Underworld
Capital City, Lilith
A bluish ice-cold magic circle suddenly lit up, and a slightly disheveled Serafall appeared within the Devil King's Conference Room.
Sirzechs paused mid-sip from his glass of water, then set it down, raising an eyebrow. "That was quick. You already dealt with it?"
Waving her hand casually, Serafall looked a little distracted as she muttered, "By the time I got there, Kokabiel was already dead."
"Dead?"
Sirzechs' expression turned serious.
No matter what, Kokabiel was still a key figure among the Fallen Angels.
Sure, he was the one who started the whole mess... but dying within devil territory? That's no small matter.
"It wasn't Rias and her group who took him down, right?" Sirzechs asked with certainty.
He knew full well what level his little sister and her group were at.
After Serafall explained the whole situation, Sirzechs rested his chin on his hand. "Lynn Valifer... huh."
A survivor from the House of Valifer...
Sirzechs couldn't help but marvel. "As expected from a descendant of that man... So young, yet already at Maou-level strength."
Maybe it's...That man himself?
Serafall hesitated for a moment, wanting to say it... but in the end, she sighed and kept it to herself.
After all... it was just a guess on her part.
"Still..."
Sirzechs frowned, starting to worry. "After this incident, there's no way we can keep Lynn's identity under wraps anymore, huh?"
A Fallen Angel cadre had been killed, after all. It was bound to stir things up.
If anyone with enough resources wanted to dig around, they'd easily find out about what happened in Kuoh Town.
"Yeah..." Serafall blinked and nodded. "It's probably not a big deal for us devils, but the Fallen Angels? They're definitely going to investigate."
"A devil who can wield the power of light... that's not exactly subtle," Sirzechs said, feeling a headache coming on.
The House of Valifer had been famous in the past specifically because they produced devils capable of using light-based powers.
Lynn's use of light magic would naturally lead people to connect the dots.
And Lynn's name itself would probably trigger some people.
"But whatever," Serafall waved it off nonchalantly. "He's already Maou-level. Even if people know he's from Valifer, so what?"
"With that light-based power in his arsenal, anyone trying to pick a fight might just end up biting off more than they can chew."

Lynn's Apartment.
"Koneko, you know how the process works, right?"
Koneko blushed faintly and gave a soft "Mm" in response.
Seeing that, Lynn summoned his Devil's Piece and said, "Alright, let's get started."
Taking a few deep breaths, Koneko placed her trembling hands on her clothes, her movements slow and shy.
Seeing this, Kuroka's golden eyes flashed mischievously, a sly grin appearing on her lips like she was scheming something.
Then—
Whoosh!
Kuroka suddenly grabbed Koneko's clothes and yanked them all off in one go!
"Eh?!"
Koneko let out a startled cry, feeling the sudden chill on her body.
"Onee-chan!"
Flushed red, Koneko quickly crouched down, hugging herself as she glared at Kuroka.
Kuroka, utterly unfazed, even picked up Koneko's bra.
"Oh ho~ still just a little kid down here, huh? So small~"
She waved it teasingly in front of Koneko, clearly enjoying herself.
Embarrassed and fuming, Koneko shot a glance at Kuroka's big white melons and gritted her teeth. "I-I'm just a late bloomer!"
And just like that, the two started bickering.
Lynn watched their antics for a bit, then simply pressed the Devil Piece against Koneko's soft back.
Koneko's eyes widened slightly.
This feeling...
Different from when Rias did it.
At the same time, a familiar voice rang out in Lynn's mind.
[Ding! You have gained a new Familia member: "Tojo Koneko"!]
[Ding! Your Familia member "Tojo Koneko" has reincarnated as a Special-Type Devil!]
Lynn narrowed his eyes as Koneko's status information appeared before him.

"Nekoshou Devil... huh."
Then seeing Koneko's first Skill [Yokai-Sage Resonance], Lynn's eyes showed a flicker of surprise.
Same skill as Kuroka, huh...
He copied Koneko's blessing info and handed it to her, giving the usual explanation about its meaning.
"So that's how it is..."
Holding the info sheet, Koneko's eyes lit up with realization.
So this was the secret of Lynn-senpai's Familia!
No wonder...
"Is that why Saeko-senpai is so strong too?"
"That's right, nya~!"
Kuroka suddenly hugged Koneko from behind, giving her a headpat as she purred, "Now you know why I had to drag you over here, huh?"
"If you slack off even a little, you'll be left way behind, nya~!"
"And let me tell you—being one of Master's Familia members isn't just about being strong~"
With a mysterious look, Kuroka began hyping up Lynn's greatness to Koneko.
Meanwhile, Lynn casually pulled out a set of Devil's Pieces that Rias had given him before. Picking one up, he examined it closely.
Previously, he hadn't noticed anything unusual.
But now…
A faint, familiar sensation seemed to linger around the Devil's Piece.
Lynn's crimson eyes flickered.
What… is this feeling?
As he fell into thought, Kuroka suddenly crawled into his arms.
Arching her back seductively, swaying her tail, occasionally brushing it against Lynn's ear—
Half-lying beside him, her golden eyes shimmered with playful seduction as she brought her slightly clawed finger to her lips, whispering softly:
"Master~ since that dog isn't around… wanna make a little devil with Kuroka tonight~?"
Her body twisted and rubbed against him even harder. She could feel the reaction immediately — Lynn's eyes darkened, his gaze sharpening.
"We will make at least ten tonight…" Lynn's voice dropped dangerously, "or you're not leaving my bed."
Kuroka's smile froze.
Uh-oh.
She might've gone too far playing around…
Before she could react, Lynn effortlessly lifted her over his shoulder.
"W-Wait! Nya—!"
BANG!
