There were no side effects.
Even after using Kotoamatsukami, Hiro felt no discomfort-no pain, no heat, no soreness, no abnormal reaction from his eyes at all.
"Don't mention meeting me to anyone today."
After a brief pause, Hiro looked down at the blonde girl below him. Her expression was pious, almost fanatical, as he spoke calmly.
"After returning to the Hero Faction, carefully conceal your thoughts. Don't let anyone notice anything unusual. Understood?"
"Yes!"
"All right. Clean up the battlefield and return."
Glancing at the Saint Sword Dragon in the distance-which had already finished its role-Hiro turned around and flew toward home.
"Yes!"
Behind him, Jeanne answered with the devotion of a fanatic, her tone reverent as if she had just received a divine revelation.
Whether it was Walburga or this Jeanne, Hiro couldn't immediately think of a concrete use for placing them within the Hero Faction.
Still, following the principle of killing them would be a waste, keeping them served no immediate purpose, and ignoring them would be a pity, he chose to subdue them as part of his preparations.
In any case, this move wasn't a loss.
"To witness the worldly body of God within my lifetime..."
Jeanne gazed in the direction Hiro had departed, her voice trembling with excitement.
"How fortunate I am! If the Church knew of this, they'd envy me until they vomited blood-some might even die on the spot!"
As the Saint Sword Dragon disintegrated from top to bottom, inch by inch, the battlefield finally fell silent.
Jeanne's eyes were slightly unfocused.
Yet anyone standing close enough would notice that beneath that daze lay firm determination and unwavering piety-the look of someone who had found the meaning of her life.
"Although I wish to serve that great being forever..."
She clenched her fists lightly.
"I still have a mission. I must return and complete the task He entrusted to me."
Muttering to herself, Jeanne straightened, spread her arms, and slapped her own cheek hard.
Slap!
"Get a grip, Jeanne!"
"For God's sake-no, for Hiro-sama's sake-you must continue lying low within the Hero Faction. Even among people like Cao Cao, you must not reveal anything."
"Everything is for the great God, Hiro-sama!"
After pumping herself up, Jeanne cupped her flushed cheeks with both hands, then turned to begin cleaning up the battlefield.
-
On the way back, Hiro flew leisurely through the air.
Roughly halfway between the Kirigaya residence and Jeanne's location-about two kilometers to the side-stood Kuoh Academy.
And then he saw it.
From the direction of the academy's newly constructed building, a golden number "5" suddenly rose into the air and drifted toward the school gates.
Under the moonlight, even from two kilometers away, Hiro could clearly make out the figure beneath that "5" with the naked eye.
Long black hair tied into twin tails.
Two pink butterfly ribbons brimming with girlish flair.
A pink magical wand in her right hand, similar in style to Sapphire Magical Girl Rias or Ruby.
A full-body pink magical girl outfit.
From the angle, he could even clearly see that the only color not pink was her underwear.
Sky blue.
Even without checking the name floating above her head, Hiro immediately recognized her.
"Serafall?"
Why would the Leviathan suddenly come to the human world when she should be buried in work?
Did she think Grayfia was too idle and come specifically to drag her back to cover shifts?
Muttering to himself, Hiro abruptly accelerated and appeared in front of the magical girl within seconds.
"Serafall. As a Maou, shouldn't you be drowning in work? Why do you have time to run around the human world?"
"Ah! It's brother-in-law-kun!"
Serafall's surprise flashed briefly before being replaced by a radiant smile.
She completely ignored his question.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! Sona-chan should be at your place right now, right?"
"I'm going to see her-oh, you don't mind me sleeping with her, do you?"
Of course, if brother-in-law-kun wants to join, I don't mind either.
Sona might be a bit stubborn, though.
Serafall added that part silently in her heart.
If she couldn't beat other men-Hiro-in the competition for her sister, then joining in was also a solution.
A roundabout way of saving her sister.
If you don't answer, that's fine too.
Anyway, whatever happens to the Devil race has nothing to do with me.
I'm just an ignorant human.
Hiro gave Serafall a long, meaningful look.
He didn't think too deeply about it and answered naturally.
"You're her sister. I have no reason to object to sisters wanting to be close."
Setting aside the fact that he and Sona weren't even in a relationship yet-could he really forbid her family from visiting?
That would be dating, or house arrest?
Something yandere-like.
Forget it.
"Yay!"
Receiving approval from someone equivalent to the head of the household, Serafall was delighted.
Smiling brightly, she made a small victory gesture with her right hand.
Watching her energetic, girlish behavior, Hiro shook his head and said nothing more.
He simply glanced at the golden "5" above her head.
"Five-Tier Luck Extraction initiated."
"Time remaining: 5 minutes and 59 seconds."
"Mission requirement: Place your hand on Serafall's Baliao acupoint (a human acupoint; reviewers, please note the location) for three seconds."
Baliao acupoint...
The corner of Hiro's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
His gaze shifted to the lower back of Serafall's pink dress, and a wave of speechlessness rose in his chest.
The mission requirements are still this troublesome.
System, you truly live up to your reputation.
At this very moment, the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, was still desperately waiting to be discovered.
