I said that, but in reality there wasn't much that I needed to prepare for. Everything was depending on what type of answer Riser would give. So while in school, I was practically waiting for Sirzechs to appear. It was dumb since I knew he's probably gonna show up at night where Rias has no chance of seeing him or sensing him. But high school is boring once you already know most of what you were taught and no longer give a fuck.

Although class was boring, the other events that occurred were not as mind numbing when it was over. Akeno hugging me certainly is a highlight. Even though I don't know why she was doing it.
Wait a minute, why is she hugging me?
"Why are you hugging me?" I ask.
"I need to recharge." she said. "I haven't seen you in a few days."
Her inviting me back to the ORC was nothing outside of the ordinary. Frankly I was surprised since I was sure she would be acting a bit unusual since Riser most definitely showed up yesterday, but no, she was her usual mysterious self. Even though she's not that mysterious since I knew everything about her, and am just actively waiting for the chance to pry without getting smited.
She was definitely a little clingy though, maybe she was just acting or maybe she really was. I happened to remember that alongside my lust aura, I also happen to have a body that is a natural relaxing agent by touch. It would explain why she's hugging me if she's doing so to keep calm, though I wish not to think that. It's a little too dark for my tastes right around Season 1. But I can foresee this being a thing when she eventually caves.
"You already missed three days without me, Akeno." I said. I hear her laugh and step away soonish. There was a little longer but not enough for me to situate anything other than a budding, unusual friendship.
Yeah, that isn't gonna last long. Can't forget about that ass of hers, when i'm done with Riser i'm coming for her next.
She must see something in my eyes, since the moment I choose to pay attention again she is staring at me while licking her finger. Instantly I try my damndest to keep a neutral glance at the many things I was imagining. My face morphs into a confused facade, not quite what I was looking for but it would do.
Wow, I must really be backed up if a glance from her is enough to nearly send me raging. I should look for a client before preparing for Sirzechs tonight. Get all this…thing out of my system. The last thing I want to be thinking about while staring down a Demon King is railing Akeno from behind.
The mere thought nearly gives way into imagination, but I'm interrupted by Koneko shifting in her seat and suddenly standing right in front of me. Mockingly blocking Akeno's way towards me.
"Stay away from my student." Koneko says. "Pervert."
"Student?"
Akeno looked confused, I guess Koneko didn't seem to mention it to her. She eyes me, this time not in playful flirting, but genuine puzzlement. I guess it's time for me to step in.
"Long story short, I was looking for a Gym on my way home the other day and I ended up stumbling across Koneko's Gym. She let me join after some snacks." I said.
Of course the main question of why I needed the Gym in the first place wasn't something I was gonna answer aloud anytime soon. Akeno didn't seem like she wanted to pry anyways, she sorta looked like she was a bit glad. Which certainly would be the case if she guessed why I really needed it.
"By the way." Koneko started. "Kusora, twenty push-ups. I saw the way you were looking at her."
Koneko narrowed her eyes in a way that left no room for questioning. It seems like training did not extend to only the Gym. I thought I hid my thoughts better, but then again, her Senjutsu is canonically bullshit in the light novel.
I gave a few sighs and looks hoping for her look to change but she didn't relent. In silence, I placed my books onto the empty green sofa and got onto the floor. In hindsight, I probably deserved the push-ups for simping. But I believe in Akeno supremacy, no one can fault me as a prostitute.
Koneko ended up sitting on me while I did my push-ups. Despite what the anime believed, she actually felt lighter than I imagined. Either that, or she is purposely making herself light enough for a human to believe, because there's no way in hell she can toss whole structures without having a strong and solid core.
I can hear Akeno laughing as she took a seat. "You look good down there." she teased.
"What are you imagining?" I teased back.
Akeno chooses then to remain silent, but I can't see her because Koneko also chose that moment to put her legs in front of my face. She didn't say anything, but her message of not staring was conveyed pretty clearly.
"We're not gonna be here for a few days." Koneko says. "Make sure you don't slack off."
Oh, so their training before the Rating Game is happening that soon? So Riser gave them the same ten days as I would imagine. I have roughly that amount of time to annul the Marriage contract, cause I have a feeling that Issei isn't gonna be up to the task this time with Asia missing.
Still, the fact that Koneko felt that she needed to let me know either shows she takes training seriously or that she's considering me a friend. Probably both, else I wouldn't be allowed in her gym in the first place. No doubt she uses Senjutsu in that gym where she feels like she can't hurt anybody, so she must've known that I was coming from the moment I stepped in the driveway.
I was feeling a bit brave, emboldened by the fact I was on push-up nineteen now. But I wanted to try my hand at saying something as well.
"I'll text you everyday." I said.
"You don't have to." she said. "I'll probably ignore it."
