After school, Issei found himself lazing around Sona's house with Miyu and Sona. Well, Miyu was reading another heavy paper while Sona was watching them. Hm?

"What's up, Sona-san? Why are you looking like that?"

With a nervous gulp that was so unlike her, Sona looked at them in the eyes. "Ise-san... Miyu-san... I think it's time I bring up that matter again now that we've settled the problem with Shirou-san and the Class Card."

"'That?'" Issei tilted his head in confusion while Miyu let out a simple 'ah.'

"What, Miyu?"

She only looked at him with a disappointed stare. "It's not my place because it's between the two of you. I'm honestly disappointed that you don't remember, but well... Ise is Ise."

"Ise-san. I want you to be my first Peerage member." Sona stated clearly, without any hesitation.

"Oh! That!" Issei clapped his hand, remembering that time Sona asked him about it. "Sure."

Sona let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, Ise-san. I'm really happy. We'll do the conversion later. What about you, Miyu-san?"

"...I promised to answer, didn't I?" Miyu smiled bitterly. The truth was, she still did not want to choose between Sona or her brother. Even knowing he was safe, turning into a Devil would see her outlast his lifespan.

"I will reiterate that I will accept anything for your answer," Sona replied, her expression tense.

"Can we talk to Onii-chan first? I have many things that I want to tell him, and you guys being there will help me immensely."

Sona and Issei looked at each other. "Of course, you can. It's your decision."

"Yep. Don't let my decision sway you. And besides, whatever your answer is, you're always gonna be welcomed with us, Miyu," Issei reassured her with a grin.

They immediately went to the hotel that Serafall owned, where Shirou had permanent residence.

"Excuse me, is Emiya Shirou from room 0202 in?" Sona asked the receptionist.

"Ah, Shirou-kun? Yes, he had just been back from school. Who would like to meet him?" The receptionist asked.

'-kun?' Issei narrowed his eyes. Could it be that his Aniki had captured a girl's heart? And a mature lady to boot! He wanted to know what was Shirou's secret, damn it!

"Thank you. We're visiting because his little sister wants to talk."

The receptionist's hand stopped moving above the keyboard. "Little sister?! Oh my, you're so cute!"

She stood up and patted Sona's head.

"Um, lady, that one is Serafall-san's little sister. Shirou-aniki's little sister is Miyu here." Issei said, holding back a laugh.

"S-Serafall-sama's!? Oh my, I'm sorry. Might you three be Sona-chan, Ise-kun, and Miyu-chan, then?"

Sona nodded, a frown on her lips because her hair was messy from the mistaken identity. "Correct. While I'm not petty, please don't do it again."

"R-Right!" The receptionist typed some things before handing them three keycards with a big 0301, 0302, and 0303 in the middle.

"The three of you get your own room, courtesy of Serafall-sama. It's also a permanent residence like Shirou-kun," she explained the keycards to the three. "Breakfast starts at 7 and ends at 9. Lunch begins at 11 and ends at 1. Dinner from 7 until 10 in the evening. If you need anything, you can just request it from us. Room service is free."

"Why aren't we on the same floor with Aniki?" Issei asked when he got one of the keycards.

"That's actually Serafall-sama's request. I also will call Shirou-kun to expect the three of you later. Thank you," the receptionist bowed to them.

"Yes. Thank you very much." Sona nodded and bowed.

The three entered the elevator and chose the second floor, where the room given to Shirou was. The elevator stopped with a loud 'ding' and opened itself seconds later.

"Come on, Miyu. You lead the way." Issei lightly pushed Miyu from behind.

They stopped in front of Shirou's room. Miyu steeled her resolve before knocking on the door. Not long after, the door was opened by Shirou, who was still in his uniform.

"Welcome. I heard from Kikuchi-san that you're coming. Come in."

They settled themselves on the sofa. It turned out that Shirou's room was one of the bigger rooms in the hotel. Basically, he was given at least a VIP room, if not more. It had a king-sized bed, a big comfy sofa, a fifty-inch television hanging on the wall, and a big balcony outside the glass slide door.

"I'm sorry that I can't receive you with snacks. I don't really stock on them, and dinner won't start for at least another few hours," Shirou admitted with a sheepish laugh while pouring water into four cups. "It's good to see you, Miyu. What can I help you guys with?"

Sona and Issei looked at Miyu, who looked a little anxious.

