DxD: Scion of Lucifuge

However, the difference in their numbers was too great. Roy's barrage was quickly overwhelmed.

The magic bullets exploded around him.

Tohru and Kanna watched with worry.

But their concern was unnecessary. Lucoa's magic bullets weren't very powerful. They only managed to ruffle Roy's clothes a bit.

Perhaps she was taking the opportunity to get back at him for last night's events.

But this also caused Tohru and Kanna to switch sides.

Tohru, the protective dragon maid, couldn't stand seeing Roy being bullied and joined his side.

Kanna followed suit.

The three of them now faced Lucoa.

The Bullet Hell battle resumed.

However, even three against one, they were still no match for Lucoa.

In the end, they lost.

"Ah, that was fun!" Lucoa said with a satisfied stretch.

Beings of their level rarely fought seriously. Lucoa couldn't remember the last time she had gone all out.

But this Bullet Hell game allowed her to unleash her full power.

She had to precisely control each magic bullet, which was challenging when the number of projectiles was so vast.

Compared to the relaxed Lucoa, Roy, Tohru, and Kanna were exhausted.

"Hmph! We won't lose to you next time!"

"That's right, I won't lose either!"

Tohru and Kanna's eyes burned with competitive fire.

Roy snapped his fingers, and their appearances were instantly restored.

"Lucoa-san, you're truly powerful," Roy said with admiration.

"You can just call me Lucoa, Roy," Lucoa replied with a smile.

"Eh?!" Tohru puffed out her cheeks, a bit jealous.

Roy chuckled and patted her head. "Well then, let's head back. If you want to play more, we can continue tomorrow."

Kanna's magic power was completely depleted.

And Tohru and Roy had also consumed a significant amount of magic. They weren't as monstrous as Lucoa, who seemed completely unfazed by the intense battle.

<><><><>

Within a few days, Lucoa had fully integrated into their household.

Although she was quite lazy, often napping on the sofa, and had a habit of eavesdropping on Roy and Tohru at night, she was a welcome addition to their little family.

One day, they decided to stay home instead of playing Bullet Hell.

Fafnir was coming over.

Roy was watching TV when he noticed Kanna staring out the window from the balcony.

"Kanna, what are you looking at?" he asked, walking over.

He looked down and saw a group of kindergarten children playing.

It seemed Kanna was starting to feel lonely without friends her own age.

Even Tohru had friends.

Although Roy spent time with them every day, Kanna still wanted to play with other children.

This was a bit troublesome. Roy wanted to take Kanna with him when he left.

If he let her go to school, she might form attachments and refuse to leave.

And even if she agreed to leave, her friends would be sad.

Roy suddenly had an idea.

"Kanna, do you want to make a friend?" he asked.

"Yes!" Kanna nodded eagerly.

"Then let me introduce you to a friend," Roy said, patting her head.

"Okay!" Kanna looked at him with anticipation.

"Look..."

Roy held out his hand, and the spirit seal on his arm glowed.

A little girl materialized from the light.

"Roy, you haven't summoned me in a long time," Est said with a pout, expressing her displeasure.

"It hasn't been that long, has it?" Roy asked, raising an eyebrow.

It had been less than a month since he arrived in this world.

"Master, I'm angry!" Est declared, turning away.

"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to a feast. How about that?"

"Okay, I forgive you."

Est was easily appeased by the promise of food.

'She's so easy to please,' Roy thought with a chuckle.

"Roy, who's this?" Tohru asked curiously, approaching them.

Lucoa, who had been napping on the sofa, also woke up and looked at Est with interest.

"This is my contracted spirit, Est," Roy introduced her.

He then introduced Tohru, Kanna, and Lucoa to Est.

"Kanna, this is the friend I wanted you to meet," Roy said.

Est and Kanna were both little girls, though Est seemed a bit older.

But in terms of actual age, Kanna was older.

She was over fourteen thousand years old, while Est was only a few thousand.

"I don't want to be friends with her," Est declared flatly.

She was a grown-up and didn't want to be friends with a child.

"But I want to be friends with you," Kanna pleaded, her eyes wide and innocent.

Kanna was quite the actress.

In the original story, she had easily won over the arrogant Riko Saikawa with her cuteness.

Est hesitated, seeing Kanna's adorable expression.

She was a kind child at heart.

"Roy, where did you find such a spirit?" Tohru asked, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Lucoa also looked at him curiously.

"I met Est in a world of spirits," Roy explained.

"A World of Spirits?"

"It's another world. Didn't I tell you I came from another world?"

