NOVEL NEXT 24. Saki and Rin
Kouske's POV
"Momo-chan~.How have you been?"
"F-fine."
"Have practiced the magic I'd shown you before?"
"Hm."
"Then make a wind bullet with your magic."
"Aim for the target."
I placed a target for her at a 15 feet's distance. Her first aim was off. The magic bullet diffused before it could even reach the target.
I made her repeat until she could control her magic properly.
After around 20 minutes her mana hit rock bottom. So we had to stop. She was huffing and puffing in exhaustion.
I gave her some water to drink.
Her body was drenched in sweat. I brought a wet towel and started wiping her body with it.
"H-hnng~!" she was startled and let out a funny voice. But I kept doing my thing. Hugging her and wiping her body slowly.
"You have worked hard Momo-chan~. Have you studied the other magical circles?"
I came close to her ears and spoke softly.
"Hm." she nodded at my words.
After that, we were just reviewing whatever she learned before. I still kept my teasing ongoing.
"Momo-chan. You really like magic, huh?"
"Hm."
"Thanks, Miyamura-kun, for helping me. Without your help my progress would've been much slower," she replied with a bright smile.
We were back to talking normally after a while. She wasn't avoiding me anymore.
"You know, you can just call me Kouske. Don't you find it odd that you're the only one still calling me by my family name while I'm using your first name?"
"Or do you think we are still not close enough to call us by our first names?" I said making a sad face.
"NO! I-I mean I will also call you by your f-first name."
I kept staring at her.
"W-what?"
"Aren't you gonna say my name?" I said with mischievous a smile on my face.
After some time she was still silently fidgeting.
"Well?"
"K-kouske.. " she said with an almost inaudible voice.
"What? I couldn't hear you. Say it louder."
"KOUSKE!" she shouted.
"What happened?" Lavinia came out to inquire about the shouting.
"Nothing, Rey-chan~. We were just practicing~."
"Hm~." she looked like she was pondering something. She looked cute with her finger on her chin.
"Then why is Momo-chan so red? Is she alright?"
Hearing that Momo became even more flustered.
"She's fine. Just a bit under the weather."
"Okay. Make sure she reaches home safely."
"Don't worry, I will walk her home."
She left after that. Momo was still red in embarrassment.
I went behind her and put a silver-colored pendant on her beautiful neck.
"What's this?" she came back to her senses feeling something on her neck.
"It's a gift from me. I hope you like it."
"Hng. It's beautiful. Thank you, K-kouske-kun."
"You're more beautiful though, Momo-chan~."
"Let's go. I will walk you home."
"Hng."
After that, we walked in silence. At some point, I was holding her hands.
She didn't react much. Just kept walking. I guess it's good if she's becoming more used to me.
I bid her farewell in front of her house. Then I turned back to return home.

After that, someone came knocking on my door in the evening.
I opened my door to find two girls standing there. After meeting Ryuga Tenjoin and seeing these girls, I finally understood where I'd seen them.
The first one was a girl with golden eyes and light blonde hair that was lightly permed in the back and curled into spirals over her shoulders with two small buns on both sides of her head held by red ribbons.
She was Saki Tenjoin's daughter and heir of Ryuga Tenjoin.
The other one was a girl with brown hair that she tied in a ponytail by a blue scrunchie with bangs hanging on either side she had chest-length hair strands hanging on either side, brown eyes and was often seen with an emotionless face, though she didn't have an emotionless face right now. Maybe it will be like that in the future.
She's Rin Kujo daughter of Kai Kujo, the head butler of the Tenjoin household.
I was stunned for a while. Because they are from a different franchise than DxD, specifically from a franchise called 'To Love Ru'.
They are young but one can still recognize them with their names and unique appearances.
Specially, Saki. She has a unique look that's hard to forget. But at the moment, both of them just looked like cute little girls.
"Hello. You must be Miyamura-san. I'm Saki Tenjoin. It's a pleasure meeting you" she said with an elegant bow.
"I'm Rin Kujo. Saki-sama's bodyguard. Nice to meet you Miyamura-sama." Rin also introduced herself promptly.
"She's my friend," Saki added.
"Nice to meet you. As you know I'm Kouske Miyamura. And Kujo-san, you can just address me informally. There's no need to add sama."
"Okay, Miyamura-sama." she agreed but didn't change the way she called me.
"Who is it, Ko-kun?" Lavinia came out of our room.
After that, they introduced each other again.
"You all should come inside. I will serve you some tea."
"That's a great suggestion. But there's no need for such formality. How about we leave that for another day? Okaa-sama wanted to meet you soon." Saki replied.
"Okay. We will get back soon."
Lavinia and I went inside to change our clothes. Obviously, we changed in different places. For now...
Lavinia wore the blue dress I bought for her previously. She looked breathtaking in it.
I just wore a black shirt and black pants.
"Lavinia-san, you look so beautiful." Saki complemented Lavinia. Rin also looked awestruck by the older girl.
"Thank you. You also look beautiful in your dress." Lavinia replied.
"Hohohoho!" Saki let out her infamous stereotypical millionaire laugh. She seemed happy that someone complimented her.
"Saki-sama....." Though, Rin was sighing a little.
I just laugh at their interaction.
"Ko-kun! How do I look?"
"You always look beautiful, Rey-chan~. You girls also look beautiful."
"Hehehe." Lavinia was happy with the praise.
Saki started another one of her laughs, feeling proud of her beauty. Rin was a bit embarrassed.
After that, we all sat inside Saki's car as it drove us to her house.
