Chapter 31: Team Match
Outside the door.
Rei 's hand froze mid-air just as she was about to knock.
She had come to call them downstairs for dinner, but instead, she ended up witnessing something extraordinary.
Her face instantly flushed pink.
She wanted to pretend she hadn't seen anything and leave quietly, but her legs felt as if they had been nailed to the ground, refusing to move.
As time passed, Rei's breathing became noticeably erratic.
After what felt like an eternity, she finally managed to compose herself, quickly tidied up her appearance, and hurried away.
---
Downstairs.
Saya narrowed her eyes as she watched Rei return, her face still flushed.
"You sure took your time. What were you doing?" she asked suspiciously.
"N-Nothing!"
Rei's gaze darted away as she quickly changed the subject. "You must be hungry. Let's eat first."
"What about them?" Saya frowned slightly, feeling that eating without the others didn't seem right.
"Well... Sensei fell asleep in the bath again."
"And what about Saeko and... and Lynn?"
They had learned Lynn's name from Shizuka earlier.
"They... are discussing sword moves," Rei answered awkwardly. "They got really into it, so they probably won't be coming down anytime soon."
"Is that so...?"
Saya still felt like something was off.
---
The next morning.
As dawn broke, the first ray of sunlight in the world of the dead pierced through the curtains.
Lynn opened his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms.
He had already seen Saeko's side that craved the thrill of battle, yet now, in this quiet moment, her sleeping face exuded an entirely different charm.
No matter how much she relished the battlefield, at the end of the day, she was still a woman.
"...Master..."
As if sensing his gaze, Saeko murmured softly in her sleep.
Lynn gently stroked her long, silky hair but didn't rush to get up.
Reaching for his phone, he opened Line.
Every half hour last night, Kasumigaoka Utaha had @mentioned him in the group chat.
But at that time, he had been too busy to pay attention.
Sigma Man: @Kasumigaoka Utaha, please ask Natsuki-chan for a leave of absence for me.
On the other end, Utaha, who had been anxiously waiting for Lynn's reply all night and hadn't slept well, felt her heart turn cold.
Last night had been completely silent, as if her messages had vanished into the void.
And now, first thing in the morning, he was asking her to request leave for him?
The meaning was obvious.
Utaha's grip on her phone tightened, her knuckles turning white. A heavy suffocating feeling settled in her chest.
Huff...
She took several deep breaths to calm herself.
Then, with sharp, deliberate keystrokes, she fired back a reply.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ?!
Lynn chuckled but ignored her.
---
Main World.
Utaha arrived at school with dark circles under her eyes, seething with frustration.
The entire way there, she muttered under her breath.
"Stealing cat... shameless woman... I was the first..."
Teacher's Office, Shuchiin Academy.
"That's the situation, Ms. Minamiya."
"Got it," Natsuki Minamiya replied without questioning further, approving the leave request immediately.
Leaving the office, Utaha slumped against the wall.
"Spineless..." she muttered, cursing herself.
Then, as if possessed by a sudden determination, she pulled out her phone and opened a shopping app.
Search: Bunny Girl Costume.
War.
This is a woman's war!
After selecting one that made her blush just looking at it, Utaha placed the order without hesitation.
Her eyes burned with fierce resolve.
"You may have rolled first..."
"But I'll let you have that head start this time."
Gritting her teeth, she whispered the words of a sore loser, her voice trembling ever so slightly.
Second.
At the very least, she would be second!
---
"Eh? Just the two of you here?"
Shizuka came downstairs, wearing only an oversized shirt while yawning.
Rei and Saya, who were sitting on the sofa, froze the moment they saw her appearance.
Saya's face turned bright red, and she stammered, "S-S-Sensei, c-c-clothes—!"
Shizuka tilted her head in confusion before glancing down at herself.
Realization dawned.
Tapping her forehead in distress, she sighed. "Ahh, I forgot! The only one that fits me is the one I wore yesterday..."
Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "By the way, where are Saeko and Master?"
Hearing how naturally Shizuka referred to Lynn as Master, Rei's eyelids twitched.
Saeko too…
But considering Saeko and Lynn's relationship, maybe it was to be expected.
After all, last night…
Rei's cheeks flushed red again at the memory. She quickly cleared her throat and answered, "They probably haven't gotten up yet. Last night..."
"They were up really late..."
Her voice grew quieter toward the end.
Shizuka, completely oblivious to their awkwardness, happily skipped toward Saeko's room.
"Wait—!"
Rei opened her mouth, wanting to stop her.
Wouldn't it be better not to disturb them right now?
Swish—
But before she could say anything, Shizuka had already pulled open the door.
"Saeko, the sun's already shining on your—"
Her words abruptly stopped.
She blinked, staring at the scene in front of her.
Saeko, looking particularly satisfied, turned her head toward Shizuka.
The corners of her lips curled into a soft smile.
Shizuka's cheeks puffed up like an angry pufferfish.
"Saeko, bad!"
"You actually did it without me!"
Saeko wiped the corner of her mouth and smiled.
"Sensei, you came at the right time."
Then, she extended an invitation.
To a team match.
(To be continued.)
Chapter 32: That Was Insane (R-18)
"Master you don't mind Sensei joining us right?"
"What?"
Lynn met Saeko's serious gaze and quickly realized she wasn't joking.
"Why not? The more, the merrier," he replied with a cheeky grin.
Shizuka dropped onto the bed, swinging her wide hips as she positioned her butt right beside Lynn.
"Thank you, Master," Shizuka chirped as her head dipped forward, her tongue flicking over his nipple.
Saeko caught his dick, clasped down his rod, parted her succulent lips, and slid him into her mouth. Shizuka's tongue continued to move, flicking his nipple, sucking him, forcing his length to grow harder and harder.
A deep groan edged out of his throat.
Swiftly, his right hand grabbed Saeko's head between his legs and his other arm swept around Shizuka's body, welcoming her warmth through her body. Shizuka responded in kind sweeping her hand across his chest, finding his free nipple between her thumb and forefinger.
Lynn groaned, and his dick jerked once more.
Hmmm~
Saeko moaned, feeling him swell in her mouth. Up and down, her shiny purple haired head bobbed stroking the base of his cock with her hands, stimulating his tip with slippery sucks. Slowly, despite the cool morning breeze, the temperature of the room began to rise.
In a symphony of slurp-slurp noises, the trio locked themselves in together in a crescendo of pure want. Shizuka slowly pushed Lynn back, lowering his back to the bed.
Gladly, he surrendered to her beguiling.
The sound of Saeko's cough suddenly ruptured the silence.
The cough came again, and he stole a quick glance downwards. Saeko was simply choking, choking on his massive cock.
'Damn... she's really going to pass out..'
He tugged on Shizuka giving her a wordless signal with his eyes, glancing downwards. She immediately picked on. Promptly, she pulled away from his chest, got up, and pulled her dress over her head.
Her massive breasts jiggled out of her dress as she swung it over her head. Full, round, and perky, they rested on her chest, jiggling with her every movement.
As she dropped low, Lynn was once again reminded of the delicate curves of her thighs.
Below her thin waist, each side of her birthing hips spilled out in a rich curve. She quietly turned around for a second, flaunting her massive ass. And Lynn swallowed- wishing he could reach for an ass grab
But Shizuka had other plans.
