Kuoh Academy. Medical room.
- Sensei, I have a girlfriend! - Issei burst into the room and yelled, "Why do you have that look on your face?
What's it saying? My gaze was most definitely not that of a dead fish.
- And? - I asked him. - Please give me one single reason why I should know that, Issei.
- I distinctly remember you saying that if I ever got a girlfriend, it would be the last event of my life, don't you, Sensei?
Dude. You have no idea how right I am.
- Are you sure this girl isn't a figment of your twisted imagination? I wouldn't be surprised, considering the beatings you and your friends get.
- No!" he shrieked and pulled out his cell phone. - Here! See? It's real!
Yeah. The Amano Yuma. Heh. The kid's going to die.
- I see. Let your cockroaches in your head be yours alone. Now, don't stop me from working," I said and pointed to the door.
- But you're not even working! Anyway, you will see that all this is real.
With those words, he walked out of the office.
- Hmm? Merlin, what are you doing at school? - I shifted my gaze from the door to the bunk that was empty a few minutes ago.
- Master! How could you do this to me!!! How could you not mention all those jewels hanging around the school!!!! - He shrieked, pointing outside the window.
- Hehe. If I'm not mistaken, the Lady of the Lake locked you in the tower because you were spying on her. Are you sure you're not a native of this world? I'd believe it in a heartbeat.
- Oh! I'd be all for it! You v...
I snapped my fingers and, in the same nanosecond, Fou smashed into Merlin's face.
- Agh! Cat Palug! Stop hitting me!
- Die, Merlin! Fou!
I watched this spectacle and sipped coffee from my mug. Ah. Stability.

Kuo City Park.
Sunday. Evening.
I don't know why, but I still decided to watch that very scene with my own eyes. Me, Emiya and Fou stood in the shade of the trees and watched Cannonmeat and Yissei.
- Master, are we really just going to watch? - Emiya asked doubtfully.
- What do you mean 'we'? You're the one who followed us, right, Fou?
- Fou.
- That's right, he's trying to escape from his harem! You're so amazing, Professor!
- Fou, kyu," Fou sneered, assuming a serious look.
- 'Are you saying that his Sword Bone doesn't hold up, honorable Fou? Is that the reason for his current actions?
- Shut up both of you! I didn't escape! It was just a tactical retreat!
- I mean, you ran away. / Fou, we said at the same time.
- Enough! Why can't you focus on more important things?! Why do I have to suffer?! - Emiya cowered in the palm of his hand.
- Accept it, Emiya. It's all the fault of your luck rank, which, please note, is lower even than Lancer's.
Heh. Now he looks like a puppet with its strings cut off.
Hmm? I think we missed the pervert's murder scene.
- Are you happy, Master? You missed what you came for.
- Well. It's no big deal. Anyway, any minute now, a scarlet-haired demoness will be here to turn him into a demon. Goetia, do you want to talk to her? - I asked Beast I.
Not only Goetia himself was surprised at my words, but also my current companions.
- We do not wish to be your entertainment, Romani," he spoke up.
- Are you trying to kill her with a heart attack, Master? - Emiya asked.
- Do you really think I am trying to kill her? - I asked resentfully, and Emiya and Fow nodded. - No, no. I just thought, since we're going to reveal ourselves in the future, why not set the stage for it? And, Goetia, you'll only be half my entertainment. After all, Gremory and Bael will want to socialize with their descendant from this world, won't they?
In response to my words, Goetia materialized beside me and headed towards Issai.
- Well. Let's look at the reunion of relatives from different worlds, I suppose? - I grinned.
Rias didn't keep us waiting long. She appeared from the summoning circle and successfully turned the pervert into a demon. As she was about to leave, she saw Goetia walking slowly toward her.
She froze, her mouth wide open and her eyes unblinking.
- W-who are you? - Shivering, she asked.
- Don't you recognize us, offspring of Gremory and Bael? - Goetia wondered. - Does not your blood exult in meeting us? Do you not stand in awe of us?
Oh, brother. Why are you being so dramatic? Look at her. Her face hasn't changed even though she's already fallen. And I don't think she even noticed it.
- I-I-I-- W-You-....
Yep. Rias passed out. Seeing this, we walked out to their driveway.
- Oh, boy, oh, boy. Don't you want to try your hand at theater? You obviously have all the skills you need," I said, clapping my hands.
- Your statement is redundant, Romani Archaman. We are perfect at everything.
- That's right. Especially our sense of humor.
Goetia remained silent and dematerialized.
- What do we do with them, Master? Leaving them here is not an option," Emiya said, looking around at the teenagers.
I found the recruitment circle flyer and started studying it. Hehe. "Any wish granted?" Why not play with demons? I activated the circle and Akeno came out of it.
- Oya. So you're a demon, Akeno-san? Is that the reason for your 'dignities' of this size? The male part of Kuoh Academy is in for a huge disappointment," I said in an overly surprised voice.
- Ara-ara. Romani-sensei, what are you doing here at this hour? - She asked in a seductive voice, but when she saw Rias and Issei unconscious, she became wary. - What have you done to them? And who are your companions?
- Oh! You mean them? I had nothing to do with it, word from the Kuo Academy nurse! This beast is my pet and the man is my cook,'' I replied smiling.
Hearing my words, Fou started poking my cheek, and Emiya sighed tiredly.
- You can take them, Akeno-san. There's nothing wrong with them, I checked. If you want, I can come to your club tomorrow and talk.
- That's fine. That's fine with me," she nodded, activating the teleportation circle. - One more thing, Romani-sensei. My 'virtues' are completely natural.
After Akeno teleported herself and the two unconscious teenagers, there was silence.
- Were you really interested in that question, Master? Have you become a pervert as well? And why am I a cook? - Emiya asked with a twitching eye.
- Because you are the cook? And a mom. And a cleaner. And a helper. And...
- I got it! - He interrupted me with a scream. - Answer the question.
- Well, you must understand me. How can these things exist without breaking their owner's back? Gravity doesn't work on them? - I explained. - And anyway, why did you bring it up? Is Akeno your next target? Oh! I get it. You lack the same "toughness" that Rin had. After all, both she and Akeno are into BDSM games.
Emiya fell to her knees and started cursing his life.
- Fou? - Fou asked of the Fallen.
- Let them live for now. They will be dealt with within a week. Why do you ask?
- I asked him to do it," Grandpa's voice came from behind me.
- Oh! Grandpa? Why did you want to ask that? - Turning to him, I asked.
- They turned away from God's grace. The evening bell rang their names.
- Heh. I see," I said and thought. - 'Then let's do things a little differently than planned. Grandpa, can you wait for a bit? I promise you'll deal with them personally, but at a certain point.
He nodded and disappeared. Well, that's taken care of. Rias's group would have to do without a showdown at the local Church.

Kuo Academy. The infirmary.
I sat there drinking my coffee like any other day.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
- Come in.
The door opened and Kiba walked into the office.
- Romani-sensei, are you ready to go to the club? - He asked nervously.
- Yup," I stood up and walked over to him. - Why are you so anxious?
- There are certain reasons,'' Kiba answered still as nervously.
- Oya. Don't tell me there's a certain scarlet-haired man and his maid in the club, right?
- Not only them," he replied with a swallow.
- I see," I said with a smirk. - Well, since that's the case, we won't keep them waiting, will we?
Kiba nodded nervously and led me into their club.
Goetia definitely made a strong impression. If my senses don't deceive me, Sona and Rias' entourages are in the club, as well as a couple of Satan-Siscon.
Well. Time to talk.
