On the yacht!
Watching the direction in which Ayato and the others had disappeared, Doni was speechless.
"Andrea, what do you think of this one?"
After a long while, Doni finally spoke slowly.
That terrifying golden lightning...
Yet there was no fluctuation of Authority.
As a Campione, he could at least tell that much.
If that person had actually used that terrifying lightning, he probably wouldn't have just been seriously injured.
A being unprecedented in history, a Devil who became a Campione, was actually this incredibly powerful.
Andrea shook his head: "I am not qualified to comment on the King."
Doni rolled his eyes: "Andrea, could you be less boring?"
"You're the one who always asks such tedious questions. Regardless, our enemy has never been Campione, but Heretic Gods."
Andrea said helplessly: "At least this King bears you no ill will, right?"
"Haha, that does make some sense."
"I wonder what the other five will think."
…
Kuoh Town!
Ayato's house!
Erica looked at the apartment's environment and spoke: "My King, are you really that eager to live together with me?"
"You are now my servant, so naturally you will live with me."
After parting with Doni, Ayato had used teleportation magic to bring the two women back here.
Incidentally...
Andrea's work efficiency was extremely high.
His magical space was now piled high with supernatural books, enough to keep him reading for a while.
"What do you mean by 'also'?"
Erica blinked and asked suspiciously: "You have other servants?"
"Of course."
Ayato said seriously: "I am a Devil who intends to build a harem. Did you think I was joking?"
"..."
Erica was silent for a moment, then ventured: "My King, how many servants do you have currently?"
"Ten or so."
"All women?"
"How can a harem have men?"
Listening to their conversation, Liliana's expression became strange.
'...Ten or so.'
'That many?'
'Our king was far too depraved.'
"Master, you're back."
Just then, sensing Ayato's presence, Utaha and the other women all appeared.
Hearing this, Erica's gaze naturally fell upon Utaha and the others.
'The king's harem... the quality was very high.'
'This was truly a major crisis.'
Erica's gaze swept over the women, her eyelids twitching involuntarily.
Although she had been talking tough, she had already set her sights on becoming the king's first love.
And now...
Even she, with all her confidence, fell silent.
After all, the difficulty was very high.
"Let me introduce you two."
Ayato pointed at the women: "Kasumigaoka Utaha, Asia Argento, Xenovia Quarta, Shidou Irina, Artoria Pendragon. For now, these five are living here."
Liliana immediately greeted them: "Senpai, just call me Liliana."
Erica also smiled warmly: "Call me Erica. Nice to meet you all."
'This woman... is not simple.'
Utaha's eyes narrowed.
She definitely wasn't mistaken.
This was the scent of a bad woman.
'But fortunately, this one wasn't against the rules.'
'Kasumigaoka Utaha, you will not lose.'
She cheered herself on silently.
After they got to know each other for a while...
Erica also learned the details of the others' identities.
Utaha and the others were nothing special.
But Artoria's identity gave her quite a shock.
'Servants and such...'
'My King was truly resourceful.'
"Alright, now for the main business."
Ayato clapped his hands and said: "I will now grant you all blessings."
"What is a blessing?"
Asia asked, not understanding.
"It means I will share my power with you."
Ayato explained: "Simply put, it's the same method as replenishing magic power."
"Ah."
Hearing this, Artoria, Irina, and Asia's faces turned red.
Speaking of which…
Regarding replenishing magic power...
They had never tried it before.
"Haha, I'll go first."
Utaha, striding on her black-stockinged legs, came right up to Ayato.
Then her entire body melted into Ayato's embrace.
After taking a few deep breaths of her master's scent, she looked up at him with expectant eyes.
Though somewhat shy, Xenovia also wrapped herself around Ayato's arm.
Having already done everything with him, they were naturally more at ease.
"A blessing... I-I want one too."
Irina hesitated for a moment. Though her voice trembled, her movements didn't pause as she grabbed Ayato's other arm.
'So this is Master's scent?'
Irina, touching him like this for the first time, trembled involuntarily.
But she gritted her teeth and stood firm.
Two more women had arrived; she had to work hard no matter what.
Feeling the ocean of softness around him, the corner of Ayato's mouth curled up into a smile.
"Th-this..."
Asia and Artoria fell silent.
'Wasn't this just replenishing magic power?'
'Why were there so many extra moves?'
This put them in a difficult position.
They felt somewhat out of place.
And...
'Kasumigaoka Utaha, why were you moving around so much?'
'If this kept up, it wouldn't be just replenishing magic power anymore, right?'
Artoria and Asia exchanged a glance, sighed, and slowly walked forward.
Seeing this...
Ayato smiled slightly and began granting blessings to the women one by one, starting with Utaha.
"Yes, very fiery. Just as expected of the Essence of a Fire God."
"Xenovia, you've become much bolder."
After granting blessings to the two women, Ayato looked at Irina and the other two.
"Your turn."
"Yes."
The women nodded shyly and closed their eyes.
These three had no experience with replenishing magic power, so Ayato naturally showed more patience.
But during this time, he appreciated three completely different beautiful scenes.
Although he was a professional at replenishing magic power...
Artoria and the other two each had their own strengths.
All had their unique flavors.
After everything was done...
Utaha even indicated that her magic power was insufficient again.
As her master, he naturally had to fulfill his servant's wishes.
"How long... will they be at it?"
Liliana, her face flushed, hesitated: "It seems... never-ending."
"Who knows."
Erica could only smile bitterly.
