  Roy also disliked Riser, but he didn't envy him.

  He had already surpassed him.

  "Mother said she'd be happy to trade me again if I wao be someone else's servant. So, I'm practically a free agent. Besides, Mother doesn't participate in Rating Games anyway," Ravel expined, gng at Roy meaningfully.

  Was she hinting at something?

  Roy stroked his , then asked with a smile, "So, how about being my Bishop?"

  "What?!" Ravel's eyes widened in surprise.

  Although she had sidered it, she was flustered by his direess.

  "H-How I..." she stammered, her face flushed.

  "Haha, just kidding," Roy chuckled.

  Ravel's heart sank slightly.

  "I uand, Roy-sama. Would you like to have tea with me ime?" she asked.

  "Oh?"

  "I-If you don't mind, I even bake a cake for you."

  "Sure," Roy agreed with a smile.

  "I have to greet the uests now... Goodbye, Roy-sama!" Ravel curtsied and quickly left.

  "As expected of Roy, you've charmed anirl," Mine whispered in his ear.

  "Are you jealous, Mine?" Roy teased.

  "No way!" Miurned away with a huff.

  "Don't deny it. or I'll show you what I do." Roy tickled her sides.

  "Hahaha!" Mine burst into ughter, rolling around pyfully.

  Asia, seeing them having fun, joined in.

  ...

  Just then, Koneko rushed past them.

  She must have sensed her sister, Kuroka.

  "You guys stay here. I'll go che Koneko-," Roy said, getting up and following Koneko.

  Rias also followed him.

  "Roy, what's wrong?"

  Roy pulled her into aor and closed the door.

  "I saw Koneko rush out. I'm a bit worried," he expined.

  "The's go fiogether."

  "Okay."

  They followed Koneko.

  "Wait, let's see who she's meeting first," Roy said, stopping Rias.

  Rias nodded.

  They discreetly followed Koneko, who seemed to be searg for someone.

  Then, she stopped and looked towards a certain dire.

  Roy and Rias followed her gaze.

  "Long time no see," a zy, seductive voice purred from a tree.

  A girl with bck hair, cat ears, and a voluptuous figure was lounging on a branch.

  "Hello, Koneko," the girl greeted her.

  "Kuroka-neesan...!" Koneko's voice was filled with apprehension.

  "Just a little bit of my aura, and you came running. I'm so touched, nya," Kuroka purred, her revealing outfit quite a view.

  "Nee-san, what's going on?" Koneko asked, her expression serious.

  She knew her sister wouldn't appear here without a reason.

  "Don't look so scary. I just have some busio attend to. I heard the Devils are having a grand gathering here. I was curious, nya," Kuroka replied with a pyful wink.

  Koneko frowned. She didn't believe her.

  "What's your real purpose?"

  "Koneko, I'm here to take you with me."

  "I was too busy running for my life before, so I couldn't take you with me..." Kuroka hesitated.

  "Kuroka, are you going to tinue ign those Devils?" a young man suddenly appeared nearby.

  He carried an iron staff and wore a golden headband.

  This was Bikou, a member of the Khaade.

  "Those of us who know Senjutsu easily sehe flow of energy and know what's happening," Bikou said, looking towards Roy and Rias's hiding spot.

  Roy and Rias stepped out.

  They hadn't been hiding seriously. Bikou and Kuroka wouldn't have been able to detect them otherwise.

  "It's him..." Bikou's eyes widened as he reized Roy.

  "Yo, Bikou, long time no see," Roy greeted him with a smile.

  Kuroka looked at Roy curiously.

  "Bikou, do you know him?"

  "Well, we've met. He's the one who defeated Vali twice."

  "What? He's Roy?" Kuroka gasped, staring at Roy in surprise.

  They knew how strong Vali was. They sidered him the stro among the young geion.

  But retly, he had beeed twice by the same person.

  And each time, his injuries were more severe than before. He still hadn't fully recovered.

  That's how they learned about a young Devil named Roy.

  The Khaade had a rule: Avoid Roy Lucifuge at all costs.

  They hadn't expected to enter him here.

  "Kuroka, we should retreat. This could be troublesome," Bikou whispered to Kuroka.

  "No, I have to take Koneko with me today," Kuroka insisted.

  This was the perfect opportunity to take Koneko away.

  "Kuroka, Koneko is my servant. I won't let you take her," Rias decred, crossing her arms.

  "What are you saying? Koneko is my little sister! I won't hand her over to a Devil!" Kuroka retorted.

  "I'm a servant of the Gremory . I won't go with you, Nee-san," Koneko said, her gaze firm.

  "Then I'll have to take you by force," Kuroka sighed.

  "Kuroka, are you really going to fight them?" Bikou asked, exasperated.

  "Of course. I'm taking Koneko with me."

  "Ahem, if you want to take Koneko, you'll have to gh me," Roy interjected with a smile.

  "..." Kuroka and Bikou looked at him warily.

  ...

  ...

