked in surprise.
Rias looked thoughtful and the idea of having a member of the Phenex clan as a Queen? Well it was a bit scary.
"Ara, it seems you'll have to watch out for your imouto Rias-chan, she's already got her Queen, just like you." Akeno said with a smile and closed eyes.
Naruko smiled, "Yep, my Peerage is going to be way stronger then Onee-chan's. It has to be if I wanna become a Maou." She said with a nod to herself.
Rias pouted at her sister, "Oh yeah, well, I'll have a full Peerage way before you." She said, setting the bar.
Naruko smiled, "Oh? Is that a bet I hear Onee-chan?" she asked with a devil smile.
Rias gulped a bit actually, it was a rule in the Gremory mansion, do not bet with Naruko, you can just never win.
Seriously, it was why their older brother took her to his Maou poker games since she just cleaned house!
Though Grayfia-nee-san always berated him afterwards.
With her prize has risen of course!
"No!" Rias said frantically, but covered it up quickly and coughed into her hand, "Just a fact is all since I'll be going to the human world a bit more often." She said as she crossed her arms, "And I'll find more of my Peerage that way."
Naruko did the same and crossed her arms with a pout since she had yet to even go to the human world.
"So! I'll be going too soon and I'll find the bestest Peerage ever!" she announced boldly.
Sparks flew between the two sisters due to their competitive nature huffed with a smile, they were going to win!
"Well I got to go find my Queen piece and give it to Ravvy, see ya Onee-chan, Akeno-san!" she said with a wave and grabbed Ravel's hand to run to her room.
As they left, Akeno let out a laugh, "Ufufu, your imouto is so cute." She said with a gentle smile.
Rias nodded, it was true, she just loved to spoil her so much due to her cuteness.
"Come on, let's go train, I don't want to let my little sister get ahead of me." she said as there was no way she was going to lose to her sister, no matter how cute she was.
Akeno just smiled, she was really lucky to become a member of the Gremory Peerage.
