Actually, Bokue had sensed something was wrong the moment familiar magical fluctuations rippled overhead. He just hadn't expected Kuroka to arrive so suddenly, without warning, and from such a tricky angle.
The instant Kuroka appeared from the teleportation circle, Bokue vanished from his seat.
The fork he'd been holding floated in midair without his hand's support, while the youth's form had already appeared beside Kuroka above.
Bokue caught the suddenly-spawned cat-eared girl in his embrace before vanishing again. When he reappeared, he was back in his original seat, smoothly catching the fork before it could start falling.
The entire process took less than a tenth of a second. Setting Liala aside, from Asagi's perspective, the youth seemed to have suddenly adopted Dragon Ball animation style—blurring with Dragon Ball-style super-speed combat for an instant before a kimono-clad cat girl appeared in his arms.
"This... wait, who are you now?!"
Finally rescuing her brain from the sudden intrusion and sorting her thoughts, Asagi instantly bristled.
What was this, everyone bullying her for being too easygoing first thing in the morning?! Bad enough waking up with one of Bokue's friends suddenly in bed, now a cat-eared girl literally spawned in and was sitting in her boyfriend's lap?!
Like she didn't exist!
"Hmm~ Are you asking me? Big Sister here wants to know too—who's this blonde little girl, nya? And why is Lady Liala here too, nya?"
Realizing outsiders were present, Kuroka immediately dropped her usual free-spirited manner when alone with Bokue. Her exquisite face's smile faded slightly, her tail emerging from beneath the kimono curling into a question mark shape in the air.
"Aha, it's been a while, Miss Kuroka."
Liala waved first with a smile. After all, they were comrades who'd fought the Council of Cardinals together in the Northern Territory, and especially given her particularly intimate relationship with Bokue, she greeted her quite politely.
"I'm here purely by coincidence. With the Northern Territory's situation gradually stabilizing, I felt comfortable leaving everything to Leo-chan to manage. With nothing else to do, I came to the human world planning to travel a bit. I just told Bokue-kun about this earlier."
"Oh, I see..."
Kuroka nodded in understanding.
But before she could continue, the blonde girl beside her couldn't take it anymore and completely exploded.
"What do you mean 'I see'?! See nothing! Asking who I am—why don't you say who you are first? Suddenly appearing in my house and sitting on my boyfriend—who are you?!"
"Boy... friend?"
Kuroka tilted her head, touching her finger to her lip as she carefully chewed over those three words, the blonde girl's face reflected in her narrowed golden vertical pupils.
She wasn't deliberately releasing pressure, not even a ripple of magical power around her, but Asagi felt an enormous danger approaching.
Like being given an appraising glance by nature's apex predator.
After all, all of Kuroka's cuteness, playfulness, even silliness was reserved for Bokue alone.
In front of him, she was a lewd kitty whose entire mind was focused on "expanding the clan."
But before others, she was Kuroka—a [Transcendent] standing godlike above billions of living beings.
Just as the atmosphere at the table was becoming delicate, and Bokue was about to intervene, Kuroka sitting in his lap suddenly exclaimed, hammering her fist into her palm in realization.
"Big Sister gets it now, nya! No wonder you looked familiar—you're that Asagi Aiba, nya?"
"It's Asagi Aiba, not Asagi Aiba-nya!"
The terrifying feeling from before seemed like an illusion as the blonde girl's mouth twitched.
"And how do you know my name?"
"How do I know? Because Bokue told me ages ago, nya~"
Finally understanding the current situation, Kuroka relaxed in Bokue's lap and began licking her paws right in front of the other two girls at the table.
"Maybe six or seven years ago? Anyway, Big Sister was still traveling with Bokue then. We chatted a bit about 'childhood friends,' and that's when I learned one of Bokue's childhood friends was named Asagi Aiba."
So that's how it was...
Asagi's feelings suddenly became complicated.
She was happy that Bokue had never forgotten her all these years, even chatting about her with new acquaintances.
But she also felt regret—regret that she hadn't been able to "travel" with Bokue then, leading to their ten-year separation.
"Huhuhu~ But don't be too sad, because you never had any chance anyway, nya,"
"...What?"
Asagi was stunned by the cat-eared girl's zero-frame taunt.
Kuroka continued licking her paw, humming: "Ever heard the saying 'childhood friends can't beat heaven-sent'? Bokue's first time was taken by Big Sister when he was ten years old, nya~"
T-ten years old?!
The blonde girl was thoroughly shocked by this data.
Normally at that age, those functions shouldn't even work yet?!
"Hmm, thinking back, Bokue was so small then, only coming up to about here on Big Sister's chest."
Kuroka stopped licking her paw, her face showing reminiscence of those glorious past days.
"Back then, Bokue would never stop until Big Sister's belly was swollen, and afterward, he'd cling on reluctantly, not wanting to let go..."
"Those details aren't necessary!"
Asagi couldn't take it anymore.
Really now, why tell her such detailed things?!
"I find it quite interesting though."
Liala across the table propped her cheek on one hand with a smile, looking exactly like a melon-eating spectator enjoying the show.
Of course, provided you ignored her other hand under the table, currently pressing against her lower abdomen through her thin dress, moving slightly as if measuring something.
If it were her with little Bokue-kun making her belly all swollen...
As she thought about it, moisture began seeping beneath Liala's dress.
Seeing the three girls seemingly reaching some kind of consensus, Bokue cleared his throat as a reminder:
"So Kuroka, why did you suddenly come over? Did something happen in the Underworld?"
"Something happen? No?"
The lewd cat girl, who'd been completely focused on bragging about her glorious achievements and forgotten her actual business, blinked blankly twice before suddenly remembering she hadn't mentioned her reason for coming at all.
"Oh, now that you mention it, Bokue, I remember—right... let's conquer Itogami Island together before Rias and the others arrive!"
