"I see."
Ayato nodded in understanding. "If that's the case, then we really should celebrate."
"Right!"
Yuri's face flushed pink. She twisted shyly and sat down next to Ayato.
Although what was going to happen had already happened...
Having others beside her... this was still a first.
Erica and Liliana exchanged glances. They also brought out a bunch of food and slowly approached Ayato.
"King, these are all appetizers made by Erina specifically for you. They're all to your taste."
Erica neatly arranged the food on the table, genuinely seeming to want to celebrate.
But...
Ayato looked down at the bathrobe dragging on the floor, his eyes flickering slightly.
Erica's skills were becoming more and more polished.
Like a sudden clap of thunder from a clear sky.
Not a trace to be seen.
Ayato picked up a takoyaki, ate it, and nodded. "Mm, not bad. Erina's skills have improved again."
Hearing this, Liliana smiled and said, "And these crystal grapes, I think they're very tasty too."
"Okay, I'll try some."
The celebratory atmosphere gradually grew stronger.
…
Downstairs,
Looking at the table full of dishes, Sita's eyes seemed unfocused.
She murmured softly, "So... this is what a celebration means..."
Liliana sat opposite, her body twisting back and forth, muttering angrily.
"Damn it, a few sneaky cats..."
"No, I must endure. This is still my first time..."
"Heh... heh..."
Sita's eyelids twitched as she watched the indignant Liliana.
'This one is also a heavyweight.'
Seeing this, if the timing weren't wrong...
She probably wouldn't hesitate to offer herself.
'At this rate,'
'Wouldn't I be the only one out of place?'
A look of distress appeared on her face.
'But joining in... wouldn't that be a bit...'
She sighed, looking at the stars outside the window, looking particularly melancholy.
She is a Goddess of the Earth!
How had she ended up like this?
But thinking about it carefully, her other companions included an Angel, a Heretic God... well…
Never mind then.
…
More than ten days passed in a flash.
Ayato's life seemed to have returned to normal. He was back to his usual routine of visiting multiple locations.
Basically, he was bouncing between several worlds.
Of course, he spent most of his time in the Black Bullet World.
After all, the endless stream of Cursed Children needing reincarnation was a big project.
It was worth mentioning that Seitenshi's plans were frequently obstructed.
Regarding this, Ayato expressed no opinion.
After all, walls were something you had to run into a few times yourself.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to change her naive thinking.
Today,
Ayato appeared at the Supernatural Service Club.
"King, replenishing."
The moment he appeared, Yukino caught him.
"Okay!"
Ayato smiled slightly, cupping her pretty face in his hands.
Momo: "..."
She sat uneasily, one leg constantly bouncing, looking restless.
'For some reason, Yukinoshita-senpai had been growing more and more unrestrained lately.'
'And recently, my own emotions had been inexplicably irritable.'
'Why is that?'
'Could it be... jealousy?'
She blinked, looking at Ayato and Yukino.
'Th-this couldn't be.'
'It had only been such a short time. Am I already going to fall?'
'It was all that old woman's fault, constantly instilling me with sentimental talk about serving the King well.'
'I was almost getting brainwashed.'
She shook her head vigorously, but somehow, Yukino before her had seemingly transformed into herself.
Her heart began to race.
Smack!
After a moment, Ayato released Yukino.
He looked at Momo. "What, are you low on magic power too?"
"Well, um..."
Momo's gaze darted away. She became almost incoherent.
Before she could answer, she found Ayato's handsome face getting closer and closer.
"Low magic power is a serious problem."
"You can't hesitate with this kind of thing."
Ayato spoke seriously and began to act.
As a Master...
If he couldn't even solve his servants' low magic power, he would be far too incompetent.
"Mmmpph..."
Momo's pupils contracted slightly.
'Well!'
'I was indeed a bit jealous.'
'Admitting it wasn't shameful.'
Thinking this, her hands grabbed Ayato's arms.
…
On the other side.
A complicated look appeared on Yukino's face.
'Well!'
'Even Momo had fallen.'
'My King was truly burdened with deep sin.'
'And as for myself...'
Thinking of something, her breathing quickened.
