Serafall had all but delivered herself to Shuo's doorstep, and there was no way he was letting this chance slip away.
He flashed her a grin.
"Come on, Serafall—let's go to my room. I've got something you've got to see. Really good stuff!"
Serafall blinked, suspicion flickering across her face.
"Good stuff? Why do we have to go to your room for that? You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
Shuo put on his most innocent look.
"Me? Trick you? Never. But if Sona finds out we're filming a magical girl video, she'll try to shut us down. Better to keep it secret, right?"
Serafall considered, then nodded.
"Okay, that makes sense."
So Shuo led her into his room.
A while later, the room was filled with Serafall's excited squeals.
"Oh wow! This is amazing!"
"Don't stop, play another one!"
Her cheeks glowed pink as she glued her eyes to the phone, watching magical girl anime clips. Every transformation, every costume—she saw herself in the characters.
She thrust the phone toward Shuo, eyes sparkling.
"Shuo, I want to film something just like this!"
Shuo grinned, playing up his "professional" side.
"Easy! First, you change into your costume, and I'll shoot a video and some photos. We send them to the TV station, and boom—maybe you get cast!"
Serafall bounced with excitement, then hesitated, glancing at Shuo with a shy smile.
"Um… you'll have to step out. I need to change."
The air turned awkward for a moment. Shuo just leaned against the wall, smirking.
"Come on, Serafall. You already gave me half of Sona—we're practically family. You're really shy about changing in front of me?"
Serafall's eyes narrowed, clearly sensing a trap. But after a beat, she sighed, cheeks burning, and changed into her magical girl outfit right there.
Red, of course—matching her usual style. Shuo's eyes widened, momentarily stunned by how well the look suited her. He barely registered the system's mission-complete chime.
Girls in this DxD world are something else…
Serafall caught him staring, her heart skipping.
He really is… kind of handsome.
No, no, what am I thinking?
She shook her head, flustered, but managed a brave face.
"So… how do I look?"
Shuo slid over and sat beside her, making her jump. His gaze was intense, almost predatory.
"Heh, you look adorable in that outfit, Serafall. But honestly? You can't hide how sexy you are."
Serafall's heart hammered. She almost stammered a reply, but Shuo cut her off.
"All right, let's get some great shots—guaranteed to blow everyone away."
He didn't push any further, keeping things playful. Then he started positioning Serafall, guiding her into poses—some cute, some… a little more daring.
"That's it! Hold that pose!"
"Perfect! Amazing!"
Serafall flushed deeper, caught between embarrassment and excitement. She wanted to protest, but the words stuck in her throat. She let Shuo direct her, cheeks burning, as he snapped photo after photo.
Thirty minutes later, Shuo surveyed his "masterpieces," thoroughly satisfied. He made sure to take a few safe, TV-friendly shots to submit, but the rest—the best ones—he kept for his private collection. After all, Serafall was his future wife, right?
With his phone sorted, Shuo turned to Serafall, who looked as if she'd just run a marathon—flushed, breathless, and a little dazed.
He reached out and gently pinched her cheek.
Her face went scarlet, heart thundering. She tried to play tough.
"What was that for? Watch it, or I'll hit you!"
Shuo leaned in, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper.
"Serafall, I just came up with a plan. Not only will it help you get on TV, but it'll bring you and Sona closer together."
Serafall perked up, curiosity overcoming her embarrassment.
"Oh? What's the plan? Tell me!"
Shuo grinned.
"Simple—you get Sona to join you on the magical girl show. You get your dream, and you two bond at the same time."
Serafall's eyes lit up, then dimmed.
"But… Sona would never agree. You know how she is."
Shuo winked.
"Normally, sure. But if you pull the classic 'cry, pout, threaten to run away' routine, she won't stand a chance."
He leaned in, whispering detailed steps in her ear. Serafall shivered at the warmth of his breath, her blush deepening, but she listened intently.
"First you do this… then that… and finally…"
Meanwhile, Sona sat alone in her room, suddenly sneezing.
"Achoo! Did I catch a cold? Why is Sis taking so long? What's she even doing with Shuo-kun?"
She had no idea her sister was plotting with Shuo to "deal with" her.
Back in Shuo's room, he finished his explanation.
"That's my plan. Whether you and Sona end up on TV together—all up to you."
Serafall stuck out her tongue, confidence restored.
"Leave it to me! Sona-chan won't know what hit her!"
She dashed out, ready to put the scheme into action.
Shuo watched her go, grinning. Not only had he completed his mission, but he'd grown even closer to Serafall.
Sorry, Sona. Nothing personal.
Sisters, together, in magical girl costumes… now that's something worth looking forward to.
He tapped his phone.
"System, open my reward!"
"Ding! Black Tier reward unlocked. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained…"
