"Grayfia, before you came here, did you know people like Serafall, Sirzechs, or Ajuka?"
Hiro cast a subtle glance toward the two girls in the front seats. Grayfia thought for a moment, then looked at him and nodded slowly.
"I know them. Those three are the core pillars of the Reformist Faction."
"Then if you were to duel each of them one-on-one, could you win?"
"I am confident I could defeat Serafall. As for Sirzechs and Ajuka, they are not opponents I can overcome yet."
As expected.
That was the gap between a Super Devil and a Maou.
Hiro wasn't surprised. If not for being dragged into another world, Grayfia would likely have followed the original path-falling in love with Sirzechs, relinquishing the Leviathan position, and becoming the Queen of Lucifer. Perhaps it was precisely because of that path that the five great families-Lucifer, Lucifuge, Leviathan, Asmodeus, and Beelzebub-were preserved.
"In that case..."
Hiro looked at Grayfia's habitually cold, refined face and smiled faintly. He spread his right hand, palm up, before her. His voice carried an unmistakable hint of temptation.
"Do you want the power to defeat Sirzechs and Ajuka?"
"... "
Her expression remained composed, but her gray eyes widened ever so slightly.
Power.
Even if I return now, I don't have the strength to reverse the war alone. But if I could defeat him-or even them-perhaps I could protect more than just the Lucifuge clan. Still... without enough strength, stepping aside for more capable devils to become Maou may be the wiser choice.
Because Hiro had temporarily shut down his mind-reading toward Grayfia, he didn't know the exact direction of her thoughts.
"I do."
After a brief silence, Grayfia met Hiro's brown eyes directly and nodded.
In the narrow, slightly jolting back seat of the car, Grayfia kept her balance perfectly. Like a knight swearing fealty, she placed her left palm into Hiro's right hand.
In the front, Erica and Arianna witnessed the scene, each with very different reactions.
Ah... it's like a fairy-tale proposal.
So romantic.
If a man this handsome proposed to me, I'd say yes immediately.
But... if I get married, what happens to Lady Erica?
Arianna, still in her maid outfit, kept both hands on the steering wheel. Her eyes shimmered faintly.
Though in reality, seeing the "princess" Grayfia dressed as a maid slightly ruined the atmosphere.
Unlike Arianna, Erica felt no envy or excitement. Instead, alarm bells rang in her mind.
Granting power?
Does magic that transfers strength even exist?
And those names-Sirzechs, Ajuka, Serafall-what exactly is going on?
Did I misjudge this man?
In the hidden world, there are many who maintain youthful appearances...
The closest example she knew was Lucrézia Zora, whom they were about to meet. Mostly women, yes-but men weren't impossible.
Hearing Erica's thoughts, Hiro didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She's treating me like some ancient monster with an unknown age.
"Arianna, look ahead. Look ahead."
"Ah-right!"
Startled, Arianna finally noticed the coastline ahead and reflexively made another sharp turn.
Hiro didn't let go of Grayfia's soft, slender hand. Instead, he raised his free left hand and gently pressed it against her forehead.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just checking which method suits you better."
Feeling Grayfia's hand tighten slightly, he smiled and spoke reassuringly.
"Yes. I have shown you an unseemly side of myself."
After saying that, Grayfia slowly closed her gray eyes, allowing him to proceed.
He had only recently obtained Soul Materialization. This would be his first real application. Claiming he felt no tension would have been dishonest. Anything involving the soul was serious. Someone who could split their soul and lose only part of their memories was already considered exceptional.
Entering Grayfia's sea of consciousness, Hiro quickly found the translucent humanoid representing her soul.
As expected of a soul reflecting the true self-it had no clothes, no accessories, no ornaments.
"Hm... this appearance..."
After observing it for a moment, Hiro noticed a clear difference from the mature Grayfia in his memory.
Especially in one particular area.
So she hasn't undergone Soul Materialization yet?
Or did I wait a few years in this world before giving it to Maid Grayfia?
Once a soul is materialized, the body will always recover to match it. As long as the soul remains intact, growth effectively stops.
In other words, she would lose the ability to continue developing.
It made sense for someone like Ye Taeko, Sephie Deviluke, Midori Kirigaya, or Mafuyu Kirisu.
But for the current Grayfia...
Even he himself had no intention of strengthening his own soul yet. A sixteen-year-old body still had room to grow.
"Not sure whether changes are possible after materialization... better not risk it."
With a silent sigh, Hiro withdrew his hand.
Facing Grayfia's questioning gaze, he explained calmly.
"The first method isn't suitable for you right now. Let's use the second."
Not suitable?
Grayfia noticed his brief glance toward her chest. Her heart stirred.
Could it be... a side effect related to physical growth?
By sheer coincidence, she had guessed correctly.
And-
The second method? There's more than one?
Listening from the front, Erica's suspicion deepened further.
Who exactly is this man?
Without hesitation, Hiro pressed his palm against the spot closest to Grayfia's heart.
Then he activated the Reincarnation Curse Power obtained from slaying the Heretic Cupid, guiding it carefully into her body.
With the System-generated Grand Rite of Reincarnation and Hiro personally presiding, the entire process went smoothly.
Grayfia didn't faint.
She didn't lose consciousness.
She didn't scream.
Her calm expression never changed, as if she felt nothing at all.
And yet-
In that quiet, unremarkable moment-
A Campione was born.
Grayfia Lucifuge.
