Kazumi POV
"I heard from Akeno that you gave Koneko, this Sea Halberd way before we had a rating game against riser."
"Okay?" I know where this is going but...
"So I want to know, is it purely coincidental or you already knew?" Rias' tone was very serious.
"Knew what?" I said, acting dumb on purpose.
"Kazumi." Is what she said yet her eyes told me something else.
"I'll tell you after the game and when we're all together." After I said that, Rias' glare disappeared and she looked at me softly.
"Thank you. To be honest I was expecting you to deny it and I'll never speak of this again but..." That she said... Oh well, they're the girls I'm hopelessly in love.
~°~°~°~
Kazumi POV
"...And that's how I knew." I told them a modified version of my backstory.
"Wait, but didn't you said you were from the "Land of Dawn"?" Akeno asked.
"Yes, I was but I got reincarnated to an Earth where stories about you guys exists."
"But didn't you say you're immortal? How did you die?" Good question. Honestly, I didn't think this lie through.
"I don't know as well. I only remembered my past life, Argus, on this life."
"We're from a story right? How did the original go? What happens to Asia? What about our fight with Riser? What will happen next?" Rias asked.
"The original is very different. First, Itsuki was a guy, his name is Issei. He was a pervert who would peek on girls changing and his motivation is Rias' boobs."
"He and I are not so different after all." Itsuki stroked her non-existent beard.
"Second, Issei was supposed to die and get reincarnated into a devil to be Rias' servant, making him her strongest pawn. Same goes for Asia and she'll become your Bishop, your second one."
"!" Rias looked surprised, then smiled, "You even know about him too."
"Then, for the rating game, you lose to Riser but because of your Brother's motivation and some sacrifices made by Issei, he won against Riser."
"I see. Thank you."
"Finally, what happens next? It should be the holy sword a– Itsuki."
"Hmm? What about the holy sword?" She replied, uninterested.
"Irina is coming back to Kuou."
"She is?" Itsuki looked at me excitedly.
"""Irina?""" Akeno, Yuuma and Rias asked. I did tell Akeno and Yuuma who Irina is but haven't mentioned her to Rias.
"Irina, our childhood friend before you two."
"She's a girl, isn't she?"
"Yeah, she is. Oh and by the way, what happens here, stays here. Don't tell anyone about the holy swords, especially Kiba."
Rias and Akeno nodded but the rest of the girls did not.
"Why?"
"Well, it has something to do with his past."
Then they finally nodded in agreement.
"Rias, when is the clubroom's annual clean-up?"
"A few days from now, why?"
"Because if it's the same the original, the club will be having a meeting at this house and then... I probably should have enough time. Okay, I'll give a summary about what's going to happen."

Kazumi POV
It was nighttime and I'm staring at their faces, sleeping peacefully with me by their side. This is just right. They don't have to worry about anything as long as I'm here with them.
I promise you girls, whom I love so much, I will de everything to keep you safe. Never again will I lose anyone.
I slowly kissed their foreheads, each having a different reaction. Itsuki grabbed me and kissed my lips. Yuuma giggled. Rias brought me to her chest. Asia smiled. But when I was about to go to Akeno she wasn't there...
Maybe she went to the bathroom?
I guess I need some fresh air.

Kazumi POV
I went outside to have some time for myself. I only told them about Volume 3 for now. I'm not sure about the future, it may change so I didn't tell them. Until I'm sure, only then I'll tell them.
"It's been a while since I'm alone by myself."
I took a huge breath and the exhaled. It's really peaceful... And cold.
"You should stay in bed." I said to girl who followed me.
"Do often do this, you know, alone by yourself?" She replied.
"Sometimes, when I need to think about something." The times I've done this already exceeds the number of fingers I have in both hands and feet, "Come on, let's go back."
"Are you done?"
"Yes I'm done. Come on, let's go back, Akeno."
"Wait, I want to go somewhere else."
"Okay, lead the way."
~°~°~°~
"Akeno this is..?"
"Yes, it is the place where I was teleported."
I looked around the place. It wasn't exactly the best place for a injured person to stay.
"Akeno I–"
"I already forgave you. You don't need to ask for forgiveness everytime."
"I know but still–"
She sighed, "Look at it this way, if I was never teleported, you wouldn't have met Rias and she will be Riser's wife right now. You can't deny that your actions, while it endangered me, saved someone else. And I was very happy when you saved my savior."
"But aren't you... You know? Angry?"
"Angry? To whom? You? Dad? Mom? Yuuma? Itsuki? I was angry at you and Dad but what? What will my anger do? My love for all of you outweighs my anger, especially you."
"They weren't wrong after all..."
"About what?"
"That love is blind?"
"Huh, maybe I should get some glasses?"
"..."
"..."
"Pfffft!"
"Hahaha!"
"Come on, let's go back."
"Hold my hand?"
I said nothing and just smiled as I held her hand on our way in.

Author's Words:
Yeah I know I haven't posted in a while. I had no choice, there's so much schoolwork. I tried making bit by bit but I couldn't because even in weekdays I had to keep doing school stuff.
I know that this is very short for a chapter when I haven't posted in a while. But if I can work on this tomorrow because today is Saturday, it would be great.
Next chapter should be the start of the holy sword arc.
