I blinked back to reality. "I-I finished cleaning the dishes."

The girl nodded finally ending the embrace. "Koneko-chan, if you want you could stay a little more after we finish our study session."

And with that I facepalmed hard within my head, forgetting for just an instant that there was going to be the important reunion with the Student Council.

The Nekoshou seemed to genuinely contemplate the possibility, which put me in a state of uneasiness, but much to Kunou's dismay and my minor relief, the girl shook her head at the idea.

"I would like to, but I have things to do back home. Thank you for offering, senpai."

At those words, the kitsune quickly went for her room with the intention of quickly do her homework and then join us for the study session.

Differently from the first time, Koneko had bought a calculator and was being incredibly careful with the way she was completing the various sets of math queries I've written down for her to complete.

It was a particularly quiet session, the girl having little to no trouble in grasping the logic behind some of the exercises.

An hour later Kunou managed to join us and started to ask about some of the formulas her senpai was using and, much to my glee, Koneko was keen to answer every single question from the fellow Yokai.

The session lasted for about two more hours and I was happy with the results the girl managed to get from this first repetition.

Before she went back home, the girl and I ended up establishing the hours where she could come for the sessions and I was quick to add that she could join us for lunch if she wished for.

She obviously didn't answer to that, but I could see in her eyes that she would thought about it.

I waited some time after Koneko had left the house to call Baraqiel.

The man returned half-an-hour later and he seemed sober from his trip to the pub, a good thing since he needed to have a clear mind for the meeting.

It was about late afternoon that the doorbell rang again, this time revealing quite the large group of people waiting there.

Sona and Tsubaki were in the front, greeting me with quick nods as I made way for them to enter.

"Sona-buchou, Tsubaki-san," I greeted back quietly, before glancing at the rest of the council entering inside.

Momo, Tsubasa, Tomoe, and Reya smiled happily and greeted me vocally, which I returned calmly.

Then it was the turn of the youngest of the group, with Saji taking the lead with a determined smile, followed by the slightly-nervous Ruruko.

"Hoitsu-senpai," He muttered cheekily to which I sighed.

"Saji-kun."

"S-Senpai," The brunette greeted politely, her adorable stutter restoring some easiness.

"Ruko-chan."

She blushed a little at the nickname, but nodded back with a small smile as I finally closed the door now that everyone was inside.

Tsubasa was the first one to take note of the size of the house by letting a quiet but noticeable 'woah' as she walked inside the living room.

Of course, the blue-haired girl tensed up as she heard the brief giggle coming from the table, where both Kunou and Baraqiel were sitting by.

Sona sighed but nodded as she advanced towards the well-known Fallen Angel. "Baraqiel-san."

"Sitri-san," The man replied with the same degree of politeness as the girl came to sit in front of the new leader of Kuoh Town's garrison for Grigori. "I hope today had been an uneventful day."

The bespectacled Devil sighed with a hint of tiredness. "As much as uneventful it could normally be."

With that calm note, some diplomatic discussion ensued to further highlight the points about the presence of Grigori here in the city, with Tsubaki taking a seat beside the Council President and aiding as much as she could in her role as her vice.

The rest of the group had to be monitored around by me, but much to my surprise, they all accepted to stay by the living room in exchange of some answers about some new questions they had wanted to inquire about.

Saji spearheaded the conversation by inquiring how strong I was compared to a Devil, to which I ended up providing with some uncertain reply to as… I wasn't actually aware of my current potential compared to a regular Devil.

Sure, I knew that I could have easily smashed through both him and Issei if they had to team-up against me, not because of raw power supremacy, but because of a better understanding of magic compared to them.

Still I wasn't sure I could keep up against someone like Momo and the other more experienced members of Sona's peerage.

I was aware that many had yet to get their own Sacred Gears, with Tsubaki being the only one to have a functional one as of now, but their abilities and undeniable experience make it up to create quite the difficult brawl for me to win about. Even drawing looked quite complicated to achieve in these cases.

The conversation between the two parties lasted about two more hours, concluding with Sona standing up from her chair and confirming the success of these diplomatic talks.

But instead of finishing the pleasant meeting there, Baraqiel decided that it would have been 'acceptable' for them to be spectating a training session with me.

Cue the immense nervous state grasping at my mind when we moved upstairs where the house had built-in a special dojo.

The room was filled with various seals and long-term spells that absorbed damage and restored any physical alteration to the room.

There was a small table by the far corner of the room, ten small bottles of Tears of Phoenix sitting there in line and prompting me to frown at it with a certain degree of uneasiness as I knew what kind of situation I had to deal with.

The rest of the Council looked quite unsuspecting of that the ten vials were meant to signify, with only Sona and, much to my surprise, Tomoe to look dreadfully at these.
