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 wanted to be someone else's servant. So, I'm practically a free agent. Besides, Mother doesn't participate in Rating Games anyway," Ravel explained, glancing at Roy meaningfully.

Was she hinting at something?

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

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

Although she had considered it, she was flustered by his directness.

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

"Haha, just kidding," Roy chuckled.

Ravel's heart sank slightly.

"I understand, Roy-sama. Would you like to have tea with me next time?" she asked.

"Oh?"

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

"Sure," Roy agreed with a smile.

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

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

"Are you jealous, Mine?" Roy teased.

"No way!" Mine turned away with a huff.

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

"Hahaha!" Mine burst into laughter, rolling around playfully.

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 check on Koneko-chan," Roy said, getting up and following Koneko.

Rias also followed him.

"Roy, what's wrong?"

Roy pulled her into an elevator and closed the door.

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

"Then let's go find her together."

"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 searching for someone.

Then, she stopped and looked towards a certain direction.

Roy and Rias followed her gaze.

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

A girl with black 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 offering 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 business to attend to. I heard the Devils are having a grand gathering here. I was curious, nya," Kuroka replied with a playful 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 continue ignoring 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 Khaos Brigade.

"Those of us who know Senjutsu can easily sense the 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 recognized 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 considered him the strongest among the young generation.

But recently, he had been defeated 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 Khaos Brigade had a rule: Avoid Roy Lucifuge at all costs.

They hadn't expected to encounter 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 declared, 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 clan. 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 go through me," Roy interjected with a smile.

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

...

...

In the original 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-class.

Koneko, hearing Roy's words, was touched.

But she refused his help.

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

A powerful aura erupted from her.

Koneko had formed a contract with a high-ranking Earth Elemental, a cat spirit, in the world of Bladedance of Elementalers. Her strength had reached the peak of High-class.

But even so, she couldn't defeat Kuroka.

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

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

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

But Koneko was unfazed.

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

Kuroka knew that 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 gauntlets.

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 clones is child's play 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 blasts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The blasts struck Koneko, who was caught off guard.

But thanks to her Earth spirit's protection, 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 playing with a mouse.

Roy, however, saw through her plan.

A thin mist had silently enveloped the area.

It was spreading, slowly approaching them.

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

"Well then, I'll be taking Koneko now," she declared, 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 confident that even Roy couldn't do anything against this poison.

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

In an instant, the poison was purged from her body.

Such a weak poison had no effect on him.

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

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

"Kuroka, you said you wanted to make amends with Koneko. Then stay here," Roy declared.

Kuroka and Bikou immediately leaped into the air.

An ice mountain erupted from the spot where they had been standing.

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

"It seems I can'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 exclaimed, relieved.

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

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

Ice pillars formed from the moisture in the air, encasing Kuroka and Bikou.

"Damn it!"

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

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

"..."

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

"Complaining won't help now," Kuroka retorted with a glare.

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

"Yes!" Koneko nodded. She also wanted to know the truth.

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

"Go back and tell Vali that I've taken Kuroka. If he wants her back, he can 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. "Come with me. Don't try to escape. I've placed 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, approaching 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 gained too much power," Kuroka replied.

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