"Which is not confirmed since he is too affectionate to his sister to let her go like that,"
Tsubaki said, delivering the final blow. "In fact, she will have to find excuses for her brother to try and lynch Issei-san."
"Speaking of which," I admitted with a brief flinch at that thought. "I believe I should ask Issei if he too needs some advice on that predicament.
I know he is panicking right now because of dinnertime."
"Probably," Asia said while nodding, a small smile appearing on her face in that comment.
"Still, I believe I've to also ask this. By being 'myself', you mean that I should… not give it too much weight or-"
"It means you have to handle this with maturity. You have to keep yourself in a situation you can handle smoothly and make a good impression from, and then you try and… not make this a horrible dinner for Issei by allowing Rias to coerce you to pull at him," I explained some more.
"While looking good with his parents is nice and all, in the end it's Ise that has to make the last call. And if he is shoved and pushed around, then he will be less inclined to make that call at all."
It was the issue that was behind the lengthy and troublesome routes many girls had to go through to beat fellow 'harem contenders'.
It was nothing new, but it was also something that could be dealt with so easily if someone actually paid attention to how serious relationships work like.
Still, I was feeling rather sure Asia wasn't going to make any mistakes with how much I was putting on making it clear to her how important it was for her success that she played it safe and… played her cards at the right time.
No rush, she wasn't going to lose much if she ended up giving too little out to make any impressions.
At least she lived with her prospective boyfriend's parents, and she can make a good impression everyday by helping Ise's mother around the house.
With that situation finally sorted, the blonde happily left the room with a bright smile. And I was given a strong realization that some of the girls were giving me quite an intense look.
A look I was familiar with, but I genuinely hoped wasn't what I believed it being. None of them make any attempt, and I was given a chance to get through the paperwork and make my way back home.
Another normal day went smoothly, I was more than ready to enjoy the plans for the rest of the afternoon and night, but I soon discovered that someone else had other interests.
Someone that I didn't mind having around but that I found awkward since she would then come to the house with someone else on tow.
Someone that had a bone to pick with…
"Kimi-chan, there is no need to hiss at Tiamat-san," I muttered, trying to calm down the irked drake by caressing her head.
Sadly for me, I should've expected for this kind of friction to happen when Ingvild asked if she could visit and stay for the night.
The girl was someone I trusted to not do anything too crazy, but I couldn't help but find her bodyguard particularly… antagonistic with my familiar.
"Ah, she behaves like a stupid cat," The older dragon commented smugly, trying to appear superior to Kimiko from the very beginning of that visit.
"T-Tiamat," The young Leviathan chided softly, trying to defuse the situation.
"And you are a hag."
"Kimi-chan, that's not… something nice to say."
"What's that supposed to mean!?" The blue-haired woman exclaimed at me, quickly noticing that I didn't say it wasn't true.
I mean, she was old enough to be a hag, and while she was using a form that made her look like a young woman, a befitting look from her age alone would be of an elderly lady.
Kunou merely giggled at the exchange, taking immense entertainment at the bickering despite the fact she was hearing just half of the conversation since Kimiko was still limited to her own means to communicate her thoughts.
The kitsune was just into the amusing scenes where banter would be focal, which is why I decided to introduce her to Blackadder of all comedies series available.
"How about you two stop attacking each other for once? At least hold back considering that we're trying to enjoy dinner together,"
I offered tensely, and I found an agreeing nod from the young Devil as we both kept on driving the two individuals to a temporary truce.
It was a tough situation that took a while to solve, but it eventually ended up getting solved much to my immense relief.
Despite the early bumps of this unexpected visit, the rest of the afternoon went properly as the two dragons decided to ignore each other to avoid senseless fights between each other.
Blackadder seemed to be a good enough factor in quenching any interest from both in making a riot out of this situation, and I was glad that everyone seemed to appreciate the sharp and witty comedy spearheaded by Rowan Atkinson.
It was truly a shame that many individuals nowadays knew him for his roles as Mr. Bean and Johnny English.
But I could tell it was less unpleasant than it was for Hugh Laurie for being known only for his role as Gregory House when he had a greater standing as a Comedian back in Great Britain.
The gags and the mirthful scenes introduced by the dynamic duo of Blackadder and Baldrick across ages from Medieval times up to the Great War were enough to steal chuckles and giggles out of the small group watching the screen of the TV.
Despite the series being almost thirty years old, it still held well after so much time had gone by.
I decided to start this session of pure comedy from the very beginning, and so the pure essence of the show was displayed in its true glory for everyone to see.
