"This weekend I will be out of Kuoh for some job out of town," I started to explain with a serious voice. "I should be back by Monday, but if there are any issues I wish to be contacted and I will make sure to get back as fast as I can."
I looked at both younger students. "Understood?"
They shared a nod and I sighed in relief.
"Good, now we focus on you, Asia-chan," I shifted the topic right to the second problem.
The girl blinked and frowned. "M-Me?"
"There have been some pressure about you having to join a club today and, do you remember the idea I gave to you yesterday about that possible club?"
Her eyes glinted with some remembrance and she nodded happily at what I was alluding about.
"The Theater club?" She guessed correctly.
I nodded at her query, remembering back when I had mentioned to the blonde that the club was offering the chance for students to work for a volunteering course that allowed people to participate in charity events and perform freely for hospital children visiting the Academy.
The idea of making people smile during their bad days, especially children, was something that had gotten the girl interested about quite instantly.
Of course, I had to check if there were any requirements that could obstruct the girl from applying for this situation and I found nothing that could be turn to be problematic.
"I think it's time you join 'a' club," I mirthfully continued and… she reacted quite funnily.
She almost squealed at my words, almost rushing to bear-hug me, but stopped short as we went towards the section of the school housing the particular club that the blonde was interested into.
The Amphitheater was mostly known to the students as the place where important announcements and events were held here at Kuoh Academy, and just a very few knew that it was also used as the 'headquarters' for the Theater club.
There were two presidents of the club, sort of consuls, and the club was evenly split between male and female students.
Previously an all-girls club, one of the precedent president had allowed for aspiring male actors to join and have their own representative when the school opened up to guys.
Surprisingly enough, this was considered one of the clubs that received a non-negligible amount of support from several of the school's donors.
It was just so well-organized and administered that the resulting events were considered the Academy's prime delight for any parents or rich visitors spectating to the plays.
Having already spared some words with both club's presidents before today, enlisting Asia ended up being a matter of few seconds as the girl was officially made part of the volunteering group with just her signature on the standard document.
Holding the copy of the certificate that rendered her effectively part of the club, I told her that she merely had to go to the student council's room and hand this out to either Tsubaki or Sona to fully validate it.
As we were turning the corner of one of the halls, we found our path blocked by a few individuals that I hadn't expected to find so suddenly.
Rias looked partly giddy as her smile seemed to exude with excitement and a sense of victory.
Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno were standing a few steps behind her, their hands filled with some fliers.
The red-haired girl had a single flier in her hands, seemingly ready to attain success about the situation with Asia, and, much to her future dismay, I decided to do something completely unexpected for her plans.
I patted Asia's shoulder and stated a few words. "I think I will be going, please remember to leave the certificate of your official acceptance to the club to Sona-san."
The blonde nodded happily and I decided to leave Rias to deal with her unexpected defeat.
Her eyes had widened in brief shock while I had passed her, and I was fairly sure she had realized almost instantly what was going on with this whole development.
But I really didn't care about it, as I wasn't trying to defeat her out of some fun reactions, but out of concern for my Kohais.
I was going to happily ignore all of that for today, especially since I still had to focus on prepare my baggages for the planned trip to Kyoto as I couldn't afford to merely steep myself to bask in this victory-
BZZT
I blinked as my arm shot protectively towards my chest, the sudden electric shock forcing me to back away from… Akeno?
I didn't look back, but I was fairly sure that she didn't seem to be genuinely planning to reach out for me while I was passing beside her.
Yet, as our elbows came close enough to touch each other, a sudden spark reached out from her arm into mine.
It wasn't painful, just 'shocking'.
And as Hoitsu continued for his path back home, Akeno looked back at him as he retreated away, her arm held close as she felt the same electric sensation.

I was baffled by the sight that I was bestowed the moment I stepped outside of the train coming from Kuoh Town, my eyes trying their best to grasp at the immense scenery I was bestowed.
Once the city that had hosted the Japanese Imperial Court during the Shogunates up until the Meiji Restoration, Kyoto has long been turned in an influential cultural key-cities of the nation with its impressive temples and palaces.
Being one of the cities spared by the US bombings raids during WW2, it was also one of the last ones to get properly modernized to a proper, contemporary level with numerous hotels and new quarters expanding the old capital.
I spent some time wandering around the area by the Kyoto Station, trying to get some important equipment before actually walking right to the Hotel Azazel had booked for me during my stay here.
The Mall within the large building was well-furnished with maps for tourists and quite the curious souvenirs. I decided to pick a couple so that I could give them to Asia, Issei, and to the members of the Student Council.
I wasn't certainly going to be too much parsimonious over the money I wanted to spend, especially since I had brought quite the substantial amount to keep up with any issues that might happen during this trip.
