Life In Dxd - Chapter 105
After that the whole group of Odin decided to have the same drink and to Tatsuya’s surprise the one who was able to last the longest was Roseweisse who though was concious but did the most embarrasing things while she was drunk. She even proposed Tatsuya after Tatsuya comforted her when she told her horrible working conditions with Odin. Tatsuya also recorded the whole record the whole thing that she did after being drunk and decided to use it to tease her in future.

Underworld: The Gremory territory
Currently the whole Gremory mansion is in an uproar and is being decorated for the celebration of Rias’s first win in the rating game. And despite a lot of them were happy for her there was one person who was not happy with the current situation.
In one of the rooms of the Gremory mansion one could see that the whole room is filled with rubble consisting of broken furniture, showpiece, bottles etc. and a man wearing white clothes with red hair could be seen sitting in one corner of the room. This person is none other than the current head of the Gremory family, Zeotif.u.c.k*cough**cough* Zeoticus Gremory.
Zeoticus who has kept his eyes closed massaged his temple and said, “How the hell did all this happened, I did make sure that there were no problems with this marriage and then decided to let her participate in that rating game to only look like a good father. I thought that an amateur will not be able to defeat a seasoned player and a Phenex at that. I underestimated her no I underestimated her peerage. I didn’t knew that they were so strong and the red dragon emperor is in her peerage all this were not in my equation. Now all my plans to make a direct connection with the Phenex is completely ruined.”
He then punched the wall beside him causing a crack in the wall.
He then sighed and said, “Well what’s done is done, that daughter of mine is now out of her marriage that she wanted from so long, let’s congratulate her later as a ‘good’ father. I should now make plans for what to do now. Well let’s see many devil families will still be willing to marry her. Let’s try to set her up with some high class devil family as a ‘reward’ for her performance in the rating game. I am sure many of the influential devil houses will like to be a part of the Gremory family. I just need to see which house will benefit us the most.” He then showed a malicious smile but it immediately changed to a normal one and then he left the room.
TIMESKIP:
Later that day in the evening a lot of people dressed in formal clothing could be seen inside the Gremory mansion. Sirzechs who was watching all of them from the side and had a smile and thought, ‘All these people came here just to butter up the Gremory house. And after knowing that Ria-tan’s engagement will be broken tonight many of the young devils are now aiming for her. Seriously these horny males, don’t they know that Ria-tan promised to marry her Onii-chan when she was young. Ah, all this thinking is making me frustrated.’ He then took out the pendant he was wearing and opened it and the pendant revealed a photo of a woman in it.
Sirzechs started at the picture for a while and a small smile appeared on his face. He then thought, ‘Iris would have surely scolded me for having all these unnecessary thoughts and would ask me to do my duties diligently if I had time to think all that.’ He then kept on looking for a while when suddenly he felt someone tugging his robe.
He closed the pendant and looked at the one who tugging his robe and smiled. “What happened? Feeling bored Millicas?”
Millicas nodded his head and then said, “Let’s go father, I am getting bored.”
Sirzechs smiled and held his hand and said, “Then let’s go and find what your grandmother and my sister is doing.” and both of them left the room.

In another room of Gremory mansion:
Rias and her peerage along with Venelana were in the room dressed up and were waiting for the event to begin.
Rias who was sitting on the sofa stretched her hands and said, “Finally, I am finally free from this forced marriage. Now I don’t have to marry him.”
Her peerage looked at her and all thought, ‘She sure is very happy even after the game ended like that.’
Venelana looked at her daughter and said, “Don’t be too happy yet, after your engagement is officially annuled there would be a ton of devil houses who would like to marry you and if your father find someone suitable then you could be soon engaged again.”
Hearing that Rias’s expression changed and she looked at her mother and said, “Mom don’t think negatively about such matter. And even if I am engaged again I will get out of it just like I did with this engagement.”
Venelana shook her head and said, “This time I don’t think that you will get a chance to fight a rating game, you only got a chance this time because the engagement was made before you were even born and now you who is mature enough will have to take the engagement seriously as the heiresses of the Gremory house. Even though I am still against all this I cannot stop your father if he takes a decision like he did with Riser.”
