"Good evening, everyone. The Gremory Clan thanks you for attending this party. We are hosting this party to celebrate the heiress apparent of our clan's first victory in the Rating Game. An array of drinks are currently being served, and food shall be served soon. I hope you all enjoy the party."
Apparently invitations for a party had already been sent out to many different nobles of the Underworld before the Rating Game even happened.
It was a joint party of both the Gremory and Phenex Clans to celebrate the eventual result of the Rating Game between Rias and Riser.
Clearly everyone had been expecting Riser to win, and thus expected it to be an engagement party. Rias' upset victory changed that though.
The party was too late to cancel, and they couldn't exactly celebrate that the marriage wasn't going to happen.
Apparently they decided to make it a party to celebrate Rias' first Rating Game victory.
Naruto really didn't care, honestly. Something else was on his mind. Turning to Rias, he once again demanded indignantly, "Why do I got to wear this monkey suit? It's uncomfortable."
Giving a heavy sigh, Rias explained once again, "This is a formal party. Formal wear is required. Just deal with it. It's not like wearing a tuxedo for a few hours will kill you."
"It might, and I don't really want to take that chance," Naruto retorted quickly. Seeing Rias just roll her eyes at him, he started fiddling with the tie as he grumbled, "This tie is too tight."
Slapping Naruto's hands away from the tie of the knot, Rias snapped in exasperation, "It isn't too tight. These clothes were adjusted specifically to fit you by professional tailors. They even took your measurements, remember?"
"Don't remind me," Naruto murmured petulantly. Those tailors had measured everything, and Naruto meant everything. At least they were guys…Actually, that just makes it worse. If Naruto was going to be pseudo molested, he'd prefer the one doing the molesting be female. "That should count as sexual harassment. Those tailors officially know more about my body now then I do. They even refused to let me wear orange, not even the tie. I might have been able to take being choked by a piece of cloth if it was at least orange."
Rias just raised a hand to her forehead. Apparently Naruto disliked formal parties. He's been complaining the entire time.
Rias could understand a bit. Naruto and 'formal' were basically mortal enemies.
Being forced to wear a tuxedo and surrounded by people Naruto would likely consider to be pretentious and snobby is far from what Naruto would consider enjoyable.
Still doesn't mean she isn't getting tired of his childish grumblings.
Turning to him, she looked him in the eyes seriously before asking sincerely, "Please, Naruto-kun. Just endure it. Two hours. That's all I'm asking. After that you can return to your usual joking, playful, and disrespectful ways."
"…Promise I can be disrespectful again afterwards?" Naruto asked seriously.
"I promise."
"Fine," Naruto said while lowering his head.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun," Rias exclaimed in relief.
Resigned to the party, Naruto looked around as he reminisced on how he ended up in this situation.
As soon as they were teleported out of the battlefield, they were separated. After being treated for any injuries, they were given some food before being put to bed.
After waking up, Naruto was forced to follow do a bunch of seemingly random things. He'd gone to tailors, seen a stylist for a haircut, and had even been doused with cologne.
No answers or anything. By the time Naruto had been shown to the party, he'd been a step away from punching someone.
Thankfully, Rias had quickly found him before he could throw a fit over being led around like a dog all day.
At least he looked good. Naruto had never felt he was a particularly good looking guy.
He knew he had some good features, but he wasn't overtly handsome like Sasuke or Yuuto were.
Right now he was drawing some looks though. No doubt some from his performance in the match, but more than a few were admiring looks from nearby females.
Naruto's blond hair had been washed with some fancy shampoo that made it even brighter than usual.
Hair gel had been used to slick back a majority of his hair, but a few of the longer bangs were left to fall down to eye level.
He was dressed in a black, silk tuxedo that probably cost more than anything Naruto had ever worn before.
Naruto still couldn't compete with someone like Yuuto, but he didn't care.
Speaking of Yuuto, Naruto spotted him. Yuuto's hair was slicked back similarly to Naruto, and he was dressed in a differently styled tuxedo.
Clearly Naruto hadn't been the only one receiving a makeover.
As expected, the princely knight was surrounded by a gaggle of young female devils enamored by his appearance.
The rest of Rias' peerage was scattered around the hall.
Akeno was wearing a formal kimono that really emphasized her Yamato Nadeshiko vibe. A couple of male devils were talking to her, although Akeno looked rather uncomfortable. Naruto had little doubt she would eventually excuse herself.
Koneko and Asia were together at a table. Koneko was wearing a pink, strapless piece, and Asia was wearing an baby blue cocktail dress.
The two were eating, and that appeared to prevent anyone from trying to talk to them.
Raynare was sitting at a table in a corner. She was wearing a plum colored evening gown that was very stylish, and suited her greatly.
Everyone kept their distance though as she was sending out an aura that discouraged anyone from talking to her. She was clearly in a mood.
And of course one couldn't forget about Rias. Rias was wearing a white evening gown.
It bared her shoulders and complimented her bust greatly, the bottom falling to the ground to hide her legs.
A diamond necklace was around her neck, but otherwise she was devoid of jewelry.
As the star of the party, her looks only solidified that she would be the center of attention here.
