The following day, in the Gremory mansion's living room, Rias, Akeno, Asia, Xenovia observed the scene on the sofa in silence.

Haru sat there, dark circles under his eyes, a look of… unfulfilled desire on his face.

The reason was obvious.

Curled up in his arms was a small, alluring figure.

"Meow…"

Koneko, her white cat ears twitching, purred contentedly, her arms wrapped tightly around Haru's neck, her tail entwined around… a certain part of his anatomy.

She nuzzled his cheek, her tongue darting out to lick his face, a seductive blush coloring her cheeks.

If she were actually a cat, Haru could have ignored her behavior.

But a Nekoshou in this state… it was hard to resist. So, Haru had indulged, focusing on activities that wouldn't result in pregnancy. After all, the resourceful Haru had numerous techniques at his disposal.

But even after a night of… passionate activity, Koneko showed no signs of calming down. Her blood still boiled, her body still thrummed with desire.

Had Athena not intervened, Haru might have lost control.

Now, he sat there, exhausted, the dark circles under his eyes a testament to his… self-restraint.

"What happened? Why is Koneko like this? She was fine yesterday," Rias asked, rubbing her temples.

"I… I don't know, Buchou. Does anyone know?" Asia asked, her eyes filled with a mixture of envy and concern as she watched Koneko nuzzle Haru.

Everyone shook their heads. Koneko's sudden transformation was a mystery.

Haru coughed awkwardly, scratching his cheek. "It's… because of my power. I accidentally triggered her… Nekoshou cycle… early."

"Nekoshou cycle?" Asia and Xenovia echoed, their faces filled with confusion. What did Koneko have to do with Nekoshou?

"Cycle? I have no idea what you're talking about," Rias said, her brow furrowed. She walked over to the sofa and placed a hand on Koneko's forehead, then on her stomach, her frown deepening.

"Her temperature is high, and her behavior is… erratic. She seems to have lost control. But why?"

"Oh, right. Asia and Xenovia may not know this. Koneko was a Nekoshou, a High-Class Youkai, before she became a Devil," Rias explained, noticing their confused expressions.

"A Nekoshou?! A Youkai capable of wielding Senjutsu? I thought they were extinct! Even the Church records list them as such! And Koneko's fighting style… she's anything but a magic-user," Xenovia exclaimed, staring at Koneko in disbelief.

"Allow me to explain," Akeno said, stepping forward. "I'll tell you why she abandoned her Senjutsu talent and chose to focus on physical combat."

"Years ago, a High-Class Devil discovered two orphaned Nekomata sisters and took the older one, Kuroka, as his servant, recognizing her immense potential."

"But Kuroka's power grew far beyond anyone's expectations. Within a few years, she reached Ultimate-Class levels."

"She was consumed by her power, though. She killed her master and became a Stray Devil—one of the most dangerous, at that."

"She annihilated every Devil sent to capture her and remains at large to this day."

"Eventually, the Devil Elders decided to stop pursuing Kuroka, to prevent further losses, and instead held Koneko, the younger sister, responsible. She was sentenced to death."

"That's… horrible. It wasn't even Koneko's fault," Asia said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"My brother, Sirzechs, intervened. He argued that Koneko was too young to be held accountable, that Kuroka alone was responsible, and convinced the elders to release her into my care. She became my [Rook]," Rias explained, gently stroking Koneko's head.

"Meow…" Koneko purred, nuzzling Rias's hand.

"She must have been terrified of becoming like her sister, of being consumed by her power. That's why she suppressed her Nekoshou bloodline… which led to this…"

The group looked at Koneko, now acting like a normal cat, and fell silent.

"So… what exactly is this… special cycle?" Asia asked, remembering the term Haru had used.

Haru sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "It's… like an animal's mating season. I accidentally… triggered it early."

The others stared at him, their expressions conveying a clear message: "Accidentally? Sure…" Haru's reputation among them was… less than stellar.

Rias, her frown deepening, pulled her hand away from Koneko.

Koneko, unfazed, continued to nuzzle Haru.

"Is there… no way to reverse it? This can't continue," Akeno said, her voice laced with concern.

"There is a way," Haru said, stroking his chin. "We just need to… call her sister."

"Are you crazy?!" Rias exclaimed, staring at Haru in disbelief. "That's Kuroka! A Stray Devil! A dangerous criminal who killed her own master! Do you really think she'd come here to help her sister? Risk being captured by the Devils, just to save the sister she abandoned?"

Haru looked at Rias, a flicker of embarrassment in his eyes. He couldn't exactly explain that Kuroka, despite her actions, was fiercely protective of her younger sister. That she'd killed her master because he'd threatened Koneko's life.

Just then, a magic circle appeared in the room.

Everyone's eyes widened as they recognized the sigil at its center—the crest of the Old Maou Lucifer.

And currently, there was only one known descendant of the Old Maou Lucifer: Vali Lucifer, the half-Devil, half-human White Dragon Emperor.

The magic circle glowed brighter, and a figure materialized.

The newcomer, seeing Koneko's… state… in Haru's arms, gasped in surprise.

"Shirone?! What's going on? Why is she in heat so early?"
