Chapter 06: Inner Thoughts

"Count me in, Kaichou." Tsubaki said seriously. "I will do my best to examine him discreetly."

Sona nodded firmly to Tsubaki when a voice suddenly echoed in her head:

[As in the canon, Sona Sitri is extremely perceptive enough to let my sudden appearance go uninvestigated. Well, it's not like I went out of my way not to look suspicious. I've only been in this world for a week after opening a dimensional portal, but I certainly didn't expect to meet the heiress of the Sitri clan and her loyal queen, Tsubaki Shinra].

Sona froze with the cup halfway to her lips. She quickly turned her head to her Queen, Tsubaki, who remained at her side. Had she heard him alone?

But Tsubaki's eyes were wide, and she turned to Sona with obvious surprise.

"Did you hear it too?" Tsubaki asked. She quickly scanned the area carefully. She even used her magic to make sure no one was watching them. "That voice... is it in my mind?"

Sona frowned and considered the garbled words. "How does he know about me and my position in the Sitri Clan? And what is this 'canon' he speaks of?"

The voice undoubtedly belonged to Yuu. It was the same man who had sat in front of them a few minutes ago, babbling nonsense. The two girls could still remember him.

"Did you feel anything unusual, Tsubaki?"

"I didn't feel anything abnormal," Tsubaki shook her head. "And you?"

"I didn't notice any signs of magic either, not even any kind of intervention," Sona put down her cup and went to the window. She squinted at the courtyard outside where the students were talking. "It just seemed to... ring directly in our heads."

Tsubaki nodded slowly. Although she had many questions she wanted answered, one was the most important: "Kaichou, do you think it was intentional?"

After a pause, Sona shook her head. "We can't be sure. But on second thought, it was most likely unintentional on his part."

Tsubaki thought before nodding. Sona's argument was sound.

It would be rather contradictory if he suddenly wanted to reveal his secret. Besides, the content of his words was quite impressive.

"Wait." Tsubaki seemed to have a sudden epiphany and said. "What if he's not even sane? Maybe he's schizophrenic and thinking nonsense."

Ah, that was an obvious possibility! After all, Yuu wouldn't stop talking gibberish.

But Sona didn't seem completely convinced.

"We can't rule it out," she sighed. "But the tone he used when he thought about it sounded... cold. If I hadn't heard him speak to us before and paid special attention, I wouldn't have recognized him. Anyway, the point is that it didn't sound like the tone you'd use in the middle of a joke, let alone someone who wastn't sane."

Tsubaki thought silently. Then she sighed and mentally went over every detail of Yuu's words.

One of the aspects that stood out to him the most was...

"A time traveler? From the Agares Clan perhaps?"

Members of the Agares Clan possess the unique trait called Time. It's a kind of ability that allows them to control time to a certain extent.

But Sona denied it almost immediately. "He said he opened a dimensional portal, not that he manipulated time. Also... he mentioned that he came to this world, not from the future or the past. And if he was an Agares, we would have recognized him by his demonic aura."

"A person from another world... how is that possible?"

Several dimensions were connected to Earth. The Underworld itself was a clear example. However, even though the girls knew this, they had never actually heard about the existence of other worlds.

Especially Sona, who was the heiress of the Sitri Clan. With her position, she should have learned something during her studies in her clan's library, and if she didn't find it in books, her parents would surely inform her.

"Besides... How strong could he be to open a portal to another world?"

Tsubaki tried to imagine Yuu as a powerful being, but found it almost impossible considering his personality.... She inadvertently remembered the moment when he had flirted with her. The Vice President felt a slight blush creep up her cheeks.

'Don't think about that now, Tsubaki! Count the sheep... One sheep, two sheep.... Why do the sheep have Izumi-kun's face on them?!'

While her dear Queen was having a hard time because of a certain rather handsome boy, Sona let out a sigh.

"We should investigate him. We don't know if he's a danger or not. And if he really is from another world, I would like to have him as an ally and even as part of my Peerage, if he turns out to be good, of course."

At that moment, Yuu's voice echoed in their minds again. But instead of clearing things up, it only added more fuel to the fire. No, it was more like an atomic bomb!

[I wonder what would happen if I told Sona that this world is actually based on an anime in a certain category. Umu, harem, ecchi, almost hentai. In fact, a world of big tits. Yes, High School DxD—an anime with a rather kinky protagonist]

[Haha, well, she'd probably think I'm crazy. Though it would be fun to see her reaction]

Anime franchise? Harem? Hentai-like ecchi anime? World of big tits? That was ridiculous! So ridiculous that Sona didn't even know where to start to argue. She tried to argue the impossibility, but...

Her violet eyes involuntarily wandered to Tsubaki's ample tits. They were as huge as her ass!

Now that she thought about it, Rias was no slouch in that characteristic either. No, Rias was definitely the most voluptuous! It was not for nothing that she was known as the most beautiful girl in all of Kuoh.

So much perfection to be natural. And indeed, all the girls in Kuoh looked like something out of a magazine cover.

Sona looked at her own body and thought. 'It is impossible for me to use my breasts as a table for a soda. If I spill anything, it falls straight to the floor. I don't have a mountain of flesh to hide the sight of my own feet.'

It was clear that she did not fit the physical prototype of most girls if they were in an ecchi and harem anime, as Yuu mentioned.

She blushed a little at this discovery. But she shook her head vigorously to push those thoughts away.

She turned her gaze back to Tsubaki's huge boobs. Yes, it looked like a natural mountain that could hide the view.

At least she could console herself with something: For the first time, she was glad she had inherited the Sitri family's intelligence instead of their... breasts.

Well, that didn't work...

She cleared her throat softly to hide her depressing thoughts.

"Tsubaki."

"Ah, yes?" Tsubaki slowly came out of her self-absorption.

Actually, she was still thinking about Yuu's earlier words, but no matter how you looked at it, it didn't make any sense. This man was definitely not in his right mind!

"You think I look like an NPC?"

Tsubaki chuckled. "Well, sometimes you seem emotionless. But you're definitely real, Kaichou."

Sona nodded and walked over to the mirror, studying her reflection carefully. Then, to Tsubaki's surprise, she pinched her cheeks.

"Uh-huh, that hurts." She nodded. "I'm definitely real."

Tsubaki was speechless. Sona could be very literal sometimes.

"Anyway, Tsubaki. From today on, I want you to not only gather all the information about him, but also keep a close eye on him, okay?"

"Ugh... Okay, Kaichou."
