[Sun Authority: World Dragon]. One of its abilities allows the summoning of the World Dragon Kurimora, a Tier 2 existence that wanders outside the Little Garden world.
It is the only ability capable of calling Kurimora back from beyond Little Garden.
Although Hiro wasn't certain whether the world he was currently in could be perceived by Kurimora, or whether it could even connect to the Little Garden worldview, in a situation like this, having hope was still worth trying.
Moreover, when he thought of the still brightly glowing "8" above Grayfia's head beside him, he couldn't help but feel a measure of anticipation.
A Tier 2 reward.
Or at least a Tier 3.
Even if it wasn't that extravagant, any reward capable of completely eliminating the Devourer threat would be perfect right now.
An ability.
A Gift.
A Spiritual Tier.
Even a one-time-use item card.
Anything would do.
On the sofa opposite him, Queen Sephi still wore a worried expression as she explained the current situation across the galaxy-and even the universe.
"In fact, aside from the Devourers approaching from the direction of Planet Deviluke, we've also detected their traces in several other regions."
"Before my three daughters and I came to Earth, refugees occasionally appeared across the galaxy-races that had already lost their home planets."
"The Devourers are the common enemy of all races throughout the universe."
Hearing her explanation, Hiro frowned.
But not because of the devastation she described.
It was because his [Sun Authority: World Dragon] had already connected to a vast, overwhelming existence.
And he had received a clear response.
-I'm on my way.
The Tier 2 World Dragon loli, Kurimora, had answered.
She hadn't rejected him.
But those words alone made Hiro's heart sink halfway.
I know your location, and I'm coming.
Which meant she still needed time to travel.
An unknown amount of time.
Was she unable to teleport directly?
Or simply unwilling to move instantaneously across universes?
And for an immortal species of unknown age-one that slept for unknown spans of time-who knew what "on my way" actually meant?
Years?
Decades?
Centuries?
What would be the point if Kurimora arrived after the Devourer army had already conquered the galaxy?
Revenge?
"How long will it take for you to arrive?"
Realizing this, Hiro immediately asked Kurimora, who was somewhere in an unknown universe.
"..."
This time, there was no reply.
Damn it.
Did this girl fall asleep again?
She said she was on her way.
Is she traveling while sleeping?
Sensing only silence, Hiro frowned slightly, feeling helpless as he temporarily crossed Kurimora off the list of reliable factors.
After all, no one knew when a possibly sleeping World Dragon loli would wake up and arrive.
If he had to wait years, decades, or even a century, the situation wouldn't just be bad.
It would be completely ruined.
"Right now, the defeated forces on the front lines are retreating toward the Solar System and are expected to arrive in five days."
Queen Sephi looked at Hiro, worry plain on her face.
"If we can't find a way to counter the Devourers before they invade the Solar System, we'll have no choice but to flee to unoccupied star systems-just like those refugees."
"We're already powerless against the Devourers. They're constantly evolving and far stronger than when we first encountered them."
"If not for the controllable Large-Scale Emitter, Heavy-Class Radiation-Type weapon, and your explanation that you 'had a method,' perhaps not a single soldier would have survived the front lines."
"In that sense, all the remaining combat power exists thanks to you."
She paused briefly, then continued.
"Going forward, the Deviluke family has placed all of its hopes-of defeating the Devourers in the galaxy, and even across the universe-on you, my lovely son-in-law."
"Wandering around... isn't that basically being a homeless dog?"
Nana, sitting between Lala and Momo, puffed out her cheeks slightly and muttered.
Lala silently looked at him, blinking.
A look only the two of them-and Sephi-understood.
I get it. You're counting on me.
But why make it sound so dramatic?
How am I supposed to respond to this?
Feeling the subtle, curious, and confused gazes from Rias, Akeno, and the other girls nearby, Hiro frowned internally.
After a moment of thought, he ignored the strange looks and met Sephi's gaze directly.
Under the watchful eyes of Lala and her mother-and-daughters, he nodded.
"I understand."
"I'll take immediate action regarding the Devourers."
Which means I need to quickly harvest the Luck in this world, then move on to another one.
Glancing at the system energy bar in the corner of his panel-already at about eighty percent-Hiro hesitated slightly.
Thanks to Mithra's "8" earlier, the system energy had surplus.
He could start a new world without fully harvesting the Luck here.
Using the system's "fixed relative time flow rate of twenty-four hours," he could spend as much time as possible elsewhere.
After all, he no longer had to worry about lifespan exhaustion.
He had time to burn.
But on the other hand, the Devourers were an extremely high-level unknown threat.
He couldn't rule out the possibility of them reaching the Solar System and causing catastrophe during even a single day of absence.
Just as he was still hesitating about when to depart-
About ten meters in front of him, on the previously spotless stone floor-
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
Four muffled impacts echoed.
Four women with golden, red, and black hair-three different colors-suddenly appeared from the void, piled awkwardly on top of one another.
"Ugh... Master... have we arrived?"
The red-haired girl at the very bottom groaned weakly.
Heh-ho.
The black-skinned, black-haired kimono-clad "girl" jumped down from the top of the pile.
She scanned the surroundings.
When she noticed the four Deviluke mother-and-daughters, her face immediately lit up.
When her gaze landed on Hiro-the only man present-that smile grew even brighter.
"Mea, Tear."
"We've arrived."
"The place of hope the Deviluke King spoke of."
