Underworld
Capital: Lilith
Maou Conference Room
An ice-blue magic circle lit up, and Serafall appeared with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Sirzechs, who had just taken a sip of water, paused and set the cup down. "It was resolved that quickly?"
Serafall waved her hand, looking thoughtful. "Kokabiel was already dead before I arrived."
"Dead?"
Sirzechs' expression became solemn.
Although Kokabiel was the one who initiated the chaos, dying in devil territory was still problematic, especially given his rank.
But…
"It couldn't have been Rias and the others who did it, right?" Sirzechs asked, certain of his sister's capabilities.
After Serafall gave a full account of what happened, Sirzechs stroked his chin. "Lynn…"
A survivor of the Valefor Clan?
Sirzechs sighed. "As expected of someone from that family. At such a young age, he already possesses Maou-level strength."
Could it be…
That man?
Serafall hesitated. She had something to say.
But in the end, she just sighed and shared her thoughts.
After all…
It was only a guess.
"But…" Sirzechs suddenly asked with concern, "After this incident, Lynn's identity probably can't be hidden anymore, right?"
The death of a Fallen Angel executive would inevitably spark investigations. Anyone looking into the event would uncover what happened in Kuoh Town.
"Ah…"
Serafall blinked. "The devils might not care, but the Fallen Angels will definitely dig into it."
Not to mention…
"A devil capable of using the power of light. That's… a pretty unique trait."
Sirzechs looked troubled.
The Valefor Clan had once been known for their mastery over the power of light. Lynn using it would naturally raise suspicions.
Not to mention… his name.
Lynn Valefor.
"Still…" Serafall waved her hand. "He's already at the Maou level. Even if people find out, so what?"
"With that kind of light-based power, if anyone tries to start trouble… who knows who'll end up dead."

Present Day — Lynn's Apartment
"Koneko, you know the process, right?"
Koneko blushed slightly and nodded.
Seeing this, Lynn summoned the Evil Pieces. "Alright, let's begin."
"Phew…"
Koneko took a deep breath and reached for her clothes, her hands trembling slightly, clearly nervous.
Seeing this, Kuroka's golden eyes gleamed with mischief. A sly grin curled at her lips.
Then—
Fwoosh—
She swiftly yanked off Koneko's clothes, leaving her completely exposed.
"Huh?!"
Koneko let out a surprised cry, suddenly feeling the chill on her bare skin.
"Big sister!"
She immediately crouched down, covering herself and glaring at Kuroka with a flushed face.
Kuroka didn't care in the slightest and even held up Koneko's underwear.
"Oh, so Shirone's still a little kid?"
Kuroka shook her head teasingly at Koneko, her expression playful.
Koneko snapped, glanced at Kuroka's chest, and growled, "I—I just haven't started developing yet!"
The two began to argue.
Lynn watched the show for a moment, then gently pressed the Evil Piece into Koneko's soft back.
"Ah…"
Koneko's eyes widened slightly.
It felt different from what she experienced with Rias.
At the same time, a familiar system chime echoed in Lynn's ears.
[Ding! You have obtained a new Peerage Member: Koneko!]
[Ding! Your Peerage Member Koneko has been reincarnated as a Special-Type Devil!]
Lynn narrowed his eyes as Koneko's Blessing information appeared in front of him.

"Cat Devil…"
Lynn was surprised when he saw Koneko's demon classification.
The same type as Midori Fuse.
But…
Lynn compared Koneko's skills with Midori's.
"Even though they're the same type, their abilities are completely different…"
He handed Koneko her Blessing info and explained the system as usual.
"I see…"
Koneko held the Blessing report in her hand, a look of understanding dawning in her eyes.
So this was the secret behind Senpai's Peerage?
Could it be…
"Is this also why Saeko-senpai is so strong?"
"That's right, meow!"
Kuroka suddenly hugged her from behind and ruffled her head. "Now you know why big sister wanted to take you away!"
"If you don't step it up, you'll fall behind, meow!"
And…
"Master's Peerage isn't limited to just this~"
Kuroka winked mysteriously, still holding Koneko's underwear.
Lynn, meanwhile, pulled out the Evil Piece set Rias had previously given him.
He took one out and examined it closely.
He hadn't felt anything special about it before…
But now…
There was a strange sense of familiarity.
Lynn's red eyes flickered slightly.
What was this feeling?
As he pondered, Kuroka crawled into his arms.
She stuck out her rear and swayed her tail, brushing it gently against Lynn's cheek.
Lying sideways, her golden eyes sparkled with allure. She ran a finger across her lips and breathed softly.
"Master~ While that little brat's out of the way… wanna have a baby with Kuroka~?"
She rubbed against him seductively. As her smirk deepened, she clearly sensed something happening.
Lynn's gaze darkened.
"Don't even think about leaving the bed tonight."
Kuroka froze.
The next second, Lynn hoisted her up.
"Meow?!"
She panicked.
This had escalated too fast!
Bang!
Lynn kicked open the bedroom door and tossed her onto the bed.
"Wait!"
Kuroka quickly scooted back, but…
"I've had enough waiting."
Lynn's eyes gleamed. "I'm pissed right now…"
"Wha—wait… meow!!"
