In front of me, the one who summoned was....
""Grayfia Lucifuge!?""
Suddenly Governor Azazel and Mephisto-sama exclaimed in surprise!
I was quite surprised by their reactions.
Do they recognize the woman in front of me?
How can they?
Shouldn't the summoned one was from another world? Then how did Governor Azazel and Mephisto-sama know her?
Wait.... Grayfia Lucifuge?
Isn't that the name of Mother's friend and Devil King Sirzechs Lucifer's wife that Mephisto-sama told me about?
Is there a mistake here? I am confused....
And as if hearing Governor Azazel and Mephisto-sama's shocked reaction, the woman frowned slightly and turned towards them.
"Sorry. I don't know who Grayfia is."
When I saw that woman, the first impression I saw of her was a maid! That's because she's wearing a blue-and-white maid uniform!
Then, the maid woman looked at me.
"My name is Sakuya. Sakuya Izayoi."
That woman, Sakuya-san, introduced herself to me.
Sakuya-san is a young woman with shoulder length silver hair with hair on both sides of her temples braided and tied with green ribbons. She's slim stature and pretty tall for a woman.
I then realized and also introduced myself to her.
"Nice to meet you, Sakuya-san. My name is Rey. Rey Rofocale."
Sakuya-san gave a small smile and bowed to me.
"Nice to meet you, Rey-sama."
After Sakuya-san and I finished introducing ourselves, Governor Azazel and Mephisto-sama looks dumbfounded and a little confused.
"H-Huh? Not Grayfia?"
"A-Apparently."
"They are very similar. As if they were twins...."
"Right...."
Governor Azazel and Mephisto-sama looked a little awkward and smiled wryly after realizing they were mistaken.
Hearing Governor Azazel and Mephisto-sama's conversation, I also smiled slightly wryly.
Then, I started to feel the side effects due to using Balance-Breaker which took a lot of energy. My body began to feel weak and my vision began to blur.
It seems that even though I have gotten stronger during this year, I still feel the side effects of using Infinite Parallel Overwrite Summoning. Looks like I still have to get stronger if I don't want to fall unconscious every time I use it.
Then, I started to collapse and was about to pass out. But, before I collapsed completely, someone supported me, Sakuya-san. I smiled a little and then closed my eyes....

When I opened my eyes, I realized I was in the treatment room.
I feel deja vu because this situation is the same as last year.
"Rey-sama! You are awake!"
Suddenly, I heard someone's voice next to me.
And when I looked, I saw a young woman with silver hair dressed in a maid uniform sitting on a chair next to the bed.
"You are... Sakuya-san...."
Yes. I remember who she is.
She, Sakuya-san, is the person I previously summoned using my Serene Summoning's Balance Breaker.
At that time, I did a summoning wishing someone who could be relied on for daily household chores. And the one who was finally summoned was a maid, this Sakuya-san.
And from the feeds of information I got, her name is Sakuya Izayoi. Age is not known for sure. And what surprised me the most was, even though she looked like an ordinary maid, it turned out that she possessed terrifying ability! Sakuya-san can manipulate time!
Honestly, I feel like I hit the jackpot. Even though I only wanted someone who could be relied on in daily household matters, but instead I got someone who also had the power that could be considered a cheat like Sakuya-san.
I don't know if it's the trait of Balance Breaker: Infinite Parallel Overwrite Summoning where the summoned figure always has certain specialties, or is it because I just happened to be lucky. Since it's not only Sakuya-san who unusual, Scathach-sama is also the same. It's likely that I'll have to do a few more summons using Infinite Parallel Overwrite Summoning to get a pretty definite conclusion.
".... You only fell asleep for four days. Faster than last year."
Suddenly, I heard Scathach-sama's voice.
And when I turned towards the source of the sound, I saw Scathach-sama who was wearing a white knitted sweater dress leaning back looking out the window.
Indeed, when there weren't any activities that involved moving a lot like when training me, Scathach-sama was often seen wearing casual clothes. And her favorite is a sweater dress like the one she's wearing today.
Since Scathach-sama turned her back on me, I only gave her a small nod.
Then, I lifted my body to sit down and asked Sakuya-san.
"Did Sakuya-san already know we will leave?"
Hearing my question, Sakuya-san smiled and nodded slightly.
"Yes. I have been told by Scathach-sama. I have also been explained by Azazel-sama and Mephisto-sama about Rey-sama and other things.... Even though I have to adapt a little, I will serve Rey-sama as best as I can."
"Good then.... Thank you, Sakuya-san."
"With pleasure, Rey-sama."
After Sakuya-san and I finished talking, I saw Scathach-sama turn around and walk towards me.
".... Then, are you ready to go?" Scathach-sama asked me.
And hearing that question, I thought a little.
"Hmm.... We'd better do preparations first."
I feel like it would be better if we prepared a few things before leaving.
However, Scathach-sama frowned at my answer.
".... What other preparations? Don't keep procrastinating. I don't like that."
I shuddered a little and was worried that Scathach-sama would get angry. But I tried to persuade her.
"Y-Yes. I know that. But this is also important Scathach-sama.... Please! Just a few days more!"
Scathach-sama frowns even more at my request.
".... Give me a reason."
Then, I explained my reasons why I wanted to postpone going for a few more days.
"Well, since we will be outside the room for the next two years, we have to prepare the things needed to live in outdoor such as tents, basic cooking utensils, etc. I will ask Governor Azazel or Mephisto-sama to help prepare it. Besides that, we will definitely needs other things like clothes and others. But, surely we will be troubled if we have to carry a lot of stuff like that. So, I want to try to make a summon to get a practical storage. Maybe something like that exists in another world."
After listening to my reason, Sakuya-san gave a small nod.
"Nn. Rey-sama's reasoning makes some sense."
After listening to my excuse, Scathach-sama let out a sigh.
".... Up to you."

The next day....
I told my request for things needed to live outdoors to Governor Azazel and also Mephisto-sama who was still here. They also have no problem with my request and will immediately prepare it.
Apart from that, I also told them that I wanted to use the Cross Overtake Summoning Balance-Breaker to try to get a practical storage.
And that afternoon, I did the summoning.
First of all, I activated my Sacred Gear, Serene Summoning, and a golden staff with a crystal on the tip appeared in my hand.
After that, I tapped the golden staff on the floor and shouted!
"Cross Overtake Summoning!"
Then, the prism crystal on my Sacred Gear's golden staff glowed and a geometric rainbow-white light circle about five meters in diameter appeared on the floor.
The geometric rainbow-white light circle then glowed brighter and brighter until it was blinding!
And after about five minutes later, the geometric circle slowly faded away and then disappeared.
And in front of me, hovering a ring.
Then, I took the ring and I got information directly into my mind.
The ring is called Storage Ring. It can store things inside of its expanded space. It has capacity of 25x25x25 meters.
Oh! Seems like I made it! It really exists!
With this, we won't be troubled if we have to bring a lot of things.