"Onii-chan..." she began. "Sona-san offered me a position in her Peerage. That means that she wanted me to become a Devil under her leadership."

Shirou took the cup and sipped.

"I see," he replied after putting it down. "I want you to follow your happiness, Miyu. If you can see it with Sona-san, I'd be glad if you do."

Miyu gripped the hem of her skirt. "...That's not the problem, Onii-chan..." She whispered softly.

"Shirou-san, what Miyu-san feared here is the fact that Devils lived up to ten thousand years. She feared that she would outlive you," Sona helped explain Miyu's anxiety.

Looking at Miyu, who looked at anything but him, Shirou let out a smile.

"Ah, I understand." Shirou rose from his seat and sat beside Miyu. He put a hand on her other shoulder and dragged her to a side embrace.

"Onii-chan..."

"There's no big brother in the world that does not want to be outlived by their younger sister," Shirou said gently. "Whether you outlive me for a year or tens of thousand years, as long as I can see you grow up and be happy, I don't mind."

"Onii-chan!" Miyu's hand sneaked onto his waist, and she embraced him fully. Her face was covered entirely by his chest. By the wet sensation, he guessed she was crying.

"You know, I was just thinking," Issei suddenly said. "Aniki, what's stopping you from joining us?"

He fired the question to Shirou, who only let out a smile.

"I'm not interested, Issei-kun. Though, thank you for the offer." Stroking Miyu's head softly, Shirou continued, "Aside from that, I don't want to wait for an eternity before reuniting with Kiritsugu and Sakura."

Sona sighed, "If you put it like that, I feel bad for even thinking about inviting Shirou-san."

Issei also let out a sigh. "I understand. But I'm still not happy that Miyu had to part with you in the future... There had to be something we can do to keep you with her, Aniki!"

There had to be a way. He understood, he accepted it, but he refused to back down from the situation. He would find a way to keep Shirou and Miyu together and fulfill their wishes simultaneously.

Releasing Miyu from him, Shirou motioned Issei to come to him. "Come here, Issei-kun."

Issei found himself being patted on the head.

"Ah! Stop it, Shirou-aniki!" He tried to shake the bigger hand on his head, but Shirou's strength simply outclassed him.

"Thank you for your consideration. If you have any more ideas, just tell us, okay? I promise I'll listen."

"Of course! I won't give up! For both your and Miyu's sake! Isn't that right, Sona-san?"

"Indeed. We've gone a long way to reunite the two of you. We'll go a long way to keep you together as long as possible. Because I know that will make Miyu the happiest. Let it be said that I am a compassionate leader," she injected a little pride at the end.

"I'm glad Miyu has the two of you. I'd pat your head too, Sona-san, but I'm afraid Serafall-san will somehow know and barges in instantly."

Sona chuckled. "Onee-sama isn't that powerful... is she?"

She suddenly thought that, yes, Serafall might be able to do something like that. As long as she hadn't denied it, nobody would ever know.

"She probably can do that with Ajuka-san's help."

"Let's hope that she hasn't asked him to do that yet."

Sona nodded furiously. "Yes! I hope so!"

"Onii-chan, thank you," Miyu said after wiping the tears off her face. "I have decided that I will join Sona-san."

"I'd be glad to have you with me, Miyu-san."

"Now that the matters have settled, would you want to wait here for dinner or go home?" Shirou offered.

"Hmm, Serafall-san gave us our own room, doesn't she? Why not check it out?" Issei asked the other two.

"There's no kitchen here... This is Hell for Onii-chan. I think we should invite him to dinner in our house and let him help Mother, Ise."

"I'm fine with either," Sona shrugged. "Though, I'd prefer to go home."

"Kitchen..."

"Oh, look, Aniki has a weird look on his face!" Issei pointed his finger at Shirou.

"...Is there even such thing as cooking withdrawal?" Sona spoke in disbelief.

"I think this decides it."

And so the four of them went to Issei's house to have dinner (and helped Issei's mom cook in Shirou's case.)

That night, the three were in Sona's room, continuing the discussion about their eventual conversion ritual into a Devil under Sona.

"Ise-san. I fully trust you. Therefore, I want you to be my Queen; my second in command, and my trusted partner at the same time." Sona brought a black Queen chess piece out of a different box than her usual chess piece.

"Objection!" Issei raised his arm and pointed it to the Queen piece on Sona's grip. "I don't wanna be a Queen!"

Sona's mouth opened in shock. "W-What?! But I want you to..."

