Chapter 30: Bravado
"So I should observe without interfering...?" asked Vahn, supporting Rias's hips as she slowly and rhythmically rolled her lower body back and forth, affirming, "That's right," before explaining, "It was wrong of me to try and place Asia into a position to grow closer to you without considering Issei's feelings, but what you're doing isn't much different. Issei has to learn how to speak and interact with girls on his own if he's to achieve his aspiration of a large harem, and Asia needs to be permitted to make decisions about her own life and future if she is to be unburdened by her past. Placing her in circumstances that benefit Issei and continually reinforcing how much he likes her places her under substantial pressure and could lead to them becoming a couple because she pities with or feels obligated to date him, not because she genuinely likes him..."
"I'll be more careful..." responded Vahn, making a mental note not to trust everything he sourced from the internet. Issei's previous reference to the Bro Code had compelled him to look into it, but in retrospect, the code's tenets were significantly male-centric and didn't lend much consideration to the feelings of a Bro's prospective partners...

Though it was a Sunday and everyone had been given the day off, Issei arrived at the club room even earlier than he would have for classes, his expression a relieved smile when he entered the room and found Vahn on one sofa, reading Manga with Koneko borrowing his lap, and Asia seated on the opposite, reviewing the course materials for her future classes.
Noticing someone enter the room, Asia looked over, a smile blossoming across her face as she stated, "Oh, good morning, Issei-san. What brings you here this early?"
