Pop!
Ayato released Nikumi.
"Are you sure... this is the correct way to receive a god's Blessing?"
Nikumi's cheeks were flushed red, her body trembling slightly. Although she was looking at Ayato, her eyes were dazed, still in a trance.
"Of course it is."
Ayato said righteously. "It's all written in the magic book I just gave you."
"I didn't lie to you."
Rustle, rustle!
Nikumi picked up the magic book and immediately began flipping through it.
"It's... true?"
Her eyes widened, an incredulous exclamation escaping her lips.
Nikumi's worldview was on the verge of being shattered.
And that "replenishment"...
The name sounded normal enough.
But it was just as absurd as the Blessing.
Was this supernatural world really this improper?
"Come, sign the club application form."
Ayato took out the form again. "From now on, this will be the gathering place for my servants in this city."
"Okay!"
Nikumi took the form, signed it obediently, and then instinctively said, "So, where do we meet after school?"
The moment she said it.
She regretted it.
Damn!
Wasn't she just rushing to throw herself into the lion's den?
"Hmm, that reminds me. It seems it's time to set up activity locations elsewhere."
Ayato stroked his chin and said, "Erina, I'll leave this to you. Get it done as soon as possible."
"No need to go to that trouble."
Erina shook her head and said directly, "I've already prepared it."
"Oh, as expected of my capable servant."
"Hehe, well, sometimes it's inconvenient, you know."
Erina's pretty face blushed.
She had started working on this a long time ago.
After all...
Servants in other cities all had such a place.
Most importantly...
When Master was looking for that homewrecker Rindou, it was also her opportunity.
Hum!
A magic circle flashed.
Teleportation?
Nikumi, experiencing teleportation magic for the first time, was a bit bewildered.
"Not bad, the area is very large."
Ayato surveyed the surroundings and nodded with satisfaction.
This was an apartment.
It was just as good as his own home.
"I originally wanted to buy a villa, but there wasn't one close to the academy, so I had to settle for this."
Nikumi opened the refrigerator. "Water, coffee, or cola?"
"Cola." x4
Ayato took the cola, took a sip, and said, "Where's my room?"
"The top floor. I've already renovated and opened it up. It's all yours, Master."
"Good."
Ayato nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't have high demands for a room.
But it had to be large.
Otherwise, he couldn't move freely.
Just then, Hisako spoke, "Master, can I stay here tonight?"
"Of course."
Ayato nodded.
As the servant quarters in this city, it was only right and proper for him to stay for a day.
Hearing this, Hisako's face instantly turned red.
She fidgeted for a moment, then took a deep breath. "Then, Master... my reward."
"Anything you want. Just ask."
"Okay."
With that, Hisako trotted upstairs.
She had to succeed today.
Otherwise...
Even just among the servants at Totsuki, there were getting to be more and more.
Watching her back, the corner of Ayato's mouth curled up.
Not bad!
New house, new start.
And a good start.
This omen was very good.
"What's... going on?"
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Nikumi was bewildered.
"As a newcomer, you don't understand yet."
"Don't worry, you will soon."
Erina and Rindou patted Nikumi's shoulders, their expressions somewhat peculiar.
"???" Nikumi.
Night fell!
Ayato placed a document on the table.
[Mori Ayato]
[Class: Origin Magician]
[Magic: Origin Lightning Magic LV95 (+)]
[Origin: 119 points]
"With the gains from this period, I've finally leveled up again."
Ayato clenched his fist, feeling his once-again transformed power, his eyes flickering slightly.
But it still wasn't enough.
With the Bald Demon King as his hypothetical enemy...
No amount of preparation was too much.
Creak.
"Master, I'm coming in."
Hisako walked in.
Tap, tap, tap.
Her high heels struck the floor with a clear, crisp sound.
"Hmm?"
Seeing her, Ayato was stunned.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Hisako looked down, blushing. "Is there something strange?"
This time, she was wearing a professional outfit, as if she had completely shed her youthfulness.
As expected of Erina's assistant.
She was the model secretary.
"No, it's very good."
Ayato stood up and pulled her over.
He was already prepared.
Now was the time to fulfill his promise.
