"So, how about Koneko-chan and I make a promise?"
Takumi felt that the texture was good, so he continued to stroke Koneko's soft hair, speaking as he did so.
"A promise?"
Koneko tilted her head and looked up at Takumi.
"Well, a promise... The next time you see Kuroka, talk to her properly and tell her how you feel."
"Of course, if she tries to abduct you, you just need to call for me in your heart."
"As long as you call me from the bottom of your heart, I will surely come in response to your call."
"Okay..."
There was a sparkle in Koneko's eyes.
Senior, are you worrying about my affairs? Such a feeling... I haven't felt it for a long time.
Senior Takumi, he really is very gentle...
Koneko thought so.
But Takumi was just acting naturally. Well, if you were a rough man, I wouldn't bother talking to you, even if you were the type of guy who could become a girl like Kiba!
"Well, just call me when the time comes. I won't let my Koneko-chan be taken away by her sister."
Takumi said with a smile. He had the capital to say such things.
At present, he can maintain three incarnations in his normal state. Generally, the ones he opens are [Narasimha], [Gautama Buddha], and [Vamana].
Narasimha allows him to hear the calls of others; the Buddha and Vamana ensure he can withstand sudden attacks and escape at any time.
"I... I believe in Senior."
Koneko's head nodded slightly. Senior's palm... is it very warm? This was her thought.
......
Next was the time to review and build his internal system. But instead of school subjects, he was learning how to control three incarnations simultaneously.
If he builds a self-running system, he can ensure that even if he is unconscious, he has a plan to deal with all situations. There would be no repeat of being taken advantage of by Serafall like last night. The engineering volume of such a project is immense.
By the time school was over, Takumi had only completed the most basic system construction. If a High-class Devil heard this, they would probably be shocked to death. Building such a system in one day usually requires the strength of a Maou!
"He really is as immovable as a giant statue..."
Kiryuu Aika looked at Takumi speechlessly. Takumi had been in this state all afternoon. Even though the teacher knew he was special, Takumi's constant focus had reached a point that defied explanation.
"Ding-dong-ding-dong!"
After class, Takumi opened his eyes. He walked towards the school gate; he hadn't forgotten that today he was going to deal with that Fallen Angel instead of Issei.
"And then there's that..." Takumi took out his phone.
"Beep... Beep..."
"Hello, this is Sona Sitri." A calm voice came through; Takumi was calling Sona.
"President, I'm Takumi. I'm sorry—since I only awakened my power yesterday, it may take me a long time to get used to it. So, regarding the Student Council work..."
"Well, I see. Don't worry. I'll leave the Student Council tasks to Tsubaki."
After hearing Sona's words, Tsubaki Shinra, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. President, now that you have a man, you forget your best friend!
"No, that's not what I meant," Takumi said with a smile.
"That's not it? What do you mean?" Sona was a little puzzled. Didn't you call to ask for leave?
"I mean, I have already sent the results of today's work to your mailbox, President. It might be the same in the future. I may spend more time learning magic."
This amount of work was nothing to him. He had only dragged it out before because he wanted to stay by Sona's side while waiting to awaken the system.
"Huh?! It's already done?! Takumi-kun is as amazing as ever."
Sona looked at her inbox. Indeed, there was an email from Takumi.
"I understand what you said, but... however, I also have something I want to tell you." Sona hesitated for a while before speaking. She had only found out this news in the afternoon.
"Yes... Sona, what is it?"
Takumi switched to calling her Sona instead of the President. He would not make the same mistake Issei Hyoudou made. In the original story, Issei kept calling her "President" and was reluctant to say "Rias," which led to a cold war. Besides, Sona was willing to trade her future with Ajuka for him; she was worth the effort.
On the other end, hearing the change in Takumi's form of address, Sona's face flushed slightly.
"Takumi-kun, my parents want you to come to my house to visit. The time would probably be during the summer vacation... Really, they are always so impatient."
Under Tsubaki's suspicious gaze, Sona showed a shyness she had never displayed before. Sona could even hear her own heartbeat after asking.
"Okay... no problem. I'll visit when the time comes."
Takumi's voice came through the phone and calmed Sona's heart. She was truly afraid he would refuse. After a bit more talk, they hung up.
Tsubaki Shinra was already numb; today she had seen an unprecedented girly attitude from the President. Although Takumi-kun is indeed good enough, can you remember I'm standing right here?
"Beep!"
After hanging up, Takumi walked towards the meeting place agreed upon with Raynare.
Before the statue of Hachiko, a girl radiating a pure aura stood with a bit of unease. She had a polite smile, and her slightly pursed lips indicated she was nervous. The girl's slender hands and fair skin were like jade, reflecting the twilight.
She was wearing a traditional school sailor suit. The sun was setting, and the faint light shone on her face, fitting her alias, Yuuma Amano.
But Takumi knew. Yuuma Amano was her pseudonym, and her "pure girl" act was a facade. In fact, she was quite the twisted individual. To put it bluntly, she was abnormal; to put it kindly, her obsession was simply too deep.
She seemed to notice Takumi's gaze, then looked away. Although she hid it well, Takumi noticed the strong interest flashing in her eyes.
Did you investigate me beforehand? Yes, if you investigated Issei, it's normal to have checked me too.
"Oh?"
When Takumi stared at her, a golden exclamation point appeared above her.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for triggering a Plot Sign-in! Sign-in Level: Gold!]
[Sign-in to the plot: The Surrender of the False Heroine!]
[Sign-in plot: Met Yuuma Amano. Thought I saw a heroine, but found out it was just a twisted being with a fake heroine's halo.]
[Sign-in conditions: Fallen Angel Raynare's complete surrender.]
[Check-in time limit: 3 hours.]
"Well, well. I didn't expect you to be so valuable."
Takumi adjusted his impression of her. She had turned into a valuable and slightly twisted Fallen Angel.
