"AHh ~"
Due to a clumsy movement from her husband, Miki let out a soft moan in her sleep.
'She must still be slightly sensitive.'
A feeling of pride filled Gorou's chest as he left the bedroom, glancing a few times at his wife's body.
He still had trouble believing he'd spent such an energetic night with the unconscious beauty on his bed.
'I should prepare something.'
An action filled with no bad intentions, just the desire to please his wife.
After all, Gorou knew he'd gone a bit too far last night.
He preferred to avoid an embarrassing atmosphere, with a romantic air between them.
So, this breakfast in bed for Miki would help her stay a bit herself.
'I've never cooked an Asian breakfast, but Gorou has some experience.'
It didn't take long for him to reach the kitchen to start preparing breakfast.
During the process, Gorou noticed an anomaly.
"Weird... I... I feel my mind clearer."
At first, Gorou linked this phenomenon to a persistent post-orgasm effect from his unleashing on Miki.
However, this couldn't really explain his "new" vision of things around him.
He felt like he'd always been under a sheet and now, someone was letting light through.
[Congratulations, you have accomplished one of Stanford Pines' wishes]
[Your synchronization increases greatly]
[Your synchronization level with the Stanford Pines model is 46%.]
"Damn... an increase of about thirty percent all at once?"
After a short minute of concentration, images of bolder plans appeared in his mind.
Despite these tempting plans, there was something more important from Gorou's point of view.
'My intelligence seems to have increased further.'
This would explain his new vision or perspective on things, which seemed to have... evolved.
"It seems old Stanford's heart really desires a woman."
The excitement wasn't hidden in Gorou's voice, but he forced himself to suppress his excitement.
He quickly prepared breakfast for his wife and placed it beside the bed without disturbing her restorative sleep.
'She deserves a break'
Miki had taken too much in too short a time, according to the scientist's opinion.
Whether it was the scandalous information related to the supernatural, or the news of her rejuvenated husband.
Gorou was going to have breakfast with her later.
He instinctively headed toward Issei's room, since he and Miki had always woken him up these past few weeks.
Because of his transformation into a devil, Issei had trouble with morning wake-ups.
Sound of door opening.
After opening Issei's bedroom door, Gorou stumbled upon a... supernatural spectacle.
"Uh..."
"I... it's not what it looks like"
A woman with scarlet red hair, flawless white skin, was pressed naked against his son.
'Go for it Issei, this is your chance!!'
Gorou said nothing, just gave Issei a thumbs up while quietly leaving the room.
...
'She's got quite a body for an entity from the underworld'
Rias Gremory's body was more obscene than he could have ever imagined.
Instead of returning to his room, Gorou decided to stay in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the duo.
After all, his son had a rough time yesterday and he'd literally thrown him into his mistress's arms.
It was a small action to apologize a bit.
'Fortunately, Issei isn't a grudge-holding type and he loves his family.'
It didn't take long for Rias and Issei to leave the latter's room to finally come have their breakfast.
To Gorou's great relief, the Gremory heiress didn't mention his young appearance negatively.
'It seems #### was able to modify my official data quickly enough'
There was also the option that Rias just didn't bother to thoroughly investigate a salaryman and housewife.
After all, the original Gorou was a man without history, without a criminal record.
"Mmm~ this is delicious"
Perhaps because of the awkward silence during breakfast, resulting from Rias's inappropriate behavior toward him.
Issei had trouble maintaining eye contact with Gorou, who just kept his poker face.
Rias seemed to want to start a conversation in an attempt to break this atmosphere.
"Haha, thanks"
Rias's attempt to escape this situation didn't escape Gorou.
Yet, he decided to converse a bit to help his silent son in his chair.
The boy made him feel a bit sorry now, as he was acting like a thief caught red-handed.
"So, are you Issei's girlfriend?"
He already knew the answer, but he wanted to know how the Gremory heiress would react.
"N... no..." Issei wanted to speak up, but Rias interrupted him.
"No, but I'm a friend and Issei's senior," she said, maintaining her smile.
Gorou just took a coffee, before slowly placing it on the table while maintaining eye contact with Rias.
His eyes sent a subtle message translatable as "Really?"
'Friends? If you told me fuck buddies, that would be believable but... you take me for an idiot??'
Despite his thoughts, he didn't let his clear skepticism show on his face.
He preferred to show it through words.
"I may be in my forties, but I know how to differentiate between 'normality' and 'abnormality' in a situation... miss?"
Since Rias had Western features, Gorou didn't use the usual Japanese honorifics.
Rias was slightly caught off guard by the English, but she gave her name.
"Rias Gremory, but you can call me Rias"
Despite the English, she replied in Japanese.
Maybe it's just him and Issei who are hearing Japanese.
After all, devils can understand all languages and reply in the language supposedly native to the interlocutor.
'This brat wants me to use a close honorific with her'
Rias wanted, in her official introduction, for Gorou to call her with an honorific used between close people.
But the devil hunter just ignored that and consumed his breakfast quickly.
"I prefer that you don't use your charms to play with my son's heart," he said clearly.
The DxD universe has tons of beautiful women and seeing his descendant playing the simp... it's annoying for Gorou.
He preferred to set things straight now between Issei and Rias.
"F..."
Issei wanted to intervene in the conversation, but Gorou interrupted him.
It wasn't a simple intimidating look or murderous intent, but that of a father in scolding mode.
"I don't know why you're talking to me in that tone, but if it's related to the scene in the bedroom..."
Rias tried hypnosis, but the dimensional steel shield in Gorou's body, linked to Stanford Pines, stopped the mental intrusion.
Despite this, this action wasn't discreet.
Gorou felt the shock of the failed mental intrusion.
"It's something completely ordinary at our age," Rias declared nonchalantly.
However, Rias didn't immediately notice the facial expression of the man in front of her.
Bolt.
Gorou had already grabbed his bolt, but he didn't direct it explicitly toward Rias.
It was under the table, for a simple and discreet shot.
The Gremory heiress had annoyed him.
"Little bat, I don't appreciate mental intrusions."
If before Gorou was neutral toward Rias and slightly positive, things were different now.
She had screwed up.
