  "I see," Saira said, uanding Roy's iions.

  This way, he could fight at his full potential.

  "Thank you," he said gratefully.

  "I look forward to your performance," Roy replied with a smile.

  Their retionship had subtly shifted. It was no longer a battle between equals.

  It was a challenge from a subordio a superior.

  And Roy was the superior.

  They were then transported to the arena.

  It was a vast expanse of outer space, with a white, barren ndscape below.

  Roy and Saira appeared there.

  Roy hadn't brought any of his servants.

  Saira, however, had his remaining Queen, Bishop, and Pawn with him.

  "Saira, show me your full strength," Roy said with a fident smirk.

  Saira was silent for a moment.

  "Saira-sama, please wear me!" a voice suddenly pleaded.

  A young man with blond hair k before Saira.

  He then transformed into a golden lion.

  This was Saira's Sacred Gear, the "Regulus Nemea."

  It was a se Sacred Gear that had easily defeated Rias in its first appearance.

  "Please use my power!" the Lion King pleaded again.

  "Silehat power is only to be used in times of crisis for the Underworld!" Saira roared.

  He had overe his weakness and reached his current strength through his own efforts.

  He didn't want to rely oernal power to win.

  "Saira, you've earhe Lion King's reition. It's your power now. Use it," Red.

  Saira was being too stubborn. He didn't uand that the Sacred Gear art of him.

  Saira sidered Roy's words, then nodded in agreement.

  "You're right. How could I have such foolish thoughts..."

  "I thought I would never o use it."

  He shook his head, then decred, "Alright, the's begin!"

  The Lion King transformed into a golden light and merged with Saira.

  "My lion! King of Nemea! You, who has been called King of Lions! Answer my howl and turn into my armor!!"

  "Bance Breaker: Regulus Rey Leather Rex!"

  Saira donned a golden suit of armor.

  'He looks like a Gold Saint from Saint Seiya' Roy thought with amusement.

  "Roy, thank you for allowio use the Regulus Nemea. I'll fight you with everything I've got," Saira decred, his fighting spirit burning.

  "Then, as a sign of respect, I'll also use my full power. e at me!" Roy replied, being him with a grin.

  "Here I e!" Saira roared, charging towards Roy and throwing a punch with all his might.

  Roy simply raised a hand to block.

  BOOM!

  Their fists collided.

  A powerful shockwave erupted, but Roy's hand didn't budge.

  Saira's eyes widened in surprise.

  Although he had been prepared for Roy's strength, he was still shocked that his full-powered attack had no effect.

  He didn't hesitate and attacked again.

  Bam! Bam! Bam!

  His punches were incredibly fast, a blur of fists.

  But Roy effortlessly blocked every attack with his hand.

  Saira felt a sense of despair.

  "Damn it! I have to achieve my dream! I 't fall here!" he roared, his determination unwavering as he tinued his assault despite his exhaustion.

  'What a strong will!' Roy thought, impressed.

  Saira's willpower was far greater than Vali's.

  Roy had to admit, he admired Saira's spirit.

  He smirked.

  "Secret Art: Ice Thousand Armed Kannon!"

  He would show Saira the respect he deserved by defeating him with his full power.

  A Thousaer tall Kannon statue materialized behind Roy.

  Although it was the same size as before, its power was far greater now.

  The Kannon's tless fists rained down on Saira.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  The ground shook violently, and dust filled the air.

  Saira's Queen and Bishop were forced to retreat.

  After a while, Roy dispelled the dust with a wave of his hand.

  Saira y unscious amidst the rubble.

  "Saira Bael has lost sciousness and is eliminated!" the announcer decred.

  ...

  The audieed in cheers. It had been an incredible match.

  After Saira was teleported away, Roy looked at his Queen and Bishop. "Do you still want to fight?" he asked with a smile.

  "N-No, we surrender!" they replied immediately.

  Their King had beeed. They had no ce against Roy.

  "The Bael team has surrehe winner of this Rating Game is Roy Lucifuge! Let's give him a round of appuse!"

  The audience roared their approval.

  "We won!"

  "Roy-sama was so cool!"

  "Yes, yes!"

  Saeko and Esdeath were calm, but Asia and Aika were overjoyed, discussing pns for a "night raid" on Roy.

  "Alright, let's head back," Roy said, returning to the ptform and flig Aika on the forehead fgesting those "iing" positions.

  "gratutions, Roy!"

  "You won!"

  ...

  He met up with Rias and Sona, who gratuted him.

  They returo the Gremory mansion.

  That night, after a celebratory feast, Sona led Roy to the baly.

  The night sky was filled with stars, and the moon illumihe nd below.

  "So, it's my turn to face you , isn't it?" Roy asked with a smile, leaning against the railing and sipping his wine.

  "Yes," Sona replied, also leaning against the railing, her expression thoughtful.

  "Sreement still stands?"

  "Of course." Sona smiled at him.

  She wasn't wearing her gsses tonight.

  She looked even more beautiful without them.

  "The ready to be my bride, Sona," Roy decred, pulling her into an embrace.

  Sona blushed, then giggled pyfully.

  "There's a surprise if you win."

  "Oh?" Roy looked at her curiously.

  "You'll see," Sona replied with a mysterious smile.

  Roy didn't press further.

