After parting ways with Grayfia, I wasted no time finding Akeno and sharing the great news about resurrecting her mother.
Rias and the others offered their congratulations upon hearing the news, but Akeno was so overcome with emotion that tears welled up in her eyes.
———
That evening, Akeno, dressed in a long black gown that elegantly revealed her smooth, slender legs, approached me, saying she wanted to offer a reward.
Looking at Akeno's blushing face and alluring charm—
I couldn't resist!
Ignoring the gazes of the others, I grabbed Akeno's arm.
"Come on," I said, pulling her along. "Let's go to my room and have a proper discussion about this 'reward'—"
"Ara~ You naughty boy, saying such things in front of everyone," Akeno teased, though she obediently followed me.
That night, facing Akeno's "challenge," I naturally gave her a thorough "lesson." leaving her utterly spent and submissive.
"Heh… still think you can take me on?"
Looking at the sleeping Akeno, I chuckled triumphantly.
———
Before drifting off, I decided to open the system reward I'd received earlier.
[Ding! Black Grade sign-in gift bag opened successfully. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining [Reincarnation Card] x10!]
'Are these any different from the Devil's Evil Pieces used for Reincarnating Devils?'
[Ding! The Reincarnation Card operates on a similar principle to Evil Pieces, but its effects differ. When a Reincarnation Card is used, even an ordinary individual will experience a significant power increase, amplified by the Host's immense strength. Additionally, the Vassal has a chance to inherit some of the Host's abilities. Furthermore, as the Host's power grows, the Vassal's strength will also increase proportionally!]
Hearing the system's explanation, I pondered.
'I see. It functions somewhat like the Gifts from Mondaiji world, just perhaps on a lower tier. Still, it's definitely a useful item. Maybe I can recruit a few female Vassals later.'
Afterward, holding Akeno close, I slowly closed my eyes and drifted into sleep.
———
The next morning, seeing my refreshed expression and Akeno's rosy complexion beside me, the other girls shot us resentful looks.
All except for Kuroka, who was lounging seductively on the sofa, a cunning glint flickering in her eyes.
Kuroka recalled asking me to help her conceive a powerful dragon baby last time.
Ever since then, Koneko had been constantly wary of her sister.
But lately, Koneko seemed to have relaxed her guard. Coupled with the subtle encouragement from the other girls, Kuroka thought—perhaps it was time to make her move.
Thinking of this, Kuroka felt a warm sense of satisfaction.
———
Not long after, with all matters in the Underworld concluded, everyone prepared to return to the Human World.
However—
"Lady Grayfia? And Lady Tiamat?"
Rias and the others stared, wide-eyed and astonished, at Grayfia, inexplicably dressed in a maid outfit, and Tiamat, standing beside her in human form.
"Hehe, From now on, Grayfia and Tiamat are part of our family too. And Grayfia here is our new head maid. Surprise!"
I grinned, thoroughly pleased with myself.
"Kyoya, you..." Rias started, looking at the mischievous glint in my eyes. Both she and Sona felt their lips twitch, rendered momentarily speechless.
Although they knew my philandering nature, they hadn't imagined I'd be this audacious—abducting Grayfia, the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation herself.
And even Tiamat, one of the Five Great Dragon Kings.
"Tch~ Playboy!" Irina muttered under her breath, shooting me a sideways look.
Even the easily jealous Asia puffed up her cheeks, staring at me intently.
"Master, everyone, the train has arrived. We should board now,"
Grayfia interjected, her voice retaining its usual cool composure—At her prompt, everyone began boarding the Dimensional Train bound for the Human World.
———
Aboard the Dimensional Train, the group chatted happily about their experiences in the Underworld.
Meanwhile, I held Ophis close, whispering secrets in her ear.
The other girls occasionally shot glances our way, tinged with jealousy, but didn't make a big deal of it.
Initially, Rias and the others were a bit reserved around Ophis.
However, once they discovered that the seemingly aloof Dragon God had the personality of an innocent child, they instinctively started doting on her.
Asia, especially, with her high affinity for Dragon-kind, bonded quickly with Ophis, becoming fast friends.
"Hmm... I didn't expect Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God, to be here as well," Tiamat remarked, blinking as she looked curiously at Ophis.
"I await Kyoya's defeat of the Red one," Ophis stated faintly, pressing closer into my embrace. "I also await union with Kyoya—to conceive the strongest offspring."
Hearing this, Tiamat was taken aback.
As expected of Kyoya—Even the Infinite Dragon God was captivated by that powerful Dragon phantom.
Then Tiamat happily rubbed her belly. Based on their conversation, Ophis hadn't united with Kyoya yet.
She was already a step ahead.
———
Before anyone else could react to Ophis's statement, Xenovia jumped in.
"To think even Ophis is a rival too! Kyoya, we'll have to redouble our efforts—when we get back!"
"Hey, hey! Xenovia, cool it!" Irina groaned, facepalming as she saw the determined glint in Xenovia's eyes. She quickly tried to dissuade her.
However, as if a switch had been flipped, everyone else also started to chime in.
"Ara ara~ I wonder if my efforts last night were successful," Akeno Himejima said with a playful smile, her face slightly flushed.
"B-But I'm still... still..." Sona's face turned bright red, but she couldn't finish her sentence.
"Onii-sama! I... I can too!" Asia rushed over, grabbing my hand and speaking almost incoherently.
"...."
Seeing this group of girls acting like love-struck fools, the others were stunned.
Kiba Yuuto, as usual, just smiled gently, quietly watching the scene unfold.
Gasper, meanwhile, had retreated as far as possible, muttering, "So scary, so scary..."
"Everyone, you mustn't be so impulsive about this. You're still students!" At this moment, Grayfia glared at the girls sharply.
Faced with the stern presence of the Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation, the girls immediately quieted down, daring not to argue further.
"Then, does that mean Lady Grayfia can have children with Kyoya? After all, you're his wife too!"
Just as things seemed to have calmed down, Xenovia, completely oblivious, shattered the peace with a single sentence.
"!!!"
At Xenovia's question, everyone turned to stare at Grayfia, their expressions ranging from curious to downright mischievous.
Faced with this sudden scrutiny, even the perpetually composed Grayfia couldn't prevent a faint blush from dusting her cheeks, leaving her momentarily flustered.
