I looked at Sona and asked, "Why did you call me a liar?"

Sona shrugged her shoulder and pointed at Tsubaki who stood behind her. I looked at Tsubaki and saw her averting her gaze to the other side and I instantly understood what happened.

"Hahahaha, she's the one?" I laughed at Sona when I understood what happened before turning to Hagoromo Gitsune.

I saw her licking her lips seductively and said, "She didn't taste good."

I almost shuddered when she said that. I knew that I am stronger than her, but the way she acted asserted dominance towards the other.

I peeked at the devils too and saw them looking at Hagoromo Gitsune with wary on their eyes. Even Saji the newest member of Sona's peerage was looking terrified when he saw her licking her lips.

I never saw her acting like this in our mansion, but I guess this was her true nature. The youkai that reincarnated every Four hundred years, the ruler of Kyoto, the reincarnated Youkai, Hagoromo Gitsune.

She was not called the leader of Kyoto Ayakashi for nothing. She killed lots of humans and ate their hearts to gain the power to give birth to her child Nue, or better known as Abe no Seimei. The way she took the power of young girls by eating them through kissing them really made me almost jump off my couch earlier.

Thankfully, she just kissed the girl, which I guessed as Tsubaki, and taste her? Wait, that was a bit weird. But, it was a good thing that Tsubaki was fine.

I looked at Sona which focused her gaze on Hagoromo Gitsune. I coughed a little to gain her attention before I smiled and said, "Well, I will handle this matter because it was the fault of my friend over here."

At that moment, Sona smiled at me mischievously and somehow I knew what she will say even when she didn't say anything yet.

"Isn't this situation familiar, Nura?"

I shrugged my shoulder as I said, "Indeed it is. That's why I won't give you anything and you owe me nothing. Ah, I mean your debt for letting Hakuryuukou enter this town a few days ago."

"Oh, what a generous offer. But, didn't you forget about something? Such as evil piece?" Asked Sona as she smiled and fixed her glasses. For some reason, Tsubaki also fixed her glasses at the same time as Sona and looked at me with a serious face.

"Oh, yeah I forgot about that..." I said as I touched my chin. "If I remember correctly, I gave you that piece to exchange it with something else from Rias, and to prevent me from accidentally breaking it before the exchange process right? You were the one who suggested it."

I smiled at her and closed my right eye. I knew what she wanted to say since she brought this subject. That was why I had prepared an answer for her. She wanted to nullify my exchange for the evil piece, but I won't back down that easily. Who does she think I am? I was prepared since I gave her that evil piece.

Sona's expression became muddled and her smile dropped from her face. She remembered what happened back then and sighed. "Fine. It was my fault after all."

I smiled at Sona to show my victory over our discussion. But at that time I could feel Rias's presence alongside her peerage appeared in the school. Sona seemed to realize it too and she looked at me.

"It seems that you have to stay here longer than you thought." Sona said to me with a serious expression.

I just smilled back at her and disappeared from the couch. I reappeared in the door that lead to outside the Student Council Room and looked over my shoulder, "No thanks. We are leaving."

As I said that, Hagoromo Gitsune also stood from the couch and walked towards me. She eyed Tsubaki with a predatory gaze before turning back to me. I just ignore her gaze towards Tsubaki and we exited the Student Council Room.

Tsura, Kuroka, and Shirone had gone home without us, and because I was still worried about Kokabiel's attack, I had them teleported back to Kanto as soon as the school was over. So, right now it was just me and Hagoromo Gitsune who walked around in the school while I tried to avoid Rias as much as possible.

It was not like I was afraid of Rias, but I prefer to walk around with Hagoromo Gitsune to ask her something. I turned left to look at Hagoromo Gitsune. She wore Kuoh school uniform, that was unexpectedly fit her. But, I turned serious when she turned to look at me.

"Why did you kiss that girl?"

Hagoromo Gitsune smiled and touched her lips.

"I wonder why. I smelt something sweet came from her, and I somehow can't resist it. It was like the special girl that I had gathered in Kyoto four hundred years ago."

The special girl in Kyoto four hundred years ago? Was she talking about Yo-hime? The princess that eloped with Nurarihyon in Nurarihyon no Mago and the mother of Nura Rihan?

I need to confirm it with her, "Was the special girl that you mentioned Yo-hime?"

Hagoromo Gitsune seems to be delighted that I asked her that name. Her lips curved up higher and she asked me back, "Oya, you know her? Could it be, your mother in this world called Yo-hime too?"

I shook my head at her question, "No, I don't know who my mother is. That damned old man hid it from me."

We were talking as we walked out of the school building. Because I was concentrated on our conversation, I had become careless with the presence in our surroundings. Well, luckily it was nothing serious, just a destruction ball that was launched towards me and Hagoromo Gitsune.

On my left, Hagoromo Gitsune showed an irritated expression and pulled a fan from her bag before swinging it towards the black and red ball that was coming towards us. The reason why I didn't move was that the ball came from my left, so I guess that I could leave it to Hagoromo Gitsune.

Well, I wanted to see her power with my own eyes too, because I was curious! When she swung her fan, I thought that the ball of destruction would be stopped or disappear, but that was not it. The ball was sent back to the caster and a red-haired girl from afar blocked it with a shield that was made from the same energy as the ball.

After the two energy collided with each other, it disappeared into thin air. The red-haired girl, Rias, looked at me with an expression full of anger as her peerage began to arrive one after another.

Hagoromo Gitsune spread her fan and sidestepped to the left so I could see Rias and her peerage clearly. She was so considerate, but it was not the time for that.

I could see Rias glaring at me from the distance.

"How dare you…" Shouted Rias from afar.

"What?" I asked Rias shortly as I crossed my arms.

She walked towards me while shouting. "How dare you kill Koneko!!"
