  In the women's bath, Rias sat ier, staring bnkly at the surface, lost in thought.

  "Rias, what's wrong?" Akeno asked, interrupting her ption.

  "How strong do you think Roy is?" Rias wondered aloud.

  "Hehe, I don't know how strong Roy-kun is, but I'm sure he defeat Riser Phenex," Akeno reassured her with a smile.

  Rias eyes lit up. "Yes, you're right!"

  "Then Rias will bee Roy-kun's fiancée," Akeno teased.

  Rias blushed but didn't deny it.

  ...

  Meanwhile, Roy y in the men's bath, bored, his eyes closed.

  Suddenly, the door opened.

  Roy looked up and saw Akeering.

  "Akeno-senpai, what are you doing here?" he asked, surprised.

  "Ara ara, I thought Roy-kun might be lonely all by himself, so I came to join you," Akeno replied, approag him.

  Roy sighed.

  He wasn't some inpetent protagonist from a light novel. But this clearly wasn't the right time to "devour" Akeno.

  He could only express his frustration with a sigh. But thehought, 'If I 't devour her, there are other things I do...'

  ...

  Ba the women's bath, Rias noticed Akeno's absence.

  "Eh? Koneko, have you seen Akeno?"

  "No, I haven't," Koneko replied, engrossed in pying with Alid the others.

  "I saw Akeno leave earlier," Saeko informed them.

  "Oh, she left?" Rias nodded, but a sense of utled in her heart.

  ...

  The day, Roy fulfilled his promise to teach Rias and the others Breathing Styles.

  "Akeno-senpai excels at maniputing lightning, so Thunder Breathing would be most suitable for her. Saeko, would you mind teag her?" Roy delegated the task to Saeko.

  "No problem," Saeko readily agreed.

  After their sparring match, the two had bee good friends.

  Saeko was the perfect teacher for Akeno.

  Akeno had no objes either.

  "Koneko- is skilled in close bat, so Stone Breathing, whiharength and defense, would be ideal for her."

  "Yes, thank you, Roy-senpai," Koneko replied gratefully.

  Koneko had been struggling to increase her strength, as she was stantly suppressing her Nekomata powers.

  She was delighted to learn a new method to bee stronger.

  "Now, for Rias... hmm, which Breathing Style would suit her best?" Roy pondered.

  Rias usually relied on her Power of Destru in bat.

  "Rias, why don't you choose for yourself?" Roy decided to let her make the decision and expihe characteristics of each Breathing Style.

  After listening to his expnation, Rias asked, "Which Breathing Style do you use, Roy?"

  Roy paused, then replied, "Uh... I use Water Breathing."

  Rias smiled. "Then I'll learn Water Breathing too."

  Roy eechless but agreed heless.

  Saeko taught Akeno Thunder Breathing, while Roy instructed Rias and Koneko.

  The irls sparred with each other to hoheir skills.

  A week passed.

  Three days remained until the Rating Game against Riser Phenex.

  That evening, Rias addressed everyone.

  "Everyone, I assume you don't have Familiars yet. I've tacted a Familiar Master. We go capture Familiars tonight."

  Rias was doing everything she could to help them bee stronger.

  "Familiars?" Kanae and the others were curious.

  "Yes. Look..." Rias extended her hand.

  Poof!

  After a puff of smoke, a small Imp appeared, fpping its wings.

  "This is my Familiar," Rias expined with a smile.

  Then, with another puff of smoke, the Imp transformed into a beautiful girl with bck hair.

  "Wow! Amazing!"

  "She's so cute!"

  Asia and the others were amazed by the transformation.

  "This is my Familiar..." Akeno summoned her Familiar, a small Goblin with no distinctive features.

  "This is Shiro..." Koneko summoned her Familiar, a small white kitten that didn't seem very bat-capable. It seemed more like a pet.

  "For Devils, Familiars are very important. They assist their masters, rey messages, track targets, scout, and much more," Rias expihe various uses of Familiars.

  "Let's go then!" Asia was eager to capture a cute Familiar.

  "Alright, everyoher around," Rias said with a smile.

  Once everyone was ready, Rias activated a magic circle, and they vanished.

  ...

  Underworld, the Familiar Forest.

  A crimson magic circle appeared, and Roy, Rias, and the others emerged.

  "This is the Familiar Forest. We all captured our Familiars here," Rias expined, looking around.

  The sky was a dark crimson, and strarees grew all around them.

  Eerie sounds echoed through the forest, creating an uling atmosphere.

  Even Alice, usually cheerful and eic, g to Roy's clothes nervously, afraid to wander off.

  "Good evening, everyone!" a voice suddenly boomed, startling the girls.

  "Wele to the Familiar Forest! I am the legendary Familiar Master!"

  A skinny old man with a backpack stood on a branch, looking down at them.

  "Familiar Master?" Asia and the others looked at the old man curiously.

  "Indeed! And tonight is a full moon, the perfect time to capture Familiars!" the Familiar Master decred, striking a pose. "Follow me, and you'll all find the perfect Familiars!"

