PRIVATE CEREMONY Location the Underworld; Capital City of Lilith: Central Tower of Lilim, Top Floor
A week has passed. All the Satans have read the report on Gyutaro. And also approved on his promotion. Since the newly reincarnated devil, he didn't want a huge spectacle. Gyutaro he'd requested a private matter. Between him, his friends, sister, and closest people. Meaning Rin, Sesshomaru, Arella, and Tsurara were invited as well. The Satans understood, and approved at the sickle-devil's request. Right now everyone was there, in the top floor of Lilim. Dressed for the occasion. From Saotome family, with Ranma in a elegant black and gold colored, but formal version of his attire. Even his mother, Nodoka is present. Wearing a fine indigo kimono, with Ranko wearing one as well. Which Nodoka prepared. As Ranko was in her own peerage, another one among them is Kasumi in a cyan kimono. Kodachi in a turquoise dress, while Blake wears a black one, and Shampoo is wearing red, long cheongsam. Kaori and Ukyo wear a different toned, blue kimono. Melanie is a green and white dress, as usual. While Mitlet changed her black gothic lolita dress, for a more formal style. Ren wore a suit with a green tie, and his girl, Nora a pink dress. Lastly Yang she's in a yellowish-orange dress, all of the Saotome Peerage look lovely in their own corner of the room. Next is the Sitri Peerage, being in-between the Saotome and Krichevskoy peerages. Sona she is a black accent, blue dress, standing next to her boyfriend Laharl. Tsubaki, Murayama, Tomoe, Reya, and Momo all in their own style, and colored fine dresses, were standing beside their own boyfriend. Kiba is also present, wearing a stunning black suit. Surrounded by his loving girlfriend, standing with the Sitri Peerage. Kalawarna is in her usual burgundy suit, Miltia in a pure blood red dress, Katase wore a light pink kimono, and Ruruko in a white kimono. Tsubasa, she has a woman suit. Incentuating her figure and charm...even Issei stared, once or twice. Making Tsubasa a bit smug, abiur the praise. Truly lovely dresses, and girls. And lastly the Krichevskoy Peerage. Laharl...while he hates wearing them, even he knew that there's times and places, for such a attire. So he wore a black suit, even pairing it with royal purple tie. Standing in between, all his girls, including Sona. Albedo was standing by the other side of Laharl. Wearing a black version of her usual, white attire. Kneesocks is also wearing a black dress of a strapless style. Zombina along with Cerberus wore a red dress. With Cerberus having their collars on as well. Mizore is in a light purple dress, while Raven is in a purple indigo one-strap dress. Setsuna, Daki, and Kyoko wearing fine, and lovely kimonos. Ruby as much as she didn't want to wear a dress, and Caulifla feeling the same. The two girls, in the end under Belladonna's glare, they did dress in great dresses, with Ruby wearing a reddish black one. And Caulifla a dark magenta dress. Weiss is wearing a very stylized silver dress with snowflake design on it. Asia is wearing a stunning, and almost pure like white dress.
Next is Nero in a red and gold accented, large skirt dress. Morrigan is in a very elegant, and sensual violet dress, fitting her in everyway. Rumi is a sparkling, and eye-catching white and silver strapless dress, all of the Krichevskoy girls were beautiful, and breathtaking. Among them two guests, invited by Gyutaro and Laharl themselves. Those are the Red Emperor, Issei. Whose wearing a simple suit. That he'd borrowed from Laharl-senpai. And lastly the other guest is Gwen Tennyson. She's a bit fluttered, and happy that Laharl invited her, and gave her the lovely light blue dress. As a gift. She loved it, no one has been this nice, patient, and caring about her. Gwen was slowly, giving in to her growing emotions. Regardless these are the only guests for this ceremony. In less of a century, two new Kings. And new House, is about to join the devil pillars. Nodoka, she is very close to finishing the proper, development for the new Saotome House. Now the Shabana House, is soon to rise as well. Sirzech was the most excited. After so many, many years. Devil society was progressing, and advancing. Even with the loss of Azazel, and possible peace talks. At least his people were finally, stepping forwards to greater heights. Soon they might even reach the likes of the Pantheons' own vast numbers. Sirzech, next to Serafall, Falbrim, and Ajuka. Were waiting on the stage of the room, waiting for the guest of honor, and for this ascension ceremony to officially begin.
