As a devil, Asia Argento joined the Kuoh Academy and also the Occult Research Club. So I got a companion for my boring work.

I spent a whole week handing out flyers for the Occult Research Club on the streets of the city and fulfilling some strange requests, but I still couldn't get a subscription. It was harder than it looked.

So it was good not to be the only newcomer.

In the first few days, Asia took a while to get used to the devil activities, but she got the main idea. For me, it was even better to have a pretty girl by my side all the time.

However, the opportunities to get hearts didn't come as easily as I had hoped. I seemed to get them more easily at crucial and important moments. Also, since each character had a distinct personality, tastes, and backstory, it was a bit difficult to predict how to win hearts with them. The system was balanced in its own way.

I could have compelling conversations with Asia, and I certainly had her affection. After all, she and I had the same amount of hearts as I did with Akeno, but I still didn't know if I could go any further.

Akeno and I only kissed for the first time because I took the initiative and he was ambivalent about the kiss. Asia might react the same way as Akeno, or better or worse. It was an unknown, so I decided to take it easy.

When I arrived at the Occult Research Club room one morning, Rias was the only one there. I had left early in the morning because we had been told the night before to arrive before classes started.

Rias was sitting on the sofa, sipping her green tea elegantly.

"Good morning, Arias."

"Good morning, Leo. How's the wound?"

"It's completely healed thanks to Asia's healing powers." I replied with a smile. "And you too."

I sat down on the same couch as Rias.

"I should probably stop worshipping you here. The new girl is going to be jealous of me."

"L-leo....?"

When I turned around, Asia tried to smile.

"A-Asia?"

"Rias is very pretty, so even Leo would like her.... I can't think like that, so maybe we can share and...! No, no. Oh, God. Please forgive my sinful heart."

It was then that I realized I was wrong. Asia certainly didn't see me as just a friend, nor was she as holy as I thought. Of course not! How could I have forgotten?
