Arthas arrived at Kuoh Academy in the morning, accompanied by Souna.
Although he didn't look particularly young, wearing the school uniform made him feel awkward and uncomfortable.
"Is something wrong? It suits you perfectly."
Souna disagreed, nodding in satisfaction at Arthas's transformed appearance.
Besides the clothes, what made Arthas uncomfortable was Souna's personality. Despite becoming her familiar, like family, Souna was overly attentive.
It wasn't that attentiveness was bad, but it felt strange and awkward to Arthas.
He felt like he was being treated like a child.
He could only offer a wry smile and let Souna do as she pleased.
Everything was arranged perfectly, and Arthas successfully became a student at Kuoh Academy, enrolled as Shitori Arthas.
When Arthas curiously asked Souna about the name, she blushed, averting her gaze.
"Um, he needed a suitable identity; otherwise, arranging his transfer would have been difficult. So, I took the liberty of registering him as my brother."
"Bro… brother?"
Seeing Arthas's dumbfounded expression, Souna nodded lightly.
"What? Don't you like it?"
She asked with a slight pout, and Arthas scratched his head sheepishly.
"Of course I do… it's just… is it really alright? What about Rias…"
Thinking of his other nominal master, Arthas chuckled.
If Rias found out he was Souna's legal brother, who knew what she'd do.
"I'll explain to Rias. Besides, I didn't do anything wrong!"
Souna pushed up her glasses.
It was a necessary measure. Without a suitable identity, how could she have successfully enrolled him at Kuoh Academy?
Souna said this confidently, and Arthas shook his head with a smile. He didn't mind, but he wondered how Rias would react.
It must be said that Rias kept her promise. Since Arthas was Souna's familiar today, he didn't even see Rias.
She didn't come looking for him either, probably unaware of his enrollment at Kuoh Academy.
After a boring morning of classes, Arthas followed Souna to the student council room.
He curiously asked about this, and Souna explained thoroughly.
"Don't forget, Rias's brother is Lucifer, one of the Four Great Satan Rulers. As the sister of the proud ruler who once sounded the horn of attack against the conservative devils, Rias naturally inherited some of her brother's traits."
"Once she makes a promise, regardless of whether it's reasonable or appropriate, she will fulfill it perfectly. For example, the fact that you're my familiar today means she'll treat you as such.
Remember, we're still rivals."
"Is that so?"
"That's right. Tomorrow, you'll be Rias's familiar. And I'll treat you as my rival's familiar."
Souna said seriously, then smiled faintly.
"Of course, when you return home tonight, you're still my dear brother."
"Ahem…"
Arthas coughed awkwardly, noticing they'd reached the student council room.
Several girls, seemingly student council members, looked at Arthas, who was walking closely with Souna, with puzzled expressions.
Besides Genshirou Saji, another student council member, they'd never seen Souna interact with any male.
Who was this man?
It seemed the president was very close to him.
Ignoring the curious girls at the entrance, Souna led Arthas inside, towards the president's office.
"I'll introduce you to my other familiars later. They're all student council members, and I'm planning to give you a position here."
Souna said, and Arthas nodded.
Opening the door, they saw several people waiting inside. Souna had clearly informed her familiars beforehand.
Upon seeing Souna and Arthas enter, several young men and women stood up and greeted them.
Souna nodded lightly, then pushed Arthas forward.
"This is your new companion, and my brother, Shitori Arthas."
Arthas choked slightly at Souna's introduction, offering a wry smile.
It seemed Souna intended to make his status as her brother widely known.
As Souna introduced Arthas, the reactions of those present varied. A woman with glasses and long black hair, appearing calm and intellectual, glanced at Arthas with a hint of appraisal. Several girls stared at him curiously.
Only the lone male in the room showed a fleeting moment of discomfort, quickly regaining his composure.
This brief moment of discomfort didn't escape Arthas's notice. He observed the man and detected a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
Jealousy?
Could it be because…
Arthas thought, glancing at Souna. The reason was obvious.
An excellent mistress, with the noble status of a sister to one of the Four Great Satan Rulers—unattainable, yet inspiring fantasy.
But what did that have to do with him? He was her brother, not her boyfriend.
Arthas chuckled, shaking his head, unconcerned. The man's jealousy and hostility were faint; it was only natural.
After all, they would be working together as familiars.
As Souna had said… like family?
