"What about the other Apollo Familia adventurers?" Roy asked after hearing Kisara's report.

"You mean Daphne and Cassandra?" Kisara smiled.

"That's right. Where are they now?"

"They're waiting outside. Come with me," Enju said, taking Roy's hand and leading him away.

They soon found Daphne and Cassandra.

"Roy-sama!" The two girls bowed respectfully.

"I see you're here. Have you considered my offer? Will you join my Familia?" Roy asked, getting straight to the point.

Daphne and Cassandra exchanged glances, then bowed again.

"We accept, Roy-sama."

"Are you sure? I won't force you, unlike Apollo," Roy said with a smile.

He remembered that both girls had been forced to join the Apollo Familia. They had no sense of belonging there.

Daphne Lauros was a Level 2 adventurer, serving as a commander in the Apollo Familia. She was quite talented.

Cassandra Illion was also a Level 2 adventurer, a healer who supported the front lines with her magic. And she possessed a unique ability: precognitive dreams.

She had foreseen the Apollo Familia's defeat in the War Game.

But no one had believed her.

Now, facing Roy's offer, they were—intrigued.

If he had forced them, they might have refused.

But he had given them a choice. And they saw Roy as a good God.

"We're certain, Roy-sama," Daphne and Cassandra said, bowing again.

"Welcome to the Roy Familia. By the way, you're familiar with the Apollo Familia, right? Come and help out." Roy, without further ado, led the slightly bewildered girls to the treasury.

Kisara and the others were still taking inventory.

Megumin and Yukari were useless at this task, so Kisara had been handling it alone. It was no wonder she hadn't finished yet.

"Kisara, I've brought some help." Roy arrived with Daphne and Cassandra.

"Roy, I think we should bring some people from home. I can't manage this alone," Kisara said, a hint of frustration in her voice.

Apollo's estate was vast. She couldn't possibly manage it alone.

"I know. Don't worry, I'll bring some reinforcements soon," Roy assured her.

"Alright." Kisara sighed in relief.

"Let them help you for now. I'm going to find some people."

Roy left Daphne and Cassandra with Kisara and left to return to the DxD world.

He needed to bring some of the Cursed Children over.

Meanwhile—

Orario was buzzing with excitement after the War Game.

No one had expected the Apollo Familia to be defeated so easily.

They had outnumbered the Roy Familia significantly.

Yet, the Roy Familia had crushed them—completely.

And they hadn't even been injured.

It was unbelievable.

After the War Game, adventurers and Gods alike were discussing the event.

This newly arrived God and his Familia—all newly registered adventurers—were incredibly powerful.

It didn't make sense.

And what excited everyone even more was that the Roy Familia wasn't just challenging the Apollo Familia.

They had also challenged the Loki Familia.

While no one had initially believed they could win, the adventurers were now having second thoughts.

The Roy Familia was incredibly strong.

While the Loki Familia was one of Orario's strongest, the Roy Familia's confidence was—unsettling.

Was it blind confidence? Or did they truly possess the strength to defeat the Loki Familia?

All of Orario was eager to find out.

——

At the Loki Familia's headquarters—

Loki paced anxiously.

While the Roy Familia had deliberately held back during the War Game against the Apollo Familia, their displayed strength was enough to make the Loki Familia wary.

Roy's confidence was unsettling. From the beginning, his target had been the Loki Familia.

While they were one of Orario's strongest, Loki couldn't shake off a sense of unease.

"Loki, stop pacing," Finn said.

"It's just the Apollo Familia. We could have easily defeated them as well," Tione added.

"That's right! We're one of Orario's strongest Familias! Aside from the Freya Familia, who can rival us?" Tione agreed.

"They're just newbie adventurers. There's no need to worry," Bete said casually, crossing his legs.

"Bete, shut up!" Gareth Landrock, a man with a thick beard, snapped.

Gareth, along with Finn and Riveria, was part of the Loki Familia's leadership.

He was a respected elder who cared for the younger members, his personality kind and gentle.

Like Finn, he often cleaned up after the younger members' messes.

But this time, he was truly angry. Bete's arrogance had started this whole mess.

And the Roy Familia was clearly not as weak as they appeared, yet Bete was still acting so carelessly. It was foolish.

Bete, chastised, grumbled but didn't argue.

"Bete, even I can't defend you this time. You were too reckless. The Roy Familia is not to be underestimated," Finn said.

"They're not newbie adventurers. They're incredibly strong. Especially that mage. She can use light magic without chanting. She's incredibly powerful," Riveria added.

Riveria was the vice-captain of the Loki Familia and Orario's strongest mage. Her assessment, as an elf royalty, carried weight.

Her words surprised the others.

"Are they really that strong? I thought they were...a joke," Lefiya said, confused. She remembered the mage acting strangely during the War Game.

"That's right! That crazy girl doesn't even act like a mage!"

"Using her staff to knock out a Level 2 adventurer? She's a berserker, just like everyone says."

Bete spoke up again.

"Idiot, don't you trust Riveria-onee-san?" Tione retorted.

No one argued with that.

Riveria was like a mother figure to the Familia. She wouldn't lie.

"Is the Roy Familia really that strong?" Lefiya asked, a hint of fear in her voice.

"Yes, they are. Their captain is incredibly powerful."

"Even You, Ais, think so...?"

They were surprised. Even Ais Wallenstein acknowledged their strength.

"Why is it so hard for you all to admit that someone else is strong?" Loki finally spoke.

Despite her usual playful and sometimes inappropriate behavior, she was perceptive.

Her words silenced them.

"We have to acknowledge that the Roy Familia is strong. But we're not weak either. The outcome of this War Game is still uncertain. So, get yourselves together!" Loki's words reignited their confidence.

"That's right! We're the Loki Familia!"

"No one can defeat us!"

"We'll win this War Game!"

"They're strong, but they're not our match!"

——

The Loki Familia members' spirits were lifted, and they began discussing their strategy.

Meanwhile—

Roy had returned to the DxD world.

He gathered a hundred of the Highest-level Cursed Children from the Konosuba world.

That was easy. Finding someone to manage them, however, was a problem.

There were still many Cursed Children in Dreamland, and most of Roy's harem members were busy with their own duties.

Few were available.

He had no choice but to—borrow Saya Takagi and Yuriko Takagi.

Yuriko had experience managing a household, and Saya was also familiar with such tasks.

They should be able to manage the Familia.

Roy, after—satisfying Saya and Yuriko, explained the situation.

They readily agreed, and so it was decided.
