He frowned.

"He is that sort of person then?"

"There were times when I had to save her from the worst of his moods," she said darkly.

He nodded in understanding, then tilted his head towards the Pawn he had set in front of her.

"And that?"

She hesitated.

"I would like to sleep on it," she finally looked up and he noted a sincerity in her expression that could not be faked, "if you don’t mind."

He accepted her decision and took one last glance at the piece on the table before heading towards the sofa that was his impromptu bed. He was not surprised to see it there again in the morning, exactly where he had left it, untouched and unmoved.

A few days had gone by when he noticed that something odd was going on in the school, specifically the influx of new students. A couple had appeared the morning after the Rating Game was finished, but that number swiftly became a couple dozen by the end of the week. What was odder still was that they seemed to have only eyes for him, and were either apathetic or downright hostile to their classmates when the customary greetings were supposed to be exchanged. He had asked Rias about that particular peculiarity.

"That is because they are devils," she had replied with a smile, "and they are here because of you."

That had been a rather surprising revelation as well as an unwanted one, and he had taken to doing what was natural for him when problems like these arose, namely avoiding them. When they tried to approach him, he would walk the other way, and when they thought they had him cornered, he would disappear into one of the academy’s lesser visited hallways. It was the same method he had used against Rias when she had first taken an interest in him, albeit with the sole exception that they did not have Issei around to find him, which meant his attempts at avoidance so far had been a resounding success.

In the back of his head though, he knew he was only delaying the inevitable. One day he would have to face the issue as he had done with Rias and he was prepared for that. What he was not prepared for was just how soon it would be and the manner it was presented to him.

The letters poured out of his locker in a tide. He nearly dropped his backpack in sheer surprise. It was only his reflexes that saved him, juggling both his pack while managing to prevent the worst of the avalanche of paper from overwhelming him.

Around him, people stared, and a few girls started giggling. Not a good way to start a morning.

He gathered the few letters that had floated to the ground into the stack in his arms and made a swift retreat. His steps took him directly to the Occult Club’s homeroom and flung the door open. Unsurprisingly, most of club was already gathered, assembled around the table, though with two unexpected additions. Tsubaki and Sona, for some reason or the other, were sitting with them, both holding steaming cups of tea.

Rias smiled when he entered, and her smile only seemed to grow when she saw what he was struggling to carry. It was in her direction he stomped, stopping only when he reached the table’s edge to deposit the contents in his arms. They cascaded down in a continuous stream and piled high in an unceremonious heap on the wooden surface.

Sona raised her cup delicately when an errant letter threatened to land in her drink.

The amused silence was broken predictably by Akeno.

"Ara, ara, Arisato-kun, I never knew you were this popular," the beautiful girl teased, "But are you sure you want to share these confession letters with us? You will be breaking many a maiden’s innocent heart."

"They are not what you think they are," he bit out.

Kiba took that as his cue to take one of the letters from the pile and open it. A rather bemused look appeared on the sword-user’s face.

"A request to be in his peerage," the boy took another from the pile and ripped it open, "Another request to be in his peerage," his eyebrows were raised in amusement as he waved a third letter, "I wonder what this one will be about?"

Akeno snatched the offending material from his hands and opened it herself.

"A peerage request and should that be refused, a request for a Rating Game," the girl read, then smirked, "How would that even work?"

"If he refuses the peerage request they will demand a Rating Game to challenge the decision," Sona replied brusquely, "That is the gist of it, at least."

"Ah, I’m jealous Arisato-san," Issei said seriously, "You’re already on your way to becoming a Harem King and I’ve only started on my journey. But don’t worry! I will catch up to you and we’ll become rival Harem Kings together!"

The conviction in the boy’s eyes would have been vaguely amusing had it also not been faintly disturbing. He turned to Sona, who seemed to sense his incoming question, and steepled her fingers under her chin.

"Why is this happening?"

In response to the Sona’s nod, Tsubaki produced a tablet and slid it his way.

"It has been the number one watched video on the Devil Network for the past few days," the vice president said sternly, as though somehow that was his fault, "and has been discussed numerous times on what passes for human forums in our world."

He looked down and as he suspected, a familiar scene appeared before his eyes. Belial, chasing Riser and what was left of his peerage down. Belial, the flame whip in its hand lashing out at the girl that was his Bishop. Belial, its cruel visage laughing as it finally pinned down its quarry.

"You have become quite the celebrity within our society," Sona noted.
