<><><><>
With Morgan no longer interested in the throne and wanting to follow Roy, they had to choose a new ruler for Britain.
Morgan decided to pass the throne to her son, Gawain.
Although Gawain had disobeyed her several times, he was still her son.
Roy didn't care who became the king.
The coronation ceremony was held, and Gawain became the new ruler of Britain.
Having settled everything, Roy prepared to return to the world of High School DxD with everyone.
But first, he had to pay a visit to the Throne of Heroes.
Or rather, since Gaia and Alaya were now his servants, the Throne of Heroes was his property.
He was going there to "recruit" some new members for his peerage.
No one knew how many Heroic Spirits resided in the Throne of Heroes.
But Roy had made a promise to Mash, and he intended to keep it. After all, she had given herself to him. He couldn't let her down.
So, he went to the Throne of Heroes and "dealt with" Solomon and the 72 Demon Gods.
Then, he took all the female Heroic Spirits he found interesting.
...
Roy and his ever-growing entourage returned to the DxD world.
The sudden appearance of so many people in the room made it quite crowded.
And the unfamiliar auras in the castle quickly caught the attention of Rias and Sona.
They exchanged exasperated glances.
"Ara ara, it seems Roy has brought back even more girls," Akeno commented with a chuckle.
"I'm used to it by now," Rias sighed. She had grown accustomed to Roy's habit of bringing home new girls.
"Rias, are you worried about your position in Roy's heart?" Sona asked, her expression unreadable.
"O-Of course not!" Rias denied, a bit too quickly.
But she was indeed worried. There were so many girls in the house now, and they were all so exceptional.
"There's no need to worry, Rias. You should have more confidence in your charm," Sona said with a reassuring smile.
Rias paused, then smiled confidently. "You're right."
Her renewed confidence was captivating. Even Sona couldn't help but admire her.
Just then, Roy emerged from his room with Sakura and the others.
He entered the living room and met Rias and Sona's gazes, blushing slightly.
He then introduced everyone.
He had brought back so many girls that the castle was getting a bit crowded.
So, he decided to take some of the Heroic Spirits to the Lucifuge territory in the Underworld.
The family needed talented individuals to help manage their affairs, and these Heroic Spirits were all experts in their respective fields.
They could become pillars of the Lucifuge family.
After settling everyone in, Roy was summoned by Grayfia.
"Come with me, Roy," she said.
...
In a private room, Grayfia patted her lap, inviting Roy to lie down.
Roy was surprised. He hadn't expected Grayfia to offer him a lap pillow.
He happily accepted the offer.
"Roy, this trip must have been tiring for you," Grayfia said sympathetically.
She was referring to the fact that he had brought back so many powerful girls. It must have taken a lot of effort.
Roy thought about it. It hadn't been that tiring. His trip to the world of Fate had been more like a vacation.
He had simply picked up a few Servants along the way.
But it was true that it had been somewhat challenging.
After all, there were so many Servants with different personalities. It was difficult to "convince" them all to become his servants.
In the end, he had resorted to "forceful persuasion."
"It wasn't too bad," Roy replied vaguely.
He couldn't exactly say it was a piece of cake.
"With these girls helping out, my workload has decreased significantly. This is all thanks to you, Roy. So, tell me, what kind of reward do you want?" Grayfia asked, leaning closer to him.
This was a dangerous move.
"Reward, huh..." Roy pondered, his gaze drifting downwards.
Grayfia, noticing his gaze, gently pulled his head towards her chest.
Roy felt a surge of happiness.
But that wasn't the end of his reward. After releasing his head, Grayfia continued with her "reward"...
....
After leaving the Underworld, Roy returned to his castle.
"Roy, you're back!" Rias exclaimed, pulling him towards the door. "Let's go shopping!"
Although she was confident in her charm, she still wanted to spend more time with Roy.
Roy wouldn't refuse, of course.
They strolled down the street, Rias clinging to his arm, her head resting on his shoulder, a blissful smile on her face.
Roy enjoyed her affection.
Although only a few seconds had passed in the DxD world, he had spent over a month in the world of Fate.
He had missed Rias.
They reached a clothing store.
"Rias, want to go in?" Roy asked with a smile.
"No, I'm fine like this," Rias replied, shaking her head and snuggling closer to him.
"Alright." Roy chuckled.
He realized that Rias simply wanted to be with him, not necessarily go shopping.
He was happy to spend this relaxing time with her.
Of course, it would be even better if they were alone.
Akeno, Koneko, Tohru, and the others were following them at a distance.
"Ara ara, I'm so jealous. I also want to go on a date with Roy alone," Akeno sighed wistfully.
"Roy is so mean! He brought back so many girls again. But I'll forgive him if he takes me on a date alone," Tohru declared, puffing out her cheeks.
Roy, hearing their conversation, smiled to himself.
Their request was so simple.
It seemed he needed to spend some quality time with each of them.
And so, he spent the next two months doting on Rias, Sona, and the others.
The Underworld, after the recent purge, was much more peaceful.
And thanks to Roy and the girls' efforts in suppressing the rebellion, many factions now considered them untouchable.
Kuoh Town was also peaceful, with few Stray Devils appearing.
But the threat of Evie Etoulde (ExE) from another dimension still loomed.
Roy decided to go to the Dimensional Gap and find Great Red.@@novelbin@@
"Ophis, come here," Roy called out to Ophis, who was sitting on the sofa.
He needed to talk to Ophis before going to the Dimensional Gap.
She kept talking about taking Great Red's head, and it was becoming a bit of a problem.
If he went to the Dimensional Gap without telling her, she would definitely throw a tantrum.
Ophis jumped off the sofa and approached him.
"Roy, what is it?"
"Ophis, do you like living here?" Roy asked instead of directly mentioning Great Red.
Ophis thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, life here is much more interesting than before."
With Tohru, Kanna, Koneko, Irisviel, Lucoa, and the others to play with, and an endless supply of delicious food, life was definitely more enjoyable than before.
"Is that so?" Roy smiled. "Then you don't need to return to the Dimensional Gap, right? And you don't need to take Great Red's head anymore, right?"
"No! I have to take Great Red's head. You promised me," Ophis insisted, shaking her head.
Taking Great Red's head had become an obsession for her. She wouldn't give up.
This was troublesome.
Roy sat up and pulled Ophis into his arms.
Ophis stared at him with her crimson eyes.
The other girls in the room also watched them curiously.
Roy thought for a moment, then finally came up with a plan.
"Ophis, Great Red actually sent you away to protect you," he said in a serious tone.
"Protect me?" Ophis tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes, because this world is about to be invaded by powerful beings from another dimension. Great Red sent you away to keep you safe."
"Is that true, Roy? You're not lying to Ophis, are you?" Tohru asked suspiciously.
Ophis also looked doubtful.
