"So you better keep a low profile for a while."
After saying that, Minamiya Natsuki activated her space magic and vanished.
She had to clean up the mess Lynn had just caused in the area.
With the general public in a panic, some magical intervention was necessary to calm things down.
Lynn rubbed his chin as he stared at the spot where Natsuki had disappeared. From her words, he understood just how much of a commotion his domain expansion had stirred up.
"Huh? The same storyline is happening in Kuoh Town? Doesn't seem to have anything to do with me."
Still, as a friend, he felt obligated to give Rias a heads-up.
"But about the stolen Holy Swords..."
Lynn narrowed his eyes, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.
"It must be that damn fallen angel bird?"
A flicker of understanding flashed through his gaze.
Well... whatever.
After all, he was now so powerful that he didn't care anymore, and he even had a rich red-haired lady who had been quite generous to him.
Not to mention, there was also his rich fiancée and a cute pet-in-training.
Lynn pulled out his phone and sent Rias the message anyway.

Kuoh Town - Kuoh Academy
Occult Research Club
Rias blinked at the message she had just received.
"The Holy Swords were stolen?"
That was definitely a serious issue!
But... What did that have to do with her in Kuoh Town?
Though a little puzzled, she still replied:
[Rias: "Thanks for the heads-up, but everything seems normal in Kuoh Town so far."]
[Rias: "By the way, about that meal you promised... when are you treating me?"]
She hadn't forgotten.
[Lynn: "Next time, for sure."]
Sitting in the clubroom, Rias puffed up her cheeks, staring at her phone.
"Liar."
But it wasn't about the meal itself—she actually had something she wanted to ask him.
After some thought, she sent another message.
[Rias: "How about this? I'll treat you instead."]
[Lynn: "Okay, you set the time."]
[Rias: "..."]
She stared at the screen, pouting.
"So it's not that he's too busy—it's just that he doesn't want to pay!"
"Hmph!"
Feeling slightly annoyed, she stood up and walked over to the full-length mirror in the clubroom, examining her body. Then, she turned to Akeno, who was gracefully practicing a tea ceremony.
"Akeno, be honest..."
"Have I lost my charm?"
She was having a mini crisis.
After all, at Kuoh Academy, she still had plenty of admirers.
So why did she feel like a completely unremarkable woman in Lynn's eyes?
Not even worth a single meal?
"Ara~ Ara~?"
Akeno paused, then put down her teacup and looked Rias up and down before flashing a teasing smile.
"With a body like yours, you could make men fall at your feet with just these curves."
Hearing that, Rias' cheeks flushed slightly.
"It's not that exaggerated..."
But...
Thinking of Lynn, she sighed again.
Akeno's eyes gleamed mischievously as she chuckled.
"Are you worried about how to seduce someone?"
Rias rolled her eyes. "What seduction? Don't make it sound so bad."
After a pause, she added, "I'm heading to Tokyo in a few days."
Akeno: "???"
She blinked in mild confusion.
What for?
Then she suddenly froze.
There was only one person in that area who had any connection to Rias.
Lynn.
"Ara~ ara~...."
Akeno smirked, her eyes glinting with playful conspiracy.
"Rias... are you finally making a move on Sona's fiancé?"
"Do you need help?"
The clubroom fell silent.
Koneko stopped munching on her snacks, her eyes locking onto Rias with a cautious gaze.
"President..."
Her tone was flat, emotionless.
Yet somehow filled with meaning.
Rias' expression stiffened. She shot a glare at Akeno before sighing.
"Use your tiny brains and think. Do you really think I'd go after Sona's fiancé?"
She spoke with absolute righteousness.
"I'm her best friend!"
"Can I do something like this? Hmph!"
To prove her innocence, she waved a hand dramatically.
"Fine! We'll all go together! Consider it a club trip!"

A few days later.
[Rias: "Sorry, something came up. Might have to cancel."]

Occult Research Club.
Rias frowned at the two unexpected visitors sitting on the sofa across from her.
Shidou Irina and Quarta Xenovia, completely unfazed, met her gaze.
"Not long ago, the Excaliburs Holy Swords were stolen from the Vatican, as well as from the Protestant and Orthodox churches," Irina explained.
Rias and Akeno showed no reaction.
After all, Lynn had already warned them.
Rias narrowed her eyes. "So what? That has nothing to do with us Devils."
Irina shrugged helplessly. "Can't be helped—the thief came to this town."
Rias stiffened before frowning deeply.
Great. More trouble.
"Oh, and by the way," Irina continued, pausing before her voice turned grim. "The culprit is..."
She let the words hang before adding coldly:
"Kokabiel."
Rias' heart skipped a beat.
After the church representatives left, Rias immediately messaged Lynn.
[Rias: "You were right. The church people came."]
[Lynn: "Need this Devil's assistance?"]
Just as she received that message, a glowing magic circle appeared above her phone.
A contract scroll materialized out of thin air.
Rias instinctively caught it, her eyes widening in disbelief.
"Did... did a Devil's contract just get delivered to me, a Devil?!"

Tokyo, Lynn's Apartment
After receiving Rias' message, Lynn wasn't surprised.
"The Holy Sword arc is happening a little earlier than expected..."
Was it the butterfly effect?
His mind drifted to the batch of holy artifacts that Sona had previously sent him, and his eyelid twitched.
Case closed?

[Ding!]
A new message popped up in the group chat for his Familia harem.
[The Noble Puppy: (Ryūkotsusei.jpg)]
[The Noble Puppy: "Lynn-sama, I'm about to complete the dragon hunt. Your loyal puppy will return to your side soon~"]
A regal, elegant beauty sat high in a palace among the clouds, sending a message that completely clashed with her noble demeanor.
[Busujima Saeko: "A Dragon? I'd Love to Slay One! Mind If I Tag Along?"]
She was just a step away from leveling up to an Ultimate-Class Devil and saw this as the perfect opportunity.
[The Noble Puppy: "???"]
[Tendo Kisara: "I also want to join in! Let me get some action too!"]
[The Noble Puppy: "..."]
Ryougetsu Senhime's golden eyes flashed with annoyance.
She was having a conversation with her Lord Lynn, and these two women just had to interrupt!
"Princess, the clan members are ready!"
Just as she was about to say more in the group chat, a maid entered the room.
Senhime paused before responding in her usual cold tone, "Alright."
"I'll leave once those two get here."
"The hunt for the dragon daiyōkai begins!"
