The girl tensed briefly before nodding, her little faux annoyance replaced by sudden eagerness to get back home and probably rest for a while as I got prepared for school.

"We will tell Asia-chan and Ise that you've passed to pick up Kunou," Miki commented with a nod. "I hope that you both have an uneventful morning, especially with you Hoitsu-kun. I hope you've recovered from the jetlag."

The beauty of teleporting seals. No jetlag, no lengthy flights and… 100% tripping on myself.

Seriously, what caused me to trip so badly around? Baraqiel had said more than once that the seals were meant to not make people fall like I do.

"I spent half a day in Japan before truly returning to Kuoh Town," I replied with a calm tone. "I got most of it shaken off, but I wouldn't mind to enjoy some rest once I'm done with school."

"We understand and… be careful on your way back home," Gorou warned quietly. "You never know who you might encounter around."

We both nodded and saluted the couple as we walked away from the entrance and back to the main road as we ventured back towards our home.

"Did you've fun with Ise-san and Asia-chan, Ku-chan?" I inquired once we were well sent in the proper direction.

The girl hummed happily. "Asia-nee allowed me to try some of the costumes at the Theater Club. There are some pretty ones," The girl mentioned with a giddy voice. "And Ise-nii got me to watch some cartoon with Asia-nee."

I tensed briefly at the thought of the brunet having done something unforgivable like letting the blonde beside me watch some adult stuff but, considering that Asia had been there too, I could only guess that it was something that was meant for a wider group of people.

"That's good to hear," I replied with a nod. "And I guess there were no issues at school."

The kitsune blinked at the implicit question and… looked particularly sheepish for a while.

"I… I actually did a little mess and… it's about you, Niichan," She confessed with a nervous voice, causing me to frown.

"Anything worth some worries? Did you get hurt or-"

"I-It's about Akeno-nee and senpai."

I blinked at the mentioning of these two names and I nodded. At least it wasn't anything that hurt Kunou.

"And what kind of mess did you… do?" I inquired with a hint of my own nervousness as there was just so many horrible things that I might end up once we were done at home and going at school.

Especially the stuff that Akeno might have misunderstood with whatever the blonde might have told her.

The girl blinked, her golden eyes still avoiding to make contact with my stare.

"You know that… you did tell me that you just didn't have the mean to contact them because you don't have their phone numbers?"

I nodded at that awkward question, feeling like I could see where this was going.

"Well… I actually told them that you just..." She paused for a moment and then she brought down the hammer. "Forgot."

...Goddammit, I might die because of this if I don't fix this silly but deadly mess.

"Can you tell me why you told them that?" I pressed on with a calm tone, trying to avoid sounding even remotely angry at that.

Sure, in a normal situation I would've been irritated at having to deal with his incredible misunderstanding… but I had also noticed how mortified Kunou was looking at the moment.

The girl didn't reply at my query and I sighed, slowly pulling the blonde closer as I hummed quietly.

"I'm not angry," I assured with a small smile. "I just want to know what got you to do this little mistake."

…

"I… I almost blurted out what you were doing in Europe," She finally explained and I blinked at that reply. "I was distracted with some homework and senpai was inquiring about it and… and I panicked."

I hummed again, pausing for a moment in our walk and causing the girl to tense up as I turned to look at her properly.

She glanced back with some nervousness, perhaps expecting some annoyance now at this situation but her eyes widened as I carefully pulled her in an embrace before lifting her up from the floor.

Her arms wrapped around my neck and I gave her a brief squeeze.

"I'm not angry," I repeated softly, my smile widening a little as I noticed her melting a little in the hug. "From what I understand it was just a silly distraction and you were almost being a little too truthful with your senpai. It means you trust her a fair lot."

She gave a nod, settling her chin by my shoulder. "I'm still sorry."

"You avoided the disaster. I think you yourself have learned a little lesson from this little mess, didn't you?"

"I need to pay more attention to conversations?"

"That's a good thing you learned from that mess, yes," I replied slowly, drawing my attention to the road as I started to walk with Kunou still in my arms. Considering my training regiment, I was barely feeling her small weight. "But I was referring to right now."

… "Uh?"

"The reason why I'm not angry at you, Ku-chan, is that I know that I'm putting you in a situation of stress that you shouldn't be dealing with right now," I explained kindly, letting her snuggle a little closer. "By having you make a serious effort to keep such an important secret, I'm making your situation a little more complicated than it should be."

Her arms tightened around my neck. "Still, I should be more careful about this. That's why I was attentive during all other discussions!"

I blinked at that serious development from the girl and I chuckled, patting her upper back.

"I suppose you really are committed about this right now, aren't you?"

She nodded again and I sighed quietly. "That's… nice to hear."

The walk turned fairly uneventful from this point onward, with only a couple more words spent by the girl asking about details from my trip in Europe.
