It has only been two days since our newest 'housemate' joined up, and I'm already starting to regret being such a kind host.

While Kuroka was tame enough to not warrant annoyed looks sent her way at first, I figured that things would come rougher than I had initially hoped for things to happen the moment she was allowed to move around.

This caution was still present even when Baraquiel had applied several magic-suppressant seal to her body, along with the restriction of having someone trustworthy keeping an eye on her.

Kunou was still vexed by this allowance, but didn't allow her irritation to show too much.

When the Nekoshou was out wandering around the house to either watch TV or get a snack out of the fridge, the little blonde would rush over to my position and keep close to me.

While this would seem a little hilarious at times, I refused to smile or let out any chuckles at this behavior on the outside,

knowing well enough by now that the kitsune had good reasons to still be afraid of the young woman.

Kuroka appeared to not mind, or at the very least make any fuss about it. On the contrary, she appeared to be almost acceptful of this attitude, seemingly thinking this as something that was meant to be.

I was neutral at best during these instances, but I would reserve myself a degree of uneasiness and preparation if the girl decided to do something weird or dangerous.

Both to harm us or… harm herself. I wasn't sure what was cooking in the Nekoshou's mind, but I wasn't taking chances at her being overly-gloomy and possibly depressed after handling her sister's rejection in a somewhat decent manner.

Everything was possible when nobody was looking at the Cat girl, and I wasn't willing to test Schroedinger's theory on the matter.

With my mind quite stormy because of this recent development, I found my stand at school once more 'targeted' by a new problem.

Koneko's sudden sleepover became a reason for suspicion for Rias, especially since her Rook refused to give out anything substantial about the visit at my home.

This reluctance, coupled with the suddenness of the event, were good enough worries to prompt some scrutiny.

Akeno was more than happy to oblige at her King's request.

The young woman would keep around close, trying her best to not bicker too much with Ingvild on the basis that an escalation would've easily got a negative reaction out of me.

She tackled the matter smartly, and that actually left me more concerned than before.

A 'straightforward' Akeno was scary, but one that was actually putting some heavy thinking behind each of her steps?

Every turn I had to watch my back. Not because I was aware of any plot against me, but because this sudden change of tactic swept me off from my usual control over our interactions.

And the worst part? I was quite certain she knew that it was the case. With her mannerism moderated to not 'exploit' too much my state of unbalance, she tried to appear… just a concerned classmate for her fellow schoolgirl.

It wasn't 'unusual', and she received further legitimacy on the basis that Koneko was part of the same Club as Akeno.

With this strong standing in front of me, I knew that I had to be careful, and that I had to mind all the steps I was supposed to make.

A brilliant counter was to organize something extra-curricular with the Student Council.

Bowling had been a success, and I knew that Sona wasn't going to say no if I proposed some more practices for dodgeball.

Considering how frequent her matches with Rias' peerage were going to be, the bespectacled Sitri wasn't going to refuse some more preparations for her team.

Sadly, while this proposal found complete agreement, the practice for dodgeball was set to happen by the end of the week… leaving me to handle Akeno for the days before that.

When I went to check if I could just skip school until that point, I was reminded that I had skipped school days a lot in the last few months, and that I was burning my capacity to skip again way too soon.

Gnawing and failing to get a solution to this matter, I was blessed by the fact that the young woman seemed to be 'unable' to enter the Theater Club.

Either because Rias decided to turn it in a zone that was best to avoid until Asia and Ingvild were there just to not risk any issues with Grigori, or because she just wasn't happy with the offers of entering it herself.

To be fair, Akeno did have the flair to acting. If she had the chance, she would make for a brilliant actress… but she was tied to Rias, and dropping the ORC to join another club would undermine the redhead's peerage.

...Or at least that's how I could justify it with what I knew about both girls.

With that in mind, I found myself spending even more time at the club, excusing this sudden interest in the place with the fact I had to practice for the spectacle.

Hamlet was a tough play to get through, and I had already made plans of exercising with the script with the help of some trustworthy individuals. AKA Issei and Asia.

While I trusted the blonde more since she had some experience on the topic, while her 'boyfriend' had to have learned how to act that decently from making up excuses with 'powerful people'.

Lying did have its positive effects when the lying person managed to not get caught.

These situations would also gain some amusing connotation when Ravel, Koneko, and Kunou decided to come by and see some of the sessions.

Kunou was hysterical, and within reason too. I looked absolutely ridiculous in Hamlet's dress, something that got a snort out of the usually stoic Nekoshou too.

Even my silver-haired kohai thinks I look silly in that stuff!

Oh, the horror.

"I-It's not that bad, Niichan," The kitsune tried to sound appeasing. "I mean, there were sillier outfits than yours."

But with that affirmation, you just defined my outfit silly.
