"Occult Research Club?" Roy mused. "It's probably about that incident yesterday at the church, with the Stray Priest and the Fallen Angel..."

Rias was, after all, responsible for the safety of Kuoh Town. It was only natural she'd learn about the church incident.

"Saya, Asia, why don't you two head over to Saeko's place?" Roy said to the girls beside him. "I'll go to the Occult Research Club first."

"Yes!" Asia replied with a sweet smile.

"Hmph!" Saya let out a haughty little snort, her displeasure evident. She knew Rias was the one who had invited Roy. 

Even Saya had to admit, Rias was an elegant young woman, a true 'ojou-sama'. But that didn't make Saya any less jealous.

"Be a good girl and go find Saeko, Saya," Roy said, gently patting her head and whispering in her ear. "I'll have a reward for you tonight." He had a soft spot for Saya's tsundere act, especially when he was the one teasing her.

"I-I don't need a reward!" Saya retorted, her face flushing crimson.

"Hmm..." Asia, observing Saya getting her head patted, gazed at Roy with wide, hopeful eyes.

Roy, of course, couldn't let Asia down. He gave her head a gentle pat as well. Asia purred like a contented kitten, her eyes closing in bliss.

"Alright, let's go!" Roy said, turning to Koneko.

Koneko, however, was staring intently at Asia's head being stroked.

Roy chuckled. "Does Koneko-chan want some head pats too?"

A faint blush crept onto Koneko's usually stoic face. "Roy-senpai, you pervert!" she mumbled, turning on her heel and walking away.

Roy shrugged at Asia and Saya, a playful grin on his face, then followed after Koneko.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the Occult Research Club.

"Roy-kun, you're quite the elusive one, aren't you?" Rias greeted him with a hint of playful reproach in her voice. 

Ever since their encounter during the Stray Devil incident, she had invited him to the club, but he hadn't shown up even once.

"Ahaha, sorry about that! Things have been pretty hectic lately," Roy said with a sheepish grin. He had, in fact, completely forgotten about the invitation.

"Ara ara, could it be that Roy-kun was preoccupied with... *ahem*... certain activities with his peerage?" Akeno teased, approaching them with a tray of tea and a sly smile.

"Cough, of course not!" Roy denied it smoothly. Though Akeno wasn't entirely off the mark, he wasn't about to admit to anything.

"Aside from wanting you to visit, Roy-kun, we also wanted to ask about the incident at the church," Rias said, her expression turning serious.

'Here it comes,' Roy thought. He had anticipated this. He wasn't going to try to hide it. "Yes, that was me," he admitted, taking a sip of his tea. 

"Those Stray Priests and the Fallen Angel were targeting my servants. I couldn't just let that slide."

Rias sighed. "Roy-kun, you really are a handful, aren't you?"

"Hehe, I think Roy-kun did the right thing," Akeno chimed in. "It must be quite an honor to be part of his peerage."

"Indeed it is," Roy said with a wink. "So, Akeno-senpai, how about switching sides? My peerage is always open to talented individuals like yourself."

"Well now," Akeno purred, a finger tracing her cheek. "That's certainly something to consider."

"You two!" Rias exclaimed, feigning annoyance. "Flirting with my Queen right in front of me? I might get jealous!"

Roy and Akeno exchanged a mischievous glance. This was all in good fun, of course. They enjoyed teasing Rias.

"Ara ara, looks like Rias is getting riled up."

"Ahem, alright, alright, we'll behave," Roy said with a chuckle.

Rias, seeing their amusement, simply shook her head. 

"The Gremory and Sitri clans have taken care of the incident at the church. You don't need to worry about any repercussions from the Fallen Angels."

Now that Rias had brought up a serious matter, Roy's playful demeanor subsided. "Thank you," he said sincerely.

"Don't mention it," Rias replied. "The Fallen Angels were clearly in the wrong."

Roy knew that. Even if he had been at fault, his sister's influence would have protected him from any serious consequences.

After chatting with Rias and Akeno for a while longer, Roy took his leave.

He found Saeko and the others, and they returned home together.

...

Later that evening, Roy gathered everyone in the conference room.

"Eh? Roy-chan, is something going on?" Shizuka asked, curiosity in her voice.

"Yes, I've gathered you all here because there's something important I need to discuss," Roy replied, his expression serious.

The girls exchanged glances, their attention focused on Roy.

"Oh, and Rika," Roy said, pulling out a black pistol and a circular sword hilt. "This is for you."

Rika's eyes widened as she took the items. She recognized them from her encounter with the Stray Priest.

Freed Sellzen had wielded a Light Gun and a Light Sword. The Light Gun was a ranged weapon, while the Light Sword was used for close combat. 

He had used them in perfect harmony, making him a formidable opponent.