  ...

  In this Rating Game tour anized by Sirzechs, almost every Young Devil would face each other in a match.

  Roy's oppos, however, almost always forfeited.

  So, he spent his time watg Rias and Sona's matches.

  Soon, it was his turn to face Sona.

  The match was highly anticipated.

  "Roy, good luck!"

  "Sona, you too!"

  "Yes, Sona-kaichou, defeat the Maou!"

  "Yeah, take down the Night Demon King!"

  Roy was a bit speechless.

  Aika and the others were actually cheering for Sona.

  The arena acked, and the audience roared with excitement as Roy and his peerage entered.

  This match was a standard team battle.

  They were transported to the subspace arena.

  It was a group of isnds in the o.

  Roy's team started on a small isnd, which served as their base.

  Sona's team was on another isnd.

  "You guys wait here. I'll go alone," Roy said, pnning to let the girls rest.

  "Roy, g Sona-kaichou back!" Asia cheered.

  "Don't worry, I will," Roy replied with a smile, patting her head.

  He theowards Sona's isnd.

  He spotted Serafall along the way.

  "Roy-kun, although I've agreed to share Sona- with you, if you want her pletely, you'll have to defeat me first," Serafall decred, striking a pose with her magical girl outfit and staff.

  The audience was in an uproar.

  "Oh my! Maou Serafall-sama is participating personally! What's going on?"

  "Let's see... It seems Serafall-sama is ag as Sona's Queen!"

  The announcer's enthusiastientary excited the audience even further.

  "Serafall-san, we iate? I'll make more magical girl manga for you if you let me pass. How about that?" Roy offered.

  "More magical girl manga?" Serafall's resolve wavered.

  "No, Sona- told me to stop you. If I don't, she won't talk to me for a month," Serafall said with a sigh.

  "Fine." Roy shrugged.

  "Then take this!" Serafall shouted, unleashing her magic.

  An ice dragon materialized in the sky and luowards Roy.

  She specialized in ice magic.

  'Trying to use ice against me?' Roy thought, amused.

  He snapped his fingers.

  Snap!

  The ice dragon froze mid-air, then turned and attacked Serafall.

  "What?!" Serafall was stunned.

  She quickly jured an ice wall to block the dragon's attack.

  "What's going on?" she asked, bewildered.

  Roy chuckled.

  "Because I am the master of ice."

  "Now then, I don't have time to py with you."

  He appeared before Serafall in a fsh and pced his hand on her shoulder.

  "Secret Art: Ice Prison!"

  Serafall was encased in ice, her head the only part remaining free.

  "Please wait here for a bit. I'll release you ter," Roy said with a smile, patting her head before leaving.

  "Damn it! I 't break free! Roy-ku me out!" Serafall shouted, struggling in vain.

  But Roy was already gone.

  He soon found Tsubaki and the others.

  Since Serafall had taken the Queen position, Tsubaki articipating as a Pawn.

  "If you want to see Kaichou, you'll have to defeat us first."

  "That's right! We won't let you have her so easily!"

  "But if Kaichou bees Roy-senpai's fiancée, will she take us with her?"

  "Idiot, why would you say that?!"

  ...

  Roy chuckled, hearing their versation.

  "Excuse me, dies, but I'll be going ahead now," he announced.

  In the moment, he vanished.

  Sona stood alone in a beautiful flarden.

  "Sona!"

  Sona turned around and blushed as she saw Roy. "You're here."

  "Haha, you know they 't stop me, right? Not even your sister," Roy said with a chuckle.

  "So, if I defeat you now, you'll bey fiancée, right?" He stepped closer to Sona.

  "Yes, that's right. Or rather, you've already won," Sona replied with a smile.

  She wasn't wearing her gsses today.

  She looked even more beautiful without them.

  "Then, Sona, you're my bride from today onwards!" Roy decred, pulling her into an embrace.

  "Yes," Sona mumbled, her face flushed as she leaned against him.

  "Sona Sitri and Roy Lucifuge's Rating Game has cluded. The winner is Roy's team," the announcer decred.

  The match was over.

  Although there hadn't been a fierce battle, the audience was still satisfied. They had withe power of Serafall and the new Maou.

  With this match cluded, the Rating Game tour for the young geion was also nearing its end.

  ...

  Roy held a grand e ceremony with Sona in the Maou territory.

  The Young Devils who had just participated iour and the audience all attended, making it a lively event.

  The ceremony proceeded smoothly, and Roy and Sona exged rings uhe watchful eyes of Sona's parents, Grayfia, and the Maous.

  Just then, a girl in a wedding dress rushed towards them.

  "Sona-, Roy-kun, I'm here!"

  It was Serafall. She leaped into Roy's arms.

  Roy was dumbfounded.

  This wasn't even the official wedding ceremo. Why was Serafall wearing a wedding dress?

  "Roy, to prevent you from stealing Sona- away, I'll bee your bride too!" she decred.

  "What?!" The Devils in the hall were shocked.

  Her fans were devastated.

  But seeing that Sona and her parents weren't surprised, Roy uood.

  This must be the surprise Sona had mentioned.

  And it was quite a surprise indeed.

  Roy exged rings with Serafall as well.

  Thus, Roy's e with Sona and Serafall was officially announced.
