Sona touched Saji's hand, gently stroking it.
"I didn't want you to risk your life, even if it was to protect me. If you had died there, I might not have recovered. No, even if I did, I don't know if I could have continued living as before..."
"S-Sorry... It's like my body moved on its own... I just had to protect you, no matter what..."
"You survived today, but we don't know what will happen next time. Be more careful from now on."
"Y-Yes..."
Hmm... I feel like this is turning into half a lecture...
Rias is also holding her hand to her forehead...
Ultimately, what is Sona's answer?
Saji asked, "S-So, President... What about... your answer...?"
Sona froze for a moment at the question. She stared intently into Saji's eyes—then turned away!
She turned around and started walking away!?
Eh, EHHHHHHH!?
Sona-san!? What about your answer!?
Are you really going to leave it unanswered!?
"P-President!?" Even Saji panicked and called out to Sona! Of course, coming this far and getting no answer would be incredibly unsatisfying!
Please, Sona! Please, just answer something! Not just Saji, but Rias and I will be left hanging too!
Then, after a few steps, Sona stopped. And turning swiftly to Saji, with the cutest smile I'd ever seen—
"First, stop calling me 'President' in private. Are you going to call me 'President' when we go out together? Separating public and private life is also a point of a charming man, you know?"
"...Th-That's... C-Could it be...?" Saji squeezed out the words.
Sona, still smiling, nodded once. "I look forward to working with you, both publicly and privately, Saji."
A brief silence followed.
Seconds later, as they remained frozen in that position—
"Y-YES...! YESSSSSS! Is it really okay!? Presi—no! Sona-san!" Saji pumped his fist!
Sona also nodded, her cheeks flushed!
He did it... He actually did it!
Ah—my heart can't take this! Sona dragged it out so much!
No, but it's a celebration!
Rias said with a smile, "Fufufu, I've never seen Sona make a face like that before."
"Really?"
"Yes. As I said before, Sona showed absolutely no interest in these kinds of things. But it's good. It's really good."
Hmm, we've had some crazy events today, but it's nice to have a celebratory one like this!
Good job, Saji! Congratulations, really! For now, go on a date next holiday! And tell me all about it then!
...I sound like Old Man Morris...
"...Now it's my turn to try my best," Rias murmured with serious eyes, even as she celebrated her childhood friend.
Our eyes met for a moment, and her cheeks flushed as she quickly looked away... What was that about?
After this, Rias and I headed to help with the town's reconstruction. Saji, whom we met during the work, reported that his confession was successful. However... as soon as he told me, he immediately fell into an unconscious sleep. It couldn't be helped, given his injuries from Grendel and Walburga, and pushing himself to use his Balance Breaker for the first time.
The confession is done, so rest well for now, Saji!
After finishing our help with the town's reconstruction, we returned home for the time being, but Rias, Sona, and I went to the Upper Echelons of the Underworld after getting ready. Sairaorg-san and Siegvarla-san were also there, and as those involved in the recent commotion, we had to explain everything. This is also the job of an Ultimate-Class Devil—a "King."
We explained the strengths and objectives of Rizevim, the Evil Dragons, the captured traitorous magicians, Euclid, and then Azazel and his servants, to the best of our knowledge. Even the Upper Echelons seemed to be terrified of my clones. After all, the enemy can mass-produce Maou-class beings. Anyone would be scared hearing that.
Well, in any case, after we finished talking to the Upper Echelons, we finally returned home. We had a slightly late dinner compared to everyone else, and now it was bath time.
"Ugh... I'm really tired..."
I was in the built-in sauna of the Hyoudou family's underground grand bathhouse. My plan was to sweat it all out in the sauna, then jump into a cold bath! After that, I'd drink some fruit milk after my bath! I wanted to end the day feeling refreshed!
Rizevim and his crew have given us more things to do, but I won't do them today! I'll do them tomorrow! I don't want to work anymore today!
I sat in the sauna for about ten minutes, spacing out. Sweat was flowing nicely from all over my body. Just as I thought about getting out, the sauna door opened—
"Oh, Issei, isn't it?"
