"Cough!!!"

Xenovia's bombshell nearly made me choke, my expression twitching.

Seeing Grayfia blush and fall silent, I quickly stepped in to smooth things over, finally calming the dispute.

———

Before long, everyone boarded the Dimensional Train back to the Human World, resuming their peaceful, leisurely daily lives.

It's worth mentioning that a few days after returning to the Human World, someone I had often thought about suddenly appeared before me.

"Lord Kyoya! Long time no see!"

The moment she saw me, she immediately hugged me, her words filled with longing.

Thump.

I was completely caught off guard by Gabriel's flying tackle—and the subsequent impact left me dazed.

For a moment, I felt like I was suffocating. After all, Gabriel possessed quite the Heavenly pair. This face-washing was too stimulating.

Even so, I was reluctant to push Gabriel away. Opportunities like this didn't come often.

It wasn't until I could barely breathe that I finally managed to speak.

"Gabriel, thank you for the warm welcome. But could you perhaps let go now? I'm having a little trouble breathing!"

Hearing my words, Gabriel finally noticed the situation. Her innocent, pretty face turned bright red, and she quickly released me.

Once my complexion returned to normal, I nodded slightly and said with a smile. "Gabriel, I thought you had forgotten me—I even specifically asked Michael to pass along a message last time."

Gabriel clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, her tone urgent but sincere. "Lord Kyoya, because Heaven's system has restarted, there are many matters requiring my attention. That's why I couldn't come down to the Human World to see you sooner!"

Gabriel looked at me guiltily, preparing to bow respectfully in apology.

Facing Gabriel's unexpected apology, I quickly stopped her and said with a sheepish grin.

"Uh~ Gabriel, you don't need to be formal. I was just kidding earlier. Why would I blame you? And you don't need to address me seriously either!"

"Okay!" Hearing my words, Gabriel paused, then nodded with a gentle look in her eyes.

Gently holding Gabriel's small hand, I smiled and asked.

"Gabriel, do you have any other tasks this time?"

Gabriel blinked her innocent eyes, looked at me, and said softly.

"My mission this time is to become the Health advisor at Kyoya's home. Therefore, please take care of me from now on!"

"EHH!!!" Hearing Gabriel say this, I froze.

'Health advisor?!'

It seemed the task associated with Gabriel really was to bring her home as a health advisor.

For this, I even joked with Holy-chan back then, asking if she could bestow Gabriel upon me.

But I was met with Holy-chan's complaints and eye-rolls, and ultimately, nothing came of it.

'Hehe... It seems I was granted Gabriel after all. Holy-chan is quite the tsundere!'

"In that case, Gabriel, please take care of me from now on!" I wrapped my arm around Gabriel and said with a grin.

"Mmm..." Facing my intimate action, Gabriel's face flushed slightly.

Looking at the shy yet undeniably pure Gabriel, I felt my mouth go dry.

Honestly, Gabriel, as the number one beauty in Heaven, was deeply coveted by numerous male Gods and Devils.

Today, I finally understood this wasn't an exaggeration.

However, I still suppressed the urge to forcefully kiss Gabriel, pushing down my desires.

After all, if an Angel harbored desire or evil thoughts, their white wings would flicker black and white. If they couldn't control themselves, they would become a Fallen Angel.

Clearly, Falling wasn't suitable for Gabriel; she was the purest of Angels. It was best to preserve her golden wings.

And I currently lacked the ability to prevent Angels from Falling.

So, I planned to find a suitable time to take Gabriel to that "special room" so we could further connect and deepen our relationship.

In the original story, to prevent the phenomenon of Falling and promote Angel reproduction, Michael had specially invented "A room where Angels and Humans can freely engage in physical intimacy without the risk of Falling."

And during my time travel, I specifically asked Holy-chan to research this "room" for me.

Well... Although I was met with her deep disdain, for the sake of exploring the philosophical meaning of life, I was fearless.

The system's voice interrupted my future fantasies.

Smiling, I released Gabriel and whispered, "Let's go home. I'll introduce you to everyone else there."

"Okay!" Hearing this, Gabriel's eyes curved into crescent moons, her smile both adorable and innocent.

———

Not long after, I returned home with Gabriel.

"Lady Gabriel!!!"

Initially, upon seeing Gabriel, the girls were somewhat shocked, but they quickly regained their composure.

Their man had coveted Gabriel for a long time; they were already used to it.

That evening, to celebrate Gabriel's arrival, we held a welcome banquet—a rare occurrence.

For a time, the house was filled with laughter and cheer. However, amidst the festivities, Kuroka secretly began preparing to execute her plan.

Because of the banquet, everyone slept late, which provided Kuroka with an opportunity.

Waiting until all the girls were fast asleep, a smug smile spread across Kuroka's face, and then she quietly crept towards my room.

At this moment, I was alone in my room.

It wasn't that I didn't want to explore the meaning of life—It's just that my strength and physique were too overwhelming; the girls could barely keep up.

In the end, after some discussion, they had decided to limit our "activities"—After all, they didn't possess my monstrous constitution.

Besides, most of the time, several of them had to team up; otherwise, no one could withstand such intense battles alone.

So, tonight, I was destined to be alone.

However, I wasn't actually asleep. Because I was full of energy and didn't feel tired, I seemed to be lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

[Ding! Black Grade gift bag opened successfully. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining [Avalon] x1!]

'Eh... Isn't this the scabbard of [Excalibur]?' My heart skipped a beat, a hint of surprise flashing in my eyes.

In the World of Type-Moon, Avalon was also known as the "Everdistant Utopia."

The scabbard's ability was immortality—possessing the power to heal the holder's injuries and halt aging. It ignored all magic and physical attacks, even reflecting attacks back—an "absolute defense."

Even Ea, the Sword of Rupture, an Anti-World Noble Phantasm of EX rank—its full-power attack wouldn't have any effect within Avalon's protective range. It was the ultimate defensive treasure.

This scabbard is truly a formidable defensive weapon. And it paired perfectly with my [Excalibur]. I was extremely pleased.