Gently, she knelt behind Saeko. Leaning forward, she reached around, found Lynn's balls and slowly, she began to massage quietly. His heavy scrotum cradled on her small fingers, bouncing along the skin of her palms.
Lynn gasped.
Quietly, not wanting to upstage her, Shizuka gently pulled Saeko away from his cock. Her mouth could no longer take it. As her purple hair fell away, Lynn' dick was revealed in all its majesty.
Under the rays of the filtering sun, it gleamed, shinning from Saeko's mouth's fluids. It's length was staggering, spanning the length of wrist-to-elbow ratio. In thickness, it was as thick as a maiden's calf.
Shock poured from Saeko's eyes as she backed off;
"W-w-when did t-t-that happen???" she gawked in surprise. Her eyes widening, shirking away in shyness; "But it wasn't like that. . ." she stammered.
Saeko, still reeling in shock, watched as Shizuka opened her mouth, slid out her tongue, and licked his cock- from top to bottom, stroking him in wet thrusts, forcing his urethra to bulge out.
Shizuka felt him thicken on her tongue, and moaned as well. She spilled her fluids all over his gleaming length, gifting him generous quantities of each drip. Then, Saeko watched as Shizuka's head arched forward, swallowing his entire length!
Lynn muscled body hardened.
"Yeah," he groaned.
A sharp pang of jealousy tore through Saeko's heart. Watching them both, it felt like they were made for each other. She eyed Shizuka's massive breasts, her wide hips, her bulging ass, and the unnatural width of her mouth.
Trying to mask her jealousy, she whispered hoarsely;
"Make room Sensei, I want to suck Master too.."
Shizuka then proceeded to shock Saeko. In one smooth movement, she sprang up to her feet, climbed into bed, and swung her voluptuous body on top of Lynn, placing them in a sixty-nine position.
Her face, breasts, and front, faced Lynn' cock. While her massive butt literally faced his head. With his torso buried beneath her twin massive thighs, she tied her blonde hair in a neat bun.
And before she leaned forward, she shared a look with Saeko.
Saeko immediately got the message.
So, Shizuka fell forward, collapsing her mouth on his cock, while Saeko dropped to her knees between his legs, taking his balls in her mouth. Together, they sucked and sucked.
In soft clucking noises, Saeko's soft tongue cradled his balls. She flattened her tongue, curled it upwards, picked up his scrotum, and fucked him with her tongue. She switched between each ball, letting her moist lips cushion the skin, while her wet tongue massaged him gently.
Lynn, out of breath, fought to keep his cum in.
Hot, raw, tingling sensations, shot up his urethra, contracting and retracting.
"FUCK I'M GONNA CUM..."
Both of them, in their soft voices, lowered their mouths onto his organ. With their delicate milky bodies, they pressed up against him, filling the air with their slippery moans.
"I'M CUMMING..." Lynn announced briskly.
Out of his control, the first few drops of pre-cum spilled out. In uncontrollable spurts, the white liquid trickled out. Eagerly, the Shizuka's instincts took over.
The hot vibrations of his rod forced out his juice.
Expertly, she arrested his cock with her tongue, sucking ferociously on the tip. Stroking his base with her hands, she kept thrusting aggressively up and down, squeezing on his dripping cock.
Saeko felt the energy of his orgasm.
It choked her. It made her feel powerful. It made her hornier.
Her tongue under his balls, circling it in planetary orbits, squeezing it between the inner walls of her mouth. Tugging softly, as if forcing it to make more semen.
She kept slurping, contracting her cheeks.
Slurp! Slurp!! Slurp!!!
The wet echoes filtered rose from their slippery mouths, filling the room with erotically charged notes.
At calculated angles, with alternating grips, Shizuka's head slipped up and down, tightening her jaw. Gulping at the back of her throat, she took a deeper plunge and the hot fluid burst right through!
"uHhhnn-hhHHnn~ "
A savage moan, hungry and eager, erupted from her gut.
From collar bone to bouncing breasts, right down her back, tinged in expectation, Shizuka's whole body shook. Lynn wasn't left out. On the bed, his back arched forward, attempting to rise. But her upside-down naked butt kept him pinned him.
So, with one woman laying on top of him, and with another coiled between the base of his feet, both panting, both naked, Lynn' fast breathing chest rumbled under the weight of Shizuka's massive ass.
Under the slippery enclave of her dripping mouth, his veined penis gorged and gorged.
"Go... faster.." he commanded.
Wet echoes, splashed in the air.
Both their mouths, in frenzied sucking motions, tugged Lynn to completion. Their heads worked steadily, bobbing back and forth, up and down. Unable to restrain it any longer, thick cream blasted right out of his dick out in rich bursts!
Shizuka's tongue uncoiled like a snake, lapping it up completely!
'It's been so long!' she thought; 'I'm taking it all!'
At some point, her head stopped moving. And her jaws went to work.
Straddling his chest between her thick fleshy thighs, her tongue slammed into his pulsating cock. In a toothless grind, her cheeks, and throat squeezed out his semen in frantic sucks. Saeko, at the base of the bed, felt the strain on his balls and extended her tongue.
The wet sloshing echoed into the air.
Lynn's fingers dug into her buttocks. His head arched backwards. And both his lips quivered. He couldn't control his throbbing penis. It filled her throat, extended down her oesophagus, nearing the base of her stomach, gushing and sending flashing electric tingles through the length of his groin.
'Phenomenal...' Lynn thought to himself; 'Absolutely phenomenal...'
He let his head fall back, crashing softly into the white hospital sheets. The slit of his eyes began to widen. His beating heart kept pounding. His fingers eased up, ready to surrender his orgasm to Shizuka .
Light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
'Wait,' he thought; 'I can't leave Saeko out of this...'
"Saeko," he growled, reaching for her head; "Come here."
Gratitude bloomed on her face. Eager eyed, and still on her knees, she lifted her head up.
"Open your mouth. . ."
She did.
"There, like this..." his other hand separated her jaw, while his left hand rested on her head.
With his face red and puffy, he held his spewing dick at the base, angling it down to her open mouth. Saeko moaned as the first drops slammed into the back of her throat. Jealousy flashed in Shizuka's eyes.
"Her mouth's too small Master. . ." she announced quietly; "Here, let me help you.."
Before he could react, she slipped behind him and reached around for his cock. As her massive breasts crushed against his muscled back, she began to tug him with both hands. Lynn growled, pouring his seed into Saeko's tiny mouth.
Together, in the sun filled room, all three of them growled to ecstasy. The brilliant whiteness of the room illuminated their youthful bodies. Raw energy, like a sea of lightning, charged the air.
"Uh-hh-h-hhhh. . ." Saeko moaned, mumbling nonsense- grappling with his throbbing dick.
Lynn, with his head arched backwards, hair fallen backwards, and eyes closed, felt the rippling surge of hot semen. He had never felt it like this before. Shizuka, behind him tugged on his cock, feeding him her warm body from behind, occasionally twisting his nipples, forcing his hardening cock to jerk and jerk.
Suddenly, Saeko coughed.
Shizuka's eyes flared.
Lynn growled;
"Swallow it..." he commanded, digging his hands into her purple hair. "Don't be scared, you can swallow it."
