Chapter 27 - Watch Your Words, Burnt Chicken

"That, well..."

"Let me explain this myself, Rias-sama."

With the topic shifting to herself, Grayfia finally broke her silence.

"If that's the case, I'll leave it to you, Lucifer-sama."

Even though she had been interrupted, no annoyance crossed Rias's face. She simply looked at Grayfia and nodded calmly, signaling no objections.

You call her -sama, she calls you -sama, and you switch between "Lucifer-sama" and "Grayfia" freely. Your relationship is... complicated.

Staring at Grayfia's flawless, expressionless face, Hiro muttered internally, having calmed down.

"The great devil Lucifer from mythology personally explaining things... this feels a bit unreal."

Meeting Grayfia's gaze, Asia, sitting on his left, shrank back slightly, reverence clear in her eyes. She instinctively moved closer to him, seeking security.

Feeling the subtle pressure from her movement, Hiro glanced down at his left arm but said nothing. His attention was more on Grayfia's upcoming explanation than Asia's affectionate gesture.

"The reason I became a maid of the Gremory family dates back to the Devil Civil War."

With her hands clasped in front of her abdomen, the silver-haired maid, back turned to Rias and Akeno, addressed Hiro and Asia calmly.

"After the Great War between the Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels ended, the devil race fought among themselves for vacant Maou positions. The devils supporting the original Maou bloodline and the reformist devils stirred up conflict everywhere. How the war progressed is irrelevant to this topic, so we won't dwell on it. In the end, four Maou were appointed from the four strongest devils at that time."

In other words... stronger than Sirzechs Beelzebub and Ajuka Asmodeus, the transcendants? How did Grayfia, of all people, obtain such power?

Hiro's mind couldn't help but ask.

Then Grayfia's next words froze him.

"Yes. In terms of pure combat power, even if the other three Maou ganged up on me, I could defeat them easily."

The unspoken question was answered directly, her expression unchanged.

"..."

"Hmm?" Asia's puzzled voice came from his left.

The little nun was clearly struggling to connect the two completely unrelated statements.

Behind Grayfia, Akeno and Rias's expressions brightened, amused.

"Miss Grayfia, you... do you also have telepathy?"

After a pause, Hiro cautiously asked the silver-haired maid.

"Yes. A mere Grayfia possesses the ability to read minds. Has it caused you any trouble?"

Her voice was emotionless, eyes fixed on his. No dissatisfaction, resentment, or contradiction-just absence of reaction.

"...No, please continue."

Suppressing the urge to comment, Hiro glanced at the two beauties nearby, who were clearly enjoying themselves.

Rias silently mouthed something to him: You have courage.

"After the Civil War ended, although I became Lucifer, I had no interest in devil politics or internal affairs. Therefore, after using Evil Pieces to make Sirzechs Beelzebub my bishop, I handed over all matters to him. I personally modified some of the Gremory family's perceptions and have been training as a maid."

Hiro raised his right hand, rubbing his temples, bewildered.

Sirzechs taking the sacred beast Kirin as his servant was already beyond powerful.

Then Grayfia, who could take a transcendent as her servant... what does that make her? Super transcendent? Super-super transcendent?

Telepathy, perception manipulation... and what else?

And training... why train specifically with the Gremory family? The Lucifer family isn't small either...

Grayfia didn't seem to notice his thoughts and gave no sign of responding.

Squeak~

The clubroom door opened. Koneko and Kiba Yuuto arrived simultaneously. Noticing Grayfia, they bowed silently and approached.

Now, all members of the Occult Research Club-except for a certain shut-in vampire-were present.

"Then, Rias-sama, do you need me to explain?" Grayfia asked, looking at the head of the room.

"No, I can do it myself."

Politely declining, Rias rose, supporting herself on the table.

"Actually, there's something I wanted to tell everyone today..."

Before she could continue, fire erupted across the dim clubroom, illuminating the space.

Whoosh whoosh~~

Through the flames at the door, a male figure appeared, wearing a wine-red formal suit with the collar wide open, pulling off the formal attire like a delinquent youth.

"Phoenix..."

Rias bit her lip, squeezing the name out, a hint of helplessness in her expression.

Well, let's set aside Grayfia for now. What matters is... sending Riser back.

Hiro's thought flickered: I wonder if Grayfia heard that.

He turned slightly, and met the gaze of the silver-haired maid.

Big shot is awesome!!

"It's been a while since I've been in the human world."

Riser Phenex stepped from the flames, surveying the room.

However, seeing Hiro, a human, his brow furrowed, a trace of displeasure showing.

"Why is there a human male here, my dear..."

The next moment-

Bang!

Crack~~

With the sound of splintering wood, Riser's head slammed into the solid floor.

"Watch your words, burnt chicken."

Hiro looked at the delinquent prostrating several meters away, a slight headache forming.

Of course, the headache wasn't caused by Riser... but by the silent, silver-haired maid at his side.
