"Brother..." Sayu, holding onto Light's sleeve to speak privately, said hesitantly, "A girl recently joined my school... She's in seventh grade and must be around 12... Ah, she has a hearing impairment and... I witnessed some classmates mocking her... I intervened, of course, but it doesn't seem to have ended, many in her class continue to bother her..."
"Oh, how sad to hear that." Light understood the dismay of his younger sister and inquired, "Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to help in some way?"
"I understand how wrong it is, but... Is there a way to intervene without causing too much harm? Like, using harmless ayakashis to scare these students whenever they try to torment the girl?" Sayu asked.
Recognizing the dilemma of his sister, who genuinely wanted to help, Light pondered, "One option would be for you to befriend her and defend her if anyone threatens her. However, you're in different grades... Either way, on Monday, I will accompany you to school and see what I can do, alright?" He assured.
"Thank you so much, brother! You're amazing!" Sayu wrapped him in a hug. All her disheartenment vanished, replaced with a beaming smile.

[In the special training room]
Light approached Himari, "Himari, I need to share something with you that must remain confidential for now. Can you keep this secret?"
"Is it about the cat, Chocola?" Himari inquired.
"Exactly." Light agreed and continued, "I have now surpassed the Reincarnated Devils and have become a Heavenly Devil."
A pair of wings, appearing to dance with celestial flames and having seven to eight shimmering blue filaments, emerged from Light's back, presenting a spectacular sight.
As he spoke, his attire shifted to something resembling satin, yet it flowed and adapted to the surrounding environment, now primarily white. A belt adorned with the 12 zodiac signs was around his waist, and his shoes were made of a silver-like material, reminiscent of shooting stars.
He took the Scorpio emblem from his belt and said, "With this, I have the ability to make someone reborn as a Heavenly Devil. Logically, the process isn't the same as I underwent to reincarnate as a devil. These stones, especially the golden ones, have a unique specialty..."
As Light elaborated, Himari listened attentively, interjecting with questions here and there. He explained his transformation and elevation to the status of Heavenly Devil.
"I accept!" Decisively and without hesitation, Himari expressed her consent after understanding the whole context and the offer to be reborn as a Heavenly Devil, becoming a sort of Archangel, right below him.
Placing the Scorpio Stone on Himari's chest, Light watched as she absorbed it, enveloping her in a luminous spectacle reminiscent of the aurora borealis.
Himari's body underwent a transformation. Unlike the metamorphosis of becoming a Devil, she was evolving to something higher.
Her hair, retaining its original color, gained extra shine and softness, enhancing her beauty even more. Her violet eyes now reflected starry glints with tiny blue sparks, making them even more captivating and magnetic.
These details gave her an almost ethereal aura, as if she wasn't from this world. Himari's already admirable silhouette refined even further, becoming slimmer and adding a few centimeters to her height, reaching 173 cm with elongated legs, elevating her grace to an almost divine level.
A pair of wings, similar to Light's, sprouted from her back. Each of them exhibited five threads that seemed to dance with the purity of light and celestial energy. Rising slightly above the ground, she looked like a deity descended from the heavens.
Upon returning to the ground, Himari did not retract her wings. She approached and gently placed her hand on Light's chest. Leaning towards him, her lips softly brushed against his neck, and she whispered, with an enchanting voice, "How do I appear to you, young master?"
"You look absolutely stunning! Your beauty, which was already remarkable, has now reached new heights!" Light praised, a stream of compliments flowed from his lips, while a smile and a look full of admiration shone in his eyes.
With an air of satisfaction and delight, Himari murmured, "Nyahh, that makes me so happy to hear, young master~". As she spoke these words, a pair of adorable white cat ears emerged, their tips tinged in a celestial blue.
Complementing her figure, a white tail, also tipped in celestial blue, swayed gracefully, harmonizing with her wings and adding an irresistibly seductive touch to her presence.
"Your power has grown exponentially, and it seems your essence has evolved into a distinct lineage..." Light mused, examining her closely.
In contrast to Light, who had abandoned his human nature, first replaced by that of a reincarnated devil and then to a Heavenly Devil, Himari's metamorphosis showcased superior features in some respects.
Especially, the preservation of her unique identity as a 'bakeneko', which now seemed to intertwine with her own lineage.
If one were to draw a parallel, he, as a human, had the 'Light Ferry', which remained post his transformation.
However, this was more of an aptitude than a lineage per se, even being a legacy passed down through generations in his family.
"Yes, nyah. I've increased my strength and yet retained my essence," Himari smiled, nestling into his arms, resting her head affectionately against his chest.
Himari felt deeply connected to him, even more so than the intimate moment they first 'connected'.
'So this is what being reborn with young master's love and care feels like...' She tightened her embrace around him.
Pressing her gently to him, Light's firm voice intoned, "There are reasons in almost everything I do. And by choosing you as the first to be transformed and reborn by the Golden Piece by me, I hope you see how special you are to me."
Himari looked deep into Light's eyes, her pupils dilated from the intensity of the moment. "Master, ever since our fates intertwined, I vowed to protect you. Being chosen by you like this only solidifies my vow. You have no idea how precious you are to me."
Light cast her a fiery look and, with a smooth motion, drew her into his arms. Without warning, he leaned in, sealing his lips with hers.
Although taken aback, Himari soon responded, sliding her hands around Light's neck and deepening the kiss. She felt as if Light wanted to envelop even her very essence with that gesture, so profound and engaging was their connection. She closed her eyes, getting entirely lost in the moment.
The sound of their lips joining held an undeniable hint. It was a blessing they were in a private place, as it would be hard to hide the evident passion if anyone were to witness it.
As the intensity grew, their kisses were punctuated with nips and bolder caresses. Their clothes crumpled with the growing exploration, revealing the urgency of their mutual desire.
Himari, her eyes shining and filled with emotion, whispered, "Young master, my love for you is immeasurable... I desire you, here and now."
"And you shall have," replied Light in a deep and alluring voice. Gently, he began to undress Himari's kimono, which slid to the floor. A unique and intensely intimate scent permeated the room, reflecting the growing passion between them.
With a seductive tone and a hint of mischief, her eyes seeming made of water, she said, "Your ability to enthrall me has improved so much, young master. Just with kisses and touches, you make me so lit and wet... I can hardly wait for what comes next~~"
