After the White Dragon Emperor Vali had vanished, it took a while for everyone to collect themselves.
"Kyoya, are you really going to fight the White Dragon Emperor?"
Rias looked at me with concern. Although she knew I was strong, Vali was one of the Two Heavenly Dragons—feared even by Gods and Satans.
The others also looked at me with concern.
"Don't underestimate me! Even if I don't go looking for Vali, he'll eventually come looking for me. Besides, it's just a spar, not a deathmatch. You don't have to worry so much," Seeing how serious the atmosphere had become, I quickly reassured them.
"And how can you be so sure I'll lose? I still have some trump cards I haven't used yet that could definitely defeat Vali." I added with a wink.
"!!!!"
Hearing me reveal that I still had a trump card, Rias, Sona, and the others stared at me in shock.
They couldn't believe that I was still holding back, even after displaying such incredible power.
"Oh my, Kyoya, you're so sneaky. Keeping secrets from us? Tell us already!"
This teasing tone made my skin crawl. I turned to look at Akeno, thinking, 'This Vixen—trying to shake my resolve. I'll have to deal with her later!!!'
"Well, if it's a trump card, it needs to be kept secret, right? But you'll see it eventually,"
Seeing that I didn't want to elaborate, they didn't press the issue, knowing they would probably find out eventually anyway.
"This incident is finally over. Not only did we eliminate the Fallen Angel cadre Kokabiel, but Kiba also overcame his psychological trauma and unlocked his Balance Breaker. Happy ending for everyone. But..."
I paused, then turned to look at the dejected Xenovia and Irina. "Xenovia, Irina, now that you know your God is no longer around, what are your plans?"
"We... We don't know..." Hearing my question, the two girls looked lost.
"Although Kokabiel is dead, The stolen Excalibur fragments were destroyed. You failed your mission. And since you became our allies, the Church will likely see you as traitors or heretics if you return,"
Hearing this, Xenovia lowered her head in resignation, remaining silent.
"I... I'm going back to the Church!" Irina declared, her voice trembling.
"Are you going back to die?" I asked, incredulous.
Although I knew Irina's faith was more devout than Xenovia's, I couldn't help but feel frustrated by her stubborn decision.
"Don't you remember what happened to Asia and Kiba? If you go back, they might even execute you!"
"Then, then what do you suggest I do!!!" Irina slumped to the ground, looking lost and confused.
"You can live with us, of course. We've been getting along well these past few days, haven't we?" I smiled and continued to suggest.
"Rather than being branded a heretic by the Church and being expelled or executed, why don't you become Devils? Look, there are two Maou's sisters right here."
Hearing my words, Rias and Sona's eyes lit up.
These were two Holy Sword Wielders! They were incredibly talented individuals.
"That's right. How about becoming members of our family?" Rias and Sona both extended their hands to Xenovia and Irina.
This offer stunned both Xenovia and Irina.
Xenovia lowered her head, contemplating her options. Becoming a Devil might be the best decision for her right now—
Irina, with her more devout faith, had a much stronger reaction. "I don't want to become a Devil! I'd rather go back to the Church!"
Hearing this, I started to think about how to convince her. She was a beautiful girl with twin-tails, how could I let her go?
I suddenly swept Irina off her feet, carrying her in a princess hold.
"Kyah! Wh-what are you doing? Put me down!" Irina's face flushed red at an alarming speed.
"I'm going to have a private conversation with Irina. Xenovia, you can choose to become either Rias's or Sona's servant. It's up to you," I said, walking away with Irina in my arms.
The others were stunned by this sudden turn of events, but Rias and Sona resumed their "competition" for Xenovia.
After a while, Xenovia raised her head and looked at Rias. "You're Kyoya's fiancée, right? Now that My Lord is gone, I have a new goal: to have children with Kyoya—Preferably a girl. Would you still accept me as your servant knowing this?"
"....."
The girls were all speechless. Talk about a shocking declaration!
"Sigh... I don't mind, as long as you succeed," Rias replied with a sigh.
She knew that I would have many women in the future. She couldn't have me all to herself. As long as she could secure the position of the main wife, that was enough.
"In that case, I'll become your servant, Rias Gremory," Xenovia declared, taking Rias's hand.
Hearing Xenovia's answer, Rias smiled and held out her hand.
Sona, seeing this, twitched her eyes. It was because of Rias's relationship with Kyoya that Xenovia chose to join Rias.
Sona watched them, her eyes filled with frustration.
Xenovia had chosen Rias solely because of her engagement to me.
"Ugh... I'm so jealous," Sona grumbled.
....
Just then, I returned with Irina, her hand in mine.
"Even though Irina hasn't agreed to become a Devil, she's joining us! And she's one of us now!"
Seeing Irina's shy expression, the group started to speculate.
"Kyoya, did you do something inappropriate?"
"That pervert must have done something 'H' again, H-senpai."
"Kyoya, what did you do to Irina?" Akeno asked with interest.
"Hehe, I can't tell you. It's a little secret between Irina and me." I simply smiled.
Actually, I just told her that she didn't have to become a Devil to stay with us and that maybe in the future, she could even become an Angel and see her Lord again.
At first, Irina didn't believe me. But eventually, she was persuaded and decided to stay with us.
Of course, I wasn't lying to her. After all, I'm a man with a system. Making my wife an Angel in the future would be as easy as pie.
The system tasks related to Xenovia and Irina were also completed, but I didn't pay much attention to the rewards at the moment.
After everything was settled, we all headed home together.
