Part 1
"...Ise".
"... It seems like he's having fun".
"...As I thought, he isn't interested in his kouhai".
"...This is a lie, an illusion..."
Buchou, Asia-chan, Koneko-chan, and Akeno-san said with clouded faces and trembling voices.
The ones speaking before my eyes, I, Kiba Yuuto, were the women of the Gremory peerage, who looked even more nervous and envious than ever before.
Hiding behind poles and shadows around town, we were steadily staring up ahead. We were following a couple. The couple was composed of our friend Hyoudou Issei and a female student from Kuoh Academy.
Yes, Ise-kun was going out with a woman who is not directly related to the women of the Gremory peerage here. This was a big problem for the women of the Gremory peerage.
Let's go back in time a little.
It happened after the School Festival, and the match against Sairaorg Bael ended.
When I was alone with Ise-kun in the clubroom, suddenly, he said this: "Hey, Kiba. ...There are many things that I don't understand about girls".
He said so, sighing. I was sure that he was sighing because of Rias-Buchou, who he had confessed to a few days ago and she accepted his confession.
However, there has been no fight or discord between the two, as far as I know. So, I found Ise-kun's comment a little suspicious.
...Could it be that something happened with another girl from the Occult Research Club? After all, there are only girls with feelings towards him in our club.
Ever since Ise-kun saved her life, Asia-san has loved him with all her heart.
Akeno-san was helped to overcome her painful past by Ise-kun.
Koneko-chan gained courage from Ise-kun after he encouraged her to fight against the fear of her power.
Xenovia, who at first chased Ise-kun only to fulfil her desires after becoming a Devil, but before she realised it, she was touched by his gentleness and fell for him with all her heart.
Was it for Heaven, herself, or was she just going with the flow? Irina-san also fell for Ise-kun, but I don't know even one of her reasons.
Ravel-san saw the image of Ise-kun as her hero when he defeated her brother.
And then there's Rias-buchou, who truly loves Ise-kun, who protects her at the risk of his life.
There are many women with feelings for Ise-kun. He also noticed that those other than Buchou have been trying to appeal to him, but… it seems like he isn't skilled enough to respond to them yet. So he cannot conduct himself like the Harem King he wants to be. But that is just like him.
Since he has reincarnated as a Devil, whose lifespan could be described as infinite, if he perfectly achieved his objective of becoming a Harem King in about six months, he would have fulfilled his goal too early. So his future enjoyment of it would be drastically reduced.
My sword master (who is a Devil) also told me that devils reincarnated from humans tend to live in haste. They live for a long time, so if they aim to achieve their goals early, they will have too much time left and will be in great trouble. It is not like burnout syndrome, but it tends to cause a lack of emotional ups and downs. Hence it is probably wiser for reincarnated devils to live slowly and enjoy their lives.
I can understand that too. However, whenever I see Ise-kun talk about his dreams with a perverted expression, it makes me think that he isn't going to burn out when his goals are fulfilled, but rather just move on to his next ambition earlier.
Maybe those girls are attracted to him because he makes others think of him like that. If you were to spend some time with Ise-kun, something fun would happen. After all, even I think so.
Well, about this thing Ise-kun asked me, at that time, I responded,
"I don't know who you are worried about, but if you talk more with that person, you may understand her better, you know? I mean, women like to talk, right? So I think just listening to them will change your understanding of each other".
He said: "Hmm, I see" when he heard my opinion, nodded once and left the room.
At that time, I thought: "Did he make Buchou angry? Or was Asia-san influenced by someone else and did something unexpected?" I peacefully imagined their interactions such as that.
However――
It happened two days after that. Other than Ise-kun and Koneko-chan, all the other members were already present in the clubroom, then Koneko-chan appeared with a clouded expression.
Everyone was uniformly surprised at the change in her appearance, so Buchou asked on behalf of all of us.
"What happened, Koneko? For you to come with such a face... something happened, right?"
We became worried when we saw Koneko-chan's expression. After all, she's our cute kouhai. Koneko-chan is normally expressionless, so it's hard to figure out what she's thinking, but she had a clouded expression on her face right now... Did something big happen?
Koneko-chan murmured this in a low voice.
"...Ise-senpai was talking happily with a woman who isn't from this club".
Hearing these words, the first to react was―――Akeno-san.
The tray and teacups she was carrying were dropped on the floor, making a loud noise. She had been smiling as usual until a few seconds ago, but now her expression had suddenly clouded over, and she was so shocked that she sat limply on the floor.
