"I suppose it isn't anything worrying," Tsubaki intervened while answering to my comment, before the gloomy mood from Tsubasa influenced the rest of the group.

"Just a message I wanted this individual to have, nothing too big."

Or maybe it was big, just as big as I expected her to be. I mean, I don't even know how she looks like and I was going for quite the blind search if we won that match.

For the ORC to lose it wouldn't even be that bad, especially since the only one in Canon that ended up getting a familiar was Asia… and she isn't part of Rias' peerage.

Issei wouldn't end up getting any, especially because Ddraig's presence would cripple his means to find strong familiars.

And like hell I was going to allow him a freebie in discovering the 'power' of clothes-eating slimes.

So I ended up accepting the fact that helping the Student Council about this matter was the most viable option, especially since I wanted them all to be ready for any fallout coming towards us.

Knowing the tragic rule of 'Power attracts Power', I wasn't going to let any sudden bastard appear and attack Kuoh without everyone is ready to match it up against them.

May it be Kokabiel, or even someone worse than him.

"I can allow that," Sona replied with a nod, accepting the deal. "And I hope you understand that we can also help you find a familiar if you want."

"I've thought of that eventuality, it sounds interesting and all," I commented back quietly. "But I really don't want to deal with a familiar right, especially since I wouldn't know how to properly hide it from some of my usual guests."

"You mean Akeno-san and Koneko-san?" Tsubaki inquired with a curious tone, which I proceeded to answer with a single nod.

"That's actually something I wanted to ask you, Hoitsu-kun," Reya piped in with a frown. "If you have so much trouble with them in your efforts to hide your connection to Grigori, why would you need to keep up with them?"

I sighed, shaking my head at that question as it was going to be a tough one to answer.

"I care a lot for both," I started to explain quietly. "Koneko… I feel her to be at the same level of both Ruko-chan and Asia-chan. They are my sweet kohais that just need guidance, protection, and utmost pampering when needed."

"You're making it sound like they are your younger siblings or something," Momo pointed out with a hum. "And I can say that you spoil Ruruko a lot during the council sessions."

The brunette, having listened to this fair point, glanced up at me with a frown.

She blinked, her lips twitched and then… she spoke.

"Oniichan?"

Oh Gods, this-

I felt my cheeks flaring at that sudden diabetes-inducing attack.

Ruruko saw this and giggled. "Hoitsu-niichan."

Another powerful stab right into my heart, my poor soul quivering at the brutal assault it was receiving.

"But what about Akeno-san?" Tsubaki's voice brought me out of that brief moment of weakness, causing me to blink and frown.

"If I've to be honest, I think it's something a little more complicated than anything else I've seen up until now," I admitted calmly, drawing a surprised look from everyone… and some irritation too. "I mean, I just find her case to be a saddening one, I think she would benefit a lot to have someone to talk to that isn't Rias."

"And why so?" Sona now inquired with some interest. "I thought both of them are quite the closest."

"They are," I replied quickly. "But I think Rias never tried to help Akeno with the whole issue of her nature. For her she is her best friend and Queen, and pushing too much would risk losing her."

"And Rias would be devastated by that, so she doesn't want to try her luck about it," The president of the council added with a sigh. "I guess I can see the logic."

"Now that we're done with this discussion, I think it would be best to move to the training room to prepare for tomorrow," Reya pointed out with a nod. "It's for the best we start early on so-"

"I'm calling dibs on Hoitsu-kun's team," Tsubasa interjected suddenly with a smug grin. "So when we win, we can-"

"Why do you have a thing for sweaty shirts?" I asked with a confused tone, making her smile even more.

"You will understand very soon, once we've won the first matches," The blue-haired girl affirmed with a degree of certainty that was actually worrying me.

Soon we were going to the room prepared for the training sessions and… we did end up winning.

And Tsubasa was mostly pleased in giving me chase across the room for some proper hugging.

While Yasaka had been quite understanding of the issues related to make something as big as a feast now that her palace could still be housing some unwanted guests, she had been nonetheless strict in 'offering' to the squad from Grigori some rooms to use to spend the night for this last day here at Kyoto.

Baraqiel was hesitant to refuse this offer, knowing that outright refusing would sour up any efforts put forward by the recent developments to bring both the Yokai Faction and his organization to a closer bond.

Vali hadn't shown any major surprise or interest over the matter, merely accepting the fact that it wouldn't just be convenient to miss out this opportunity.

Hoitsu… was hesitant about it. While it was true that the offer wasn't something overly expensive or seemingly out of the rescue just like Yasaka had been mentioning by the end of her speech, there was just something that felt odd about spending a full night there after what had just happened.

In the end, the masked brunet was forced to give a simple 'yes' at the offer, especially with how much Kunou had been pestering him about accepting to stay for the rest of the day.