The bedroom door was kicked open violently, and Lynn directly tossed Kuroka onto the big bed!
Kuroka quickly tried to rush back, but...
Lynn's gaze was dark and burning. "Right now... I'm really pissed."
"Nyaaahh~~~~!!"
— — —
Outside the living room
Hearing her sister's miserable cat-like cries from the bedroom, Koneko sat there completely frozen, not even daring to breathe.
S-So scary...
Is Nee-sama gonna break or something?
— — —
The Next Day
Suddenly—Inside the bedroom
Kuroka poked her head out, clawing pitifully at the floor.
She was completely naked, tears pooling in her eyes, with something white shamefully leaking from her bottom as she desperately tried to crawl outside.
SLAP!
A hand suddenly grabbed her ankle, and her almost-escaped body was once again dragged mercilessly back inside.
Screeeeech!
Kuroka's cat paws screeched against the floor, leaving claw marks as she was dragged backwards.
"Shirone... help... nyahhh~~~!!"
Koneko shivered violently and immediately shrank into the sofa, pretending she saw and heard nothing.
— — —
Time passed~~~
Even after who knows how long, the noises from the bedroom hadn't stopped.
Koneko's thighs subconsciously began rubbing together, her breathing growing heavier, eyes becoming hazy.
BUZZZ!
Suddenly.
A flash of golden light shot out from the bedroom, hitting Koneko directly, instantly snapping her out of it.
Koneko: "....."
Listening to the nonstop cat-like cries, she puffed up her cheeks, grumbling, "Did Nee-sama... install surveillance magic on me or something?"
— — —
The next day
Kuroka lay there, completely satisfied, her belly visibly swollen.
She shifted slightly, accidentally pressing down on her side, immediately feeling like something was about to come out.
Kuroka bit her lip and instinctively clenched her thighs together.
"No way... this is my reward from all that effort last night, nyah~!!"
— — —
For the next few days
Lynn practically hadn't slept at all. His original plan to visit the past Underworld had to be temporarily shelved.
Tsk...
All Kuroka's fault for draining him dry!
— — —
At the borders of the Underworld, in the Old Satan Faction's base.
Shalba Beelzebub clenched the intel in his hand, sent from the capital, Lilith, and from the spies within the Fallen Angels' ranks, his expression constantly shifting.
"Light Power?"
"A devil??"
CRACK!
The parchment in his hand was instantly crushed into powder!
Every word on that intel felt like it was testing his nerves!
Inevitably, he thought of that traitor clan, Valifer.
"Traitors... deserve nothing but death!!"
— — —
At Shuchiin Academy's Supernatural Research Club
Lynn was casually petting Ryougetsu Senhime's puppy head, only to get a glare in return.
Damn it!
That sneaky cat actually succeeded in stealing him!
She was seething inside, but there was nothing she could do. The lingering scent of that damn cat still lingered in her nose, making her even more annoyed.
KNOCK KNOCK!
Suddenly.
The door to the clubroom was knocked on.
A trace of surprise flashed through Lynn's eyes. "Come in."
CREAK.
The door was pulled open from the outside.
A completely unexpected person appeared before him.
She was petite, holding a cane, her wavy blond hair covered by a beret, radiating a youthful, girlish vibe.
"Iwanaga Kotoko?"
"Good day~"
Kotoko gave a graceful curtsy, smiling brightly. "Never thought a big shot devil like you would still remember me. Truly an honor."
Lynn rested his chin on his hand, smirking. "What, here to hire a devil for a job?"
"No. No!"
Kotoko waved her hands frantically. She still vividly remembered Isayama Yomi's experience with him.
She even messaged Yomi later, trying to dig for info.
But Yomi kept her mouth shut tight, simply saying she was already Lynn-sama's woman and wouldn't leak anything.
Helpless, Kotoko could only give up.
Still...
Since everyone was hanging around Shuchiin Academy, Kotoko had also been quietly gathering intel on Lynn and the Supernatural Research Club.
"I'm here to commission the Supernatural Research Club with a request!"
Lynn raised an eyebrow, eyes full of amusement.
She really found a loophole to approach him.
But Lynn didn't mind.
"Alright, let's hear it."
Seeing Lynn agree, Kotoko let out a breath of relief.
For a devil, he was actually pretty easy to talk to.
She steadied herself, her eyes sweeping across the clubroom, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Wasn't this supposed to be a harem club?
Where were all the beautiful girls?
Kotoko was a little puzzled, but she had no intention of prying into other people's secrets.
Though...
Kotoko didn't immediately bring up the details of her commission. Instead, she smiled mischievously. "Lynn-sama sure is popular~"
Lynn raised a brow. "Me being popular... isn't that just natural?"
Kotoko: "...."
Wow... talk about confidence.
But then again...
Staring at Lynn's ridiculously handsome face, Kotoko sighed inwardly.
Can't even argue with that...
If it weren't for him being a devil, she probably would've fallen for him at first sight back then.
Kotoko felt a little regret, then casually warned, "By the way, on my way here, I saw two blonde gals loitering around near the Supernatural Research Club."
She paused, then said with a weird look, "Don't tell me... Lynn-sama's gotten himself targeted by some clingy girls?"
Clingy girls?
Lynn chuckled and shook his head. "Just a couple of ordinary girls."
Of course, Lynn had noticed them long ago.
It's just that since they didn't seem to be up to anything, he didn't bother paying them any attention.
"I see..."
Judging from Lynn's reaction, Kotoko figured this devil probably already knew everything there was to know about those girls.
Seeing that, she wisely decided not to butt in any further.
Time to get down to business.
Her expression grew serious as she spoke.
"Tell me, Lord Lynn..."
"Have you ever heard of..."
"The Hell Link?"
