The Next Day — The Summons Arrive
Keith and Luna ate breakfast quietly at the long dining table—still unused to the eerie silence of the now-empty Runcandel castle. Afterward, they went to the living room and sat together on the large sofa.
Luna slid closer and held Keith's hand.
Keith took a slow breath.
"Ready?" she asked softly.
Keith nodded and reached into his inventory.
Five shimmering golden tickets appeared in his hand—the 5★ Summon Tickets.
When he activated them, the air in front of him twisted like swirling light.
Magic crackled.
The room brightened.
And then—
Five figures appeared.
Five women.
And Keith's jaw dropped slightly.
Because he recognized every one of them.
The Summoned
Grayfia Lucifuge – the silver-haired maid of legend from High School DxD Rias Gremory – but only four years old, the same age as Keith, crimson hair flowing Gamma – the genius inventor from The Eminence in Shadow Scathach – the immortal warrior-queen from Fate Albedo – the elegant and dangerously devoted overseer from Overlord
They all blinked, adjusting to the new world—then their eyes landed on Keith.
And everyone froze for a moment.
He was adorable.
Silver hair. Sapphire eyes. A noble but soft expression.
All five thought the exact same thing:
…How cute.
…This child is our master?
…He's going to grow up terrifyingly handsome.
Their cheeks flushed—some subtly, some very obviously.
Luna noticed immediately.
She almost twitched.
They fell for him instantly…
She sighed internally.
She already knew Keith would have many wives in the future—she accepted that.
But she also knew one thing:
She would be first.
For now, she stayed calm.
Introductions
Keith stood up with perfect etiquette—like a small noble lord—and bowed slightly.
"My name is Keith Argus Runcandel."
Luna followed gracefully:
"I am Luna Runcandel."
The summoned women introduced themselves next—each name filling the room with weight and presence.
Then Keith explained their origins and skills to Luna.
As he spoke, Grayfia, Rias, Gamma, Scathach, and Albedo all blushed lightly—hearing Keith describe them with such admiration made them strangely happy.
Luna noticed that too.
It's starting already… she thought, exhaling quietly.
But she didn't interfere.
Keith then stepped forward and began assigning their roles.
Assigning Roles in the Runcandel Household
Grayfia Lucifuge – Head Maid
"Grayfia," Keith said softly, "I'd like you to be the Head Maid of the Runcandel family."
Grayfia placed a hand on her chest and bowed deeply.
"It would be my honor, Master Keith."
Gamma – Finance Director
"Gamma, I want you to manage the finances and assets of the Runcandel family."
Gamma straightened her posture sharply.
"I will optimize everything to perfection, Master Keith."
Albedo – Manager of the Household
"Albedo… I want you to handle mansion management and internal operations."
Albedo smiled beautifully—dangerously.
"With pleasure, my beloved Ma— …Master Keith."
Luna raised an eyebrow.
Keith pretended not to hear the slip.
Rias Gremory – Companion
Keith crouched to eye level with the tiny four-year-old Rias.
"You're the same age as me… so you can stay with me, tag along, and learn with me."
Rias' eyes sparkled like rubies.
"Un! I'll stay with Keith!"
Her childish enthusiasm made everyone smile—even Luna.
Scathach – Head of Security & Instructor
Keith turned to the warrior queen.
"I want you to handle the security of the Runcandel mansion… and train me and Luna. In the future, you'll become Luna's right hand."
Scathach bowed respectfully.
"As you command. I shall forge both of you into weapons that surpass fate itself."
Luna's eyes lit up.
Keith smiled confidently.
Everything was falling into place.
With the arrival of the summoned women, the empty Runcandel castle no longer felt silent or lonely.
It felt alive.
And the new era of the Runcandel family had officially begun.