  Roy rolled his eyes at the old man's theatrics.

  "He's an expert on Familiars," Akeno expined.

  Roy was skeptical. In the inal story, it seemed he had only mao find a Familiar for Asia.

  "Now, what kind of Familiars are you looking for? Strong? Agile? Poisonous?" The Familiar Master enthusiastically described various types of Familiars, fident in his extensive knowledge.

  "Um, I want a cute Familiar..."

  "Are there any dog-like Familiars?"

  "How about butterfly Familiars?"

  "It would be best if it could fly..."

  "I want..."

  The girls chimed in with their preferences, each request refleg their personalities.

  "Hahaha... Leave it all to me!" the Familiar Master decred. "Let's go!"

  He led them deeper into the forest.

  Despite his ceit and rambling, he lived up to his title as a Familiar Master.

  He was incredibly knowledgeable about various Familiars and knew where to find rare ones.

  They entered many Familiars along the way, but most were on and ordinary.

  The cute ones were too weak to be of much help.

  The stronger ones were often hideous, and the girls weren't ied.

  Just like the one before them now.

  The Familiar Master led them to a ke.

  "In this ke lives a Water Spirit, Undine..."

  "Ooh! Undine is about to appear!" The Familiar Master pointed excitedly towards the ter of the ke.

  A gentle light flickered, and a muscur figure slowly rose from the water.

  "Haa!" A buff woman with bulging muscles turowards them and roared, her imposing aura filling the air.

  Just as I expected... Roy sighed inwardly.

  "You're in luck! That's Uhe Familiar Master decred, crossing his arms with a smug grin.

  "Uh..." Shinobu and the others were less than thrilled by the muscur, Amazonian Undine.

  Only Asia seemed eager. "Her eyes are so clear. She must have a ki!"

  "Asia, you said you wanted a cute Familiar. Let's skip this one," Roy said, trying to dissuade her.

  He didn't want such a brawny woman in his household.

  "Aw, that's too bad." Asia relutly agreed.

  The Familiar Master led them onward.

  "Wait, look over there!" he suddenly excimed, pointing towards a branch.

  They all looked in the dire he ointing and saw a small blue dragon perched on the branch.

  "It's a Dragon!"

  "So cute!"

  Asia and the others were instantly smitten with the adorable dragon.

  "That's a Sprite Dragon, a young dragon that uses blue lightning," the Familiar Master expined. "If you want to catch it, do it now. It'll be much harder o grows up."

  "It seems quite promising," Rias ented, also impressed by the Dragon.

  Roy, however, disliked the blue Dragon. He remembered from the inal story that it was quite lecherous.

  He wouldn't allow such a creature into his home.

  Just then, the Dragon suddenly flew towards them.

  As it approached Roy, it unleashed a bolt of blue lightning.

  Roy smirked, effortlessly defleg the attad swatting the Dragon away.

  The small Dragon was no match for Roy's strength and was sent flying.

  "Wait... wait..." The Familiar Master tried to stop it, but it was too te.

  "Sprite Dragons are usually only ied in pure maidens," he expined. "That one must have taken a liking to this young dy." He poi Asia.

  "And male Dragons are very hostile towards other males, which is why it attacked this young man."

  The girls finally uood. The Dragon had attacked Roy because it was attracted to Asia and saw Roy as a rival.

  But thanks to Roy's swat, it was gone, and they couldn't retrieve it now.

  They all looked at Roy with exasperation.

  "Haha, don't worry, Asia. We might find an even cuter Familiar ter," Roy said, trying to fort her.

  "Okay," Asia replied, no longer dwelling on the lost Dragon.

  They tiheir search, but they couldn't find any suitable Familiars.

  "Let's call it a day," Rias decided. It was getting te, and they could tiheir searorrow.

  They returo the estate.

  The girls were disappoihat they hadn't captured any Familiars.

  Roy thought for a moment, then opened his system interface.

  Although no new worlds had appeared, he noticed that he had gained aravel attempt. His eyes lit up.

  Among the previously avaible worlds was the world of *Pokémon*.

  This erfect for their current situation.

  If there was one world teeming with potential Familiars, it was the *Pokémon* world.

  There were tless Pokémon with incredible potential and diverse abilities.

  Most importantly, there were many adorable ones.

  *Tomorrow, I'll take them to the Pokémon world to catch Familiars,* Roy decided.

  He turo the girls with a mysterious smile. "Get some rest, everyoomorrow, I'll take you to a pce where you all find the Familiars you desire."

  "Really?"

  "Of course."

  Roy answered their questions without hesitation.

  "But is there really such a pce?" Rias wohe Familiar Forest was widely sidered the best p the Underworld to find Familiars.

  Was there anywhere better?

  "Haha, don't worry. There is. And Rias, you cate too," Roy assured her.

  "Eh? We too?" Rias was surprised.

  "Of course."

  Rias and the others already had Familiars, but Pokémon didn't require tracts to be captured.

  The girls went to bed, filled with anticipation for the day.

  ...

  The m, Roy greeted Rias.

  "Good m, Roy!"

  "Good m, Rias!"