"Nope. Never. Hard pass. I'm sorry, but I don't want to be a Queen."

"T-The Queen is the most vital piece! Just like in real chess, it has the advantages of every other piece in one! I trusted you; that's why I want you to have this!" Sona's arm moved randomly in midair, attempting to sway Issei to the allure of the Queen piece. She did not expect Issei to reject her offer of being the Queen.

"Sona-san, instead of panicking, just ask him why," Miyu interjected. "Ise. Why don't you want to be the Queen?"

"Because Queen is a specific title for girls, duh! Why would I want to be one? Imagine if they called me 'Queen Issei,' wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Sona and Miyu looked at each other for a second before Sona looked at Issei. "Ise-san, so you don't mind the responsibility of being my second in command and trusted partner?"

"Of course not. I'm happy that you trusted me, but no way I would wanna be a Queen."

Sona covered her face in embarrassment. She couldn't believe she panicked and didn't analyze the situation thoroughly. Issei was the simple-minded boy as usual. He rejected her not because he did not accept being her second; he did not want to be a Queen.

"I don't mind Issei being the second in command while I get the Queen," Miyu shrugged, but Sona shook her head.

"No. The Queen is also another face of the King of the Peerage. Sirzech Lucifer has a reputation, but half of it is because his Queen is Grayfia Lucifuge, who got the 'Strongest Queen' title. If I make you my Queen but Issei is second, the other Devil will outright mock you, Miyu-san. I like you too much to throw you into the wolves like that," she explained the importance of the position.

"Oh, then it's fine if I got the Bishop."

"Huh?" This time it was Issei who looked at Miyu, confused. "You want to add your magical reservoir when you could only use magic with Sapphire's help?"

"Why do you think I read so much science paper? I've made up my mind about what path I'm going to take." Miyu nodded to herself. "I will study magic and become proficient at it. You will never have to worry about your back anymore, Sona-san, because I will be there."

"You mean I'm left being the tank alone?!"

"Calm down, Ise-san. I'm sure I will recruit more frontline fighters in the future," Sona reassured Issei. "Okay, Miyu-san. I agree with you. Now back to Ise-san, what do we have to do about this?"

Miyu suddenly went to the computer and tried booting it up. However, she found her effort wasted because it was still broken from the time Sona practiced water magic inside the room.

"What's wrong, Miyu-san? The PC is still broken..."

"I want to verify something. Wait here. I will be back." Miyu left the room, presumably to go to her home, and used Gorou's computer.

"What was that about?" Issei asked Sona after Miyu left the two of them.

Ten minutes later, Miyu was back with a piece of paper.

"Look," she pointed out to the words written there. Apparently, it was a printed section of a Wikipedia article about the Queen chess piece.

"'In Sanskrit, it's called Mantri. In Arabic, it's called Vizier, of which both means minister,'" Sona read out loud. "Huh? Interesting. I never knew about this. In the Underworld, it's always referred to as Queen."

"The English Wikipedia has a table of what Queen is called in many languages, but I didn't print it. From my preliminary hypothesis, a deeply-rooted patrilineal former kingdom where the Queen couldn't hold powers called them with a variation of Minister or Vizier," Miyu continued.

"I see, so it's a societal habit, huh? How about it, Ise-san? Would you like to be my Vizier?"

"As long as it's not Queen. So, are we doing this now or...?"

Sona shook her head. "Onee-sama wants to see my first Peerage conversion. We probably will do it tomorrow in the underground lab."

"Perfect, we can go straight to test our new capabilities, then," Issei nodded.

"I suggest we don't, actually," Sona suddenly interjected. "Your body will need some adjustment period just to be safe. We can do a test the day after, how about it?"

Both Issei and Miyu nodded in agreement.

"Good. So Miyu-san will be my Bishop, and Ise-san will be my Vizier. I can't wait to make it official," Sona said with a smile on her face.

"Speaking of Vizier, Sona-san, please lend me a pen and paper. I'm gonna write something for Ajuka-san."

Curious, Sona gave Issei the two things he requested and saw the writing from behind.

"'Petition to start calling the Queen piece with the alternative, Vizier.' Huh?"

"Well, I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't want to be called a Queen... So might as well help them," Issei said with a shrug.

"I see..." Sona rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"Just let him be, Sona-san. The worst thing Ajuka-san can do is humor him and make it official. Nothing harmful," Miyu also shrugged.

