Rias and the others returned to the Gremory manor just before midnight.
"Ah, welcome back."
When Issei went to Asia's room to check on her, he found Koneko, for some reason, waiting to greet him.
"You all... I know you're worried, but you have to rest, don't you?"
Rias couldn't help but let out a wry smile. Asia's room was filled with their fellow peerage members, Irina, and Raynare.
"Tomorrow will be a full day of rest. I'll contact the school as well, so everyone, please relax and take it easy."
When Rias clapped her hands to urge everyone to disperse, they reluctantly got to their feet, heavy with reluctance.
"Buchou, can't I at least stay? I want to be there for Asia when she wakes up."
Even so, Issei persisted. As Rias was wondering what to do, Kazuki patted her shoulder.
"What's the harm, Rias? Let Issei have his way for tonight at least."
"Kazuki... Alright. Issei, do as you please."
"Thank you!"
Leaving Issei behind, they exited the room.
"Wait, Raynare."
At Rias's voice, everyone stopped.
"What is it, Rias-sama...?"
Raynare turned around, tilting her head slightly. Her form had reverted to Amano Yuma. Her innate allure was hidden, replaced by a surface purity.
Rias stood before her and bowed deeply.
"I'm late in thanking you. Thank you. For protecting Asia."
Raynare's eyes widened in shock, leaving her speechless. However,
"P-please stop, Rias-sama! Bowing to someone like me...!"
"No. You protected Asia with your very life. To think if we had lost that girl... This is only natural."
"Rias is right. Truly, thank you, Raynare."
Bowed to by Kazuki as well, Raynare was utterly flustered.
"Even Kazuki-sama...! Please, stop. At that moment, I just moved on instinct..."
"The fact that you moved on instinct is proof of how much you cared about Asia, isn't it?"
"But that's... it was because I felt guilty towards Asia..."
"Even if your actions stemmed from guilt, you protected Asia in that moment. That was something neither I nor anyone else could do. So... I am truly grateful."
Saying so, Kazuki bowed once more.
"O-okay, I understand, I understand, so please, both of you, raise your heads!!"
At the flustered Raynare's request, they lifted their heads.
"Raynare. In light of your deeds this time, I pardon your crimes. The three who suffered the most—Asia, Issei, and Kazuki—have forgiven you. Let the past be water under the bridge."
"Eh!?"
At Rias's declaration, Raynare's eyes went perfectly round.
"If you wish, I can also ask Governor Azazel to have you removed from your duty station in Kuoh Town."
"Wha—!?"
"Technically, you are in my custody, so you are free to go as you please, or to seek a position you desire. Speaking of which, wasn't serving under Governor Azazel your dream? If you wish it, I can recommend you. What will you do?"
Raynare remained stunned for a moment, but soon closed her eyes as if gathering her thoughts.
Then,
"Rias-sama, Kazuki-sama... Thank you for your exceedingly generous words... If it pleases you, I wish to remain here as I have been until now."
Surprised by the unexpected answer, Rias and Kazuki exchanged a glance.
"As you have been... Are you sure?"
"Yes. I wish to attend school as Amano Yuma, work as a maid after school, and when the need arises, fight alongside all of you as a warrior."
"I see... Very well, I shall accept your wish. Raynare—no, Yuma. You will join the Occult Research Club and henceforth act alongside us."
"Yes, Rias-sama."
"From now on, address me as 'President'."
"Yes, Buchou."
"Good. You all heard? From today, Yuma is to be treated as a member of the Occult Research Club. Understood!?"
"""Yes, Buchou!!"""
And so, the fallen angel Raynare, also known as Amano Yuma, officially became one of their comrades.
Led to a room, Kazuki Fuwa headed for the bath to wash up…
He undressed in the changing area and entered the bathroom. It was quite spacious for a guest room fixture.
As Kazuki was washing his hair in the shower area, he heard the clack of the door opening, and something large and soft pressed against his back from behind.
Kazuki knew this sensation. This was—
"Kuroka!?"
"Ufufu, correct, nya~!"
Turning around, he found a completely naked Kuroka wrapping her arms around his waist from behind, clinging to him.
"A reward for getting it right, Kazukii~!!"
Pressing her voluptuous tits against him, Kuroka began moving up and down.
Her supremely soft breasts rubbed against his back, the sensation sending shivers down his spine. Moreover, the firmness within that softness stirred Kazuki's excitement.
"Mmmfufu. Kazuki's getting big, nya~!."
Kuroka's hand, which had been around his waist, reached for Kazuki's now-erect cock, which was swelling insistently. But before her hand could touch it, his member was enveloped in a warm, wet sensation.
"Mmmph... Lick, slurp... Nnn... Slurp... Senpai, you're getting big, nya~!!!"
Somehow, Koneko had already taken position at Kazuki's crotch, taking his stiffening, erect cock into her mouth.
"Ah—!? Koneko, that's cheating, nya!"
Though Kuroka complained about being beaten to the punch, Koneko paid no mind, enthusiastically running her tongue over him.
"Nnn... Slurp, lick slurp... Nee-san was the one who jumped the gun first. Lick. With your uselessly big chest... slurp... You should just make Senpai's cock bigger... Mumble mumble."
"O-ohh... Kuroka, Koneko..."
Overwhelmed by the pleasure running up his back and through his groin, Kazuki couldn't help but let out a moan.
