Kouske's POV

In the morning Asagi and I are going to the school as usual but she's a bit grumpy. Maybe because there's someone new walking along with us. For Lavinia, it's her first time going to a Japanese school. So she's a bit excited, not that she never was

Lavinia's enthusiasm is one of her lovely perks. For now, she's hugging Asagi even as we walk much to the latter's dismay. Even though it's only been a day she's naturally destroying Asagi's defenses.

Many people at school were surprised to see us walking along with a foreigner. That too with a beauty like Lavinia. Once class started our classmates started asking us questions about how we knew her.

I just shrug and reply with a small answer saying that she's my cousin. After that, I just sit in my seat ignoring the kids.

Unfortunately, Asagi couldn't be spared. The others relentlessly kept asking her about Lavinia, especially the girls. Girls do like to gossip a lot.

'Haah' I just sigh in my head. I see Momo staring at me from the side. I just waved my hands to say hi to her with the usual smile on my face.

After school, there was a buzz in the whole school gossiping about how a foreign beauty had appeared in the upper class.

I see Lavinia surrounded by a crowd and it looks like she has already blended in perfectly. She's like a social butterfly lifting people's hearts wherever she goes.

I warned her not to talk about her sacred gear avatar so casually to anyone as it could repeat the same situation as last time. I even gave her a bracelet similar to mine so that no one detects her sacred gear. It looked the same as mine.

She was very happy getting a matching gift from me much to Asagi's dismay as she wasn't subtle about expressing her happiness. For someone like Asagi, Lavinia's tough to deal with. She can casually trigger Asagi without even knowing.

She can be clueless about the most mundane things, like what is seen in the DxD series. She didn't bother to hide her body when Tobio or Vali was with her, making them uncomfortable.

But she doesn't mean anything bad. She's a bit careless when it comes to certain things. Asagi could see that. So even she couldn't get angry with her.

After a whole 15 minutes of waiting, I could see her separating from the crowd. The three of us started heading back together.

We said our byes to Asagi as we entered our home. Lavinia wanted to make lunch. So I was waiting in the dining hall while she was in the kitchen.

After a while when she came with food, I saw some sort of soup made of meat mixed with biscuits and large cubes of sugar. I don't know about Italian dishes but I could confidently say there wasn't a single Italian dish this....unique.

Feeling a sense of dread I scooped up a spoon full of the soup. I could see Lavinia staring excitedly at me. After taking a spoonful of the soup...I erased that memory of mine with my memory alteration skill.

Even if harsh, I decided it would be better to tell her the truth than... sacrifice someone for her meal again. I took her to the kitchen with me and we both started making Udon on my instructions. Before that, I didn't forget to throw away that hazardous substance on our table.

We ate a hearty lunch after that. At least she isn't like those heroines who no matter how direct the instructions are given, never fail to make something as inedible as possible.

After that, we both took care of the dishes together. Living alone has certainly been lonely. So having her living with me was a welcome change in my life.

Then my wings came out as Vritra taught her human magics. I was not listening to her. I was thinking about the dungeon boss. Even after searching the whole place I still can't find any trace of it.Should search in the water or deep underground? Many thoughts were going through my mind.

Lavinia was like a serious student listening to every word of Vritra attentively to not miss anything. She was grasping things very quickly. Vritra helped her unsummon her independent-type sacred gear avatar.

She was really happy to finally be able to make it appear or disappear consciously. She was also able to make icicle lances with her sacred gear. She was jumping around excitedly for successfully using her first-ever magic.

After that Momo came to our house. She was a bit surprised that Lavinia was living with me but she pondered on it much as she knew Lavinia was a distant cousin of mine. Lavinia was quick to get along with her because of her easy-going personality

After an hour of teaching and teasing, I decided to call it a day. Her face was flushed red as I had teased her quite a bit today.

Touching my face, brushing my hands subtly against her, or just complimenting her for her dress and beauty.Even with all that she focused on her lessons.

Today she was able to make three wind bullets with her magic. I was very happy for her. One step at a time. With these constant small improvements, she could become a powerful magician in the future.

When our lesson was over, I decided to walk her to her home. I informed Lavinia that I was leaving. Then both of us started walking together to her house.

She wasn't saying anything. Must be because I teased her too much. But even a silent walk is a comfortable one if you are with someone close to you.

While we were walking I brushed my fingers against her a few times. Her face became a deeper red but she didn't oppose anything. So I decided to finally hold her hands in mine. She was surprised but not upset.

For the rest of the path, we walked together like that. There was a silent but pleasant atmosphere around us.

We finally reached her house. It was a two-storeyed above average building. We stopped in front of the gate. When it was finally time to say goodbye I decided to be bolder.

I smirked a little at her and brought my face close to hers. She instinctively closed her eyes with a flushed face. I just gave her a chaste kiss on the cheeks.

She stood there dumbfounded. I walked away as I bid my farewell.

"Bye-bye, Momo-chan!" I decided to call her by her first name as I made my way back home.
