Eventually Tsubaki gave the 'covert' reason as to why the president was so prone to panic in those circumstances, which was literally the truth minus Devils added to the count.

And with that, knowing myself the full truth, it was quite easy to grow less unhappy about those particular days.

My attention finally returned to reality as a box full of documents was set in front of me.

Ruruko sighed tiredly as she backed away from the last of the boxes I needed for today.

I nodded at the brunette, allowing her to get herself a cup of coffee from the small machine in the room.

It was something that Tsubaki had brought from her home, something that was meant to help us all go through the madness of every day through some good coffee.

I was well on my way to be done with my portion of suffering so that I could finally make my way back home and spend the rest of the day binge-watching shows with Kunou.

Since we had all our homework for the week done, we were pretty much left in peace until after the weekend. And I really wanted to introduce her to Blackadder.

She needed to build up her tastes in comedy, and it was my duty as a big brother to teach her in the ways of proper humor.

But just as I prepared to be finally done with that kind of burden, the door of the room was forced open by a certain former nun.

"S-Senpai. I…" Asia paused, noticing that she was literally half-yelling at me for some reason. "I need your… assistance."

I frowned, gesturing her to take a seat by the chair in front of me. While she did lower her tone, her sudden intrusion

"Did something bad happen?" I asked worryingly. "Do you need something, a glass of water or-"

"It's… It's about Ise-kun."

My frown deepened. "What happened?"

"I… Rias-san is planning to spend dinner with us, and Ise-kun already accepted this- Uh?"

As she started to introduce the current issue, I suddenly saw the rest of the room encroaching on us and taking closer seats to the conversation.

Asia found this behavior odd, but I found it mostly frustrating since I could tell where the problem was going to end into.

"And?" I pressed on, trying to get the conversation to go on.

"And… Rias-san also managed to invite her brother and his wife to the dinner too."

Oh Lord, that wasn't- what the-

I believe that's a trap.

A big one at that. Holy shit, why did Rias decide to go nuclear on this?

People do extreme things when feeling… 'threatened'.

It didn't take me much to realize what Lucifer was alluding to. In the original timeline, Asia was put in a serious disadvantage from day one when it came to the 'competition' between herself, Rias, and the other girls aiming at Issei's heart.

Now that the situation I had created for her put her in mostly even footing with the redhead, the blonde's natural charisma, kindness, and prowess in being a 'wife' at home created the most unpleasant scenario the Crimson Princess of Ruin could've envisioned out of her efforts to conquer the boy's heart.

In layman's terms, she was in a tight spot with Asia having the best of chances to seal the deal with Ise.

And it was all because by all means the younger girl was less pushy regarding her romantic feelings.

To Rias this was also uncharted territory, and having been able to get through most problems with sheer determination and pure willpower, she had yet to build up something of a balance to keep herself from sounding too… excessive with her own mannerism.

It wasn't like she was bad at social things, but love was a finicky thing that Rias knew zero about.

Mostly because her family's reputation and her big brother hounded away from her any chances to at least experience what it meant being in a relationship of that kind.

And right now, to avoid losing anymore in that kind of race, she needed to make a show of strength to make herself stand out to Asia right in front of Issei's parents.

The idea was brilliant, if not insane and more of a gamble considering that it all revolved around the way Grayfia decided to keep hold of her husband's behavior about his sister's romantic interest.

"I suppose you want some advice in dealing with that situation," I guessed, getting a nod from the girl and soon I continued. "Then I believe the answer is pretty simple, but I need to elaborate on that. Ready?"

She gave a slow nod, confused by the strange request I was asking from her.

"Now, your best bet for tonight is… to be yourself."

…

"Senpai, the heck is that!" Ruruko lamented with an annoyed tone. "Sure, it works on a normal situation but-"

"I'm not done yet," I muttered quietly, getting the irked brunette to pause and allow me to at least deliver a proper explanation behind that overused reply.

"Rias' strategy hangs around something she expects you to do. She expects you to take risks yourself and make a bad impression by trying too hard."

"Trying too… hard?" Asia repeated in confusion.

"He is saying that, since Rias is playing a gamble herself, she will surely want you to make a false step in trying to go beyond that on your own," Sona reiterated with a quiet hum.

"She is someone that is willing to take risks, with this being a good tactic to drive her opponent to make gambles themselves and show weaknesses for her to exploit."

"So… she expects me to… push myself too hard onto it?"

"Yeah," Tsurara replied with a nod. "It's like a feint or something like that."

"She is trying to appear unbeatable by having her brother around to probably shower her with praises and compliments, maybe to also convince Issei's parents that she is also someone worthy of becoming a girlfriend to him if Sirzechs-sama is genuinely convinced of this," Reya added.