While the other girls didn't react to that extent, they were shocked and speechless.
Rias-buchou exhaled heavily, her hand shaking as she held her teacup, she did her best to stay calm and asked Koneko-chan.
"...S-So... who is the woman...?"
Buchou, your voice is trembling. She's pretty panicked, huh? She is trying her best to keep her expression normal, but what is going on in her heart is unfathomable. After all, she and Ise-kun have just told each other about their feelings.
Koneko-chan said again, with her voice subdued.
"...Kamo Tadami-senpai from the second year".
Kamo Tadami――. I also know this female student. She's mine and Ise-kun's classmate and one of the few students of our school that knew about the existence of devils (about us and the Sitri peerage).
As I recall, she came from a family of Onmyoji users. I heard that she seems to know the techniques and has been performing exorcisms. And that she came to this school, which is ruled by devils, because she wanted to create a link between them and us, and also because she was curious and thought it would be "interesting".
She didn't stand out in her school life and integrated herself with the ordinary students...
Hearing about Kamo-san's information from Koneko-chan, Buchou sighed.
"...I know that girl. She is from a family of Onmyojis, right? ...B-But, why, with Ise...?".
Buchou said bewildered.,
Xenovia then stood up and said,
"Proof is better than speculation! Let's go and see for ourselves! This is.... He must be cheating!"
The women of the Occult Research Club all stood up hearing her words and following Koneko-chan's guidance, they left the clubroom.
...The only ones remaining in the clubroom were Gasper-kun and me. We looked at each other's faces.
"...Yuuto-senpai, it would be better if we went too, right?"
"Well, let's follow them for the time being. I'm a little interested too".
I'm sure he isn't the kind of person who would do something like this... But it looks like it's going to be a bit fun.
Guided by Koneko-chan, we arrived at the outskirts of the old school grounds. Even we don't come very close to this place. It was probably the edge of Kuoh Academy. The trees were thick and the area had a slightly gloomy atmosphere even in the daytime.
We walked in a large group, hiding our presence until we came to a small opening in front of us. A place appeared where a man and a woman were leaning against a tree and talking happily.
The boy is of course Ise-kun,. The female student with the long pigtails is Kamo-san. She had almond eyes and a slender body, and different from ordinary students, she didn't have many openings. Both Ise-kun and Kamo-san were versed in supernatural abilities and would be able to sense a slight presence, so we decided to watch over them while suppressing our presence as much as possible.
Koneko-chan hides by using her Senjutsu and thoroughly disappears with her Ki. She said,
"Just now, on my way to the old school building, I sensed that Issei-senpai was coming this way instead of towards the clubroom, so I followed him... Then I saw him with Kamo-senpai..."
As expected of Koneko-chan, a Senjutsu user. Well, she could sense him by his smell too.
Buchou and Akeno-san, who have recently been polishing their ability to hide their presence, just silently stared at the man and woman in front of them.
"...I've learnt this hiding technique so that Akeno and the others wouldn't find me. But no way, did I think it would be useful in such a situation..."
"...Ara ara, I also got used to this kind of hiding technique, you know? I can also use a small amount of Senjutsu like Koneko-chan..."
It seems like these two learnt some amazing things. Everything was made possible by their "maiden love" mode, though... Regardless of why they learnt it, it seems that I, as a technique type, would have it a bit easier if they used that in our battles.
Nothing would change even if I said that in this place, though. ...Sometimes I feel that the Gremory peerage members aren't using their powers well.
I also looked at Ise-kun and Kamo-san.
Ise-kun and Kamo-san seemed to be having a good time chatting. Koneko-chan, who has good hearing and Akeno-san, who knows a little about lip-reading, captured the contents of their conversation.
"...How is it, Koneko, Akeno?"
Buchou asked them. The two girls'... faces became even more clouded.
"They are talking about their hobbies, what they usually do and other such things".
"...I've never had Ise-kun talk to me like that, asking me about my favourite manga or film…,".
Both Koneko-chan and Akeno-san were extremely shocked, and their voices were shaking. It seems that Ise-kun and Kamo-san were talking like an innocent couple.
Hearing this, Asia-san put her hand over her mouth and became teary-eyed.
"...Hauu, after leaving Rias Onee-sama and us behind, Ise-san is having such a good time with another woman... N-No, this must be some kind of misunderstanding… but, but, maybe, he got bored of us... Uuh! Lord, what am I to do?"
Xenovia hugged Asia-san's shoulder and said with distant eyes.
