"You don't have to hide it, Kuroka. Although the higher-ups tried to erase and conceal this incident, I've managed to uncover the truth," Roy declared.
Koneko and Kuroka looked at him in surprise.
"Roy-senpai, what's going on?" Koneko asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Roy smiled and patted her head, then began to explain.
It all started with a research facility run by a branch family of the House of Naberius, the 72nd Pillar, where they were conducting secret experints on creating Super Devils.
A human researcher there had chosen a powerful Nekoshou, a type of Youkai cat, for his experint.
He had a child with her, resulting in the birth of Kuroka and Koneko.
Their father saw them as nothing more than test subjects, completely absorbed in his research.
One day, an experint went wrong, and both parents died.
The orphaned sisters relied on each other for survival and were eventually adopted by a High-class Devil.
Recognizing their potential, he used two Bishop Evil Pieces to reincarnate them as his servants.
After becoming Devils, their talent in magic and Senjutsu blossod.
Their master continued his experints, using extre thods to try and awaken their potential.
He even targeted Koneko.
To protect her sister, Kuroka killed their master and fled, becoming a Stray Devil.
She fought off all pursuers and was labeled an SS-Class threat.
After her escape, the Naberius family's secret experints were discovered by the Devil higher-ups, and the incident was covered up.
Rias, hearing this story, hugged Koneko tightly, her heart filled with sympathy.
She also looked at Kuroka with newfound understanding. This was a sister who had sacrificed everything to protect her younger sibling.
"Nee-san!" Koneko broke free from Rias's embrace and looked at Kuroka with tears in her eyes.
"I ran away because I wasn't strong enough to protect you back then. But I'm strong now, and I have reliable comrades," Kuroka said, her gaze fixed on Koneko.
"So... co with , Koneko. I'll protect you."
Although she had her reasons, Kuroka still felt guilty for abandoning Koneko.
"You can barely protect yourself. How can you protect Koneko?" Roy scoffed, shaking his head.
"I believe my comrades will co to save ," Kuroka replied confidently.
"Oh? You an Vali? He was just a stepping stone." Roy said with a smirk.
"Even if Vali can't, we still have our leader, Ophis."
"You an Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon?" Rias asked in surprise.
"Yes." Kuroka nodded proudly.
"Then let her co," Roy said nonchalantly.
He had been hoping Ophis would show up.
That's why he had released Bikou and told him to deliver a ssage to Vali, hoping to lure Ophis out.
Even if Ophis didn't co personally, with Kuroka there, finding her wouldn't be a problem.
"Let's head back now," Roy said to Rias.
"Is it okay to just leave her like this?" Rias asked, gesturing towards Kuroka.
"It's fine. She can't escape," Roy replied dismissively.
His nonchalant attitude made Kuroka even more wary of acting rashly.
They returned to the hall.
"Roy-sama, the Maous are waiting for you in the conference room," a servant inford them as soon as they entered.
"Another eting? I should have left earlier," Roy grumbled.
"Roy, this is an invitation from the Maous. You have to be more serious," Rias chided playfully.
"Fine, fine," Roy sighed.
They went to the conference room.
...
The leaders of the three factions were already present.
"Roy, you're finally here!" Azazel greeted him with a friendly slap on the back.
He was still grateful for Roy's help during the Three Factions' Peace Conference.
"Who's this?" Azazel noticed Kuroka and looked at her curiously.
"Oh, this is a prisoner I captured," Roy explained casually.
"That's Kuroka, an SS-Class Stray Devil wanted by the Underworld, isn't it?" Michael interjected.
"Yes," Roy confird.
"So you were attacked by mbers of the Khaos Brigade?" Sirzechs asked.
An attack by the Khaos Brigade during a gathering hosted by the Maous was a serious provocation.
"You could say that," Roy replied with a shrug.
"She doesn't seem like a prisoner. She's quite relaxed," Azazel comnted, observing Kuroka, who wasn't restrained in any way.
"Don't worry, she won't try anything funny with around," Roy assured him.
Just then, the door opened.
A Fallen Angel cadre, Baraqiel, entered with an old man and a young girl.
The old man had a single eye and a long white beard that reached the floor. He wore simple robes and carried a staff.
The girl had white hair, wore a suit, and had two noticeable ahoge.
The old man was actually Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology!
And the girl was Rossweisse, a Valkyrie.
"Well, well, look who it is. The old geezer from the north," Azazel greeted Odin with a sneer.
"Long ti no see, you Fallen Angel brat. It's interesting to see you all getting along so well. What are you scheming?" Odin retorted.
"We're not like you old fogies, stuck in your outdated traditions and rivalries. We value self-improvent and progress," Azazel declared.
"Such a loser ntality. You're just a bunch of kids without a God."
"Can't you say anything original, old man?"
"This looks like a children's playground. It's quite amusing."
Sirzechs sighed, watching their bickering.
"It's been a while, Odin-sama," he greeted the Norse god.
