“Then, how about Koneko-chan makes a promise with me?”
Feeling the soft texture, Shoyo continued to gently stroke Koneko’s silky hair as he spoke.
“A promise?” Koneko tilted her head, looking up at him.
“Yeah, a promise… The next time you see Kuroka, properly tell her how dissatisfied you are with her.”
“Of course, if she tries to take you away, all you need to do is call out to me in your heart.”
“As long as that call comes from the bottom of your heart, I’ll definitely hear you and come.”
“…Okay…” A glimmer appeared in Koneko’s eyes. Senpai… is he worried about me? This feeling… it’s been so long since I’ve felt something like this.
Shoyo Senpai… he really is a very kind person, Koneko thought. Such cursed kindness… But still, Shoyo is just an ordinary person. Hmm, if you were some rough idiot, I wouldn't bother with you, even if you were the type like Kiba, who could turn into a girl!
“Yeah, just call for me when the time comes. I won’t let my Koneko-chan be taken away by her sister,” Shoyo said with a confident smile. He had the strength to back those words.
Right now, he could activate three avatars simultaneously, even in a normal state. His regular choices were [Narasimha the Man-Lion], [Buddha], and [Vamana the Dwarf].
Narasimha allowed him to hear the cries of others, while Buddha and Vamana provided both defense and a swift escape route when needed.
“I… I believe in Senpai.”
Koneko nodded lightly. Senpai’s hand… it’s really warm, she thought.

What followed was a time of studying, not schoolwork, but mastering control over three avatars at once.
He was building a self-operating internal system that would act even while he was unconscious, ensuring events like Serafall exploiting his vulnerability wouldn’t happen again.
The workload was enormous. By the time school ended, Shoyo had only completed the most basic framework of the system.
If an Ultimate-class devil heard about this, they’d be furious!
To complete such a system in one day would typically require Maou-level power!
“He really is as unmoving as a great Buddha…” Aika Kiryu looked at Shoyo speechlessly. He had remained like that all afternoon. Even the teacher, aware of Shoyo’s “special circumstances,” kept raising his eyebrows to the point they were almost gone.
“Ding-dong-dang-dong~”
As the final bell rang, Shoyo opened his eyes and walked toward the school gate.
He hadn’t forgotten that today, he was supposed to handle a certain fallen angel in Issei’s place.
“Oh, right… that matter.”
Shoyo took out his phone.
Beep… Beep…
“Hello, this is Sona Sitri.”
A clear, cold voice answered the call. Shoyo had dialed Sona Sitri’s number.
“President, this is Shoyo. I’m sorry, but since I only awakened my powers yesterday, I might need some time to fully adjust. So, the student council work, ”
“I understand. Don’t worry. I’ll leave it to Tsubaki.”
Standing beside her, Tsubaki's lips twitched slightly. President, now that you have a man, you’ve forgotten your best friend!
“No, that’s not what I meant,” Shoyo said with a smile.
“…Not what you meant? Then what did you mean?” Sona asked, puzzled. Wasn’t he calling to excuse himself?
“What I meant was, I’ve already sent today’s completed tasks to your email. It’ll probably be like this going forward. I’ll need more time to study magic.”
This amount of work was nothing to him. The reason he had drawn things out before was simply to spend more time by Sona’s side, hoping his system would awaken sooner that way.
“Huh?! Already finished?! Shoyo-kun, you never cease to amaze me…”
Sona quickly checked her email, and sure enough, there it was.
“I know what Shoyo-kun said… but I also have something I want to say.”
Sona hesitated. She had only learned this information earlier that afternoon.
“Pr… Sona? What is it?”
Shoyo deliberately switched how he addressed her, from “President” to “Sona.”
He wouldn’t make the same mistake Issei Hyoudou did in the original story. Issei’s refusal to call Rias by her name caused her to give him the cold shoulder for a while.
Moreover, Sona’s willingness to trade her future with Ajuka was worthy of Shoyo’s respect.
On the other end, hearing the way Shoyo addressed her, Sona blushed slightly.
“Shoyo-kun… my parents want you to visit our home… sometime during the summer break… they’re always in such a rush…”
Under Shinra Tsubaki’s stunned gaze, Sona showed a bashful side she had never revealed before.
Thump… Thump… Thump…
Even Sona could hear her heartbeat as she spoke.
“Alright… no problem. I’ll be in your care then.”
Shoyo’s voice was calm and soothing, settling Sona’s racing heart. She had truly feared he might refuse.
After chatting a little longer, the two hung up.
Tsubaki stood beside her, frozen. Today, she had seen a side of the President she’d never seen before, girlish, shy, and vulnerable.
Sure, Shoyo-kun was impressive… but could someone please acknowledge that I’m still standing here?!

Beep beep beep~
Hanging up the call, Shoyo walked toward the agreed meeting place with Amano Yuuma.
In front of the Hachiko statue stood a girl radiating a pure and innocent aura, looking slightly uneasy. A polite smile played on her lips, though the way they were pursed hinted at nervousness.
Her delicate hands were pale like white jade, glowing slightly in the setting sun. Dressed in a classic JK sailor uniform, she stood bathed in twilight, her appearance as graceful as her name, Amano Yuuma.
But Shoyo knew the truth.
Amano Yuuma was just an alias. That innocent air? An act.
In reality, she was the very definition of a pervert.
To be blunt: she was a pervert. To put it kindly: she had an overwhelming obsession.
She noticed Shoyo watching her and quickly averted her gaze, but not before he caught a flash of intense interest in her eyes.
Did she investigate me beforehand? …Makes sense. If she investigated Issei, she’d look into me too.
“Hm?”
As Shoyo looked at her, a golden exclamation mark appeared above her head.

“Yare yare… I didn’t think you’d be this valuable,” Shoyo muttered with a smirk.
So she’s a valuable, slightly deranged fallen angel, huh?
