DxD: Matsuda!

      Four Gremory's sat at their informal dining table for a meal. Chysis was asking me more about my past and hobbies. Yes, no one spoke about what happened early in the morning.

      "Yes mama, I have mastered most of the human world cuisine and am currently memorizing all of the current Underworld dishes and ingredients." The one skill that was not one of my gold finger abilities, cooking! Well, martial arts. "Mama, would you like me to make you desert after we are done?"

     While trying to hold back a tear she just said,"I would dear."

       Venelana seemed a bit surprised at my ability to cook,"Rias or Grayfia never told us you can cook?!" Grayfia and I have no idea why this is important to these two women?

     "Yes, about two times a week I make the maids just assist me like a restaurant assembly and I take over for my girls and make meals from around the world. My favorite however is modern western." I scratch my cheek with a blush.

     Chysis asks,"You know how to run a restaurant?" She did not expect a young human to know this.

     I smile and say,"I managed to keep some minor skills from a past life and cooking was one of them!"

     Grandmother, mother, and son were all surprised at my words,"Although most of my memory's are gone, I retained business management, restaurant management, and running a martial arts school in a previous life, although I don't remember everything. Hell, I don't even remember my, name of that life!"

     After my words, Venelana went to another room and came back with a few books. She then placed them in front of me and asked me to point out where the problems were......

     So I used my powers of my gear to speed read thorough the four books and comprehend them all...This process only took ten minutes....for anyone else it would take at minimum a full day and take Coriana a few hours.

     I point to six sections in the four books and point out where the flaws took place, and I found corruption in one file showing the person in charge skimmed off the top.

     Chysis and Venelana both looked at one another in shock. Venelana said,"Mat your skill in finance and business is terrifying! What took us six months to find and correct you solved in ten minutes!" She is looking at me like she found gold! So I just blush due to this being a gold-finger. But I love it when she compliments me!

     "Well we will be going to your territory tonight and let's see what surprises you can bring as the new lord!" Venelana truly looks happy now, not like the sadness she has been suppressing.

      Later the family was in the kitchen watching the show, Millicas was sitting in Chysis lap watching cooking magic in action. Venelana was off to my side watching my actions while I directed two maids as assistance. For Millicas I made deluxe chocolate chip cookies due to it being fast, and for the older women I made delicate cake desserts from France and Germany.

      I think judging by their expressions I made Food Wars food-ganisms! Naturally I made plenty for Grayfia and all the other servants. All in all the afternoon was very fun and the house feels like it is full of life.......I truly forgot about how his death affected Millicas. Well I need to make this kid feel loved.

      That evening Chysis sent me off with Venelana, Grayfia, Coriana, and Grace. We all entered the limo for the half hour drive to my new home. In the next few days Tannin and devils requiring my healing will travel to my territory and I shall trade in the healing vouchers. Tannin is bringing research and samples of his Dragon Apples to see if I can advance it.

     When we pulled up there about one hundred servants lined up to greet us, one devil woman stood out who was there to greet us. This woman had the appearance of that one hot teacher from the anime [High-school of the Elite]! I have noticed in the Gremory territory, many devils are from japan. So it was why Rias was a fan of Japan.

     When I stepped out with Venelana all of the servants bowed to us in respect and so did the hot looking secretary looking woman. "Greetings Duchess and young lord! I am Sakura Kuro and I am here to serve you."

     Venelana said to me,"Son this woman is the second in-charge of the Gremory group human businesses, and is also my Bishop, she is also your second in charge of your territory here. So just consider her your servant as well." Sakura hid it but she looked shocked at what her King said.

     I smile and put my hand out for a handshake and say,"Ms Kuro I am Matsuda Gremory and in the human world Matsuda Tanaka, please take care of me!" She shook my hand and seemed nervous. I then said,"I am sure you Know Grayfia  Gremory and Grace, my Queen and Knight. And this is my personal assistant and Bishop Coriana Andrealphus."

     Venelana said,"It is late and we have much to do starting tomorrow, so take everyone to their new rooms."

     At this the many servants took the girls' things and brought everyone to their luxurious rooms. My girls do not get the servant treatment but the treatment a concubine would be afforded.

     Venelana took my arm and escorted me to the master's room, and we were followed by Sakura. Grayfia would join me once she has arranged everything. The room I was brought to was a black and crimson decorated palatial palace style room with indoor fountains and dim lighting. This looks like what I would expect from a true Devil Kings room. The bed sized for a small harem was covered in crimson silks as well as the furniture and curtains. This massive-room has a fireplace ten feet across and tall...sized for a bonfire.

     The plush carpeting was thick and soft meant for bare-feet. Venelana Then sat me down next too her on a large two person seat in front of a table near the fire. She had already kicked off her shoes and pulled her legs under herself and leaned on my shoulder. The surprised Sakura sat in an adjacent chair to talk with us. Two maids brought food and refreshments to the table for our needs. Grayfia silently came in and stood to the side with the two other maids.

     Venelana smiled and said in a charming voice,"Welcome young master to your new territory, Gomorin City! This is the main greenbelt of the Gremory territory and my old territory, please take good care of it!" Fortunately I memorized all the information that Gave me before about my territory and human businesses.

     Sakura then began to explain about the foods and drinks on the table to me....Appealingly these foodstuffs are some of the more popular products of this territory and it was brought for me to sample by her.

     Venelana picked up the plate of juicy grapes on the table and said,"These are our specialty Gremory Grapes!" Grayfia looked like that was a bad idea but I did not notice her look.

     As Venelana hand fed me the grapes I was surprised and said,"Wow, these grapes are amazing! They taste like eating a wine made of fruit!" Grayfia is just sighing and waiting for the worst to happen!

