Chapter 26 - The Name Behind the Maid

"Asia, let me tell you this first. In the Occult Research Club, aside from you, everyone else is a devil. So... even if you want to pray, don't pray for them, okay?"

On the way to the old school building, Hiro spoke carefully as he walked beside Asia. She had already joined the Occult Research Club and was about to enter the clubroom for the first time.

"Devils, huh..." Asia looked toward the old school building, its roof faintly visible in the distance. She hesitated for a few seconds, her confidence clearly lacking.

"I'll try my best~"

Seeing her uncertain expression, Hiro shook his head with a wry smile and didn't say anything more.

Originally, his plan had only been to get Asia into Kuoh Academy. He hadn't intended for her to join the Occult Research Club-the devils' headquarters.

But with the school completely under devil control, if he wanted to arrange a transfer student, aside from going through tedious official procedures, his only real options were Rias Gremory or Sona Sitri.

After weighing their respective levels of cooperativeness, he chose the more approachable Rias as his point of entry.

The result?

Success.

With one extra condition.

Asia, the transfer student, had to join the Occult Research Club.

Rias hadn't gone so far as to demand that he or Asia become servants, but Hiro didn't believe for a second that she had no ulterior motives.

Creak-creak-

"Rias, I brought Asia."

Hiro pushed open the clubroom door and led Asia inside, greeting Rias's direction as he entered.

The scene before him made his eyes twitch slightly.

Rias sat in her usual seat, hands clasped together beneath her chin, her expression deeply troubled.

To her left, Akeno still wore her usual gentle smile, but the familiar cunning was absent.

Standing in front of them was the back of a silver-haired maid.

Koneko and Yuuto hadn't arrived yet.

"It looks like we came at a bad time?"

Pulling the somewhat timid Asia closer, Hiro casually found a sofa and sat down, looking toward Rias as he spoke.

"If so, should Asia and I leave first?"

He said that.

But even if Rias agreed, he'd find a way to stay.

According to his memory, Riser should be appearing soon.

If he left now, who knew what that burnt chicken would pull.

"There's no need. I have something to announce once Koneko and Yuuto arrive. You can listen as well." Rias glanced at Asia beside him, her tone tinged with fatigue.

That was Rias's stance.

But not everyone present shared it.

The maid did not.

Grayfia's sharp eyes immediately identified Hiro and Asia as humans.

"Rias-sama, is it truly appropriate to involve two outsiders in the matter at hand?" The silver-haired maid glanced toward them as she spoke.

"It's fine. They're not completely unrelated to this matter."

Rias shook her head slightly and replied calmly.

"Lucifer-sama."

That single title made Hiro's eyes widen.

Lucifer?

What was going on?

Noticing his stunned expression, Akeno briefly returned to her usual mischievous self.

"Ara ara, Nanamiya-kun, you didn't know?" She narrowed her light purple eyes, resting her cheek against her hand as her lips curved upward.

"Grayfia Lucifer is the current Maou-sama of the Underworld~~"

"Maou Lucifer?!"

The great devil from mythology was standing right in front of her. Asia instinctively covered her mouth, unable to stop herself from exclaiming.

Her shock far surpassed Hiro's.

Meeting the pair of silver-gray eyes devoid of emotion, Hiro's mouth twitched as he turned to look at Rias.

"Shouldn't the current Lucifer be Sirzechs Gremory? Rias, your brother? How did it become Grayfia Lucifer? If Grayfia-sama is Lucifer, then what is Sirzechs? Beelzebub?"

"What are you even saying?" Rias rolled her eyes, as if he'd asked something ridiculous.

"How could Onii-sama be Lucifer? He is a Maou, but like you said, he's Beelzebub. With his strength, there's no way he could take the position of Lucifer from Grayfia."

Hiro: ...

This was... different.

While he and Rias spoke, Grayfia Lucifer remained perfectly still, fulfilling her role as a maid, silent and expressionless.

After learning something this shocking, Hiro no longer had any confidence in guessing who the remaining two Maou were.

After a brief daze, he looked at the red-haired beauty nearby and asked cautiously:

"Then... Ajuka Asmodeus, and Serafall Leviathan?"

"That's right~" Rias nodded with a satisfied smile, seemingly influenced by Akeno's mood.

"Also, Serafall Leviathan-sama is the older sister of Sona Sitri, the student council president of Kuoh Academy. 'Sona Shitori' is just her alias in the human world. Her real name is Sona Sitri."

That part hasn't changed much.

The thought flashed through Hiro's mind.

Still, when his gaze swept over Grayfia's black-and-white maid uniform, he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"Then, Rias," he asked, pointing subtly with his eyes, "about Lucifer-the head of the four great Maou of the Underworld-why is she wearing a maid uniform... can you explain that to me?"
