But inexplicably shy.
Blinked; averted bashfully.
"Stay clear—handsome only. No deception."
Mahiru clenched pink fists; self-warned.
Mm—adorable.
Kaiser nodded inwardly; seated, still observing Mahiru.
Meanwhile.
Other girls' gazes never left Kaiser.
"??"
Hiratsuka mouth twitched.
Feels shark in pool.
Recalling first meeting; muttered. "This kid—major pervert?"

"School cafeteria—high probability."
Mahiru expressionless. "Kaiser—no romance interest. Leave?"
"No no—misunderstanding."
Kaiser frank. "Seem need help."
"Kaiser—self-assuming bad habit."
"Really?"
Kaiser smiled; gazed amber-brown eyes. "But to me…"
"Your eyes weeping."
"…"
Mahiru froze.
He saw through?
Silent moment; softly. "No… need help."
"But thanks concern."
"Know disbelieve now—but truly need—summon me."
Kaiser smiled; placed devil contract before her.
"Any issue—solve."
Mahiru instinctively took parchment; glanced puzzled. "Devil summoning…"

"Y-You wish."
Rias breathing heavy; soft moan.
Inwardly scolded self.
Too weak.
"Hahaha—accept sincere apology."
Afternoon Vermouth cover—time free.
"Hmph—not so… mmm…"
"Relax—gift: soon Ultimate-Class breakthrough."
Rias mind blanked—missed words.
Inner magic surged wave-like.
Outside door.
Himejima Akeno paused.

Soon.
Skin pinkened.
"Phew…"
Akeno inhaled deeply; left casually.
"Tch—Akeno left."
Kaiser regretful.
"You… mmm… aiming Akeno too?"
