The morning sunlight streamed across his face, warm and gentle, nudging Jack awake.
He raised a hand to block the light and glanced at his watch—8:30 a.m. already.
School… he was late.
He muttered that to himself but didn't bother getting up.
Late or not, who cared?
His right arm brushed against soft, smooth skin. Turning his head, Jack realized Rias was lying beside him, fast asleep.
Ah, right… she had healed him again last night.
Healing required skin-to-skin contact, which meant the process was… intensely intimate. Every time, Jack felt it was a real test of willpower.
Come to think of it, being a demon wasn't so bad after all.
The only problem last night was exhaustion had knocked him out, wasting an opportunity to enjoy some close time with Rias. A bit of a shame.
Smiling faintly, Jack leaned closer and hugged her soft body.
The smooth feel of her skin made getting up even less appealing. After finally breaking through yesterday, he figured this was a little reward for himself.
Ever since that first intimate moment with Rias, Jack stopped holding back. She liked him just as much, never rejecting him.
But then the bed shifted again.
Strange… Rias had been sleeping peacefully just moments ago.
Before he could process it, a soft, dreamy voice murmured, and a pair of pale, delicate arms wrapped around him from behind.
The touch of that skin was unmistakable…
Who else could be in his bed besides Rias?
Jack sat up slightly, and the sight before him froze him in confusion.
"Asia…"
She was in his bed too?
And just like Rias, she wasn't wearing anything…
Wait, wait, wait…
What on earth was going on in this chaotic, early-morning scene?
He tried to recall last night. Besides Rias, hadn't there been another voice nearby?
Before he could think further, he noticed Rias had already woken up.
She was smiling at him.
More accurately, she was smiling at the hand currently in the wrong place.
"Hehe, not behaving first thing in the morning, huh?"
Without moving his hand, she asked with genuine concern, "How's your body? Any lingering pain?"
Physically, he was fine.
The only discomfort was… bone number 207.
Calmly, he used Rias's legs to support the sensitive area, letting out a relaxed breath.
"All good. Fully recovered now."
Rias froze for a moment at Jack's warmth, then began teasingly rubbing her legs together, watching the flicker in his eyes. A mischievous smile spread across her face.
"You naughty boy."
"You've never done this before, right?" Jack asked, smiling lazily, eyes half-closed, looking completely relaxed.
"Instinct, I guess. Just… comes naturally," Rias said, pressing herself closer. Heat radiated from her, and she too felt a deep pleasure from him.
After a while, their bodies shivered slightly, one after the other…
Their eyes met.
"Oh… looks like we need new sheets," Rias said with a playful blink.
"No problem. Plenty of clean ones," Jack said casually.
He gently held Asia's hand at his waist and asked, "Why are you here too?"
"Hehe, why don't you just ask her?" Rias replied with a teasing smile.
Turning around, Jack saw Asia's face, red as a cherry.
"Asia?" he said softly.
"I… I want it too! Only doing this with the president is too unfair!!"
Jack: "…"
Earlier, Jack and Rias had explored each other. Asia had obviously woken up, but since they hadn't considered her at all, she was embarrassed—and stubborn enough not to let go of him.
Seeing her shy, envious expression, Rias stretched lazily, propped her chin on her hand, and grinned:
"After I finished healing you yesterday, she insisted on staying too."
"That's because you just fell asleep right next to Jack…"
Asia, still flustered but unwilling to lose, muttered, "Well… it makes sense. You're gentle and beautiful, so of course Jack would like you…"
She compared herself to Rias, sighing in frustration.
"Look what you've done, Little Asia," Rias said, teasing Jack with a playful glance.
Jack felt completely innocent.
Had he really done anything?
Was this girl actually serious about liking him? Even if she was grateful for being saved yesterday, that didn't mean she'd randomly sleep in the same bed…
"Asia, you're way too easy to win over," he muttered.
"Not true! Jack, you're just… very charming!" Asia shouted back.
Jack laughed quietly, turning to Rias, "Is it my face that's causing all this trouble?"
"Exactly. You're my cutest servant," Rias teased, but her eyes betrayed her, gazing at her lover as she leaned in for a kiss.
Asia's head went dizzy.
"Pr-president… this is so unfair!"
After Rias let go, Asia pounced immediately.
Jack wanted to protest, but Asia covered his mouth, leaving him no choice.
And that's how their morning went…
By almost ten o'clock, Jack, Rias, and Asia arrived at school via the teleportation circle.
No one worried about their tardiness—Rias only needed to notify the student council, and teachers rarely asked questions.
In the clubroom, once Rias had taken care of everything, Jack suddenly remembered:
"Ah… today's the exam."
Rias shrugged, "Nothing we can do. We ran into enemies yesterday."
"Looks like only the three of you won't have to take it," Akeno Himejima said cheerfully, offering tea.
Rias didn't care about the exam but suddenly remembered something:
"Speaking of exams… Jack's strength has already reached mid-level demon, but his rank still needs a promotion test…"
Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Promotion test…?"
"..."
