2 pairs of footsteps were heard as Jin and Rias, nearing the exit of the train found a blonde maid waiting for them.
Hayasaka Ai with her hands elegantly clasped in front of her abdomen, bowed politely to the two of them.
"Jin-sama, Mistress, Where are you headed? This maid will guide you" After bowing, Ai said in a cold tone. Staring daggers at Rias, who is hugging Jin's arms.
"We're heading in to the Gremory castle's dining hall… Jin is famished and eager to have a meal"Rias said as she stuck her tongue out playfully at Ai.
*growl*
As if it was called out, Jin's stomache rumbled in agreement eliciting beautiful chuckles from the two ladies present.
"Understood, please…" Ai bowing slightly, lead them to the Gremory dining hall while Rias humored Jin with conversations, making the trip fun, relaxing and making Jin forget about his problems for now.
Still not fully adapted to the whiplash of being transmigrated suddenly and his body fighting the urge to make a choice between eating or sleeping, Jin truly felt the gentle care and the boundless love Rias have for him.
Making him confused as to what may have happened in the past… not dwelling on them, Jin felt his heart was filled to the brim when he realized that not only Rias, but also Ai who took notice of his awkwardness—not once doubting him but fully guiding and accepting him of the change, abrupt it may be… Jin felt that even if he had not transmigrated, the previous him would have still been loved.
Jin felt guilty that he had "replaced" the original but also sad about his conditions… he vowed silently that since they had already given him all the care, attention, the needs, and the love for him unconditionally for 18 years… He wants to give it back to them many times and do all the things that the past may have "wanted".
…
Arriving at the Gremory dining hall reserved for the family gatherings, Jin saw people already sitting on the table, but haven't started eating yet.
Scanning them, he saw familiar faces… in this timeline Rias hadn't enrolled at the Kuoh Academy but instead took on the responsibilities as the Gremory Heiress and training herself and her peerage for the future, Rias as busy as she was always managed time to see her fiancé everyday, taking on the role of being the perfect wife and giving Jin the love and care that a husband could could only dream of.
Jin after sleeping for almost 48 hours straight… did not realize that he had almost adapted to "replacing" the original "Jin" Gremory, especially when he made a silent vow earlier.
'There's mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, then ther—eh? Akeno, Koneko, Kuroka???, Gasper, Asia and who are those two???' Jin seeing two unfa—
'Kiba Yuuko and Hyoudou Itsuki??? Wait… Kiba and Issei got genderbent!? And Kuroka is part of Rias's peerage!?' Jin dumbfounded suddenly stopped moving.
"Jin" x?
Jin heard multiple voices calling out to him… looking at him as if he were a monkey in a zoo that suddenly knew how to speak english.
"Ah—ehehe hello?" Jin waved an awkward greeting the the people present when sudden—
*crash*
*gasp* x?
"JIIIIN!!!!—WAAAAH!" Jin had been tackled by a small figure, now bawling her eyes out Ravel Phenex cried happily as she took notice of the sudden changes of her brother… with the surrounding people wide-eyed had now reacted to this change.
"So it's true? When did this happen my dear sister?" Sirzechs Gremory curiously asked his sister Rias Gremory, he only knew of the situation when Rias had contacted him about Jin… suddenly requesting to have Ajuka Beelzebub check on Jin, although Ajuka wasn't a doctor he was smart enough to possibly know of what happened to Jin, that's because he had discovered that Jin seemed to have an "incomplete soul" and that led to him becoming what he was in the past.
"Let's talk about it later brother… but as you can see, he is still the Jin know but he has simply "woken up" is what he felt like but anyways—Ravel-chan, you should get off of Jin… he is eager too—" Rias was cut off by a loud rumbling of Jin's stomach.
"Food… Eat?" Jin could only muster up words related to his hunger, drooling at the side of the dishes on the table. Forgetting about the people around him and simply was determined to eat.
As if by instinct Jin's body along with his clothes suddenly morphed into a humanoid shaped flame, that quickly sat on a chair while transforming back to normal.
Looking at the food infront of him, he couldn't wait anymore! Time to eat!
