tea party

The trio entered the council room, Naruki looked around to see familiar faces, some of which he saw recently.

he saw all kind of tea and cakes, "Is that vintage tea? That is rather costly!" Naruki states

"Oh?" Akeno next to him was surprised, "do you recognize it, Naruki-kun?"

"Of course, my mother drilled me with tea and cake knowledge since young." he smiled wryly, and walked towards the room's center 

The people in the room looked at them with interest

"oh! Is that the students who came to draw with president?" a girl with reddish hair and pigtails asked

"it seems so." another girl with white hair commented and looked at Naruki with interest

"Welcome, everyone." Sona, who was setting, stood up and greeted them, "please set."

Akeno joined her king, who were accompanied by her knight and rock, Isemi looked at Kiba and blushed intensely at him, Kiba who get used to this wasn't bothered, but that wasn't the case to Naruki

'What's wrong with her?' he thought with confusion 

[Oh, it's not like you have an ability to read her current thoughts or something.] mochi said sadly 

'... that's on me.' he didn't retort and looked at her

[Isemi (80), mood: ashamed, flustered, current thought: "h-how did Naruki and Kiba could do something like that?!"] 

'Did what?! Is that about the fight? But her mood doesn't match... I'll look into it later.' he realized he didn't exactly explain what happened in the break to her

"so, let me introduce you" Sona voice rang, waking up Naruki 

she pointed to the girl with twins tails, "this is my secretary, Meguri Tomoe." 

"Hello~ I'm Tomoe! I'm excited to meet the one didn't lose against the president!" he smiled widely and took his head and shake it

Sona continued," and this is Hanakai Momo, the treasurer." 

She did a low bow, "pleasant to meet you, feel free to call me by name." 

"The pleasure is mine, Tomoe, Momo." he said, "oh, my mother raised me to call everyone one by their name, if you feel it's rude, please tell me. You can call by my name too."

"Ehehe, are we at first name phase already?" Tomoe giggles

"Then please excuse me, Kazuya-kun." unlike Tomoe, Momo kept her manners

"Ahem!" an irritated redhead coughed, and smiled, "now that we out of pleasantries, can we start?" 

"Wait, I didn't introduce myself!" Isemi complained

"there is no need, you are well-known to us." Rias said with a smile.

"D-do you?" Isemi asked

"of course, in fact, part of this party is about you." Rias answered

"??" 'They want me to experiment already?! But I yet to prepare my heart!!' she panicked, 'my purity is for Naruki!' 

Tsubaki meanwhile was distributed the tea cups, and some fancy cakes to everyone

"Thanks, Tsubaki." Sona smiled, "indeed, let's start, but first... Rias, you didn't tell me you wanted to test Naruki-kun already? You could have asked, without you know, to use Kiba emotions..." 

Rias was prepared to this, "I know the wrong in this," she confessed, "but Kiba was furious for me, and I asked him multiple times to drop it, yet he didn't listen." Rias looked at Kiba, who looks at the ground with shame.

"So I suggest trying test Naruki-kun." she looked at Naruki who smirked in return, which indicating her already know causing to pout, "I'm still wanting to know how you did it."

"I can tell you." Naruki chuckled when he sees her acted childish, "it's not that hard actually" he shrugged, "when Kiba came to my classroom, he looked too normal and friendly for someone who -in his views - insult his king," he said

"but that doesn't explain why could you tell we were outside the barrier." Akeno voiced her doubts

"oh, but I never was sure." he chuckled, 'Even with energy sense, any time my Mana threads touch that barrier it disappeared.'

"Like I said, it's a fluke, a bluff" he continued, "Rias wouldn't want for us to have a restraining relationship, but she couldn't just order Kiba to not vent, as it only would grow," he explained

earning a few nods from the devils as Rias stated, "Yes. I didn't want Kiba to do something irreversible, but at the same time, I couldn't just ignore his feeling." 

