Sona Sitri and Shinra Tsubaki sat on a sofa facing Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima.
"So something like that happened while I wasn't paying attention," Sona Sitri murmured, narrowing her eyes as she pondered.
Shinra Tsubaki adjusted her glasses, looking serious yet still elegant.
"Ara~ ara~ ufufu~." Akeno chuckled softly, her voice gentle and carrying a magical allure that could tickle the heart of any man who heard it.
"Sona, what are you going to do? The Gremory family is going to join forces with the church."
Sona Sitri adjusted her glasses and stared straight at Rias.
"Rias, you are the younger sister of the current Devil King Lucifer. If you get involved with the church, the chances of a three-faction war will only grow."
"I know. But I can't let my family fight on their own."
Sona Sitri blinked her violet eyes and glanced around as if searching for someone.
"Where is Kiba Yuuto?"
"Yuuto is recovering after being injured by a holy sword."
"Hmm…" Sona Sitri's gaze finally landed on Issei. "Your name is Hyoudou Issei, right?"
Issei nodded.
"This is our first meeting, Student Council President Sona Sitri, Vice President Shinra Tsubaki," Issei greeted politely, bowing slightly with a friendly smile.
"Nice to meet you, Hyoudou-kun," Sona Sitri replied with a small smile.
Shinra Tsubaki nodded with a cool expression that looked impressive.
"Ahem! Don't stare at him too long, he's mine!" Rias declared while propping up her large chest.
"Hahaha, you've really changed, Rias. You were never interested in men before, but now—."
"Shut up! Anyone would change after going through the same thing I did!" Rias interrupted, her face turning red as her chest rose and fell rapidly from breathing too fast.
Sona smiled faintly.
"I understand. If I were in your position, I would change too."
Rias calmed down a little after hearing Sona's words.
"Red Dragon Emperor, you've gained a good family."
Rias smiled proudly.
"Aren't you recruiting a new family as well? His name was, if I recall—."
"Saji Genshiro," Issei cut in.
"Hm? Hyoudou-kun, you know Saji?" Sona asked, looking at Issei with curiosity.
"No, but I know a little about him," Issei explained.
Sona nodded in understanding.
"Back to the main topic. As your friend, I can't let you act alone, so the Sitri family will join this operation as well."
Rias smiled in satisfaction. "Just as I expected. Let's fight together."
Rias shook hands with Sona. They exchanged faint smiles—beautiful, yet dangerous.
Speaking of Sona Sitri, Issei was fairly interested in her. Not as an object, but as an individual.
Sona Sitri was beautiful, close to the level of a main heroine, though her chest could be described as rather unfortunate.
Shinra Tsubaki was the same. Her mature, glasses-wearing beauty was truly irresistible. Moreover, Shinra Tsubaki far surpassed Sona Sitri—especially in the chest area. And the chest area. Since it was very important, it was mentioned twice as a form of extra appreciation.
'If what Ddraig says is true, my Ultimate Skill won't work on women whose status is above sex slaves unless their feelings reach the limit first. Asia and Rias have the highest feelings for me, but they haven't reached that limit yet. I have to truly conquer their hearts before I can use my Ultimate Skill on them.'
'That's just your assumption, but I'm about 80% sure it's correct,' Ddraig interjected.
'I know. That's why I'm acting more carefully.'
Sona Sitri stood up along with Shinra Tsubaki.
"It's time. I have to get back to work."
Rias nodded gently and muttered softly, "Being a student council president really is tough."
Sona stopped and glanced at Rias.
"It does feel heavy, but I like it."
"That's just like you. See you tonight."
Sona left the Occult Research Club while waving her hand.
Without realizing it, Issei found himself spacing out as he watched Sona Sitri leave.
Issei snapped back to reality when he felt a sharp gaze from Rias.
"Ise, where are you looking?"
"Ahem! Nowhere."