"No, you didn't!" Tohru puffed out her cheeks.

"Oh... sorry, my bad," Roy apologized, scratching his head sheepishly.

"Then let me tell you about the other worlds I've been to."

"Okay!" Tohru nodded, eager to learn more about Roy.

<><><><>

Roy then recounted his adventures in various worlds to Tohru and Lucoa.

Even Kanna and Est joined them, listening intently to his stories.

His tales were captivating.

They were so engrossed that they even forgot about lunch.

But as Dragons, they didn't need to eat every day.

Roy finally finished his stories when Fafnir arrived that evening.

"Fafnir-san, welcome! I've prepared a game console for you," Tohru greeted him, leading him to the game console.

She then urged Roy to continue his stories.

"Roy, keep going! Tell us about the World of Elementalists!"

Roy's adventures fascinated Tohru.

Even Lucoa and Kanna were captivated.

"Tohru, Fafnir-san came all the way here to see you. Are you going to let him play games alone?" Roy asked.

"It's fine. Fafnir-san loves games," Tohru replied, glancing at Fafnir, who was engrossed in his game.

"Alright."

Roy continued his stories.

They didn't notice that Fafnir had also stopped playing games and was listening intently.

<><><><>

After dinner, Fafnir finally revealed his reason for coming.

"I've decided to stay in this world for a while," he announced.

"Are you serious?"

"I don't recommend it. Can you even live with humans?" Tohru asked in surprise.

"If you can do it, so can I," Fafnir replied flatly.

"Then stay at..."

"Ahem." Roy interrupted Tohru.

Unlike Lucoa, he didn't want Fafnir staying with them.

"Fafnir-san, if you want to stay here, I can help you find an apartment. That way, you won't have to live with humans."

In the original story, Fafnir had gotten along well with the otaku, Makoto Takiya. But there was no one like that here.

If Fafnir lived with someone he didn't know, it could be dangerous.

But Fafnir also had the potential to be an otaku. All he needed was a computer.

"Thank you," Fafnir said to Roy.

"Don't mention it. You're Tohru's friend. I'm glad I could help," Roy replied with a shrug.

Although Fafnir seemed cold and aloof, he was actually quite kind. He had helped Tohru many times in the original story.

Helping him was the least Roy could do.

Roy then took Fafnir to an apartment nearby and helped him settle in.

"Fafnir-san, would you like to play Bullet Hell with us tomorrow?" Roy asked before leaving.

"Bullet Hell? Sure," Fafnir agreed without hesitation, seemingly grateful for Roy's help.

"Then we'll come get you tomorrow!" Roy said with a smile.

He had finally understood how Tohru and Kanna felt.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't defeat Lucoa.

That's why he had invited Fafnir.

In the original story, Tohru and the other dragons had gone wild playing a simple game of dodgeball.

This Bullet Hell game was even more exciting, and Tohru and Kanna had been having a blast playing it.

After all, Dragons were secretly violent creatures.

<><><><>

The next day, Roy and the others picked up Fafnir and went to the grassland.

Fafnir was immediately intrigued by the game and joined their team against Lucoa.

However, even with his help, they still couldn't defeat her.

After all, Lucoa was incredibly powerful.

In the original story, she had claimed to be stronger than all the other dragons combined.

...

Time passed.

After taking Tohru and Kanna to a comic convention and a beach vacation, Roy finally had some time to relax.

One day...

"Roy, I'm hungry," Kanna said, climbing onto Roy, who was lounging on the sofa.

"Oh, then ask Tohru to make lunch," Roy replied, patting her head.

"Mmm... I want Roy to cook," Kanna whined, nuzzling him.

Roy chuckled.

"Okay, okay, get off me so I can get up."

"Okay!" Kanna agreed cheerfully and climbed down.

"Roy, I want head pats too!" Tohru whined, seeing Kanna acting cute.

"Alright, alright."

Just then, they all turned towards the source of a sudden commotion.

BOOM!!!

Something crashed through the wall and landed before them.

They all remained calm, unfazed by the sudden intrusion.

As the dust settled, a girl with a trident appeared.

She had dark purple hair, blue eyes, a single horn on her forehead, and a blue tail.

This was Elma.

"I didn't expect you to escape to this place, Tohru," Elma said coldly.

"Have you forgotten the rules? Dragons disrupt the order of this world. Come back with me."

"Hmph! You're still the same stubborn old stick in the mud."

"But I'm not going back!" Tohru retorted.

"Tohru-sama and Elma-sama don't get along," Kanna explained to Roy.

"That's not necessarily true," Roy said with a chuckle.
