Through Grayfia's transfer, the two were brought directly from Mount Sumeru back to Japan.
They appeared at the entrance of Kirigaya Castle in Saitama Prefecture.
Ding!
Fifth-Tier Luck extraction complete.
Congratulations to the Host for receiving the reward: Time Travel Card ×1.
Time Travel Card: Allows free travel to any point in time within two hundred years in the current world.
Maximum duration of stay: 24 hours.
Relative time flow fixed at 10 minutes.
The moment they returned, the reward related to Kuroka was instantly delivered into Hiro's awareness.
This thing...
It seemed like something that could produce unusual effects under very specific circumstances.
As that thought passed through his mind, Hiro turned to look at Grayfia beside him, confusion faintly surfacing on his face.
Before he could say anything, Grayfia spoke first, her tone calm and composed.
"According to Hiro-sama's habits, it is already lunchtime. Even if there are other urgent matters later, for your health, Grayfia believes you should eat regularly."
"I see."
Hiro's lips twitched as he nodded in realization.
There are so many things I could complain about that I don't even know where to start.
Setting aside when he actually ate breakfast and how much time had passed since he left, with his physique, worrying about something like missing a meal was completely unnecessary.
Clang.
Grayfia entered the bustling kitchen, where Midori Kirigaya and Yasuko Nanamiya were already busy preparing food.
Hiro sat down on the sofa and casually patted his chest.
"Nemesis, I know you don't need food to replenish energy, but since we're here anyway, do you want to come out and eat together?"
As soon as he finished speaking, black smoke drifted out from his chest.
It condensed beside him, forming into a girl in a black kimono with an unnaturally curved smile, seated on the sofa a short distance to his right.
What kind of taste does a human boy, once regarded as hope by that Gid fellow, have?
I'm curious.
And if I can't find a solution, even an eternal weapon like me will eventually be devoured by those things.
Before that happens, I might as well experience the other functions of this body.
That thought flashed through Nemesis's mind.
She felt a trace of gratitude toward the original designer for that "useless" function.
Otherwise, even if she wanted something to happen with Hiro right now, it would be impossible.
"Anyway, I'm bored," Nemesis said lightly. "I'll come out and keep you company. If you're interested, I wouldn't mind 'accompanying' you in another way either."
Her tone was openly flirtatious.
Hiro, who understood exactly what she meant, fell silent.
You're starting again, you veteran player.
"There's still some time before lunch is ready, right?"
Ignoring Nemesis's suggestive invitation, Hiro shifted his gaze to the top of her head.
The system's Destiny Plunder activated once more.
[Ding! Sixth-Tier Luck extraction requires 24 minutes. Start now?]
"Start."
A short while later-
[Ding!]
[Sixth-Tier Luck extraction complete.
Congratulations to the Host for receiving the reward: Sephira Crystal ×1.]
[Sephira Crystal: The core of a "Spirit" from the Date A Live world.
If the user's compatibility with the Sephira Crystal is poor, there is a risk of berserk behavior, loss of control, or self-destruction.
If the Sephira Crystal is placed in the "Neighboring World," it will take time to generate a Spirit with 100% compatibility.]
Sephira Crystal...
Images of Spirits like Kurumi Tokisaki, Tohka Yatogami, Miku Izayoi, Mayuri, and Mio Takamiya surfaced in Hiro's mind.
Almost reflexively, he asked, "System, which Spirit does this Sephira Crystal belong to?"
"..."
The system remained silent.
Tch.
Not even an answer to this.
Hiro glanced at the cuboid-shaped item icon, shook his head inwardly, and didn't dwell on it.
It was something meant for others anyway.
Whether it was useful to him-or how useful-didn't really matter.
That afternoon, Hiro and Grayfia traveled through several mythological factions.
Mount Olympus.
The Underworld.
The Netherworld.
Just as he expected, they didn't coincidentally run into Cao Cao or the others.
They left with anticipation.
They returned with disappointment.
"I'm back."
As the sun began to set, Rias and the others returned one after another.
Hiro's gaze settled on the quiet, white-haired l*li classmate standing at the end of the group.
He raised his right hand.
Dangling from it was a black, two-tailed cat.
"Koneko," Hiro said with a chuckle, "look what gift I brought back for you."
At the entrance, Koneko froze.
"Nya, meow, meow!!!"
Being held up in cat form and placed directly in front of her own sister, Kuroka naturally refused to cooperate.
She struggled, meowing in protest, then opened her mouth and tried to bite him viciously.
In the end, it turned into affectionate licking instead.
Almost half a day had passed since Kuroka was captured.
And she still hadn't learned her lesson.
Perhaps this was simply her nature.
"A two-tailed cat..."
"That's a Youkai, right?"
Rias and Akeno immediately noticed something strange about the cat in Hiro's hand, confusion filling their eyes.
They were aware of the incident involving Kuroka and Shirone.
Even so, they didn't immediately connect the dots, despite the two tails.
However, while Rias and Akeno failed to recognize Kuroka's identity, Koneko did not.
As a Nekomata.
And as Kuroka's younger sister.
The shock in her eyes was impossible to hide.
"Kuroka Onee-sama!"
Why is Kuroka Onee-sama in Hiro-kun's hands?
And in her true form?
Or could it be that Kuroka Onee-sama and Hiro-kun already-
The thought surfaced before Koneko could stop it.
Her already trembling gaze grew even more complicated.
Me and Kuroka Onee-sama...
Another pair of sisters.
Hiro-kun's tastes are really...
