Sensing Koneko's fear, I tightened my embrace and reassured her, "Koneko-chan, the truth isn't what you saw back then. Your sister, Kuroka, didn't kill those people because she lost control of her Nekoshou powers. She did it to protect you." "What? My sister clearly..." "At the time, Your master was conducting an experiment on artificial Super Devils, using extreme methods to awaken the potential of his servants. and he was even going to do it to you, Koneko-chan." "So, to protect you from suffering the same fate as the others, your sister, Kuroka, killed them and fled, fighting off everyone who tried to pursue her. That's why she was labeled an SS-class Stray Devil." "After she escaped, the House of Nabarius's secret experiment was discovered by the higher-ups of the Underworld and was shut down and covered up." "So, your sister didn't abandon you. She had no choice. You were too young back then. If you had been labeled a stray devil, you might have been killed." "Kuroka-oneechan!!" Hearing my words, Koneko was deeply shaken, tears welling up in her eyes. "But... Kyoya-senpai, how do you know about me and my sister?" "Koneko-chan, let's just say I know a lot of things. Now that you know the truth, you don't have to be afraid of your Nekoshou powers anymore," I said, gently encouraging her. "I understand, Kyoya-senpai!" Koneko wiped away her tears and smiled at me. She suddenly started squirming in my arms, making me feel a surge of warmth. which—caused a certain reaction... "K-Kyoya-senpai, your..." Suddenly, feeling something pressing against her, Koneko blushed and said hesitantly. "That's a normal reaction, you know? After all, Koneko-chan is so cute!" I chuckled. "Kyoya-senpai, I can..." "Stop right there. I know what you're going to say, Koneko-chan. But you're still too young! I won't allow it." I interrupted Koneko before she could finish. I knew that if Koneko got pregnant at her age, it could be fatal for both her and the baby. I wouldn't let that happen. "Okay..." Hearing my words, Koneko was a little disappointed, but she also knew that I was worried about her. Thinking about this, Koneko felt a warmth in her heart. And so, the two of us embraced quietly. Time passed quickly, and soon it was nightfall. .... "Kyoya-senpai, it's getting late. I should go back." Seeing that Koneko was about to leave, I kissed her again. After a moment, we separated. "Koneko-chan, from now on, you're completely mine," Hearing my words, Koneko blushed faintly. "I know." 'Sorry, Rias-buchou! I couldn't help myself!' Koneko thought to herself as she left my room. After Koneko left, the system notified me that the original task related to Koneko had been completed. [Ding! Task completed! Reward: x1 Red Grade gift bag!] Including the rewards from Xenovia and Irina, I now had three unopened rewards. "System, open them all!" [Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [One copy of Mikoto Misaka's Photo Album], [Gate of Babylon], [Forbidden Jutsu: Dead Demon Consuming Seal].] "Misaka's Photo Album! Pfft! I'm not that kind of person! I read the classics!" I scoffed, pretending to be disgusted. 'I would never look at such indecent material!' 'What a joke. I have pride and dignity!' 'This system underestimates me.' Despite my words—my mind and body were very cooperative as I flipped through the album, becoming completely engrossed in it. After a while, I put it away—feeling satisfied. Then I looked at the second reward. "Hmm... It's Gilgamesh's [Gate of Babylon]." The [Gate of Babylon - Treasure of the King]—was Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm, a key-shaped sword that connected to the Golden Capital. It allowed the user to freely access the treasures within. The more 'wealth' the user had, the more powerful the Noble Phantasm became. In battle, Gilgamesh would launch all the prototypes of Noble Phantasms from the [Gate of Babylon] like bullets. And after being used, the launched Noble Phantasms would automatically return to Gilgamesh's treasury, effectively giving him an unlimited supply of weapons. However, I seemed to have already 'borrowed' from Gilgamesh once before—I wonder what he'd do if I ever ended up in the Type-Moon universe. I couldn't help but look forward to his reaction. Then, my eyes fell on the last reward, and my face turned grim. "...." [Dead Demon Consuming Seal] was a forbidden jutsu from the Naruto world. Once this technique was used, the caster would make a contract with the Shinigami – selling their soul to the Shinigami. This meant that after consuming the target's soul, the caster's soul would also be consumed by the Shinigami. Then, the caster's and the enemy's souls would forever hate and fight each other in the Shinigami's stomach. "Tch, useless reward!" Then, I started to research the—[Gate of Babylon]. .... Early the next morning, after finishing breakfast, Sona and the other Student Council girls dragged me to an isolated training ground, saying they wanted me to train them too! It seemed that Rias and Akeno's current power had put a lot of pressure on them. I pondered for a moment, then explained what I had done with Rias and the others in detail. .... After listening to my explanation, Sona was first shocked, then resentful. "There was such a powerful training tool! But now it's gone? So What are we supposed to do? I paused, then smiled. "Don't worry, I have a solution." Then, to their surprise, I cut my finger and let the blood drip into a bottle I had prepared beforehand. Seeing my actions, Sona, Tsubaki, and the others were confused. "Kyoya, what are you doing?" "Heh, I now have the True Dragon Bloodline. My blood can be very helpful to you," I smiled mysteriously, then continued, "If you drink my blood, you'll also gain the Dragon attribute, which will enhance your power, magic, and overall potential." "....." "What?!" Sona and the others were shocked. Was there really such a magical thing? "Would you like to try it? At first, there might be a little pain, but after you succeed, not only will your strength increase, but your potential will also improve." Looking at the bottle filled with my blood, and recalling Rias's current power, Sona took a deep breath and was the first to speak.
