----------
Groaning at the insistence and that refusing now would increase any suspicion, I held the cup close to my face but didn't sip at it until I was done studying its content.
The words shared the day before with Baraqiel were still ringing dreadfully in my mind, and I knew that every possible attempt to 'seduce me' was now going to be something of be wary of while around her.
She was attractive, there was no denying that, and her personality closely matched her physical appearance in terms of loveliness… but then again, she didn't have any perception of romantic love.
Despite her knowledge over lust, Akeno was still terribly inexperienced and forceful over the gaining of a romantic relationship… and that wasn't even my own understanding of her personality.
It was something that had been visible in the show up until her father ended up meeting with her. From rekindling the bond and regaining her only parent back, the girl would then try to make hesitant but proper step to truly have a serious relationship with Issei.
But now? Now there was none of that and, remembering all of the lewd scenes that the girl was main escalator of, I was sure going to be wary around her.
Especially since her overly-protective and horribly-murdery daddy was literally living in my own house.
The girl returned to sit beside her buchou, smiling sweetly and waiting for something to happen from this little development. Without hesitation I glanced at the tea in the cup, my eyes spotting almost instantly an odd shade within it, and I noticed that I wasn't the only one suspecting some foul play going on.
Koneko's eyes were fixed at the liquid, her candy-munching interrupted as she quietly frowned at the cup. Her body was tense, slivers of worry visible in her pretty face as she continued to stare cautiously at the tea.
Her nose then took a brief, distant snif at it and then, in a mere blink of an eye, her hand swiftly reached out and slapped the cup away from my hands, uncaring of the tea spilling on the ground as the container exploded in shard the moment it collided on the floor.
Issei yelped in surprise at the unexpected action but it was her reaction that surprised me the most as I turned to look her way.
"K-Koneko?!"
Our attention shifted to the wide-eyed Akeno, the girl shocked, a little angry but mostly dismayed at how her plan had been ruined by the silver-haired girl.
"Koneko-chan… why did you slap Hoitsu-san's cup away?" Rias's voice showed some surprise and reprimanding tone.
The silver-haired girl looked a little more tense now that the King was interested on the topic, and I decided to intervene just because I couldn't just allow my kohai to suffer through this double attack for doing me a big favor.
"I think Koneko-chan spotted a mosquito on the cup and since it was quite close to her."
"I almost jumped at that," The girl added with a faux apologetic tone and nodded towards my direction. "I'm sorry, senpai."
"There is no need to apologize to me, Koneko-chan," I muttered back politely, giving her a quick smile. "Still, I think that was quite the excessive reaction and you should apologize to Akeno-san-"
"I-I am fine with it, there is no need to apologize." The Himejima interrupted nervously, causing me to frown at her. "I-I suppose accidents can happen a-and I forgive you, Koneko-chan."
There was some barb in the usage of that honorific, but I guess that did screw some of her plans over using that blasted tea against me.
Still, I couldn't help but wonder if there had been some aphrodisiac inside of it or even something worse…
Thank the Gods I wasn't going to deal with that ever again, since now I was aware of this little trick and she knew it wouldn't work with me anymore thanks to the Nekoshou's swift intervention.
Rias seemed ready to mount a protest about the instance, as her lips parted to make space to some response to what was going on… then she stopped and seemed to think about this a little more.
"Ignoring what has just happened," The redhead finally said with a careful tone. "I assume you wish to know why you got invited here this urgently, Hoitsu-san."
I nodded politely at the lack of animosity. "That is correct, Rias-san."
There was a brief smile then the girl turned to Koneko.
"I've been told that you are now living alone, in your own house."
I blinked at the curious beginning of something incredibly convoluted. "Yes, that is the case."
"And how did you exactly 'bypass' your parents about this?" She inquired quietly, looking interested over the subject. "Did you buy your new home and-"
"If you mean that 'I avoided fighting with them' with 'bypass them', then no," I interjected with a tired sight. "I did fight them about the subject, quite a lot to be honest. But in that very fight we managed to sort out the issues and have them accept my current plans for the future."
The Gremory fidgeted in her seat as she thought about my words, then she continued. "But you did have to make something to get them to see your point."
Sighing I nodded. "I had to show them results that my plans are starting well and they would be until I was careful around."
… "What?"
"Actions matter more than words," I stated calmly and truthfully. "That is one of the many unspoken rules of life that help people in almost every situation. If you wish for someone to understand and approve what you want to do with your life then you need to prove that your idea is worth of consideration-"
"This is actually a… different case." The redhead sighed, putting the chat in a stall as I narrowed my eyes at her sudden interruption.
I continued to stare at her for a little while, her sky-blue eyes darting away from direct contact and I sighed tiredly as I decided to push up the discussion.
