Aside from the curtains that had caught fire from the waves of destruction magic leaking unintentionally from a certain agitated crimson-haired girl, the fractured flooring, and the obliterated window, the entire catching-them-in-the-act—ahem, discovering-there-was-another-girl-in-bed incident proceeded relatively peacefully.
Exactly thirty seconds after an explosion loud enough to shake the entire Gremory castle echoed, everyone on the same floor woke immediately and hurried over.
From Irina to Xenovia, and Asia to Koneko—they all rushed into the room together.
As they stepped inside, what greeted their eyes was Rias, standing by the bedside in her sleepwear, her fists tightly clenched, destruction magic emanating like waves of crimson ripples behind her.
She was locked in a chilling stare-down with Kuroka, who lay sprawled possessively atop the chest of the boy in the bed, clearly taking a protective and provocative stance.
Akeno, wearing a loosely tied yukata, stood silently nearby, one hand covering her mouth. She appeared completely stunned—but if one looked closely, they'd notice her eyes had remained fixed on a certain point of intimate connection between the pair on the bed.
Occasionally, she would bite her lower lip softly, her throat moving ever so subtly.
And Bokue, who should've been in the center of the storm, simply seemed as though he had just woken up.
He looked around in sleepy confusion, assessing the situation in the room. Noting the aggressive stance of Rias, the awkward silence of Akeno, and finally Kuroka clinging to him on the bed, he let out a helpless sigh.
"Kuroka, seriously? You forgot to transform back…"
Eh?
Hearing the phrase "transform back," Rias, who had been mid-rage, paused slightly, her mind suddenly connecting dots.
At the same time, Kuroka turned back from her stare-down with Rias, gently pinching Bokue's cheek with one hand, a mischievous smile spreading across her lips.
"BAKA~ Did you forget we agreed I'd stay in this form all night? If I transformed back, I wouldn't be able to handle your full power like that, you know?"
Kuroka paused deliberately here, then glanced towards the petite, silver-haired girl who had arrived at the door alongside the clueless blonde nun, Asia. She raised one hand, cheerfully greeting:
"Good morning, Shirone~! You sure worked hard with Bokue last night. Is your body feeling okay today, nya~?"
"Wha—?!"
Before Koneko could even respond, Rias turned sharply, staring incredulously at the girl behind her.
What the heck was "worked hard with Bokue last night" supposed to mean?! The "Bokue" part was obviously clear, but "worked hard"… did this mean that even Koneko had…?!
Wait, wait, WAIT! Now was NOT the time to dwell on that!
Rapidly shaking her head, Rias banished the lower-priority questions momentarily, refocusing her fierce gaze on the thieving cat-girl lounging on Bokue's chest.
"So, who exactly are you? And why are you in Bokue's bed?!"
"Uh, she's actually—"
Irina, who had been watching from the sidelines, tried to helpfully step in with an explanation, but Kuroka beat her to the punch. Tilting her head playfully, the cat-girl gave a proud smirk.
"Hmm~? To put it in simple terms that even a red-haired little girl like you can understand—I'm Shirone's real sister, the one and only true older sister. I'm also Bokue's true childhood friend, the companion who journeyed west alongside him and returned to Japan at his side. In other words—I'm his real girlfriend, nya~!"
"NANI?!"
In mere minutes, Rias had already endured countless shocking revelations, but now, hearing the woman in front of her claim she was Koneko's older sister, the red-haired girl couldn't help but turn back yet again to glance at the smaller silver-haired girl near the doorway.
But Koneko's expression was enough proof in itself—especially the subtle blush on her cheeks as her small hand gently pressed against her belly.
On the bed, Bokue had already sat upright. Due to this vertical movement, the bed covers had slid down, just barely covering up to their waists.
To avoid accidentally exposing herself, Kuroka tightly wrapped her arms around Bokue's neck, pressing her ample chest against him intimately.
From behind, only her flawless, porcelain-white back was visible, along with their scandalously close posture that was enough to make everyone present feel utterly jealous.
Naturally, this intimate pose was exactly what Kuroka intended. Making matters even worse, she openly licked Bokue's earlobe right in front of everyone, her already seductive and mature face turning even more teasing and alluring.
"No need for suspicion, nya~ Everything your Onee-chan just said is true. Last night, right on this very bed, Shirone and I teamed up as sisters to thoroughly take care of our dear Bokue, nya~."
Her tone abruptly shifted, taking on a teasing, provocative quality.
"Though poor Shirone, since it was her first time, lacked the proper skill and stamina. She was easily filled to the brim by Bokue. Seems like my little sister still needs lots of practice sessions with me from now on~."
"..."
Silence.
Complete, absolute silence...
This was simply far too explosive.
Setting aside the inherently scandalous discovery of another woman in your boyfriend's bed—already headline material even by tabloid standards—just the vivid descriptions Kuroka gave were enough to make everyone's cheeks burn fiercely.
At this point, Rias was utterly speechless.
After all, what could she possibly say? The woman in front of her had openly declared herself Bokue's true girlfriend, confidently and irrefutably. There was no room left for debate.
To think she had always considered herself the official girlfriend! Whether to her own mother, or to Akeno and everyone else—she had always been confidently claiming that role. She'd even used her status as Bokue's legitimate girlfriend repeatedly to restrain Akeno's behavior from going too far.
But now, even that role had been stripped from her… then she herself… what exactly did that make her?
Just as Rias felt her lips trembling, her eyes starting to lose their light, a slightly sleepy voice belonging to a certain elegant woman drifted in from the doorway.
"What happened, Bokue? I heard a really loud noise just now… Eh? Why are you all here so early? And this is…?"
The elegant voice halted abruptly. Clearly awake now, Venelana rubbed her eyes, instantly taking in the scene inside the room. Any traces of sleep vanished immediately, replaced by intrigue.
Oh my… could this possibly be… a live catch-them-in-the-act scenario?
"Good morning, Venelana-san~ Ah, wait—you might not recognize me in this form. Let me transform back into something more familiar~."
With that, Kuroka gracefully rose up from her sitting position, hands pressed against Bokue's shoulders as she knelt upright. A soft "pop" echoed, accompanied by a flash of magical energy as her figure rapidly shrank, smoothly transforming back into her recognizable small black-cat form.
Eh?
Venelana's eyes widened suddenly. Wait—she did recognize this form! During her very first night with Bokue, she vaguely recalled seeing a small black cat sitting calmly at the bedside, silently watching their entire passionate encounter.
Emmmm…
Just as Kuroka successfully rendered Venelana speechless as well, Xenovia, who'd quietly observed everything without comment so far, finally noticed that the petite blonde nun beside her seemed a bit… off.
Summarizing Asia's current condition was easy: bright red cheeks, vacant expression, and literal steam seemingly rising from the top of her head.
It was as if her brain had completely short-circuited.
"Hey, Asia Argento. You alright? You—"
Before Xenovia could finish her question, her finger barely touching Asia's shoulder, the overwhelmed blonde nun promptly fell backward stiffly.
"Wha— Hey, HEY?!"
And with that, chaos continued to unfold yet again.
