With the Three Factions' Peace Conference concluded, Roy returned to his peaceful daily life.

One day, at the Occult Re

"Going to the Underworld while we're still alive is a bit nerve-wracking, but I'll face it with the resolve of someone facing death!" Asia joked.

"Are we going to hell?" Sheele asked with a confused tilt of her head.

"Silly Sheele, the Underworld is just where Devils live. It's not hell," Chelsea explained patiently.

"We're going to meet Buchou's sister? I'm so nervous," Aika, Murayama, and Katase said in unison. It was their first time visiting the Underworld.

"Will we see Grayfia-sama when we go to the Underworld?" Alice asked, raising her hand.

"Of course. She's been wanting us to visit," Roy replied with a smile, patting Alice's head.

"Special training, huh?" Koneko mumbled, petting her cat.

She stood up and approached Roy.

"Roy-senpai, please make me stronger. I don't want to be a burden," she said with a determined look.

Roy was momentarily surprised, then smiled. "Koneko, you're not a burden at all. Don't worry, I'll make you stronger during the training camp."

"That's right, Koneko. You're not a burden. You're my precious servant," Rias added, hugging Koneko.

Koneko had been feeling insecure because she hadn't been able to contribute much in recent battles.

But her resolve to become stronger was unwavering.

And it wasn't just Koneko. Roy had other servants in a similar situation.

For example, Yuriko and Alice were still Low-Class.

But that was normal. It had been less than half a year since they became Devils.

Half a year was nothing to a Devil.

Countless Devils remained Low-Class for centuries.

Shizuka was also a Low-Class Devil.

But she didn't seem to mind, seemingly content with her role as a maid.

It didn't matter anyway, as Roy didn't intend for her to fight.

Saya was also a Low-Class Devil, but she had her Gyarados, so she wasn't in a hurry to increase her strength.

The other girls were all Middle-Class Devils or higher, so there was no need to worry about them for now.

But he had to plan this training camp carefully.

The next day, they packed their belongings and boarded the train to the Underworld.

Sona joined them on the luxurious train.

"Sona, after visiting your family, would you like to join us for the training camp?" Roy asked.

"You're going to a training camp? Unfortunately, I've already been assigned a trial by my sister. I won't be able to join you," Sona replied with a sigh.

"That's a shame. But it's alright. We can train together another time," Roy said with a smile.

"Yes." Sona nodded.

"We're planning to visit Rias's family first, then mine. Of course, I'll visit your family as well."

Sona was delighted to hear that Roy would visit her family.

"I'll visit your home after my trial as well."

"It's settled then!"

Just then, an announcement came over the train's intercom.

"Attention passengers, we will be arriving at the Sitri territory shortly."

"See you later, Sona!"

"Goodbye, Sona!"

"See you..."

They bid farewell to Sona, who disembarked with her peerage.

The train continued its journey.

The girls chatted amongst themselves.

With some time to kill before reaching the Gremory territory, Roy took out his game console.

Asia sat beside him, cheering him on.

Koneko sat opposite him, challenging him to a match.

"Roy, where are we going for the training camp?" Kurome asked, munching on candy.

"It's a world filled with Spirits," Roy replied, his attention focused on his game with Koneko.

The girls were intrigued.

"Are they like Saeko-nee-san's Scyther?" Kurome asked curiously.

"If that's the case, I have to catch a strong one," Mine declared, puffing out her chest.

Saya had been showing off her Gyarados, which was incredibly powerful. Even Mine found it troublesome to deal with.

Although she pretended to be unimpressed, Mine was secretly envious.

"No, they're different from Familiars, although they're also called Spirits. And they can greatly enhance one's power," Roy explained, finally defeating Koneko.

Koneko's eyes lit up.

"Roy-senpai, one more round!" she challenged, eager for a rematch.

"Alright, one more round."

Roy accepted her challenge.

"What kind of training is it? I'm so excited," Kiyome Abe said, looking out the window with anticipation.

Soon, another announcement came over the intercom.

"Attention passengers, we will be arriving at the Gremory territory shortly."

"Finally," Rias said, stretching. "Everyone, gather your things. We're getting off."

"Wow! It's so big!" Asia exclaimed, looking out the window at the vast Gremory territory.

The land was neatly divided into different sections, resembling a patchwork of fields.

It was a beautiful sight.

"This is the Gremory territory? It's so beautiful!" Irina gushed.

"It is quite impressive. The Lucifuge territory pales in comparison," Roy commented.

He was telling the truth. If the Gremory territory was the size of a city, then the Lucifuge territory was a district.

Of course, he wasn't including the uninhabited areas.

The Underworld was vast, and the Devil population was relatively small.

Rias chuckled, hearing Roy's comment. "I believe with Roy around, our clan will become even more prosperous."

"Yes, yes!" the girls agreed confidently.

"Hehe, of course. But to truly prosper, we'll need your help," Roy said with a wink, looking at the girls suggestively.

'' Rias wondered, blushing.

The other girls also blushed, understanding his implication.

Roy grinned, then led them off the train.

<><><>

They soon arrived at the Gremory family estate, a massive and luxurious castle.

"Is this Buchou's home?"

"It's amazing!"

Xenovia and Irina were awestruck.

The castle doors opened, and several maids emerged.

"Welcome back, Rias-sama, Roy-sama, and everyone," the head maid greeted them with a bow.

"Let's go inside," Rias said to Roy with a smile.

"Okay."

They entered the castle.

Rias led them towards the dining hall.

Servants and maids lined the long corridor, welcoming them.

"Rias-nee-sama, welcome back!" A young boy with red hair ran towards Rias and hugged her.

"I'm back, Milikas! You've grown so much!" Rias chuckled, patting the boy's head.

Roy looked at the child curiously. ' he wondered.

But Grayfia was his sister now. Where did this child come from?

"Rias, who's this?"

"He's my nephew," Rias explained.

"Come, say hello to everyone."

"Okay!" Milikas readily agreed and bowed politely. "I'm Milikas Gremory. Pleased to meet you all."

"He's so cute!"

"Hello, Milikas!"

"What an adorable little guy!"

...

They followed Rias and met her mother, Venelana Gremory.

Venelana was like a mature version of Rias with brown hair. She was incredibly beautiful.
