"Are you sure, Koneko?"
In front of Rias-kaichou, Koneko, with an impassive expression, affirmed: "Yes, everything I said is what I saw with my own eyes, Rias-kaichou."
"Good job, Koneko!" Rias's eyes shone like stars in the sky.
Light Yagami, she had heard of this boy before...
Controlling her excitement, she said: "Koneko, don't tell anyone else about him, ok?"
"Yes, Rias-kaichou." Koneko nodded, having a sense of why she asked to keep it a secret.

Killing an Ayakashi didn't earn him anything. Well, he really didn't expect anything, since that Ayakashi's luck was -10.
After parting from Himari, Felix returned to the classroom.
Issei looked downcast when Felix entered and saw him.
[My childhood was marked by a series of misfortunes that shaped me into what I am today. I was a victim of domestic violence, perpetrated by the only maternal figure I knew in my childhood. The woman who should protect and love me unconditionally treated me with brutality and indifference. To aggravate my situation, she was arrested for theft when I was very young. With her imprisonment, I was left in an orphanage, a cold and impersonal place where I had to grow up, yearning for warmth that never came. At the time my mother was released...]
Hearing this voice, sweet but at the same time tearful, Felix identified to whom it belonged. It was also at this moment that he understood that the roles had reversed; she could no longer hear the heart voice of the protagonists or his, as she had become the Chosen of Fortune.
[But fate had other plans; my mother did not come to pick me up at the orphanage after being released. There, within the cold and impersonal walls, I learned to grow up alone, hiding my emotions behind an unshakeable facade. When the president of Strawberry Productions found me, I was a closed book, a 12-year-old girl who believed she was not worthy of love or success. "You don't need to know how to love now, you just need to present yourself well," said Ichigo Saitou, and somehow, those words gave me something I never had before: hope.]
Her voice continued tearfully.
[I accepted the offer and became the face of B-Komachi, a popular idol group. For the past three years, I have been living a life I never thought would be possible for someone like me. But even with the spotlight, the fans, and the fame, I sometimes still find myself wondering if I can ever turn this illusion of happiness and love into my truth. Can someone who has never known love learn?]
The next words came interspersed with sobs.
[But, but, then tell me? Why would I... I find an end like this? Is it real? It seems so, I researched and now I know who Hikaru Kamiki is. He is real, he exists. So, is this... really my end? I, I... Can I prevent this from happening now that I know about it? Well... Maybe someone like me... has no right to love and be loved...]
Felix admitted to himself that he felt sad for her. But then, a reflection occurred to him.
{Ai Hoshino? Why can I now hear her heart's voice too? What the hell is going on?}

In the student council office, in the late afternoon, a young girl with glasses, a slender body, short black hair, and violet eyes, 166 cm tall, drank tea with a calm expression. She then looked up, squinting her eyes, and asked the other girl sitting in front of her: "Tsubaki, what do you think?"
"Sona-kaichou, are you referring to Ai Hoshino?" asked Tsubaki.
Tsubaki was a young girl wearing glasses with long, straight black hair that went down to her knees, split bangs, and heterochromatic eyes, the left being violet and the right light brown. Besides the female school uniform of Kuoh Academy, she also wore semi-rimmed blue glasses with square lenses.
"Yes, what do you think caused us to hear her voice too?" asked Sona.
"Don't you already know the answer, Sona-kaichou?" Tsubaki rolled her eyes at her and then said, adjusting her glasses tactfully, "Obviously, she became the protagonist of her own story. She must have given up on having some kind of relationship with the boy named Hikaru Kamiki and, therefore, nipped the problem in the bud, thus changing her own future."
"Yes, I thought so too," nodded Sona. She just wanted to confirm if her queen had the same thought as her and added: "Another thing I noticed is that boy who spoke afterward... I already know which class he is in, I want to find out who he is, since I want to see him personally, I think he might be someone worth inviting to my Peerage."
"It's worth a try," agreed Tsubaki. If Sona hadn't mentioned it, she herself would like to suggest.
As for the other three voices... They seemed too problematic. Especially this Issei Hyoudou guy.
"Okay, I also want to see Ai Hoshino," said Sona, thoughtfully. "She may have some hidden talent that is worth inviting as well."

