Ravel blushed and lowered her head.
"Ravel, you should follow Rias example and learn from her. Work hard!" her mother instructed.
"Yes, Mother," Ravel replied with a nod.
Rias had achieved second place in the recent Rating Game tournament for young Devils.
And Roy was first, but since he was a Maou now, Rias was essentially the strongest among the Young Devils.
That's why Ravel admired her so much.
"Roy-sama, there's one more thing... I traded for Ravel, so she's my servant now," Ravel's mother explained.
"But I didn't participate in the Rating Game, so Ravel is currently a free Bishop." She winked playfully at Roy.
Roy caught her drift immediately.
He turned to Ravel with a smile. "If you want, Ravel, you can become my Bishop."
Ravel blushed and lowered her head. "I-I want," she mumbled.
"Then I'll leave my daughter in your care," Ravel's mother said to Roy.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her," Roy assured her.
"With the Maou-sama protecting her, I have nothing to worry about."
"Then farewell, and good luck!" Ravel's mother waved goodbye, and the magic circle disappeared.
"Ravel, you're my Bishop now," Roy said to Ravel, who was blushing furiously.
"Yes, please take care of me," she replied.
Although Ravel was a noble lady, she didn't have a haughty personality.
She was a bit tsundere, but she was kind and easy to get along with.
Roy couldn't resist playing with her springy pigtails.
"Eh? Roy-sama?" Ravel was surprised by his actions, her face reddening as he gently tugged on her hair.
"Haha, I was just checking if they were bouncy," Roy explained with a grin, giving them another tug. They were indeed quite bouncy.
"Roy, honestly, you're acting like a child," Rias chided, pulling Ravel aside.
Roy shrugged.
Ravel was popular among the girls and quickly joined their conversation.
Roy, feeling a bit left out, cuddled Ophis, and whispered to Sona, "By the way, Sona, did you manage to get that Valkyrie?"
"Yes, Rossweisse has agreed to become my Rook," Sona replied with a smile.
Roy had initially wanted Rossweisse for himself, but considering that Sona didn't have a Rook yet, he had decided to give her to Sona. After all, what belonged to Sona also belonged to him.
Just like in the original story, Rossweisse had been abandoned by Odin.
Heartbroken, she readily accepted Sona's offer.
Roy suspected that Odin's actions were mainly to gain favor with them.
After all, his lecherous tendencies were no secret in the Underworld.
Previously, the Young Devils envied Riser for his harem of beautiful girls. Now, it was Roy who was the subject of their envy.
After all, he had both Rias and Sona, the most sought-after girls of the Young Generation, and his peerage was filled with talented and beautiful girls.
Roy glanced at Rossweisse, who was playing cards with Saeko and Akeno. He chuckled.
The clueless Valkyrie was terrible at card games, her expressions betraying her every thought. She had been losing continuously.
Back at Roy's castle, the girls released their Familiars and Elemental Spirits, filling the place with energy.
Roy saw his Dratini, which had evolved into Dragonair.
But it was still too weak to be of much use in battle. It was more of a pet.
Sona and her peerage also moved into the castle, making it even livelier.
...
Summer vacation ended, and the second semester began at Kuoh Academy.
After the boring opening ceremony, Roy's peaceful daily life resumed.
He went to school with a group of girls every day.
After Claire and the others were enrolled in Kuoh Academy, Roy's class couldn't accommodate them all.
They had to be placed in a different class.
Roy felt like his servants alone could form an entire class.
After a month of this routine, Roy started to get bored.
He turned his attention to the system.
The world-travel function had refreshed, presenting him with 3 new worlds.
They were [Overlord], [Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai], and [Campione!].
Roy's mind raced.
He wasn't interested in the first two worlds for now. But Campione! was a world that intrigued him.
In this world, humans had created various mythologies, which gave rise to numerous gods.
These gods were supposed to play their roles in their respective mythologies, maintaining the balance of the world.
But some gods, known as "Heretic Gods," defied their roles.
These Heretic Gods brought disaster upon the world, and as a result, powerful mages capable of defeating them emerged.
Those who killed a Heretic God inherited its power and became a Campione, a God Slayer.
Each Campione was powerful enough to rule a nation.
Based on their abilities in the anime, Campiones were at least Ultimate/Maou-class.
And in the later stages of the story, they were even said to possess planet-destroying powers.
However, Roy wasn't going to the world of Campione! He was going to the world of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.
This was one of the first worlds that had appeared in the system, and he had been wanting to recruit those Dragon Maids for a while now.
With his decision made, Roy prepared to depart.
It was a weekend, so he didn't have to go to school.
After sneaking away from the clingy Claire, Nezuko, and the others, Roy went to his room.
He wasn't planning to take anyone with him this time. After all, he wouldn't be staying in that world for long.
