  ....

  One day, I received an urgent message from Akeno, askio e to the Occult Research Club. She stressed that it was important and that I absolutely had to be there.

  I was a little fused, not knowing why she couldn't just tell me over the phone, but I agreed to go.

  Later that evening, after finishing my business with Sona, I arrived at the Occult Research Club.

  "Kyoya-kun, you're finally here. If we hadn't invited you, would you still be lost iender embrace of the Student cil, unwilling to visit us?" Akeno said, her usual teasing tone hiding a hint of something more.

  "Don't try to pin that on me. My retionships with my girlfriends are perfectly legitimate. Besides, wasn't I helping Sona with her paperwork?" I retorted with a roll of my eyes.

  I g Kiba and Koneko, then asked, "Why is everyooday? Even Kiba-san and Koneko haven't go on a case."

  Kiba and Koneko remained silent, their expressions a little strained.

  Even Kiyome and Asia seemed uneasy, sitting quietly off to the side.

  "I'm really sorry, Kyoya-kun. I feel terrible dragging you into this mess. But rather than him, I want to be with you." Rias embraced me, burying her head in my chest, her voice firm.

  "Him, who is he? Could it be that Devil Rias is eo?" I held Rias's slender waist, realizing what was going on, and asked.

  "Kyoya-kun, you already knew? In that case, I expect you to keep your word." Akeno reminded me.

  "Of course. I won't let aake Rias! Just watch—I'll take care of everything." I decred fidently.

  Hearing my words, everyone smiled.

  Then, I sat on the sofa and waited for the "turkey" to arrive.

  As night fell, the group chatted casually, but Rias was visibly tense. Even though the room was warm, she felt a chill.

  "He's here."

  ....

  Suddenly, I spoke, my expression turning serious. Because of my ret increase in magical power and bat training, my senses had bee incredibly sharp. I could sense Riser's arrival long before anyone else.

  In an instant, a red magic circle appeared in the room, startling everyone.

  Standing in the circle were a blond man in a red suit and a petite girl with long, blonde hair styled in twin drills.

  The girl had a beautiful, fair plexion, ae her small stature, her chest was quite ample, leaving oo wonder what she ate to grow se up top.

  There was no doubt that this girl was Riser's most doted-upon younger sister, the little princess of the Phenex family, Ravel Phenex.

  "Oh, Rias, my beloved fiancée, I've missed you so..." A fmboyant voice suddenly rang out.

  Before he could finish, I interrupted him. "Who taught you to strut around like that? Look me in the eye, you damn turkey. I've been waiting for you."

  I slowly stood up, looking at Riser Phenex with undisguised pt.

  Riser was taken aback. It seemed they had expected his arrival.

  "...."

  Everyone was momentarily stunned by my words, but then they burst into ughter, uo tain themselves.

  Even Ravel, who had apanied Riser, couldn't help but giggle, though she quickly posed herself. Still, she couldn't help but steal curious g me.

  Riser was already ahat I had interrupted him, and now, hearing everyone's ughter, his expression turned grim.

  Normally, Riser wouldn't have deigo speak to someone like me, pnning to ignore me pletely.

  But theiced that I was holding his fiancée's hand, which filled him with rage.

  "Hey, you, what's your retionship with Rias? Let go of my fiancée's hand this instant!" Riser shouted, his voice cold and harsh.

  As soon as Riser finished speaking, everyourheir attention to me.

  Without waiting for Rias to expin, I pulled her into my p, embrag her possessively, and decred with a challenging smirk, "What's our retionship? We're lovers, of course. Rias belongs to me, body and soul!"

  "!!!!"

  Everyone was shocked by my btant fabrication!

  "Kyoya-kun..." Rias was stunned, not expeg me to say something so misleading. But a warmth spread through her heart.

  Koneko frowned slightly but didn't say anything, though her expression was plicated.

  Kiba, oher hand, gave me a thumbs-up in silent admiration. 'As expected of the friend I aowledge!'

  "How bold~" Akeno said with a teasing smile, clearly enjoying the show.
