Roy patted Yuriko's head gently, not scolding her.
Yuriko, initially relieved thinking she'd been let off the hook, now felt apprehensive.
"What is it? What's the punishment?"
"You'll find out when we get back," Roy whispered in her ear.
Yuriko instantly understood the implied punishment. Instead of fear, a sense of anticipation bloomed within her.
"Alright, let's head back," Roy said, turning to Asia.
"Okay!" Asia nodded with a smile.
The group returned home. Fortunately, the church wasn't far from the castle.
Roy had recently renovated the castle. Its old-fashioned decor hadn't suited his or the girls' modern tastes.
He'd hired a renowned Underworld renovation team, and within days, the castle had been transformed, blending modern aesthetics with its original grandeur. The changes had made the castle feel much more like a home.
Leading everyone to the living room, Roy explained Asia's situation.
The girls had already become acquainted with Asia on the way back. By the time they reached the castle, Asia had practically become one of them.
Her dream had always been to have many friends, and now, that dream had effortlessly come true. She was deeply touched.
"So, Asia, would you like to become my servant?" Roy asked, smiling.
Asia gazed at Roy, remembering their first encounter and how he had rescued her from despair. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"I would!" she answered resolutely.
Roy, pleased with her response, immediately began the reincarnation ritual.
"By my name, Roy Lucifuge, I command you, Asia Argento, to become my servant, reborn as my [Bishop]!"
A [Bishop] piece merged with Asia. Bathed in a blue light, the reincarnation ritual was complete. Asia was now Roy's devil servant.
"Congratulations, Asia!"
"Asia-chan is so cute!"
"Asia-neesan, we're so glad you're finally with us!"
...
Shizuka and the others welcomed Asia warmly. They were all charmed by her sweet nature.
Seeing their enthusiastic welcome, Asia's eyes teared up again. She instinctively made the sign of the cross.
"Thank you, everyone. This must be a blessing from the Lord!"
"Ouch!" The moment she finished her prayer, a sharp pain shot through her head.
"Huh? Asia, what's wrong?"
"Asia-neesan, are you okay?"
...
The girls looked at her with concern.
Roy, however, couldn't help but chuckle.
"Asia, you're a devil now! Of course, praying to God will cause you a headache!" He didn't mind her praying. After all, Asia had grown up in the Church. Prayer was ingrained in her; it would take time for her to adjust.
"Oh! This must be a trial from the Lord!"
"Ouch!" Asia instinctively prayed again and was immediately struck by another headache.
The girls giggled.
That evening, to celebrate Asia's arrival, Shizuka, Saeko, and the others prepared a lavish dinner.
Asia officially became a part of their family.
When it was time for bed, Asia was shown to her own room. However, seeing Yuriko sneak into Roy's room, curiosity got the better of her, and she followed.
She didn't emerge until the next morning.
Early the next day, a slightly sore Asia used Twilight Healing on herself before getting up to prepare breakfast. She found Shizuka already awake in the kitchen.
Together, they started preparing breakfast.
"Roy-san, wake up! Breakfast is ready!" Asia called out, peering over Roy as he slept, a cheerful smile on her face.
"Asia?" Roy, still drowsy, gave her a good morning kiss before following her to the dining room.
"Asia, why don't you come to school with us today?" Roy suggested during breakfast.
"Eh? Really...?" Asia blushed, readily agreeing. The thought of going to school and making new friends filled her with excitement.
Asia was at the perfect age for school, and her desire for companionship made the decision easy for Roy.
Once again, they arrived at the student council room.
"Sona-senpai, I need to ask for your help again," Roy said, grinning at Sona before pulling Asia forward.
"This is my new servant, Asia Argento. Asia, this is the student council president, Sona-kaichou." He introduced them to each other.
"Sona-kaichou," Asia greeted respectfully.
"Hello. Tsubaki, please take Asia and handle her enrollment," Sona instructed, then turned back to Roy, her expression serious. "About our previous conversation, have you...?"
She didn't finish her sentence, but Roy understood her meaning. Despite her composed demeanor, Sona was clearly nervous.
Roy had tricked her into agreeing to become his fiancée if he could defeat her.
