Sona was smart and very perceptive to things around her, but also relatively naive and easy to mislead when particular individuals had a grip over her for a reason or another.

A bright example is how easily she can cave at her older sister's request of joining her in some events with magical girls' costumes.

"Y-you-"

There was a long pause after that botched attempt to reply, this ending with a tired sigh from her.

"You are correct."

She leaned on her chair. "Rias has been pointing out that you were quite stern about keeping 'Asia from picking the club she wanted'-"

I opened my mouth but the president held her hand, gesturing me to keep quiet.

"Tsubaki-san was quick enough to rectify this 'mistaken' thought as she was present when the encounter had unfolded and she had spared afew words with Asia-san to confirm your point of view over this situation."

I blinked in surprise at this new detail.

I mean, I was fairly close to Tsubaki after having closely worked with her for months now.

There was nothing of romantic about our relationship as she had been keen to state that she was not interested in pursuing anything serious with anyone right now, but to think that she would go out of her way to confirm my version was… touching.

"Still, I have realized that during our last encounter Rias-san had mentioned some facts that weighed heavily over the school's current situation," Sona mentioned and I quickly connected this to the coalition she and the redhead shared for this territory. "Her father is an influential donor to the Academy, his funds help to sustain a steady income to maintain our present's situation."

I can see where she was trying to go but I could see her looking away while giving this last bit.

Rias was far too much a softie to contemplate pulling a 'rich-girl' act and get Zeoticus to pull out his donations to the school. The Academy was her base was and having it closing down would have been a stupid risk to take just for the sake of adding a new member to her peerage.

But I had to give it to Sona, if I hadn't known the situation to the fullest and didn't know about the tell-tale signs of her lying, I might have thought badly of the Gremory's heiress by now with just this.

"Then I will make sure to avoid any situation that could warrant any reason for her… to make a scene."

My words caused the girl to nod nervously as it seemed like she herself trying to digest her own lie even now.

"I will leave you to this matter. I hope that… you understand my concerns and why this happened." I nodded at her hesitant self, smiling a little

"I do, Sona-taichou. But I want to say only this to you." I said with a serious tone. "I know that, if you give some thought over this matter, some way to circumvent this predicament can be found and I believe you will do that."

The following smile, a hopeful one, was what made the girl pause in her tracks, her eyes darting away as she considered those words.

"Also, I wanted to ask about something, Sona-taichou," I resumed with a calmer tone, drawing the girl's attention back to me. "Next weekend, we could organize some private event with the rest of the Student Council. I heard that Momo-san has suggested something like this."

"If everyone is alright with it, I suppose Saturday can work," The girl admitted curtly, sighing tiredly at my proposal. "I can allow this as a mean to bring the council together and reinforce our teamwork, but it has to be early on the day or-"

"It will create some unfair messes." I interrupted with some appeasing tone, smiling at her serious look. "I understand and I share this very thought."

With this last detail dealt with, I stood out of my seat and bid a formal but positive 'goodbye' Sona before leaving the Council room, and I prepared for what was going to happen today.

A few seconds later, I was already making my way towards where Asia's and Issei's classroom was and, since it was already lunch-time and school generally ended early on Fridays as Saturdays and Sundays were school-free, I planned to seek them out before they had the chance of leaving.

Finding the brunet and the blonde was easy thing as both were chatting with the usual friendly fashion when Issei saw me and waved in my general direction.

"Senpai, it's good to see you and-"

The boy's boisterous greeting was interrupted by Asia, the girl giggling as she spoke over him. "Senpai, today Issei-kun did protect me!"

I blinked twice, surprise painted in my face at the sudden statement. "What?"

"I-It wasn't a big time. Matsuda and Motohama were pushy with Asia and I told them to not bother her-"

"Then you punched Matsuda-san when he ignored you," The girl interjected again, her smile was incredibly bright about this development. As bright as the blush currently visible in Issei's face. "Issei-kun is that kind."

The boy stammered a little, the flattering compliment coming from such sweet girl was quite the achievement for part of his dream. "A-Asia-chan is just too generous with her praise. S-She did make me some bento today too."

This time it was the former nun's turn to blush a clear red. "I-I just wanted to give you a gift for… helping me around so much."

...It was just too cute. Both of them were when interacting with each other, and for a moment I contemplated going for a checkup and see if I got some diabetes from that scene alone.

"I am happy to see that you two are getting this close to each other." I commented happily, causing a new round of blushes to erupt by the two Kohais' faces. "But I'm here to say two important things that will characterize the new few days.."

My words got them to sober up as I did give them a serious glance.
