This is why we decided to focus on some 'suspicions' born from discovering the marriage itself and the authenticity of the signatures.

The very mention that something could've been damaged on such an important document, especially the signatures of both Lord Phenex's and Lord Gremory's, would have been more than enough to see proper investigation happening rather quickly.

I was sure that Ruval would've requested the temporary pause for the finalization of the contract for the sake of snooping around properly, making use of his heir's title to strong-arm that very right.

It was a little gamble, but one that had the highest chances of succeeding considering the words used, the kind of personality that Ruval had, and the reasoning behind such a compelling topic.

While the Phenex weren't arrogants, they were still attached to a set of social rules that urged them to make sure that they aren't on their way to mess things up so massively.

Mostly because the other family that would get screwed had ties with the Bael Clan.

With the letter finally written and promptly sent by Baraqiel some special seals connected to Grigori's post service, Sona decided to leave as it was nearing the time for dinner.

After making sure that she was well on her way back home, I re-entered back home and started to prepare some food for dinner.

But while I was well-immersed in enjoying a peaceful few hours before going to sleep, I failed to notice while happily eating my share of food that there was something that had managed to get Kunou smiling up to the very moment she went to sleep.

I hadn't noticed any clues about this… up until it was the time for the match to begin.

Morning started fairly odd as I arrived at Kuoh Academy with Kunou.

The girl was feeling bubbly, excited even, and I had labeled this little unexpected but positive mood to be born from something that had happened in school.

Perhaps it was related with Asia and her work at the Theater club.

The kitsune didn't seem keen to share what had gotten her this much giddy, and I wasn't well concerned in pestering her any further than a couple of questions that were promptly rebuffed.

My mind was focusing on another very important issue, something that I had been thinking about a lot before and after going to sleep.

Who was the sixth player for the ORC?

I had long confirmed that it couldn't be Asia as the girl would've mentioned something like that, and she wasn't just fit to play for dodgeball as a human.

Had Rias released Gasper early on? It would've been a stupid decision. The young dhampir still had an unstable Sacred Gear, and it wasn't possible that she would've let him out so soon from his little reclusion.

Plus, he wasn't even meant to engage in such activities, thus easily being removed from the list of the suspects.

I moved to any other students that the redhead could've interacted with and… none seemed 'trustworthy' enough to put to deal with that kind of situation.

While the match was going to be lacking magic, it didn't mean that a degree of limitations weren't already imposed to the two leaders about not bringing in anyone that they barely knew and trusted about.

This is why once I was done with the first lesson of the day, I tried to find Issei to share some words with him.

Yet, as I reached to where his classroom was, I found out by the leaving teacher that the brunet had been 'absent' for today's lessons.

Which was odd considering that he was one of the prime elements of Rias' squad.

The redhead and her Queen had been there for class, looking particularly confident during the lesson and… it all clicked to me.

Issei was possibly being pep-talked and 'trained' together with the rest of the club members, it was odd for them to prepare even more than they needed considering how 'unfair' the situation was going to be for them.

Once more proving to me that the situation wasn't going to be as complicated or difficult as I expected it to be early on.

We were well-coordinated and I was aware of some of the abilities that Rias and her team was capable of using that didn't require any magic.

There was no way they were going to truly pose an issue to what we had created out of a simple training session.

With determination driving me happy for the rest of the remaining time before the beginning of the match, I was finally called by Ruruko while I was in the fourth period.

The young brunette apologized profusely to the teacher, the woman looking at her with a sheepish and appeasing expression as to imply that there was nothing truly to worry about.

I think this was the very first time for little Ruko to be going around on her own to ask for a student, which was kind of adorable since she was doing 'great'.

As we were making our way towards where the game was supposed to happen, I ended up having quite the weird conversation with the girl.

"Uh, senpai?"

I blinked. "Yes, Ruko-chan?"

"Can I really ask you an important question?" She slowly inquired, shaking her head for a moment. "I mean, it's really important and-"

"Just ask, Ruko," I flatly interrupted with a brief shrug. "If it's important, then maybe you should tell me about it."

Yet there was something in her nervousness that was just bizarre. She didn't seem nervous out of the fact she had been assigned to led me to where the location of the event was.

It seemed more like… there was something else troubling her mind.

"Do you… remember that Sona-taichou spoke about a sixth player that Rias-san will be employing?" The brunette asked quietly. "Someone that isn't part of her peerage?"

I frowned, feeling instantly intrigued by the topic. "Yes, I've been thinking about this."

…

There was silence from the girl and I sighed.

"Ruko, is there something you wish to tell me?" I asked with some interest, pressing for some answers.

She hummed quietly. "Maybe?"

"Ruko-"
