In the original storyline, Tosca only appears later. Discovered during a facility sweep, she only saw daylight again after the Fallen camp used their Divine Essence technology to the barrier.
However, now, Tosca automatically her Sacred Gear's protection because of Akuto's chess piece.
After absorbing Akuto's chess piece, Tosca not only revived from her feigned death, but the body that had been extremely weak and stunted from prolonged suspended animation also fully recovered.
"As expected… it was Akuto-sama."
"That lord truly can create any miracle—"
…
Yumi Kiba smiled freely and stepped up to Akuto of her own accord.
The blonde Holy-Demonic Sword maiden dropped to both knees. She set her Holy-Demonic Sword against her brow, placed both hands on the floor, and pressed her forehead and hands flush—an attitude of complete submission.
"Akuto-sama, this grace of yours, I shall never forget for all my life."
"From this day forth, Yumi shall be your sword and cut down all your enemies."
"This oath shall not perish, even if seas turn to mulberry fields, even if the oceans dry and rocks crumble."
Yumi had already been very loyal.
Upon learning that Akuto had revived her companions, Yumi's loyalty and gratitude became beyond words.
Of course she meant no slight toward Rias, but compared to Akuto ［whether Holy-Demonic Sword or Holy-Demonic-Sword-type Maou or Holy-Demonic-Sword-type Holy-Demonic-Sword-type Maou, there is a bit of a gap.
"Alright, Yumi, I've received your heart. But you don't have to do this."
"Because I also require recompense when I save people. I don't do things without return. If I bring you back, then you must offer me your body and your loyalty."
Akuto waved a hand and explained.
Come to think of it, he felt Yumi mimicking a holy knight's gesture—hands to brow, kowtowing—was strangely familiar.
Before he crossed over, he had seen plenty of pictures with that pose.
Of course, Yumi and those pictures were still quite different.
Most of the cosers in those pictures wore not a stitch, only a cosplay wig, with the rest of the costume neatly folded to the side, displaying their complete submission as the character.
Akuto felt that, given Yumi's current loyalty, if he asked Yumi to do the same, she would absolutely do so without hesitation.
…
Outside Kuoh Academy.
Katerea watched Kokabiel step into Kuoh Academy… and then never come back out.
A few minutes later, the barrier dissipated.
Realizing that staying any longer risked discovery, Katerea fled in a hurry.
"Kokabiel already used an evolution item, but he still didn't walk out of Kuoh Academy!"
"Sai Akuto Leviathan-variant is stronger than before. Zero-gravity and magnetism have reached the Gravity tier! We must re-calibrate the gravity baseline to respond to his moves!"
"Right, a force called the 'Bomb Organization' recently joined the Khaos Brigade. They're very keen on researching all kinds of Sacred Gears. Most importantly, they have a powerful tool for dealing with the dragon race…."
"If it's the Red Dragon Emperor's dead hand, it should draw their attention…"
Because the opposition was too strong, Katerea was gradually trending toward abandoning that pride belonging to the Old Maou.
Unlike Kokabiel, who had always occupied a high seat, the Old Maou had already received教育 by reality many times.
"Oppose the Reformation Devils and then be defeated," "secede from the Underworld," "join the Khaos Brigade," "use an Evolution Core"… with each such event, the Old Maou's reputation was damaged some more.
At this point, apart from obsession with the Maou throne, the Old Maou had long since lost any so-called dignity.
…
(PS: The Utsusemi Agency is the evil organization from the same-worldview work "Slash Dog," which shares a setting with DxD and resembles the Old Maou Faction in DxD.
Later text will include parts of "Slash Dog," but the author knows many readers don't like it, so Slash Dog content will be fast-forwarded.

…
On the other side.
Outside Kuoh City—Azazel's end.
Azazel, who had been fishing, suddenly received a call from a Maou.
"Hm? Maou Lucifer?"
Though puzzled, Azazel hurried to connect.
"Sirzechs, contacting the Governor of the Fallen privately before the Three-Faction Summit—this doesn't seem like what a proper Maou should do."
Azazel did have a high favorability toward the devil race and acknowledged Sirzechs and the others' achievements as reformists.
Even so, Sirzechs indeed shouldn't be contacting him privately at such a time.
If he did so, wouldn't Heaven's side's严守什么什么 be punished?
Sirzechs knew what Azazel meant and spoke unhurriedly:
[Azazel, I contacted you entirely for official business.]