"Master.." Shizuka whispered directly into his ears. "Saeko looks like she's going to waste it. Let me–"
"Open your mouth," he said to Saeko, ignoring Shizuka. "Yeahhhh, just go with it. . .that's it. . .now swallow. . .swallow–"
Barely half of his cock had entered her mouth. But he didn't mind. He could feel his orgasm waning. But, Shizuka' hands kept stroking the lower half, artfully squeezing his dick to completion.
"Ah, yes," Lynn mouthed quietly.
A gust of cold breeze swept through the parted glass windows.
"Fuck..." Lynn sputtered, feeling the last strain of his orgasm stretch his cock wider. Saeko's soft lips encircled his tip, kissing it in wet sucks.
They must have seemed like an odd trio.
Lynn, with his pants down was seated at the edge of the bed, eyes half closed, and massive cock dangling out.
Saeko, naked as daylight, was crouched between his legs, on the ground, on her knees, with half of his cock in her mouth, and her hair sprayed across her shoulders.
And finally, Shizuka with her thick voluptuous body, was on her knees behind him, straddling his cock from behind, pressing her full round breasts against his back, letting him feel her hard pink nipples.
'Shit,' Lynn exhaled. That was insane.
Chapter 33: The World Is So Unfair
That day.
The midday sun was particularly dazzling.
Lynn walked down from the second floor, feeling refreshed.
The living room on the first floor.
When Rei and Saya saw Lynn, their expressions became rather strange.
Their faces were flushed, and they avoided looking at him directly.
Three people.
For such a long time.
It was too chaotic!!
…
By the time it was almost three in the afternoon, Lynn had returned to the main world and used the world anchor left by the [Devil's Summoning] to establish a passage to the High School of the Dead world within the Supernatural Investigation Club.
Of course, this passage could only be activated with Lynn's consent.
Under normal circumstances, it appeared to be nothing more than a normal door.
Even if outsiders saw it, they wouldn't find anything unusual.
Even if someone walked through it, they would only emerge on the other side of the door, without actually crossing into another world.
After setting things up, Lynn @'d Utaha and Miko in the chat group, instructing them to gather at the Supernatural Investigation Club after school.
Then, he used Teleportation Magic to head to the shopping district.
He bought two mobile phones and registered two additional numbers.
These were for Saeko and Shizuka. Once they joined the Peerage Chat Group, it would be easier to keep in touch.
By the time Lynn returned to the Supernatural Investigation Club, Utaha and Miko had already arrived.
Utaha gave him a resentful look and said in a quiet voice,
"You're finally willing to come back?"
Lynn rubbed his chin and replied,
"Actually, I still have to stay in that world tonight."
Utaha's expression froze. She opened her mouth but failed to speak. Then, all the energy seemed to drain from her, and she collapsed onto the couch like a deflated balloon.
"Utaha-senpai, stay strong!!"
Miko hurriedly shook Utaha, worried that she might pass out from shock.
Lynn glanced at Miko and said, "By the way, you should probably tell your mom that you'll be away for a while too."
"Huh?"
Miko stiffened, standing frozen in place.
Hearing this, Utaha's lifeless expression immediately regained color, as if she had been revived with full HP.
What? So they also had to live in that world?
As long as they weren't too far from Lynn, everything would be fine.
Utaha clenched her fists quietly, her eyes blazing with determination.
She couldn't afford to let anyone take advantage of Lynn.
---
Lynn had planned a training camp for them.
At 3 PM, they would depart from the Supernatural Investigation Club and head to the world of High School of the Dead.
Then, they would slaughter their way forward!
When they got tired of fighting at night, they could rest and return to school in the morning for classes.
A perfect schedule!
Lynn was primarily concerned that they might fall behind Saeko, which could create an imbalance.
Miko was fine, but Utaha was particularly stubborn.
And some gaps simply couldn't be bridged with sheer determination alone.
But at the very least, in these early stages, before Utaha fully recognized her own limits, she couldn't afford to fall too far behind.
Besides, with Shizuka's incredible support abilities, it would be easy for his Peerage to level up.
Earlier, he tested out the "Juicing Mode" with Shizuka, and Lynn had personally experienced its effectiveness.
Especially the absurdly high milk output.
Lynn had tasted half of it at the time, and the effects were outstanding!
Not to mention, it was sweet and delicious.
He had saved the remaining half to use as a stamina recovery item whenever Utaha and Miko ran low on energy during battles.
That way, their stamina would always be fully replenished!
Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be used too often.
While the body wouldn't feel tired, the mind would still experience fatigue.
Once a day was more than enough.
—
After Miko explained to her mother that she'd be staying at a friend's house for a few days, Lynn led them to the portal marked as "Zombie World."
Utaha and Miko curiously examined the dimensional gate.
Previously, when they were chatting in the group, Lynn had mentioned traveling to another world, but since they hadn't experienced it themselves, it never felt real.
Especially Utaha, who had been too busy thinking about how to "get into Lynn's pants" at the time to care about his interdimensional travels.
But now…
Now that they were actually about to cross into another world, they felt nervous and excited.
An entirely different world!
Although, judging from the pictures Lynn had posted before, it didn't seem like an ideal world…
But still, this was their first time traveling between worlds!
"Are you ready?"
Lynn asked.
Utaha and Miko took deep breaths, their expressions becoming serious.
"Ready!" ×2
—Buzz!!—
A brilliant white light flashed across the Supernatural Investigation Club.
And then, nothing remained.
---
Zombie World – Minami Rika's House
The temporary base for Lynn's Peerage.
A white light flashed, and Lynn, along with the others, suddenly appeared in the living room.
Rei and Saya, who had been waiting for some time, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
Earlier, when Lynn had suddenly vanished, they had already been astonished.
Now that he had reappeared, bringing two new people with him, they were even more stunned.
At that moment, their minds raced with countless thoughts.
Lynn… could actually travel between worlds?!
Did this mean that Lynn wasn't originally from their world?
Or even more shocking.
Was all the supernatural power they had seen so far actually brought by Lynn?!
After all.
Other than Lynn, Saeko, and Shizuka, no one else in this world possessed supernatural abilities.
At that moment, they felt as if they had uncovered the truth!
No wonder Saeko and Shizuka respected Lynn so much.
No wonder they called him Master.
It all made sense now!
Their gazes slowly shifted toward Lynn.
Then, another realization struck them.
When they had first met at Fujimi Academy, Lynn hadn't been wearing the school uniform.
This further reinforced their speculation.
If Saeko and Shizuka had gained their supernatural powers through Lynn…
Then…
Did that mean they also had a chance?!
Their eyes burned with determination.
They desperately wanted to join Lynn's Peerage!!
As the white light faded, Utaha and Miko looked around curiously.
"It doesn't seem that special?" Utaha murmured.
"Welcome to the temporary base of our Peerage in the 'Zombie World.'"
Lynn declared.
He had personally named this world "Zombie World" as its codename.
Saeko had found it quite fitting.
After all, this world was overrun with zombies.
Hearing this, Utaha's gaze immediately fell upon Saeko.
…
That sneaky cat scent…!!
She subtly examined the four girls present, and her eyelids twitched.
The girls in this world eat too well, don't they?
What was with this ridiculous figure that was comparable to Rias and Akeno?!
Utaha, once again, felt utterly defeated by reality.
Hehehehe…
The world is so unfair.
Utaha fell into deep self-doubt.
"Hello, I'm Yotsuya Miko, but just call me Miko. I've only recently joined the Peerage, so I can't really be considered a Senpai." Miko hurriedly said.