A flash of light, and Roy vanished.
...
"...Where am I?" Roy wondered, looking around after being transported by the system.
He was high in the sky, a mountain below him and a brightly lit city in the distance.
"That must be the city where Kobayashi lives," Roy mused, stroking his chin.
He could sense that the magic density in this world was very low.
Ordinary people couldn't cultivate magic here.
But this world wasn't to be underestimated. The "Harmonizers" from another world had already infiltrated this place.
Roy closed his eyes and sensed their presence.
It was a magical world with various races, the world where Tohru and Kanna came from.
Just then, Roy sensed a surge of magic nearby.
A black hole appeared in the sky, and a massive figure fell through it.
BOOM!!!
The figure crashed into the ground, creating a large crater.
It was a Green Western Dragon.
Tohru!
Roy's eyes lit up.
He approached Tohru, who was severely injured, a divine sword protruding from her back.
She had clearly just fought a god and lost.
In that other world, Dragons were the greatest threat to Gods, so it wasn't surprising that a God would try to kill Tohru.
If no one had found her, she might have actually died.
Kobayashi, the "Dragon Maid" from the original story, seemed to be quite capable, having been able to remove the divine sword with ease.
As Roy was pondering this, Tohru spoke.
"I didn't expect to find a Devil here. It seems this is the end for me," she said, closing her eyes in resignation.
"Don't worry, I mean you no harm. I just happened to be passing by," Roy reassured her. "By the way, what's your name?"
"I'm Tohru."
Perhaps sensing his sincerity, Tohru answered weakly.
"Hello, Tohru. I'm Roy Lucifuge," Roy introduced himself with a smile.
"Devil, you should leave this place," Tohru warned.
"You seem to be badly injured. Do you want me to remove that sword from your back?"
"You can't pull out a divine sword, Devil. Just leave this place," Tohru insisted, worried that the god might return.
But Roy knew the god wouldn't come here.
This seemingly ordinary world was protected by powerful forces.
"Don't worry, I'll give it a try."
Roy ignored her warnings and jumped onto her back.
He examined the divine sword, his eyes gleaming with interest. It was a powerful weapon.
He grasped the hilt and channeled his demonic power, effortlessly overcoming the divine power and pulling out the sword.
He then casually tossed it into his Storage magic.
"There, that should do it," Roy said with a grin, jumping off Tohru's back.
Tohru looked at him gratefully. She hadn't expected him to actually remove the divine sword.
Without the sword's interference, her wounds would heal quickly, thanks to her Dragon regeneration abilities.
"Thank you. That's much better," she said, standing up.
"Tohru, can you transform into a human?" Roy asked, looking up at her.
"Of course."
With a flash of light, Tohru transformed from her massive dragon form into a young girl.
She had beautiful blonde hair, two horns on her head, and large, captivating red eyes.
A green tail swayed behind her.
She was a beautiful girl with an exotic charm.
This was Tohru, the Dragon Maid.
"Roy, thank you for saving me," Tohru said, approaching him with gratitude.
"It was nothing," Roy replied with a smile and a wave of his hand.
"By the way, Tohru, you were fighting a god, weren't you?"
"Yes, that despicable coward. I'll kill him one day," Tohru growled, her anger flaring at the mention of the god.
It seemed the god hadn't defeated her honorably.
Roy remembered that in the original story, Kobayashi had asked Tohru how strong she was.
And Tohru had replied that she was "world-ending" level.
But that didn't mean she could destroy a planet.
Roy estimated her strength to be around that of a high-ranking Maou.
"So, Tohru, what are your plans now?" Roy asked.
"Well..." Tohru hesitated.
She hadn't fully recovered yet and couldn't challenge the god for revenge.
And she was tired of her old life in the other world.
As a member of the Chaos faction, she had been fighting constantly for over ten thousand years.
She didn't want to continue that life anymore.
She was lost.
Roy smiled. "Why don't you come with me to the human world, Tohru?"
"The human world?" Tohru looked at him curiously.
"Look... it's over there. The human world is very peaceful," Roy said, pointing towards the city in the distance.
Tohru's eyes lit up as she saw the peaceful city.
She nodded eagerly. "Okay, I'll go to the human world with you."
Roy beamed.
"Then let's go!"
He took Tohru's hand and was about to fly towards the city when he noticed a drunk woman stumbling towards them.
It's Kobayashi!
She had come after all. But Tohru was already his.
'Kobayashi, you can go back to your ordinary life,' Roy thought.
He used his magic to subtly redirect Kobayashi back home and even healed her back pain as compensation.
"Roy?" Tohru looked at him, confused, when he didn't move.
"Oh, it's nothing. Let's go," Roy said, taking her hand and flying towards the city.
