"...er."
"...ster."
"Master!"
Ryota opened his eyes.
A beautiful girl with pink hair and pretty eyes was looking at his face with a smile on her face from a close distance.
Her long hair fell on Ryota's face, making him slightly ticklish.
"Breakfast is ready! Get ready, or you will be late, Master!"
He looked at her with half-closed eyes. He hugged Tamamo instead of answering her.
"Mikon! Ehehe, Master!" said Tamamo while rubbing her head on his chest.
"...How much time is left, Tamamocchi?"
"About 5 minutes, Master."
Ryota yawned, and let go of his embrace, then got ready.
Yesterday, after Ryota revealed himself as a magician to Sona and her peerage, he played a game with Osakabehime as usual.
In the evening, Shuten reported to him about a fallen angel who attacked a brown-haired boy when she went outside to buy alcohol. She said it was a devil aura based on the boy's aura.
Ryota thought the devils had solved the problem of the fallen angels after Osakabehime sensed the devils going to the abandoned church, but apparently not.
So after Ryota told Mephisto Pheles about this, Mephisto explained.
"I'll ask Azazel about this. If the fallen angel is a traitor to the Grigori, I allow you to kill."
"What about the devil?"
"Just erase your presence. Your group is the best at it."
"Okay."
"Ah Ryota, the paperwork for Shuten is almost done in less than a month. Although some people are still afraid of Shuten, At least after that, she won't be treated as an evil dragon. Tamamo and Osakabehime are also almost done, so you can enjoy your date outside with them any time later."
"Thank you, Mephistocchi."
That was the conversation from yesterday.

After class finished, Ryota walked towards the student council room. Although Mephisto told him to wait for Azazel's reply, he would at least warn Sona's peerage about yesterday's news.
On the way to his destination, a man with short blond hair, blue eyes, and a mole under his left eye, called out to him.
"Ryota-senpai? Do you have time?"
Ryota turned around and looked at Kiba with a dull expression.
"...What's wrong Kouhai-kun? People are looking at us right now." said Ryota.
"Kyaaaa! Kiba-kun!!"
"Our King and Prince look at each other with heated gaze!!!"
"Who do you think is the top and bottom?"
"Of course, it's Ryota-kun! Just look at his domineering aura!"
"But, don't you think the opposite is also good?"
Ryota wanted to puke right now.
One of the reasons he didn't want to meet this guy was because the girls in this academy were a bit crazy.
"I'm busy. Bye, Kouhai-kun." said Ryota and got ready to leave.
"Wait, senpai! Rias-Buchou wants to talk with you!" Kiba felt a bit panicked and shouted.
Ryota turned back again and looked at Kiba with a strange expression.
"Gremory? Is your Buchou insane? Her class is next to mine. She can invite me herself."
"Umm, Buchou is a bit sweaty, so she is showering right now." said Kiba with a complicated look.
"Geh, then just do it next time. I'm busy right now, bye."
Ryota left with a faster pace. He didn't want to get spotted anywhere with Kiba with those crazy fangirls nearby.
He stopped in front of the student council room and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The moment he opened the door, he saw that all the student council members were here, unlike yesterday.
"Ryota-kun!" Tsubaki smiled at Ryota.
"Hello, Ryota-senpai."
He greeted them back. Besides Reya, and Momo, there were three other girls.
Tomoe Meguri, a girl with shoulder-length hair, reddish-brown hair and brown eyes, with ahoge sticking out. This girl was a famous shotacon, so Ryota knew about this.
Tsubasa Yura, a girl with shoulder-length blue hair and blue eyes. He is a tomboy and has a pretty boy face. She had a lot of female fans because of this.
The last one, Ruruko Nimura, had brown hair in long twin ponytails and green eyes. This girl was one of Ryota's fangirls.
"What's the matter, Ryota-kun? If it's about yesterday's talk, I still have to think about it." Sona said.
"No, I want to talk to you about something."
Ryota walked to one of the sofas and sat there while Sona sat in front of him.
"By the way, is he the one you mentioned yesterday? Saji? Your new member?" asked Ryota while looking at a man with short blonde hair and gray eyes. This person had been glaring at him ever since he entered the room.
"I'm Genshirou Saji. My first name is Genshirou. What is our King of Kuoh doing here?" said him in a hateful tone.
Ryota looked at him for a while, then looked at Sona.
"What's this guy's problem with me, Sona?" asked Ryota.
Sona didn't answer. She massaged her temples, looking a little stressed.
"I hate pretty boys like you! And why are you calling Kaichou by her first name!?"
Ryota decided to ignore him for now and spoke again.
"Sona, yesterday a fallen angel attacked someone in this town. Do you know anything about this?"
Hearing that, Sona's expression became serious.
"Are you sure it's a fallen angel, Ryota-kun?" asked Sona.
'I believe it was a fallen angel that attacked Hyoudou again.' thought Ryota.
"Yes... He has black wings and uses a light spear to attack the guy."
Sona nodded.
"...Thank you, Ryota-kun. I will arrange this with Rias."
"Wait! Wait! Why are you know about fallen angel!? Who are you actually handsome boy!?" shouted Genshirou.
Genshirou was angry that Sona believed Ryota's words without any questions. He didn't know about their relationship because he was new to this peerage. The only thing he knew was that this handsome boy was Tsubaki's boyfriend.
'Sleep'
Ryota didn't answer his question, but Ryota pointed his finger at Genshirou's face, after he chanted a basic sleep spell, a small magic circle appeared on his finger, and Genshirou fell asleep instantly, falling to the floor.
The other members giggled looking at Genshirou, who was sleeping on the floor while Sona sighed.
"I'm sorry about him, Ryota-kun. He is a new member and needs to be disciplined." said Sona while fixing her glasses.
