Back at Natsuki's apartment.

"Yukina, go make me some tea. And by the way, did the Lion King Organization teach you how to cook?" Roy asked, lazily lounging on the sofa and casually ordering Yukina around as if she were a servant.

"Why would I make you tea?! And the Lion King Organization is not a matchmaking agency!" Yukina retorted, still fuming from earlier.

"Aren't you the wife they sent me?" Roy teased with a shrug.

"I'm not!" Yukina's face flushed red.

"I'm here to monitor you on behalf of the Lion King Organization..."

"Yeah, yeah—and eliminate me if I do anything to harm the world," Roy interrupted, rolling his eyes.

"Avrora, go make some tea," he then ordered Avrora, who was watching TV.

"Eh? How do I do that?" Avrora was about to comply, but then she realized she didn't know how to make tea.

Roy sighed.

Just then, Natsuki, dressed in her gothic lolita outfit—returned home.

She blinked in surprise, seeing Yukina, then turned to Roy and asked, "Where did you pick up another girl?"

There was a hint of jealousy in her voice, although she probably didn't realize it herself.

Roy chuckled. "The Lion King matchmaking agency sent her over. Apparently—she's supposed to be my wife."

"I told you it's not a matchmaking agency! And who's going to be your... your..." Yukina sputtered indignantly, unable to finish her sentence.

Natsuki, although a bit jealous—quickly understood the Lion King Organization's intentions.

They were trying to use Yukina to control Roy.

What a cunning plan.

But this Demon Lord wasn't easily manipulated.

They might end up shooting themselves in the foot.

Natsuki didn't say anything.

"Natsuki-chan—go make me some tea," Roy said, seeing that she was silent.

Someone who could make tea was finally back. He had to take advantage of this.

Natsuki's eye twitched. She was the owner of this apartment—yet she was being ordered around.

If it were anyone else, she would have taught them a lesson.

But she couldn't refuse Roy.

She reluctantly went to make tea.

Yukina left the apartment as well. The Lion King Organization had prepared a place for her to stay.

It was right next door.

Roy didn't bother with her.

——

The next day, Roy and Avrora went to school as usual. But today, they had an extra companion: Yukina.

She had been waiting for him at the door since early morning. Roy was impressed by her dedication.

They walked to school together.

Roy teased Yukina occasionally, enjoying her flustered reactions.

At lunchtime, they had lunch with Asagi and Nagisa again, and Roy continued telling them stories about his adventures in other worlds.

But this time, Yukina was also present.

——

That night, as Roy had predicted, Rudolf Eustach and Astarte infiltrated the "Keystone Gate."

Their goal was to retrieve the stolen relic, the "Right Arm of the Saint."

Under Roy's instructions, Liana didn't stop them. In fact, she had even withdrawn the guards.

Those guards would be no match for Rudolf and Astarte anyway.

——

"Mogwai, are you saying that someone has infiltrated the facility?" Asagi asked, sitting in front of a control panel with multiple screens.

A cat-like avatar on one of the screens nodded.

"Yes."

"How is that possible?" Asagi was surprised.

The Keystone Gate's security was top-notch, Average Demons couldn't get in.

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself, ojou-sama," Mogwai replied, showing her the security footage.

A man in armor wielding a battle axe and a girl with blue hair were casually strolling through the facility.

They smashed through any door that blocked their path.

"Where are the guards?" Asagi wondered.

The Keystone Gate was usually heavily guarded, with personnel stationed at every key location.

But today, there was no one!

She checked the other security cameras but found that the guards in other areas were still at their posts.

She was confused.

Before she could figure out what was happening, she heard a loud crash.

She turned around and saw that the door to the control room had been destroyed.

A pair of white, almost translucent hands reached in.

The hands pulled, and the metal door was ripped off its hinges.

Asagi gasped in fear. In that moment of crisis, she thought of Roy.

If he were here, he would protect her.

She quickly grabbed her phone to call him.

But the intruders had already entered the room.

——

"Hahaha, there's someone here after all!" Rudolf laughed.

"I was wondering why there were no guards. Hey, little girl, do you know why there's no one here?"

Even Rudolf was confused by the lack of security.

"Um... I don't know," Asagi replied nervously.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter."

"Tell me, where is the relic?"

"Relic? I don't know," Asagi said, shaking her head.

Although she worked here, she didn't have access to all the secrets of the island.

Rudolf was disappointed.

"Fine, I'll find it myself. But to prevent you from alerting the guards, I'll have to eliminate you."

He turned to Astarte. "Astarte, kill her."

"Order received."

Astarte, her face expressionless, was enveloped in a white, armor-like suit.

She moved towards Asagi, her powerful footsteps cracking the floor.

"Please answer..." Asagi muttered, her hands behind her back, dialing Roy's number on her phone.

Roy, who had been monitoring the situation, knew what was happening.

He smirked and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Roy, help me! Aah!" Asagi screamed as Astarte lunged towards her.

As a normal human, she would be crushed if that attack landed.

She closed her eyes, bracing for the impact.

But after a moment, she didn't feel any pain.

She cautiously opened one eye, then gasped in surprise and relief as she saw a familiar figure standing protectively in front of her.

"Roy!"

She threw her arms around him, tears of joy streaming down her face.

In that moment of crisis, she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer.

Roy blocked Astarte's attack with one hand and glanced at Asagi, who was clinging to him and sobbing. He smiled inwardly.

His plan had worked.

"It's okay, Asagi. I'm here now. No one can hurt you," he said gently.

Asagi felt a sense of security she had never experienced before.

"Who are you?" Rudolf demanded, frowning at the newcomer.

Roy ignored him and looked at Astarte.

Astarte was an artificial life form, a pure vessel for a familiar. Her familiar was "Rhododactylos."

In battle, she wore a white armor-like suit and possessed immense strength.

But since she didn't have the infinite life force of a vampire—her familiar was slowly consuming her life force.

If she didn't find a solution, she would eventually die.

She was a quiet and obedient girl who only followed orders.

Roy was instantly smitten with her.

Rudolf, seeing that Roy was ignoring him, roared in anger.

"DIE!!"

He charged towards Roy, swinging his axe.

"Look out!" Asagi cried out in alarm.

Roy scoffed and casually raised a single finger.

Rudolf's axe struck his finger.

But to Rudolf's shock, the axe didn't even scratch Roy's finger.

Instead, the axe itself cracked and shattered into pieces.

"...." Rudolf's eyes widened in disbelief.

His full-powered attack hadn't even harmed his opponent, and his weapon was destroyed?

What a joke!

Even Asagi was stunned. 'This guy is ridiculously strong,' she thought.

Roy casually waved his hand.

Rudolf was sent flying backwards, crashing into the wall and falling unconscious.

"Amazing!" Asagi couldn't help but exclaim.

Roy smirked, then flicked his wrist, and Astarte's armor vanished.

She also fainted.

"Alright, that's taken care of. I'll leave the rest to you," Roy said.

Just then—Liana arrived with reinforcements.

Roy grabbed Astarte—then wrapped his arm around Asagi's waist, and they vanished in a flash of light.
