Kunou left Tenraku's room, leaving Ravel alone with him.
"Hey, Onii-chan, do you need something?"
Although she seemed somewhat guilty, Ravel maintained an appearance of composure.
"Don't you know everything about me?"
"Come here."
With a touch of annoyance in his tone, Tenraku patted his leg.
Blushing, Ravel obediently walked over and sat on Tenraku's lap.
"Tell me, why did you say those things to Kunou?"
"I didn't mean to…"
"Still trying to defend yourself!"
Tapping Ravel's head gently, Tenraku knew this little girl all too well.
"Itai… pain pain pain."
"Bad Onii-chan, I did it all for you."
Rubbing the sore spot on her head, Ravel looked at him with a somewhat reproachful expression.
"For me?"
Unable to suppress his laughter, Tenraku was curious to hear what kind of reasons this girl would come up with today.
"Humph, of course, for Onii-chan."
"That little fox might be a bit silly, but no matter what, she's the next-generation nine-tailed fox. Whether it's her Bloodline or her monster power, they're both impeccable qualities. Instead of letting her end up with some other bad guy, why not leave her for Onii-chan?"
"Damn brat, Kunou is my daughter!"
He never expected Ravel to say such things and Tenraku's face was turning darker by the moment.
"So what if she's your daughter? It's just in name."
"Don't think I don't know. Greedy Onii-chan probably had his eyes on that little fox a long time ago, right? Maybe you're even planning how to groom her into your favorite type. I'm just helping a bit, that's all."
With full confidence, Ravel wore a resolute expression on her face as she spoke.
Just as Tenraku understood her, she also understood this scoundrel of an Onii-chan!
His mouth twitched, and Tenraku felt a bit embarrassed. While it wasn't exactly true, that cheeky girl had hit the mark. He did have some thoughts like that…
However—
"Ravel, you weren't like this before." Tenraku sighed as he spoke while patting Ravel's head.
Ravel's face twitched for a moment, and then her face turned visibly red— "It's because of you, Onii-chan!"
Feeling an endless sense of embarrassment, Ravel just bit into Tenraku.
In the past, she wouldn't have done something like this. It was all this scoundrel of an Onii-chan's fault— everything was his fault!
Allowing Ravel to vent for a moment, Tenraku gently stroked her fine curls.
"Ravel, let's leave it at this. Don't get involved in this matter anymore."
"But Kunou…"
"I'll take care of Kunou. But since you're her friend, don't play these little tricks on her anymore."
Tenraku spoke with a serious expression on his face, he didn't want Ravel to follow in his footsteps, even though he was planning some playful grooming. He was a selfish, domineering, and greedy big scoundrel, but he didn't want Ravel to become like him.
Understanding Tenraku's intention, Ravel immediately looked guilty—
"I'm sorry, Onii-chan. I won't do it again…"
"Silly girl, you don't need to apologize. If anyone should apologize, it should be me."
Siblings leaned against each other, enjoying this warm and peaceful moment.
Of course, Tenraku wouldn't blame Ravel. Everything she did was for him.
"Alright, go out and play now."
"Even if you're going to be my manager in the future, don't work too hard."
Knowing that Ravel had been studying hard lately to become his manager, Tenraku stroked her forehead.
"Sure, Onii-chan."
With a joyful smile, Ravel felt a sweet sensation in her heart. Even though it was a bit tough, getting this kind of concern from Onii-chan made it all worthwhile.
"What is it? Do you still need something?"
Seeing that Ravel didn't seem like she was about to leave, Tenraku couldn't help but ask.
"Onii-chan, a… a kiss, let's try it again…"
Blushing, Ravel whispered shyly.
Tenraku couldn't help but chuckle. Ravel was completely obsessed with the feeling of a kiss, always eager to give it a try whenever the opportunity arose.
Without refusing, Tenraku lowered his head and sealed the girl's soft lips…
…
Inside the movie room, Tenraku and the girls of Rias' peerage were seated comfortably on luxurious couches, sipping cola and watching a movie on the huge screen.
The Kamiya Family mansion, designed by a renowned architect from the Underworld, not only looked grand and luxurious on the surface but also had much more spacious interior space than it appeared.
Entertainment facilities like movie rooms, swimming pools, and aerial gardens were all available. Some rooms were even connected to other interesting places through space magic. Even as the owner, Tenraku hadn't fully explored all of them yet…
Yawning, he found the movie playing on the screen was the type the girls enjoyed. As a guy, Tenraku found it a bit dull. Leaving Rias and the others to enjoy the movie, he decided to head back upstairs to the main hall.
Taking out a cold drink from the fridge and taking a few sips, Tenraku was about to start playing games when suddenly a white Koneko appeared from a corner:
"Meow…"
The entire Kamiya Family was protected by special barriers, so there was no way stray cats or dogs could come in. At a glance, Tenraku recognized the white Cat as Koneko-chan's familiar.
Speaking of which, Koneko-chan had left halfway through the movie to return upstairs. He wondered what she was doing now.
When Koneko caught Tenraku's attention, she turned and headed down a hallway, looking back to signal him to follow. Amused, though uncertain of what Koneko's familiar was up to, Tenraku decided to tag along and see.
It didn't take long before Koneko's familiar stopped in front of a room with a white and black cat paw pattern on the door. It was Koneko-chan and Kuroka's room.
Curious about why Koneko's familiar led him here, Tenraku wondered if Koneko-chan instructed it to do so. But if it were Koneko-chan, she could've simply found him herself; there was no need to make it so complicated.
Unable to figure it out, he still decided to go in and see.
Entering Koneko-chan and Kuroka's room, the room was dimly lit and lacked any light. Moreover, the Koneko familiar was nowhere in sight.
However, it was at that moment that Tenraku suddenly heard sounds coming from the direction of the bedroom in the room—
"Um… um…"
"Meow…"
In an instant, Tenraku recognized the voice— it was Koneko-chan's! Yet, there was something peculiar about the sound, almost like…
Suppressing his doubts, Tenraku slowly walked towards the bedroom, gently pushing the door open when he reached it.
However, as he saw what was inside, his expression turned to one of astonishment…