"Take a close look at that, Asia. That is what we call an『affair』. That guy, usually he's always saying that he isn't popular, but he threw us away and is secretly doing well by himself. Well, I guess this is also one of the hidden qualities of the man we love. I mean, he's incredibly attractive after all, so if you were a woman, you'd fall in love with him――".
Xenovia began to talk in a small voice. Was she belittling Ise-kun, or was she praising what he did? It was unknown from her words.
Next to her, Irina-san said.
"Ise-kun even made an Onmyoji fall. T-This is amazing. Even though normally it wouldn't be strange for him to be exorcised like an evil spirit".
On this side, it seems like it was also a mild complement rather than jealousy. In a way, is it okay to say that they are confused?
"...I wonder in which number I'm going to be placed".
It was Ravel-san, who was counting on her fingers and thinking seriously. ...For the time being, I sympathise with you, Ravel-san.
"I've heard that a honey-mouthed man is more popular with women and has more experiences than a very handsome man. Unexpectedly, it seems like Ise-kun will be one of them. Somehow, this is a bit impure".
Rossweisse-san, who had rushed to the scene at some point, also said so.
And then, the reaction of our『King』, Buchou was――.
"...Is this cheating? I'm still a bit unprepared and surprised to encounter a situation like this so soon after I made him mine... But I am the next head of the Gremory household. I don't know how far I can go if I'm upset by something like this. For now, I'll have a quick chat with him later".
Buchou was still a little bewildered, but at least she was regaining her composure more than most of the girls who adored him. The girls who couldn't yet shake off their agitation all nodded their heads at the reassuringly strong statement of Buchou.
I saw that and got a little glimpse of the future life of the Gremory family. I see. It will be Buchou who will be thoroughly in charge of the girls.
Part 2
On the night of that day, Gasper-kun and I were visiting the Hyoudou residence for some reason.
Usually, Gasper-kun and I live together in a mansion near Ise-kun's house. For them to ask us to visit at such a late night, something big must have happened.
...And then something big happened. At least for the girls.
After Ise-kun fell asleep, Buchou and Asia-san got out of bed and moved to an empty room on the upper floor of the Hyoudou residence. There, the Occult Research Club members, including Gasper-kun and I, had gathered. Everyone was here except for Ise-kun and Azazel-sensei.
The women sat in a circle in the middle of the empty room and waited for Buchou's opening words.
"Tomorrow, Ise will go out. Alone".
At these words, all the women said in unison: "That's fishy". Then, the women immediately leaned forward and started to discuss this and that.
"...Everyone looks so serious. Even though we rarely talk to each other so enthusiastically...."
Gasper-kun mumbled this besides me. Gasper-kun and I decided to watch the girls' gathering from a corner of the room away from the circle. To be honest, it seems like they could do without us, but Xenovia said,
"This is a big deal for the Gremory peerage, or rather, a big deal for the Occult Research Club. So it's only natural that you guys should be at the meeting".
And so they called us here in such a half-forced way.
Tonight, Gasper-kun and I will be watching in the form of observers. After all, Ise-kun is the emotional support of our peerage, so this is certainly a big case, but... is the truth really that urgent? There is no end to my questions.
Buchou continued by saying,
"A while ago, I deliberately asked him on the bed, [Do you have anything to tell me?]".
"How did he respond?"
Irina curiously asked.
Asia-san, who should have been listening on the same bed with Buchou, said with a clouded expression.
"...[There's nothing], was all that Ise-san answered".
Everyone heard that and said, "That's not right", "He's hiding something!"
"Ise didn't look directly at me when he answered me back. When he's like that, he's definitely hiding something. I understand something like that. Above all, he didn't even look at my breasts when we were on the bed and turned his head to the side without moving his gaze to them. That is just too unnatural".
Buchou said this while nodding, like a wife talking about her husband. Akeno-san blurted out with a fragile, melancholy expression.
"...I used to enjoy the idea of an affair because I was dealing with Rias, Asia-chan and the women who live here. But I don't know why, when I found out that he was getting along with girls other than the Occult Research Club girls, I instantly felt sad... and frustrated... I guess I was such a jealous woman, huh?"
Akeno-san was confused by the changes in herself but revealed them honestly. The other girls also said, "I get it!", "I understand that feeling!" The other girls agreed with her. I wonder if that's how it is. I'm a boy, so it's a bit hard for me to empathise with that.
――And then, a certain someone opened the door and appeared.
"I've heard the stories, guys. Finally, that guy also got popular with human girls, eh?"
