And not hiding anything, I told both of them everything I knew. .
My Father and Tsubaki had different thoughts at the time I bowed my head admitting to making a huge issue between the Devils and the Shinto Gods followers. My father did not have anger on his face, but his serious side kicked in, and he asked the girl.
"Young lady Tsubaki of the Shinra Clan, you have put my Gremory family and the Devils in a sticky position, and this is fine, but the issue is what to do with you now. So I will tell you what your three options are, to avoid a conflict between factions.
He held up a finger.
"We return you back to your Clan. "
He put up the second finger.
"You serve Ray as a future Reincarnated Devil Peerage member, in his soon to be formed team, and gain the protection of the Duke House of Gremory. "
Finally with the seriousness of a long lived Devil, He lifted a third finger while he said.
"You leave now and never make contact with us again, leaving your fate to chance, so young Human girl, what do you wish for your future?"
Tsubaki looked to me for my input, so I shrugged and said.
"I cannot tell you what choice to make, because they all affect your life. But, I do know if you take option 2, I will not treat you badly, like some Devil Houses treat Servants.
This is the only thing I can promise you. "
No matter what I do, or where I go, my very footsteps change fate in this world. Tsubaki, with certainty in her eyes, bowed her head to me and said.
"Prince Gremory, for saving me, I Tsubaki Shinra will loyally serve you as a Devil of Gremory. Please protect me.
My Father said with a joyful smile, knowing this girl was a treasure, and most likely had a Legendary Sacred Gear in her.
"Congratulations Ray and Tsubaki. You are now officially Ray's very first servant, so let us go.
Gurgle Gurgle! My Father and I both looked at Tsubaki's tummy, which made loud protesting noises, and my Father laughed hearing it and said.
"There is a restaurant right across the street, let us fill your belly young lady, ha-ha. "
So with shame on her face, Tsubaki followed the two of us out after paying for my stupid Cosplay outfit. Then we went across the street to, [Ears and Omelets!]
As the three of us entered, Ears and Omelets, the greeter was a Youkai Nekomata pretending to be a Human cosplaying, and with her long scorpion-braid red hair and blue eyes, she cutely greets us, even sensing we are Devils with a Human.
"Hello guest, party of 3 ~Nya? I am your greeter Li, so follow me ~Nya!"
We follow this cute cat-girl wearing a revealing sailor outfit, and she never once lost her playful smile or cheerful way of talking. She put 3 menus on the table and told us.
"While your server comes, I will get you drinks ~Nya. "
After Li had given us our beverages, and we finished looking at the menus, the server came to take our order, and I did a double take.
A similar copy to the previous girl had come to serve us, but her hair was blue in a long ponytail and she had red eyes, then she said cutely.
"I am your server, Ni, and what can I get ya ~Nya?"
My Father looked entertained by this, Tsubaki looked to be in shock going from isolation, to too many species popping up, and me?
My Gremory tingle was firing off on full blast with the two Nekomata twins! Or, I just have entered puberty and their slightly exposed breasts are distracting me?
No it is the cat ears, I just want to pet them, damn. .
"I am your server, Ni, and what can I get ya ~Nya?"
My Father, a pro in Human world cuisine, as a cook himself, starts his order.
"I will have the Hamburger Steak with mushroom gravy, and a coffee. "
With stars in my eyes, I point to the restaurant special and order.
"I will take the Special, Omurice Omelette with ketchup hearts. And for the young lady, give her the three most popular meals, and thanks, Miss Ni.
Ni picked up the menus and said with a playful tone.
"Orders are coming up ~Nya!"
After she left, Tsubaki said quietly.
"I-I do not think I can eat that much Ray. "
"Not a problem, we do not lack this little money, and since I do not know what you do or don't like, and the fact you will hesitate to order, I just got you a nice selection of choices. I do not think you have eaten properly in a while, so your nutrition will be our first task.
"T-Thank you. "
While we waited for the food, my Father asked a few easy questions to Tsubaki, things like what skills she has learned, and what she felt her strengths were.
After a while hearing everything, my Father rubbed his chin in thought and told me.
"Ray my Son, Tsubaki is an all-rounder talent, perfect for the Queen Piece position. She has a wealth of spell casting knowledge, weapon skill, and the proper mental fortitude.
Most Queens are truly only Wizard types where Tsubaki isn't only a Wizard type, but she can bring out the Knight and Rook aspect of the Queen Piece. Lastly, if I am correct, Tsubaki, you may even have the super rare, Sacred Gear in you.
Thus only a Queen Piece is suitable for you. "
I nodded to all of my Dad's points and it made a lot of sense. And Tsubaki could not believe she was being recommended for such a place in my Peerage, so she asked.
"But Ray, I do not think I am that special, and I fear I will disappoint you. I do not want to shame you.
