  [s of Heaven]!

  A Divine struct created by the gods to bind ods, specifically desigo ter the—King of Heroes, Gilgamesh.

  Its power to bind increased in proportion to the target's Divinity. However, against an ordinary human, it was nothing more than a sturdy .

  One of its most notable feats was when Gilgamesh and Enkidu used the—[s of Heaven] to capture the—Bull of Heaven, the stro of the Divis.

  Enkidu also used it to halt the advance of Tiamat during the final battle in the Babylonia Singurity.

  "The [s of Heaven] is a formidable on."

  'When I fight iure, I just use this to restrain my enemies. Sihis world is full of Gods and Devils, it'll be especially effective. How wonderful—!' I thought to myself, feeling quite pleased.

  ....

  After spending some more time with the five girls, it was getting te. I noticed a marker on my—System Map.

  "I have some busio take care of, so I'm heading home first. I'll e see you again when I have time."

  "What is it? Do you need any help?"

  The five girls had just officially bey girlfriends, and they were relut to part with me so soon.

  I kissed each of them on the cheek and told them I had important matters to attend to.

  They pouted, a little dejected, but ultimately waved me goodbye.

  ....

  I left and ran to another nearby bridge, where I found—'her'. She was wearing her school uniform with bck stogs, had a delicate, oval face, a straight nose, rosy lips, and fair skin.

  It was her than—Aika Kiryuu!

  But I didn't have time to admire her beauty right now. Kiryuu's mental state seemed very unstable, as if she were about to jump into the river! I quickly rushed over to stop her!

  Using my abilities—I peered into her mind and saw a dark shadow.

  It was a bck cat with a single vertical bck line in its crimson eyes. It looked incredibly sinister.

  I was startled. 'A bck cat? What does this mean?'

  Without overthinking it, I eled my magic power into her, slowly suppressing the bck cat in her mind, allowiain sciousness.

  Kiryuu slowly came to, and seeing my smiling face close to hers, holding her hand, she let out a small 'yelp' and quickly pulled her hand back, blushing.

  "You're Hibari Kyoya? Wh-what are you doing? Where is this—?"

  I didn't answer, instead waiting for Kiryuu to calm down before expining what had just happened.

  ....

  "Oh, I remember now. Thank you, Kyoya-kun."

  "Have you experienced anything strange or unusual tely? Or had any strange dreams?"

  Hearing my question, Kiryuu's expression ged. The reason she had wao jump into the river was still a fresh and scary memory.

  Kiryuu remained silent for a full five minutes before finally speaking.

  "Kyoya-kun, for the past few days, whenever I fall asleep, I have the same nightmare. I dream of a strange bck cat chasing me. Several times, I was so scared that I fell into the water and almost drowned."

  "A bck cat."

  I frowned. I had a hunch about what was going on.

  ....

  I told her I was worried and insisted on walking her home.

  "Huh? Kyoya-kun, we're not that close. Why are you being so o me? Are you sure you don't have ulterior motives?"

  "And I know about your close retionships with Rias-senpai and Akeno-senpai. There are even rumors that Koneko- has fallen victim to your charms! But someone like me—"

  "...."

  "You uimate yourself. If you dressed up a bit, you'd definitely be the ter of attention." I looked at her, a strange smile on my face.

  "Besides, wouldn't it be o have an—'Experienced Friend'?"

  "To say something like that so calmly. Just what I'd expect from you, Kyoya-kun." Kiryuu rolled her eyes at me, then sighed.

  As we walked along the street, I decided to take her to a pce with a niight view, hoping the romantic atmosphere would help dispel the shadows in her heart.

  Kiryuu just looked at me, a strange expression on her face, and muttered, "Holy, I already said I go home by myself. You don't have to worry about me."

  I didn't respond, my gaze fixed on something ahead!

  She followed my gaze a her blood run cold.

  A bck cat, nearly two meters tall, slowly emerged from the darkness. Its fangs were bared, and its eyes glowed green.

  Kiryuu turned pale, trembling as she stared at it. A deep sense of unease and terror welled up inside her. She stammered, "Th-this is the bck cat from my dreams! Am I still dreaming?"

  Seeing the look of despair on her face, the bck cat seemed to grin even wider, its expression being even more scary as it sloroached them.

  But just then, I spoke, my voice surprisingly nont. "Kiryuu, This 'thing' has been haunting your dreams and nearly drove you to suicide, hasn't it?"

  Hearing my words, Kiryuu was stunned. 'So that's it. That's why Kyoya-kun insisted on taking me home.'

  She felt a surge of guilt, realizing that she had put me in danger.

  F herself to calm down, Kiryuu decided she o buy me some time to escape. "Kyoya-kun, Run—I'll hold it off!"

  But I simply pulled her behind me and said, "Just stay bad watch."

  My eyes sharpened, crag with blue energy. In that instant, I made my move.

  A thick bolt of blue lightning ripped through the night sky, like divine punishment, striking the bck cat directly, instantly turning it into a charred crisp.

  It was dead beyond dead!

  "Uh...!" Staring at this unbelievable se, Kiryuu was dumbstruck, then she excitedly asked, "Was that bck cat one of those monsters from manga? And Kyoya-kun, you must be an exorcist or an Onmyouji, right?!"

  I just smiled at her rea.

  ....

  Then I expio Kiryuu about the bck cat, about this world, about the Three Fas, and about the various pantheons.

  Only then did she finally uand that the bck cat was a creature called a Stray Devil, and that there were many beings in this world that existed only in legends.

  "Wow, so your lives are so exg. I'm so envious!" Kiryuu excimed, stars in her eyes.

  Seeing Kiryuu's envious expression, I tio tempt her.

  "So, Kiryuu, do you want to bee a Devil? you'll have aernal life and aing life like mine."

  "Hmm, bee a Devil? That sounds kind of nice!" Kiryuu thought about it for a moment.

  "If you decide to bee a Devil, I'll give you a vish gift!" I tio entice her.

  "In that case, I've made up my mind! I want to bee a Devil, too!" Kiryuu finally made her decision.

  Seeing that she wao bee a Devil, I took out the purified—[Vritra's Sacred Gears] that I had extracted from Saji.

  Then I expined all the information about the [Vritra's Sacred Gears] to Kiryuu.

  After hearing the expnation, Kiryuu was pletely stunned.

  She couldn't believe that the gift I had mentioned would be so valuable.

  Before Kiryuu could react, I directly imphe [Vritra's Sacred Gears] into her body.

  Feeling the strange power within her, Kiryuu looked at me curiously. "Kyoya-kun, why are you so o me?"

  "Hmm, didn't I already tell you? I'm ied in you, Kiryuu. Isn't it normal to be o your 'future' wife?" I said with a serious expression.

  "Uh..." Hearing my sudden fession, Kiryuu blushed, not knowing what to say.

  "Also, when you see Yura ter, just tell her you want to meet Sona. She'll take you to her. But don't tell her that I gave you the [Vritra's Sacred Gears]—Just say that I reended you because I think you have great potential." I thought for a moment and instructed her.

  "Oh, and one more thing. Your friend Yura is my first girlfriend."

  "What?! That Yura! How dare she find a boyfriend without telling me! Just wait till I get my hands on her!" Hearing my words, Kiryuu was furious.

  "Alright, Kiryuu, it's getting te. You should head home. I'll be going now. Remember to go see Yura tomorrow." I said, preparing to leave.

  Just then, Kiryuu grabbed me and kissed me on the lips. Then, before I could react, she blushed and ran off towards her home.

  Seeing her dash off, I touched my lips and smiled.
