EPHS-Chapter 409 The First Visit
Kuoh Academy, Student Council—
"Kamiya Tenraku, how much longer are you planning to stay here?" It had been quite some time since school ended, and Sitri Sona couldn't help but speak up.
"Didn't I tell you, Sona? I came here today specifically to pick you all up. You agreed last time to move over to our side, but Sona, you haven't made any progress. That's why I had to come personally and invite you." Tenraku stated while stretching lazily.
"That was your own decision. I just mentioned I would consider it!" Sona emphasized the point coldly with no expressions on her face.
"I don't care. As long as you all don't move, I'll stick with you. Besides, aren't you all heading home soon? It just so happens that I'll visit too. It's been so long, and I haven't visited you on your side yet."
Shinra Tsubaki and the others lowered their heads, seemingly suppressing their laughter. Sitri Sona realized she had been trying to reason with this guy from the beginning. If he liked staying here, let him.
Sitri Sona and Shinra Tsubaki continued with their respective tasks, paying no further attention to Tenraku. He, in turn, didn't mind it and quietly watched the girls as they worked diligently. This feeling unexpectedly wasn't bad.
Time passed, and soon it was evening. Sitri Sona and her group had finally finished their work and were preparing to leave. However, when she saw that Tenraku was still here, Sitri Sona was somewhat astonished.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"Sona, are you underestimating my determination?"
Twitching at the corner of her mouth, Sitri Sona walked out of the office directly, and Tenraku followed with a smirk.
As they made their way back to their residence, Sitri Sona wore a stern expression. Tenraku, on the other hand, acted as if he hadn't noticed, chatting and laughing with Hanakai Momo and Nimura Ruruko, occasionally making the girls giggle.
Passing by a jewelry store, Tenraku suddenly stopped.
"Sona, Tsubaki San, wait for me." He greeted the girls and then went into the store alone.
Although she really wanted to leave this guy behind and walk away, Sitri Sona hesitated for a moment but ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.
Under the girls' watchful eyes, it wasn't long before Tenraku emerged from the store, holding a large pile of necklaces and bracelets, all things that girls would love.
"I rarely come to visit you on Sona's side, so I can't come empty-handed."
"So beautiful..."
"Are these all for us, Tenraku Sama?"
"Of course, choose one you like."
"These must be expensive, right?"
"Well, well, don't let my appearance fool you. The Phenex family is quite well-off, and money is the one thing we never lack in the entire Underworld."
Seeing Tenraku's casual attitude, the girls, including Nimura Ruruko, couldn't help but be amazed.
Indeed, in terms of wealth, the Phenex family was among the top in the entire Underworld. The wealth exchanged for just one Phenex Tear was beyond their imagination.
No longer holding back, the girls each expressed their gratitude and happily chose a gift they liked.
"Sona, this one is for you," Tenraku said while handing Sitri Sona a carefully wrapped gift box.
Inside the box was a silver bracelet, specifically chosen by Tenraku for Sitri Sona. It was exquisite and elegant, a perfect match for the young girl's demeanor.
"I don't need these."
Glancing at it indifferently, Sitri Sona seemed to have no intention of accepting it.
"Sona, we're already wedded. Are you still rejecting me?"
"If you don't like it, Sona, you can just throw it away. But to spare my feelings, please do it when I'm not around."
With a sad expression on his face, Tenraku directly placed the gift box in the girl's hand. She knew very well that this guy was doing it on purpose so Sitri Sona sighed and eventually accepted it.
"Don't let this be a precedent."
"Ah, duly noted."
A smile appeared on Tenraku's face as he silently praised himself. He was well-versed in dealing with Sona's various tactics.
Without further delay, Tenraku followed the girls to their residence. Being the esteemed princess of the House of Sitri, Sitri Sona's residence in the Human World was naturally not modest. It was a grand and spacious villa. And for convenience in their daily activities, Peerage girls like Shinra Tsubaki naturally lived with her.
"Tenraku Sama, please have some tea." In the hall, Shinra Tsubaki had prepared black tea for Tenraku.
"Thank you, Tsubaki San."
"By the way, Tsubaki San, you should also start packing the things you want to take. Later, move to our side with Sona."
After tasting the tea brewed by the girls, Tenraku said.
Without an immediate response, Shinra Tsubaki and the other girls all looked towards their king for guidance.
"You all go get ready."
Knowing that if she didn't agree to move, this guy Tenraku might actually end up staying with them, Sitri Sona ultimately chose to compromise.
"Yes, Lady Sona." Since their king had spoken, Shinra Tsubaki and the girls had no further hesitation.
Thinking that they would soon be moving to the Kamiya Family's side, living together with Tenraku Sama, Lady Rias, and their respective Peerage, the girls were also looking forward to it. One by one, they returned to their rooms to prepare the belongings they wanted to take.
"Please have a seat." Allowing Tenraku to make himself at home, Sitri Sona entered her room.
Unconcerned, Tenraku sat alone in the living room, sipping tea, and waited for the girls to finish packing their belongings.
Before long, Tenraku saw Bennia coming out with a small suitcase.
"Bennia, have you finished packing so quickly?" Tenraku smiled and asked.
"I didn't bring anything when I left home initially, so I didn't have much to pack."
Seeming a little embarrassed, Bennia's cheeks turned slightly red. She then took out a piece of clothing from her suitcase and handed it to Tenraku.
"Big Brother Sex Dragon, I made a new coat for myself. Could you please sign it for me?" She also handed a pen to Tenraku, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Tenraku looked at the girl's coat and couldn't help but feel touched. It was embroidered with the Susanoo pattern he had used in the last competition, and it seemed that the girl had personally done the embroidery.
"Is this good?" After signing his name, Tenraku handed the coat and the pen back to Bennia.
"Yes, thank you, Big Brother Sex Dragon. I'll treasure this coat forever!" Bennia was overjoyed as she carefully put away the coat.
Following Bennia, Shinra Tsubaki and the girls finished packing their belongings and came out of their rooms one after another. However, Sitri Sona, who had returned to her room, remained silent.
Not knowing what the girl was doing in her room, and seeing that it was getting late, Tenraku stood up, intending to go in and check...
