Creak~
The moment the name "Shirone" left his mouth, Hiro heard a sound like a fist clenching tightly.
The source was the silent white-haired loli sitting in front of him.
"..."
Koneko stared at the smile on his face without speaking for a long moment before finally recovering from her initial shock.
"My tone just now was inappropriate. I apologize for that. I'm very sorry."
Faced with Hiro's counterattack, she didn't choose to argue and instead apologized directly.
Then, maintaining a calm and serious tone, she looked at him and made her request.
"Nanamiya-kun, could you please come to the Occult Research Club's activity room with me after school? It won't take up too much of your time."
"Hm... about that."
Under Koneko's gaze, Hiro tilted his head as if thinking.
"Although it seems that I probably don't have anything important to do after school this afternoon, but..."
He suddenly stopped there.
Under Koneko's slightly puzzled look, he raised his right index finger. A trace of mischief appeared on his face.
"If Toujou-san can do the beckoning cat gesture in front of me and say 'nya,' then I won't have anything important to do after school this afternoon."
"How about it? Would Toujou-san like to consider it?"
"..."
Koneko didn't agree immediately.
She didn't refuse either.
She simply showed an expression of hesitation and fell silent.
Hm...
Looking at this, there might actually be a chance?
Seeing her hesitant expression, Hiro raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised.
Originally, he planned to brush it off with a "just kidding" after she refused, then follow her to the old school building after school to see Rias Gremory and Akeno, along with the luck values above their heads.
As for Kiba Yuuto and the sealed Gasper-
If he saw them, fine. If not, it didn't really matter.
The main luck values should be on those two more prominent heroines.
Before long, a faint flush like sunset clouds slowly climbed onto Koneko's cheeks.
Paired with her delicate, doll-like face, it made Hiro somewhat reluctant to look away.
Although he genuinely wanted to see her do the beckoning cat gesture and say "meow," considering the effect on nearby classmates and the possible fluctuation of her favorability...
He gave up waiting.
"If you're unwilling, then forget it. I was just-"
"No!"
He was cut off mid-sentence.
"This is a task assigned by the president. It must be completed perfectly!"
...
Alright.
Since you're willing, I'll wait.
Hiro rested his elbows on the desk, propped his chin in his hands, and looked at her silently.
Waiting.
Perhaps realizing that the longer she delayed, the more classmates would enter the classroom, Koneko didn't make him wait long.
Less than ten seconds later, her face completely red, she slowly raised her right hand.
Her fingers curled inward, forming a standard beckoning cat gesture.
Then, looking straight into his brown eyes, she parted her lips slightly.
"Nya~~~"
Whether it was shyness or indignation in her amber eyes was unclear.
Still holding the pose, she stared straight at him, as if urging him to respond.
"I understand. I'll go with you after school."
Touching his nose and confirming his body hadn't reacted in any embarrassing way, Hiro answered sincerely.
Phew~
At close range, he could clearly see Koneko let out a breath, as if a weight had finally been lifted.
Click~
The sound of a camera shutter rang out.
Only then did Koneko realize she still hadn't lowered her hand or exited the beckoning cat pose.
Thankfully, R-country phones couldn't disable the shutter sound.
Otherwise...
That photo of Koneko-chan would probably have spread endlessly.
Hiro glanced at the stiff-looking, bespectacled guy near the classroom door and muttered inwardly.
"Thank you for your trouble."
Koneko nodded slightly, then stood up with a swift motion.
She accurately locked onto the culprit.
With her usual blank expression, she walked over, ignored his explanations and attempts to dodge, and snatched his phone.
Click~
This time, it wasn't a sneak shot.
It was the sound of a phone being scrapped.
"The money. I'll give it to you after school."
Koneko spoke coldly.
"No, no need! It was my fault!"
"Koneko-chan, you did nothing wrong. Take this as a lesson for me. No need for compensation!"
The bespectacled guy waved his hands frantically.
...
After school, Hiro politely declined Asuna's suggestion to walk together and followed Koneko to the old school building behind Kuoh Academy.
From the outside, it looked run-down.
Inside, it was clearly another world.
Holding the lacquered red doorknob in her right hand, Koneko turned back to look at him.
"Nanamiya-kun, the president and vice-president are both top-tier beauties in the academy."
"When you meet them, be mindful of your image. Don't be too rude. Understand?"
"Understood, understood."
Hiro waved his hand casually, clearly not taking it to heart.
I remember exactly what Rias and Akeno look like.
Their figures. Their personalities.
What's there to be surprised about?
Seeing his reaction, Koneko frowned slightly but didn't say more.
She simply pushed open the door with her right hand.
