With Kohina's addition to the family, the apartment seemed a bit cramped.
But it was also livelier. Kohina, in addition to her yandere tendencies, also had a bit of a battle maniac side.
Whenever Enju, Kayo, and Tina tried to compete for Roy's attention, Kohina would become aggressive.
Even after Roy scolded her several times, she would still sneak out to fight them.
Fortunately—Tina was the strongest and most mature of the four little girls. She could easily subdue Kohina.
But Kohina would always receive a spanking from Roy as punishment when she returned home after a fight.
——
Several days passed, and Seitenshi, who had been planning to "approach" Roy, couldn't find an opportunity.
Kohina was too clingy and always stayed by Roy's side.
This made it impossible for Seitenshi to make a move.
And seeing the increasing chaos in the region, she grew anxious.
One day, Rentaro suddenly visited, bringing bad news.
"Kisara-san, I have something important to tell you," he said without preamble.
"Come in first," Kisara replied, inviting him inside.
"Seitenshi-sama?" Rentaro was surprised to see Seitenshi.
"Rentaro, just tell us what you came here to say," Seitenshi said with a forced smile.
"Yes, Seitenshi-sama." Rentaro nodded. "The increasing chaos in the region has led to a lack of security around the Monoliths. There are reports of damage near the Monoliths, and some even say that they might collapse soon..."
Seitenshi and Kisara frowned.
The Monoliths were the last line of defense against the Gastrea.
If they collapsed, the consequences would be disastrous.
Countless Gastrea would invade, and the region would be doomed.
Seitenshi looked at Roy pleadingly.
But Roy didn't seem to care. He was playing with Kohina, seemingly oblivious to Rentaro's words.
Seitenshi's heart sank.
But the bad news wasn't over yet.
"Also, the higher-ups have detected the presence of the Zodiac," Rentaro continued.
"What?!" Seitenshi gasped.
The Zodiac were the most powerful Gastrea in this world—the Stage V's.
There were eleven of them in total, and they had wreaked havoc during the war between humans and Gastrea, almost driving humanity to extinction.
They were massive creatures, comparable in size to Godzilla—with impenetrable armor, molecular-level regeneration abilities, and immunity to the Monoliths' magnetic field.
They had destroyed human settlements countless times.
And now, with the Monoliths on the verge of collapse, the Zodiac had appeared.
Was this region truly doomed?
Seitenshi's face paled.
Even Kisara sighed in despair.
Unless a miracle happened, or Roy intervened, there was no hope.
——
There was a weapon in the region capable of defeating Stage V Gastrea: the Ladder of Heaven.
But with the current chaos, no one could reach it.
The path to the Ladder of Heaven was infested with Gastrea.
In the original story, even Rentaro had only managed to reach it after sacrificing many of his comrades and Kayo.
——
Rentaro, having delivered the news, left the apartment.
He had wanted to ask Roy to save the region, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
After all, he was just an outsider. He would leave this matter to Kisara.
After Rentaro left, Seitenshi and Kisara stared at Roy, their eyes filled with worry and desperation.
Roy, of course, knew what they wanted to say, but he pretended to be oblivious.
"Roy-onii-chan, can you please save Mr. Matsuzaki?" Enju suddenly pleaded.
Roy knew who she was talking about.
Matsuzaki was an old man who took care of the Cursed Children in the Outer Area. He was one of the few humans who genuinely cared for them.
He had taken in many Cursed Children.
"Of course—" Roy replied with a smile and a nod.
Enju had also been under his care in the Outer Area before becoming an Initiator—and she had made many friends there. So, he had to save the old man.
He was grateful to Matsuzaki.
"Yay!" Enju cheered and kissed him on the cheek.
——
Seitenshi, seeing Roy readily agree to Enju's request, was overjoyed.
If he could save one person, he could save many more, right?
She steeled her resolve. She had to act tonight.
——
That night, after dinner, Seitenshi approached Roy and whispered in his ear, "Can you come to my room tonight?"
Then, she blushed and ran away before he could answer.
Roy smirked. It seemed Seitenshi couldn't hold back any longer.
He would gladly accept her offer. Although she was just a "flower vase," she was still a beautiful one.
——
Later that night, after putting the little girls to bed, Roy teleported to Seitenshi's room.
The light was still on, and Seitenshi was sitting on her bed, her long white hair flowing down her back, her purple eyes filled with a hint of melancholy.
She was wearing a white dress, looking like a delicate doll.
Her figure was perfect, not overly voluptuous but still undeniably attractive.
As a "flower vase," she was certainly qualified.
But she seemed a bit fragile. Roy wondered if she could handle his "training."
"Roy, you came," Seitenshi said, surprised and delighted to see him.
She blushed and looked down shyly.
But then, she lifted her head and met his gaze with determination.
"What do you want to say?" Roy asked, amused by her expression.
"I... I want to ask you to save my people. Please. I'll do anything," Seitenshi pleaded.
Roy chuckled.
"If I remember correctly, you've already said that. So, from that moment onwards, you belonged to me. Understand?" he said, gently lifting her chin with his finger and looking at her with a playful smirk.
"But—but..." Seitenshi stammered, flustered.
But Roy didn't give her a chance to explain.
He knew what she wanted to say, and he wasn't interested in hearing it.
——
The next morning, Roy enjoyed his tea while playing with Enju, Kohina, and the others.
Looking at the adorable little girls, he couldn't help but miss Koneko, Kanna, Ophis, and the others.
And Akeno's tea.
It seemed like there was nothing left for him to do in this world. It was time to move on to his final plan.
He would gather all the Cursed Children and take them back to the world of High School DxD.
Transporting over a million Cursed Children would take some time.
So, he decided to start today.
——
He first returned to the DxD world, then went to the Underworld.
In the mountains behind the Lucifuge territory, he cleared a large area and used his magic to create a small city for the Cursed Children to live in.
Grayfia—seeing the massive city Roy had created, gently whispered in his ear, "You've worked hard."
She knew that he was doing this for the sake of the Lucifuge family.
This had always been her hope for him, and he had exceeded her expectations.
"It's nothing, Sister," Roy replied with a smile, then wrapped his arms around her waist. "There are over a million new servants—and they're all children. It'll be hard work taking care of them."
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of them," Grayfia assured him with a serious nod.
Roy, seeing her serious expression, couldn't resist teasing her.
"Sister, children are adorable. When will you give us some children for the Lucifuge family?"
Grayfia's serious expression melted away, replaced by a blush.
It seemed even she was no different from other girls when it came to such matters.
Although he wanted to continue teasing her, he had been away for a while now.
If he didn't return soon, Kohina and the other little girls would get worried.
"Sister, have everything prepared. I'm going to bring our new servants back."
"Okay, go ahead."
Roy vanished.
——
He reappeared in Kisara's apartment.
As expected—Kohina and the others were starting to get anxious.
They all rushed towards him when they saw him.
Kisara also sighed in relief.
Seitenshi—however, looked at him with a hint of resentment.
He had taken her most precious thing, then disappeared without a word.
And he hadn't even promised to save the region yet.
