  "What kind of Familiars are those?" Kiyome Abe asked curiously, Alid the others' Pokémon.

  Despite being from a family of Magis, she had never seen such creatures before.

  "This is Growlithe! Isn't he cool?" Alice boasted.

  "He's certainly impressive," Kiyome agreed.

  Just then, Akeno finally decided to intervene.

  "Resound through the heaven, Divine Lightning!" she decred, unleashing a bolt of golden lightning that struck the Stray Devil, leaving it charred and smoking.

  "Ara ara, it seems that's the end of that," Akeno said with a hint of disappoi. She hadn't expected the Stray Devil to be so easily defeated.

  "Now that the mission is plete, let's head back," Rias announced.

  Roy nodded in agreement.

  It was time to return. Shizuka and the others would be waiting.

  Suddenly, they heard footsteps approag. Two figures appeared at the warehouse entrance.

  "We smelled a foul stench from afar. So it's Devils," one of the figures decred.

  "What a mess you Devils have made," the other added with a sneer.

  The two girls, oh short blue hair and the other with brown pigtails, wore white Church robes.

  Roy instantly reized them as the Church duo, Xenovia and Irina Shidou.

  He hadn't expected to enter them here.

  "You two must be members of the Church. What brings you to Devil territory?" Rias asked, surprised by their appearance.

  "We have some matters to discuss with you Devils," Xenovia replied, crossing her arms with an arrogant air.

  "This isn't a suitable pce for a discussion. Why don't we return to a more appropriate setting?" Roy suggested with a sly smile, amused by their arrogance.

  Xenovia and Irina didn't object.

  Roy opened a teleportation circle, and they all returo his castle.

  ????

  In the feren, the two groups sat fag each other.

  "Thank you freeing to this meeting," Xenovia began.

  "I am Xenovia."

  "And I am Irina Shidou."

  They introduced themselves.

  "So, what is it that you wish to discuss?" Rias asked, her arms crossed.

  Irina got straight to the point. "Excluding the ohat was lost, the remaining six Excalibur swords were kept by the three fas of the Church. However, three of them were stolen by the Fallen Angels."

  "Stolen?" Rias and Akeno were surprised.

  Roy chuckled inwardly. 'They have the o admit they were robbed?'

  "We currently only possess the Excalibur Destru and..." Xenovia trailed off, looking at Irina.

  Irina puffed out her chest proudly. "And the Excalibur Mimic, which I wield."

  Roy eechless. They had just revealed their trump cards without any prompting..

  If they entered any malicious individuals, they might be sold off before they even realized it.

  "So, what do you want us to do?" Rias asked.

  "This is a matter between us and the Fallen Angels. Any unnecessary interference from Devils will only plicate things," Xenovia decred.

  Her words were clearly a threat, warning Rias not to get involved.

  Roy couldn't help but ugh.

  These two newbies, with their Middle-bsp;Devil strength, were threatening Rias on her owory.

  Could it get any more ridiculous?

  "What are you ughing at?" Irina gred at Roy.

  "I just remembered something amusing," Roy replied, stifling his ughter.

  "What's so amusing?" Irina seemed intrigued.

  "Yesterday, I saw a calf trying to fight a lion. Hahahaha... Isn't that hirious?"

  "A calf? A lion? What do you mean?"

  Saya, Saeko, and the others, however, uood Roy's meaning and chuckled.

  "Idiot!" Xenovia and Irina huffed, turning away.

  "Are you suggesting that we would collude with the Fallen Ao steal the Excalibur swords?" Rias asked, her voice still calm, but her eyes fshed with anger.

  "For Devils, the Excalibur swords are forbidden objects. It's not impossible for you to join forces with the Fallen Angels," Xenovia replied with a shrug.

  Rias could no longer tain her anger. Her aura fred.

  But the two clueless girls remained oblivious.

  "If that were the case, I would eliminate you all, even if you are the Satan's sister," Xenovia decred fidently.

  Roy burst into ughter, uo hold it bay longer.

  Xenovia's words were very stupid. Anyone else would have retaliated against such a threat, even if they didn't kill them ht.

  They were making enemies and seemed proud of it.

  Xenovia and Irina gred at him.

  "Yhing at us, aren't you?! You've been ughing at us this whole time!" Irina excimed, smming her hands oable.

  "Hahahaha, you're just realizing that now? You two are really clueless!" Roy mocked.

  "You e to my territory, make threats, and cim you'll eliminate us?"

  "Who gave you this fidehose two Excalibur swords? You're hirious!"

  Xenovia and Irina were ehey reached for their swords, ready to attack.

  "You must be the one who defeated Riser Phenex retly."

  "Don't uimate us. I'll show you the power of the Excalibur!" Irina decred.

  "Oh? I'd love to teach you some manners" Roy replied with a smirk.

  He snapped his fingers.

  "Saeko!"

  "Yes!" Saeko stepped forward with a smile and approached Xenovia and Irina.

  "Please, follow me to the training room."

  "Hmph! Fine!" Irina huffed, and the two girls followed Saeko.

  They weren't afraid of the Satan's sister, so they certainly weren't afraid of Roy.

  ????

  They arrived at the spacious training room within the castle.

  "Saeko, Kanao, you'll be their oppos," Roy instructed.

  Xenovia and Irina were only Middle-Css, but with the Excalibur swords, they could even fight those at the peak of that level.

  However, Saeko and Kanao weren't normal Middle-bsp;Devils. They were more than enough to hahe two girls.

  "Let's begin!"