"Sirzechs, I've co to observe the Rating Ga, as you requested. But you have my sympathy. The heir to the original Lucifer's bloodline is the White Dragon Emperor, and he's a terrorist. The future of the Devils doesn't look very bright," Odin said with a sly smile.
Sirzechs didn't mind his taunts.
As the chief god of the Norse pantheon, Odin was incredibly powerful.
...
...
Odin then turned his attention to Serafall.
"Serafall, what's with that outfit?" he asked, looking at her Madoka Magica costu.
"Odin-sama, don't you know? I'm a magical girl!" Serafall declared, striking a pose with a peace sign.
"Hmm, so that's the latest fashion among young people. It looks quite good. Very good!" Odin comnted, nodding in approval.
"By the way, Odin-sama, who's this?" Serafall asked, curious about the girl behind him.
Odin sighed. "She's my current subordinate. She's quite beautiful, but her personality is too rigid. That's why she can't even find a boyfriend."
His words made Rossweisse, the proud Valkyrie, burst into tears.
"Waaah!"
"Honestly, you're so serious all the ti. That's why you can't attract any n," Odin scolded.
"I-I'm a Valkyrie whose love life is as empty as my age! I want a boyfriend too! Waaah!" Rossweisse sobbed.
Roy watched with amusent. So this Valkyrie with the two ahoge was his next Rook, huh?
"Sirzechs, Serafall, I heard the participants in this match are your relatives. Honestly, you two, forcing your beloved little sisters, who are also best friends, to fight each other... how cruel. As expected of Devils," Odin remarked.
"If they can't even overco such a trivial obstacle, there's no hope for the future of Devils."
...
Odin found a seat, then noticed Roy.
"Who's this young man?" he asked curiously.
Since only the leaders of the factions were seated at the table, Odin was naturally intrigued by Roy's presence.
"This is my brother-in-law, Roy Lucifuge, the next head of the Lucifuge clan," Sirzechs introduced him.
"Greetings, King Odin of the North," Roy said, standing up and offering a polite greeting.
He was representing the Devils, so so courtesy was necessary.
But there was no need to be overly respectful. After all, Odin was a notorious lecher.
"I see. A young hero of the Underworld," Odin comnted, stroking his beard.
Roy didn't mind his casual attitude and sat back down, petting Koneko, who was on his lap.
"Now then, I didn't co here to chat. Let's get down to business," Odin declared.
Sirzechs stood up and addressed everyone. "Although the Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels have ford an alliance, there are still those who seek war."
"Therefore, we will establish a peace treaty with King Odin of the Norse mythology."
"Odin-sama, if you have no objections, please sign the treaty with your fire emblem."
Sirzechs gestured towards the treaty.
"Very well." Odin nodded and prepared to sign.
But just then...
"I object."
A voice echoed through the hall.
A magic circle appeared, and a young man with white hair and a rebellious expression erged.
"I am Loki, a god of the North."
"What a rare guest," Azazel chuckled.
...
Except for the unaware Devils below, Sirzechs and the others weren't surprised.
They had anticipated Loki's interference.
"I can't tolerate our chief god signing a treaty with other pantheons," Loki declared arrogantly.
"Loki, return to Valhalla now, and I'll forgive your insolence," Odin commanded.
"Forgive ? Don't be ridiculous. If we make peace with other pantheons, how can we achieve Ragnarok, the destined twilight of the gods?"
"Co forth, my beloved pet!"
Loki summoned a giant wolf through a magic circle.
It was Fenrir, the monstrous wolf of Norse mythology.
Fenrir imdiately targeted Esdeath and the other girls.
"He sees us as prey?" Esdeath's eyes glead with a predatory light.
She drew her rapier, which was ford from the Water Elental Lord, and slashed at Fenrir.
Fenrir roared and lunged at her.
But in a flash, Esdeath appeared behind Fenrir.
Fenrir yelped and collapsed, a massive wound appearing on its neck.
The wound was instantly frozen, preventing any blood from spilling.
Fenrir, was no match for Esdeath.
The Devils in the hall were shocked.
They couldn't believe such a powerful wolf had been defeated so easily.
Loki, seeing his Familiar killed, was enraged.
He raised his hand, summoning a magic circle and gathering his power.
"Secret Art: 9 Ice Dragons!" Esdeath countered, extending her hand.
Nine ice dragons materialized and converged on Loki.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Loki was encased in ice.
After a year of training, Esdeath had mastered this technique.
"Amazing!" Rias exclaid, envious of her power.
Even Sairaorg was shocked by Esdeath's strength.
He hadn't expected Roy's Queen to be so powerful.
But he wasn't discouraged. Instead, his blood boiled with excitent for their upcoming Rating Ga.
"Odin, I'll leave Loki to you," Roy said casually, taking a sip of his tea.
"Oh? Is this...?"
"Yes, she's my Queen," Roy confird.
Odin finally understood why Roy was sitting at the sa table as them.
After that minor interruption, Odin signed the treaty.
"Now then, I'm also here to watch the Rating Ga. When will it be held?" Odin asked, not leaving imdiately.
"It's scheduled for twenty days from now..." Sirzechs explained the details of the upcoming match.
