Meanwhile, in another room…
By the time Venelana's door opened once more, an entire hour had already passed.
As the door closed softly behind them, both Rias and Akeno stood silently in the corridor, each of their faces tinged with varying shades of pink.
After all, the things Venelana had discussed with them in the past hour had been too outrageous—far too scandalous, in fact.
So scandalous, that Rias could barely even muster the courage to recall it. Just a rough memory was enough to heat her cheeks beyond control.
What kind of mother would discuss such matters with her daughter?!
From ideal locations to energy-saving positions, even breaking down exactly what techniques Bokue might prefer—Venelana's detailed rundown had been thorough enough to count as a complete, exhaustive guide.
Seriously, how did Mom know all of this so clearly anyway?
She'd even suggested that Rias could try bringing Akeno along next time and having the three of them together with Bokue—
Wait—!
Rias inhaled sharply, cutting off her wandering thoughts, forcibly suppressing the embarrassment rising within her heart.
She couldn't allow herself to think any further.
What on earth was going on with Mom today? How could she proactively bring up something like that? It was just… just…
"Pres-i-dent~, are you alright?"
A teasing voice drifted softly over. Turning her head, Rias saw her best friend Akeno standing beside her, wearing an amused smile.
Though Akeno's cheeks also showed a faint blush, compared to Rias's intensely burning cheeks—almost hot enough to fry eggs on—Akeno appeared considerably more composed.
"I'm fine, there's nothing wrong…"
Instinctively turning her face aside, Rias murmured evasively, intending to brush it off.
Yet Akeno clearly wasn't willing to let it slide so easily, continuing playfully:
"Still, Venelana-sama truly cares deeply about our club's wellbeing. She even made such an interesting proposal… Ah, just to clarify—I personally have no objections~."
"… Oh."
Rias's response was still quite subdued.
Seeing her friend's reserved expression, Akeno imitated Bokue's typical mannerism, raising an eyebrow slightly as she pressed forward:
"Then, why don't we try it out first thing tomorrow morning, and look for Bokue-kun together~?"
"Eh?!"
Finally, this suggestion prompted a real reaction from Rias. Hearing such an outrageous proposal from Akeno, she shivered involuntarily, turning her head sharply to stare at her friend:
"Wh-what did you just say? Akeno, you're… serious?!"
"Of course~ Why wouldn't I be?"
Akeno tilted her head slightly, glancing pointedly back toward the master bedroom they'd just exited.
"After all, this was an important 'lesson' from Venelana-sama herself. There's no way she would just casually joke about it, right?"
"But still…"
Rias hesitated, clearly conflicted.
Akeno, smiling gently, quickly followed up while she had the advantage:
"Don't worry, I won't put you in an awkward spot. Tomorrow morning, we'll meet outside Bokue's room first. You can enter alone, and after you two get started, I'll join in later. At that point, all you'll need to do is act as if you're reluctantly accepting. How does that sound?"
"But, wouldn't that be a bit unfair to you, Akeno…?"
Rias suddenly hesitated further, showing concern.
She knew that Akeno hadn't done anything intimate with Bokue yet—it was undoubtedly Akeno's "first time." Normally, any girl would prefer her first experience to be an exclusive, private moment with the person she liked, wholly invested in one another, not shared alongside someone else.
Not to mention ending up as mere "side dish" to someone else's main course.
"Ara ara~, President… Are you feeling a little guilty now?"
Seeing straight through her friend's hesitation, Akeno laughed gently, raising one hand elegantly to her cheek:
"If you'd prefer, I don't mind going first. How about that instead~?"
"Uuu…"

Meanwhile, inside Bokue's bedroom—
Koneko laid dazedly in Bokue's embrace, eyes misted over, breath quickened.
As a Nekomata, born from cats transformed into Youkai, even after gaining a human-like appearance, they still retained the fundamental nature of felines.
Consequently, every year Nekomata experienced fixed heat cycles—particularly strong during transitions between winter-spring and early summer.
Undeniably, Koneko was currently deep into one of these "heat cycles."
To be accurate, she'd experienced something similar once before, two months ago when they'd still been living at the old school building. At the time, under the influence of Bokue's aura, she'd briefly entered a similar state.
Though she'd managed to forcibly suppress those sensations back then through sheer effort, the situation this time was entirely different.
Unable to restrain it. Impossible to resist. Eventually, it completely overwhelmed her.
Her mind felt fuzzy and her body acted entirely on its own.
Through the haze clouding her vision, Koneko was acutely aware that it was herself who tightly embraced the young man in front of her.
From the initial subtle discomfort, building steadily to the powerful, rhythmic waves afterward—she couldn't help but willingly surrender, utterly carried away by it all.
"Senpai… you're incredible…"
She whispered softly, breath hitching tenderly. Her short, gentle gasps needed no elaborate explanation—her reaction already spoke volumes.
Though her instincts had clearly led her here, Koneko felt no disgust or regret.
She didn't hate Bokue. If anything, it might even be considered… admiration.
The origins of her fondness could be traced back to two months prior, during Bokue's fierce battle against Riser Phenex to protect President Rias. At that moment, a tiny spark of envy had quietly bloomed in Koneko's heart.
Because, much like Kuroka, Koneko was not purely a Nekomata. Rather, she was a half-breed, part-human and part-cat youkai. Their father had been a human researcher affiliated with the Naberius clan—a branch of the seventy-two pillars of devils, ranked twenty-fourth in status.
Their birth wasn't out of love, but for the sake of a cruel research program called the "Artificial Transcendental."
Their father never once viewed them as his daughters, only experimental subjects meant to advance his research.
Eventually, experiments spiraled out of control, Kuroka snapped, killing the researchers and escaping. Branded a stray devil, their family shattered overnight. Their parents perished during the chaos.
Because of Kuroka's actions, Koneko too was labeled as a failed, dangerous experiment and faced imminent execution.
That was until Rias discovered her, turning her into a "Rook" among her peerage—granting her a new chance at life.
As such, Koneko held a profound gratitude toward Rias. Yet sometimes she couldn't help wondering—if she had met Bokue sooner, perhaps she wouldn't have endured such cruel experiments, nor have spent so many years separated from her beloved sister. Perhaps, instead, someone would have protected and cherished them both from the very start.
"That's right, Shirone~ Just like that! Now, we sisters can finally stay together forever and ever, nya~"
The instant Koneko's petite frame was fully filled and overwhelmed with concentrated spiritual energy, a figure dressed in an elegant black kimono appeared gracefully at her side, leaning down to gently press lips against the smaller girl's mouth—lips that Koneko, with her limited height, couldn't quite reach on her own.
O-onee…-chan?!
Hearing that familiar, playful voice caused Koneko's consciousness—which had already begun sinking into hazy bliss—to briefly flare back to reality.
But it was already too late.
