Start By Becoming Mangaka 1040 Trouble is coming? (Patreon)

Akano, Rias, and Kiba were talking to each other in the living room in the house that was rented by them in Romania. They were coming to Tepes Faction to talk about Gasper to House of Vladi who was part of Tepes Faction. 

Azazel didn't follow them and went to the Carmilla Faction to talk about the peace treaty since they would be joining soon. 

The weather in this country was quite bad so they decided to stay in the house to talk to each other. 

They talked about a lot of things since there was really a lot of things that had happened in the past few months. Then they also talked about their pasts when they met each other. 

The relationship between them was similar to a sibling since they had known each other since childhood.

"How is your relationship with your father?" Rias asked Akano. 

"It's okay," Akeno said simply while sipping a warm tea. 

"I remember that it wasn't that good," Kiba said. 

Akeno nodded and said, "It isn't good, but we have made up before." 

"Is it Yuuki?" Rias asked. 

"Yes, he has helped me," Akeno said with a smile. She felt warm when she remembered him and thought wanted to meet him. 

"It seems that Akeno-san has fallen for Yuuki," Kiba said with a smile. 

Akeno smiled and asked, "How about you? Isn't your relationship with Issei really good?" 

Kiba blushed with a smile and said, "It's quite good." 

Rias looked at Kiba and asked, "Kiba, do you like Issei?" 

Kiba nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, I like him." 

"..." 

Akeno raised her pinky while wiggling it around. "Is it that kind of like?" 

Kiba knew what Akeno meant, but he wasn't sure what to say. "I don't know. I just feel comfortable with him, but for my feeling... I still don't understand it." He shook his head since he didn't think that he had a right to fall in love with someone after what had happened to him in the past. He had run away leaving all of his friends dead. Even though he had given them revenge, he felt that wasn't enough. He thought that he needed time to adjust his heart. 

Akeno and Rias only patted Kiba's shoulders since they knew what kind of past Kiba had been through in the past. 

"However, if you want Issei then it might be quite hard since he doesn't have an interest with a male," Rias said. 

Akeno shook her head and said, "I don't think so. I can see that Issei doesn't show a reluctant expression when he is doing a bromance's action with Kiba, Saji, or Gasper." She thought for a while and said, "Even your cousin is very close to him." 

Rias thought for a while and nodded. "Issei might really become a harem king." 

Issei would be crying if he heard the content of their conversation. He would really become a harem king, but with a male member, not a girl member. 

"Hahaha..." Kiba laughed hearing their words and said, "But Asia and Irina have worked together to take down Issei." 

"What about Xenovia?" Rias asked.

"Didn't she seem to show interest in Yuuki?" Kiba asked. 

"...." 

Rias and Akeno felt that Yuuki was really a big bad wolf who invited a pure girl into his arms. 

"Does he want to become a devil?" Kiba asked. 

Akeno shook her head and said, "No, he doesn't have the interest to become a devil, even if he has it. He won't reincarnate under an unreliable master." 

"Who is a suitable master for him?" Rias asked since she didn't think that anyone could become Yuuki's master. 

"Leviathan-sama?" Akano answered unsurely. 

"...." 

Kiba and Rias were silent when they heard it. They had heard the relationship between Yuuki and Serafall was quite dubious. 

*Knock!* *Knock!*

Suddenly the door of the living room was knocked on by someone. 

Then they saw a young vampire from a House of Vladi. They could see that this young vampire had a face that resembled Gasper a bit. They could see that this vampire was a pure-blood noble. 

"I'm sorry about meeting you like this all of a sudden. Rias Gremory-dono, I'm sorry but can you listen to what I have to say?" The youth said. 

"Sure." Rias looked at him and asked, "Are you from House of Vladi?"

The youth gave a nod. 

They frowned since the one who met them wasn't the head of the clan rather this youth. They thought that there must be something happening. 

"I have heard that you and your servants have defeated the kins of the Old Maou, Evil God Loki, and the descendants of the Heroes," the youth said. 

"What's going on?" Rias asked. 

The youth turned to look at the Tepes Castle which was located far away, but he could see it from the window in this living room. "Is that truly something that was bestowed by "God from the Bible"? We don't even know why we, the clan of the dark-night, were given that. For what reason was the "Holy Grail" given to us." He sighed with a tired expression. He looked at them with an unconfident expression, but he decided to tell them the truth. 

"Rias Gremory-dono, we must take you to Valerie Tepes who is the current Head of the House of Tepes as well as the current leader of the Tepes faction." 

!!!!!

'Their leader is Valerie Tepes?!' 

Rias, Kiba, and Akeno were shocked when they heard that the head of the Tepes Faction had changed into Valerie Tepes. 

Tepes Faction which was known as a male-oriented vampire faction suddenly having a female as their leader for the first time. 

'Yuuki, I guess there is something that is beyond our imagination happening in this place,' Akeno thought while thinking about him.