Utaha quickly regained her composure and spoke in a calm voice, "Kasumigaoka Utaha. Just call me Utaha."
"Busujima Saeko. Just Saeko is fine."
"Marikawa Shizuka…"
…
After exchanging introductions, everyone became more familiar with each other.
Utaha and Miko now had a clearer understanding of their positions.
Among the four girls, only Saeko and Shizuka were officially part of Lynn's Peerage.
The other two—Rei and Saya—were… non-staff members?
But probably not for long, right?
Just look at the way they were staring at Lynn, eager to be marked as part of the Peerage as soon as possible.
Well, at least that was Utaha's interpretation of the situation.
They were clearly just trying to gain power.
What was wrong with that?
Lynn clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Alright, now that introductions are done, you all know each other, right?"
He could sense a bit of awkwardness between them.
But there was no better way to strengthen bonds than fighting together!
"Let's go, time to gain some experience!"
(To be continued.)
Chapter 34: Unnatural Bouncing Frequency
[Saeko Busujima has joined the group chat!]
[Shizuka Marikawa has joined the group chat!]
Before heading out to train, Lynn handed the mobile phones he had brought from the main world to Saeko and Shizuka.
The Zombie World was also a modern world.
They weren't unfamiliar with things like smartphones or chat groups.
The only issue was that the networks in their world had long since collapsed.
After joining the group chat, the first thing they noticed was the bold and unmistakable name of the chat group.
Saeko smiled.
She thought the name was quite fitting.
"Amazing! I'm officially part of Master's harem now!"
Shizuka reacted loudly, clearly overjoyed to have joined Lynn's big family.
…These two women.
Utaha narrowed her eyes, studying them carefully.
Did they not have normal modern sensibilities?
When she had first seen the name of the group chat, she had been speechless for a long time.
Women who lived in apocalyptic worlds really couldn't be judged with normal thinking.
---
Leaving the base, the desolate streets stretched before them.
Utaha and Miko halted for a moment, an indescribable feeling rising in their chests.
Blood splattered the ground.
And—
Zombies.
The thick, putrid stench assaulted their senses, making the air feel heavy and oppressive.
Utaha and Miko felt physically uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Saeko and the others remained completely unfazed.
After all, they had seen this kind of scene countless times.
Even Rei and Saya, who were in charge of logistics, had already grown accustomed to it.
"What, are you two okay?"
Lynn, leading the group, turned back to check on Utaha and Miko.
Huff—inhale—
"Cough! Cough!!"
They took a few deep breaths, trying to steady themselves.
Only to be choked by the overwhelming stench.
They covered their noses and forced themselves to respond, "N-No problem!"
—
We can't lose to Saeko and the others!
This was Utaha's thought.
We can't let Master Lynn down!
This was Miko's thought.
Lynn, seeing their resolve, gave an order:
"Saeko, make some noise. Attract some zombies."
"Yes, Master!"
Saeko unsheathed her sword and swung it at a nearby building.
Boom!!
A three-story structure several meters away was instantly sliced open, leaving a deep, narrow gash.
Chunks of the wall crumbled, crashing to the ground with a loud bang.
Lynn observed the result.
A low-level Devil could only achieve this much.
Utaha, meanwhile, took note of Saeko's abilities.
That flying slash… Was that her power?
Hmph. It doesn't seem like much.
Her [Archivist Devil] abilities were still superior!
This round—Kasumigaoka Utaha wins!
—
The sound had shattered the eerie silence of the streets.
A moment later.
Zombies began to appear, drawn to the commotion.
"Are these… the living dead?"
Seeing zombies up close for the first time, Utaha and Miko felt a shiver down their spines.
"No, they're full-fledged zombies!"
Saeko licked her lips, excitement flashing in her eyes.
"Alright, let's start!"
She rushed forward without hesitation.
Damn it.
Utaha refused to fall behind.
Even though this was her first time facing a zombie, she had already fought cursed spirits before.
So what if they were zombies?!
Besides.
She couldn't let that sneaky cat outshine her!
Determined, Utaha stepped forward.
She summoned the Devil Tome.
"Lightning Strike!"
Boom!—
A brilliant blue lightning bolt shot down from the sky, striking the zombies directly!
Seven or eight zombies collapsed instantly, no longer able to move.
Seeing her success, Utaha's nerves relaxed.
She even snuck a glance at Saeko with an air of smugness.
Heh. Lightning magic. Pretty cool, right?
Saeko smiled and praised her:
"Very strong ability. As expected of the first member to join the Peerage."
"…"
Utaha felt like she had punched cotton.
This woman… had no reaction at all?!
Saeko, ever calm, reminded her:
"The weak point of zombies is the head. Aim for the head, it'll be easier."
"…Thanks for the tip."
Even though she had her reservations about Saeko, she still appreciated the advice.
She just felt a little awkward.
After all.
She was the first.
The first to meet Lynn.
The first to become part of his Peerage.
"Utaha, don't forget to train your other stats."
Lynn's voice reached her.
Utaha sighed. "Yeah, yeah…"
She shut the Devil Tome.
---
Evening
Bang!
Utaha smashed a zombie's skull with the Devil Tome.
She paused, staring down at the book.
Did she still need this book?
Devil Tome: @#%...%￥
It was definitely covered in filth by now.
Utaha sighed.
Thankfully, the magic aura wrapping around the book kept it from actually getting dirty.
It just looked disgusting.
"Ughhh…"
Another zombie lurched toward her.
She raised her book to attack.
But then her vision blurred.
Her magic power was nearly drained.
—Whoosh!—
A sharp sword slash cut through the air, instantly decimating the zombies in front of her.
Utaha turned to see the culprit.
…That damn sneaky cat.
"Thanks."
After fighting together for a while, they had gotten used to each other's presence.
But a sneaky cat is still a sneaky cat!
Utaha's gaze drifted downward.
To "that" which shook seven or eight times per second.
Utaha muttered under her breath, "That ridiculous shaking frequency could win a Guinness World Record."
Saeko: "?"
"Utaha, take a break. Recover your strength."
"Huff—"
Utaha exhaled.
She was indeed getting tired.
She could still fight, but keeping the Devil Tome active continuously drained her magic.
She looked up at the sky.
Today had been the most intense day of her life.
Endless zombies.
Just making noise would attract waves of them.
Even more than cursed spirits.
This place was a perfect training ground.
She had lost herself in the battle, fighting for three hours straight!
"Here, use this."
Saeko handed her a can of milk.
"What's this?"
Utaha took it, looking suspicious.
"It restores stamina."
Saeko's expression was a bit complicated.
She and Lynn had tested it earlier in the day.
The results had been outstanding.
Utaha hesitated.
With that expression, this couldn't be good.
"No thanks, I'll just replenish my magic instead."
"Replenish… magic?"
Saeko looked confused.
What did she mean by magic replenishment?
Utaha ignored her and scanned the area.
Found him.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been holding back all night.
Time to collect some interest!
She strode up to Lynn.
Her wine-red eyes shimmered mysteriously.
"Master… my magic power is running low…"
(To be continued.)
Chapter 35: Girl Turn Over
"Master, I don't have enough magic power…"
Although Utaha was mainly trying to regain some advantage over Saeko, this "asking for a kiss" posture still made her cheeks heat up.
Lynn glanced at the cans of milk carried by Rei and Saya, who were handling logistics.
