"Damn it! Who are you?!" Natsuki demanded, glaring at Roy.

She hadn't been able to react to his speed. This man was clearly not ordinary.

"Heh, let me repeat myself. You can call me a Demon Lord," Roy replied with a smirk.

'Demon Lord?'

Natsuki's eyes widened in shock.

The people of this world might not know much about Demon Lords—but they were familiar with Devils/Demons.

Humans who formed contracts with Devils could use powerful magic and were called "Witch."

And every Witch had a contract with a Devil.

Natsuki knew that there were kings among Devils—and those kings were called Demon Lords.

Roy—sensing her thoughts, scoffed. "I'm not like those trash Demon Lords."

Natsuki's expression hardened. This man could read her mind?

Roy ignored her. He wasn't planning on making her his servant yet.

After all—Natsuki was also a Witch. Her spatial manipulation magic came from her contract with a Devil.

To make her his servant, he would have to deal with that Devil first.

But if he eliminated that Devil—Natsuki would lose her magic, and the prison she was guarding would collapse.

Now wasn't the time.

Roy turned his attention to Nagisa Akatsuki. The girl were still young. He couldn't wait that long.

So—he decided to travel four years into the future, to the beginning of the main storyline.

But first, there were some matters he had to attend to.

Kojou—seeing Roy's gaze on his sister, instinctively shielded her with his body.

Roy—who hadn't been planning on doing anything to Nagisa, suddenly had an idea.

He appeared before Kojou in a flash.

"Wh-what are you doing?!" Kojou stammered, alarmed.

Gajou Akatsuki was also about to intervene, but he found himself paralyzed.

"Your sister is quite cute. She'll be my personal shrine maiden from now on," Roy declared with a smirk—then summoned an Evil Piece and merged it with Nagisa.

"What... what did you do to my sister?!" Kojou demanded, glaring at Roy.

"Don't worry, this power will protect her," Roy reassured him, patting his shoulder before turning to leave.

"Wait, Demon Lord-sama!" a voice called out.

Roy turned and saw Liana.

Liana—intimidated by his gaze, fell to her knees. But she steeled her resolve and said, "Demon Lord-sama, you must be unfamiliar with this world. The Caruana family can serve you and assist you in any way we can."

Her eagerness to become his subordinate amused Roy.

He had almost forgotten about her. After all, she was just a minor character who died early in the story.

But having a loyal subordinate wasn't a bad idea.

"To serve a Demon Lord, you need more than just loyalty," Roy said, extending his hand towards Liana.

A surge of magic power erupted, lifting Liana into the air.

Then, he channeled his magic into her, forcefully increasing her power.

"Aah!" Liana screamed in pain.

This method of forcefully increasing one's power was brutal.

Roy could have done it more gently, but to gain power, one had to endure pain.

Natsuki—witnessing this, was shocked. This Demon Lord could forcefully increase someone's power?

Liana's aura grew stronger and stronger—quickly reaching a level comparable to Natsuki's.

Natsuki was known as the "Witch of the Void,", also one of the most powerful humans in this world.

Although she wasn't Maou-class, she was close.

And now, Liana's power had been raised to her level in an instant.

It was unbelievable.

———

Finally, Liana's screams subsided. She was drenched in sweat, but her expression was filled with excitement.

She could feel the immense power coursing through her body.

With this power, she could've easily defeated Golan Hazaroff.

"Thank you, Master!" she exclaimed, bowing deeply.

She knew she had made the right choice. The Fourth Progenitor hadn't done anything. It was this Demon Lord who held all the power.

"Good. I'll be arriving on Itogami Island in four years. I expect you to have made some progress by then," Roy said.

Liana's eyes lit up. "Yes, Master! I won't disappoint you!"

Natsuki, however, was fuming.

Wasn't he basically giving Liana free rein to do whatever she wanted on Itogami Island?

How shameless!

But she didn't protest. If she angered him, he might destroy the entire island.

Roy—ignoring her, then vanished from the mausoleum with Avrora.

———

———

———

Four years later.

"Four years have passed, huh?" Roy mused as he and Avrora appeared on a street in Itogami Island.

The streets were bustling with people, their faces filled with smiles. It seemed like the island was well-managed.

He scanned the island with his senses—instantly grasping the current situation.

"Heh, Liana has exceeded my expectations," he said with a smirk.

Liana had become one of the high-ranking officials on Itogami Island.

The Itogami Island Management Corporation was the official governing body, and Liana was now a member of it.

But the true ruler of the island was the AI that controlled the entire management system: "Mogwai."

As seen in the anime, the Corporation didn't have much power. They relied on Natsuki to defend against external threats.

But now, with Liana's strength rivaling Natsuki's—the Corporation was a force to be reckoned with.

Over the years—any Demon who tried to invade the island had been easily defeated by Liana.

This had confirmed her position on the island.

She had also secretly expanded her own forces and expanded her influence.

But Roy didn't care about any of that.

"Master, I'm hungry!" Avrora suddenly whined, her stomach growling as she smelled the delicious food from a nearby restaurant.

Without her bloodlust, she no longer needed to drink blood.

But the smell of food still tempted her.

"Don't call me Master. Just call me Roy," Roy said, gently patting her head, then took her to the restaurant and treated her to a feast.

Avrora ate until she was full.

"That was delicious!" she exclaimed, patting her belly with a satisfied smile.

After spending some time together, she was no longer as afraid of Roy as before.

"Now that you're full, let's go," Roy said, leading her out of the restaurant.

They vanished.

———

They reappeared in a beautifully decorated apartment.

"Who's there?" Natsuki's voice called out.

Someone had invaded her home.

She used her spatial magic and instantly returned from school.

But then, she saw two figures sitting on her sofa and her eyes widened in shock.

It was the Demon Lord and the Fourth Progenitor. He had kept his promise and returned after four years.

"Demon Lord-sama," Natsuki said, bowing respectfully.

"Natsuki-chan, it's been four years. Did you miss me?" Roy asked playfully.

Natsuki's eye twitched.

'Miss you? I wish you would never show your face on Itogami Island again,' she thought.

But she couldn't say that out loud.

"Demon Lord-sama, you're welcome here," she replied politely.

"Oh, really?" Roy chuckled.

He had just been joking, but it seemed Natsuki had taken him seriously. She didn't look very welcoming.

But he didn't dwell on it.

He had already contacted Liana and asked her to come here. She should be arriving soon.

Ding-dong!

The doorbell rang.

"Who could that be?" Natsuki wondered, going to answer the door.

Seeing Liana, her expression turned cold.

Although Liana's presence on the island had reduced her workload, she often clashed with Liana on certain matters.

She glanced at Roy and instantly understood Liana's purpose. She stepped aside, allowing Liana to enter.

"Greetings, Master!" Liana exclaimed, approaching Roy and kneeling before him.

"How are the preparations coming along?" Roy asked, getting straight to the point.

"Master, I've already contacted the Three Warlords Empire factions, and the Feast of Flames has been scheduled to be held on Itogami Island," Liana reported.

"Good. But I doubt everyone will bring their Fourth Progenitor candidates," Roy said.

Although the festival was meant to help the Fourth Progenitor candidates merge and become stronger to fight Cain—But not everyone would cooperate.

In the original story, some people hadn't brought their candidates to the festival.

Natsuki, hearing that the Feast of Flames would be held on Itogami Island, frowned.

The festival was a gathering of various factions. It wouldn't be peaceful.