"That's why Bochou suggested the play we did." Kiba, who was silent, spoke up

"and as for why I decided to bluff my way, Kiba isn't the type to lie about wanting Rias to meet me." Naruki added, "There, I figured out that's something might be sketchy, and I think you want to see the test you made, so I called Kiba out of this." he smiled at Kiba who laughed in embarrassment

"the change in expression told it all, and during our fight, I noticed he avoided getting close to a certain direction, so I guess you were there, hidden behind the barrier." he finished his explained

"... that's really keen of you, Naruki kun." Sona looked in surprise, "no wonder you draw against me, now I really want you." Sona said in slight smile

"hmph!" Rias snorted, "fine! He is smart and isn't weak." she is clearly salty about her scheme being exposed, "But is that enough to help me against Riser...?" she muttered, causing the atmosphere to become a bit gloomy 

"Rias..." Sona said not knowing how to consult her, but understand her feeling as she was in this situation before

"Erm..." soon an unsure voice rang out, everyone followed the voice, to look at bewildered Isemi 

"... can you explain what's going on...?" she asked, 'I thought this place will turn into an orgy! What's the hell is up here?!'

"Oh..." everyone remembered her, the gloomy atmosphere turned into a fit of laughter started by Naruki, "hahahahaha." everyone followed him, even Koneko and Tsubaki smiled slightly

"did I do something wrong?" she questioned, which was denied by Akeno, "no, Ise-chan, you did right." Akeno giggled, "it's our fault we didn't explain it from the beginning." 

"Explained that Naruki and Kiba did bang?" she asked in doubt

"....." silence 

"... what?" Naruki after a dozen seconds, asked in shaky video

"you didn't bang?" she asked again

"...why do think so?" Kiba asked, trying to hold himself from mental breakdown

"well, on the way here, Akeno-senpai and Naruki were discussing something about the two of you, talking about first time, swords, battle, and Akeno-senpai being excited and wanted to join..."

Everyone looked at the pair, Naruki had black lines on his face, 'So that's what I was missing! A freaking misunderstanding!' he cursed

Akeno didn't mind and even giggled, "if you put that way...that does seem a bit naughty fufufu." 

'YOU THINK?!' everyone thought in their mind 

Sona wanted to facepalm, "Hyoudou-san, that wasn't the kind of fight you imagined." 

"Really?! Thank God!" she sighed in relief, "then what were you talking about? An actual fight? Like Kendo?" 

"I guess you must show you, to make you understand." Rias sighed, "but this will chang-"

"yeah yeah, change my life, Akeno-senpai already told me" 

"that wasn't what... never mind, everyone, just show your wings." she ordered

under Isemi astonished eyes, aside from Naruki, everyone had a pair of bat wings on their back

"... what? Are you vampires?" Isemi asked, "That's very cool!"

"No! We are devils!" Rias answered

"Devils?! That's even cooler!" Isemi eyes had stars, "you don't seem very... shocked." Sona inquired

"oh, I'm shocked!" she confirmed, "my whole world shattered down!" 

"Then why you looked excited?" Kiba asked wryly

"why wouldn't I?! Say, can I be one?!" she asked in exhilaration 

"you want to be?" Rias asked, "can trust us easily?"

"Hmm," she thought, "Naruki seems to know about this, and since he wants me came here, I guess there's something for me to know her, And I trust him." she looked at Naruki warmly

"Isemi..." Naruki looked back at her and smiled embarrassingly, 'I think I'm still not used to receive affection.'

"I see…" Rias nodded, "will you let me have her Sona?" 

"Haah, sure" Sona smiled helplessly, "you need her more than me." 

"Thank you... I remember this favor." Rias smiled heartily and looked at Isemi, "Isemi, first I need to explain a few things to you."

/after explaining./

"So you still want to do it?" Rise asked with expecting tone

"ugh, that's supernatural talk confused me, so we have devils, angels and fallen angels at stalemate for now, and also every mythology and gods are real now, then why didn't answer my wish?!" Isemi asked in agitation

"what was your wish? Maybe we can help with it?" Akeno asked

Isemi looked at Naruki and blushed, but had a determined face and asked, "you told me that polygamy is normal in the supernatural world, right?" 

"Indeed, but don't worry, it's depends on your choice, no one will make you marry against your will." Rias reassured, 'except if you were born into my family.' she sighed

"then..." Isemi looked at Naruki, "I want for Naruki to have a harem!!"
