In DxD Starting with Sign-Ing in as the Red Dragon

While Akira remained silent, the atmosphere on Rias's side was anything but quiet.

Rias, unable to hold back her tears after seeing her beloved Koneko become someone else's familiar, rushed over and pulled the white-haired girl into a tight embrace.

"Koneko! If Akira is too harsh on you, make sure to come back and tell me!" Rias said, her voice trembling like a mother sending her daughter off to marriage.

"Understood, President," Koneko replied softly, nodding. Though she had no intention of doing so, she was touched by Rias's concern.

"Alright, Rias, that's enough," Akira interjected, gently pulling Rias away from Koneko.

"Rias, don't you realize that your overprotectiveness is what's holding your familiars back? They haven't shown any significant progress under your care."

"Huh? I don't understand. What's wrong with caring for my familiars? You know the Gremory family values emotions! Caring for our familiars is a family tradition!" Rias retorted, her voice rising in defense.

"Is that so? Then tell me, does your brother, Sirzechs, spoil his familiars the same way?"

"Well..." Rias faltered, unable to counter Akira's argument when he brought up Sirzechs.

"Rias, true care for your familiars means helping them grow stronger, both in power and in spirit. That's what it means to truly cherish them," Akira said, shaking his head in exasperation.

If he had Rias's resources and team, he would have already crushed the Phenex family. How could Rias remain so passive?

Whoosh!

The glow of a teleportation circle illuminated the room as a tall, silver-haired figure emerged.

"Lady Rias, Lord Akira is correct. While it is a king's duty to care for their familiars, you may be overly indulgent with yours," the woman said, her voice calm and authoritative.

"Grayfia?!" Rias's eyes widened in surprise. Even Grayfia agreed with Akira?

"Grayfia..." Akira murmured, his gaze shifting to the legendary Queen of the Underworld.

Grayfia Lucifuge, the wife of Sirzechs Lucifer and the current Queen of the Underworld. During the Great War, she fought alongside Sirzechs, forming a deep bond with him. After the war, she betrayed the former Lucifer faction and pledged her loyalty to Sirzechs, becoming his queen.

Though she was a strong candidate for the position of Maou, Grayfia chose to serve as Sirzechs's queen rather than rule herself. Her decision allowed Serafall Leviathan to take the position of Maou instead.

Akira couldn't help but admire her presence.

If Serafall was the embodiment of cuteness and sensuality, Grayfia was the epitome of grace and authority. Her silver hair, tied into two long braids that rested on her chest, and her conservative yet elegant maid outfit only accentuated her mature charm. The black stockings hidden beneath her long skirt and her poised demeanor hinted at a fiery passion beneath her composed exterior.

Grayfia was a woman who balanced her regal composure with an inner warmth, a trait she rarely displayed openly.

Akira decided to use his appraisal skill on Grayfia. While he was confident in defeating most opponents below the Maou level, Grayfia was an exception. She was a top-tier fighter, and gathering information on her was essential.

[Name: Grayfia Lucifuge (♀)]

[Level: LV??? (Level exceeds host by 100, unable to view.)]

[Attribute Evaluation: (Level exceeds host by 100, unable to view.)]

[Overall Evaluation: A+ Tier Main God.]

[Final Assessment: Grayfia has refined her demonic bloodline and annihilation magic to their limits, transcending her demonic origins to become a Transcendent-level being. She is capable of rivaling even the top ten strongest gods in the world. In addition to her annihilation magic, she has awakened powerful dimensional abilities, allowing her to teleport without the use of spells or restrictions.]

(Note: Grayfia will be recruited. Sirzechs has already evolved due to Akira's influence and is no longer considered a living being.)

"A Main God-level being! Just like Serafall, Grayfia has surpassed the limits of a demon!" Akira thought, his mind racing.

"Wait, if Grayfia's strength exceeds the original storyline, does that mean Sirzechs has also grown stronger?"

The thought of the red-haired Maou sent a shiver down Akira's spine. Sirzechs had always been an enigma, and his true power was something even Akira couldn't fully grasp.

With Grayfia's intervention, Rias quickly backed down.

"Alright, I understand, Grayfia. I'll do my best to help my familiars grow," Rias said, pouting slightly.

"Good. I hope Lady Rias remembers her words. Actions speak louder than words," Grayfia replied sternly before turning her attention to Akira.

The silver-haired queen bowed slightly, her crimson lips parting as she spoke.

"Lord Akira, I am here to conduct a strength assessment for you. Sirzechs-sama is very interested in your progress. He asked me to inquire if you have any needs. His exact words were: 'Akira may request anything, and I will do my best to fulfill it.'"

Akira raised an eyebrow.

For Sirzechs to offer such a favor, it was clear he wasn't just being polite. However, Akira couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret. If only Sirzechs had extended this offer before Akira had awakened his system, it would have been a true lifesaver. Now, it felt more like an afterthought.

As Grayfia finished speaking, Akira's system chimed in.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, for triggering a sign-in event!]

[Sign-in Level: Gold]

[Sign-in Type: Location Sign-in.]

[Sign-in Location: Grayfia's Pet Collar.]

"Wait, what? Grayfia's pet collar? Since when does Grayfia have a pet collar?" Akira thought, confused.

"Does this mean I have to put a pet collar on Grayfia?"

Before he could finish his internal monologue, the system chimed again.