GYUTARO'S ASCENSION CEREMONY A few moments later. He finally came. Escorted by servents, and a few Eineus-chibis, that are assigned to work in Lilim. Gyutaro stood there, in the main elevator. No longer in his slacky hakama, or with red bands on his wrists and neck. Instead he is wearing a grayish-blue montsuki, a light gray haori, and like colored hakama. But he'd refused to wear shoes. Even after Daki, Kyoko, Towa, Setsuna, and Rin desperately tried to force him into these clothes. In the end, he relented with the exception of not wearing footwear. His yellow and lime green eyes, focused on the stage. Sona already told, and taught him the process through this ceremony. Of course, Daki was there during the education. Making sure that Gyutaro, listened and learned. Hence Gyutaro, he was performimg proper educate, for this ceremony. Once the servents and chibis, started guiding him forward. Gyutaro started walking behind them. As they proceeded to the stage, with a small hand gesture from the Leviathan. Formal music, started to play. Daki and Rin smiled, clapping proudly towards Gyutaro. Laharl, Ren, Ranma, and Issei cheered lightly, for their bro. Everyone else also gave, their congratulations and support towards Gyutaro. Making him a bit bashful. After a bit, he'd reached the stage. Sirzech welcomed the young sickle-devil. He'd expressed a small speech, bestowing honor and praise for Gyutaro. The newest king to join the ranks of newest generations, a promising king. After a...few...more words, Serafall spoke up. Levi-said, "Sir-tan, I think that's quite enough, don't you think?" Sirzech, he realized that he may have babbled on, a bit too much. Clearing his throat, as a Eineus-chibis, presented a bottle of water to the Lucifer. Sirzech looked down. He smiled, took the water and thanked the chibi. After everyone giggled at the little spectacle, that happened in front of everyone. Sirzech, turned towards Ajuka. The Beelzabub nodded. Using a bit of magic, conjuring a briefcase that obviously held the Evil Pieces, that are for Gyutaro. Then Sirzech looked over the small crowd. His sight landing on Ranma. Ranma, he nodded and started making his way to the stage.
He made it to the stage. As the ritual of ascension, is about to begin officially. Just like the one Ranma was apart of, some time ago. Ajuke stood forward. Standing before Gyutaro and Ranma. Creating some set of magical sigils and crest in green light. As a surge of demonic energy, covered both young devils. The briefcase that Ajuka held, was opened and fifteen pieces floated out the briefcase. From pure black, these chest pieces turned lime green, and a welcome surprise happened. Gyutaro's rooks, have become mutate pieces. Quite a win for Gyutaro. Ajuka has finished bounding these pieces to Gyutaro. And Gyutaro gave a pawn piece, as a exchange for his ascension and gaining his own peerage. Now Ranma, regained a free pawn. Everything was done, everyone was cheering for Gyutaro. Daki rush forward, hugging her brother. Congratulating him. Making Gyutaro smile, and very happy. Then came his brother, Laharl, along with his girls. Also Ren, Issei, and Ranma, they also came. They cheered for Gyutaro, as he became a Peerage King at last.
