"Everyone, are you ready?" Roy asked the girls with a smile as they gathered in the living room.

"We're ready!"

"Hurry up, I can't wait!"

Tohru and the others were eager!

"Alright, alright." Roy chuckled and snapped his fingers.

They vanished.

For long-lived Dragons, spending a few hundred years in another world was nothing. Roy had promised to bring them back here again someday.

...

[High School DxD World, Roy's Castle]

Roy and the girls materialized in a room within the castle.

The unfamiliar presence, especially the dragon auras, alerted Ophis, who immediately appeared before them.

"Roy? Are they—the same kind as me?" Ophis asked, her eyes wide with curiosity as she looked at Tohru and the others.

She was particularly interested in Lucoa, sensing that she was a Dragon with power comparable to her own.

"Ophis, let's go outside. I'll introduce you later," Roy said, scooping her up with a smile.

He led them to the living room, where Saeko, Esdeath, and the other girls were waiting.

They were also curious about the new arrivals but understood what had happened.

"That sneaky bastard! Going to another world without telling us and bringing back even more girls," Saya grumbled.

"He must have his reasons. Roy works hard," Asia defended Roy.

"Works Hard? He was probably having fun," Mine scoffed.

They weren't upset that Roy had brought back more girls..

What bothered them was that he hadn't taken them along.

Only Saeko remained cheerful. Roy took her with him on almost every trip, a clear sign of his affection.

Although he hadn't taken her this time, she wasn't upset.

"Hey, I think I heard someone badmouthing me. Who was it?" Roy asked with a playful smirk as he entered the room with Tohru and the others.

"Hmph! It was us. Why didn't you take us with you this time?" Saya complained.

"It wouldn't have been a problem to bring us along," Claire added.

Most of the girls were unhappy about being left behind.

Roy shrugged helplessly. "There weren't any battles or opportunities to increase your strength this time, so—"

'The fight against the Gods was quick, so it doesn't really count,' Roy thought.

But that battle had been against his strongest opponent yet.

Fortunately, they had won.

"Even so—" Chelsea began, but Sona interrupted her.

"You'll take us with you next time, right?" Sona asked, her gaze fixed on Roy.

It seemed she was also upset about being left behind.

After all, he had promised to take her to another world to recruit servants.

"Don't worry, Sona. I'll definitely take you with me next time," Roy assured her with a pat on his chest.

"Okay." Sona finally smiled.

"Ahem, let me introduce everyone. This is Tohru—"

Roy introduced the new arrivals.

Tohru had prepared herself to meet the others, and they quickly became friendly.

"Roy!" Ophis suddenly tugged at his clothes, her eyes fixed on him.

"Ophis, what's wrong?" Roy asked, pretending not to know what she wanted.

He knew that Ophis, having sensed that his and Lucoa's power had reached her level, was curious and wanted his help in defeating Great Red.

Defeating Great Red, was Ophis's greatest desire.

But Roy wasn't going to let her go. She was too adorable.

And letting her go would be dangerous.

If he remembered correctly, Great Red would soon face a dangerous enemy.

A powerful being from another world would appear and decapitate him.

To be able to instantly kill Great Red— Roy suspected that this being might be at the Stellar-level or even higher.

....

(I will refer to the VSBW Tiering System to evaluate beings above Maou)

(Stellar-level is basically Tier 4—Tier 3 is Galaxy/Universe—Tier 2 is Multiversal)

(Roy, Lucoa, Great Red, Ophis are Tier 5—Substellar/Planetary)

<><><><>

And this incident wasn't far off.

They had to become stronger.

"Help me," Ophis pleaded.

"Of course I'll help you," Roy replied, patting her head. "Ophis, are you happy here?"

"I... I don't know what happiness is. But it's better here than with the Khaos Brigade," Ophis replied innocently.

Roy couldn't resist kissing her cheek.

"Don't worry, Ophis. I'll definitely help you defeat Great Red. But until then, get along with everyone here, okay?"