"Yes... probably harmless," Sona finally relented and let Issei do his thing.

(A few months later, the gossip about the secretly-built Vizier piece would shake the Underworld and the Rating Game scene to the core.

Of course, it was all misunderstanding. But it was a story for another time.)

Tohsaka Rin was standing inside her Master Zelretch's room with two luggage bags beneath her. Besides her, her rival Luviagelita Edelfelt was also the same, although she had more luggage. Probably some useless things she brought to flaunt her status, Rin thought to herself.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes."

"I am."

Both Luvia and her answered. Zelretch nodded and suddenly came out a portal from beside him.

"Yo, Old Man. Yesterday, you told me to open at this time. Did I get it right?" A muscular punk suddenly entered the view from inside the portal.

"Perfect timing. It would take a much longer time if I were the one opening the portal. Come on, Tohsaka, Edelfelt. After you," Zelretch gestured to the portal.

Rin and Luvia looked at each other. Both of them wanted to be the ones who entered first for bragging rights, but none of them were courageous enough after the last time both entered the portal.

A freaking dragon!

A being that had not existed since time immemorial was there!

She theorized that it was another world where the connection to the Reverse Side of the World was open, but she threw the theory away because that meant Gaia and Alaya wouldn't interfere in that world. It was impossible not to have Gaia's influence in a world because it was the will of the world.

"Is there something wrong?"

"N-No, I'll go," Rin tried to hide her nervousness.

"Fufu, if you are such a coward, then this Luviagelita Edelfelt shall be the one who goes first," her rival pointed at herself.

"As if! If you're not a coward, you won't hesitate before I say I'll go! I'm going first!"

"No, I will!"

"No, I-"

The two stopped bickering because both Ruby and Sapphire hit them in the back of the head.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

"Grand Master, just drag them both inside," Ruby pleaded.

"Kehahaha! This is your students?" The punk guy asked Zelretch.

"They're quite... passionate."

"A weird way to say childish. Even the kids back home were more mature than them."

That attack went straight to her heart.

She wasn't childish, okay! She just couldn't accept Edelfelt looking down on her!

"Come," Zelretch commanded the two students, and they couldn't help but nod and walk subduedly.

"Master Zelretch, I remember you gave us protection last time. However, I haven't seen you put us under another today," Rin suddenly pointed out before the portal.

"I asked Red here to make a protective tunnel that you can use without protection."

Rin didn't reply back as the Magician answered her question. They entered the portal, and Rin couldn't help but observe the surroundings as they walked through the transparent tunnel. Myriad of colors mixed together and formed chaotic but, at the same time, orderly formations. It was such a contradiction that she couldn't hold back her gasp of fascination.

She was too nervous to properly observe the last time they were here. The fact that the environment was very hostile didn't help. But now, she was prepared. She'd do anything to fulfill the mission objective!

After fifteen minutes of walking, they stopped because a little girl was standing on their path.

"Baka Red."

"Yo, Second Rate," the punk grinned at the little girl. "Here's today's luggage. They'll come back next month."

The little girl floated around them, inspecting their face.

"Pass."

Rin wondered what she was looking for when she inspected them.

The punk guy laughed before shooing away the little girl, who only clicked her tongue and went away.

Oh well, at least a little girl was better than a gigantic dragon.

"Kehahaha! I can turn myself into my dragon form if you want."

...Did she say that out loud? Wait, before that, what did the punk just say?!

"What's wrong?" He challenged.

Rin furiously shook her head. She did not want to anger the gigantic dragon, who apparently could turn into human form in front of her.

"Don't tease my student, Red."

"Tch, you're taking out all the fun, Old Man."

No wonder this guy was very casual towards Master Zelretch. He was probably as strong as him!

The dragon in the human form opened another portal. "Here, you've arrived."

Zelretch led the way as he entered the portal. Rin and Luvia soon followed, finding themselves inside a huge room.

Soon, the portal behind them was closed as the punk dragon came out of it.

"Welcome to our world," a beauty in an office lady uniform greeted them. "My name is Serafall Leviathan. Good day to you, Great Red-sama, Schweinorg-sama."

"G-Good Afternoon," Rin replied, followed by Luvia doing the same.

Zelretch looked around, trying to find something. "I didn't see Issei-kun and the rest."

"They're on the way."

"I see. Well, Edelfelt, Tohsaka. You're going to stay here for one month at the least. I'll come back in one month, and you can decide whether to stay or not by then. Your guide for the rest of your stay will be Issei-kun and the girls."

