"Huh? They're gone?" Liana wondered as she arrived at the control room with her men.
Roy was nowhere to be seen. Only Rudolf Eustach lay unconscious on the floor.
"Arrest him!" Liana ordered, and her men quickly restrained Rudolf.
After confirming that there was no one else there, Liana took Rudolf away.
——
Meanwhile, Roy had returned to Natsuki's apartment with Asagi and Astarte.
Natsuki, who was enjoying her tea, frowned when she saw him with two girls, one of whom was her student.
"You brought back two more girls? And one of them is my student! What are you planning, Roy?" she asked, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Um..." Roy was speechless.
"Natsuki-sensei, Roy-san saved me..." Asagi quickly explained.
Natsuki finally learned about the attack on the Keystone Gate. She was surprised that she hadn't received any news about it.
'That Liana...' she thought angrily.
"And what about this girl?" Natsuki asked, looking at Astarte, who was still unconscious and being carried by Roy.
"She's one of the intruders. But she's just a Homunculus," Roy explained with a shrug.
Natsuki took a sip of her tea and remained silent.
But Roy wasn't going to let her off so easily.
He placed Astarte on the sofa and sat down next to Natsuki, asking with a smirk, "Natsuki-chan, why are you so nervous?"
"I'm not nervous!" Natsuki retorted, trying to appear calm.
"Really?" Roy leaned closer.
"Of course!" Natsuki insisted—but her fluttering eyelashes betrayed her nervousness.
"Alright then." Roy suddenly moved away.
Natsuki sighed in relief, but she also felt a pang of disappointment.
Just then—Roy quickly kissed her on the cheek.
Natsuki was stunned, then blushed furiously.
She was about to yell at him, but he had already taken Astarte and gone to his room.
She sputtered indignantly, unable to express her anger.
——
Asagi, who had witnessed the entire scene, followed Roy to his room and asked with a curious expression, "Roy-san, are you a Lolicon?"
"A Lolicon? Of course not," Roy denied, shaking his head.
He was an equal-opportunity lover, after all.
Asagi didn't believe him. She had never known that Roy was living with Natsuki.
And judging by Natsuki's reaction earlier—it was hard to believe that there was nothing going on between them.
"Why did you bring her to your room?" Asagi asked, looking at Astarte.
"You followed me here too, didn't you? Aren't you afraid I might do something to you?" Roy teased with a grin.
"I-I'm not afraid of you," Asagi replied, blushing.
"This girl is Astarte. As I said—she's just an artificial human. Her life force isn't enough to sustain a familiar."
"So, I'm going to make her my servant."
Roy began the Devil transformation ritual on Astarte.
An Evil Piece merged with Astarte's petite body, and she floated into the air, enveloped in a soft light.
"By the way—what exactly is a servant?" Asagi asked curiously.
"A servant is like family. If you become my servant, you'll gain immortality, eternal youth, and powerful abilities," Roy explained.
"Isn't that like a vampire?" Asagi asked skeptically.
"Don't compare those inferior creatures to devils. Vampires need to drink blood regularly. Devils don't have any weaknesses."
The blood of Devils could evolve. At Roy's current level, he had no weaknesses.
Even attacks with holy attributes were ineffective against him.
And the same applied to his servants.
His Devil bloodline had already surpassed that of the 72 Pillars.
Asagi was tempted. After all—who wouldn't want immortality and eternal youth?
But she was too embarrassed to admit it. And becoming his servant meant becoming his family... She wasn't ready for that yet.
She blushed.
——
Soon, the ritual was complete.
Astarte now had long blue hair—blue eyes, a white dress, and black Devil wings.
She looked adorable.
As an artificial human, she no longer had any flaws after becoming a Devil.
Even her mind, which had been programmed to only follow orders, was now free. But it would still take some time and "training" for her to become a normal girl.
——
"Master!" Astarte chirped, tilting her head and looking at Roy.
"Good girl. Come here." Roy smiled and opened his arms.
"Order received."
Astarte flapped her wings and flew into his embrace.
"You're so cute, Astarte," Roy said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Asagi watched them with a hint of envy.
Roy turned to her with a smirk. "So, have you made up your mind?"
"Eh?" Asagi was startled.
"About becoming my servant," Roy clarified.
"This... this..." Asagi blushed, flustered.
This was practically a confession, and she didn't know how to react. After all, becoming his servant meant becoming his family.
Roy waited patiently, holding Astarte in his arms.
Asagi took a deep breath and finally calmed down. She looked at Roy, then said shyly, "I accept."
After the incident at the Keystone Gate and being saved by Roy, she had developed strong feelings for him.
And the benefits of becoming his servant, such as eternal youth, were too tempting to resist.
Roy smiled, pleased with her answer.
"Astarte, go play for a bit. I need to perform the Devil transformation ritual for your Asagi-neesan," he said, setting Astarte down.
Astarte nodded and went to play by herself.
Roy approached Asagi.
Asagi's heart pounded as he drew closer.
Her face turned redder and redder, and by the time he reached her, she had already closed her eyes shyly.
Roy, who had initially just planned to perform the ritual, was amused by her reaction.
He couldn't resist and kissed her.
'Mnmmph'
Then, the Devil transformation ritual began.
——
Soon, the ritual was complete.
Asagi was now his servant.
She clenched her fists, feeling a surge of power. She felt like she could punch through a wall.
And the summer heat no longer bothered her.
Her vision also became incredibly sharp.
She hadn't expected there to be so many benefits to becoming a Devil.
"Alright, stop playing around. It's getting late. You should go home. Unless... you don't want to?" Roy teased with a suggestive grin.
Asagi, flustered, turned to leave, but she accidentally slammed the door open with her newfound strength.
"Aah!" she yelped in surprise.
"You klutz." Roy chuckled, then waved his hand, and the door was restored.
"Sorry!" Asagi apologized, bowing her head.
"Asagi, I think you should stay," Roy said with a smile.
Asagi blushed.
"Good night!" she mumbled and fled the room.
Roy shrugged, then turned to Astarte.
"Astarte, it seems like it's just the two of us tonight."
Astarte tilted her head, not understanding what he meant.
——
Meanwhile, at the Lion King Organization.
Roy had asked Liana to inform the Lion King Organization to send over all the girls.
So—the three leaders of the organization, the "Three Saints," were currently discussing the matter.
The Three Saints were:
Koyomi Shizuka: A high school girl wearing glasses.
Shirona Kuraki: A young girl with an impressive figure and two distinct personalities. One was the "Will of Darkness" passed down through generations, and the other was her true self.
Yukari Endou: A green-haired elf with a mischievous personality and an unknown age. Her familiar was a black cat.
"What do you think about that self-proclaimed Demon Lord?" Koyomi, the leader of the Three Saints, asked.
"To have the Fourth Progenitor as his subordinate... His power must be comparable to that of the True Ancestors," Shirona replied in her childish voice, which held a surprising maturity.
"Can we eliminate him?" Yukari asked.
She wasn't fond of men.
Koyomi shook her head.
"With our current strength, it's impossible."
"So we should agree to his demands?" Yukari frowned.
"Isn't that what we want? Send the remaining girls to him," Koyomi said with a sly smile.