Rias entered! Stark naked, just as she was born, wrapped in only a bath towel!
What should I do? I don't want to leave anymore!
Rias sat down next to me.
"Are you just starting, Rias?"
"Yes, I was just talking with Sona until a moment ago. You know, about Saji-kun." Rias said cheerfully with a wink.
Ah, I see. Reporting to her childhood friend, huh... Come to think of it, Rias also told Sona about our date. They really are close.
Normally, she's the school's big sister. In the devil world, she's an Ultimate-Class Devil and the next head of a prestigious family. Yet, in everyday life, she's just a girl her age. Yes, they're both cute!
Rias crossed her legs, elegantly shaking her wet hair. The moment she crossed her legs was so alluring I couldn't help but look! And... Rias's breasts swayed with her breathing. I... I sucked those breasts, didn't I...?
No, no, no. If I remember that, I might get too "energetic."
"It's been a while since it was just the two of us."
"Hm? Well, I guess so."
The last time Rias and I were alone was... when we took a bath together before the Rating Game with the Bael peerage, and our date after the game.
Rias leaned closer and took my hand—placing it on her chest.
"Issei... do you feel your heart race when you're with me? When I'm alone with you, my heart flutters this much."
Rias's heartbeat transmitted through my hand. Her pulse was clearly fast and strong. Rias brought her face closer, her eyes moist.
"When you sucked my breasts that time... a heat surged deep inside my body... If you do that so intensely... I won't be able to hold back."
Rias straddled my lap and hugged me. Her plump skin, her breasts pressed against my body. Her soft skin was in close contact with my arms, chest, stomach, and legs. The sweet, feminine scent from her beautiful crimson hair threatened to break my reason.
Rias wore a sultry expression.
"Issei, do you love me? I love you so much. To you, I can dedicate my everything. My heart and body—"
So—
"Just push me down like this... I don't mind whatever you do to me..."
Moist eyes, sweet breath, a quickening heartbeat.
The moment I heard those words—I pushed Rias down.
In the sauna room. I was on all fours above Rias.
I stroked Rias's head and said, "I like you too, Rias... I like the dignified Rias, and I like the cute Rias you are now. ...But, if we go on like this, I'll be taking your first time, and..."
"I'd be happy if I could give my first time to Issei."
"I'm glad you say that. But... this is a sauna room, you know?"
If we did it here, it would be pretty intense... Hugging while drenched in sweat, it feels a bit too wild for a first time... No, well, that's also charming in its own way, I guess...
Rias chuckled and gently placed her hand on my cheek. "Yes, it's fine. Will you make love to me here?"
Ah... she's okay with it.
S-So, then...
I leaned my face close to Rias and was about to kiss her—
It was at that moment.
"Ah..."
"Ah...?"
A third person's voice suddenly echoed!
Rias and I cautiously turned our heads towards the sound.
There stood—
"R-Rias-san!? Issei-kun!? Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you doing!?"
A silver-haired woman—Rossweisse... no, Rose had entered!
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What!?
What terrible timing to walk in!? Didn't she go to take a bath before us!? More importantly, she saw our situation clearly!? What Rose saw was me pushing Rias down!
Rias and I frantically waved our hands!
"Th-Th-Th-Th-This is! We're about to... you know?"
"Y-Yes! Th-That's right! This is about to... you know?"
"That doesn't explain anything! What do you mean, 'you know'!? You two were planning to do something perverted, weren't you!?"
D-D-D-D-DIALECTTTTTTTT!! Her dialect is coming out! She's so flustered her dialect is showing!
"Issei... My first time... My first time... Ugh!"
Ah, Rias is on the verge of tears!? She's tearing up because someone interrupted a good mood just when things were about to get good! For some reason, the current Rias looks like Asia!
"H-Hey, let's both calm down! Okay!? Okay!? Come on, you two, take deep breaths! Inhale—exhale—! Inhale—exhale—!"
Both of them followed my lead and took deep breaths. This is a strange time for it, but both Rias's and Rose's breasts were swaying! What a sight!