Then, he looked back at Utaha, who had a puppy-like expectant gaze.
Forget it. I'll handle it myself.
After all, his saliva had the same effect.
Lynn increased the dosage and activated the body fluid recovery effect of [Recovery Devil].
"Mmmph~!!"
Utaha's eyes widened slightly.
"Ahhhnn~ Haa~ Gulp!"
Master's lips are so… tasty.
"It's filling me up~"
Not just magic power, her stamina and physical strength were also recovering?
Had Lynn's magic replenishment skill been upgraded?
Even though she was now fully recovered, Utaha couldn't help but feel curious.
But more importantly, she had something else on her mind.
Utaha wiped her lips and returned to Saeko's side.
She swiftly eliminated a zombie, showing no signs of fatigue.
"How's that?"
Utaha boasted, "Magic replenishment is pretty useful, isn't it?"
Saeko suddenly realized something.
"So that's magic replenishment?"
She remembered how last night, when she had been on the verge of exhaustion, she had suddenly regained the strength to go another round after Lynn "replenished" her.
Could that have been… a form of magic replenishment?
Saeko nodded.
"Magic replenishment… It really is useful!"
Utaha: "???"
Damn it!
She suddenly remembered, this woman climbed into Lynn's bed last night!
Just "magic replenishment"?
She and Lynn definitely did this and that…
This woman!!
Utaha gritted her teeth.
"Utaha."
Saeko suddenly spoke.
"I sensed it just now."
There was a strange hostility coming from Utaha.
Not the feeling of an enemy.
More like… a love rival?
"You like Master, don't you?"
Saeko smiled gently.
Utaha was startled for a moment, then answered frankly:
"Yeah!"
"Then you can relax."
Utaha: "?"
What does she mean by relax?
Saeko smiled, saying,
"I'm here to join you, not to fight against you."
Utaha froze.
Ahhhhh, this sneaky cat is definitely the type that men love!
She could even say something like this without hesitation.
But—
She was wrong about one thing.
Utaha sighed and said gloomily:
"You've got it backwards. I'm the one joining you."
"?"
Now it was Saeko's turn to be confused.
"You and Master…"
"Yeah, you were ahead."
…So, she was first?
Saeko's expression brightened with joy.
"Tsk!"
Utaha pouted in dissatisfaction.
She knew Saeko would react like this after finding out.
Even though everyone would eventually be "devoured" by Lynn, no one could have him all to themselves.
But hierarchy still mattered!
She had already missed the first place.
But it was her own fault for not taking the opportunity sooner.
Now that they had talked things out, the tension between them eased significantly.
…
And then, Utaha received terrible news.
"WHAT?!"
"Second place is also taken?!!"
Plop!
Utaha collapsed to her knees in defeat.
Miko, who had witnessed the entire conversation, gave a simple evaluation:
"Saeko— a dignified lady with a noble presence!"
"Utaha— a tragic loser."
…
It was already late at night.
The girls were completely exhausted.
Tonight, they had gained a ton of experience.
Both Utaha and Miko had truly felt the intensity of this world.
"What exactly is in that milk?"
Miko muttered, feeling nostalgic.
She had nearly collapsed from exhaustion, but after drinking a can of milk, she had been instantly refreshed, and even managed to keep fighting.
"Hmm…"
Hearing Miko's question, Shizuka's face flushed red as she instinctively hugged her chest.
Saeko's eyes also turned subtle.
"Hmm?"
Miko looked at them in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing."
Saeko shook her head.
"It's definitely a recovery item."
…As for how it was made—she could find out on her own.
…
Lynn's bedroom.
Saeko had specially prepared it for him.
The biggest room in the house.
Not only spacious, but the bed was huge.
…Perfect for everyone to update their Blessings together.
"Whee~!"
Shizuka was the first to strip down completely, leaving only a pink panty.
She jumped onto the bed, her soft curves bouncing slightly.
Then, she buried her face into the plush mattress, took a deep breath, and then flipped over, lying face up, waiting for Lynn to update her Blessings.
Saeko didn't hesitate.
She also stripped down to just her panties.
Purple.
They had already done everything there was to do with Lynn, so there was nothing to hide.
She showed everything openly.
Of course—
Seeing Utaha and Miko's dumbfounded expressions, Saeko felt the need to explain.
"My clothes got a bit dirty while killing zombies. If I don't take them off, I'll end up dirtying Master's bed."
Dirty?
Utaha and Miko looked at their clothes, practically spotless.
Heh…
We don't believe you.
Utaha's expression became shifty.
"Y-Yeah, that's true."
"My clothes do feel… a bit dirty."
Her voice trembled slightly, but her hands didn't stop moving.
She took off her top.
When her hands reached her bra clasp, she hesitated but then glanced at the completely bare Saeko and Shizuka.
She gritted her teeth.
Screw it!
The black lingerie slipped off.
Utaha felt her entire body heating up.
Of course, she wasn't as bold as Saeko or Shizuka.
She crossed her arms over her chest and awkwardly slipped off her skirt with one hand.
As for her black stockings, she kept them on.
Saeko and Shizuka had bare legs.
This was her advantage!
"Utaha-senpai, you…"
Miko's tone became complicated.
Didn't we agree to stick together?!
Why did you betray me?!
What was she supposed to do now?!
Miko stared at the three on the bed, feeling completely out of place.
Didn't we just come to update our Blessings?!
Why did it turn into this?!
And—
Isn't Blessings supposed to be updated on the back?!
Shizuka-san, why are you lying face-up?!
Miko resisted the urge to complain.
After hesitating for a while, she finally sighed, took off her shirt, lay on the bed, and unfastened her bra.
Lynn saw that everyone was ready and began updating their Blessings one by one.

Next, it was Utaha's turn.
Lynn looked at her, lying face-down like an ostrich.
…This girl.
Had she forgotten how Blessings was updated?
Lynn raised his hand and smacked her firm backside, still clad in black.
"Utaha, turn over."
(To be continued.)
Chapter 36: Perky Traits (BONUS)
"Hmmn~"
A sharp sound echoed from the bedroom.
Utaha felt a burning sensation on her buttocks, making her tremble uncontrollably.
Then, she remembered—her Blessings had been inscribed on the front.
Feeling shy, she turned her body slightly.
In doing so, she locked eyes with Miko, who looked at her in utter disbelief. Utaha's gaze wavered, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.
So embarrassing!
Miko hadn't expected that Utaha, who had suggested she inscribe her Blessings on her back had actually chosen to have hers on the front!
Utaha-senpai…
Miko's expression grew complicated.
"Your hand. Move it."
Lynn reminded her again.
"Hmm…"
Utaha shuddered once more. She hesitated, then finally turned her head away, closed her eyes, and—her eyelashes trembling, slowly lowered her hand.
With their restraints gone, her soft, full breasts spilled freely to the sides, rosy nipples standing perked and inviting.
As Lynn updated her Blessings, his gaze lingered on her perky breasts, appreciating their perfect shape and firmness.
He had already seen Saeko and Shizuka's before.
But Utaha's… they had their own distinct appeal.
Each had their own charm, after all.

Once their Blessings had been fully recorded, Lynn said, "It's done."
Hearing his words, Miko and Utaha hurriedly put their clothes back on.
Saeko and Shizuka remained as composed as ever, but for Utaha and Miko, regaining their composure was proving difficult.
