-Kuoh-

Well, this was awkward. 

"Destroying the Excaliburs!? And you of all people let him do so!?”

Rias was not happy with the situation that she found us in, rubbing her forehead from the oncoming headache of actions. Both Irina and I put both Akeno and Xenovia in my bed where Asia was currently healing both of them. Thankfully, there wasn't anything major or any life-threatening injuries on any of them—so she should be done in a bit.

I got myself a nice hot shower, washing away all of today's stressful ordeal. A few hours felt like days, I couldn't believe half of the things that happened this very day. Irina followed suit and just as we started to relax on the sofa, Rias came.

Her impatient look was all I needed to start my side of the story and basically the retelling of everything that happened from the moment I got that delicious, vicious coffee ice cream. At first, both girls gave me a weird look from the start of the story until I got to the part about meeting the Ouroboros dragon on the street and treating her like a kid who lost her parents.

"You can't be serious… OPHIS!?" Rias exclaimed out loud, going all pale and sickly from the most powerful being casually wandering her territory. The same being who could accidentally erase Kuoh with a sneeze if she wasn't careful or got annoyed—at least that was how the scale of her powers was described.

"You don't need to worry, I got things under control."

"Really, you got her handled!?" she asked excitedly, somehow thinking I managed to 'handle' a Dragon God.

'And she didn't even question whether I could do it or not!'

This girl had way too much trust in me.

Sorta made my black little heart swell with appreciation.

Kinda made me sad about what I was about to say next.

"I invited Ophis to our house whenever she wants… So don't panic if you find a loli goth girl observing you in the middle of the night while you sleep."

"..."

"..."

Right, I guess this was my signal to carefully leave the room without causing any more—

"HIKIGIYA HACHIMAN!"

Oof, screaming my full name like that, she was definitely pissed.

It took another hour to calm Rias who was in the middle of another panic attack. I sat next to the girl and patted her back in comfort. Surprisingly, I was not the only one who chose to comfort the red head.

"What are you doing?" I asked Irina, who was patting her back as well.

"Eh… I don't know. I just went along with the mood." 

Fair enough.

"You owe me a date for all of the emotional turmoil," Rias whispered, her face still buried in her hands. 

Given everything that happened till this point, I guess she did have a valid point. She needed some time to chill and relax for once. Maybe another round at Saizeriya? No, I already went there many times in the past with many different people. I would have to set up a plan soon.
