The original story had Rias and her peerage handling this Stray Devil.
"What a coincidence, Rias-senpai," Roy greeted her with a smile.
"Roy-kun, what are you all doing...?" Rias asked, glancing at Roy and then at the house behind him, from which the scent of a Stray Devil still emanated.
"As you can see, Rias-senpai, we've already taken care of the Stray Devil inside," Roy explained, anticipating her question.
"Ara ara, looks like our job was stolen," Akeno commented, her eyes fixed on Roy with amusement. She knew he was only a Low-Class devil, and tonight's target was a particularly strong one, even for its rank.
Even at the same level, Roy would have had a difficult time defeating it. Yet, he appeared completely unharmed.
And what was with all the girls behind him? Akeno wondered.
Roy felt a twinge of awkwardness at Akeno's words. Dealing with Stray Devils in the Kuoh Town area *was* Rias responsibility.
"Um, I apologize, Rias. I should have asked for your permission before..."
"It's no problem at all," Rias said with a gentle smile. "Rather, wouldn't you mind introducing the young ladies behind you?" She wasn't concerned about the stolen assignment; she was curious about the girls accompanying Roy.
She recognized Saeko, who had recently enrolled in her class.
"Ah, them..."
"They're my new servants. I brought them along to get some experience with Stray Devils," Roy explained without hesitation.
Rias was surprised. She could tell they were normal, with no signs of Sacred Gears. Why would Roy take them as his servants?
Her puzzlement was evident, and Roy noticed.
"Heh, they may be normal now, but I assure you, their potential surpasses even those with Sacred Gears," Roy said confidently.
With his cheat abilities, increasing their power wouldn't be difficult. He could simply take them to other worlds and equip them with powerful weapons, armor, or abilities. Their potential would far exceed that of Sacred Gear users in this world.
"Oh? Is that so?" Rias didn't argue, instead expressing curiosity about the source of his confidence.
"Since the Stray Devil has been dealt with, we'll be heading back now. Goodbye, Roy-kun." Having completed her assignment (or rather, having had it completed for her), Rias prepared to leave.
"Roy-kun, do come visit the Occult Research Club sometime," Akeno said with a playful smile.
"Goodbye, Roy-senpai," Koneko said with a wave, her expression as impassive as ever.
"Goodbye. I'll visit the Occult Research Club when I have the time. And goodbye, Koneko-chan," Roy replied with a smile and a wave.
Rias activated a teleportation circle, and they vanished.
"Roy-chan, who were those people?" Shizuka asked, curious.
"They were senpai from Kuoh Academy's third-year class: Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima, and Koneko Toujou," Saya answered.
The trio were popular at the academy. Even without actively seeking information, Saya had overheard countless conversations about them.
"Saya is right. However, those are their identities in the human world..."
"Rias true identity is the next head of the Gremory clan, one of the 72 Pillars of Devils, and holds the title of Heiress. She's known as the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess and is already a High-Class devil. Her older brother is the current Lucifer, one of the Four Great Satans!"
"Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou are Rias servants. Akeno is also a High-Class devil, while Koneko is a Mid-Class devil."
Roy explained Rias and her peerage's background in detail. He had already told them about the supernatural world and the power of the devils, so they understood the significance of the title "Satan."
Saya, Shizuka, Yuriko, and Alice were impressed.
"They sound amazing!"
"And a Maou? That's incredible!"
"We seem so weak in comparison..." Shizuka's unintentional comment dampened the mood.
Someone like Koneko was already a Mid-Class devil at such a young age. And Akeno, around the same age as them, was a High-Class devil.
"Heh, there's no need to compare yourselves to them. You've only just become devils," Roy said, offering words of encouragement. "In my opinion, your potential is no less than theirs, perhaps even greater. Because you have me."
"That's right, everyone. Don't be discouraged!" Yuriko, a former career woman, understood these things well.
"Mom, you seem to be the weakest one here," Saya teased.
"Um..." Yuriko was speechless.
It was true. Because of the way her body was created, her magical power hadn't even reached the level of a Low-Class devil yet.
Though she had learned some basic spells, their power was limited. Even Alice could wield magic more effectively than her.
However, because of her reconstructed body, her magical aptitude had increased significantly. She was confident she would catch up eventually.
She knew this herself, so she didn't argue.
"Alright, let's head back," Roy interrupted their banter, activating a teleportation circle. In the next moment, they were home.