"Is he your fanboys or what? He looks really angry when I call you by your first name." asked Ryota confusedly.
"Senpai! He has an unrequited love with Kaichou!" said Momo while raising her hand.
Ryota looked at the other members. They all nodded their heads. Then he looked at Sona. Her cheek reddened. She seemed very embarrassed.
"Hahahaha. Good luck with this guy."
Ryota laughed at Sona as she glared at him.
"By the way, may I ask you something?" asked Ryota.
"...What is it?"
"Kiba Yuuto asked me to meet Gremory today. I'm sure she wants to invite me to her peerage, just like you yesterday." said Ryota thoughtfully.
Sona got shocked hearing about this and spontaneously shouted.
"What!? But I told her, you were off limits to her!"
Ryota smiled at him while Sona became panicked.
"Off-limits, huh... Then how about you tell her I've already accepted your peerage invitation, but I need some more time. So they won't invite me again."
Sona was confused hearing Ryota's request.
"But she will know your lie if you don't become a devil after some time has passed."
"No, I only needed one month. After that, she couldn't do anything to me, not even forced reincarnation." said Ryota.
He thought of this from the devil's point of view. They still didn't know his background, so if they were really desperate, they might think about forcing him to reincarnate.
"Why do you think so?" asked Sona curiously.
"Sona, the only pieces that can reincarnate me into a devil are mutated pieces." said Ryota while smiling at Sona.
Mephisto once told Ryota that mutated pieces were extremely rare. Ryota's magic power couldn't be measured by a single evil piece, and that didn't include his sacred gear King's Law. He didn't know Sona and Rias had mutated pieces or not, but at least if Ryota were them, he wouldn't reincarnate a human who had an unknown power, especially with rare pieces like mutated pieces.
Even though Sona was getting more and more curious about Ryota's identity, she decided to ignore it for now.
"...Alright. I'll tell Rias later."
"Thanks, Sona. I'll be going then. My business here is done."
Ryota stood up, walked over to Tsubaki, and kissed her cheek.
"See you tomorrow, Tsubaki-chan."
"Y-yes. Be careful on your way home." replied Tsubaki to Ryota lovingly, her cheeks reddened.
"Ehem...Ryota-kun."
Sona coughed, glaring at Ryota and Tsubaki with a hint of jealousy.
"What is it, Sona?" said Ryota while smiling at her.
"...One day, if we both have some free time, would you like to play chess with me?" asked Sona nervously.
"Chess? I've never played that, though... If you want to play basketball or some other sport, I'll play with you."
"Basketball!? Me! Me! Play with me, senpai!" said Tsubasa as she raised her hand.
"...Ahem!"
Sona glared at Tsubasa to silence her.
"I'll teach you how to play chess. Just tell me when you're free, and we can play." Sona said.
Ryota looked at Sona strangely. This girl seemed to want Ryota to play with her no matter what.
"Sure... I'll go if there's no more. See you later, everyone."
After Ryota left the room, Tsubaki asked Sona.
"Kaichou, what about the Fallen Angels?"
Sona stood up and said to Tsubaki.
"Let's go to the Occult Research Club. We'll ask Rias."
---
Occult Research Club
Inside the occult research club room, Sona was sitting on the sofa, while Rias was sitting on the other sofa in front of her. Tsubaki stood behind Sona, while Rias' peerage members stood behind Rias.
"Here's the tea."
Akeno placed the tea on the table, then stood behind Rias.
"So, what did you want to talk to Sona about? I'm still in the middle of explaining about the devil to my newest member." said Rias.
Sona looked behind Rias. One of them looked at Sona and Tsubaki, with complicated, confused, scared, and lustful looks. She knew this person because he was very famous. Even yesterday she scolded him.
"He's Issei Hyoudou, right? I'm Sona Sitri. A devil from the Sitri family." Sona said looking at the person.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeh! Kaichou is also a devil!? Don't tell me Shinra-senpai is also a devil!?"
Issei felt very shocked and subconsciously shouted.
"Yes, Ise. I will explain it to you later, can we talk about your business now Sona?"
Sona nodded.
"Rias, that day when you brought my peerage member to the abandoned church, I thought you had solved the problem. But, yesterday, my peerage member saw a fallen angel attack someone. Do you know anything about this?" said Sona while inserting a little lie.
Rias, hearing that, felt a little panicked.
That day was the day Issei died, so she wanted to focus on Issei first, and she didn't care about the fallen angels.
"I'm sorry, Sona. That day, Koneko felt a lot of presence in the church, so I sent them back."
"...Okay then. Do you need my help again?" said Sona.
Although she felt angry, she didn't show it now.
Rias said she would take care of the fallen angels, but she didn't do it right away. If what Ryota said was true, the fallen angels were in this town to kill humans.
"Don't worry, Sona. After I and my peerage investigate further, we will attack them."
"I will trust you for now..." said Sona.
"By the way, Ryota-kun has accepted my invitation to join my peerage."
She gave Rias a smug smile.
Sona had promised Ryota, so she would lie to Rias.
"What!?" shouted Rias and Issei.
While Rias was feeling surprised, Issei felt even more jealous.
"That senpai!? The one who has the same popularity as this pretty guy!?" shouted Issei while pointing at Yuuto.
Kiba, feeling awkward, couldn't help but smile wryly at him.
"Yes. So you and your peerage can stop recruiting him. Even though he said we should wait for a while." said Sona calmly.
"I see... I thought since you never invited him, I still had a chance..." muttered Rias depressingly.
"You never had a chance, in the first place." said Sona while smiling at Rias.
Rias felt confused hearing Sona's words.
"What do you mean?" asked Rias.
"Nothing. My business is done. Let's go, Tsubaki."
Tsubaki bowed towards them and followed Sona, leaving the Occult Research building.