Luvia and Rin nodded.

"Then I'm off," Zelretch saluted Serafall.

"Let's fucking goooo!" The redheaded punk went wild and opened another portal. He then entered it, followed by Zelretch.

When the portal closed itself, Serafall addressed them again.

"Please have a seat. Ise-kun and the rest will come soon. I have prepared some snacks."

Rin and Luvia looked at each other before they took a seat. Of course, no way she would take a seat close to Luvia.

After five minutes of waiting, The elevator door opened.

"Serafall-san! We're here!"

"Good Afternoon, Onee-sama."

"Good Afternoon."

What came out were three kids looking excited about something.

Was this a joke by their master, after all? To be foisted to three little kids instead of an adult.

"Ah, Ise-kun! Come here!" Serafall greeted the children and gestured for them to come.

Rin and Luvia's luggage suddenly moved and opened itself. Ruby and Sapphire came out and flew toward the children from inside them.

"Little So-taaaaan!"

"It's been a while, Miyu-sama, Issei-sama, Sona-sama."

Unfortunately for Ruby, the target of her hug dodged and let her hit the wall. Sapphire flew into Miyu's opened hands as she greeted them.

"Why don't you introduce yourself, guys? The two women here are Schweinorg-sama's esteemed students. Please treat them well."

Apparently, they really were letting a bunch of kids handle people from another world.

"It's nice to meet you, Onee-sans. My name is Issei!" He bowed toward the two of them. "These two here are Miyu and Sona!"

"Pleasure," Sona curtsied. A sign of noble upbringing, maybe?

"Nice to meet you," the last girl, Miyu, bowed her head.

Luvia boastfully introduced herself. "Ohohoho, it's nice to meet you. I'm Luviagelita Edelfelt, heiress to the Edelfelt family of Magus."

"Uooohhhh!" Issei shouted excitedly. "We got a real-life blonde drill-haired ohoho ojou-sama here!"

Not wanting to be overlooked, Rin also introduced herself.

"Tohsaka Rin," she flicked the end of her hair. "Nice to meet you."

Issei looked at her seriously. It wasn't a perverted leer, surprisingly enough.

"Hmm, I can't pinpoint her," Issei suddenly declared with a shrug. "Oh well, more interesting to get to know!"

"She's a short-tempered twin-tail tsundere, Issei-san," Ruby suddenly yapped from beside him.

What did she just say?!

"I can see that," he nodded to agree with Ruby.

"What did you just say, you useless stick!"

Sona let out a small chuckle. "I feel like Tohsaka-san and Ise-kun will get along great."

"I feel the same," Miyu joined, nodding in agreement.

"Oh right, Ruby, Sapphire. Did the Old Man reach any decision yet regarding the two of you?" Issei asked the two Kaleidosticks.

Ruby nodded, "Yes, he said to get Rin-san and Luvia-san's permission first. If they agree, then he will agree."

"Alright, then I'll ask them next month."

"Why not now, Ise?" Miyu asked him.

"So that they can see the true bonds between us, duh!"

Rin was observing the conversation, only understanding some of the talks. However, she was struck with a weird feeling when Issei said that. It was how easy he said it with such sincerity that made her feel strange.

"Oh my, Issei-san! To think that you've been charmed by this graceful me! I'm so moved!"

"Yeah, weirdly, I can't stand not having you around, Ruby."

"I can," Sona suddenly interjected. "The past few days are the most peaceful days I've had."

"Cruel! How cruel, So-tan! After all the things I've done for you..."

Everyone except the adults laughed.

It seriously made Rin feel strange, being there. It was as if she did not belong to such an atmosphere. She glanced at her rival, who also had a peculiar wistful look on her face.

"It's weird, isn't it?" Serafall suddenly addressed the two of them. "That they, despite the situation, can just make a laugh out of nothing."

Rin unconsciously nodded. If what Luvia showed and Serafall said was correct, then she wasn't the only one feeling weird about the situation.

"But that's the amazing thing about Ise-kun. I think your master wants you to learn something from him. That's why he put you up with Ise-kun and the girls."

Rin absorbed her words. Master Zelretch wanted them to learn something from the children. She glanced at Luvia, who also looked pensive.

"Oh right, first thing first, we should help Rin-san and Luviagelita-san settle, shouldn't we? Man, that's a mouthful name if I ever hear one." Issei asked Serafall after he finished joking around with his friends.

