"Hiro... Grayfia is right. The Longinus 'Boosted Gear' has not changed its host in over fifteen hundred years."
Rias confirmed Grayfia's statement softly beside him.
Fifteen hundred years ago? A female Red Dragon Emperor?
Shouldn't the current host of the Red Dragon Emperor be Hyoudou Issei?
Thinking this, Hiro realized the person opposite him was a big shot with "mind reading."
Big shot is awesome! he silently thought.
"Alright, I understand I'm the second Red Dragon Emperor. So, Grayfia... did you come just to confirm this, or do you have other plans?"
Rubbing his temples with a slight headache, he looked at the emotionless silver-haired maid a few meters away.
"Let me say this first. Handing it over is impossible. You should know what happens to humans after their Sacred Gears are taken."
"Please rest assured. I have no desire for your belongings. My purpose here is solely to 'confirm the truth.'"
Whew.
Hiro secretly exhaled.
Before he could fully relax, a white hand rested on Grayfia's left shoulder.
A tall woman appeared-voluptuous, wearing alluring purple attire, golden wavy hair cascading past her waist, a curious smile on her face.
"As for the rest, it's just my personal curiosity."
The golden-haired woman passed Grayfia, stopping not far from Hiro, leaning slightly forward, unconcerned about her attire.
Staring at her, Hiro immediately realized who she was.
Elsha?
"Elsha?" he asked, uncertain, meeting her green eyes.
She smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
"Since you know my name, young man, you should know I am the host of the Red Dragon Emperor, right?"
"About that... I do know."
Just didn't know you were still alive... he added silently.
He glanced at Grayfia behind her-no reaction.
Moments later, Rias sat in her usual spot. Elsha and Hiro faced each other on opposite sofas, Grayfia standing silently behind Elsha.
Koneko, Kiba Yuuto, and Asia had been persuaded out under the pretext of "preparing for tomorrow's studies."
"Although very similar to me, probably in abilities and form, there isn't a trace of my aura in his Sacred Gear."
On Elsha's right forearm was a reddish-brown gauntlet with an emerald gem.
As it flickered, a deep male voice spoke.
"Ddraig, do you really not have siblings? What about your parents?"
Elsha looked down at the gauntlet, a hint of a smile on her lips.
"Don't know, not clear, don't ask me."
The gem flickered. Ddraig's voice, now just a soul, sounded helpless.
"No image of family or relatives exists in my memory. Even if there were, it wouldn't mean they share my abilities."
"Indeed."
Elsha rested her chin on her left hand and nodded.
"Since you already know I, this Red Dragon Emperor, am genuine, and the purpose has been achieved, can I leave now?"
Hiro glanced at the emotionless Grayfia behind her.
"Don't be in such a hurry, young man... or perhaps..."
Elsha smiled charmingly.
"Is this big sister not charming enough? That really hurts my feelings~~"
Big sister over fifteen hundred years old, huh? Hiro muttered inwardly, gesturing toward Grayfia.
"If Grayfia can stay, I think we can chat a little longer."
Having a mind-reading big shot nearby made him feel awkward.
He neither disliked nor feared her, but he had little interest in prolonging the conversation.
After all, he had more secrets than usual.
In the end, he endured over ten minutes before being released.
Ddraig is in Elsha's hand, and also Grayfia's Queen... the original plan to add another Longinus to Ingvild has fallen through.
Leaving Kuoh Academy, Hiro looked up at the starry sky and muttered to himself.
As for why he chose to give the Boosted Gear to Ingvild instead of Asuna-beyond the entertaining idea of "dual Longinus"-it was because he didn't want them involved in the Underworld.
Existences like Asia, born with Sacred Gears, had no turning back. Asuna and the others still had a choice.
Achoo-!
In the silent night, the loud sneeze made him glance over.
A trembling pink-haired figure stood dozens of meters away on the second floor, in front of the wide-open doorway-Kirisu Mafuyu, clearly shivering and not daring to enter.
A hint of doubt flashed in his mind.
What is this girl doing?
Achoo-!
Standing in place, Hiro paused and adjusted his pace, watching her silently...