  Xenovia and Irina dramatically threw off their Church robes.

  "The Church wouldn't be happy about this."

  "Please allow me to enjoy myself, as long as we don't kill each other."

  With those words, they unleashed the power of their Excalibur swords.

  "I'll make sure you enjoy yourself," Saeko replied with a sly smile, her fighting spirit burning.

  Kanao simply observed them silently.

  The battle began.

  Saeko faced Xenovia, while Kanao faced Irina.

  g! g! g!

  Csh! Csh! Csh!

  The battle was fierce from the start.

  Xenovia, wielded the Excalibur Destru.

  Her every strike owerful aructive.

  However, she was at a disadvantage against Saeko's incredible speed.

  Saeko effortlessly evaded every attack.

  Meanwhile, Kanao's fight against Irina was one-sided.

  Kanao didn't py around like Saeko.

  She fought with her full strength, aiming for a swift victory.

  This was what Shinobu had taught her during her Demoraining.

  "Flower Breathing, Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo!"

  Kanao unleashed a two-step ssh, arg upwards.

  "So fast!" Irina excimed, struggling to defend against Kanao's relentless assault.

  "Damn it, why is she s? She's even youhan me!"

  Kanao possessed exceptional eyesight.

  By her oppo's subtle movements – their shoulders, gaze, fiips, elbows, knees – she could predict their move.

  Irina, a novi parison, was no match for her.

  Within moments, Kanao's bde was at Irina's neck.

  Irina froze, drenched in cold sweat.

  Saeko, seeing that Kanao had already defeated her oppo, decided to end her own fight as well.

  "Thunder Breathing, Sed Form: Rice Spirit!"

  With a fsh of lightning, Saeko appeared before Xenovia.

  She unleashed five lightning-fast strikes, her movements too quick for the eye to follow.

  "What?!" Xenovia gasped, shocked by Saeko's sudden appearance.

  g! g! g! g! g!

  Five resounding cshes echoed through the training room as Xenovia was sent flying, her Excalibur Destru flung from her grasp.

  "You lose," Saeko decred, her sword poi the fallen Xenovia, her face flushed with exertion.

  Her five strikes had only hit the Excalibur Destru. Otherwise, Xenovia would have been killed.

  "We lost," Xenovia admitted, defeated. She and Irina had been ceited.

  "However..."

  "We must carry out our mission to destroy the Excalibur swords, no matter what!" Xenovia decred, her resolve unwavering.

  They prepared to leave.

  Before departing, Xenovia g Asia, seemingly wanting to say something.

  But she remained silent.

  "Wait, who is this Fallen Angel who stole the Excalibur swords?" Rias asked, wanting to know their enemy's identity.

  "It's the Fallen Angel cadre, Kokabiel," Irina replied.

  "You tw to face a Fallen Angel cadre?" Roy scoffed.

  "Are you suicidal?"

  In his eyes, Xenovia and Irina were pletely outmatched against Kokabiel.

  Kokabiel owerful Fallen Angel who had survived the war between Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels.

  "We're prepared to die if it mearoying the Excalibur swords," Irina said with a determined smile.

  With that, the two girls left.

  Roy didn't try to stop them.

  He knew Kokabiel's objective was to instigate a war between Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils.

  He would undoubtedly target Rias, Sona, and perhaps even Roy himself.

  As for Xenovia and Irina, they were merely paw by the Church to their deaths.

  He would let them suffer a bit first. It would make it easier for Rias to recruit them ter.

  Yes, Roy intended for those two to bee part of Rias's peerage. And what beloo Rias also beloo him.

  But first, he o bee stronger.

  Of course, Kokabiel himself wasn't a major threat.

  However, the Khaade would likely get involved, creating uable variables.

  He had to increase his strength.

  ????

  Ba his room, Roy checked the system interface.

  The world-travel fun had refreshed, presenting him with three new worlds.

  The first world: Atta Titan.

  This was a world ruled by Titans.

  Although powerful pared to ordinary humans, the stroitans were only equivalent to Middle-bsp;Devils.

  This world held little value for Roy. Perhaps Mikasa Ackerman could be a potential servant, but that wasn't his priority right now.

  The sed world: Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai.

  Another slice-of-life world. But who could resist Mai Sakurajima?

  Perhaps, when he had time, he could indulge his inner desires and bring Mai back with him.

  The third world: Akame ga Kill!

  Roy's eyes lit up. It seemed he had found his Queen.

  Esdeath, the beautiful and sadistieral, was ruthless towards her enemies but incredibly g towards her subordinates.

  She was a true queen, but when it came to love, she was surprisingly gentle and affeate.

  Her power was terrifying. In the inal story, it was mentiohat defeating her would require an army of over fifty thousand soldiers and more thaeigu users, including Akame.

  But iy, she was even strohan that.

  Esdeath had single-handedly fought against millions of soldiers and over a dozen Teigu users, showg her overwhelming power.

  In Roy's estimation, she was at least a High-bsp;Devil.

  Ultimate-bsp;Devils could destroy cities, and Esdeath didn't seem to be at that level yet.

  However, she possessed a powerful trump card, Mahapadma, which could freeze time and space. Even a Ultimate-bsp;Devil couldn't uimate her.

  I must quer Esdeath and make her my Queen, Roy decided.

  But due to the dark, violent, and bloody nature of that world, he would only take Saeko with him.

  The irls were too pure and i. He didn't want to expose them to such darkness.

  Roy summoned Saeko to his room, and they vaogether.
