  "It seems like he's experieng a breakthrough and awakening his bloodline ability," Saeko expihoughtfully.

  Roy had previously told them about the Devil s in the Underworld.

  Most of the 72 Pilrs Devil families had unique abilities that would awaken at some point.

  For example, Rias had the Power of Destru, and Riser Phenex had the Phoenix's immortality.

  Now, Roy had finally awakened his Devil ability, and Saeko was overjoyed for him.

  "Hahaha! I never expected to awaken a Devil ability. What a surprise!" Roy excimed, genuinely astonished. He would have to ask his sister about this wheurned.

  It seemed he had awakened an ice-based magic ability. This had immeential, and Roy immediately thought of many ice-based teiques he could learn.

  "gratutions!"

  "gratutions, Roy-onii-!"

  Saeko and the others offered their gratutions.

  "Haha, I'm in a good mood today. Let's go shopping!" Roy decred, leading the girls on a shopping spree.

  Few girls could resist the allure of shopping.

  Over the few days, Roy spent his time training and enjoying himself with the girls.

  All the girls at the Butterfly Mansion, except for Kanao Tsuyuri, who articipating in the Final Sele, had bee his servants.

  Although he had promised to seek their sent, with Shinobu and Kanae already his servants, there was no reason for the others to refuse.

  When the Final Sele ended, Kanao returo the Butterfly Mansion.

  Seeing Kanae, she froze in pce, her eyes wide with shock.

  "Kanao, why are you just standing there? e here!" Kanae said with a warm smile, opening her arms.

  Hearing Kanae's voice, Kanao finally reacted.

  She rushed towards Kanae and embraced her tightly.

  Tears streamed down her face silently.

  Kanae felt a pang of sympathy.

  Although Kanao was usually quiet and reserved, she was deeply attached to Kanae.

  "Kanao, you've grown up! But you're still so adorable." Kanae hugged Kanao and nuzzled her cheek.

  Shinobu rolled her eyes. Kanae had always doted on Kanao, and it seemed nothing had ged.

  "Kanao, would you like to bey servant?" Roy asked, extending an invitation.

  This was something both Kanae and Shinobu had agreed upon.

  Sihey were leaving with Roy, they couldn't leave Kanao behind.

  Kanao looked at Kanae, hoping for an answer.

  Due to her childhood experiences, Kanaled with making decisions, so she relied on Kanae fuidance.

  However, Kanae simply smiled at her, leaving the choice to Kanao.

  Kanao silently took out a from her pocket.

  This was a method Kanae had taught her. Whenever she faced a difficult decision, she would flip a .

  Roy, however, couldn't allow her to rely on ce. What if the toss resulted in a refusal?

  He gently grasped Kanao's hand.

  "You 't make su important decision with a toss, Kanao," he said. "How about this? If you want to be with Kanae-nee-san and Shinobu-nee-san, nod your head. If not, shake your head. How does that sound?"

  Shinobu couldn't help but interject. "Hey! That's not a choice at all!"

  "Well, I tell Kanao has trouble making decisions. So, with only oion, she won't have tle," Roy expined with a pyful grin.

  Shinobu couldn't argue with that. She couldn't bear to leave Kanao behind.

  As expected, with only one choice, Kanao nodded without hesitation.

  Shinobu sighed. Although she wao tinue g for Kanao, she was a bit ahat Roy had succeeded so easily.

  "It seems Shinobu cares deeply for Roy-san," Kanae whispered in Shinobu's ear, notig her sigh.

  Shinobu blushed.

  "That's not true! I don't!" she denied vehemently.

  Kanae simply smiled without saying anything more.

  Roy then began the Devil transformation ritual.

  "By the name of Roy Lucifuge, I and thee, Kanao Tsuyuri, to bey servant Devil, reborn as my Knight!"

  A Knight piece merged into Kanao's body, and Devil wings unfolded, signifying the successful tract.