Roy believed that if Ophis stayed with them long enough, she would come to love this place.

"Okay." Ophis nodded.

Waiting wouldn't be a problem for her.

....

After the weekend, they returned to school.

Roy also enrolled Tohru, Ilulu, and Kanna in Kuoh Academy.

Tohru was placed in the third year, while Ilulu and Kanna were in the second year.

One day, Rossweisse, their teacher, announced the upcoming school trip to Kyoto.

The girls erupted in excitement.

"Since the destination is Kyoto, let's see what sights we should visit!" Aika exclaimed, quickly finding a guidebook.

The book listed various famous landmarks.

Roy, Saya, Asia, Xenovia, and the others gathered around to discuss their itinerary.

"Where should we go?" Irina asked, flipping through the guidebook.

"How about Kiyomizu-dera?" Asia suggested.

"I remember that shiny temple..." Xenovia chimed in.

"You mean Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion? Of course, we have to go there, right, Buchou?" Aika asked, looking at Roy.

"Sure, you guys decide. I'm not familiar with Kyoto," Roy replied with a smile.

"Then it's decided! First, Kiyomizu-dera—then Kinkaku-ji..."

The girls continued their lively discussion.

....

Back at the castle, Rias grumbled, "I won't be able to see Roy for days."

The school trip was only for the second-year students.

Roy chuckled. "It's just a few days, Rias. I'll bring you back a souvenir."

Hearing this, Rias's mood improved slightly, though she was still a bit disappointed.

"Rias, you can skip school and come with us if you want," Roy offered.

"No, it's okay," Rias replied, shaking her head.

"As long as Roy has fun, that's enough for me."

"Alright then."

...

That night, Rias and Akeno, dressed in yukatas, arrived at Roy's room as usual.

Sona and Tsubaki soon joined them.

"Hmph! Rias, I won't lose to you," Sona declared, clinging to Roy's arm and glaring at Rias playfully.

"Akeno and I won't lose either," Rias retorted, raising her chin.

"Tsubaki, let's join in!" Sona commanded.

Tsubaki blushed. Sona had practically dragged her here.

She looked quite beautiful without her glasses.

...

The day of the school trip arrived.

Roy emerged from his bed, where Rias and Sona had spent the night.

They all went to the train station.

"Here are your 'Freedom Passes'. Take one," Rias said, handing out some cards.

"What are these?" Ilulu asked, turning the card over and examining it curiously.

"They're passes. Kyoto is Youkai territory, so we need these to avoid any misunderstandings," Rias explained.

This was a new policy implemented by Sirzechs to prevent unnecessary conflicts between the various factions.

It had indeed reduced the number of conflicts.

Roy, as the fifth Maou, also supported this policy.

"Everyone, check your belongings. We're about to board the train," Roy reminded them.

Kurome, Akame, and the others checked their bags.

Of course, they had mostly packed snacks.

"Rias, Sona, we're leaving now," Roy said, turning to them with a smile.

"Have a safe trip!"

"Let us know if anything happens."

"We'll miss you."

"Come back soon!"

Rias, Sona, Tohru, and the others bid farewell to Roy and his group.

They boarded the train to Kyoto.

...

As the train departed, the girls chattered excitedly.

Kurome, sitting in Roy's lap, munched on snacks like a hamster, occasionally offering him a cookie.

Claire and Rinslet, sitting by the window, enjoyed the scenery and chatted.

"Ilulu..." Kurome suddenly said, her eyes fixed on Ilulu. "Why are you so big?"

The other girls also looked at Ilulu.

Although they had seen it many times, they were still amazed by the size of Ilulu's flame pouch.

It was even bigger than her head! And she had such a petite figure.

It was quite disproportionate and defied logic.

"Well..." Ilulu puffed out her chest proudly. "I've actually shrunk it! Otherwise, it would be even bigger."

"...."

"What?!" The girls gasped in shock.

This was already the smallest it could get?

How big was it normally?

They imagined it and were stunned.
