Chapter 99 - Chapter 96

He was still yawning as he opened the door to see who was bothering him. It wasn't common, but he'd had the occasional supernatural guest over the years. Most were just passing through on their way elsewhere and since, outside of certain areas, the supernatural world was pretty small, they would come by seeking a place for the night or something similar.

It was a lot nicer to stay at a stranger's house when they were in the know than to sleep outside or at a human hotel for certain beings. Especially ones that had trouble hiding their features, like the Oni he'd played host to once. Poor guy could make every part of himself look human except his massive size and horn. No one would accept a three meter tall being with a one meter long horn as human.

As he slid open the door, his bleary sight came into sharp focus when he notice a massive splash of crimson. Once he was fully focused he beheld two beautiful young women, familiar women. Standing proudly on his doorstep was Rias Gremory and behind her and slight to the right was her Queen, Himejima Akeno.

Rias looked much like he imagined she would, only much younger than his blurry memories indicated. Not unexpected, but still a little strange to him. The same could be said of Akeno. If he had to pick something obvious that distanced them from what he expected, it would be the size of their busts. Neither had grown to where they would be in a few more years. That's not to say they weren't busty for their ages, just simply not as busty as they would become.

After the obvious difference came the less obvious. For starters, the pair looked smaller over all. Again, they were younger so not unexpected. Yet it still kind of threw him off. Still, despite being less physically mature than his mind thought they should be, the pair were easy enough to recognize.

Rias had long crimson colored hair that hung down to just past the small of her back cut in the manner he'd expected with bangs covering her forehead and longer side bangs framing her face. Her red hair combined with her white skin and blue eyes made her a very attractive sight, especially in the casual clothing she wore. He half expected she would be wearing the Kuoh Academy uniform but, instead, she wore a pair of blue jeans with a frilly white blouse, and white sneakers.

Behind her, Akeno had her black hair in a ponytail that fell down to the small of her back, white skin, and vibrant purple eyes. An unusual color even in the DxD world, for a human to have anyway. Unlike Rias, Akeno wore a simple light purple sundress that fell to just below her knees and a pair of strappy sandals.

As he studied them, they too were studying him. Though his looks were Japanese standard, in that he had black hair and eyes, everything else about his body had changed over the years since he awakened in that junkyard so long ago. At the moment he was standing at the door in nothing but his boxers showing off every single muscle he'd earned working in his forge and at the gym. While he wasn't perfectly cut, he did have a well defined chest that lead down to lightly showing abs and a perfect 'V Cut' into his boxers. At the same time his legs were well muscled giving him a lean but powerful build.

It was what he'd been working towards for a while now and what he planned to maintain. He never wanted to be a massive meat shield or a thin rail. The athletic 'swimmers build' was the perfect balance, as far as he was concerned.

He didn't really take his state of dress into account until he noticed the light blush on Rias cheeks and the leering look Akeno was giving him as her eyes roamed his body. He glanced down at himself and realized his mistake. With a sigh, he waved them inside, "Come on in and make yourself comfortable while I get dressed."

At any other time he would have been extremely excited to meet the pair of girls that had just shown up at his door. Except, he'd been up for forty-eight hours straight working and had only gotten three hours of sleep. He was too tired to be excited and was leaning more towards annoyed. Couldn't they have come after he'd gotten plenty of sleep?

Rias and Akeno stared dumbly as the teenager about their age just walked away and left the door wide open with an invitation for them to enter. Akeno turned to Rias as she asked, "You think it's a trap or something?"

She didn't honestly believe it was, but as Rias's Queen it was her duty to make sure it wasn't. Rias watched Junichiro walk away before shaking her head, "I don't think so. You've watched him as much as I have. If it wasn't for the wards around his home and the magic he's leaking all over the place, I'd think he was just a normal teenager."

Akeno nodded in agreement. While they hadn't been able to get their familiars past the wards to spy on him, they had been able to see what he got up to when he left the house. Mostly it seemed like he just bought food. Though they had noticed he got a lot of deliveries to his house and he spent a lot of time at a warehouse, which was also warded.

When Junichiro set up his wards, he included a bit to block anything intent on spying on him. It's how he kept Azazel from setting up magic circles in his place with such a purpose to them. The only exceptions he made were for Mittelt and Azazel himself. If he didn't whitelist those two, they'd never be able to visit.
