That claim actually was… heart-warming. I did forget that Ingvild wasn't blessed with a nice childhood, so to be bestowed with so much devotion and affection was nice.

"I wonder why-"

"Both of you, stop."

There was silence, and their stare was on me.

Commendable reaction. I might have some reservation on being too rude on ladies, but I guess this spectacle was going a touch too far.

"I don't wish to inquire as to why you two have decided to quarrel over this situation. Akeno-san is a friend of mine, and I consider her as close as you are to me, Ingvild,"

I continued with a calm tone. "But I would also request that you don't antagonize each other, especially by going down that 'path', Akeno-san. I know you're better than this."

They both bowed their head in shame, displaying some understanding that they were both escalating the situation beyond comedic.

I can understand some eccentric instances from both, but going as far as insulting each other in that personal manner wasn't something I was willing to condone.

Kunou hummed as she took a few steps towards me and took hold of my left hand. I glanced down, noticing her happy look. "Can I hold your hand, Niichan?"

I forgot how tiny she is.

Confusion roused at that sudden request and the inner comment, but I offered a silent nod at the calm Kitsune.

It was in that moment that I noticed that we were starting to run a little late with the first lessons, and I decided to switch my priority to get both Kunou and Ravel to their respective classrooms before I guided the two embarrassed girls now behind me to our classroom.

The young Phenex decided to offer some of her own questions regarding the school's swimming pool and if it was mandatory to know how to swim to make use of it.

My answers were highly-detailed as I needed to make a good impression, but the gist was that Kuoh Academy allowed students to make use of it either to learn how to swim, or during special P.E. lessons that happened mostly during summertime.

The discussion lasted up until we arrived at the young Devil's classroom.

Koneko was waiting by the doorstep, her stare locking onto us as we approached.

But while there was a sense of lightness in her expression as she regarded those she knew, confusion and curiosity exploded before the new faces.

"Senpai," She regarded with a nod before turning to greet the girls. "Akeno-san, Ku-kohai."

"Ko-senpai," Kunou returned with a mirthful tone. "Today you're getting a new classmate!"

The news were already known by the silver-haired Nekoshou from the way her expression hardly changed at the words. "Really?"

Everyone could tell how unimpressed she was by her tone.

"Kohai, I hope you understand that you shouldn't behave this grumpily with someone you've yet to met," I chided softly. "After all, you did give a chance to Ku-chan, didn't you?"

I can tell that there is a degree of trust between you and this 'Koneko' that isn't anywhere as low as the one she has for others in this school.

'You can… read emotions?'

Not truly. But I can tell if someone is selectively at ease with people by the way their energy pattern feels.

The Nekomata actually offered me a brief pout before sighing. I took the opportunity to gesture Ravel closer.

"Introduce yourselves to each other," I requested and the blonde was the one that, despite her uneasiness before the task, took the initiative.

"I'm Ravel Phenex, and it's nice to meet you, Koneko."

Koneko actually blinked at that introduction, perhaps surprised by the lack of arrogance she had expected from a member of the Phenex family.

If I remember correctly, Raiser was the only contact she had with that Clan, so I wouldn't be surprised she had built up a negative look over that group of people.

But these polite words accompanied with the most genuine of voices drawn a surprised look out of her.

"Koneko Toujou," She replied quietly. "Nice to meet you."

A smile adorned Ravel's face and she nodded at the curt introduction.

Then Koneko glanced back at me. "Also Senpai, I wished to know if it would be fine with you and Kunou if I could spend the night at your house."

I frowned at the request, but Kunou gasped loudly and giddily at the prospect. "A sleepover?"

The Nekoshou offered a smile and a nod, prompting the Kitsune to glance at me with a single powerful desire.

"Please?"

Closing my eyes at the powerful display of the puppy-eyes technique, I gave a slow nod. "It wouldn't be a problem. Only thing is that you both would've to do your homework."

The girls both nodded and with that little situation concluded, Koneko and Ravel entered the classroom as their teacher was just approaching by the corner.

With this little situation done, we went to leave Kunou right to her classroom and I offered a quick hug before letting her go.

The walk that followed, the one that saw Akeno, Ingvild, and I directed at our last destination proved to be more intriguing than I had expected.

"So, how did you meet Hoitsu-kun?" The Himejima decided to ask out of pure curiosity.

"I've met him while he was working in Germany a couple of weeks ago," The lavender-haired Devil answered, her tone quiet and tight.

Maybe she was still unsure if the previously tense atmosphere had truly settled.

"I… I didn't know that Hoitsu-kun went to Germany," Baraqiel's daughter admitted truthfully, offering me a confused look. "When did it happen?"

"When I was away from Kuoh for a full week," I answered calmly. "I work for someone quite rich and that has plenty of establishments around the world. Nothing truly important, but his activity is growing each day."

Akeno nodded, turning her attention back on the fellow girl.

"So you two have been friends until that point, right?"

Her question was met with a nod, but then she continued. "And I guess he told you a lot about Kuoh Town."
