Minelauva Iris.
"Minelauva Iris: The Sixth Servant possessed by the Fourth Progenitor. Its form is a Valkyrie wielding a rainbow-colored blade of light. It can sever both physical form and causality. Among the Fourth Progenitor's twelve Servants, it possesses the greatest offensive power."
Sitting in the passenger seat of the plane bound for Saitama Prefecture, Hiro listened to the system prompt and raised his eyebrows slightly.
After Sadalmelik-Albus, the second Servant I obtained is also from the Fourth Progenitor.
If it's just a copy, that's fine.
But if it's a direct theft or forced seizure...
If Akatsuki Kojou has already become the Fourth Progenitor, his expression would be spectacular.
Unfortunately, Hiro wouldn't get to see it.
That said, even if it were a forcible seizure, it couldn't be ruled out that the system simply snatched Minelauva Iris in its "base form."
More importantly-
Now that he had Minelauva Iris, with its ability to sever causality, perhaps he could try to resolve Kaede's problem of bodily dissolution.
With that thought, Hiro slowly closed his eyes and began communicating inwardly with his newly acquired Servant, attempting to fully grasp Minelauva Iris's abilities during the dozen or so hours of flight.
Behind him, Lavinia-wearing a light blue, cool-toned outfit-glanced cautiously at the silver-haired maid resting beside her with eyes closed.
Grayfia Lucifer.
Her superior for the foreseeable future.
"Um... Lady Lucifer," Lavinia asked hesitantly, "although I understand my role is to manage your territory... what exactly should I be doing?"
When she worked under Mephistopheles, her entire job consisted of handling documents.
From government departments.
From private enterprises.
From the human world.
From the Underworld.
And she had done this for years.
Heaven knew how Mephistopheles would've managed that mountain of paperwork-enough to kill several people from overwork-without her.
"Just call me Grayfia," Grayfia replied, opening her gray eyes slightly. She glanced at Hiro's unmoving back and turned a little toward Lavinia. "Lucifer is Hiro-sama's title."
"Basic management is handled by others. You'll only need to sign a small number of important documents that the secretaries submit."
"Even my Queen Elsa-who is extremely impatient-handled it just fine. With your experience, you don't need to worry."
"In fact, you may find yourself bored. There might not be much for you to do."
...Huh?
I have help?
And the secretaries are actually competent?
Listening to Grayfia's calm explanation, Lavinia blinked, feeling momentarily lost.
She recalled her days under Mephistopheles.
Nine-to-nine-to-seven.
No weekends.
No holidays except New Year's Day.
She alone handled everything-from top to bottom, large to small.
There were "secretaries" in name, but in practice, they were just people moving files around.
If she weren't a Longinus wielder-and if Eternal Ice Princess didn't have a beneficial effect on her body-she would've died in that sea of paperwork long ago.
Damn Mephistopheles.
You really live up to your reputation as a Great Devil.
One day, I'll make you experience death by overwork too.
Only when she thought of the massive savings she had accumulated over the years-her dowry-did some comfort finally return to her indignant heart.
By the time the two people and one devil arrived in Saitama Prefecture, it was already late at night.
After entering the house, Grayfia took Lavinia upstairs to discuss something unknown.
Hiro looked around briefly, then headed toward the kitchen, where the sound of running water could still be heard.
Inside, four figures were busy.
Yasuko.
Asia.
Sona.
Rias.
The four girls stood in a neat line, washing tableware in assembly-line fashion.
"Mom," Hiro asked, looking at the blonde figure closest to him, "where's Kaede? Do you know?"
"Kaede?" Yasuko paused, sponge still in her right hand, and thought for a moment.
"She seemed to go next door with Mea and Little Eve. She hasn't come back yet."
Kurokasi Mea and Golden Darkness went to Lala's place?
That feels... off.
Muttering inwardly, Hiro nodded, greeted Rias and the others, and walked next door to the Deviluke residence.
Ding-dong.
"Oh my-Hiro-kun, are you here for Lala?"
The queen, wearing a veil, answered the door and casually removed it.
With a gentle smile in her eyes, she naturally took Hiro's hand and led him inside.
"Lala and the others are bathing right now. If Hiro-kun is interested, you could join them."
"I don't think Lala, Momo, or Nana would mind."
"But Little Eve, Mea, and Little Kaede... might."
I am tempted.
But Sephi, are you so eager to be my mother-in-law that you've gone mad?
Did you just abandon the whole "Lala's fiancé" setting?
Are you fine now with "Momo's fiancé"?
Or "Nana's fiancé"?
"No," Hiro replied calmly. "I'll just wait for a bit. It's nothing important."
He allowed Sephi to guide him into the familiar living room he hadn't visited in a long time.
Hearing this, a flash of regret crossed Sephi's face-one filled with an unusual charm.
"Is that so?"
"Then Hiro-kun, go wait in Lala's room. When they finish, they'll all gather there anyway."
Hiro nodded.
It sounded reasonable.
He didn't suspect a thing.
Lala had long since remodeled her room into a spacious miniature laboratory, complete with a portal leading to an alternate dimension.
It was the perfect gathering spot.
Even the Heavy Glare Class-subjects Lala had vivisected countless times-were stored in that dimensional testing area.
That thought lasted-
Right up until he opened the door.
Hiro's tea-colored eyes fell upon the dimensional gate.
And beside it-
A massive pile of inner and outer clothing.
Different colors.
Different styles.
Different sizes.
Sephi.
You tricked me!
His eyes widened slightly as he spun around-
Just in time to see Sephi's beautiful face, wearing a sly smile, vanish through the narrowing gap of the door.
