On top of a tall building, a girl stood against the wind.
Long eyelashes, big eyes, a high nose bridge, thin cherry lips—all perfectly arranged on a golden ratio oval face. Her smooth black hair reached her waist, fluttering in the breeze.
Wearing a brown and white uniform skirt and knee-high socks, resembling a nearby middle school's uniform, youthful and energetic, perfectly highlighting her curvy figure.
The girl was beautiful, no doubt. But unlike the gentle and cute type, she exuded a wild and unrestrained aura.
On her back was a long sword wrapped in cloth. Looking down at the city below, her bright eyes flickered with strange light—nostalgia, excitement, but mostly a unique expectation.
"Sora, do you still remember our promise…"
Murmuring to herself, a slight smile curved on her lips.
Brushing her wind-tousled hair, the girl didn't linger and vanished from the spot with a leap…
…
After several hours of flight, Sora and his group finally returned to Tokyo. Yuri had been away from home for a long time, so after greeting everyone, she went back to the Shrine first.
"Onii-chan… where's our house? Where did it go?"
Staring in disbelief, the familiar two-story small house was gone, replaced by a spacious and luxurious villa. Mechanically turning her head, Shizuka-chan murmured to Sora.
"Ahem… girl, the old must go for the new to come. From now on, this will be our home. Look how nice it is."
After coughing twice, Sora held Athena with one hand and gently patted Shizuka's little head with the other.
"Ah… my room!!!"
Snapping back to reality, Shizuka screamed and dashed inside like a flash.
Seeing the little girl's heartbroken expression, Sora shrugged. He had wanted to tear down the old, dilapidated building at home that had stood for decades and rebuild it, but the little girl had stubbornly refused. So Sora took this opportunity during their vacation to settle it once and for all.
He wasn't too worried. Sora knew the little girl well. Although she couldn't accept it now, once she saw her new room, she would be overjoyed!
"Come on, everyone, let's go inside. This will be our new home from now on!"
Waving to the women behind him, Sora carried Athena and led the way inside.
Unlike Shizuka, who was conservative and old-fashioned, the other women cheered and happily bounced around to pick their rooms.
Watching their joyful faces, Sora's lips curled into a slight smile. The household was growing larger, and maybe more people would join in the future. The old small building was definitely not enough anymore.
Besides, both Erica and Liliana came from noble families, having lived a life of luxury since childhood. The Great Witch Zola was another matter, and with Athena, the goddess, living with them, staying in a decades-old small building would be too shabby.
Although Erica never complained, Sora would never shortchange himself or his women in these matters.
Life is meant to be enjoyed!
Looking at his own room, it was splendid and spacious. Especially the huge bed in the center made Sora extremely satisfied. From now on, gathering the Great Witch and Erica for some mischief at night would be no problem!
Well, actually, when he said he wouldn't shortchange his women, it was mostly an excuse for his own wicked plans, haha…
As Sora expected, Shizuka still looked resentful, but there was nothing she could do now but accept it.
Moreover, seeing her newly decorated, luxurious, and cute room, the little girl was secretly excited and pleased.
Two days later, it was the first day of school. Liliana successfully transferred to Jounan Academy, joining the same class as Sora and Erica.
Although not a top national school, Jounan Academy was quite well-known in Tokyo, and it wasn't easy for ordinary people to get in. But for Liliana, it was just a breeze.
Like Erica, this genius girl from the "Bronze-Black Cross" had finished university textbooks years ago and had earned numerous doctorates. Entrance exams were a piece of cake.
"I, Liliana Kranjcar, already have a beloved who promised to always stand by my side through thick and thin. That person is Kusanagi Sora!"
Just like Erica before her, Liliana stunned the whole class with this declaration during her first self-introduction. Sora still remembered the classmates' shocked, envious, jealous, angry, and even murderous looks.
But Sora had a thick skin and didn't care at all, even feeling a bit proud.
Takagi, sitting behind Sora, finally exploded. Having stolen the hearts of all the girls and won the favor of many beautiful girls, this muscular boy saw Sora as the ultimate villain.
Feeling the injustice, Takagi jumped up to challenge Sora to a duel but was knocked out cold by Liliana's punch.
Daring to challenge her king! If not for the fact that he was Sora's classmate, Liliana would have stabbed him with a sword.
Covering his forehead, Sora cast a sympathetic glance at the foaming Takagi. Erica lazily propped her face with one hand, smiling silently. Athena, sitting on Sora, wrinkled her nose and snorted disdainfully, as if not worth bothering with.
As a result, Takagi's seat was taken over by Liliana. According to her, only beside the king was where she could sit. Others had to endure her will.
Well, Takagi was probably hurt both physically and mentally this time. But Sora had some faith in his healing ability; he'd probably be back to full strength soon.
Besides Liliana, Sora had thought about getting a student ID for Athena too. Although she had been attending school with him and Erica for some time, she was still an undocumented student. But after some thought, Sora decided to leave her as a "black market" student. This little genius girl was better kept for doing homework and exams for him.
The little maids Karen and Arianna stayed at home. Like Karen, a genius girl, she wasn't interested in school. After Sora and Erica left for school, the two maids did housework.
Karen also had an extra task from Sora: to train Arianna at home.
Though no one knew exactly how this mischievous and somewhat scheming little girl trained, every day when Sora and the others returned, Arianna looked pitiful and exhausted. She was probably put through the wringer by Karen.
As for the Great Witch Zola, well, she was always lazy and idle, living off others. She acted like a carefree sage who had seen through the world.
Sora thought he couldn't let this demoness be idle all day. She needed something to do; wasting life and food was shameful!
But what could this Great Witch do? Well, besides being bullied and ravished by Sora every night, which didn't count…
In the end, with no better ideas, Sora decided to make the Great Witch a teacher at Jounan Academy!
So, on the first day of the new semester, the whole school buzzed about a stunningly seductive new female teacher who dazzled countless students and teachers.
Yes, she was the infamous "Ruthless Great Witch," named Lucretia Zola, the new homeroom teacher of Sora's class this semester!
It had to be said, this seductive Great Witch was extremely dangerous to the puberty-stricken boys and girls. Seeing the girls' envious and jealous expressions and the boys drooling with desire, Sora shook his head and silently prayed for them.
A group of innocent and pitiful kids, may you keep your true hearts and not be led astray by this ruthless Great Witch, and grow up smoothly to graduate!
May God bless these poor children. Amen…
