"But I know Niichan doesn't think any of that," The kitsune rebuked. "A-And it would be more efficient if I changed there with you."

…

"Can I ask why you feel so worried that I don't want to do this?" I asked kindly, trying to coax her to lower her current nervousness.

She huffed. "It's nothing."

I sighed, knowing that I was going to face a stubborn Kunou early in the morning.

"If you tell me thruth I might consider. But I need you to be honest about it," I proposed with a hum, quickly noticing her foxy ears twitching at the offer. "I don't want to… push you too much, but I feel like bottling things like this might hurt you in the long term."

The blonde nodded. "And you wouldn't want that, right?" She pushed back with a hint of tease. "Because Niichan cares a lot."

I smirked and patted her head again. The gesture finalized the little deal as the girl started to explain what drove her to try out what a certain brunette had suggested to her. I was sure as hell going to have a nice chat with Aika once I was done with my duties at the Student Council.

Still, I kept listening to Kunou's own worries over this matter. While we had both been showing positive interactions that would suggest the closeness that only siblings would have, the girl was still uncertain over the limits of the relationship. It was a new ground to work from, especially for someone that had such a lonely childhood like the young yokai.

In the end, I decided to accept the blonde's request of changing together with me by the bathroom, but only at the girl's acceptance of the simple rule that we both weren't going to look at each other as we changed for the school's uniforms.

It was pretty awkward at first, but then Kunou tried to make some conversation out of the situation. She was nervous herself, but the determination to try and make this experience somewhat 'normal' was met with some nods from my part while I responded to her own words.

Once we were done by the bathroom and we blitzed through breakfast, we were out of the house with a somewhat happy prospect for the day that had yet to fully start. In fact, I found myself wondering about the dangerous saccharine potential of having someone like Asia meeting with the tiny thing that was my pretty lady.

I knew that the former nun was going to be elated at the prospect of seeing and interacting with someone as cute at Kimiko, and I was certain that the Sprite Dragon would've enjoyed the kind soul of the girl. And the belly-rubs. Always the belly-rubs.

My brief thoughts were interrupted when I noticed that someone familiar was waiting by the entrance of the school. I blinked when I saw that Issei looked incredibly uneasy as he patiently looked around beside a calm-looking Asia.

"Ise-kohai, Asia-chan," I greeted them both with an apprehensive look. "What's with the long faces?"

The brunet was the first one to speak and… he wasn't bearing any good news. Not at all.

"S-Senpai, we need to talk," The young man began, his tone showing quite an avalanche behind it. "It's… it's about Buchou."

I blinked at the strange topic, but I decided to narrow down the issue to something that would get Issei to sweat bullets like this. I glanced up at Asia, the girl looking a little bit uneasy at the subject itself.

"Walk beside us… and start explaining," I mentioned with a tense but calm tone, unwilling to let out my own concern over the already-nervous kohais of mine. The brunet nodded and Asia followed his example as we made our way inside the school.

"It's about Phenex. Rias-Buchou said that they were visiting soon."

They? I felt a little bit at ease at the idea that Ruval had actually taken to heart the letter sent to him, yet I had my hopes restrained at the chance of the boy only referring to Raiser and his peerage as a group. The mere thought that the blond was going to make a cameo this early on was distressing, but not unexpected as to how things are moving with the plot.

I would've given a couple more of weeks before the 'fried chicken' turned up, but I guess that the shaking boat that is this world wouldn't just allow me an easy life about it. So I nodded at the brunet and glanced at him.

"Did Rias mention who exactly was going to visit?" I pressed to see this little question solved. "Some names or… even some titles?"

"She said that there was going to be the man she was supposed to marry… and I think she also said that his brother was meant to be there too to ask questions to her."

I nodded, feeling a smile forming at this development. It seemed like the plan Sona and I made to counter this issue was indeed working. I was still surprised over the suddenness of the situation, but I knew that it would only do well to us if the situation was dealt with earlier than planned.

Less dangerous threats along the road, and more opportunity for Issei to grow up to stand well against the obstacles between him and success. And his success was also going to be my win because of how much I was investing in his positive growth.

"Then the situation isn't terrible. Quite the opposite I would say," I finally replied to the young man. "The only thing I will ask from you, Ise, is to keep yourself from warranting any escalations from Raiser."

"What? Why would I even-" He tried to defend his own manners, but I was quickly responding to his little surprise.

"His peerage is structured like a Harem," I dropped the bomb with a cautious tone, instantly regretting telling him that so bluntly with the way his body went stiff at the revelation. "He will try to goad Rias by 'playing around' with his own peerage. And I know that you can see why I want you to not make any sudden moves about it."