SHORT ADJUSTING Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh
It's been a few days, since Gyutaro's ascension. Everyone is proud of him, much of Gyutaro not admitting that he is a bit embarrassed, by all the attention. Sona has taken to fully teach, Gyutaro of all his responsibilities. Much as his dismay. Aside that things have been going smoothly, for everyone. Ren and Nora were currently on a week long trip, in China. As Ren wanted to give Nora, something special and intimate. Another pair, that has been adjusting well to their new situation, is Mitlet and Kalawarna. Mitlet, she finally found her purpose. Diligently training under Lady Cologne, Ranma, and Shampoo. She became more skilled, plus dungeon crawling has made her a high-mid class fallen. She'd even sprouted a new pair of wings, signaling her rise in power. Nodoka even taken to treat her, like a daughter. Making the blond gothic loli, very close to her. Mitlet found peace, along with a much better life, than when she was with the Grigori. In fact, she and Kalawarna were actually glad, that crap of a faction was all but disbanded. Meanwhile with Kalawarna. She grew to respect Lady Sona greatly. Seems that the Sitri heiress, has a nack for earning the recognition of strong women. Case in point, Tsubaki, and the others. Miltia, Tsubaki, and Kalawarna herself, became Sona most trusted. Working always by her side. Aside from paperwork, organizing, and other office like skills. Kalawarna also proud a strong, and great addition to Sona's peerage in combat as well. She'd used her experiences to help Sona, better strategize and plan battles out. Alongside Tsubaki, these two women became strong pillars, for the peerage. Kalawarna obviously has grown in many ways, and is proud of it. Truly these fallen, were better off. Another thing, Nabiki has been quite aggressive, on her pursues lately. Still eager to enchant Laharl, earn a spot in his peerage. Live a good life. Rich, secure, a great man by her side, and soo much more. Whenever she leaves school, she'd immediate goes on the hunt for Laharl...it was quite a spectacle. Ranma has managed to learn a lot about Nabiki. Both personally, and through the manga and anime that Laharl gave him. He's never seen her like this. Seems that wealth is only a bonus...this time. Another set big things that happened since. First everyone favorite, Invincible Girl, Pyrrah Nikos, she finally joined a peerage. After she'd left Remnant. She went on her own, living a quiet and average life. Gaining a large number of friends, experiencing things as a normal teenage girl. And even scored some modeling offers, at first she was too shy. But with Sona, and Nora always by her side. She slowly came out of her shell, blossoming into a great woman. Once she felt satisfied, she'd returned to Kuoh. And joined Sona's peerage, as she is Pyrrah's best friend and benefactor. Thus the Sitri Peerage, grew by one more member. Pyrrah, she finally found a home. Along with several sisters, that welcomed her back. She'd immediate moved to the Sitri Mansion. Becoming reacquainted with everyone, as it's been a long, long time, since they spoke. Blake, and Yang were the most happy for her, and Yang even said, "If not for Renny boy, wanting a very hot vacation, with Nora. I bet she'd be hammering the loudest, about this nail of a time!!" Yeah...Yang's puns, haven't gotten any better, that's the only thing that didn't change. But the gesture was still there, meaning that Nora would be over-excited for Pyrrah.
The other thing that happened is that Laharl and Gwen have finally started dating. During a romantic evening. Laharl took all the girls, outside the mansion. With lights, and slow music playing for them. He'd danced with them, just like several times before. Making all of them, feel special, loved, and beautiful. Even helping Asia dance to various songs. From "Eternal Flame" by the Bangles, to "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper. While they held each other closely, even kissing under the moonlight. Gwen, she finally made a move. That night, while the song of "Open Arms" by Journey. She came out the mansion, still wearing that dress Laharl gifted her. With clear nervousness, emanating from her she'd asked, Morrigan to take the next dance. And the darkstalker-devil smiled, as she'd stood aside. Letting Gwen and Laharl dance. As the girls, could see the atmosphere becoming good for them. They excused themselves, letting Laharl and Gwen alone. Dancing together for a while. After a while, as Gwen rested her head on Laharl's chest. Eventually, she looked at Laharl face. And she said, "This is nice. (giggling, as she danced and played with her hair) Laharl?" Laharl "hmm" in return. Gwen, swallowed her pride, nerves, and fears to ask, "Can I kiss...you?" Laharl, he looked at her eyes, and chuckled. As he placed his hand on her chin, kissing her with as much romantic affection, he could muster. Gwen responded in kind. As the rest of the girls watched, with excited smiles on their faces. Caulifla even commented, "It's about time!!" With Raven, being the most chill of this relationship, she added, "Damn straight." This marked the beginning of Laharl and Gwen's relationship, as she'd joined the love, and happiness between them all.
