The next morning, Roy woke up to find Mio sleeping beside him. She must have come in during the night, worried about him.

Her crimson hair looked radiant in the sunlight, reminding him of Rias.

The only difference was that Mio was still a bit childish.

Roy gently stroked her hair, then got out of bed to prepare breakfast.

To his surprise, Maria was already up and about, preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Maria," Roy greeted her with a smile.

"Morning, Onii-chan! I'll take care of breakfast," Maria replied, turning around with a spatula in her hand.

"Thanks," Roy said with a nod.

Mio soon woke up and panicked when she didn't find Roy beside her.

She rushed out of the room, still half-dressed, only to find Roy sitting in the living room.

"Good morning, Mio," Roy chuckled, amused by her flustered appearance.

"Onii-chan!" Mio breathed a sigh of relief, then blushed and scurried back to her room to get dressed.

...

After breakfast, the three of them went to school.

"Good morning, Roy-san," Yuki Nonaka greeted him with a neutral expression as he entered the classroom.

She studied him intently, as if trying to see through his disguise.

As the Hero Clan's representative tasked with monitoring Mio, she had followed them last night.

She had witnessed the Stray Demon attack and Roy's effortless defense.

She tried to investigate his background but couldn't find anything useful.

"Good morning, Nonaka-san," Roy replied with a smile.

Yahiro Takigawa, sitting nearby, remained silent, his eyes fixed on Roy. He was also curious about Roy's identity after yesterday's failed attempt to dispel the Charm spell.

...

During lunch break, Maria pulled Mio aside.

"Mio-sama, I have something to tell you."

"What is it, Maria?" Mio asked.

"I think it's time we tell Onii-chan the truth about our identities," Maria declared.

"What? Why?" Mio was surprised.

"It's not fair to him to keep deceiving him. We should be honest," Maria explained.

"But... but..." Mio hesitated. What if Roy rejected them after learning the truth?

"Mio-sama, he'll find out eventually. It's better to tell him now," Maria insisted. "If he truly cares about you, he won't mind having a Demon and a succubus as his little sisters."

Mio's heart wavered.

She also didn't want to keep deceiving Roy with the Charm spell. She was constantly worried that he would discover the truth and abandon them.

"Alright, Maria, I agree," Mio finally said with a nod.

"Great!" Maria beamed, but her true intentions remained hidden.

...

That night, after dinner, Mio and Maria sat down with Roy in the living room.

"Mio, is there something you want to tell me?" Roy asked with a smile, gently patting her head.

Mio blushed, fidgeting with her fingers.

"Onii-chan... I..."

She tried to speak, but the words wouldn't come out.

Maria, growing impatient, decided to take action.

"Let me do it!" she exclaimed, then dispelled the Charm spell on Roy.

However, Roy hadn't been under any spell. He had simply been pretending.

So, he remained the same, his expression unchanged.

"Onii-chan?" Mio asked cautiously.

"Yes, Mio? What's wrong?" Roy replied with a gentle smile.

"You... weren't affected by the Magic?" Mio asked in surprise.

"Magic? What Magic?" Roy feigned ignorance.

"My Magic didn't work on you, Onii-chan?" Maria also exclaimed in disbelief.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I haven't been affected by anything," Roy said with a shrug.

"But... when we first came here...?" Mio was confused. Maria had used her Charm spell on him that day.

"The first day? Oh, that's because Maria said you would be my little sisters. And I've always wanted cute little sisters, so I played along," Roy explained.

"Huh?"

Mio and Maria stared at each other in stunned silence.

Roy hadn't been under Maria's spell at all. He had been acting with them all along!

Mio wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear. She had been calling him "Onii-chan" and acting like his little sister all this time. How embarrassing!

....

After the initial embarrassment subsided, Mio became worried.

"Onii-chan, what about you...?"

"Heh, as long as you don't mind, Mio, I'll always treat you as my little sister," Roy replied with a smile, gently stroking her head.

Mio blushed, her ruby eyes sparkling with gratitude.

"What about me, Onii-chan?" Maria chimed in, feeling a pang of envy.

"The same goes for you, Maria. I'll always be your big brother," Roy reassured her, also patting her head.

"Onii-chan is so kind!" Maria exclaimed, snuggling against him.

Mio puffed out her cheeks, feeling a bit jealous.

"By the way, Onii-chan, we have something to tell you," Maria said, remembering their mission.

"What is it, Maria?" Roy asked with a smile.

Mio looked at him nervously, wondering how he would react to the truth about their Magic.

"We're not actually humans," Maria declared, stepping in front of Roy.

A bright light enveloped her, and she transformed from a cute and innocent girl into a seductive succubus.

Although Maria was still petite, her charm as a succubus was undeniable.

Even Roy was momentarily stunned by her beauty, but then he frowned.

"Maria, you look lovely, but you should only dress like this at home. It's not appropriate to show this much skin in public," he chided.

"...."

Maria was taken aback.

He was worried about her being seen by others after she had transformed into a succubus?

And this was her battle attire!

"Roy, aren't you curious about Magic?" Mio asked, surprised by his reaction.

"Of course I am. But you'll tell me eventually, won't you?" Roy replied with a chuckle.

"Actually, Maria and I aren't human. She's a succubus, and I'm a Demon," Mio confessed, her body glowing with a red light as she activated her Magic.

Her hair flowed in a nonexistent breeze, giving her a mysterious and noble aura.

"Mio, you're beautiful," Roy complimented with a smile.

"Eh? Thank you!" Mio blushed.

"Onii-chan, you're focusing on the wrong thing! I'm a succubus!" Maria exclaimed, approaching Roy and pressing herself against him.

Although she was petite, her charm as a succubus was potent. Most men wouldn't be able to resist her advances.

"I know. So?" he asked with a shrug and a smirk.

"Ugh!" Maria was speechless.

"Onii-chan, do you already know about the Demons?" Mio asked curiously.

"Not really. Perhaps I'm just very accepting," Roy replied vaguely.

"Hmm..." Mio looked at him skeptically.

"Mio-sama, there's another possibility," Maria said thoughtfully.

"What?"

"He might be a human with powerful Magic potential," Maria explained.

In this world, humans could also possess Magical talent.

So, Maria theorized that Roy has a huge magical potential. That would explain why he was unharmed by the Stray Demon's attack.

"Is... is that so?" Mio asked, still unsure.

"There's no other explanation. It must be true," Maria insisted with a nod.

Mio, convinced by her words, nodded in agreement.

Roy chuckled inwardly, watching them make assumptions.

He didn't have to explain himself after all.

"Onii-chan will protect his little sisters, right?" Maria finally revealed their true motive.

"Of course," Roy replied without hesitation.

Maria nodded in satisfaction.

"But Onii-chan isn't strong enough to protect us yet. So, form a contract with Mio-sama!"

"Eh?!" Mio was surprised. They hadn't discussed this.

"A contract? No problem," Roy agreed, recalling the rather suggestive contract-forming ritual in the original story.

"Mio-sama, you too!" Maria said, turning to Mio.

"But..." Mio hesitated.

Forming a servant contract with her brother felt disrespectful.

"Mio-sama, don't hesitate. Onii-chan has great Magical potential. If we teach him some Magic, he'll be able to protect us," Maria explained.

"Maria is right, Mio. Make a contract with me," Roy urged with a smile.

Of course, he wasn't going to become anyone's servant. But in the original story, Maria had tricked Mio into becoming the servant instead.

And whenever Mio had any "bad" thoughts, the contract would activate.

She would act strangely and need to be "punished" to return to normal. Roy was quite intrigued by this unique contract and its effects.
