Pov Dia,

Three years have passed since Sera, Rimuru and I became Scathach-sensei's disciples.

A lot has changed.

First my relationship with Rimuru, since she confessed her feelings I continue to question my feelings towards her.

The problem we did nothing special that could tell me our relationship could be more than friends or her point of view master and maid.

Sera doesn't like me hiding something about my relationship with Rimuru. For her, it's like we're hiding a secret from her and trying to pull the info off us using the fact that we're best friends.

Second, I manage to put the runes on my crimson weapons quite quickly. It takes me only 1 minute to do it. So the strategy if I have to create a crimson weapon during a fight, Sera and Rimuru fight the opponent while I put the runes on my weapons.

With the addition of runes, I can have fun giving an incredible design to my weapons without it asking me too much concentration because I could freeze the shape with runes.

Third, my mastery of the Imperial Claymore has evolved well. I know how to do a lot of technique without having to use my wings. I also try to control sudden changes of direction in my shots. It is much more difficult because the weapon is still a little heavy and stopping the momentum of the weapon to direct it in another direction is still a little hard.

According to Scathach-sensei, it would take me a few more years to be a master in this weapon.

Fourth, it took me a little more than 2 years to sleep well while being ready for anything that could happen. I am quite sad about this point because in principle a complete sleep is more pleasant than a sleep while being ready for everything.

I wonder if one day I could sleep like before.

Fifthly, it's finally time to rest. I do not complain about my training, but it is always nice to have some rest from time to time.

The only moment of relaxation here is when we do not train that is to say only 8h.

Scathach:" Don't forget to train another 30 minutes a day just to keep fit."

Dia, Sera and Rimuru:" Hai, Scathach-sensei."

Scathach:" Perfect, also Rimuru takes advantage of this occasion to continue to train you to make a good little dish."

Rimuru:" If I would, but not because you told me Scathach-sensei. It's just for Dia-sama that I train to cook."

The first time we came back Rimuru talked to Mom about what she wanted to do in life and made some recommendation.

Since that day, all the servants of the house Gremory and Sitri dress him in the uniform of maid or butler.

She also enjoys the holidays to start cooking as this skill is important for a personal maid. At least that's his point of view.

We started using the transporter circle to get back home. In fact, we will arrive in the Gremory territory, but the parents of Sera in any case, Lady Sitri will be there to take her home.

Once I arrived, I did not have time to see what was around me that I felt being lifted and cuddled.

Sirzechs:" What a pleasure to see you back."

Dia:" Onii-sama you're choking me."

Sirzechs: "I'm just glad to see you again."

I had been hugged by Sirzechs except that he did it a little too hard and I could not breathe.

Venelana:" Sirzechs you never learned that it is up to the parent to greet their child before the brother and sister."

Sirzechs: "Sorry, but as I said, it's emotion."

Dia:" Mom, where's Dad?"

Venelana:" He's in his office working. He couldn't get free because the subject was important today."

Dia:" I hope he doesn't work until he faints. "

Sirzechs:" Compare to your training, what it does is a health walk. Now, I want you to tell me about everything that happened when you were gone. "

Rimuru:" I suggest you go into the living room before doing this Dia-sama. Besides, I'm going to have to leave you for tea. "

After saying that she went to the kitchen.

Mirabelle:" Let's do what Rimuru proposed Venelana. "

Venelana:" That's a good idea Mirabelle."

We headed to the salon and then Sera and I talked about everything that had happened while Rimuru came back with a tea service and gave us tea to everyone.

Sirzechs:" If this continues I will be overtaken by you."

Dia:" I'm already kicking you with my weapon mastery, my POD control and I'm not far from beating you in a 1 vs 1 fight."

Sirzechs: "I have to start training or I won't be worthy to be called big brother."

Before I could say anything, the door opened and revealed Dad.

Zeoticus:" So that was your training with Scathahh."

Dia:" Yes, I learned a lot."

Zeoticus:" Okay, so much better now I have to talk to you about something."

Dad had come to tell me something and not listen to me about my training.

Zeoticus:" As we know in a few days you will be 10 years old."

Dia:" Yes, so what do you mean?"

Zeoticus:" I've decided to engage you with the heir to the Phenex house. Ruval Phenex."

He had a silence after this revelation.

Dia:" No way."
