At such a close distance, Hiro faintly caught a strange, subtle fragrance.
Combined with Grayfia's slightly reddened eyes-looking as if tears might spill at any moment-it gave him a feeling that was both novel and oddly stimulating.
He was used to Grayfia's cold composure.
Seeing her like this felt... different.
It was like a veteran Pokémon player.
Ten years of clearing stages, collecting the Pokédex, fighting in competitions-always with familiar Pokémon.
Then one day, everything stayed the same.
Names.
Abilities.
Loyalty.
But their appearances changed completely.
Pikachu became a tall blonde beauty.
Primeape turned into a fiery red-haired woman.
Dragonite became a full-figured, athletic big sister.
Mew turned into a little loli.
Mewtwo became the grown-up version of that same loli.
The game still needed to be played.
The Pokédex still needed to be completed.
But the motivation and excitement were... different.
That was roughly Hiro's state of mind right now.
"Miss Grayfia, please calm down first."
Hiro gently pushed her hands away and spoke calmly, suppressing the urge to smile.
"Regarding this matter, I do have some clues. However, I don't currently have the ability to resolve it."
"Let's find a place to sit down first and talk properly."
The feeling just now had been pleasant.
But compared to fleeting stimulation, he was far more curious about what Grayfia had experienced after arriving in this world.
More importantly-
If he didn't act quickly, Lucifer and the Lucifer household would be annihilated.
From her words, it was clear.
Grayfia had traveled to a point after the Three Factions War.
A time when the Maou seat was vacant.
When the devil race had fallen into internal chaos.
And before she herself had been taken by Sirzechs.
In that case, the reason the four former original Maou families in the canon weren't exterminated-but merely exiled to the edge of the Underworld-was likely because Grayfia, the former Lucifer's queen, had intervened.
Otherwise, why would rebels who seized power leave behind unstable remnants of the former royal family?
Out of faith?
History offered a clear answer.
Across thousands of years, how many fallen royal families ever met peaceful ends?
Didn't even the last ruler of Southern Tang die mysteriously?
"But-but I am the eldest daughter of the Lucifer family."
Grayfia's voice trembled.
"I have the duty to protect and serve the next generation Maou Lucifer."
"If those traitors succeed, the Lucifer family will be completely erased."
"How... how can I calm down?!"
Hearing the words "some clues," Grayfia grew even more agitated instead of calming down.
She stepped closer.
Her slender body leaned in.
"Please."
"If you don't have the ability, then tell me."
"I'll find a way myself."
"As payment, everything I have now-including this body-can be temporarily handed over to you!"
Hiro's eyelids twitched.
Seeing that she genuinely meant to act on those words, he immediately seized control of her brain and cut off that line of thought.
Lucifer?
What a coincidence.
Hiro glanced at the system item bar.
The icon of a horned figure with twin wings sat there quietly.
Something about it felt... ironic.
"How could this lord refuse to tell you?"
Grayfia continued, panic thick in her voice.
"Other than my memories, I only have this pure body of value left."
"If even that isn't enough..."
"Don't be so anxious, Grayfia."
Hiro cut her off.
"I never said I wouldn't tell you."
Snap.
He calmly grabbed the hand that reached out again.
At the same time, without any outward sign, he equipped Divine Attribute - Lucifer.
Lucifer.
Some said he was Michael's brother.
Once a twelve-winged Seraph, later fallen.
Some said he was another name for Satan.
Some said he was the chief of the four Maous, commanding endless devils in the High School DxD mythology.
There were many interpretations of the name "Lucifer."
The system didn't explain which one this was.
And Hiro, having just equipped it, didn't analyze it either.
What he did notice-
The struggle in Grayfia's palm weakened instantly.
By more than half.
Hiro looked straight into her gray eyes at close range and smiled faintly.
"You said you're a devil who serves Maou Lucifer."
"And that you must protect Lucifer, right?"
"...Yes."
Grayfia nodded hesitantly.
She didn't even register how close they were.
Her attention was completely captured by the feedback from her perception.
He was clearly human.
So why did he possess the aura of Maou Lucifer?
And not just a trace.
None of the Lucifer bloodline- not even the designated successor-had ever carried such an aura.
It felt as if the entire Lucifer family had been condensed into a single body.
How was that possible?
A human with Lucifer's identity?
A devil inhabiting a human body?
A devil wearing human skin?
"That's quite the coincidence."
Hiro curled his lips slightly, clearly enjoying the confusion in her eyes.
"I'm also Lucifer."
"...!"
"Do you think I'm qualified to be called Maou Lucifer?"
"Yes."
Grayfia answered immediately.
There was no hesitation.
"No devil of the Lucifer family could ever compare to you, my Lord."
"You can be called the embodiment-no, the spokesperson-of the name 'Lucifer.'"
Yet even as her perception confirmed it...
She still couldn't understand one thing.
Why-
Was there still a human aura mixed within him?
