"Enju, Kayo, Tina—go choose some clothes you like. You can buy anything you want," Roy said to the little girls with a smile as they entered a clothing store.
"Thank you, Roy-onii-chan!" the three girls exclaimed, then excitedly ran off to browse the clothes.
They were in the children's section, and Roy felt like a father buying clothes for his daughters.
"Roy is so nice to them," Seitenshi muttered enviously.
Roy overheard her comment.
"Seitenshi—you should choose some clothes too," he said, waving her over.
"But—this is the children's section," Seitenshi said, blushing.
"....."
"Sigh. Kisara, take her to the women's section," Roy instructed Kisara, then sat down on a nearby chair.
"Okay!" Kisara nodded with a smile and led Seitenshi away.
Kisara didn't have many nice clothes due to her financial situation. She was eager to take advantage of this opportunity to do some shopping.
——
Soon, the three little girls returned with their chosen outfits.
Roy had them try on the clothes.
Suddenly, screams erupted from the street, and the ground shook.
Roy's eyes narrowed. A Gastrea was attacking.
He was surprised that a Gastrea would appear in broad daylight.
But there should be Promoters to deal with it. He wasn't going to intervene.
The commotion outside caught the attention of the three little girls, Kisara, and Seitenshi. They rushed over to Roy.
"Is it a Gastrea?" Kisara asked with a frown.
"Yeah, probably," Roy replied casually.
"Aren't there any Promoters to deal with it?" Seitenshi asked worriedly.
"It seems like a sudden attack. The Promoters probably haven't arrived yet," Kisara guessed.
She wished she had brought her sword. She would have dealt with the Gastrea herself.
"Roy-onii-chan, do you need us to take care of it?" Enju suddenly asked.
As a Cursed Child—even without a weapon—she could easily handle most Gastrea.
"No need. Just stay here and choose your clothes. Don't worry about it," Roy said dismissively.
Kisara sighed. She couldn't do anything either.
Seitenshi was even more helpless. She could only watch anxiously.
But after waiting for a while, the commotion outside didn't die down. In fact, it was getting worse.
"Customers, please evacuate! That monster is heading this way!" the shop owner cried, rushing into the store and warning them.
He then fled without looking back.
He would rather lose his shop than his life.
Roy frowned. It was strange that no Promoter had arrived yet.
He used his magic to investigate and realized that the government was in chaos. No one had the time to deal with a Gastrea attack.
That's why no one had come to help.
They could now see the Gastrea through the shop window.
It was a giant cockroach-like monster, over ten meters long, destroying everything in its path.
"Roy, please..." Seitenshi pleaded, tears welling up in her eyes as she watched the Gastrea slaughtering people.
She begged him to stop it.
Roy, however, remained calm. He gently lifted her chin and said with a smirk, "If you want to make a deal with a Devil, you have to offer something in return. Understand?"
Seitenshi bit her lip. "I'll do anything! Just kill that monster!"
"Oh? You said it." Roy's lips curled into a playful smile, and he snapped his fingers.
The rampaging Gastrea instantly froze in place.
Shatter!
The frozen Gastrea exploded into countless ice crystals—vanishing into thin air.
Seitenshi stared at the scene in stunned silence.
She had heard from Kisara that Roy was powerful, but she hadn't expected him to be this powerful.
This was beyond human capabilities!
No wonder Kisara had said that Roy could solve everything.
Seitenshi felt a new hope for the region.
Although she had run away—she still cared about her people.
But she had been powerless to help them.
Now, she saw hope in Roy.
"Thank you," she said with a grateful smile.
"Don't thank me yet. Remember what you said," Roy said with a smirk.
Seitenshi blushed, but she nodded with determination.
——
When the Gastrea suddenly shattered into ice crystals, the people in the streets were stunned.
Some couldn't believe that the monster was truly dead and continued to flee in panic.
But Roy and the others didn't care.
After buying clothes for the three little girls, Kisara, and Seitenshi, they returned to the apartment.
Roy sat on the sofa, playing games with the three little girls. Enju, Kayo, and Tina were having a lot of fun.
Even Tina—who was usually sleepy, joined in.
——
It was noon.
Kisara and Seitenshi were busy in the kitchen.
Seitenshi, who had never cooked before, was more of a hindrance than a help.
"Um... Kisara, there's something I want to ask you..." Seitenshi said hesitantly, her face flushed.
Kisara had noticed that she wanted to say something.
"What is it?"
"Well... it's like this..."
Seitenshi finally confessed.
After learning about Roy's power—she had decided to do whatever it took to save the region, even if it meant sacrificing herself.
It was her responsibility as the ruler.
Although she had run away, she couldn't abandon her people.
She knew that if she didn't act now, the region would be doomed.
Today, there had been a Gastrea attack, and no one had come to help. If they hadn't been there, many more people would have died.
Kisara frowned—hearing Seitenshi's request.
She didn't want to do this.
But she could tell that Roy was fond of Seitenshi.
And she was just his servant.
After a moment of hesitation, she agreed to Seitenshi's plea.
She was doing this not only to help Seitenshi but also to save the people of this region.
Although she was no longer human, she had lived here for many years and didn't want to see it destroyed.
——
Unbeknownst to them, Roy had overheard their conversation.
He hadn't expected Seitenshi to offer herself in exchange for his help.
It was a naive idea.
When he first arrived in this world, he had considered destroying it with Explosion magic.
But after seeing that not everything was as dark as it seemed in the anime, he had changed his mind.
There were still good people in this world who cared for the Cursed Children.
He only despised the Tokyo Area.
But it had already received its punishment.
Roy hadn't planned on getting involved any further, but now that Seitenshi and Kisara wanted to save the region, he wouldn't stop them.
Saving them or not was a trivial matter.
If he was in a good mood—he might even eliminate all the Gastrea himself.
——
"Roy, lunch is ready!" Kisara called out from the kitchen, seeing Roy playing with the little girls.
She smiled. This scene felt like a real family.
"Alright, Enju, Kayo, Tina—go wash your hands. It's time to eat," Roy said, patting the little girls' heads and stretching lazily.
Playing with children was a new experience for him, and he was enjoying it.
"Okay!" the three girls replied in unison and ran to the bathroom.
——
After lunch, they spent the afternoon relaxing, drinking tea, and playing games.
But as night approached—Seitenshi grew nervous.
However—before she could act, something unexpected happened.
Two figures were leaping across the rooftops under the night sky.
"Is it that house?"
They stopped on a rooftop, and a man wearing a tuxedo and a mask with a smiley face stared at a house with sharp eyes.
It was Roy's house.
The man was Kagetane Hiruko—and the little girl beside him was his daughter and Initiator partner, Kohina Hiruko.
Roy had also noticed their arrival.
One of the reasons he had stayed in this world was because of Kohina.
Kohina called Kagetane "Papa," and he was indeed her father.
But she was the product of artificial insemination using stolen genetic material from five women.
And for the first seven years of her life, she had been subjected to brutal training and brainwashing in a basement.
She had then met her four sisters and been forced to fight them to the death.
She was the only survivor.