     Sakura just says,"Yes young master, that is because these grapes that can only grow in the Underworld, have their centers ferment themselves and the juice of the fruit is in fact very-much a natural wine!" Venelana just put the fourth one in my mouth as I listened to her explanation.

     As I turn to look at Venelana she just rolls her eyes at me and says,"Oh please, what are you even worried about? Did you already not cross the line today? Trust me even if you go nuts no one in this home will be ruined by the master of the house!" She just stuffs my mouth with another grape and I contemplate this situation? Not the fact she is basically telling me to plow her fields, but why am I not blacking out?

     Venelana, thinking I might be mad backtracks a bit and says,"I am sorry Mat, I just wanted you to have a safe environment to try your territory's products, I thought you liked me and you would not be upset.....I am sorry!" She looks like she is afraid she will upset me....damn she looks cute and flustered.

     I lean in and give her a smile and kiss her lips gently and say,"No I think you're perfect and I don't mind being drunk with you.....What I am worried about is the fact I am not drunk! Also I am in complete control of my actions!" I look at the table in front of me and see a bottle of whisky from the Gremory group and ask a maid for a glass with ice. Everyone in the room is astonished by my actions, well just Grayfia and Venelana.

     I hold it and swirl its contents then smell and taste it...................FUCKING AMAZING! Even after I finished it, I only felt the slight amount of drunkenness I would with my super tolerance! I just sit there getting a refill with a winner's smile on my face! I am so happy right now because I am trying to figure out what is better? Making Venelana my woman or the fact I can drink again.....Okay Venelana wins by a margin!

     Venelana wipes the happy tear in my eye and asks,"Dear are you OK?" She can't understand how bad Drunk Me truly was!

     I just smile at her and respond,"Venelana you helped me slay my drinking curse! Today will go down as one of my best days in this lifetime" Grayfia looks like she is smiling that my demon was slain. But off to the side poor Sakura looks terrified at seeing my interactions with her King!

     After my fourth glass I slowed down on the drinking a bit, just because I know I am not immune but just resistant. My gear is telling me if I blackout I will not be able to see the memory of my drunk doings and it will be a true Hangover movie!

     I say,"I got it! It is because of my new body's constitution of the Gremory......" Thanks for this blessing you gave Zeo!

     Venelana pointed and said,"Your eyes are now light blue as well as your natural hair color changing to crimson." I like my new eye color...it stays!

     After Sakura got over her stupor she handed me more current business reports for me to scan and I did. While I was examining the data, Venelana continued to give me small things to try......It feels strange but good for Venelana to pamper me like I am the actual head of the family.

     When I finished the corrections I found both Sakura and Venelana went over my work, while Grayfia escorted me to my adjacent hot-spring bath. She quietly washed me and while no one was around, Grayfia informed me on what Coriana and Grace were doing...Apparently the two are improving the development and direction of Satan Gold entertainment business and products.

     Grayfia then told me,"Dear, I will stay in my room during this trip to the territory. And before you get all worked up, it is because you will still have me when we get back. Venelana will want to be at your side for a time. She is obviously in need of your presence. Don't turn her away. She is a very noble lady that is not into being with all of us younger devils. Just feel blessed she has chosen you as her partner!" Grayfia just gives me a warm smile and though I don't understand all of her reasons, I know I am her priority...So I just nod to her and she kisses me for good night then leaves to go to her own chambers.

     A while later two women came into the hot springs with towels on and after rinsing they entered. Venelana sat next to me and Sakura sat across at a safe distance. I just want to laugh at this Japanese woman for acting like I will force her under me!

     Venelana then said to me,"Son, your work was flawless, and even Sakura missed half of what you corrected! The wealth you found in the books and the streamlining steps you modified were terrific! Right Sakura?" Thank God Sakura can't see under the water because when she is calling me son, she is rubbing my leg! The feeling of doing something immoral is scrambling my brain......I think Venelana likes it when we refer to each other as son and mother! This is so wrong but great too......Fuck it! I am a devil and not a human, and this woman is a devil too.

     Sakura answers her King,"Yes Venelana, if I did not watch him do it in front of me, I would never believe this young man was capable of that ability."

     Venelana then looks at me and says,"Based on my gut feeling as a business woman, I have decided you will become the CEO of the entire Gremory group, Rias will still be the head of the family, but your business ability is second to none! With  Sakura under-you and your peerage helping you, this will explode the Gremory fortune. Plus your reputation in the three factions is greater than the leaders currently and will be able to broker cross faction contracts! So Sakura, do you think you can do better than Mr Gremory?" She gives her a challenging smile.....It seems Sakura wanted to be the next CEO?

     Sakura just shakes her head and says,"I would not dare! Mr Gremory has proven to me that he is capable of making correct choices if I were to assist! Young master please don't think poorly of this servant!" She stands and gives me a bow.

     I just tell her,"Miss Kuro please stop with that! Just help me and together we will do our best, I am actually easy going and wont look down on you! Hell I only recently became a pure-blood and relate to humans. So don't make it awkward between us and act normal!" I don't think she noticed her towel undid itself during the bow and she is hanging out ha-ha!

     Sakura expected me to be a power hungry young man I think based on her actions, or she is just deferential to me because I am the young master.

     I say to Venelana,"I have been here awhile so I will take off to bed!" To make sure she knows I am not leaving because of her I squeezed her leg gently before I got out.

     An hour later I felt a presence come up next to me in the bed and hold me. When I looked I saw the invader. I see violet eyes looking at me. I say nothing and roll her over and climb on top of her and whisper into her ear......"Just let me help you carry your burdens! I want you to be happy again and I will love you as much as I can!"

     She only wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into her embrace. That night I took my time loving this sad woman. I can only give her some love that she lost! During our lovemaking, I heard her whisper softly,"Thank you son." Yup I finished right after I heard that!
