Chapter 218: True Bully ; Strange Relationship (1/2)
”Good morning,” I say as a response to Nao's silent gesture.
A cute yawning sound reaches my ears as Ayumi rubs her eyes before taking a seat at the dining table.
”Hey,” Misa, who is sitting beside Nao, suddenly says, ”the teacher will be conducting a few tests next week.”
Understanding what she's getting at, I nod my head and say, ”Okay. I'll make sure that you're properly prepared.”
I take this moment to look over at Sora who is cooking with the help of Kristina and Saturnus.
From the looks of it, breakfast will be prepared in a few minutes. So, I should go and retrieve Asia from heaven.
”Excuse me,” I say before getting up from my seat and directly teleporting to heaven.
”Asia?” I mutter while looking around the place.

”Take care,” I say before giving Ayumi a light peck in front of her school building.
This earns me quite a reaction from the surrounding children who were on their way to their class.
The females mostly let out some mildly annoying screeches before beginning to speak of how nice it is to have a 'handsome older brother'.
As for the males, well, they mostly didn't seem to care about the matter, but they sure stared at me intently.
”Goodbye, Brother Yu!” Ayumi cheerfully says.
I get back on my feet and lightly pat her head before saying, ”Bye, Ayu.”
As such, I separate from Ayumi and make my way to the others.

”Come on, Nao, I'm not that overprotective,” I say in a little awkward tone.
”Are you trying to pass it off as you being aware of it?” she immediately asks.
”That's not true,” I say, hoping that we reach the class soon.
”This guy here would probably burn the school down if something were to happen to his little sister,” Misa interjects, ”I would do the same too.”
”See?”
”That just means you both are overprotective,” Nao remarks while rolling her eyes.
”Um…” Asia says a little nervously, ”I think that His Holiness is just very caring.”
At this moment, I sense someone latching onto my arm and pulls me along as they begin to walk faster.
”Sora?” I confusedly question.
”We will be late to class,” she responds.
Hah~ At least, this is better than my over-protectiveness being determined by Nao.
Shortly, we reach our class. With the door being open, we simply step inside and head toward our seats.

”Rias,” I say with a smile-plastered to my face, ”I hope you've been doing well.”
Hearing my words, Rias issues an awkward laugh while her peerage curiously looks at us.
”Your Holiness?” Akeno says, seemingly unable to cope with not knowing what's going on.
”It's nothing,” I say, ”I just remembered that it has been a while since I've trained Rias.”
Before anything else could be said, I intone, ”Arena.”
The moment we arrive in the peculiar city, I use Clairvoyance to check for the presence of anything uninvited.
Fortunately, I find no traces of such a thing.
”Well then,” I say, ”Raynare and the rest should arrive soon. Rias, you will be accompanying me to the back of the city.”
The moment my words fade, I appear behind Rias and carry her princess-style.
Startled by my actions, a slightly red hue covers Rias' face as she doesn't know how to react.
Shaking my head a little, I leap into the air and utilize Godspeed to perform an air-jump.