The four girls received their Blessings records from Lynn and immediately checked their progress.
Lynn, too, analyzed their current states.
There wasn't much to say about Shizuka, she was a support-type devil, so it was natural that her stats weren't growing as quickly.
Besides, this was only the first day.
That said, even as a devil, she still had some combat ability, just not as pronounced as someone like Saeko.
As for Saeko, there was no need to explain.
With her ability, [Yearning for Killing], her stats naturally outpaced most others.
Utaha had also killed quite a few zombies tonight.
That was commendable.
Compared to before, her improvement was impressive.
That being said, as part of Lynn's Peerage, she had already been surpassed by Saeko.
Then there was Miko.
While her performance tonight wasn't bad, her [Spirit-Seer Devil] ability had almost no effect in this situation.
By comparison, Miko was clearly more suited for worlds with Cursed Spirits.
For now, she would just have to focus on improving her fundamentals in this world.
The girls, satisfied with their progress, felt their efforts had paid off.
But when Utaha glanced at Saeko's stats, her expression froze.
"You… are you sure you only joined Lynn's Peerage yesterday?"
Saeko smiled and nodded.
Utaha: "…"
"Ah…!" Miko gasped. "Utaha-senpai looks pale again!"
Utaha let out a pained cry.
"Yearning for Killing—how is an ability this broken even allowed?!"
It was over.
This was an absolute defeat.
In every sense…
---
The Next Day
Yawning, Utaha stepped out of her room.
She was such an idiot. Really.
She had only wanted to stay in this world so she could be closer to Lynn.
But she hadn't expected last night to turn out the way it did…!
As she walked through the house, she could still hear the echoes of Saeko and Shizuka from last night.
Those damn cows!
Utaha clenched her teeth, nearly biting down too hard.
What frustrated her even more was that, despite herself, she had actually listened to those sounds… and imagined Lynn in her mind…
Ah…
She wasn't the only victim, either.
Miko, looking rather exhausted, sighed deeply.
The Blessings update last night had already been shocking enough.
But what followed after?
That was what truly shattered her worldview.
This family… is just…
And when she thought about the fact that she was also a part of this family now…
Miko sighed again.
"Mom… your daughter can't guarantee what she'll become in the future."
(To be continued.)
Chapter 37: Me And The Devil
For the next period of time, Lynn's Peerage followed a simple daily routine, three main activities repeated over and over.
Eating, sleeping, and fighting zombies.
Of course, Utaha and Miko had an extra obligation: school, at least on weekdays.
It was worth noting that Miko only stayed in the Zombie World for a few days before choosing to return home before dusk.
After all, she had a mother waiting for her.
Miko's mother worried if she stayed out too late, and ever since she saw Lynn personally escorting Miko home, she had completely misunderstood the situation.
Now, she believed Miko was living with her boyfriend.
Today.
Supernatural Investigation Club.
Utaha and Miko were preparing to head to the Zombie World as usual.
Since both of them were already familiar with that world, Lynn had no intention of going with them this time.
His exact words were: "As mature Peerage members, you should learn to venture into dungeon worlds and train on your own."
As their master, he couldn't always accompany them.
He had his own matters to handle.
For example…
Lynn's home.
In the living room.
Koneko Toujou leaned against Lynn's chest, watching a defeat screen flash across the TV, disappointment clear in her eyes.
No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't surpass her senpai.
Lynn patted her head and reassured her, "It's okay, you're already very good. You're just one step away from beating me."
Koneko tilted her head back, staring up at him. Her golden eyes flickered. "Senpai, you've said that so many times already."
"Haha, have I?"
Koneko watched him, exhaling softly.
"Forget it. I'm already happy that you're playing games with me."
She stood up, preparing to use Teleportation Magic to return home.
Before leaving, she suddenly paused as if remembering something, then reached into her pocket.
"Oh, right."
She pulled out two items.
"When the Kaichou heard I was coming here, she asked me to give these to you."
"Apparently…"
"Sona gave them to you?"
After Koneko left, Lynn examined the items.
A key and a water magic scroll.
He was slightly surprised, unsure what Sona Sitri was thinking.
To be honest, their first meeting had been anything but pleasant.
And after that day, they hadn't spoken again.
Sona had never followed up about the Rating Game.
Lynn had even been wondering why she hadn't contacted him.
And now, she had Rias pass something to him through Koneko?
Well…
Whatever.
It was already here, no reason to refuse.
He handed the water magic scroll to Utaha to copy into her Devil Tome.
As for the other item…
He picked up the key and examined the address attached to it.
It seemed to be for a high-end apartment.
Looking outside, the sky was overcast, dark clouds gathering.
It looked like it might rain soon.
Since he had nothing else to do, Lynn decided to check it out.
On the way.
A light drizzle had already started falling.
But as a devil, all he had to do was coat himself in magic, and the raindrops couldn't touch him.
Shiki Apartments.
Lynn took out the key and double-checked the location.
"This should be the place?"
He wasn't entirely sure.
Glancing around, he prepared to ask someone.
Then, his eyes landed on a beautiful blonde girl sitting in a nearby park.
There was something… familiar about her.
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
Could she be a character from an anime?
Opening his system panel, he checked, only to see his Evil Pieces flashing wildly.
Okay. Confirmed.
Lynn turned and walked toward the park.
Since he was already here, why not recruit a new Peerage member first?
Click.
Shiina Mahiru sat on the swing, the rain falling around her.
A pair of shoes stopped in front of her.
She blinked in slight surprise, then slowly looked up.
A handsome young man with black hair and crimson eyes entered her vision.
She didn't feel even the slightest bit of unease.
Instead, she instinctively responded, "It's just a hobby of mine. I won't catch a cold, but thank you for your concern."
Lynn: "…"
How practiced is she at this?!
That smooth, automatic rejection left him momentarily speechless.
Sensing his conflicted expression, Mahiru felt a little embarrassed.
Some people had approached her earlier, and she had just… turned them down out of habit.
Now what?
Would it be awkward to take it back?
As Mahiru hesitated, Lynn spoke again.
"It looks like you need some help."
"No, I—"
Mahiru started to refuse instinctively, but Lynn cut her off.
"Maybe I should make it clearer."
His eyes locked onto hers, his crimson gaze deep and unreadable.
"Do you… need a devil's help?"
"Eh?"
Mahiru was stunned.
She who was always called an angel had just met a man who called himself… a devil?
(To be continued.)
Chapter 38: I Want To Be a Bad Girl (BONUS)
"Devil…?"
Mahiru didn't know how to react.
Chuunibyou?
No. If I don't say something, will he feel embarrassed?
She hesitated, feeling a little concerned.
"Wow, so you're really a devil, huh?"
Lynn: "…"
"If you put a little more emotion into that, it would sound much more convincing."
"Sorry."
Mahiru lowered her head apologetically.
Ah… I think I messed up.
Lynn shook his head. It was clear she didn't believe him.
But that was normal.
He had tried recruiting Aoyama Nanami several times before, only to be brushed off.
How could ordinary people, those who had never encountered the supernatural believe in the existence of devils?
After some thought, Lynn took out a long-forgotten Devil Flyer.
This was a tool created by the devils of this world as part of their "sales system."
If someone needed assistance, they could use the flyer to summon a devil and request a commission.
Naturally, the devil would receive an appropriate reward in return.
