* From the CourtOfTheGods, Johnson of the Big Five [[Hypocrite reportedly claimed to feel for Keinichi\'s plight]], but since it was an [[CelestialBureaucracy administrative problem]] it was still out of his hands - at least until the administration filed their decision, at which time Keinichi could enter an appeal.

Finding himself [[GenreBlindness suddenly alone in the room]], Keinichi suffered two whole stanzas of it before, trembling and pasty gray, managing to drag himself out and vomit on the corridor. The last thing he heard before passing out was \\\"and stay out, or I\\\'ll call the [[StatusQuoIsGod Status Quo]] and let him handle it HIS way\\\"!
* Two days later Rias Gremory came indignantly to speak with Keinichi, said that there were motions to remove her positions, giving one of them to Miu, and declared that she wouldn\\\'t relinquish godhood no matter what; furthermore she had reasons to believe that the CouncilOfShadows was politically manipulating the whole affair. Unfortunately, with the Pantheon\\\'s current troubles and its surfeit of [[SmugSnake smug snakes]], [[TheTrickster tricksters]], [[MagnificentBastard magnificent bastards]] and [[TheChessmaster chessmasters]] it was nigh impossible to know precisely who was behind it, whether the target was Rias herself, Keinichi, Issei, Miu, one of their supporters, someone else and/or aimed at achieving something completely different, and that whatever action they took to counter the situation without more information (or possibly even attempting to acquire such information) would almost certainly just [[XanatosGambit benefit the plotters anyway]]. Nevertheless, being a [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] herself, Rias felt [[RantInducingSlight insulted that such tricks would be tried on her]] - and [[ThisMeansWar somebody was going to pay]]. In the meanwhile, she suggested that Keinishi should have a talk with his friend Kurama.
* Hyodo Issei, who had tagged along, commiserated with Keinichi\\\'s solitude but warned that in a worst case scenario he wouldn\\\'t allow Rias to be taken away from him either, and hoped that he wouldn\\\'t be forced to give their enemies the pleasure of having him destroy Keinichi in order to save Rias. Still, he declared his full confidence in Rias\\\' abilities, and that he expected her to call in some favors.
* Even before the whole ascension debacle blew open Keinishi had already firmed a friendship with Kurama, and was frequently seen tending Kurama\\\'s garden. When asked directly, [[HonestyIsTheBestPolicy Kurama admitted]] that while the blocks at Miu\\\'s ascension and the attack on Rias\\\' divinity claim [[GambitPileup weren\\\'t of his doing]], it was he who manipulated the CelestialBureaucracy into keeping Keinishi\\\'s resignation at the bottom of their \\\"to do\\\" pile. According to him, the situation is extremely dangerous (but [[GambitIndex far too complicated to explain]]), he has [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil precious few allies]] in the CouncilOfShadows, and had to [[BatmanGambit manipulate Keinichi into being forced to create a ruckus]], [[WoundedGazelleWarcry gaining the sympathy of powerful deities]] as he can make friends with such extreme ease... at which point Keinichi dazedly went off to water his orchids.