*munch* *munch* *munch*
*swallow*
"Hic-" He reached out his hand searching for something to drink when Ai, had already began to help him drink water by directly putting the rim of a glass cup on his mouth.
*gulp* *sigh*
After relieving himself from the hiccup he continued devouring food, the others looking at him with shocked eyes.
"Jin~ eat slowly— alright alright stop, I'll feed you" Getting interrupted on his feast, Rias not caring about the others only had Jin in her eyes as she dotingly coaxed and gently stopped Jin and began spoon feeding her himself as he pointed on different dishes that he wanted to eat.
The orhers slacked jawed could only watch helplessly as this Jin were too different from the one they knew, even having thoughts on his own! Wow!
Looking at Jin being indulging and being pampered by Rias and Ai, they thought that it was a good thing and warranted a celebration.
Seeing Jin having an animated and expressive demeanor, different from his monotone self enjoying the food… The others hurriedly joined in as well afraid that there wouldn't be any food left, but thinking that it was Jin… they wanted to instead let him eat as much as he wants.
…
"Are you free later—nevermind, stop your research right now and free up some time later… Yes, it's a personal request" Sirzechs had already walked off from the large dining table to avoid disturbing others and contacted Ajuka.
"Alright, this better be worth my ti—"
"Jin "woke up"" Cutting Ajuka off Sirzechs bluntly told him the agenda.
"Eh? For real?"
"Real"
"Alright im gonna disable some anti teleportation defense for this"
"Thanks! And sorry for interrupting your—"
"If you interrupted me with boring politics I would have ended the call already"
"Hey hey alright, I'll let you know when we'll teleport"
"…"
…
*burp*
Jin fully satisfied let out a big burp as Rias patted his back gently, treating him like a baby.
"Huwaaah~ I'm full!" Jin stretched lightly and yawned feeling sleepy after satisfying his stomach.
Because of his drowsy state he had forgotten where he was and the people around him, reaching out for the comforting aura beside him, he hugged Rias.
"Rias, sleep" he said softly his face buried on Rias's bossom.
"Then let's get you to sleep" Rias gently whispered in his ear as it turned slightly red but feeling comfortable, Jin just dug his face deeper into her bossom.
"Don't sleep now Jin, we're still at the dining hall" Rias coaxed Jin, preventing him from his well deserved sleep.
Jin wanting to sleep instinctively used a teleportation magic spell engulfing him, Rias and Ai.
"Sleep"
"Eh?"
The others still not used to Jin's antics could only watch helplessly as the figures of Jin, Rias and Ai disappeared.
Wanting to converse with Jin and finding out the situation—they could only let Jin slip away, as this was the first time Jin had voiced out his wants.
…
Rias's bedroom.
A fiery magic circle with the Phenex symbol suddenly appeared and three figures materialized.
"Since when did you learn teleportation magic Jin?" Rias while questioning Jin led him to the bed.
"Ai-chan can you grab Jin some spare clothes?" Jin now asleep in her embrace did not hear Rias's question as he dozed off.
Ai stared at Rias full of Jealousy, harrumphing and walking away to fulfill Rias's request.
Rias fully aware of the charm of her soon to be husband just smiled cheekily, although she was not opposed on sharing her Jin, she would make sure that the women would know who's in charge.
She had trained herself diligently and studied the art of being the "Main wife" while having some expected advantage to leveraging Jin, she would not be selfish and wholeheartedly make time for others with Jin's happiness as the priority.
Rias had ingrained this to her heart, She wanted to make Jin feel more emotions and at the same time explore more of the unknown without exposing him to danger.
She had taken on that role not just for Jin but also for herself, seeing Jin happy made her happy too, so she, Rias Gremory, would make sure that there would be no brainless woman that would try to take Jin by themselves selfishly for their own desires and making Jin shun his own happiness, Rias wanted to make a harmonious family with Jin by ultimately making his surroundings have a healthy balance of mixed emotions with a "slightly" more positive emotions dominant.
Rias wanting to take her clothes off to make herself comfortable pried Jin off her but Jin would let out a dissatisfied hum in retort, leaving her with mo choice but to make Jin more comfortable by adjusting their sleeping position.
Jin unaware, slept soundly and would occasionally snuggle and tighten their embrace.