It was Azazel-sensei who entered the room. ...Where did he hear about it? Eavesdropping? Even if that was the case, where did he hear about it? Like always, he is still an elusive Fallen Angel Governor.
Sensei broke into the circle and addressed the girls, saying.
"You've made a mistake, you know that? You know, a man gets bored if he tastes the same thing all the time. It's the same with food and love. Sometimes you just want to secretly eat something different".
Sensei's bluntness caused Akeno-san and Rossweisse-san to raise their eyebrows displeased.
"Azazel, could you not put our love and food together?"
"That's right, Azazel-sensei! How can a shameless Governor like you talk about love!"
But Sensei sighed, shook his head, and declared.
"What a virgin says has no persuasive power. Listen to me, a man who has built countless harems until now".
Buchou hit Sensei's head with a paper fan when he was about to say something. Buchou exhaled and spoke to everyone again.
"Tomorrow, when Ise goes out, let's go after him. It's a classic, but I think it's the best solution. I mean, the wives around the world hire detectives to catch their husbands cheating on the spot, right? It's the same thing. We have to move our feet and see with our own eyes. I don't think it will be too late to question Ise after that".
All the women responded to Buchou's words with an "Uh-huh"... Really, I guess it's confirmed that Buchou is in charge of this group of women. Buchou appears to shine brighter than when discussing games and tactics.
...Ise-kun, the Gremory peerage ladies, seem to show their true worth when they love and hate you more than when they are fighting or playing Rating Game matches.
I watched from the sidelines and wondered if I could somehow harness this energy for something else.
Part 3
The next day, we started to move as soon as Ise-kun left. We followed him, taking great care not to be detected. I recall that something similar happened on a date between Akeno-san and Ise-kun. ...I guess we shouldn't be concerned about it?
Everyone was disguised so that they wouldn't be recognised even if they were seen. Buchou was even wearing a black wig to avoid being recognised due to her distinctive crimson hair. ...It seems that investigating the affair of the boy she loves is more important than her prized crimson hair. That is really reassuring because this part of her is just like an ordinary woman of her age.
In a cafe in the town, Ise-kun was sitting at a window seat. He looked around with a fidgety look and was constantly looking at his watch. He is probably waiting for his date. However, he's surprisingly calm about that. I've heard that he is not so used to dating.
We were hiding in the shadows on the other side of the river, watching the interior of the café. ...We are a big group, so we split into several smaller groups. Really, there are too many people for an affair investigation.
I was in a group with Buchou and Asia-san and we were hiding behind a building. Buchou had braced herself, but looked somewhat nervous and Asia-san was on edge and restless from the start. Either way, they are probably tense and waiting patiently for the woman to appear.
It would have been better if no one had come, but sadly, a woman, Kamo-san, came to Ise-kun's seat. She is dressed in a beige blouse and black skirt.
They sat at the same table and started talking over a cup of tea. ...Next to me, Buchou and Asia-san's expressions were becoming more and more clouded. Buchou, who had so bravely led the women of the Occult Research Club, also looked unable to conceal her shock at witnessing Ise-kun's affair. She had a sorrowful expression on her face.
I don't know your reason for having tea with Kamo-san, but Ise-kun, I think you're being a bit irresponsible... Since you've just confessed to Rias-Buchou, you should take a little more responsibility for your actions...
While I was thinking about this, the two people in the cafe got up and left the shop. They seem to be changing places. Seeing that, Buchou sent out a hand signal to everyone hiding elsewhere, and we continued to follow the pair.
...Well, let's see what happens.
And the story returns to the beginning.
They left the café and went straight to various parts of the town as if showing us their date: an anime shop, a bookshop, a maid café and a dubious antique shop. The contents of their date were pretty bizarre, but as we were following them, all the women were looking at them with envy and despair.
But as we kept following them, Koneko-chan, who has good hearing and Akeno-san, who knows how to read lips, started to show quizzical looks. It wasn't the jealous and tragic expression that they had shown earlier. It was more like their doubt had changed to a look of interest...
There was certainly something strange about the two of them. Kamo-san would always take out a notepad and check it whenever they went to each shop. This action was a bit odd for a date.
"...Rather than a date, this is a..."
"...Investigation... Issei-senpai has also mentioned something that sounds like advice..."
There was also a lot of doubt in Akeno-san and Koneko-chan's voices. The sun started setting as we continued following their date (?). They moved to a less popular place. From Akeno-san and Koneko-chan's appearances, Buchou and the other women began to sense that there was something more going on than a date.
