A few days later after the meeting with Sirzechs and his plan to head out to the human world. As Meelis prepared for his trip to the human world, he found himself surrounded by his companions in the spacious hall of the Gremory mansion.

Grayfia, standing at the front, was giving final instructions to the group before they left, making sure that everyone was ready and good to go. Rias stood beside Meelis, her excitement barely contained, while Kuroka, Koneko, and Akeno watched with calm interest.

"Remember," Grayfia began, her tone stern, no longer in her Maid Mode since she was treating them as smaller siblings in need of teaching, "This visit is meant to be discreet. You will be in the human world, where the church and other organizations hostile to devils roam around. Meelis-sama, use this opportunity to scout potential new members for your peerage, but do not attract unnecessary attention."

'Why do I feel like she's singling me out? Don't tell me it's because of all those 'luck pervert' moments she always suffers from me.' Meelis laughed inwardly at the thought.

If Meelis had made a mind reading skill, he'd know he was right.

'Meelis, why is every time I am around you that some accident always happens, if it weren't for my vast amount of experience, I'd have gone through a mental breakdown from all those mistakes I keep making while around you. If I'm not careful I bet, he will cause some accident which will cause us lots of trouble.' Grayfia thought in accusations.

{Author: btw a little explanation here, the reason I haven't done much of those scenes its cause if it just did it every chapter it'd just be repetitive so I'm only rarely gonna do those scenes just know they happen, as for with who well its not any of the kid characters yet, for obvious reasons…. Gotta at least wait until the cannon starts, as for venelana, grayfia, and other females… they're fair game.}

Meelis nodded, barely containing his smirk. His mind was already spinning with plans, particularly about a certain blond swordsman that he was keen on meeting. 'If my guess is right, Issei should already be in Kuoh around this time, as for Kiba, he should be somewhere in Europe, considering Kiba was part of the Excalibur experiment, he should be in the Vatican, or at the very least somewhere in Italy.' he mused.

'I wonder if I could get my own servant, in DxD there's a few characters who would fit in well as servants, but most of those are already under different factions, or differ in beliefs, which honestly is the easiest part to change. Maybe I could get Irina? No, I want her to meet Xenovia first, maybe Asia? Even though she's not bad she's not really one of my favorites but having a healer is never bad, not to mention getting her complete loyalty is going to be pretty easy.'

'Well, I'll get to it when I can, Asia is in some church from an unknown location, and searching for her could make misunderstandings, so maybe I should make some sort of contact with the Nun-Fetishist first and let him deal with the trouble.'

As Meelis was busy with his inner thoughts, Kuroka stretched lazily, her cat ears twitching in anticipation. "Nyaa~ I can't wait to explore the human world again. It's been a while," she purred, throwing a glance at Meelis, who gave her a nod absentmindedly.

Akeno, with her usual 'Onee-san' smile, glanced at Rias. "Ara ara, this will be fun, won't it, Rias? We might find some interesting individuals to add to our peerages."

Koneko said nothing and just nodded; she had higher priorities eating some cookies she got from who knows where.

Rias grinned, her excitement now bubbling over. "Absolutely! It's time to expand and strengthen our forces. Meelis, let's see who manages to recruit the best members!"

Meelis merely rolled his eyes, though a small smile tugged at his lips. "Right. Let's just not get too carried away. We are here to scout, not to stir up trouble."

Grayfia, sensing the group's readiness, raised her hand, a magic circle forming beneath them. "Very well. I'll be accompanying you, but I'll stay in the background. If anything goes wrong, I will intervene."

With a flash of light, the group disappeared from the Underworld and reappeared at the edge of Kuoh Town. The air was crisp, and the small town bustled with activity. Meelis took a deep breath, savoring the change in scenery.

 Why go to Kuoh Town now? Well, Kuoh is part of the Devil's territory and heading to Japan was Rias' idea, though they are just passing by and will not stay for long.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Scene Change-

As they arrived at the outskirts of Kuoh Town, the group took a moment to adjust to their new surroundings. The town was peaceful, with trees lining the streets and a light breeze blowing through the leaves.

Meelis glanced around, taking in the quiet atmosphere that was soon to be disturbed by their arrival.

"Alright, remember," Grayfia said, her eyes scanning each member of the group, "we are here for scouting purposes only. Keep a low profile."

Rias nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Yes, Grayfia. We'll be careful," she assured, though her enthusiasm suggested that she was already planning her own approach to finding potential peerage members.

Akeno smiled gently, adding, "Ara ara, I'll make sure Rias stays out of trouble."

Kuroka, stretching her arms, let out a playful yawn. "Nyaa~ Don't worry so much, Grayfia. We'll behave… mostly," she said with a sly grin, her tail swishing behind her. After a while of everyone getting to know each other, and a little bit of influence in part of Meelis' (Alluring Scent), has allowed not just Kuroka, but also Koneko to open up to the group and truly start to show off their personalities.

Koneko, with a cookie still in her mouth, simply nodded in agreement. She didn't talk much, but everyone knew she'd keep an eye on Rias

Meelis, on the other hand, was already planning his own course of action. 'I need to get a lay of the land first,' he thought, his mind briefly flashing to the certain individuals he intended to seek out in the human world. 'Kiba is my first target. If he's still in Europe, I'll need to contact some corrupt church officials to ask for the location for the Excalibur experiment, I doubt we'd be lucky enough to find it ourselves now with all the butterfly effects I probably caused.'

Grayfia turned to Meelis, eyes narrowing slightly. "Meelis-sama, remember to exercise restraint. We cannot afford any unnecessary incidents while we're here," she reminded him, her gaze hinting at past experiences with a slight blush on her cheeks.
