"Himejima, huh." Sirzechs thought out loud. We were now back in the Gremory Territory in the underworld. After putting Shirone to bed and concluding that everyone else had gone to sleep, Rias, Sirzechs, and I sat in the living room as I told them what had happened earlier. "And he had one of the missing students under his influence?"

"Apparently. And that girl's lion was one not to be trifled with." I said. "I could've easily gotten rid of it with no problem, but I didn't want to cause any more commotion, nya."

"Had you at least try to get involved with the girl ?" Rias asked me.

"Yeah, but she kept ordering that lion around every time I tried to get close to her. She didn't even answer any of my questions." I replied. "It looked like she was under some kind of mind control."

"What else did this Himejima fellow tell you before leaving?" Sirzechs asked next.

"Just say "Hi" to Akeno for him, that's all."

"I see." Sirzechs would get up from his seat before walking towards the hallway. "Akihabara is within one of our territories, so I'll have some of my servants do some scoping around where the battle took place along with whatever events that happen prior to. For now, let's keep this under wraps from the others. Especially Akeno. I don't want her to think that she was a part of it due to having the same name as them." With that said, he left the living room going down the long hallway.

"You should head to bed too," Rias said. "It's been a long day for you as well."

"Eh, I'll be fine, nya." I said while standing myself up. "I'm gonna take a bath first. See ya in the morning." I told her while leaving the living room.

I've been walking down the halls of the castle for a while now. In the human world, it should be past midnight, so everyone has made it to bed by now…. At least some have.

"You know I can sense you right? No need to continue to follow me." I told the person that's been following me. I turned around to see Akeno walk out from behind a pillar. "So, how much did you hear, nya?"

"...everything…" she said. "...Look, I'm sorry for what… those people has done to–"

"Look, don't worry about it. You don't have to consider yourself to be a part of that family." I told her. "Plus, if it had to take nearly an entire elite group of devils to catch me, I doubt some overgrown wild feline could even take me down." Akeno looks at me before smiling. "That's very funny coming from a domesticated house cat."

"Watch it now. I'm not afraid to eat up a little birdy, nya."

"I could also say the same, ufufu."

"Alright everyone, that should do for today's meeting." Rias said to everyone. All of the current peerage members are sitting in the clubroom for our daily club meeting before doing our devil jobs. "And in other news, today is both Isaiah's and Tosca's debut day." This caught the attention of the two.

"Already soo soon?!" Tosca exclaimed.

"I mean it has been about a month since we've started handing out flyers, but even so.." Isaiah said.

"Don't worry. It was like the same thing with Shirone." Rias said. "One of y'all will just be taking one of mine or Akeno's old clients and start forming contracts from there. Afterwards, you will soon be able to get clients for yourselves as well."

"Plus, you'll be putting a lot of weight off on our shoulders," Akeno followed up.

"You sure that's your only cause of shoulder pain?" I asked her, making a groping motion with my hands.

"Hmm… maybe you're right. Maybe I should hold back from baking any more cakes for a while."

"Please tell me that's a joke." I've already gave my piece to Shirone, I don't want to wait a while just for another piece. Rias cleared her throat before continuing onward.

"Well, with all that said, Tosca, Isaiah, please stand in the middle of the circle for me," she asked them as she would summon a magic circle on the clubroom ground. Following their master's command, they stand in the middle of the circle, synchronizing their demonic magic with it. Akeno would look at her tablet to see if there were any contracts available.

"Hmm.. ah, here's one. It's one of Rias's customers. They're a business lady that usually come home late from their job. The job is mainly helping her around the place and making sure she's well fed. Should be a simple job for the both of you."

"Ah, Ms. Aoizawa… at times she can be a mess… just make sure that she doesn't offer you anything to drink. Remember, we're still too young to do that," Rias said. "But make sure to get the contract."

""Yes Ma'am!"" They said before being transported. After they teleported, the circle began to glow a dark shade of purple. Looks like someone is trying to summon me. Akeno looked at her device to see where it was coming from.

"Oh, it's from the same family from last time," she said.

"The Hyoudous?" I asked her.

"Seems like you have become their favorite," Rias said.

"I'm the only one they only summoned," I reminded her.

"Well anyways, it looks like they'll need someone to look after their son for tonight. Apparently they both have to work later than usual," Akeno explained.

"Well that seems simple enough," I would hop off my seat before making my way to the middle of the circle. "Shirone, I'll be back later on tonight."

"Yes! Please be safe, nya!" Shirone screamed out before I vanished within the light.
