The Player is a Part-Timer

Chapter 3: Fallen, fallen, little Fallen

Sona almost visibly shuddered, paling as she imagined her sister of all appearing here. If something would happen to her, she was sure; the mighty Leviathan would go that far to rampage, destroy everything in her way until she finds the culprit behind her sister's injury, or worse, death!

"Even if it means the end of the world or the intervention of every other faction."

She sweated for a moment, adjusting her spectacle with a slightly trembling hand. It was bad enough, Rias abused her brother's infatuation and pestering of her, but if her sister gets wind of this, her steady position and a good reputation will be ruined forever.

"Understandable concern. In that case, I propose to join forces, keep her always in check. Move-in groups so at least one can always check the other's back."

"Acceptable..." Rias hummed in confirmation. "Is this satisfy you, Kiba?" Rias asked her servant, looking at him gently.

"If this proves the innocence of my friend and the reveal of truth, then yes." Kiba glanced at Rias for a moment.

"Good..."

"Then, it's concluded, let's speak about..."

"So... then that means the ban to meet her again, and visit the café raised?" Kiba cut the Sitri heiress suddenly, right away recognizing everyone watching him weird, and Sona adjusting her glasses with a strict gaze.

"I don't think that's a good idea, not yet. I ask for your patience until we know more." explained right away Rias, pointing out a logical explanation.

"Hmm, I see... your concern is understandable Buchou. Then, what should I answer her when we meet at school, again...? As I heard, she inquired more and more where I am in recent days. I can't evade her all the time, or come up with many more excuse..." yes, Kiba was really crap coming up with excuses.

"She might become suspicious," he added in the end.

"Kiba-kun... Ara! Ara!" Akeno chuckled, hiding her mouth amused. "What's that tone? You are completely different. Don't say you fell in love?"

"Weird..." Koneko just said out flat, gnawing on her chocolate bar.

"That's not...!" slightly blushing, the blonde turned his head away. "Still, if she recognizes I avoid her deliberately, then she will be even more suspicious. Aren't that will hinder the investigation even more?"

"Haaah!" and Rias only leaned back in her seat, tired, massaging her temple.

Kiba was right! If he avoids her, that will make the girl even more suspicious in their direction. It will be much harder conducting their investigation.

"This starts to become more and more tiresome and complicated. Very well, you can meet her, but only if someone is around to watch your back. I don't want to lose you..."

Both her expression and tone softened in the next moment, opening her eyes slightly.

"Don't worry; I will be careful." and then, the deal made between the "king" and her knight, Kiba accepting the terms of Rias. And thus, the discussion continued, Sona stating what her Peerage found in the case of murders.

...

Outside, the PE lesson was on full-blown. Girls and boys from different classes doing all kind of exercises.

Running, long-jump, basketball, volleyball, pushups, and sit-ups, there was even a tennis court and an athletic field. The sports facilities of the school were quite sizable and well equipped.

And just now, several girls and boy gathered, cheering one particular person near the athletic field.

"Ughh! Gillian-chan! You can do it!"