Rias who heard her mother was shocked and didn’t knew what to do. She then said, “Then what if I say to them that I have a boyfriend will they still be able to make me go through all this again.”
At this everyone in the room perked up and Venelana asked, “There is a chance that you will not be made to go through all that again but that depends on the status of your boyfriend.”
Rias who heard that puffed her chest and said, “There is no problem with that I will tell that Tatsuya is my boyfriend, no one will dare to question his status afterall even Onii-sama thinks highly of him.”
Everyone in the room got surprised at her announcement and were left speechless. But suddenly the door of the room opened and revealed Sirzechs and Millicas.
Sirzechs then looked at them and said, “I heard what you all were talking about and in my opinion this idea will not work for two reasons:
1) Even though I think highly of him and he indeed lives upto my respect he is but still a human and No matter what devils will never think highly of him.
2) Tatsuya himself will deny of you being her girlfriend of he is asked whether you tak are in a relationship or not. He don’t like troublesome things at all.
Sudden two people came from the door and everyone looked at them and saw Sona and Tsubaki standing there.
Sona then shifted her glasses and said, “3) There is also the fact that you have to convince his whole harem about your relationship which is actually a very difficult task and I am saying this from experience.”
Tsubaki looked at Sona and thought, ‘Only if they knew his actual thoughts this idea would not have even came to their minds. Well whatever it’s not my problem, I am in a relationship with him and that’s only matter to me whether she marries some old fart or a new born is her problem.’
Isami also nodded her head on Sona’s comment and said, “What President is saying is true even I am not yet accepted by all of them.”
Rias who heard looked at them and said, “Don’t worry he will fall for my charm easily.”
At this everyone in the room looked at her with a deadpan expression and thought, ‘How much overconfident can she be?’
Millicas looked at Rias and thought, ‘Even I know that Rias-onee sama is not Tatsuya-nii’s type.’
Kiba looked at his king and thought, ‘If either Tatsuya or I were people who get in relationship with a girl just by her looks then the whole school would be under our control.’
Grayfia then came to the room and then said, “The members of the Phenex family have arrived, Sirzechs-sama, Rias-sama, Venelana-sama master has asked for your presence.”
All of them nodded and Rias looked at Akeno and said, “Let’s go Akeno.” Akeno nodded and started following them.
Soon the Gremorys along with Akeno and Grayfia reached the room and saw a blonde man and woman standing along with Zeoticus.
All of them approached them and bowed a but and Sirzechs said with a bow, “I hope that you are doing well Lord and Lady Phenex.”
“We are doing fine, thanks for asking Sirzechs-sama.”
Venelana then looked at Jessica (Lady Phenex) and did a curt nod which she returned as well.
Zeoticus then said, “Well they have come to annul the marriage contract between Rias and Riser.”
Rias then looked around the room and asked, “Riser is not here?”
Lord Phenex looked at her and said, “No, my son didn’t come here, he had some matters to attend to. But don’t worry he have already signed the required doc.u.ments.”
Rias nodded and thought, ‘He must be too ashamed to face the others.’ and smiled a little.

Meanwhile at Riser’s location:
“Riser cannot believe that Riser lost to someone who have never participated in a rating game.”
Suddenly he felt someone place a hand on his shoulder and then he heard a voice, “Now now, the mourning period is over. Grab a drink and let’s celebrate.”
Riser nodded and held a glass of wine and said, “To the annulment of Riser’s marriage.”
“To the annulment of your marriage.” and everyone in the room took a sip of their drinks.
Riser then looked at the person who placed his hand on him and said, “Riser will like to thank you all to come to Riser’s small party. Tatsuya-san, Sairaorg-san, Agares-san.”
All three of them nodded their heads and Tatsuya said, “No problem you are holding a party at my place, it only benefits me and I called these two as well or it would have been boring.”
Sairaorg then looked at Riser and said, “It should be me who should thank you for inviting me, though I am surprised that you are not grieving on your loss and annulment of your marriage. Didn’t you want to marry my cousin Rias very badly.”
