Ethan couldn't guarantee others, but he was certain that no one in the Occult Research Club would dislike such a kind and adorable little nun.
Pushing open the club room door, the entire Occult Research Club was present, despite it being spring break, due to the Azazel situation.
Rias sat on the sofa, holding a cup of black tea, lost in thought. She didn't even notice Ethan entering.
"President."
"Oh, it's Akira... how did the investigation go?"
Hearing the voice, Rias looked up. Her gaze lingered for a moment on Asia, who was wearing a nun's habit. Sensing the little nun's nervousness, she consciously shifted her attention away.
At this point, the others also noticed the blonde little nun. Except for Yuuto Kiba and Yuma Amano, who were training, everyone curiously looked at Asia, who was clutching Ethan's coat, only showing half of her body.
Perhaps stimulated by Azazel's appearance, Yuma Amano had, for the first time in a long while, started training maniacally.
Yuuto Kiba, who also had things weighing on his mind, was a training enthusiast. The two immediately hit it off, practicing constantly through sparring whenever they had free time.
After Ethan asked Kalawarner to notify them, he introduced the nervous blonde little nun to everyone.
He gave Asia an encouraging look, held her pure white little hand, and walked to the center of the club room.
"Asia, say hello to everyone."
"H-Hello everyone, I'm Asia Argento. I'm sixteen years old, and currently a nun..."
Although Akeno Himejima and the others had somewhat guessed based on Asia's attire, hearing the word 'nun' still made them instinctively tense up.
Compared to the Fallen Angels, the relationship between the Church and Devils was much worse, especially the Exorcist organizations within the Church, which were absolute mortal enemies with Devils in the human world.
After Asia introduced herself, Ethan introduced Rias and the others to her. Just as he finished, Kalawarner, Yuma Amano, and Yuuto Kiba returned.
After completing the introductions, he turned to Rias and said, "President, I want Asia to join us."
"Akira, Azazel's peace treaty isn't finalized, and the Church and we are..."
Rias set down her teacup, not finishing her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Ethan naturally knew this. He wasn't some single-minded fool like Issei Hyoudou, who would risk his life to save the little nun, regardless of Rias's difficulties, even when his own power was insufficient.
If Rias hadn't been soft-hearted, or rather, hadn't wanted to lose a servant who occupied all the Pawn slots, and was forced to assist in Asia's rescue, Issei Hyoudou would have had no chance, no matter how much Yuma Amano underestimated him.
"President, Asia has already been expelled by the Church. She came to seek refuge with the Fallen Angels this time."
He explained, "And she has no magical abilities at all, is an orphan, and most importantly, she possesses a Sacred Gear. It's a healing type, and it's extremely powerful."
Ethan didn't mention the name of the Sacred Gear or Asia's magical aptitude. These were things he shouldn't know and Rias needed to test herself.
He only needed to appeal to Rias's appreciation for talent. Especially with the pressure from her family and the shortage of servants, Rias couldn't help but be tempted by the blonde little nun.
Indeed, upon hearing "healing Sacred Gear," Rias's beautiful eyes lit up. She gently stroked the ends of her crimson hair.
When Ethan pushed the door open, she was thinking about where to find potential servants with decent character. The pressure from her family was mounting, and having too few servants would be a significant disadvantage for the Rating Games.
Rias looked at Ethan, about to say something, when she suddenly noticed his gaze constantly shifting between the little nun and Koneko Toujou.
The moment their eyes met, she silently understood the meaning Ethan was trying to convey. The words on the tip of her tongue changed to, "Koneko, why don't you take Asia out to get something to eat? It's almost lunchtime, and Asia hasn't eaten yet, has she?"
"N-No need, I'm not hungry..."
The blonde little nun quickly waved her hand to refuse. Although she hadn't eaten for over ten hours, she felt too shy to accept.
But upon hearing the mention of food, the white-haired loli's actions were decisive. Ignoring Asia's refusal, she simply dragged the girl out.
Looking at Koneko Toujou's figure, which was even more slender and petite than her own, Asia tried to struggle, but found her resistance had no effect whatsoever.
Her meager strength was practically nonexistent to Koneko.
"Eh—"
The blonde little nun let out a weak cry of distress as she was dragged away by the white-haired loli.
"Akira, why did you send Asia away?" Rias asked once the two lolis were out of earshot.
"President, this is the result of my investigation."
Ethan explained his encounter with Asia, focusing on Freed's words.
He successfully managed to lower Rias and the others' opinion of Azazel again, but Rias still keenly picked up on a key detail.
"No wonder that child is so dependent on you..."
Rias teased, "You're getting very skilled at charming girls. If I saw someone risking their life for me, I'd probably feel an affection for them too."
Ethan gave an awkward smile. "Asia is innocent but not stupid. She's probably already figured it out."
"Mhm, I like that child, too."
Rias nodded. "If it's truly as you say, I can certainly make her my servant."
"Mhm. However, Asia has been a nun since childhood. She might not immediately accept being reincarnated as a Devil."
Ethan suggested, "I haven't brought up the reincarnation yet. I want her to interact with everyone for a while, and once she gets used to her new life and grows closer to everyone, then we can bring it up."
Rias thought for a moment and agreed that Ethan's proposal made a lot of sense. "Asia is an orphan. I can directly arrange an identity for her. She can enroll in the academy as a transfer student with Yuma and the others when the semester starts. As for accommodations..."
Rias looked at Ethan. She originally intended to have Asia live with him, but thinking of the nightly activities at the Takamine residence, she decided it was better to keep the little nun close to her.
"Akeno, arrange a villa, preferably close to the academy."
Rias then looked at Yuma Amano's trio. "Yuma, you three don't have a permanent residence either, do you? You can move in together."
Yuma Amano's trio was A-class, and Rias hadn't paid much attention to their daily living arrangements, as they spent most of their time at Kuoh Academy anyway.
With the growing number of servants, the Occult Research Club building was starting to feel a bit small. She and Akeno Himejima were also planning to move into the villa.
"Yuuto, you should come too."
Rias decided to bring all her servants together. Aside from Ethan, none of them had family in the human world.
In fact, Ethan didn't either, as his biological parents were missing, and he had no blood relatives.
Yuuto Kiba hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ethan twice for some reason and asked, "Will Akira be moving in?"
"Akira won't be joining us. I don't want to hear those salacious sounds every night. I still want to get a good night's rest."
Rias glanced at Ethan, her tone tinged with playful blame.
Hearing Rias invite Yuuto Kiba, Ethan was about to try and plead his case, but now he could only rub his nose and look up at the ceiling, adopting a posture that suggested, You all talk, this has nothing to do with me.
Yuuto Kiba let out a sigh of relief and chuckled heartily. "In that case, I'll move in too."
A few black lines appeared on Ethan's forehead. He could understand a woman saying that, but what was a man thinking?
Suddenly, seeing Yuuto Kiba's blonde hair, he thought of another possibility...
No way. Based on his past memories and their interactions, Yuuto Kiba didn't give Ethan the slightest impression of being a cuckold-inducing blonde (Yellow Hair).
But better safe than sorry. Allowing a handsome blonde man to move into a villa full of beautiful girls, combined with the Cuckold Template clinging to him, Ethan couldn't help but be suspicious.
He stared intently at Yuuto Kiba, a feeling of murder starting to brew in his heart.
"Kiba, do you have some kind of issue with me, or perhaps... some bad intentions?"
