"She is my mother along with our sisters," Sirzechs spoke up. "Speaking of," he asked Venelana, "where is Rias? She was supposed to be here to greet her long-lost brother!
" As he said the last part, he was once again forming tears of love in his eyes.
"I'm here!" The nearby door slammed open, and in charged a girl with the same red hair as Jake and Sirzechs. Jake saw that she looked to be around the same age as him, and he would describe her as incredibly beautiful.
She was looking slightly disheveled though. She was followed by an also incredibly beautiful Japanese girl with surprisingly large assets.
"Ara. I'm afraid my king was up all night watching anime again and has just woken up a bit ago upon getting the news of her long-lost brother's return.
" The Japanese girl explained to everyone in the room while Jake's new sister looked mortified.
She pouted at the other girl. "Akeno! You're not supposed to tell them I was up all night watching anime. You're supposed to make something else up." She stomped her foot adorably.
Jake just started laughing loudly and nearly tearing up at their antics. Everyone turned to him in surprise at such a display.
"I'm sorry," Jake said, wiping the tears from his eyes. "It's been an incredibly trying day for me," he trailed off sadly. "Apparently, I lost a whole bunch of time."
Rias, his sister, walked over and actually gave him another big hug. "It's nice to officially meet you, Jacob, or I guess you prefer Jake, huh?" She spoke kindly to him.
"I grew up with Big Sister Luna telling me all the stories about your adventures together and at that wizard school, Hogwarts. I've always wanted to meet you!" She finally released the hug with a smile.
"Thank you," Jake said as he felt a lot better about everything that was going on.
He had truly missed out on a whole 20 years, and now it was just catching up to him for real at seeing he had a full-grown, almost-adult sister now.
Jake took a seat on a nearby luxurious couch and just let out a sigh. He was glad nobody seemed to care that he was completely disheveled and covered in blood, sitting on a probably super-expensive couch.
"Why don't I leave you all to get reacquainted with each other," Sairaorg once again spoke out as he hoisted his unconscious father over his shoulder. Jake had forgotten the former Lord Bael was even still alive.
"I'll just leave this guy in your dungeons to face justice later." With that, he took off down the hallway.
The other girl, Akeno, Jake recalled, just bowed to everyone and said she would escort Sairaorg to the dungeons. She shut the door behind her as she followed him out.
The rest of the people in the room, "his family," Jake reminded himself, took seats around him with understanding looks on their faces. "I know you've been through a lot, Jake," Sirzechs said with sincerity.
"But we'd appreciate if you could tell us what happened in that final task of yours 20 years ago—er, I mean, today.
That way we can officially start a trial against the former Lord Bael now that we've caught him after all this time." He finished with a quick apology at the end.
Jake just nodded but didn't speak right away. He supposed he would have to get used to it being 20 years in the future.
When he time-traveled to the past before, he was basically a poor orphan with no friends or family, but after gaining friends, however few, he was sad that they had probably continued living their lives thinking he vanished for good or something.
Other than Luna, that was. 'Did she foresee this entire event happening?' If so, Jake wondered why she didn't warn him!
Rias, who he had only known a few minutes, was already proving to be a great sister when she spoke up, noticing Jake wasn't responding right away.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it right now, Jake," she said. "We're not exactly in a rush. We can wait a few more days for you to get acclimated. Plus, you look pretty banged up. Well, not you, you actually look surprisingly fine.
It's your outfit that looks absolutely mangled, though," she said with a bit of concern. Rias wondered what kind of fight he had been through to have so much blood soak his tattered robes.
Venelana also agreed with her daughter and decided to put her foot down on this one.
"Rias is right," Venelana said to Sirzechs with slight shame. "My new son has clearly been through a lot today.

Why don't we pick this conversation up again tomorrow or, better yet, the day after?
" Venelana then turned towards Jake and told him that she'd have a maid escort him to his new quarters where he could bathe and get out of his bloody robes and change into what she called proper clothing for a descendant of a pillar clan.
Jake thanked her as he stood up to do just that when he realized he had forgotten something. He looked around the room before realizing what he was missing. "Huh," he said aloud. "What happened to Blaze?"
Flash!
As he spoke his familiar's name aloud, there was a flash of fire in the room, and his phoenix appeared nearby, perched on the back of a chair.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Blaze's chirps sounded angry, and Jake realized that when Sairaorg had teleported them here, they had... forgotten about Blaze and left him behind.
"I'm sorry, buddy. I didn't mean to forget you out there!" Jake exclaimed as his new sister just giggled next to him.
PECK!
"Ow!"
