Ginjo shook his head at her and then turned away from her, not able to look at her anymore without hovering his eyes downward at her.
"S-Sure. You're the senpai, so call us whatever you want." Ginjo then took a breath. "Now please… both of you… get some damn clothes on!"
While Issei nodded in affirmative and grabbed his school uniform, Rias looked on with a smile and a giggle.
After Rias and Issei got their clothes on, the two joined Ginjo at the dinner to have breakfast before heading to school.
As he was eating, Ginjo scanned the environment with his eyes to see his brother and parents acting awkward around Rias, who was smiling and eating, acting as if nothing ever happened.
'Damn… Gremory-senpai is really calm. How the hell does she do that without feeling the slightest amount of embarrassment? I mean, come on! She didn't scream and cover herself when I walked in on her and Ise-nii naked! What kind of person shrugs that off?!'
"Ise," Ginjo was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Rias address his brother with a smile. "Aren't you going to eat the meal your mother prepared for you?"
"O-Oh! Right!"
Realizing that he was just sitting there the whole time, Issei quickly dug into his meal and ate it like how a wolf would, earning a giggle from Rias.
"Slow down, Ise. The meal she prepared you is special, and you should savor its taste."
Issei blushes when Rias wiped his mouth with a paper towel.
"R-Right. Sorry."
Ginjo looks on at the scene in interest. He then sighs, understanding why he's acting this way.
"E-Excuse me, Gremory-san, was it?"
Rias sets her eyes on Issei and Ginjo's father, who looked a little nervous.
"Yes, Mr. Hyoudou?"
Their father flinches a little at how polite Rias answered.
"I… I must say, for a foreigner, your Japanese is very impressive."
Rias smiles at his compliment.
"Why thank you, sir. My father has worked in Japan for most of my life, so I've lived here for quite a while."
While the father of the two Hyoudous chuckled kindly at her reply, their mother looked at Rias with a suspicious, and nervous gaze.
"G-G-Gremory-san, If you don't mind me asking…"
'Oh boy, here we go,' Ginjo thought with a nervous expression, knowing exactly what his mother was going to ask her.
"What is your relationship with our older son, Issei?"
Rias looks to Issei and then back to his mother with a smile.
"Oh, he and I are just friends. Nothing more, nothing less."
"J-J-Just friends?!" the mother questions. "Then why did I find you two on the bed together in the nude?!"
Issei and Ginjo cringed when that question was asked, with the older Hyoudou cringing the hardest.
"You have nothing to worry about, ma'am," Rias assures her with a calm voice. "Nowadays, friends who are close to one another sleep together in the nude. Besides, Ise told me that he's been having nightmares, and I had to help him out."
Ginjo and Issei raise an eyebrow at her, knowing full well that what she just told her was a lie. But after Rias told them her explanation, the two noticed that her eyes suddenly glowed red for a few seconds, earning a confused expression from the brothers.
"Oh… I see…" The brothers shot their heads towards their mother when they heard her talk as if she suddenly became sleepy. Upon looking at her, their eyes widen when they saw that her eyes were suddenly hollow.
'What the hell..?' Ginjo looked on at her mother, very confused at why she was acting this way.
"Well… As long as it helps Issei… That's fine…"
""Whoa!"" The brothers were weirded out when they saw their father at the same state their mother was.
"Wait, how did those two suddenly buy that?" Ginjo asks in a whisper. "There's no way that what you said made sense. At least to me and Ise-nii anyway."
Rias brought both of the Hyoudous heads over to her so she could explain.
"Sorry, you two, I've had to use magic to get them to buy what I was saying."
"What?!" Ginjo shouted quietly so his parents wouldn't hear, his expression looking to be outraged. "So you hypnotized them and made them believe in something that wasn't true?!"
"I'm sorry, Ginjo-kun, but I didn't have any other choice. I didn't think even you would calm them down so I had to do it."
Ginjo kept his eyes on Rias, still angered at the fact that she technically forced his parents to believe what she told them.
"Just don't do it again, okay? Even after paying this price by being a 'Devil Servant' to you, which I have yet to figure out what you mean by that, I still love them, and I refuse to have any harm done to them."
Rias looks at Ginjo with a surprised expression. She then sighed, understanding why he acted this way.
"Of course, Ginjo-kun. Now then, let's go, I'll be able to explain part of this during our walk to school."
Ginjo sighed at Rias' answer. Getting up from his chair with Rias and Issei as they finished their meal. As the three made their way out, Issei looked on at his younger brother with a confused expression.
'What price is he talking about?'
"Wait, are you serious?"
Ginjo was having a hard time believing what Rias has just told him, with Issei chuckling nervously at his reaction while scratching the back of his head.
