"Rias, I'm back!" Roy announced, returning after a brief absence.
"Welcome back!" Rias, Akeno, Koneko, and the others greeted him.
"Who is she?" Rias asked, looking curiously at the girl with crimson hair who looked strikingly similar to her.
"Let me introduce everyone. This is Mio Naruse, and this is Maria Naruse..." Roy said, introducing the girls.
Mio felt a pang of insecurity as she looked at Rias, who was even more beautiful and elegant than her.
She was still a bit dazed. Roy hadn't explained much before bringing them back.
They were still trying to process everything.
It took them half a day to finally understand the situation, thanks to the explanations from the other girls.
But understanding the truth only made them more bewildered.
Roy was incredibly powerful. And to think that they had actually tried to use Charm magic on him when they first met...
....
Life returned to its peaceful routine.
Roy spent his days enjoying the company of his harem.
"Jack, come here! I have some snacks for you!" Roy called out, playing hide-and-seek with Jack the Ripper in the Lucifuge territory in the Underworld.
"No!" Jack shouted, then disappeared in an instant.
Roy sighed. Jack was a problem child who didn't seem to like him very much.
Instead, she was quite attached to Grayfia and even saw her as a mother figure.
And Grayfia was also fond of Jack.
"Roy, there you are. I was looking for you," Grayfia said, approaching him.
"Huh? What is it, Sister?" Roy asked.
"Come with me—"
Grayfia took his hand, and they vanished in a magic circle.
....
In Grayfia's room, she looked at Roy with a serious expression. "I think it's time we discussed the future of the Lucifuge family."
"The future?" Roy was confused.
They were immortal Devils—Why talk about the future now?
"Since you haven't produced any heirs yet, this is a very important matter," Grayfia explained.
"It's too early for that, Sister!" Roy said with a shrug.
Having children seemed like a distant concept to him. He was only twenty years old.
Besides, the birth rate for Devils was already low, and it decreased even further with increased strength.
That's why none of his women had gotten pregnant yet.
There was no need to rush.
"It's not too early. You know how difficult it is for us Devils to have children. We have to start working on it now to increase our chances later," Grayfia insisted.
"Alright, alright, I understand. I've been working hard, haven't I?" Roy said with a sigh.
He had already gathered so many girls. Wasn't that enough effort?
"Yes, you have. But as your older sister, I should also do my part."
Grayfia activated a magic circle, and her clothes vanished.
"Um..." Roy was stunned, but seeing Grayfia's initiative, he couldn't back down.
He hadn't expected to finally "conquer" Grayfia. It felt like a dream.
....
Roy spent the next few months enjoying Grayfia's company, lost in a blissful haze.
Eventually, he returned to Kuoh Town, prompted by the complaints from Rias and the others.
The system had refreshed many new worlds during his absence, but only a few caught his attention.
The first was—Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They?.
Roy's eyes lit up. This was the key to the world of Little Garden.
But with his current Stellar-level power, he couldn't do whatever he wanted in Little Garden. And life there wasn't necessarily suitable for him.
If he remembered correctly, some communities in Little Garden still lived a life of hard labor.
In that case—it was better to stay in the world of High School DxD for now.
But he would eventually visit Little Garden. Just not yet.
The next two worlds made him hesitate.
One was Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!, and the other was Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
Both worlds had powerful gods that could potentially help him increase his strength.
If he could contract them and Advance to the Solaric-level, he would be able to roam freely in Little Garden.
....
After some consideration, Roy decided to visit the world of Konosuba first.
The world of Danmachi was complex, with numerous gods and factions. He wasn't sure if he could handle it with his current power.
Hence—Konosuba was the safer choice.
Although Aqua was a bit of an airhead, she was still the Goddess of water.
And despite being ridiculed by many for her stupidity, Aqua was still beautiful.
Roy didn't mind her flaws at all.
There was also Eris, the Goddess of Luck, who was petite and cute, even if she was a bit flat-chested...
But both Aqua and Eris seemed to dislike Devils. It wouldn't be easy to win them over.
And despite their seemingly unreliable personalities, they were still legitimate gods with considerable power—likely at least at the Planetary-level or higher.
Although they weren't strong enough to help him reach the Solaric-level, they could still boost his power.
To Advance to the Solaric-level, he would need to contract many more Planetary-level beings, or even Stellar-level beings!
...
Roy informed Rias and Sona of his decision.
Rias, Sona, and the others were actually quite interested in visiting other worlds.
They were eager to see what Roy's "adventure worlds" were like.
Roy wanted to take them with him, but not yet. He would wait until he had "conquered" this new world first.
It wouldn't take long.
The girls agreed. They were looking forward to visiting another world.
Roy cast a spell on himself to conceal his demonic aura. This would make it easier to approach Aqua and Eris.
Having made all the necessary preparations, he vanished from the living room in a flash of white light.
...
He reappeared above the bustling town of Axel, a popular destination for adventurers in the world of Konosuba.
The town, with its unique otherworldly charm, fascinated Roy.
This was sometime before the main events of the story. Kazuma Satou, the protagonist, and Aqua, the goddess of water, would soon arrive in this town.
Roy had some preparations to make before that happened.
First, he needed money. The currency in this world was called "Eris."
Yes, it was named after the goddess Eris.
Roy glanced at the Eris coins in the hands of a nearby street vendor, then activated his magic. Several Eris coins materialized in his hand.
The currency in this world consisted of gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins, all called "Eris." Their value was roughly equivalent to Japanese yen.
The gold Eris coins Roy had created were worth ten thousand Eris each.
With money in hand, he headed towards the Adventurer's Guild to register as an adventurer.
...
The Adventurer Guild was filled with wooden tables and chairs, and a few adventurers were chatting and drinking.
Roy, dressed in a blue cloak made of expensive-looking fabric, his tall and handsome figure exuding an air of nobility, attracted everyone's attention as he entered.
"Who's that?"
"He looks like a noble."
The adventurers whispered among themselves.
Roy ignored them and walked towards the counter.
Several waitresses in short skirts, their legs on full display, were smitten by his appearance.
But the receptionist Luna—a mature woman with golden hair and a voluptuous figure, looked at him with curiosity.
She wasn't fawning over him like the other girls.
She was intrigued by his presence.
Luna was a kind and helpful woman.
But she was also known for being stingy when it came to paying out rewards.
She had explained the basics of adventuring to Kazuma and Aqua when they first arrived and helped them register.
She was an idol to many adventurers, and any man who tried to get close to her would be met with hostility. Due to her busy work schedule, she was still unmarried.
Even Roy was slightly interested in her, but he didn't show it.
He approached her with a gentle smile.
"Is this where I register as an adventurer?" he asked.
"Huh?" Luna was confused. He seemed well-equipped. Why would he ask such a question? Was he not an adventurer already?
"Are you not an adventurer yet?" she asked.
"That's right," Roy replied with a smile and a nod.
Luna was relieved. She was always a bit nervous when dealing with powerful adventurers, but she was more comfortable with newbies.
After all, she had plenty of experience guiding new adventurers.
"You'll need some Eris to register," she reminded him.
But then, she looked at his expensive clothes and shook her head. Someone like him wouldn't be short on money.
Roy didn't waste any time and placed two gold Eris coins on the counter.@@novelbin@@
"Is this enough?" he asked with a chuckle.
"Of course." Luna smiled and began the registration process.
