Akeno couldn't help but smile warmly at the sight, it seemed that the times were changing. Who would have thought it possible?
If this was possible, what else was possible she couldn't help but wonder? Real peace with the other biblical factions?
For a split-second a gruff-looking man with black hair and beard appeared in the forefront of her mind, she shook away the image and frowned darkly.
...Yeah right. As if that was possible.
"Hey! Yuki!"
Everyone immediately became stiff as a voice called out to the hero. The hero in question knew that voice however, and couldn't help but internally sigh at her friend's bad timing.
Especially when considering the company she was in.
Naruse Mio finished walking up the stairs and spoke again. "Hey hey Yuki! Have you seen Naruto? We were going to talk about something, but he disappeared again..." the young girl complained before stopping herself after realizing that the bluenette wasn't alone.
Rias stared at the girl that was addressing the hero, she felt like she was looking at a mirror for a moment. They shared quite a few physical similarities with each other. But was more important to her at the moment was the fact that she felt that the girl wasn't normal.
She couldn't feel what energy the girl had, but it was definitely something...why wasn't she aware of her before now?
Mio for her part was panicking slightly, of all of the times to meet the little sister of the current Maou Lucifer...especially when she wasn't as good as Maria at hiding energy signals.
She was good enough at it that they wouldn't sense her, as long as she wasn't close by anyways.
At the very least she doubted that the older devil could sense her demonic energy. So she could simply play ignorant for now...just in case.
"Ah Mio...now really isn't the best time." Yuki mumbled, hoping that the younger girl would take the hint and leave. But it seemed to be too little and too late.
"I'm sorry. We haven't met before, my name is Gremory Rias and this is my friend; Himejima Akeno. Pleased to meet you." Rias said with a pleasant smile, still slightly shocked at the presence of what was very likely another supernatural being. Seriously, she was beginning to worry that she wasn't very good at governing her territory...
Mio immediately bowed in a show of respect to her senior. "My name is Naruse Mio, I recently enrolled into this school thanks to my...onii-san." Mio said with slightly gritted teeth, still embarrassed that she had to call Naruto that in public.
Rias pondered the name for a moment, she could have sworn that she heard the girl's name before...
Wait...a brother?
"Wait. Your older brother wouldn't happen to be Naruto right?" Rias asked with widened eyes, so this was the blond's elusive sister?
Considering Naruto's penchant for surprising people, she supposed that she shouldn't be surprised at his little sister's lack of presence until now.
Mio simply nodded in confirmation, unsure of whether admitting to the fact would be good or not. All she knew about the high-class devil was the fact that she had formed a pact with Naruto...but she had no idea if she was genuine in her positive demeanor towards the blond.
Well, she would find out in a moment she supposed.
Rias nodded at this and smiled at the younger girl, if she used the same reasoning with Nonaka then it was very likely that the girl in front of her had no idea of her brother's scheme.
"I see! Well then it's very nice to meet you at last Mio-san. I was just speaking to Nonaka-san here about your brother's newest hare-brained idea, do you know about it?" Rias asked cheerfully, wishing to make a good first impression on her fellow red-head.
If she had to guess after seeing Mio's twitching eyebrow though, she'd say that she had no idea either.
"Let me guess...I'm involved in this little idea of his aren't I?" Mio groaned while pinching the bridge of her nose.
The 'Two Great Ladies' just smiled at her guess while Yuki just shrugged.
Awesome.
"Mou! Naruto always does this! He does whatever he wants without anyone's approval or anything! What if I have plans or something when this was gonna happen!?" Mio complained, feeling a small headache begin to coalesce.
If she brought up the issue to her psuedo-brother, she could already imagine his response...
'Eh? Whatcha mean I promised to not do anything stupid? Are you implying that my plan is stupid!? Oi! My plan is absolute genius dattebayo!'
Mio placed her head into her hand...he would definitely do that...
"Ufufu...it seems that foxy-kun can make things quite difficult for little Mio, doesn't he Buchou?" Akeno giggled with hand covering her mouth daintily. But her king didn't respond to her words.
Though the queen couldn't help but be slightly surprised at the thoroughly understanding look that her king was giving the younger girl.
Rias walked up to the girl and placed her hand on the younger girl's shoulder.
"...It's tough right? To have such an energetic older brother that constantly does random things without telling you? To have him do things that embarrasses you all the time?" Rias asked softly with an understanding smile.
Mio looked up at her fellow red-head with slightly teary-eyes. She understood the trials of a little sister with an overly energetic, but still well-meaning older brother? That could only mean...
"You have one too...?" Mio asked hesitantly.
Rias nodded solemnly, an unfortunate truth.
All was silent for a moment as both young teens stared at each other in the eyes, conveying their understanding of one another before...
"Rias-sempai!"
"Mio-chan!"
Both girls suddenly embraced each other! Tearing up as they finally found someone to share and understand their frustrations over their big brothers!
