"You left this book under your bed. It was easy to find. I thought it was interesting, so I showed it to Roy," Fianna explained with a mischievous grin.

"..." Claire glared at her, then pounced on Fianna, tickling her mercilessly.

"Hahahaha!" Fianna burst into laughter, struggling to escape.

She retaliated, and the two girls tumbled around playfully.

The train soon arrived at their destination.

Rias, Sona, and the others were waiting for them at the station.

"Roy, you're finally back!"

"Welcome back, Onii-chan!"

"Hubby, you're home!"

"Buchou, you're finally here!"

...

The girls greeted them enthusiastically.

"Sorry for making you worry. Let's head back," Roy said with a smile.

They were indeed worried, especially Rias and Sona, who had never been apart from him for so long.

After all, Roy usually returned from his trips to other worlds instantly.

Tohru, Elma, and Lucoa were also worried, having just arrived in this world and then separated from him again.

Back at the castle, Roy distributed the souvenirs and gifts he had brought back, easing their worries.

...

That night, after dealing with Fianna and the others, Roy suddenly felt a strange connection.

Someone had used one of his Evil Pieces.

It had to be either Yasaka or Kunou.

And considering Fianna's earlier words, Roy knew who it was.

He activated a reverse summoning spell and vanished.

...

He reappeared in an old-fashioned room.

"Roy-sama, you've come!" Yasaka's mature voice greeted him.

He turned and saw Yasaka, dressed in a beautiful kimono.

"Have you made up your mind?" Roy asked.

"Yes, Roy-sama, I'm ready to become your servant," Yasaka replied with a respectful nod.

"Do you know what it means to be my servant?" Roy asked, a playful glint in his eyes.

Yasaka blushed.

"Yes," she affirmed.

Roy smirked.

....

Life returned to its peaceful routine.

But Roy suddenly remembered that he had promised to take Nezuko and the others back to their world.

It had been over half a year. It was time for a visit.

He also wanted to check on the situation in the 'Akame ga Kill!' world and see if Najenda had followed his instructions.

After he had returned from that world, its time flow had synchronized with the 'High School DxD' world.

So, half a year should have passed there as well.

Although the Teigu weren't very useful now, they would make nice gifts for his servants.

Roy gathered the girls and told them about his plan.

"Yay! I want to see Onii-chan again!" Nezuko cheered.

She missed her brother.

"We want to see the Butterfly Mansion again too," Shinobu, Kanae, and Kanao chimed in.

"It would be nice to visit the others," Mitsuri added.

Even Makomo wanted to see Sakonji Urokodaki again.

"Then it's decided. We'll visit Shinobu and the others first, then go to Kurome's world," Roy announced with a smile.

"There's nothing interesting in that world. As long as I'm with Onii-chan, I'm happy," Kurome said, clinging to his arm.

She didn't have any lingering attachments to that world.

"We're just going to check if Najenda has prepared the Teigu. We won't stay long," Roy reassured her, patting her head.

There wasn't much to do in the 'Akame ga Kill!' world, so he planned to collect the Teigu and leave.

"Anyone who wants to come can join us."

The girls all expressed their interest.

Even Rias and the others were curious about the world Shinobu and the others came from.

With a flash of light, they vanished.

....

They reappeared in the courtyard of the Butterfly Mansion.

"Is this the Butterfly Mansion, Shinobu-san? It's so beautiful!" Asia exclaimed, looking around.

"Yes, this is where my sister and I grew up," Shinobu replied with a smile.

The Butterfly Mansion was indeed a lovely place.

"I wonder how Onii-chan is doing," Nezuko said, worried about her brother.

"Don't worry, Nezuko. Tanjiro is a smart boy. He'll be fine," Roy reassured her.

Nezuko nodded, feeling a bit better.

"Who are you?" A girl suddenly appeared, startled by the sight of so many people.

"Are you from the Demon Slayer Corps?" Shinobu asked curiously.

"Y-You're... Shinobu Kocho-sama, the Flower Hashira?" the girl stammered in disbelief.

