Everyone was surprised with Ingvild's request, but none more than Anne herself. She stalled for a whole minute as she tried to process what Ingvild ant by becoming her queen, but then she recalled Alex's explanation of evil pieces and realized Ingvild was probably inviting her into her peerage. Anne wasn't quite sure how to respond as she never imagined becoming soone's peerage mber beside possibly Alex's, which he already stated wouldn't happen. Seeing she wasn't sure how to react, Ingvild realized she was acting too hasty and explained,
"I'm sorry for getting ahead of myself, I'm Ingvild Leviathan and I'm also currently Asora's only live entertainnt, but seeing the way you dance I wanted you to join on stage. I spent a while thinking about what I wanted my peerage to be like after I got my evil pieces, and eventually decided that while being able to fight was of course a must, I also wanted my peerage mbers to be able to accompany on stage or perform themselves." After hearing Ingvild's explanation many of those surrounding them made comnts of understanding, and were also interested in seeing a peerage of idols. Anne herself still didn't know how to respond however, and Alex said to Ingvild,
"Ingvild why don't you let Anne spend so ti to think about your offer? I an she just got here so there's probably a lot she's still trying to take in." Ingvild turned red at Alex's words as she realized how she must be troubling Anne, and apologized while also asking her to think about it before going to hides rom embarrassnt. After Ingvild left several people ca to complint Anne for her dancing by now that the effect had worn off, while Alex was now thinking about Ingvild's intentions for her peerage. If she wanted to have her peerage join her on stage, then he could think of a couple candidates for her. Soon things started calming down sowhat as people started eating and relaxing, enjoying the cooling air after a long sumr day. Alex then noticed soone else he needed to speak to, and made his way over to Seekvaira to discuss a matter with the training rooms.
"Hello Seekvaira, do you have a minute?" Alex asked her suddenly, making her curious as they walked toward a quieter area. He then explained that the age of gods magic in Raisen was to control gravity, and suggested that Seekvaira attempt the labyrinth as well since it would make running the training rooms without his help easier, especially since they couldn't add the extra gravity functions without him. And though he didn't ntion it to her yet, Alex also thought she should attempt the next couple of dungeons as well, which granted both space and regeneration magics. Seekvaira nodded at his suggestion, as being able to control gravity herself would make her life a lot easier. She then said,
"I'll see about joining Sairaorg's group when they try it then, since I doubt he'll pass any of the labyrinths up." Though there weren't any ulterior motives behind Seekvaira's words, Alex couldn't help but smirk and reply as he walked away,
"I'll be cheering for you then." It took Seekvaira a minute, but when she understood Alex's words she blushed a deep Crimson. He then then rejoined the party and mingled with the girls that had missed him the past week while he was in Raisen, until a yell caught everyone's attention.
"May I have all of your attention please!" Everyone turned to look at Serafall standing on an elevated platform in her magical girl dress up, light blue panties on full display. Seemingly not caring that she was flashing everyone while Sona face pald, Serafall pointed at the cloaked figure next to her and continued,
"I have here with the next mber of my magical girl troop, and soone I already know will be a rising star in my show 'Magical Girl Levia-tan!' Introducing, Magical Girl Yu-tan!" As Serafall's cue the cloaked figure seed to hesitate for the briefest of monts before waving her own wand and being enveloped in light. When the light cleared there was a magical girl Yue who had her hair done up in twin tails to match Serafall, but thankfully her skirt at least covered her decency.she then made a pose and said,
"...Magical girl Yu-tan... Is here to fight evil...!" As they saw the outfit Yue wore as she said the phrase everyone had different reactions, Akeno was going 'ara ara', Rias was taking pictures with a Devils smile on her face, Shia had stars in her eyes, Grayfia face pald alongside Sona, and finally both Serafall and Kiryuu collapsed from nosebleeds.
Alex also admired Yue's new look for a mont, but went to go save her as she looked very uncomfortable after being the center of attention in her new outfit. When Serafall showed her the clothes while also wearing her own magical girl outfit, Yue thought it was sothing normal in the other world and that she'd be blending in more. It wasn't until she saw how everyone reacted that she realized this may not have been the case, and she suddenly wanted to crawl into a hole from embarrassnt. Suddenly a figure appeared as Yue's savior, as Alex picked her up and went back into the manor to get her changed again, anwhile Serafall didn't even try to stop them as she was unconscious from her nosebleed.
Several minutes later both of them reerged from the manor, Yue back in her normal clothes, and were instantly surrounded by Shia, Anne, Grayfia, and Sona. Both Shia and Anne were trying to comfort her through friendship, while Grayfia said,
"I should have warned you, Serafall is obsessed with magical girls and since you look young and are gifted with magic it was only a matter of ti before she tried to draft you." Sona nodded at Grayfia's words before bowing her head slightly and saying,
"And I apologize on my big sisters behalf, and for not acting sooner. I'm usually the one who gets dragged into my sisters sches so I didn't want to get dragged in as well." When Sona saw her sister dragging Yue off earlier she fought an internal battle on wether or not to intervene, but her decision to stop her ca too late. Yue felt warm at everyone trying to console her and thanked them wholeheartedly. But they all forgot part of what Serafall said earlier, that 'Magical Girl Yu-tan' would be making an appearance on her show. With the Devils technology it wasn't required for a person to personally be an actor in their shows, as long as there was soone who had a similar body type available they would only need to paste the persons face on it. Yue had no idea, she would now be forevermore afflicted with the magical girl curse, just like a certain 300 year old ghoul.
The party went on for a few hours until it started getting late, but when everyone started heading ho Alex called them back for one last announcent. Everyone thought it had sothing to do with the newcors, but were surprised to instead see the very bashful Gabriel next to Alex. He then said to everyone,
"I waited until the end of the night since I didn't want to overlap with Anne, yue, and Shia's introductions too much, but it's also about ti this was brought up as well. I thought it was about ti to tell everyone that Gabriel is expecting." For several monts there was complete silence as Alex's words spread through the group of people. So people understood imdiately and wanted to congratulate Gabriel, so of the girls however were in complete denial as they tried to guess what else Gabriel could be expecting. The first ones to speak were the only other ones to know already, Grayfia and Yasaka, as they made their way forward to offer their congratulations. Soon Gabriel was surrounded by the various won, as they buried the bitterness at not bearing Alex first child in their heart, and offered her their most sincere congratulations as well. Then n however surrounded Alex as well,
"Well it was only a matter ti anyways, but congratulations man!" Sairaorg said as he slapped Alex on the back.
"Bastard, knocking up another woman when you have my daughter... Wait then that implies I want you to get Akeno pregnant! Don't you dare do it you little bastard!" Barakiel on the other hand didn't seem to know how to react to the news.
"Hmmmm, I wonder if I had my own kid if it'd beat yours..." Even then Vali still seed to be thinking about their rivalry. With these comnts and more Alex and Gabriel beca the center of attention, before a certain Crimson haired lady pulled him aside and asked,
"Now that you have a child on the way with Gabriel you're not going to forget about , are you?" Rias asked with slightly teary eyes, while the rest of the girls listened in. Alex smiled and kissed her before replying to the stunned woman,
"Of course not, no matter how many children I have I'll never forget any of you." Pacified with the simple words, Rias smiled again and the surrounding girls let out a small sigh of relief. With the new revelation everyone stayed out a little later to properly congratulate Alex and Gabriel. When they all finally did start heading to bed, Alex didn't notice a certain white haired individual that was watching him leave while she had a deep flush to her cheeks and she let out heated pants.
