Grayfia: Would You Like to Become My Family?

After all, the mission was already accomplished, and he had tried his best to leave a deep impression on Grayfia in a short period of time.

Although there were other options available at the time.

For example, something related to a forced kiss, or something more.

However, doing so might indeed deepen Grayfia's impression of him, but it's best to avoid that kind of bad impression.

"Is it really because demons have poor memories, or is it due to the influence of historical revisionism?"

Just as Ren was deep in thought, a strange light flashed in Grayfia's eyes.

"It seems you've failed, Mr. Ren, but it doesn't matter. In that case, let's drop this small matter. Perhaps I just mistook Ren for an old friend of mine."

After saying that, Grayfia stood up and then spoke to Ren.

"Mr. Ren, I apologize for making you come all this way. If you would like, you are welcome to stay at my house. I have already instructed my servants to prepare a feast for you."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I may have to leave for a while before the banquet begins."

After saying that, Grayfia started walking towards the door, and Ren agreed without thinking. He wanted to investigate what was going on.

On one hand, he was curious why Grayfia didn't remember him. Was it due to the influence of demonic memory or the power of historical correction? On the other hand, although the task issued by the system had been completed, the person involved was obviously not satisfied. He couldn't ruin his reputation for a 100% success rate for such a small matter.

After all, as a qualified mercenary, he comes with after-sales service.

After Grayfia left, two maids from the Lucifuge family came to escort Ren.

"Lord Ren, Lady Grayfia instructed us to serve you in every way here. So, would you like to rest or soak in the hot springs? The hot springs at Lucifuge's house are quite effective for relieving fatigue and restoring strength. Lady Grayfia specifically asked us to make sure to introduce them to you."

"Let's go soak in the hot springs then."

He'd gotten tired of the scenery, so he figured he might as well go soak in a hot spring to clear his head.

Not long after, accompanied by two maids, Ren entered the bathroom and put on a bathrobe.

"Then, Lord Ren, we'll take our leave now. Please call us if you need anything, and we'll be waiting outside."

Ren didn't care.

The bathroom in the Lucifuge family's house was less of a bathroom and more like a huge open-air hot spring.

Leaving aside the overall area, the pool alone is more than enough to accommodate 30 to 50 people.

It's so big, it feels quite spacious for one person to soak in.

It would be great if Rias, Lavinia, and Akeno Himejima were here too.

Because of the monster attack, all the girls he knew happened to be gathered in the Underworld at this time. It was a rare opportunity, and he really wanted to suggest that they all take a mixed bath together.

I imagine they wouldn't refuse.

Although having a lot of people might prevent you from doing anything else, at least it's pleasing to the eye.

But before that, we need to solve the problem of Grayfia's amnesia.

The worst-case scenario is that he traveled to another timeline, left an impression on Grayfia in that timeline, but returned to his own main world upon his return.

If that's the case, then the joke has gone a bit too far.

Although Ren was a bit of a jerk when it came to women, the thought of making a woman wait for him for hundreds of years made him deliver a cool speech at the end before disappearing without a trace.

This isn't just being scum; it's downright inhuman.

Just as Ren was pondering a solution, the bathroom door behind him was opened.

At first, Ren thought it was the two demon maids outside the door, but he quickly sensed the different aura and turned around in surprise, only to meet Grayfia, who was walking towards him, face to face.

"Grayfia?"

"Oh, it's Mr. Ren. I didn't expect a man to be here. I was so careless not to check beforehand."

"?"

That's an exaggeration.

Didn't you ask those two maids to recommend this hot spring to me?

It's only been less than ten minutes, how could you forget so quickly?

Do you demons all have such terrible memories?

And why does it feel like something's off with Grayfia right now?

"But since we're already here, and this is a rare opportunity, let's go to a bar together."

After saying that, Grayfia stepped past Ren across the edge of the bathtub and sat down next to him.

"?"

Although Ren hadn't had much contact with Grayfia, he knew she wasn't a promiscuous woman.

They take the relationship between the sexes, and even the issue of nudity, more seriously than other demons.

But why the sudden change of heart?

Although Rias and Akeno Himejima could also do that in front of Ren.

His relationship with Grayfia didn't seem that close, did it?

However, since he was already there, and especially since the other party had taken the initiative, Ren, out of respect for women, decided to keep his eyes fixed on the person next to him.

It must be said that Grayfia has a very graceful figure, with warm and full curves. Even though she was wrapped in a bath towel, she had a size that could be compared to the Himalayas.

Chapter 434 Grayfia: Will You Be My Family?

However, what happened next surprised Ren even more.

Grayfia calmly untied her bath towel, and the white towel floated naturally on the water's surface. Through the hazy mist, Ren, with his excellent eyesight, could vaguely see Mount Everest, the highest peak in the Himalayas.

A woman with a figure nearly identical to, or even surpassing, Rias's was standing before him.

Ren was immediately taken aback.

If it were Yasaka, Rias, or the others, Ren could understand, but what is Grayfia up to now?

"Mr. Ren, there's something I want to tell you."

"Grayfia said softly."

