Chapter 32

“Let’s go, Raynare. We’re heading back,” Shoyo said, extending his hand to her.

“M-My Lord… could you please call me Amano Yuuma?” she asked with slightly flushed cheeks. Her gaze reflected more than devotion, it held love and deep yearning.

“Hmm? Why?” Shoyo asked as he activated the power of the Fifth Avatar.

“Because... because that’s the name I used when I first met Master...” she replied shyly.

And with those parting words, the two vanished into the dimensional gap.

Back in Shoyo’s small villa, two figures appeared instantly.

“From now on, your task is to be a maid. Understand?” Shoyo said, looking at Amano Yuuma, who gazed at him with infatuated eyes. He found it a little unsettling. The identity shift had been abrupt, and he wasn’t used to someone having such blind faith in him. “By the way, you can call me ‘Master’ or ‘Shoyo-sama.’ ‘My Lord’ just sounds... fake. Like something a con artist would say.”


“Yes… Master,” Amano Yuuma replied with a smile, licking her hand.

“Don’t just stand there staring. Go clean or cook something.”

Her intense gaze made Shoyo feel uncomfortable. He had always lived alone, only hiring a housekeeper on weekends. This was a new experience.

“As you wish~~” she purred again, licking her hand once more. The innocent façade she had worn before was gone, replaced by something seductive and dangerous. She could still switch back to her sweet, innocent act at any moment… but right now, she was licking the hand that had touched Shoyo earlier. This was no longer faith. It was borderline fetishistic.

“Alright! Let the pleasant study session begin!” Free of her intense gaze, Shoyo returned to his studies. He took out Ajuka’s crystal ball and resumed learning. The advanced material was much more difficult than the basics.

“Compatibility and coordination of Senjutsu and Onmyōdō...

Summary of Norse magic and Elven magic…
Preparation and application of multi-layered sealing formations…

Comprehensive understanding of magical characteristics…

Soul-type Sacred Gear transfer protocols…”



Learning gave him genuine joy. Not money, not status, but the power to protect everything he held dear.

“He even gave me this…” Shoyo murmured as he read a new topic: The potential of synchronizing demonic and holy powers.

“Isn’t he worried I might figure out that the God of the Bible is already dead?”

While Shoyo studied, Amano Yuuma observed him with a worshipful gaze.

“Ahhh~ So holy… so wise… so charming and intellectual. This is my Lord~!”



All the passion and faith she once held for Azazel had now been redirected entirely toward Shoyo.

“Right! According to my Lord’s will, I must become a perfect maid!”



She suddenly remembered her purpose. Serving Shoyo was now the sole meaning of her existence. Without hesitation, she pulled out her phone.

Despite being a fallen angel, she made full use of human-world tech. One article caught her eye:

‘The Method of Raising a Perfect Maid’



“Perfect! This is it!” she exclaimed. She wasn’t a perfect maid yet, but she would become one. That was her goal now.

Meanwhile, immersed in his studies, Shoyo remained unaware of her enthusiasm. Time flew by quickly, until something interrupted him.

“RUMBLE~~”

A dragonic aura surged nearby!

“This aura... it’s the Red Dragon Emperor!” Shoyo narrowed his eyes. “Something’s happened to Issei Hyoudou?”

[Krishna!]



Shoyo activated the Eighth Avatar, expanding his senses to their maximum range to assess the situation.

“…Could this be Issei’s destined turning point?” he muttered. “Still so unlucky, huh?”

“Yuuma, I’m heading out. Stay here,” Shoyo said casually. Without waiting for her response, he stepped forward and vanished.

“I will, my Lord~~” Amano Yuuma said, kneeling on one knee, even though he was already gone.

Utilizing the power of Vamana the Dwarf, Shoyo instantly arrived at Hyoudou Issei’s house.

“Sigh…” he muttered, seeing Issei lying in a pool of blood. “I even took his place on the date, and yet… fate still caught up.”

Looking at his condition, even Rias’s Evil Pieces probably couldn’t save him. Technically, Issei was already dead. The Red Dragon Emperor was starting to detach from his body, explaining the leaking draconic aura.

“You should return,” Shoyo said calmly to the Red Dragon Emperor.

“Huh? Are you joking, kid?” the dragon’s emerald eyes gleamed with disdain. “No healing magic can save him now, unless you have a Phoenix Tear lying around. And frankly, I’m tired of this weak host. Against the White One, he’d lose for sure. If he ever awakened properly, I’d fulfill my duty, sure… but this body’s done for.”

“I said, return,” Shoyo repeated, unmoved.

“You got a problem, kid? I’m leav, ”

Suddenly, he froze.

A silver phantom appeared behind Shoyo.

[Kurma the World Turtle Dragon form!]



Though Shoyo couldn’t use Kurma’s full power, its aura was more than enough.

“Wh-What is that phantom!?” The Red Dragon Emperor panicked. “That… that’s one of the phantoms from that day in this town!”

The dragon’s soul trembled. This wasn’t just a high-tier threat, it was a high-dimensional divine dragon towering over his very existence.

“Guh…” The Red Dragon Emperor reluctantly retreated into Issei’s body, obeying Shoyo out of pure terror.

Shoyo’s reason for pulling out Kurma’s aura so abruptly was simple: he had just triggered a high-tier system notification.

[Ding!]
[Congratulations! Story Sign-In Triggered!]
Sign-In Level: Diamond
Sign-In Story: The Union of the Red and White Dragons
Condition: Reconciliation and union between the Red and White Dragon Emperor hosts
Time Limit: 1 year



Shoyo had seen the notification just as he arrived and realized that forcing the Red Dragon back into Issei was the correct move to secure the reward.