As the sky began to darken, Ise-kun and Kamo-san reached a corner of the park.
If the atmosphere were like earlier, the women would have completely lost their peace of mind if these two had come to an unpopular park at such a moody time of the day.
However, this was no longer the case. The two of them were not a man and a woman on a date...
Is something about to start in the park? We were watching from the shadows.
Then, something huge emerged from the darkness without making a single sound. Illuminated by the park's electric lights, which had just started turning on, a giant man with a thick chest, muscular arms that looked thicker than a woman's waist, and cosplaying a character from the anime『Magical Girl Milky』appeared...!
I know this person too. It was Mil-tan, one of Ise-kun's regular customers!
Ise-kun emphatically said that he is a man among men with the heart of a girl and yearned to be a magical girl.
...W-Why are you in this park? Why are Ise-kun and Kamo-san facing off against Mil-tan...?
Kamo-san pointed at Mil-tan while we had no end to our questions.
"It was doomed for us to meet here! I'm going to get my revenge, Mil-tan!"
As soon as she said this, Kamo-san removed her clothes and below that, she was dressed in kariginu[1], which Onmyoji users often wear! I couldn't even imagine that she was wearing a kariginu underneath!
It was an incomprehensible development, but Mil-tan showed a deep smile on his frightening face.
"The Onmyoji has come again-nyo. Mil-tan has told you before-nyo. There's no way an inexperienced Onmyoji can beat Mil-tan's magic-nyo!"
Mil-tan pulled out what looked like a Milky Stick from his pocket and grabbed it. The toy sticky was held by his giant hand and it looked like a pair of chopsticks compared to his huge body.
Kamo-san pulled out several cards with the Five Elements of Onmyoji drawn on them from her pocket and headed towards Mil-tan!
What started at the back of the park was a battle between『Martial Arts Named Magic』versus『Onmyoji Techniques』, something that makes no sense at all!
What...? What's this? Mil-tan shattered the earth with magic (just a punch with his herculean strength), and Kamo-san unleashed the five elements, fire, water and various other attribute attacks from her cards...
We were taken aback. Buchou had a dumbfounded look, but regained her composure and went over to Ise-kun.
"Ise".
"W-Why are you here!? Or rather, everyone!? You've come in full force, huh!?"
Ise-kun was incredibly surprised by Buchou's appearance. It seems like we tailed him perfectly. He didn't notice that he was being followed at all.
Buchou asked Ise-kun a few words while glancing at the battle between the man among men with a girl's heart and the Onmyoji schoolgirl.
"What... is the meaning of this?"
"Well, um, it's like this..."
Ise-kun, with an awkward expression on his face, recounted the story.
Just a few days ago, Ise-kun received a personal consultation from Kamo-san. She had recently met Mil-tan for some reason, was intrigued by him, and when she challenged him to a fight, she was utterly defeated. She then heard that Ise-kun had introduced Mil-tan to Matsuda-kun and Motohama-kun, so Kamo-san requested Ise-kun's help.
Tell me about Mil-tan! She said.
Hearing this, Ise-kun was troubled. Is it okay to tell this girl about Mil-tan, a regular customer? However, Kamo-san was serious too. She was training to be a warrior and was trying to improve her power by fighting the fiercest of fighters (excluding us devils and other supernatural beings). Still, if she loses to a magical girl with herculean strength (the man among men), the Kamo family's reputation would be at stake.
"In the end, I talked it over with Kamo-san and Mil-tan, trying to find a better outcome for both of them. But neither of them was willing to back down, so in the end, with Mil-tan's approval, I showed Kamo-san what Mil-tan uses as sources of his energy today".
Ise-kun said.
"It's insane to think that watching and experiencing maid cafés, manga and anime can make you stronger! You fake magician bastard! Your attacks aren't magic, they're just martial arts!"
Kamo-san, who has an unexpectedly bad mouth, said so while shooting flames and lightning from cards.
Ah, I see. Kamo-san went to the anime shop and maid café with Ise-kun today to discover the principle of Mil-tan's behaviour. Rather than a date, Ise-kun was showing Kamo-san Mil-tan's secrets.
Mil-tan avoided Kamo-san's attacks with light movements that didn't befit his huge body and kept shooting his "magic".
"Mil-tan is only using magic to increase my power before attacking-nyo! This is real magic-nyo! Even though I went to a lot of trouble to tell Devil-san that it was okay to tell the secret of Mil-tan's power to the Onmyoji girl, and you don't even understand something like this? You're so pathetic-nyo! Look, this is a magic that gouges the earth-nyo!"