  In the inal story, Rias had been no match for Kuroka, and Bikou had fought the Dragon King, Tannin, to a standstill.

  This meant they both possessed Ultimate-css.

  Koneko, hearing Roy's words, was touched.

  But she refused his help.

  "Kuroka-neesan, I won't go with you," she decred, her eyes filled with determination.

  A powerful aura erupted from her.

  Koneko had formed a tract with a high-rankih Elemental, a cat spirit, in the world of Bdedance of Elementalers. Her strength had reached the peak of High-css.

  But even so, she couldn't defeat Kuroka.

  "Koneko, you've unlocked your potential?" Kuroka looked at her sister in surprise.

  "But if you tinue down this path, you'll end up like me."

  She was referring to the path of killing one's master and being a Stray Devil.

  But Koneko was unfazed.

  "I won't be like you. My power isn't that kind of darkness."

  Kuroka khat Koneko's power was different from hers. She had just been trying to provoke her.

  Seeing that Koneko wouldn't be swayed, Kuroka finally decided to fight.

  "Nya~ If you won't listen, Koneko, then I'll have to take you by force."

  Koneko didn't reply. She summoned her Elemental Waffe, a pair of cat paw gaus.

  She then charged towards Kuroka.

  With the boost from her Elemental Waffe, her punch was incredibly powerful.

  It struck Kuroka, sending a shockwave through the air.

  But before Koneko could celebrate, Kuroka's body dissolved into smoke.

  "That was a good punch. But useless, useless. Creating illusions and es is child's py with Senjutsu," Kuroka's voice echoed through the forest, her location unknown.

  Koneko couldn't find her.

  Kuroka suddenly appeared behind Koneko and fired several magic bsts.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The bsts struck Koneko, who was caught off guard.

  But thanks to her Earth spirit's prote, she wasn't injured.

  Earth spirits were known for their defense and strength.

  Koneko charged again.

  This time, Kuroka dodged her attacks, toying with her like a cat pying with a mouse.

  Roy, however, saw through her pn.

  A thin mist had silently enveloped the area.

  It reading, sloroag them.

  Kuroka stopped pying with Koneko and used her Senjutsu to restrain her.

  "Well then, I'll be taking Koneko now," she decred, looking at Roy and Rias with a smug grin.

  "Koneko is my family. I won't let you take her," Rias retorted, about to attack.

  "What's this?" But she suddenly felt weak.

  "Ara ara, have you noticed? This mist is a special poison that only affects Devils and Youkai. Surprised? Nya~" Kuroka gloated.

  She was fident that even Roy couldn't do anything against this poison.

  "This little trick is useless against me," Roy chuckled, pg his hand on Rias's shoulder.

  In an instant, the poison urged from her body.

  Such a oison had no effe him.

  "What?!!" Kuroka and Bikou gasped in shock.

  This poison had always been effective, yet it had no effe Roy.

  "Kuroka, you said you wao make amends with Koneko. Then stay here," Roy decred.

  Kuroka and Bikou immediately leaped into the air.

  An ice mountaied from the spot where they had been standing.

  If they had been a moment slower, they would have been frozen solid.

  "It seems I 't take Koneko with me. What a shame. Bikou, let's retreat," Kuroka said to Bikou.

  "Finally! I told you we shouldn't fight them!" Bikou excimed, relieved.

  But just as he was about to teleport away...

  "Secret Art: Millennium Ice Prison!" Roy ted.

  Ice pilrs formed from the moisture in the air, eng Kuroka and Bikou.

  "Damn it!"

  Bikou smmed his staff against the ice, but it wouldn't budge.

  Kuroka also tried to use her Senjutsu, but it was equally iive.

  "..."

  "I told you we shouldn't fight them!" Bikou grumbled. Even Vali, had beeed. He didn't want to face Roy.

  "pining won't help now," Kuroka retorted with a gre.

  "Don't bother struggling. You 't escape from the Millennium Ice Prison," Roy said with a smirk, then turo Koneko. "Koneko, do you want to keep Kuroka here and ask her about what happened all those years ago?"

  "Yes!" Koneko nodded. She also wao know the truth.

  "Then this monkey is useless." Roy stroked his , then released Bikou from the ice prison.

  "Go bad tell Vali that I've taken Kuroka. If he wants her back, he send Ophis herself," Roy instructed.

  "Alright, I'll tell him," Bikou agreed, then teleported away without another word.

  Roy approached Kuroka and patted her shoulder. "e with me. Don't try to escape. I've pced a spell on you. No matter where you run, I'll find you."

  He then walked towards Koneko.

  Kuroka, hearing his words, abandoned any thoughts of escape.

  She didn't doubt him.

  "Ara ara, Koneko, it seems we'll be together from now on, nya," Kuroka said with a sigh, approag her sister.

  "Kuroka-neesan, I want to know what happened back then," Koneko said, her gaze serious.

  "You already know, don't you? I killed my master because I gaioo much power," Kuroka replied.

  "No... that's not true!" Koneko shook her head, refusing to believe her.