"If you ever have a problem, just use this and call my name."
Mahiru took the flyer instinctively, then suddenly muttered, "So it's a sales pitch."
Ignoring her comment, Lynn said, "Remember my name—Lynn."
Leaving the flyer and his name behind, he turned to leave.
However, just as he was about to exit the park, he suddenly stopped and walked back.
"?"
Mahiru looked up at him in confusion.
"Do you know how to get to Shiki Apartments, Unit 5011?"
Mahiru: "…I'll take you there."
"That address is right next to mine."
Shiki Apartments, Unit 5011.
"Thanks."
Mahiru shook her head. "It's nothing."
Then, she entered the neighboring unit.
Seeing that, Lynn also stepped into Room 5011.
The moment he opened the door, he was hit with a strong sense of luxury.
"Tsk tsk, as expected from the eldest daughter of the Sitri family—she really went all out."
His eyes swept across the lavish décor and high-end furniture.
Every possible amenity was accounted for.
He wasn't sure if the apartment had always been like this or if Sona had someone furnish it after giving him the key.
Either way…
It was his now. No need to be polite.
"Alright, let's set a teleportation coordinate for this place first."
On the other side.
Because of the rain, Mahiru decided to take a bath to warm up and avoid catching a cold.
As she removed her clothes and placed them in the laundry basket, the Devil Flyer Lynn had given her slipped out.
Mahiru paused for a moment, then picked it up.
Inside the bathroom.
Soaking in the bathtub, she absentmindedly stared at the flyer in her hands.
Could devils… actually be real?
She suddenly chuckled.
What a ridiculous thought.
As if that could be true.
The idea that simply chanting a name could summon a devil, only a child would believe that.
Still…
She recalled his name.
Lynn, right?
Hmph~ Let's expose your trick.
Mahiru focused on the flyer and whispered, "Show up, Mr. Lynn."
The moment she finished speaking, she laughed again.
Laughing at how childish she was being.
But soon…
She couldn't laugh anymore.
Buzz—
A dazzling light flashed within the bathroom.
A glowing purple magic circle emerged from the Devil Flyer.
The next second.
With a loud splash, Lynn materialized and landed right in the bathtub.
Lynn and the completely naked Mahiru locked eyes.
His expression turned complicated.
"…Your choice of summoning location is really something else."
"Ah—!!"
Sometime later.
Sipping on a cup of tea, Lynn casually asked, "So? Why did you summon me so soon?"
Mahiru gave him an awkward smile.
Could she even explain?
She had only wanted to test if the flyer was fake, just a little experiment.
Who would have thought it would actually work?!
And…
Mahiru hesitated. "Mr. Lynn… are you really a devil?"
"I am."
Lynn shrugged. "Besides, didn't you see it for yourself?"
"It's just… hard to believe."
Mahiru's thoughts were a mess.
Devils actually exist…
But Lynn didn't seem like the demons in legends.
Weren't devils supposed to be evil?
Yet, Lynn was not only handsome, but he also didn't seem dangerous at all.
"Well? Have you thought about it?"
"…Thought about what?"
Mahiru blinked.
"A commission."
Lynn gave her a look.
What exactly did this woman summon me for?
Just to let him watch her bathe?
Was this some kind of exhibitionist stunt?
Mahiru finally realized.
A commission…
She absentmindedly fiddled with her hair.
What should I do?
Wouldn't it be bad if I called him here for nothing?
Ah… actually, there is something.
A shadow crossed her eyes as she recalled something.
Her mother had lectured her again today.
She had always tried so hard to be a good child…
Why couldn't her parents love her?
Taking a deep breath, she looked at Lynn with determination.
"Mr. Lynn, please teach me how to be a bad girl!"
"I've had enough of this 'angel' act."
(To be continued.)
Chapter 39: Falling Doesn't Matter
"Bad girl huh…"
Lynn thought about it.
There were many ways to go down a "bad" path.
But could Mahiru really handle it?
After all, it was easy to be bad when you weren't good in the first place.
Why not take it a step further?
Lynn's crimson eyes flickered slightly. "If you want to be bad, how about becoming a devil instead?"
"Huh?"
Mahiru blinked in surprise.
"A devil… like Mr. Lynn?"
"That's right."
Lynn nodded.
"When it comes to being 'bad,' devils fit the role perfectly, don't they?"
It was practically a professional match.
Mahiru pondered this for a moment, a hint of curiosity surfacing.
She had always been called an "angel" but what would it be like to truly become a devil?
However…
"If I turn into a devil, will I look weird?" she asked hesitantly.
"Do I look weird?"
Lynn met her gaze, waiting for her to examine him carefully.
Unable to hold his gaze for long, Mahiru turned her eyes away slightly.
"Alright then… I want to become a devil!"
…
She agreed so easily?
Lynn was a little surprised.
Normally, when someone heard the word "devil," they'd at least react like Miko did, maybe even get scared out of their mind.
But Mahiru simply smiled and explained, "That's because Mr. Lynn doesn't seem like a devil at all."
Even though he called himself a devil, he was nothing like the ones from myths and legends.
Besides…
As a human, she had never really felt happy.
If she changed… would her life be different?
She wanted to find out.
However…
"Let me clarify first, once you reincarnate as a devil, you'll become part of my Peerage," Lynn said.
"Peerage?"
Mahiru tilted her head in confusion.
Lynn briefly explained the concept of a devil's Peerage and what it meant to be part of his family.
"I see."
Mahiru's cheeks flushed slightly.
"Becoming a devil means I have to give everything to Mr. Lynn…"
She hesitated.
Giving everything to a man she had only met half a day ago?
And a devil at that?
She had no idea what would happen.
"Does Mr. Lynn really need a Peerage member like me?" she asked quietly.
Lynn immediately responded without hesitation.
"Of course!"
"Mahiru, I need you!"
Mahiru froze.
For the first time…
She felt truly needed.
Her breath quickened as she placed a hand over her chest, feeling her heartbeat race.
She couldn't help but recall her mother's words.
"You're a child nobody wants!"
No, Mother…
From now on, Mahiru was wanted by someone.
And after reincarnating as a devil, maybe she could finally leave that unhappy bloodline behind.
"Mr. Lynn, I entrust my future to you."
Lynn smirked slightly.
Peerage +1.
That was unexpectedly easy.
Though he didn't realize it, Mahiru's mother had played a key role in this.
A little rebellion had sparked inside her.
The so-called "angel" was ready to fall.
…
Inside Mahiru's bedroom.
She lay on the bed, blushing as she exposed her back.
"Why do devils have to show their backs when reincarnating?!"
"Well… you could choose the front instead," Lynn offered casually.
He was all about giving people choices.
Mahiru immediately refused.
"No! That's definitely unnecessary!"
She buried her face into the covers, her ears burning red.
For a brief moment, she questioned whether becoming a devil was the right decision.
Is this Peerage really normal…?
But before she could rethink her choice, the Evil Piece entered her body.
"Hmmmnn~!"
She could feel the change.
Heat surged through her, power welling up from deep within.
And then.
Whoosh.
Two black wings unfurled from her back.
A tail with a heart-shaped tip flicked out.
"This is…?"
Mahiru's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She reached out to touch her tail.
And instantly shuddered.
Her fair skin turned pink in an instant.
Her breathing grew unsteady, and she hurriedly retracted her wings and tail, her face burning.
