Shortly after, Yukina had finished settling Sayaka Kirasaka and the others into their new rooms, then returned to Roy.

"These are called Evil Pieces. Accept their power, and you will become stronger. Of course, you will also become my familiars. The choice is yours, ladies!"

Roy presented five Evil Pieces, floating them before the girls from the Lion King Organization, awaiting their decision.

The girls fell silent. They understood that accepting the power of the Pieces meant they could never return to the Lion King Organization.

But remembering their mission, they steeled their resolve.

"I accept!" Yukina was the first to grab a Piece.

Over the past few days, despite the constant teasing, she had become fascinated by Roy's mystery and power.

She had even fallen for the roguish Demon Lord, which was why she accepted the Devil Piece without hesitation.

In the eyes of the other girls, a soft light enveloped Yukina.

Sayaka Kirasaka watched with concern.

At that moment, Yuiri Haba, Touka Fujisaka, and Shio Hikawa also agreed.

They had been ordered to follow the Demon Lord's instructions and earn his trust.

The opportunity was before them; accepting the power of the Devils was the surest way to gain his favor.

As they grasped the Pieces, they were enveloped in light, and the Devil Transformation ritual began.

Sayaka Kirasaka bit her lip, still hesitant due to her intense dislike of men.

Roy didn't rush her, watching with interest, curious to see her decision.

Torn between the orders of the Lion King Organization and her aversion to men, and seeing her best friend Yukina's choice, Sayaka finally compromised, grabbing the Piece.

Moments later, the Devil Transformation was complete.

Yukina clenched her fists and flapped her newfound Devil wings, feeling an immense surge of power.

This power was several times greater than what she had before—a world of difference.

With her Schneewalzer, she was at the level of a Mid-class Devil. Now, she had risen to a High-class Devil—a significant boost in power.

Sayaka and the others also sensed the change within themselves, amazed by the newfound strength.

"Alright, you can all go rest now."

With the Devil Transformation complete and the girls now his familiars, Roy saw no need for formalities and sent them to rest.

He had a certain playful—blue-haired girl to deal with later that evening.

"Yes, sir!" Sayaka and the others became obedient, instinctively viewing Roy as their closest confidant.

After they left, Roy noticed Natsuki, sitting alone and sipping tea, lost in thought.

"You go take a bath and come to my room afterward," he whispered to Asagi, then joined Natsuki.

Asagi blushed and hurried to the bathroom.

——

"What's on your mind, Natsuki-chan?"

"Nothing," Natsuki replied, glancing at him.

Roy wasn't bothered by her attitude. "Are you wondering why I haven't made a contract with you yet?"

"I wouldn't contract with you even if you asked!" Natsuki said, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Of course, I'll make a contract with you, Natsuki-chan. But not with this avatar—But with your true form."

Natsuki frowned. "How did you know?"

Only a few people knew she was currently in an avatar, let alone about her real body.

"It's simple: I can see it," Roy said with a shrug.

Natsuki fell silent. With his power, it wasn't surprising that he could see through her disguise.

"Don't do anything rash!" Natsuki warned, glaring at him.

"Relax. I won't," Roy said, patting her head.

Natsuki remained skeptical but could do nothing about it.

——

After her bath, Asagi was waiting for him, but to his surprise, Astarte was also there.

"Asagi, why is Astarte here?" Roy asked, puzzled.

"I-I was a bit scared, so I brought her," Asagi said, blushing.

"I see. Bringing Astarte as backup, huh?" Roy said, understanding Asagi's plan.

Though Astarte had become a Devil, shedding her artificial life, she was still a bit slow-witted.

But she was much better than before.

——

The next day, Roy was sipping tea on the living room sofa when Misaki Sasasaki finally arrived.

"Natsuki-chan, long time no see! I can't believe your place is a castle now! It's incredible!" Misaki exclaimed, amazed by the sight before her.

Just recently, this place was a modern apartment building. Now, it was a castle.

"You really came," Natsuki sighed, realizing Misaki had walked right into the lion's den.

"Well… I couldn't help it," Misaki said, blushing, recalling the time Roy had cornered her. She was curious about the powerful Demon Lord.

"He's in the living room. Go on," Natsuki said, pointing towards the living room, then turned to leave.

"Hey! Aren't you coming with me, Natsuki-chan?" Misaki asked, grabbing her.

"I'm not," Natsuki said, leaving, her face flushed.

Her room was close to Roy's, and her senses were sharp, so she had heard everything from the night before.

"How strange," Misaki muttered, heading to the living room.

"Yo! Misaki-sensei's here!" Roy said, lying on the sofa with his head on Asagi's lap.

Misaki, seeing his leisurely pose, pouted. "You're the one who called me!"

"Of course. Yukina, show Misaki-sensei to her room," Roy said, popping a grape that Asagi held out.

"Okay! Please follow me, sensei," Yukina said.

Misaki huffed but followed Yukina.

Roy shrugged, deciding that Misaki needed some taming.

——

Soon, the weekend was over, and it was Monday.

Natsuki had enrolled Sayaka and the others at the academy, so they could attend together.

But after school, they were attacked.

In a private area, with few passersby, two Familiars, one gold and one silver, blocked their way.

"Please be careful!" Yukina said, raising her spear, Schneewalzer, and cautiously facing the Familiars.

Sayaka and the others scanned the surroundings, searching for the summoner.

But they found no one.

"Roar!" The lions lunged at them.

These low-level Familiars were no match for Yukina, even before her transformation.

Now, with her enhanced Devil powers, they were even less of a challenge.

Sayaka drew her greatsword.

Together, they charged.

Slash! Thwack!

The battle was over in an instant, and the Familiars were vanquished.

Familiars didn't truly die when defeated; they returned to their master, who would suffer a backlash.

"Who was that?" Yukina asked, frowning.

"Look at this…" Sayaka said, picking up a black envelope and handing it to Roy.

Roy knew what it was. Someone was trying to pick a fight with him.

The letter was from Dimitrie Vatler, a vampire.

He was a duke from the territory of the "Warlord's Empire" and the owner of the luxurious cruise ship "Oceanus Grave."

He was known as the vampire closest to a Progenitor—having absorbed two Elder vampires.

——

"Roy, what is it?" Asagi asked, concerned.

"It's nothing. Just some fool vampire trying to stir up trouble," Roy said with a chuckle.

The girls frowned.

"Don't worry. Tonight, I'll take you to a party and clean up some of these death-seekers."

"A party? But I don't have a dress!" Asagi whined.

Yukina and the others echoed her concern. They had never attended a party and didn't have suitable attire.

"No problem. We'll go shopping now," Roy said, taking them to the mall.

The girls were delighted.

Roy spared no expense, allowing them to choose whatever they liked.

By the time they finished and returned home, it was evening.

Just in time for the party.

Roy took the girls to the luxurious cruise ship—"Oceanus Grave."