[Are you aware that a cadre-class Fallen named Kokabiel is preparing to incite war before the Summit?]
"Hm? Kokabiel? You called me for him?"
Of course Azazel knew Kokabiel was up to something. For that, he had been inclined to安排瓦利在各派的时刻表上留下.
As it stands, it seems Vali's side didn't need to mobilize.
[So that means you know what he intends to do?] Sirzechs's voice remained calm.
"No, I don't know what he did."
"However, if he truly intends to sabotage the upcoming Three-Faction Summit, the Fallen Angel camp will take responsibility and eliminate this unstable factor." At such a moment Azazel naturally couldn't admit the facts.
[Take responsibility, hm? No need anymore. My little sister has already helped your Fallen clean house.]
"Your brother-in-law? The one named Sai Akuto?"
Azazel was all too familiar with Akuto. Lately, the White Dragon Emperor had been bringing up Akuto in front of him more times than he could count.
[That's right. Akuto-kun has already slain Kokabiel and frozen his soul.]
"I see~ The current Red Dragon Emperor is impressive—already to the level of defeating a cadre-class Fallen Angel." Azazel felt he could foresee that in the near future[the Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor will absolutely erupt in an unprecedentedly fierce duel.
[Azazel, you know I didn't contact you to hear this.] Sirzechs reminded.
"Alright, alright, I get it. The Fallen side will take responsibility."
[Not only responsibility. What I want is… sincerity.]
"Ah—"
Azazel threw his head back with a weary howl. It seemed the Fallen camp would have to lay bare all the harem's secrets today.
"Fine, tell me. What must I do to demonstrate sincerity?"
[Mm. On that front, my idea is…]
Sirzechs broadly outlined his arrangements.
[On the Underworld side, the Four Maou have discussed and are preparing to establish an oversight body with jurisdiction to enforce across all three major factions. I plan to have Akuto head this oversight body, paving the way for his future.]
"The future, hmm? You value your brother-in-law so highly—is it so your sister can succeed to one of the four Maou's seats?"
[Sa~ who knows?]
"Alright. Whatever you're planning, I agree." Azazel promised.
…
After discussing some follow-up handling and handoffs, Azazel hung up and looked toward the bright moon in the sky.
"!! Considering that among the Four Maou, Maou Lucifer is likely planning to have Akuto inherit his position, rather than inheriting the originally positions of the other two Maou."
"Interesting. Truly interesting."
"The White Dragon Emperor is a descendant of the Old Maou Lucifer, while the Red Dragon Emperor is the current Maou Lucifer's brother-in-law—and likely the future Maou Lucifer."
"If those two could battle together and improve together, perhaps the Red and White Dragon Emperors can be developed to an unprecedented realm."
Azazel very much hoped to thoroughly their divine essence when the time came.
Therefore, before Akuto fully grows up, Azazel is quite willing to offer some face.
…
Elsewhere.
While Maou Lucifer was requesting the proper compensation due to Akuto from the Fallen Governor, Akuto also received the other rewards he ought to gain from this incident.
While Akuto was being affectionate with that group of girls from the Church, Yumi felt a bit lost.
Yumi pondered for a long time, ［although she felt that Akuto and these two Holy-Demonic Sword girls, she somewhat couldn't express her feelings toward Akuto.
After asking Akeno Himejima a few questions, Akeno smiled and told her that Akuto should be quite interested in her body.
Thus, without any hesitation, Yumi steeled herself that very night and came to Akuto's room.
Just as she reached Akuto's door, Yumi faintly heard a very soft girl's voice.
Sounded like… Tosca?
Could it be ［Qian Zhao says, your woman is playing with Stoyus?]
Yumi swallowed, heat rising all over.
Even so, she mustered her courage and took a step forward.
With just one step—Yumi merely stepped forward one step—and in the next second, she passed through the door and arrived before Akuto.
Yumi stared blankly at Tosca sitting in Akuto's lap, and slowly slipped off her white academy uniform.
As before, Yumi once more placed her hands to her brow, kneeled before Akuto, and straightened her posture.
What was different was that this time, before her was not a Holy-Demonic Sword, but her Kuoh Academy uniform.
Half an hour later.
Tosca and Yumi sat facing each other, hands joined, together enduring the scour of Akuto's Bloodline Infusion Method.
"Perhaps, this is the true salvation?"
Yumi felt her brain melting, her whole person going limp as she toppled.
Even after consciousness faded, she still held Tosca's hand. From that alone, one could see how she cherished this friend who had "returned from death."