The impact of Mil-tan's sharp punch hollowed out the ground deeply!
"That is just a powerful punch!"
Kamo-san retorted while evading Mil-tan's vigorous punches.
...Everyone showed a reluctant expression in the face of this hopeless situation.
"...I'm going home".
"Yes, that's right. It was kind of anticlimactic. I'm leaving too".
Ravel-san and Rossweisse-san left the place with a sigh.
"I'm going to watch this battle between different fighting styles. A battle between Taijutsu and Onmyoudou is a rarity, isn't it?"
"I'll be watching too! I can watch it here and report back to Heaven!"
Xenovia and Irina-san decided to watch the fight out of curiosity.
As for Buchou, Asia-san, Akeno-san and Koneko-chan―――.
After surrounding Ise-kun and giving him a terrific glare, they dragged him somewhere.
Ise-kun resisted, perhaps feeling a slight sense of danger. Asia-san was adorably angry and Akeno-san had a smiling face, but electricity ran through her body.
"Ise-san had worried us, so I'd like to have a word with you!"
"That's right. I was quite desperate. I would be happy if I could recreate the feelings I felt, even if just a little, in my play".
"Asia, what do you want to talk about!? Akeno-san, I'm a little excited about that play!"
Koneko-chan made a hand shaped like a beckoning cat.
".....Do you know what a real cat punch is? It's the punishment for worrying us".
"Koneko-chan! Are you trying to kill me?!"
And finally, Buchou――.
"Fufufu, it was my loss worrying about you, but I'm glad I was able to reaffirm my love for you. But this time, I'm going to ask you to go out with me for a bit, okay?"
Ise-kun left the park, being led by a smiling Buchou by the hand.
Looking at the still-unfolding battle between the man with a girl's heart and the Onmyoji schoolgirl, Gasper-kun and I looked at each other.
"Gasper-kun. On the way home, shall we go somewhere and have a meal?"
"Yes, I'd like a place with a private room!"
Thus, the uproar came to an end.
Later, I was told that Ise-kun had dinner with everyone afterwards and spent as much time as he could having fun with the ladies.
The match between Mil-tan and Kamo-san――according to Xenovia and Irina-san――was a draw and will be rescheduled for a later date... A man with a girl's heart and Onmyoji schoolgirls are so powerful these days.
I told him when Ise-kun and I were alone together again in the clubroom.
"Anyway, Ise-kun. You shouldn't behave strangely and just talk with everyone honestly".
"...You're right. I was stupid. Well, I just didn't want everyone to meet with those strange guys. Kamo-san is a beauty, but she is quite the strange girl, you know? She is a battle maniac after all..."
Ise-kun said with a bitter smile. But you shouldn't make the people who love you worried, okay?
"But it was a bit of a waste. If I could have given Kamo-san a little more advice, and if we could have become closer friends..."
Ise-kun said with a perverted expression, but suddenly, he noticed an aura from behind him and closed his mouth. Fearfully, he turned his head to look behind him――there stood the women from the Occult Research Club, covered in a strange atmosphere.
".....Uuh, as I thought, so that's what you were thinking after all!"
"...You are full of ulterior motives".
It was a teary-eyed Asia-san and Koneko-chan with her eyes half-opened glaring at him. Ah, it seems like they heard it.
"Ufufu, what should we do, Buchou?"
Akeno-san smiled amused and asked Buchou. Buchou bitterly smiled, poked Ise-kun on the forehead with her finger and said,
"Well, let's hear your excuses over dinner at the restaurant again, shall we? It'll be your treat, Ise".
"Eeeeeeh! M-My treat?! Koneko-chan and Xenovia eat so much, though!"
Ise-kun was shocked. Fufufu. That seems tough.
The power of the women surrounding Ise-kun seems to increase day by day. Well, that's how peaceful things are.
I'll be secretly cheering you on from the side to see if you can become a Harem King.
Part 4
At the Hyoudou residence.
Runeas: Well, it's getting late. I'll be going home now.
Rias: Please come back whenever you want.
Runeas: Thank you. The next time I come to visit... let's see. Was it called a Rating Game? I want to see that.
Ise: Rating Game?
Runeas: Yes. It's interesting that not only devils, but also angels, fallen angels, humans and even gods are involved in the fight.
Ise: Then, let's call everyone to watch it together!
Runeas: I'll be looking forward to it.