Their breaths, fragrant as orchids, were enough for Ren to smell the unique scent emanating from Grayfia.

This was a scent unlike any perfume on the market; Ren remembered smelling the same fragrance on her when she was younger.

In addition, Ren also smelled a faint odor of alcohol.

I don't know if it tastes like fermented grains or some kind of fruit.

Have you been drinking?

Just as Ren was thinking this, Grayfia pressed herself against Ren from the side and placed her hand on Ren face.

I once heard a story.

"A lone girl lives in a chaotic place, pursuing her goals, but every day she feels lost about the future. Then one day, a man suddenly appears before her, kidnaps her without explanation, and then talks to her, discussing many things about the future."

"The girl, unsure of the truth, made a promise to the man. But before she could verify it, the man was about to disappear. Although he said they would meet again in the future, he didn't give a definite answer. So, while waiting, the girl tried to verify the truth of the future the man spoke of, and embarked on the path he had guided her on."

"However, for hundreds of years, the girl never heard from him again."

"The girl realized that she had most likely been deceived, but just as she was thinking this, the man suddenly appeared in her field of vision."

"With an indifferent and nonchalant attitude, even after meeting her, he didn't acknowledge her."

"Finally, one night, the girl he once knew lured him to her home, and then... killed him in the midst of a violent storm."

"???"

When Ren first heard this story, he was dismissive. What a cliché plot!

But then I thought, doesn't the girl in the story seem to be the same person as Grayfia?

Listening further, it was indeed the same person!

Just when Ren thought the story would inevitably end with a hamburger-filled ending, Grayfia suddenly pulled a surprise attack on him.

Is this right? This doesn't seem right!

Furthermore, Ren sensed a resentful aura emanating from the side, making him absolutely certain that Grayfia was the girl from the story.

And the man who was finally stabbed was none other than Ren himself!

What is this? A trap?

They're using the guise of offering benefits to then stab him in the back when he's not looking, right?

Ren immediately opened the system map, but found that Grayfia beside him had not turned into a red dot, but was still marked as a green marker representing friendly forces.

"You've regained your memories?"

I asked Ren asked.

I didn't even have the mind to appreciate the feeling of my arms being trapped between the Himalayas.

"It's more accurate to say that he never lost his memory at all, and the memories from hundreds of years ago were never erased."

"Then why did you pretend to have amnesia before?"

Unable to hear those words, Grayfia's face showed undisguised resentment.

"Because of a certain man who once seduced an innocent girl, I first met Mr. Ren during the Rating Game between Rias and Riser. It wasn't until the three-way talks that we officially met face-to-face."

"But Mr. Ren didn't notice me at all back then. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and invited you over, would you have never been able to recognize me?"

Upon hearing this, Ren immediately understood.

But this has nothing to do with him.

Although he had helped Grayfia a little in the past, acted as her mentor, and even left a cool farewell speech, he had no memories of spending time with Grayfia in his memories before returning to the modern world.

After all, the time he traveled to was after he had been asked by Grayfia.

Therefore, he had not traveled back in time before this.

Of course, this can't really be blamed on Grayfia.

After all, in her memory, she had met Ren hundreds of years ago.

The series of events that followed prevented Ren from recognizing her, naturally causing Grayfia to harbor a great deal of resentment.

However, at this moment, or rather, after drinking Grayfia not admit her mistake.

Unable to resist alcohol, she nearly burned down her family's castle when she was young due to drunkenness. So, even if Ren suddenly pulled out a pair of scissors, he wouldn't be surprised.

This was the first time Ren had ever felt a sense of crisis.

Therefore, he was prepared to activate Steel Protection at any time.

His injury is not a big problem, but his second brother cannot be allowed to get hurt.

However, what happened next was not quite what Ren had imagined.

Grayfia moved even closer.

"Do you know how I've lived these past few hundred years? And I've always remembered what you said to me before you left: you said you would shine as brightly as the sun... You are indeed, but what use are you in places where the sun doesn't shine?"

When Grayfia said those words, her eyes held a strong sense of resentment mixed with a hint of lust.

Because of the difference in elevation, Ren didn't see much of the Himalayas, but the peach-shaped curves made Ren younger brother eagerly anticipate the view.

"Do you know? My family members are actually all dead, and some are still missing."

"When you told me about the future of the Underworld and warned me not to interfere or change it, I agreed. But... I still had my own selfish motives, so I tried to persuade my father to join the Reformist Faction with me, but he refused."

"But after I refused, he continued to try to get me to join the Reformist Faction. Not only that, after I joined the Reformist Faction, he publicly declared that I had betrayed the Lucifuge Family. Then, my father died in a war after that."

"I didn't know why my father did that until after that."

After she finished speaking, Grayfia's expression became somewhat dejected.

After hearing this, Ren didn't know what to say.

So, all I could do was lean against her back and soothe her.

He felt Grayfia was almost pressing down on him, gently wriggle.

Then she suddenly looked up and said, "... I want to have a new family, so Mr. Ren, would you like to be my family?"

Without waiting for Ren response, Ren suddenly perked up, because his second brother had been captured.
