----------

My little silent thinking earned me a minor headache as I slowly ended up theorizing where exactly Vali and I were supposed to be sent to.

Germany was big, but from my understanding we were going somewhere in Sachsen, nowhere near where the capital's own issues were.

Away from the spotlight, away from the possibilities of dealing with new developments that could see me put once more in danger.

Before doing anything else, I decided to make a quick call to Sona and Tsubaki to warn them of this sudden development, both showing some surprise but eventually understanding the point of Grigori to have this Magicians' issue solved the quickest possible.

While the potential displayed by the men and women were fairly limited, their numbers showed that those could actually be the very backbone of something far more serious than a little organization's work.

Soon, I provided them with an excuse that I was actually going in Okinawa for some days to help some distant relative, and so Sona had a mean to alert Rias without creating any odd suspicions over the situation.

With these thoughts set to be delved further much later in the day, I entered my bedroom and blinked at the sight of a nine fluffy tails of golden waggling slowly as Kunou lied on the bed, her eyes open and directed at the door while giving a patient look.

The Kitsune was wearing her new Pjs and I was glad that there was nothing ecchi in the way she was positioned, no unnecessary skin showing and she looked mostly adorable like that. Like a puppy starving for affection.

I snorted, a small smile playing in my features. "I think you are getting quite spoiled, aren't you?"

She pouted briefly, but didn't shy away as I slowly slipped inside the covers and waited for her to start to move.

The blonde sighed in relief as her head nuzzled on my chest. I patted near her fox ears and she hummed pleased by the calm but careful ministrations.

With her eyelids half-closed, I decided to break the news to her now as things will get quite annoying in the morning.

"From tomorrow morning, I will be away from Kuoh Town for my work." Her sight was quickly locking on my face. "It will be just for four days, by Tuesday's early morning I will be back here."

She blinked, a little tense as she asked more about this.

"Four days?" The blonde inquired with some hesitation. "Isn't that a little too much?"

Considering that I could have been sent for more than two weeks to deal with that? Not truly, no.

But I suppose the girl was pondering over the fact I was going to be away from her 'for so long'.

"It's just four days, Ku-chan. I will call Mr. and Mrs. Hyoudou early tomorrow to to see if they can house you for that much so that you can have some good company, okay?" I offered with a warm smile. "In fact, why not have a sleepover with 'Asia-nee'?"

Golden eyes glowed eagerly at mentioning the fellow blonde and at the possibility of having even the funny brunet around, but then she hummed with a hint of uncertainty.

"What about senpai… or Neechan?"

"I don't have their number," I admitted genuinely, as I was sure that Koneko didn't have a phone at the moment, and I wasn't going to test Baraqiel's patience by 'asking her daughter for her number'. "But if they pass and wants to spend some time I don't see any issue with that."

She smiled and nodded, further snuggling close to the warmth. "Niichan?"

I hummed in response, half-asleep already and she giggled.

"I… love you, Niichan."

I sighed happily and pulled her head closer, kissing her forehead and smiling at the genuine words. "Love you too, Imouto."

Sleep soon took us both out and I found myself dreaming about a peaceful life away from facing troubles like the Khaos Brigade and the revival of Trihexa.

A life… which didn't sound to be that bad to live thoroughly with these odd circumstances, despite the minor annoyances I had for some people...

It was quite early in the morning when I found myself humming around while moving a couple of bags around, having already my travel bag on the table as I let Asia and Issei move around the living room with the little bag that had all the necessary clothes, and objects that Kunou might need during this little experience by the Hyoudou's Household.

"Once more thank you for helping Ku-chan with her baggage-"

"Nonsense, senpai. Issei and I will be more than happy to take care of Kunou-chan while she stays at Issei's house-" The girl paused for a moment as she continued to look around, a little awed at the size of the place. "T-This house is really big. I hope that we will be able to keep it proper while you are out, senpai."

"I'm sure you two will manage," I commented back with a nod, smiling at the lovely wonder on her face. "Plus, it will be good experience when you two get old enough to get a proper house."

Possibly together, hehe.

The brunet nodded in agreement at my words, then turning back to me with star-glittered eyes.

"Is this what will happen if I continue working part-time?" He inquired about it. "I mean, it's pretty low for wages but-"

I shrugged. "If you keep up for a long time and properly, you will be able to buy what you want in due time, even a house."

He nodded, happy with the answer as I turned to Kunou.

"Remember to listen to Asia-chan and Ise if they say that there is something dangerous going on, okay?"

The young blonde nodded quickly, adjusting the small backpack by her shoulders.

"I will be fine with Ise-nii and Asia-nee," She hummed happily. "Plus, I will be having a sleepover with Asia-nee!"

I let out a snort while patting her head. "Good and..."

I blinked towards the two distracted teens, a little devious plan forming inside my mind.

"Also, do try to bring them closer," I whispered to her quietly. "Just some suggestions, nothing too much complex."
