"Only No. 7 and No. 11 are left now…"
Seeing all the beast vassals gathered, Remilia revealed a satisfied expression.
Even though, with Ren's help, she could easily become the Fourth Primogenitor, and even though Ren was more than willing to raise her strength as his pet, Remilia disliked relying solely on others.
So she cared about the Blazing Banquet far more than Ren did.
Ren understood her feelings and continued silently researching Primogenitor Bloodline Crystals instead of interfering.
Now, seeing all these vassals gathered before her, Remilia couldn't help feeling proud.
Being able to accomplish this in another world was something to be proud of.
"Wow, Avrora, I didn't know you had this many sisters!"
Nagisa held onto Avrora's arm in shock.
After becoming a staff member of Ren's store, Nagisa naturally grew close to Avrora, who visited often.
They had actually met on Gozo Island before, but Nagisa had forgotten, and Avrora seemed to have no memory of it either. Still, their relationship was good.
Nagisa didn't know much about the Blazing Banquet, so all she had been told was that Avrora had many sisters.
Now, with nine girls claiming to be Avrora's sisters standing before her—
Nagisa's expression became priceless.
So Avrora really had this many sisters?
"Ugh… As the demonic Natsuki said, no matter what, I'm always the little sister…"
Pa!
The folding fan descended instantly onto Avrora's head, making her squat while hugging her head.
"What did you call me?"
"Demon…"
"Hmm?"
"The beautiful and kind Natsuki-sama!"
"That's more like it!"
Nagisa scratched her cheek awkwardly and helped the almost-crying Avrora back up.
Poor Avrora… She had been undergoing maid training lately and looked absolutely miserable. No wonder she accidentally called Natsuki a demon…
Not only Avorra—No. 1 and the others were also dressed as maids.
Seeing this, Remilia glanced at Natsuki.
"Natsuki, are you planning to build a whole maid army?"
"Of course. These girls live in my house and don't do a thing to help. They're eating for free—so at least they need to contribute labor to prove they're not freeloaders!"
As Natsuki spoke, she subtly glanced at Remilia and the others.
Yes, she meant them—illegal residents who came to this world and ate and used everything in her house for free.
Instantly, Remilia and everyone else looked guilty. Even Ren turned his head away awkwardly.
Remilia: "Ahem… I will soon be the Fourth Primogenitor. Everything on this island will belong to me, Lady Remilia. Naturally, that includes your house, Natsuki. So I am not freeloading. The island is my property!"
Flandre: "Flandre isn't freeloading. Flandre is still Natsuki-sensei's student, and Flandre can't make money yet."
Ren: "I run a legitimate shop. I don't think that counts as freeloading."
Natsuki: "…"
Flandre and Ren could be excused—Flandre was mentally immature, and Ren had a real business.
But Remilia—
Have some shame!!
Noticing Natsuki's glare, Remilia blushed and turned her head away.
After all, back in the Scarlet Devil Mansion she had infinite funds.
Now, without the mansion, she was completely penniless, and naturally had to live off others.
"So, the remaining two beast vassals go to the Third Progenitor?"
"Right. Giada lost the wager, so I'll handle the remaining vassals to her. Once she finishes, all twelve beast vassals will be complete. After that, I will revive you all. Don't worry."
Saying so, Remilia looked at the gathered vassals.
Unlike before when their eyes were dull and emotionless, they now had expressions of their own.
Just by following different people, the way one behaves naturally changes.
Hearing this, Prote and the others smiled and nodded.
These days they had been having a lot of fun. After glancing at Remilia, Ren checked his limited-time training mission.
The first mission, helping Flandre control her abilities, was already half done. Basically, as long as the second mission was completed, the first one would be completed too. And after finishing the second mission…
The third one would be almost done as well.
The first three missions were already more than halfway completed.
As for the fourth mission… Ren wondered if it would require orange-grade food…
For example, Fou's Crown of Envy gave her an extremely exaggerated increase in power.
Items of that type provided far greater boosts than food…
Wait… boosts provided by equipment itself!
A thoughtful look appeared in Ren's eyes.
If Remilia and Flandre could fully wield Gungnir and Lävatein, would they be able to leap an entire tier? Even if not, it should at least help them reach the transcendent level much faster.
Realizing this, Ren quietly opened his limited-time raising panel.
It showed the status of Remilia and Flandre.
He glanced at the grade of the two divine weapons.
Knock knock knock—
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, interrupting Ren's thoughts, and everyone else subconsciously looked over.
"Sorry to bother you…"
A very soft and gentle voice came from the doorway.
There, a silver-haired girl about Nagisa's age peeked her head inside nervously. From the corner of the door, one could vaguely see a cat head poking out.
Noticing this, Natsuki raised an eyebrow.
"If I'm not mistaken… you're Kanon Kanase, right?"
Although she wasn't from her class, Natsuki knew her homeroom teacher Sasasaki Misaki—they graduated from the same university.
And Misaki was also a certified national attack mage, the Wizard of the Four Fists, known as the Lady Wizard. By the way, Natsuki generally recognized most students at Saikai Academy.
After learning that Flandre would be attending school, Natsuki arranged for Avrora and Flandre to be put into the same class—Misaki's class. When Nagisa recovered, she also entered that class.
"Yes, Natsuki-sensei, hello."
At Saikai Academy, there was probably no student who didn't know Natsuki.
Seeing a familiar teacher, Kanon slowly stepped inside.
She was holding a cardboard box.
Several tiny heads poked out from the box.
Seeing those small heads, Natsuki roughly understood why she had come.
"Honestly, this is what a pet food store should be doing. You keep selling special pet food to those demons—your shop is practically a heretic among pet shops!"
Natsuki couldn't help complaining.
But Ren didn't care about her words.
His eyes were fixed on Kanon.
If he sensed correctly… she had the power of Lucemon inside her.
That was—an angel!?
