Scene switch—
Five minutes later, Bokue arrived at the destination with Chisato Hasegawa.
"This is..."
Coming before the old school building, the school nurse showed slight surprise with just one glance.
As former school nurse of Tokyo's old Kuoh Academy, Chisato naturally knew the school had such a building—now already moved to the top of Itogami Island's Keystone Gate.
After all, since being moved here along with her building by Bokue, every morning upon waking she only needed to slightly part curtains to see numerous structures at the same elevation.
Including this old school building.
Just what Chisato hadn't expected was Bokue actually moving this old school building into Saikai Academy too.
He liked this old building that much??
"Well, after all Rias and the others are used to treating the old school building as their club activity venue. Switching to a new classroom would definitely take adjustment. So I simply connected the Keystone Gate rooftop space with here."
Bokue explained casually.
"I see..."
Hearing this, Chisato pushed up her glasses. Her lips couldn't help curving into a smile.
"You're quite considerate of others."
As she spoke, Bokue came to the old school building entrance. Like returning home, he familiarly raised his hand to gently pull open the main door, turning his body to gesture welcomingly to the school nurse still standing behind.
"Alright, come in."
Entering the old school building—simultaneously in the old school building's living room, aside from Bokue and Chisato Hasegawa who'd been appointed advisor teacher by Saikai Academy this new semester, everyone else had already arrived first.
Just like daily club activities at Kuoh Academy with almost no difference—Rias as president still sat behind the central desk.
On sofas to both sides, besides Akeno, Koneko, and Asia, there were additional new additions: Mio Naruse, Maria, Yuki Nonaka, Kurumi Nonaka, Irina, Xenovia, Yukina Himeragi, Nagisa Akatsuki, plus Gasper hiding in a cardboard box in the corner disguised as miscellaneous items with only eyes showing.
Club activity numbers had multiplied dramatically. Fortunately, Bokue had quite foresightedly expanded the old school building beforehand. Otherwise, just these people would make the original old school building living room unbearably crowded.
Since everyone hadn't arrived yet, club activities hadn't officially begun. Rias sat behind the desk looking at new school notifications on her phone, continuously scrolling.
Just then, the young man's voice came from the living room entrance.
"Eh? Everyone's already here? Am I late?"
"No, not at all..."
Rias sitting behind the desk looked up with a gentle smile, setting down her phone.
"Rather, perfect timing. Feels like we haven't held club activities here at the old school building at this time in ages. Though only separated by summer vacation, it somehow evokes strange nostalgia."
"Holding 'shooting' club activities?"
Looking completely innocent, Nagisa sat on the sofa, index finger tapping her lips as she tilted her head.
"So when at the original school before, Oniisan participated in activities at the old school building with the big sisters every day like this?"
"Of course."
Rias didn't catch the certain Primogenitor girl's pun, just smiling and nodding.
"Just back then there weren't this many people. Only Akeno, Koneko, and me. Even Asia came later."
"Oh~"
Nagisa made an admiring sound.
So originally there were only three people. Plus Koneko-chan looked like she couldn't eat much anyway.
Seems the two big sisters ate really well every day too—definitely rested only after Oniisan fed them full daily, right?
"Alright, come sit down first, Bokue. Let's discuss important matters."
Without dwelling too long on reminiscing, Rias was about to fast-forward to today's main topic.
"Regarding the three-way conference we've been preparing—the exact date is now confirmed. During Saikai Academy's open house event next week after merging with Kuoh Academy... hmm?"
Words cutting off abruptly mid-sentence, the red-haired girl suddenly noticed someone following behind Bokue.
Smooth black hair, goddess-like beautiful features, a white coat shrouding her perfect figure beneath, plus those emerald eyes that—due to non-prescription glasses—always seemed somewhat sleepy.
"Are you... Hasegawa-sensei?"
Rias froze slightly.
She'd never expected someone else following behind Bokue—moreover, Dr. Hasegawa who'd served as school nurse at old Kuoh Academy.
Rias had learned some things about the latter. After all, the undisputed number one beauty among Kuoh Academy's faculty—topping student-made popularity rankings alongside her and Akeno.
Just the person herself seemingly didn't care about such things. Her personality was relatively laidback. Rarely seen anywhere outside the infirmary. So gradually Rias stopped paying attention.
But why would she suddenly appear here now?
"Hello everyone."
Chisato maintained that extremely calm tone while pushing up her glasses, nodding to the girls in the living room.
More accurately, aside from Bokue, she basically showed that emotionally flat demeanor toward everyone else.
"I'm Chisato Hasegawa. You might remember me—I was Kuoh Academy's school nurse. Now... continuing medical work at Saikai Academy. Plus, starting this semester, I'll serve as your club's advisor teacher."
Advisor teacher...
Such a thing would have been absolutely impossible in the previous Occult Research Club.
Or rather, simply wouldn't be allowed.
After all, though the Occult Research Club sounded like some club, considering the member composition—calling it the Gremory family's mortal realm base fit better than calling it a school club.
Especially initially when all members were Rias's servants, so daily discussion topics all related to the Underworld or family.
Under these circumstances, suddenly inserting some external advisor teacher... couldn't possibly happen!
Previously this was true. Now even more so.
However, somewhat surprisingly, Rias only hesitated momentarily before immediately agreeing.
"I see. Then please guide us well from today, Hasegawa-sensei."
Not just Rias—including everyone else in the living room similarly had no objections, showing quite approving attitudes.
This was Chisato Hasegawa's authority as a Main God—easily earning anyone's trust and affection.
Only Nagisa—whose strength had long surpassed Maou-class after Bokue's diligent "irrigation"—seemed unaffected. Instead, she looked up somewhat curiously, turning her head toward the young man still standing at the living room entrance.
The two made eye contact. Nagisa knowingly blinked.
Mmm, though still unclear who this pretty doctor big sister was, from appearances she'd already become one of their "good sisters."