Riser snorted and said, “Who would be happy to be bound in a marriage contract with someone they don’t even know. Riser was only pushing her to marry me because it was Riser’s duty as a member of Phenex family. Even though Riser is not a heir Riser still takes his duties seriously. And what should Riser grieve about, it only benifits Riser. Riser can go back to live his life peacefull, not studying about how to lead the house Riser would be marrying to. Riser is completely free from all that.”
Seekvaira then looked at him a d asked, “But don’t you feel bad, you could have become the head of house of Gremory in future. You would have gained a lot of wealth and authority.”
Riser waved his hand and said, “Too troublesome. Riser is earning enough from both his business and the rating games and can easily support Riser’s harem and that’s all Riser cares about. Having more authority will only increase Riser’s work. Riser wants to live freely not with these troublesome things.”
Sairaorg who heard that sighed and said, “I can’t understand that both you and Tatsuya have power but both of you don’t want any authority and only wants to fool around.”
Both Tatsuya and Riser looked at Sairaorg and said simultaneously, “Hey what is wrong with living a life like that. Instead of getting involved with all that shit I/Riser thinks my/Riser’s way is better.” and both of them fist bumped.
Tatsuya then looked at Sairaorg and Seekvaira and asked, “Anyway is it really fine for both of you to be here and not attend the Gremory’s party, specially you Sairaorg afterall she is your cousin.”
Both of them shook their heads and Seekvaira said, “I have no problem, I have told my parents that me and my peerage are going to exterminate some rouges on the request of the archduke.”
Sairaorg then said, “No problems with me either I have told mother that me and my peerage have some work to do. Besides didn’t I promise earlier you have much more priority in my eyes than the devils. How could I refuse when you were the one who invited me.”
Tatsuya smiled and Sairaorg’s answer and said, “Then let’s drink tonight till we are wasted on the celebration of annulment of Riser’s engagement.”
Riser looked at Tatsuya and said, “You took the words out of my mouth Tatsuya-san.”
Sairaorg looked at Tatsuya and said, “Oi, are you even allowed to drink alcohol.”
Tatsuya looked at Sairaorg and said, “Sairaorg let’s compete who can drink more.”
When Sairaorg heard the word compete he forgot all about age restrictions and started gulping down the bottle in front of him and so did all the boys of his peerage.
The girls looked at the boys and said, “Seriously these boys and their antics.” and rest of the girls nodded their heads in approval.

Underworld: in Gremory’s mansion.
All the doc.u.ments concerning Rias’s marriage annulment were signed and all of them were in the hall attending the party.
Venelana, Misla and Jessica were standing with eachother and were talking when suddenly Venelana asked, “Hey, why I don’t see your children and their peerages here, now that I think about it Seekvaira-chan is also not present.”
Misla looked at Venelana and said, “Sairaorg said that he had somewhere to go and would not be able to come.”
Jessica said, “Riser said the same thing as well but what I am surprised about is that Ravel was also very excited to go with him.”
Suddenly all three of them realized something and said, “All three of them are absent, don’t tell me they all are where I think.”
Misla then formed magic circle and called Kuisha.
Suddenly a small projection of Kuisha appeared in Misla’s hand. Kuisha looked at Misla and the other two and bowed her head and asked, “Is there some problem Misla-sama.”
Misla shook her head and said, “Nothing like that. I wanted to ask you where you guys currently at.”
At this Kuisha’s body became stiff and she averted her eyes and was about to make an excuse when suddenly.
“Hey who gave alcohol to Miyuki she is drunk now.”
“Hey Miyuki don’t tear my clothes.”
“Onii-sama let’s make kittens.”
“Why the hell are you talking like Kuroka.”
“Kyaa, Tatsuya-sama cover yourself first.”
“You fool take as many pictures as possible it is a very rare and magnificent sight.”
“Riser cannot believe it, how ‘big’ are you Tatsuya-san.”
“I cannot win against you In this no matter how much I train.”
“Don’t worry Sairaorg-sama you are not the only one. We know how you feel.”
“Hey Seek Chan send those photos to me as well.”
Misla then ended the call and looked at the other ladies and a of them nodded at each other.
Venelana then said, “Grayfia we are going somewhere don’t forget to take a camera.”
Grayfia then said, “Don’t worry Venelana Sama I have already prepared all the things we will be needing for our ‘trip’.” and all four of them teleported ‘somewhere’.