She sneaked a glance at Lynn.
Did he… notice what just happened?
Thankfully, he seemed preoccupied with checking her status.

Lynn stared at her status with a subtle expression.
[Angel Devil].
A fusion of fallen angel and devil abilities.
What kind of absurd skill is this?
But…
Ding! You have obtained the skill [Angel Devil]!
Lynn raised his hand and channeled a bit of magic.
Buzz.
A strand of light-attribute magic appeared.
He reached out and touched it…
There was no burning sensation.
His expression shifted.
Wait a second.
So, as a devil, not only did he not take extra damage from light-based attacks.
He could use light energy to attack other devils?!
Hiss—
Lynn took a sharp breath.
A single skill had completely erased his greatest weakness as a devil!
Light and holy attributes were a devil's natural nemesis.
When facing an exorcist, angel, or fallen angel of equal strength, a devil was at an inherent disadvantage.
But now, with Mahiru's existence.
That weakness was completely nullified.
This was huge.
Angels were amazing.
Angels were great!
…Wait, did this mean he could pretend to be a fallen angel now?
"What's wrong, Mr. Lynn?"
Mahiru looked at him curiously.
"Mahiru… you're really my lucky star!"
"Hmm~"
Flushed from the unexpected praise, Mahiru looked both embarrassed and pleased.
After copying her Blessings, she dressed and checked her status.
Lynn had just explained the Blessings system, so she skipped straight to her skill list.
"Angel Devil…"
Her lips twitched.
Fallen.
Fallen Angel.
Mahiru: "…"
Seeing her stunned expression, Lynn almost burst out laughing.
But he still took the time to explain just how useful the skill was.
"I see…"
Mahiru's eyes widened in realization, then curved into a smile.
"As long as it's useful to Mr. Lynn, that's all that matters."
Who cares about 'falling'?
Falling was great!
She didn't care how powerful [Angel Devil] was.
As long as it could help Lynn, then it was a good ability.
…
As usual, Lynn pulled Mahiru into the chat group.
[Angel Devil has joined the chat.]
"Hmm…"
She noticed the chat group's name.
[Lynn's Peerage Harem Group]
Mahiru stared at the name, completely dazed.
Harem?
Was Lynn's Peerage really… legitimate?
Ding!
Coincidentally, a message popped up in the chat.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: ?
(To be continued.)
Chapter 40: Addiction? (BONUS)
[Lynn's Peerage Harem Group]
Saeko Busujima: Angel Devil?
Yotsuya Miko: Huh? An angel just infiltrated the devil chat group?
Miko, who was currently grinding for experience in the Zombie World, stared at the screen in confusion.
An angel had entered a devil's den?!
Wait… she misread it.
But still…
Fallen Angels were problematic in many ways!
She clearly remembered the Three Faction War recorded in the Basic Knowledge of the Underworld file within the chat group!
Angel Devil: No, no, I'm Mr. Lynn's new Peerage member. He just insisted I use this name for my online handle…
Mahiru's face burned.
She knew this name would cause unnecessary reactions in a chat group full of devils.
But…
She glanced at Lynn's profile.
When Lynn spoke, she couldn't refuse.
"Mr. Lynn, would you like to have dinner together?"
Mahiru's eyes held a hint of expectation.
It had been a long time since she'd eaten with anyone at home.
Lynn had no reason to refuse a meal prepared by his Peerage member.
"It's delicious!"
At the dinner table, Lynn gave his highest praise.
Compared to the instant noodles Utaha made, this was 10,000 times better!
Mahiru's eyes curled into a happy smile.
Meanwhile, in the Zombie World…
Utaha stared at the chat messages.
So, while she was grinding for experience here, Lynn had been out recruiting another woman?
[Lynn's Peerage Harem Chat Group]
Kasumigaoka Utaha: @Sigma Man, Master, I need to replenish my magic.
"Eh~"
Miko, seeing the message from Utaha, immediately got chills.
Then she noticed the way Utaha was glaring at her.
Miko: "…"
"Ahahaha… S-Senpai, I'm going to, uh… level up now!"
Miko bolted in an instant.
"Hmph~"
Utaha scoffed, but the pink tint on her neck betrayed her feelings.
She wasn't jealous.
Not at all.
…
But with another woman added to the Peerage, she did feel slightly threatened.
Her thoughts drifted to the battle suit she had ordered before.
Her face grew even hotter.
The outfit had arrived long ago.
But when she finally checked it, she realized.
The bottom of the outfit could be opened directly!
Who in the world designed something so… "convenient"?!
Ding!
A new message popped up in the chat.
Sigma Man: Shizuka, don't you still have some milk left?
Utaha's lips twitched.
After updating Blessings together, Shizuka's [Recovery Devil] ability had been fully exposed.
Who the hell wanted to drink that kind of thing?!
It was nothing compared to Lynn's saliva.
…
Wait, no!
What was she even thinking?!
That was way too shameless!
On the other side, Miko who had just escaped from Utaha saw the new chat messages and suddenly had a complicated expression.
She remembered how she had once commented that drinking breast milk was something that only happened before the age of two.
Yet now…
Things had somehow spiraled into this.
Or…
Should she try drinking Lynn's saliva instead?
Uh…
Both options felt very questionable.
Miko was torn.

Meanwhile, in the main world, Lynn looked at Utaha's message and felt speechless.
Has this woman been craving my saliva more and more lately?
Whatever.
He needed to take Mahiru to test her [Fallen Devil] ability anyway.
Might as well go.
…
"Eh?"
Mahiru blinked. "Another world?"
When she heard Lynn was taking her to another world, she was momentarily stunned.
Wasn't this pace too fast?
Reincarnating as a devil was one thing…
But immediately traveling to another world?
She never imagined that simply becoming a devil would completely separate her from her past life.
Her once colorless world was beginning to change.
Being a devil is amazing.
Her caramel-colored eyes sparkled with excitement.
Even world travel was possible…
Mr. Lynn was truly incredible.
As she gazed at him in admiration, Lynn activated his magic.
Teleportation Magic—activated.
A flash of purple light.
Lynn and Mahiru vanished.
---
They reappeared inside the Supernatural Investigation Club.
Mahiru's eyes were wide with amazement.
Teleportation!
"Where is this?"
"The Supernatural Investigation Club," Lynn explained. "This is where my Peerage members stay when at school."
He briefly explained things and told Mahiru to report here tomorrow.
That's right.
Mahiru was also a student of Shuchiin Academy, a pure student.
Though her parents didn't treat her well, her family was undeniably wealthy.
Before entering the portal to the Zombie World, Mahiru hesitated.
"Are all of Mr. Lynn's Peerage members leveling up in other worlds?"
"Yeah."
"Okay! Then I'll work hard too!"
Mahiru clenched her fists, pumping herself up.
…
Zombie World.
The moment Lynn arrived, Utaha immediately noticed him.
It was like she had a built-in radar for him.
Her eyes lit up.
Ha!
She had just said that Shizuka's milk was enough, but here he was anyway.
Hmph~
"Alright, let's introduce the new member."
Mahiru bowed slightly, her expression polite.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Shiina Mahiru. Please take care of me."
Utaha's face stiffened.
…
Okay.
So he didn't just come for her.
She suddenly felt a little down.
Lynn had brought Mahiru here for the usual reason, testing a newcomer's abilities.
But…
Since he was here…