In the Occult Research Club, a similar conversation took place between Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima.
"As for the boy just now, he must definitely be the student Light Yagami," said Akeno with a seductive and charming voice, almost as if she was whispering a forbidden secret: "Fufufu~ Did you see the expression on Sona-sama and Tsubaki? I believe the two are like us two."
"I thought so too," agreed Rias. She then added, "That's why we need to hurry up and invite Light Yagami to be part of my Peerage first."
As a demon with sharp and intelligent senses, how could they not pay attention to this and having seen their expressions change? Even other girls from Sona's Peerage had a reaction; it would be strange to think that they did not hear it too.
"Ara ara, Rias-kaichou, you seem really interested in this boy. Look at you now, fufufu~" Akeno laughed as she spoke, her voice overflowing with charm and a touch of malice. She was an extremely seductive woman, and this was evident in the way she spoke, with a confidence that seemed to envelop and attract anyone who listened to her. Her tone was soft but firm, and her words were carefully chosen, each one loaded with a subtext that only those who knew her well could fully understand.
"Akeno!" Rias pretended to be angry.
"Okay, okay, don't get angry, Rias-kaichou~" Akeno laughed again and got up.

Felix paused, almost leaving his room, when a girl stopped him.
[Light Yagami, I want you to die!]
[... Why did I curse the top student in the class, Light Yagami? Well, it doesn't matter, I'm very happy, finally the great me got a girlfriend! Hahaha, she is so beautiful, cute, and... Swallow, she has huge breasts! Yes, big breasts, big and fabulous breasts and soon the great me will be able to do all kinds of things with those breasts, hehehe... Damn, I started drooling~~]
Felix, who heard this, managed to stay stoic, but the girl in front of him did not.
"Classmate Kotegawa Yui, do you need anything from me?" Felix asked, taking her out of her reverie.
"Ahh, err... (about the voices and your voice that I...) %#% $* # ¨# ... Well, it's kind of like that, I just wanted to thank you again for yesterday. I think I didn't thank you properly," Kotegawa Yui said, with a slightly flushed face.
Realizing that when she tried to speak and ask about the voices in her head, she was censored in some way and only made it seem a bit silly, she stopped forcing it. Kotegawa Yui thought he might know something...
But for some reason, she couldn't tell Light Yagami what she heard from his heart.
"You're welcome," Felix replied. His expression was calm, even a bit kind.
"So that's it. See you later, Light Yagami," Kotegawa Yui said, almost turning around with the intention of leaving.
"Okay, see you later," Felix waved at her in farewell. "By the way, next time you talk to me, you can just call me Light."
"R-Right, you can do the same with me too..." Realizing the slip of the tongue and the misinterpreted form of what she said, Kotegawa Yui corrected herself: "I mean, you can just call me Kategawa."
"Mm, I will," Felix laughed a little and smiled.
{Now, why did my classmate and protagonist, Issei Hyoudou, curse me? Moreover, the girlfriend he says he got must be the Fallen Angel, Raynare. Tsk, tsk, so foolish, she only wanted to date him just to have the chance to kill him, since he contains the Sacred Gear of the Welsh Dragon Ddraig, and was a threat to the Abrahamic Pantheon and, consequently, the Fallen Angels as well. His action is no different from serving himself on a silver platter and still smiling happily in the process.}
Felix paused.
{Well, this is also the perfect plot for, after being left on the ground at death's door, he accidentally invokes a crimson-haired demon, Rias Gremory, who reincarnates him as a demon to be her subordinate. After being converted into a demon, his goal is to become a high-level demon and be the king of a harem full of women and... Mostly breasts, his dream is to sleep in a sea of breasts. It's no wonder that he later got the nickname Breast Dragon Emperor.}
Kotegawa Yui, who had just left, almost tripped over her own foot. She did not expect Light's classmate to be so perverted for breasts and even wanted to open a harem... She was also surprised by the fact of talking about the existence of the supernatural, of course. But, since yesterday when she started hearing these voices and, even now, when she tried to reveal it to Felix, but something stopped her, she was less skeptical and more open-minded.
'Breast Dragon Emperor, huh... To think that this perverted boy would have such an embarrassing nickname...' Kotegawa Yui murmured in her heart.