"That's right, Ise-kun. I've prepared a limo to send you guys to the hotel. I also have sent words to them, so you only need to give words to the receptionist," Serafall answered.

"Alright, let's go!" Issei punched the air. Was he going to be this boisterous all the time? She hoped she would have the energy to deal with him.

Rin looked at the two companions he had brought. "You deal with him every day?"

"We had to," Sona sighed as she fixed her glasses. She then gasped before going to Serafall to talk about something.

"She'll follow us later. Let's go," Miyu gestured for them to go with her.

Twenty minutes of limousine ride later, they arrived at the hotel where they would stay for the next month.

"Fufu, it's a luxurious place befitting for someone of my station," Luvia suddenly declared when they came out of the limo and saw the hotel building. "Sadly, I can't say the same for you, Tohsaka."

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"The fight gets old quick," Issei remarked. "Come on, Rin-san, Luviagelita-san. That's still a mouthful, damn it. Can I call you something shorter?"

"Ohoho, I shall give you permission to call me with just Luvia. Be proud!"

...Did he just manipulate Luvia into using her shortened name? Just like that? Scary, how scary!

"What's wrong, Tohsaka-san?" Sona looked at her, looking at Issei.

"I think I'm beginning to see why we're assigned to the three of you. He's quite a frightening boy."

Sona just sighed. "One of these days, his mouth is going to get him in trouble. I'm just here trying to mitigate that."

They went to the receptionist, who patted Miyu's head before processing their request.

"Alright, Serafall-sama has put a reservation in place. It's... rooms 0203 and 0204. Here's the keycard. Breakfast starts at 7 and ends at 9. Lunch begins at 11 and ends at 1. Dinner from 7 until 10 in the evening. If you need anything, you can just request it from us. Room service is free for the duration of your stay."

"Thank you," both Rin and Luvia said to the receptionist.

"Alright, since we've escorted you here, we'll be off. Tomorrow afternoon, we will be here and guide you to whatever you need."

Rin nodded. "How can we contact you?"

Issei opened his mouth before closing it and put his hand together, thinking.

"We don't have phones."

"You're right," Miyu realized.

"Maybe we can request it to Serafall-san?" Issei shrugged. "See you tomorrow, Rin-san, Luvia-san!"

The children left Rin gaping. They didn't answer her question. Eventually, she and Luvia decided to leave it for tomorrow and entered the elevator. They arrived on the second floor and found their respective rooms seconds later.

Before she could enter hers in 0203, the door of the room beside her opened, and someone came out.

"Oh, a longtime book, huh? It's rare to see it. Nice to meet you. I'm Emiya Shirou. We're going to be neighbors for a while. Please treat me well."

Rin opened her mouth in surprise. There might or might not be a squeak of a surprise coming out of it.

A tall, broad-shouldered, redheaded boy with a familiar face was greeting the two of them with a smile. Though there were patches of dark skin and white hair in there, it was undeniably someone she knew very well.

"E-E-Emiya-kuuun?!"

A/N: Was reviewing things when I stumbled upon the fact that for some fucking reason (probably comedic) Luvia was there when Shirou attempted to jump over the bar. It's true, check Chapter 14.5 of 2wei manga! Fortunately it doesn't change much. I'm with the assumption that Luvia only knows his look and not his name, and this was from Rin's perspective mainly, so her shout is actually a good place to end the chapter.

Yes, the Vizier/Queen joke has been in my mind since two years ago because in my country, it's commonly called Vizier/Minister rather than Queen. What's new is the possible (wrongly assumed) leak and its ramification in the Underworld. Can you imagine the riot and Ajuka's mysterious smile when he was interviewed?

Another important thing is Shirou. I know people want him to join Sona's Peerage. They fuckin went to another world and punch above their weight class to rescue him. Not to mention Gil said that they would lose Sona if it weren't for his intervention. After all that, Shirou won't join Sona? Heresy! But I honestly think he has made his choice and sacrifice for Miyu's happiness. Shirou's wish for Miyu to be happy was fulfilled. His ideals for justice was abandoned by going against the Ainsworth. Even Sakura died for him. Miyu didn't need him anymore (in his eyes). So there was no reason for him to accept. Of course, this is when our main character objected, and just like other shonen protagonists, he always will reach for the impossible or die trying. What will the answer Issei reached for this problem? Let's just see how this will play out. I hope you guys are not disappointed.
