"DXD: Infinite Loot System"Chapter 277: Remember Your Oath
Kuoh Academy's student council room was awash with morning sunlight as Tenra led Kunou inside, her steps uncertain but determined. Ravel, Mira, and Koneko—cradling her ever-present black cat—trailed behind, forming a protective little entourage.
"Sona, I've got to trouble you again," Tenra said, flashing a wry smile at the council president.
Sona Sitri's composure cracked. "How many times is this now, Tenra?"
Her tone was sharp, but beneath it lay weary resignation. Every few weeks, Tenra seemed to appear with another new girl in tow. This time, he'd even managed to bring the Nine-Tailed Princess of Kyoto's youkai to their school.
"A lot happened in Kyoto. I'm sure you've heard bits and pieces from Yura and the others," Tenra said. "I'll fill you in later, but for now—Kunou will be living with us. I wanted to get her enrolled."
Sona massaged her temples. "Fine. Put her in Ravel, Koneko, and Mira's class."
She didn't bother to hide her exasperation, but she didn't refuse. Turning to her Queen, she called, "Tsubaki, handle the paperwork, please."
"Yes, Sona-sama." Shinra Tsubaki's efficiency was legendary. Within minutes, Kunou's enrollment was complete, and she was handed a crisp new school uniform. Kunou stared at the outfit as if it were a sacred relic, her cheeks blooming with red.
"Class is starting soon. Kunou, go with Ravel and the others," Tenra said, gently ruffling her hair. Then, to the girls: "Ravel, Koneko, Mira—Kunou's never attended school before. I'm counting on you to look after her."
Mira nodded solemnly, Koneko gave a silent thumbs-up, and Ravel—ever the brat—looped her arm through Kunou's and grumbled, "Yeah, yeah, we know. Onii-sama, you're so naggy."
Tenra blinked, half amused, half incredulous.
She really called me naggy? This little devil…
"Come on, little fox. I'll show you to our classroom," Ravel said.
"Let go of her, Fried Chicken Princess. Kunou can walk with us," Koneko deadpanned.
"You hateful cat! Stop calling me that!"
"Ravel-chan, Koneko-chan, let's all get along, okay?" Kunou pleaded, caught between the two.
"Don't worry, I get along great with this Fried Chicken Princess," Koneko replied, unfazed.
Ravel groaned. "Hateful, hateful, hateful! Kunou, just listen—this cat is the worst!"
Their bickering trailed off as the girls left the office, their voices echoing down the hallway. Tenra could only shake his head. Ravel and Koneko—sworn rivals, best friends, and a perpetual source of chaos. Thankfully, with Kunou now in the mix, maybe things would settle down.
His gaze shifted back to Sona, and a sly smile tugged at his lips. Kunou's enrollment was done; now it was time for more private business.
"Ahem. Tsubaki-san, could I have a moment alone with Sona?" Tenra asked, clearing his throat.
Tsubaki's cool eyes flickered with knowing light, but she bowed politely and exited without comment.
The room shrank, leaving only Tenra and Sona in the silence. Tenra sauntered around the desk, scooped Sona up, and settled himself into the president's chair with her perched in his lap.
"Could you at least come up with a better excuse?" Sona grumbled, struggling half-heartedly before surrendering.
Tenra grinned. "Why bother? Tsubaki and the others are your closest confidantes. Even if you haven't said a word, they've probably known about us for ages."
Sona's face froze, then flushed with two neat streaks of red. She knew he was right—she'd just never wanted to admit it.
If only he hadn't barged into her life and thrown everything into chaos…
Irritation flared, and Sona pinched a soft spot on Tenra's waist.
"Ow, ow, ow—Sona, when did you pick up Rias's tricks?"
