  Early the m, I woke up and practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard. After familiarizing myself with Zasu, I rushed to the academy, arriving in my just minutes before the first bell.

  Now, through practig basianship, the teiques were already deeply ingrained in my memory.

  What I o do now was to stantly engage in bat to further Improve and familiarize myself with the swordsmanship I had mastered.

  This way, when I used Zasu's Bankai, I was fident that my bat power would increase signifitly!

  However, just as I was about to sit down, the red-haired girl in front of me politely greeted me.

  "Good m, Kyoya-kun."

  "Good m, Rias, Akeno."

  "Ara ara~ Even though you fessed to me yesterday, making me yirlfriend, you greeted Rias before me this m! It's really quite hurtful..."

  Akeno covered her fad preteo cry, but her eyes were stantly, secretly my rea.

  Having already familiarized myself with Akeno's personality, I knew her tricks all too well. So I simply ignored her theatrics.

  "Alright, that's enough, Akeno. Your attempt at ag pitiful is making me feel sorry for you, but it's pletely useless. I won't be fooled so easily. I know you like the bay hand."

  "Oh? Does that mean you have some deep, dark secret, Kyoya-kun? Or did you secretly iigate me? Why else would you say you know everything about me?"

  Akeno lowered her hands, her pretty face full of fusion and surprise. Rias, beside her, also stared at me with wide, astonished eyes.

  However, I calmly sat down and took out the textbook for the uping css, all while looking tenderly at Akeno.

  "If you want to know the truth, Akeno, as I said yesterday, you o bee a member of my family. So, are you sidering being my family? Will you be my girlfriend?"

  Hearing my bold and ambiguous fession again, Akeno fell into a rare silence.

  Rias, this strange se, watched the two of us with great i.

  "Geez, really, we've only just met, and you're already askio be yirlfriend, Kyoya-kun. You're so forward, but I don't mind if we start dating first, you know!" Akeno teased pyfully.

  Akeno made a show of lookiful, which made me sigh helplessly in my heart. But I didn't get disced.

  She hadn't explicitly rejected me, which was a good start. It meant she had some positive feelings towards me.

  Seeing my calm expression, Akeno seemed to have thought of something, and she instantly dropped her pyful act.

  "Oh, that's right, Kyoya-kun. Be sure to e to the Occult Research Club after school today! You promised yesterday, so you 't refuse us today."

  "..."

  Being invited again, I stopped what I was doing, looked at the smiling Akeno and the serious Rias, and nodded slowly.

  "Alright, I'll ask Koneko- to take me there after school."

  ...

  I spent the entire day spag out and sleeping in css.

  Fenius student who always got the top scores on exams, the teachers were already used to it. And so, the school day ended quickly.

  "Looks like I'll o ask Koneko- about this ter," I muttered to myself.

  "Hm? Is there something you need Koneko's help with? If possible, we help too." Rias said, her gaze fixed on me as she anized her textbooks.

  Meanwhile, Akeno added with a hint of dissatisfa, "That's right. I'm already Kyoya-kun's 'potential' girlfriend. If you have any questions, why don't you just ask me? Why go to Koneko-? Do you perhaps prefer petite girls like her? It makes me sad..."

  "..."

  Catg the faint smile at the er of Akeno's mouth, I let out a soft sigh and calmly ignored her teasing.

  After the system awakened yesterday, I had gotten into the habit of stantly cheg it for asks.

  And just this m, while I ractig my swordsmanship, I received a ask from the system.

  [Ding! Task issued: Go to the Kendo Club a Sona Sitri's Knight, Tomoe Meguri.]

  The ers of my mouth twitched as I read the system's task. This damn system, this task is clearly tellio go and make enemies. But I have to do it. I'm still too weak.

  "Could you wait a moment, I..."

  Just as I was about to say something, Akeno shot me a fierce gre.

  "KYOYA-KUN! You promised just now, didn't you? Are you going to try and make up some excuse to get out of it now? You 't go ba your word."

  Hearing this, I immediately waved my hands weakly and said, "No, no, of course, I won't go bay word."

  Because if I didn't expin myself now, not only Akeno but probably even Rias would be very displeased with me, which would signifitly lower their opinion of me. So, I naturally wouldn't do something so foolish.

  Rias and Akeno exged gnces, pletely fused about what I ying at.

  Then Rias asked hesitantly, "Then what do you mean?"

  "It's a personal matter. I have something I o take care of today, and I'd like Koneko- to take me to the Kendo Club. After I'm done, I'll ght to the Occult Research Club with her. Don't worry. Why else would I pass up two such beautiful dies...?"

  "In that case, Akeno and I will head back to the clubroom first and wait for you."

  Rias nodded with a faint smile. Then, the two of them left the , disappearing from my sight.

  ...

  I let out a sigh of relief. Then, I found Koneko- and expined my iions.

  Although Koneko was a little fused as to why I was ied in the Kendo Club, she still agreed to my request.

  Then, under Koneko's guidance, I headed towards the Kendo Club.
