Another half a month passed. During this time, Inaba Tsukiyo's leisurely daily life continued.
Usually, apart from dealing with Tachibana Koneko and Himejima Akeno's training sessions, the rest of the time was spent strolling around Kuoh Town with the two Little Lolis, Mikazuki Munechika and the Heavenly Father.
On rest days, Tachibana Koneko would join their group, taking them to some delicious restaurants in Kuoh Town. Sometimes they would even participate in eating contests.
Inaba Tsukiyo wasn't particularly interested in eating contests. Mikazuki Munechika, due to her lady-like persona, didn't participate with Tachibana Koneko either.
The one who participated with Tachibana Koneko was the Heavenly Father.
Ever since the Heavenly Father fought Himejima Akeno last time, she had become a member of the household.
However, the Heavenly Father wasn't as active as Mikazuki Munechika. She was like a stoic girl similar to Tachibana Koneko. Usually, when no one gave her orders, she could stand in one spot all day.
Originally only obeying Inaba Tsukiyo's commands, the Heavenly Father, through interacting with Mikazuki Munechika, unconsciously began to act together with Munechika, doing strange things together.
For example, Mikazuki Munechika had the Heavenly Father take off her armor and put on a cute maid outfit, making her the maid of the house.
(Mikazuki Munechika: By the way, after taking off that suit of armor, the Heavenly Father wasn't wearing any clothes underneath. Why? Do I need to explain? Can't you imagine?)
However, the Heavenly Father didn't have a talent for being a maid. Usually, she just followed Mikazuki Munechika's lead. Though recently, the number of times the Heavenly Father had pinned Mikazuki Munechika to the ground and rubbed her face in it had been increasing.
Tachibana Koneko and the Heavenly Father participating in eating contests together was a huge blow to the organizers.
If the organizers had limits on ingredients, it might be okay. If not, then the Heavenly Father and Tachibana Koneko could keep eating like that forever.
Tachibana Koneko simply had a big appetite. The Heavenly Father, on the other hand, didn't understand such things. Food entering her body would automatically be digested into beneficial nutrients, while other substances would be stored.
Over this half month, Inaba Tsukiyo had seen more than one eating contest organizer wear an utterly devastated expression upon hearing the total bill.
Apart from Tachibana Koneko, Himejima Akeno also visited very frequently.
This person always chose times when Tachibana Koneko wasn't around, or used various excuses to send her away, then used the pretense of substituting for her to serve Inaba Tsukiyo.
Inaba Tsukiyo clearly knew what Himejima Akeno wanted to do, but she didn't pay it too much mind. It was just training, after all.
And so, one evening, while Tachibana Koneko was acting spoiled with Inaba Tsukiyo, she mentioned that Rias wanted to meet her.
"Hmm? Your club president is finally planning to invite me over?"
Sitting on the single sofa, Inaba Tsukiyo reached out and stroked the little head of Tachibana Koneko, who was leaning against her. Her fingers gently ran through the beautiful silver hair.
Sliding down to the slightly reddened ears, her fingers lightly scratched the ear area. The unusual sensation caused Tachibana Koneko's petite body to tremble continuously.
Gently stroking Tachibana Koneko's cheek, recently Koneko's cat-like attributes had become so pronounced that Inaba Tsukiyo often treated her like a little kitten.
"Mhm."
Tachibana Koneko cutely nodded, wrapping her arms around Inaba Tsukiyo's body, finding a comfortable position and closing her eyes.
"Tch!"
"..."
Mikazuki Munechika, who was playing a game with the Heavenly Father, saw this scene and pouted in displeasure.
The Heavenly Father, however, said nothing, only a bewildered expression flashed in her dull eyes. She didn't understand what was going on with this feeling in her heart.
The Heavenly Father's actions were noticed by Inaba Tsukiyo. Recently, the Heavenly Father had been acting human-like from time to time.
This feeling was like a robot gaining human emotions, which made Inaba Tsukiyo very curious. Many movies depict what robots would do after gaining human emotions.
As the Heavenly Father's creator, and arguably her mother, Inaba Tsukiyo had a strange feeling in her heart.
(Victorica: Daughter? Hmm? Should I make you call me Daddy? Or Mommy?)
At Rias's invitation, Inaba Tsukiyo arrived at the entrance of Kuoh Academy after her morning classes on the second day.
It had been some time since she last came to Kuoh Academy. The difference was that last time she came through Imaginary Space, but this time she came to the academy in person.
Inaba Tsukiyo's appearance attracted countless people's attention.
Besides those Boy Students whose hormones were overactive, even the girls were drawn to Inaba Tsukiyo.
"Who is she? Why is she at the academy?"
"So cute! She's as cute as Tachibana Koneko!"
"She seems to be wearing a miko outfit? Is she a miko? But is a miko outfit supposed to look like this?"
