Outside the door stood—Ena Seishuuin.

"Ena, what are you doing here?" Hikari asked in surprise.

"I heard your sister is back, so I came to see her," Ena replied.

"Oh, come on in!"

Ena entered and saw Roy and the others.

She glanced around the room, then turned to Yuri. "Yuri, I heard you were back, so I came to see you."

"Thank you for your concern," Yuri replied with a smile.

Ena then looked at Roy and the others, her gaze finally settling on—Roy.

She could tell that he was the leader of the group.

In fact, Ena had come here after learning that a Campione was visiting the Mariya household.

"You must be the Campione-sama—I am Ena Seishuuin. You can just call me Ena, Campione-sama," she introduced herself.

The others exchanged glances.

Although Ena seemed casual, they could tell she had an ulterior motive.

"You're a sly one, aren't you? Just tell me what you want. Maybe I can help," Roy said with a chuckle, amused by the little girl's scheming.

"Ah—um..." Ena blushed, embarrassed that her intentions had been exposed.

"I want to be the King's Knight," she declared, suddenly bowing deeply.

"Oh? You want to be my Knight? And why is that?" Roy asked with a playful smile.

Ena fidgeted nervously under his gaze.

"Because I admire you, Campione-sama."

"Is that all?"

"There's—Another reason. I don't want to be controlled by my grandfather anymore," Ena said, looking up at Roy with a determined expression.

"And who is your grandfather?" Roy asked curiously.

"He's one of the elders of the History Compilation Committee—Heretic God Susanoo," Ena confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.

"They want me to use this sword to lure you into the Netherworld."

She presented a sword.

Roy instantly recognized it as the [Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi]—The sword wielded by the Heretic God—Susanoo in the original story.

The Heretic God had given this sword, which possessed a will of its own, to Ena.

If Ena failed to control it after using the "Possession" Technique, the sword would take over her body.

The Heretic God's plan was to have Ena use the sword's power to drag Roy and the others into the Netherworld.

However, Ena hadn't followed his instructions.

Instead, she had revealed his plan.

This meant she had no way back now.

Having failed her mission and exposed the Heretic God's plan, she would likely be punished severely.

"I see. Then I accept your request," Roy said, looking at the pitiful little girl.

Ena had risked her life to warn them. He couldn't disappoint her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ena exclaimed gratefully.

Just then, the [Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi] in her hand glowed brightly, as if trying to do something.

"Hmph! Trying to act up in front of me?" Roy scoffed, then summoned the sword to his hand.

The sword's glow subsided.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Ena asked cautiously.

"It's nothing. This sword is the Heretic God's weapon. It probably heard our conversation and tried to escape," Roy explained with a chuckle.

"I see." Ena sighed in relief.

"Ena, are you ready to become my Knight?" Roy asked, his expression turning serious.

Ena nodded nervously.

"Yes, I am."

"Good. Then you're my Knight now."

Roy took out a Knight piece and merged it into Ena's body.

"By the name of Roy Lucifuge, I command thee, Ena Seishuuin, to become my servant Devil, reborn as my Knight!"

The magic circle glowed brightly, and soon, Ena's transformation was complete.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ena knelt on one knee, performing a knightly salute.

"You can go back and make some arrangements now. The upcoming battle against the Heretic God might affect the entire country. You should evacuate those you care about," Roy instructed.

Ena's heart sank.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll go make arrangements now."

"Go ahead."

...

Several days passed.

Roy and the girls enjoyed their time in Japan.

Ena had arranged for her family to evacuate.

And Hikari had been sent to the Bronze Black Cross Headquarters.

Many other noble families—learning about the impending battle between the Campione and the Heretic God, also chose to leave Japan.

Roy and the girls had also had their fill of sightseeing.

It was time to deal with the Heretic God—Susanoo."

"Rias, you all wait here. I'll go to the Netherworld and drag those old geezers out," Roy said with a grin.

He then took out the [Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi] and released its seal.

The sword pulsed with a dark aura.

In the next moment, Roy was enveloped by the Darkness and vanished.

"Your Majesty!" Ena cried out in worry, seeing Roy disappear.

"Don't worry, Ena. There's no one in this world who can harm Roy," Rias reassured her, patting her head.

"Okay." Ena nodded, her eyes filled with admiration.

...

Roy reappeared in a forest.

A heavy downpour was battering the trees, and the wind howled.

Roy scanned the area and soon found a small cabin.

He could sense the aura of a Heretic God inside.

Without hesitation, he pushed the door open.

"You're finally here. It seems that girl wasn't very efficient," an old man said, sitting cross-legged by the fireplace.

He wore a simple kimono and had a surprisingly muscular build for an old man.

This was the Heretic God, "The Old One,"—also known as Susano'o.

"You're Susano'o, aren't you?" Roy asked with a smile.

"Yes, I was once a Heretic God. But I've graduated from that position now," Susano'o replied calmly, taking a sip of sake.

"Now, I'm just an old man overseeing the younger generation."

"But when those youngsters encounter opponents they can't handle, it's our duty to step in and offer some guidance."

His meaning was clear.

"I'm not here for idle chatter," Roy said, cutting him off.

He had come here simply to capture these Heretic Gods and let his girls become Campiones.

He wasn't interested in discussing irrelevant matters.

"Call out the other Heretic Gods who are hiding. I'm here for a fight. Nothing more."

Susano'o frowned at Roy's arrogant words.

"It seems we can't reach an agreement. In that case, I'll have to keep you here."

He unleashed his powerful aura.

Susano'o wasn't an ordinary Heretic God.

He was originally the god of the land of Izumo, but he had merged with many other gods, gaining their Authorities and becoming incredibly powerful.

However, his aura was like a gentle breeze to Roy.

It didn't faze him at all.

Susano'o was surprised. He hadn't expected this Campione to be so unfazed.

"Keke, brat, don't think you're invincible just because you're a Campione. You're still far from our level," a raspy voice cackled as a figure appeared in the cabin.

It was a monk dressed in black robes.

"Why can't we resolve this peacefully?" another voice asked.

A beautiful princess with mesmerizing, glass-like eyes also appeared.

She wore the attire of a noblewoman from the Heian period, a colorful twelve-layered kimono. She had brown hair and flawless, ivory skin.

These were the Black Priest and the Princess with Glass Eyes from the original story.

...

Roy ignored the Black Priest and focused his attention on the Princess with Glass Eyes.

If he remembered correctly, her true identity was Sita, the wife of Rama, the last king and the slayer of demon kings.

'Another Milf,' Roy thought with a smile.

She was a true Yamato Nadeshiko, a paragon of Japanese feminine beauty.

'It seems I'll be playing the role of Cao Cao this time,' he mused.

"Is everyone here now?" he asked.

"Hmph, you conceited—brat!" the Black Priest snarled, ready to attack.

But he found he couldn't move.

"What's going on?" he exclaimed in shock.

Susano'o and the Princess with Glass Eyes also realized they were immobilized.

They stared at Roy in disbelief. How could he have restrained them so easily?

His power was terrifying. Who was this man?

"Come with me," Roy said with a chuckle, enjoying their shocked expressions.

He snapped his fingers.

In the next instant, they vanished from the Netherworld.