"Yes, but there's no Demon Slayer Corps anymore," Shinobu replied with a nod.

"Please come with me, Kocho-san."

The girl led them inside.

"Please have a seat," she said as they entered the house.

....

However, there weren't enough cushions for everyone to sit on.

The room was packed.

The girl blushed, realizing the lack of seating.

"It's alright. By the way, where's Tanjiro?" Roy asked.

"Oh, he's out treating patients," the girl replied with a smile.

"Treating patients? It seems he's putting his medical skills to good use," Roy said to Shinobu.

Before leaving the Demon Slayer world, Roy had asked Shinobu to teach Tanjiro some medical skills.

"Yes, he is," Shinobu replied, proud of her student.

"When will he be back?" Roy asked.

"He should be back soon," the girl replied.

It was almost noon. Tanjiro should be returning for lunch.

"Makomo, how about we go get Sakonji-san and have a reunion?" Roy suggested.

"Sure!" Makomo agreed with a smile.

Roy, Makomo, and Nezuko went to fetch Sakonji Urokodaki.

"I didn't expect to see you again, Roy-sama," Sakonji said when they arrived at the Butterfly Mansion.

"Haha, Sakonji-san, you're still as lively as ever. We'll visit often," Roy replied with a chuckle.

"That's wonderful!"

"By the way, Sakonji-san, how is the Demon Slayer Corps doing?" Roy asked curiously.

"The Demon Slayer Corps has been disbanded. They were originally servants of the Ubuyashiki family, formed to slay Demons. Now that the Demons are gone, there's no need for them anymore," Sakonji explained.

"I see. And how is Tanjiro doing?"

"Tanjiro? He's doing well. He's become a reliable doctor." Sakonji was clearly proud of his student.

"And that little girl over there was sent by the former leader to assist Tanjiro. It seems they're getting along quite well."

"Oh?"

The "little girl" Sakonji was referring to was the girl who had greeted them earlier. It seemed Tanjiro had found someone special.

Just as they were chatting...

"...Nezuko?" A boy rushed in. It was Tanjiro.

"Onii-chan?!" Nezuko exclaimed.

"Nezuko, you're finally back!" Tanjiro cried, his eyes filled with tears.

Nezuko was his only remaining family, and they hadn't seen each other in months.

Roy didn't interrupt their reunion.

After a while, Tanjiro finally approached Roy.

"Tanjiro, you've been doing well, haven't you?" Roy said with a wink.

"Huh?" Tanjiro was confused.

Roy gestured towards the girl who had been watching Tanjiro with a lovestruck expression.

Tanjiro blushed.

"Um..." he stammered.

"Good luck, Tanjiro," Roy said with an encouraging smile.

He had brought Nezuko and the others here to reunite with their loved ones.

....

At noon, the former Hashira and Kagaya Ubuyashiki also arrived.

After a joyous reunion, Roy and the girls prepared to leave.

Before departing, Roy gave Tanjiro a vial of [Phoenix Tears].

"Tanjiro, keep this safe. As long as someone isn't dead, this can heal them instantly."

"What?!" Tanjiro was shocked. Such a miraculous item... it was practically a potion of resurrection.

"Roy, this is too valuable!" he protested.

"Just take it. It's nothing to me," Roy insisted.

Tanjiro reluctantly accepted the gift.

"Goodbye, Tanjiro!"

"Onii-chan, take care of yourself!"

"Don't let that girl get away!"

They bid farewell to Tanjiro, who was blushing along with the girl beside him as Nezuko and the others teased him.

With Tanjiro's reluctant gaze following them, they left the Demon Slayer world.

...

Back in the world of 'High School DxD', Roy decided to go alone to the 'Akame ga Kill!' world.

To his surprise, Najenda had already created over a hundred Teigu.

However, they were relatively weak, nowhere near as powerful as Esdeath's or Akame's Teigu.

But what truly surprised Roy was their exquisite craftsmanship.

According to Najenda, a young girl had created them.

'That explains their beauty,' Roy thought.

He then gave Najenda the Teigu he no longer needed and took the newly crafted ones before leaving.
