The Limitless Curse (Rewrite taking over the original story)

A Few Days After the Battle with Kokabiel

The scene opens with a large group gathered beside a neglected, dirty pool. Rias, Sona, and their respective peerages stand together, observing the task at hand.

Rias:
"The school said we can use this pool as much as we want if we clean it up. So, everyone, let's work hard and make it shine!"

Most of the group responded with cheers of agreement. However, not everyone was enthusiastic. Sona and her Queen, Tsubaki, exchanged amused glances, while Issei—the self-proclaimed Red Dragon Emperor—stood off to the side with a lecherous grin. His thoughts were evidently preoccupied with visions of swimsuits rather than cleaning supplies.

The group set to work scrubbing and tidying the pool area. As the task progressed, Sona seemed to realize something, her expression thoughtful.

Sona:
"Rias."

Rias:
"Yes, Sona?"

Sona:
"I think we forgot to invite someone."

Rias blinked in confusion.
"Who? Everyone important is here. This is supposed to be a reward for our victory over Kokabiel. We're not inviting just anyone."

Sona and her peerage, minus Saji, stared at Rias, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief. They collectively thought: "She's doing this on purpose, right? She can't be this dense."

In a display of obliviousness, Rias tilted her head with a puzzled look.
"What? Why are you all looking at me like that? I didn't say anything wrong."

Before Sona could respond, Issei jumped in.
"Yeah, stop glaring at the President! Everyone's here. Let's just finish cleaning so we can celebrate. Oh, and Rias-senpai, I think I deserve a reward since I was the key to defeating Kokabiel!"

Sona's eyes narrowed, her usually calm demeanor slipping as irritation flickered across her face.

Sona:
"Issei, you deserve no such reward. You barely contributed to that battle. In fact, I'm going to bring the person who saved us—and defeated Kokabiel."

Without another word, Sona turned on her heel and began walking away, her peerage trailing behind her. Rias watched them go, confusion evident on her face, while Issei clenched his fists in frustration.

Scene Change: Kuoh Streets

Sona and her peerage walked briskly through the quiet streets of Kuoh. Sona's expression was a mixture of annoyance and determination.

Sona:
"I cannot believe Issei is trying to take credit for something he didn't do. But what frustrates me even more is that Rias allowed it."

Her peerage exchanged glances, surprised to see their King so worked up.

Tsubaki:
"Rias really needs to control her Pawn. His arrogance is going to get him killed one day."

Momo:
"Frankly, I wouldn't care if he dropped dead right now."

Momo Hanakai was a striking young woman with silky white hair and an athletic figure. Though typically calm and composed, she harbored a deep disdain for Issei, rooted in past encounters that she preferred not to revisit.

Ruruko:
"Honestly, I wouldn't mind putting him in his place myself."

Ruruko Nimura, a petite girl with brown hair tied into pigtails, had an unexpectedly fiery personality. Despite her delicate appearance, she had a reputation as a delinquent—one that few took seriously, much to her annoyance.
