After sealing the deal with magic, all of the guests went home and retired for the night. Sakura called Aika's parents and informed them that she's already sleeping and won't be able to go home for tonight. Of course, this created a new wave of misunderstandings but Sakura already gave up correcting them as they wouldn't listen anyway.
Ophis also left a few minutes after the guests left. Nobody knows what is she thinking as she kept staring without a word at Kisuke.
Sakura and Koneko accompanied Aika to sleep as they are already too tired from today's events even though they didn't do much.
Kisuke and Yoruichi, who is back to her cat form, returned to their room and also planning to retire for today.
Laying beside Kisuke, Yoruichi asks, "That strike from Aika is pretty strong, can she keep doing that?"
"Nope. What she used as fuel for that is the Reiatsu-Ki that I injected her to stimulate and transform her energy source and both the energies of those two dragons. Her potential is big, but currently, she weaker than all of official Shinigamis or maybe even weaker than the students of the academy. She doesn't know any swordplay or Kidou, she doesn't even have the mindset of a fighter. All she knows is some basic energy control. With that said, I'll leave her training for you. She could be our hidden ace in the future." Kisuke slowly muttered as he went to sleep.
"I'll leave her Zanjutsu training to you." Yoruichi also closed her eyes and slipped into dreamland while feeling Kisuke warmth.

The next day, Akeno went to the clubroom early in the morning. She wasn't able to report yesterday to Rias since she was not available last night and had to do something.
Akeno entered through the door and saw Rias sitting on the desk with a crumpled face. It seems that she didn't notice Akeno entering so she called her out, "Good morning, Rias. Are you okay? Did something happened?"
Rias looked up and saw the concerned look on Akeno's face and made a wry smile, "Right... But I'll tell you after I hear your report. What happened last night? It seems that you took longer than expected."
Akeno inadvertently made a complicated expression, "Nothing... really. I asked Sona-kaichou to take me with her to apologize for what happened and she allowed me. After that, we reached his place and we had to wait for a while since he's out. When he returned, he's already with Koneko and another second-year student named Kiryuu Aika. Sona-kaichou apologized first and we followed suit and he accepted it."
"Then what seems to be the problem?" Rias furrowed her brows at Akeno's expression?
"Just a few things. First is Sona-kaichou and Tsubaki-fukukaichou is very close to the Urahara Household to the point that Tsubaki got used to helping with the house chores."
"What...?" Rias didn't know what to think of it, "How did that happen?"
"I also don't know the full story but from their words, it seems that Sona-kaichou kept bothering Urahara Kisuke that Tsubaki has to chores because she's feeling guilty."
Rias' mouth is twitching after hearing this, 'Really, how did that happen?' She decided not to ask further as it's better to hear it from the person herself, "What else?"
"I mentioned about a second-year student named Kiryuu Aika and investigated her a bit last night when you're not around and found that she only a normal person, but in Urahara's house, she seems to know about the existence of the supernatural world and also quite close to Sona-kaichou and Tsubaki."
"A normal person? Yet Sona didn't erase her memories? On top of that, she's pretty close to her? Is that everything?"
Akeno wanted to say more but she's already under a contract to keep what happened on the underground space a secret, so she just nodded.
"That's really strange... And all of this is happening around Urahara Kisuke and Sona. I have to set up a meeting with her sometime later. Anything else?"
Akeno took a deep breath and said, "One last thing. Urahara Kisuke, we can't underestimate him. Sona-kaichou already formed a friendly relation with him, I suggest that we do the same."
"Why?" Rias stared intently at Akeno as she knew that she wouldn't do something just because a friend or an acquaintance is also doing it.
"He's too mysterious. He's giving me a very dangerous vibe and I don't know why. Because it seems that he doesn't view you and me favorably, extending a friendly relation seems unlikely, but please, don't antagonize him." Akeno pleaded with a serious expression.
"Something happened that you can't mention?" Rias continued staring at her without a change in her expression.
Akeno didn't answer and just looked out of the window.
"Haah... Fine. We won't antagonize him any further. But what about Koneko? We can't just leave her to him." Rias rested on her chair as she let out a large sigh. She trusted her best friend and Queen.
"Don't worry about it. Urahara Kisuke permitted me to watch over Koneko while he train her when I asked him, although he won't allow anyone else aside from me because he said that he doesn't want more people watching them." Akeno sighed in relief at Rias' decision.
"How about I ask him too?" Rias asks.
And Akeno shook her head immediately, "I doubt that he'll agree. Between you and me, it seems like he doesn't like you more."
"Well I don't like him either, hmmfp" Rias snorted at Akeno's words.
"How about you? What happened?"
When Akeno asked this, Rias expression turned downcast, "It's about my engagement."
Akeno's expression turned serious and asks, "Engagement? Is it with the Phenex Clan? Didn't they promised you that they won't proceed with the talk until you graduated high-school?"
"They did! But the detestable third son of Phenex wants it to happen now! And the elders of both families also couldn't wait any longer!" Rias gritted her teeth in frustration.
"What about Sirzechs-sama? Did he try to stop this?"
"He didn't! On the contrary, it seems that he also wanted to proceed with these arrangements." Rias slapped her right hand down to the table.
But Akeno is confused. If she only receives the news, then there is no reason to be out all night, "What did you do last night?"
Rias looked away and muttered, "I t... to .... m. .. ..sei."
"What? I didn't hear you."
This time, Rias spoke in a louder voice, "I tried to give my virginity to Issei."
"You what!? Then right now... you're..." Akeno didn't doubt her as she knew that Rias might really do something like that.
Rias gets what she's trying to say and refuted her, "No. Grayfia stopped me at the last moment."
"So she confined you all night?"
"Yes."
"Then what's going to happen now?"
"It seems that Riser Phenex will come later and will try to persuade me."
