Private talk with Xenovia

The next day, you met Rias at the club room.

She gave you a meaningful look before started to talk: "Lord Phenex, the head of Phenex Clan, has passed away yesterday. The official reason is that he couldn't bear the loss of his only son. What do you think?"

"Hm, I can only say I feel pity for them."

"Do you want to say you're unrelated to this?"

"Of course not. I'm the one who killed Riser after all."

"Not only Lord Phenex is a strong Devil, but he also comes from a clan which is famous with the epithet 'Immortal Devils'. Do you believe he would pass away by such a trivial reason?"

"I don't know. The fatherhood may cause a miracle. What about you? I killed Riser because of you. You're responsible for this too."

Rias stared at your face, tried to find the slightest sign of lying, but it's futile. She changed the subject to avoid your question: "Have you met the two girls from the Church?"

"Yes. I'm surprised that you would help them."

"As they said, there is someone who is hunting the seven Excalibur swords. My Knight Yuuto is the bearer of one of them. If he meets danger I can't stay out of this."

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Oh, did I need to do that? I thought that they're also from the Church, so you already knew."

Seeing the cunning look in her eyes, you lost interest to continue this conservation: "Where are they now?"

"They lived in the same place with Yuuto, a hotel belonged to Gremory Clan. Any problem?"

You handed a piece of paper to Rias: "Please tell the girl called Xenovia that I want to meet her in the address on this note."

You met Xenovia outside the sports dorm.

"Why do you call me here?"

"This box was left in my place yesterday. I believe that it belongs to you."

Her face blushed: "You're... you're wrong. This... this box is not mine."

"Oh, is it? Then this box must belong to Irina. Where can I find her?"

You teased her a bit. In fact, you have used your ability to confirm the owner of the box.

"No... Yes, it must belong to Irina! Give it to me! I'll give back to her! Anyway, do you open it?"

"I swear to God that I haven't opened it." Technically, you didn't lie. You didn't open the box but used Mind's Eyes to see what's inside.

When Xenovia reached out to grab the box...

"Oops, my hand slipped."

The box fell on the ground and exposed its content: a long stack of condoms.

"Oh, what is this? Is it...?"

Before you finished the sentence, Xenovia's hand quickly covered your mouth: "Can we have a private talk?"