Originally, to avoid too much commotion, Inaba Tsukiyo had Mikazuki Munechika and the Heavenly Father wait in Imaginary Space while she came to Kuoh Academy alone.
However, the reality was different from what she imagined. Even by herself, she seemed to have caused a great stir.
Inaba Tsukiyo ignored the gazes of these people and, after entering the academy, walked towards the place Tachibana Koneko had mentioned.
"Please wait a moment, fellow student."
Just as Inaba Tsukiyo was bathed in the gazes of numerous students, a slightly cold voice came.
With the appearance of this voice, the surrounding comments about Inaba Tsukiyo also disappeared.
Inaba Tsukiyo recognized this voice. It belonged to the girl who appeared last time she visited the school, when she handed over photos of the three Boy Students reading adult magazines behind the school to the Student Council.
Just like before, this girl exuded a serious aura. Although she said nothing, her imposing presence made the surrounding temperature feel like it had dropped significantly.
"I am Sona Sitri, the Student Council President of Kuoh Academy."
The girl politely bowed slightly to Inaba Tsukiyo, and then asked, without losing her composure:
"Without permission, outsiders are forbidden from entering the school. Could you please tell me the purpose of your visit?"
"Purpose? Someone invited me, so I came."
Inaba Tsukiyo was not affected by Sona Sitri's aura. A faint smile remained on her face as she replied.
Inaba Tsukiyo's answer caused Sona Sitri's brow to furrow slightly. Just as she was about to continue questioning, a petite figure scurried over to Inaba Tsukiyo's side.
"Sona-senpai…"
Tachibana Koneko stood beside Inaba Tsukiyo, her gaze fixed on Sona Sitri.
"She was invited by the President to visit the Occult Research Club. She's not suspicious."
"Invited… Rias?"
Sona Sitri nodded understandingly, then couldn't help but scrutinize Inaba Tsukiyo, adjusting her glasses.
Since it was Rias herself who invited her, Sona Sitri no longer doubted Inaba Tsukiyo's identity. It was just… she couldn't understand why Rias would invite Inaba Tsukiyo.
Judging from her aura, Inaba Tsukiyo should just be an ordinary human, but ordinary humans are not qualified to receive an invitation from Rias.
This was very interesting. It seemed something amusing had happened with Rias without her knowing.
"I understand. I'll leave the rest to you. I'll be taking my leave now."
With that, Sona Sitri bowed slightly to Inaba Tsukiyo and then turned to leave.
"Tsukuyo, come with me. I'll take you to see the President."
After Sona Sitri's figure completely disappeared, Tachibana Koneko took Inaba Tsukiyo's hand, a faint smile gracing her usually expressionless face, and said.
"Alright, thank you, Koneko."
The combined charm of two equally exquisite and adorable Little Lolis was immense. The students in the academy who liked lolis, upon seeing Tachibana Koneko walking with another loli who was no less cute than her, quickly took out their phones to try and capture the moment.
However, just as these Boy Students who wanted to take photos pressed the capture button, their phones would shut down for unknown reasons, or in severe cases, smoke would directly rise from them, freezing them.
"Well done, Heavenly Father! Hmph! Hmph! They even dared to try and take pictures of Master. Don't even think about it."
Mikazuki Munechika, who was in Imaginary Space, looked at those Boy Students with dissatisfaction. They actually wanted to take pictures of Inaba Tsukiyo? What a bunch of annoying guys!
The Heavenly Father nodded faintly, her right hand tapping on the transparent screen in front of her.
As a product of modern technology, the Heavenly Father, while possessing a human appearance, could use her abilities to hack into other people's phones and perform any operation.
Mikazuki Munechika was like an ancient princess, unfamiliar with modern technology, while the Heavenly Father was the complete opposite; these things were precisely what she excelled at.
In fact, even if Mikazuki Munechika hadn't told the Heavenly Father to do this, the Heavenly Father had already intended to do so.
It was just that the Heavenly Father didn't know why she had such a thought. She didn't understand what was going on.
Led by Tachibana Koneko, they walked through the school's forest and arrived at the old school building in the center of the forest.
Upon entering the old school building's area, Inaba Tsukiyo felt the barrier she had sensed last time from Imaginary Space.
This time, with Tachibana Koneko leading the way, Inaba Tsukiyo smoothly passed through the barrier and arrived at the Occult Research Club inside the old school building.
When Tachibana Koneko brought Inaba Tsukiyo here, Rias, along with Himejima Akeno and Kiba Yuuto, had already been waiting for them for a long time.
This was Inaba Tsukiyo's official meeting with Rias. Rias finally met the Little Loli who had made her subordinates act strangely. She wanted to see what kind of peculiar charm this Little Loli possessed.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I am Rias Gremory. Thank you very much for taking care of my subordinates."
