Shrine —
"Sister Ena, long time no see! I missed you so much!"
Little miko Hikari hugged Seishuuin Ena's waist with an affectionate and excited expression.
"Hikari, you've grown so tall! Your curse power has also grown a lot. Looks like you've become a qualified little miko!"
Patting Hikari's little head, Seishuuin Ena smiled with admiration.
"Yuri, long time no see!"
"Hehehe… I've already heard about you and the King. Didn't expect you, Yuri, to be so bold!"
Waving at Yuri nearby, Ena teased.
"The King… Ena, don't say that, I didn't…"
Mumbling, the innocent and slow-witted Yuri finally realized what was going on, blushing deeply and denying Ena.
"Hehehe… As expected of Yuri, still as innocent as ever. Just kidding!"
Watching Yuri, Ena laughed sweetly. Although they hadn't met for over a year, her friend hadn't changed at all in some ways.
"Geez, Ena…"
"Have you met Sora? If Sora knew you were here, he'd be so happy. I'll call him right now."
Yuri was a bit speechless at Ena's straightforward personality. Thinking of something, she took out her phone to call Sora.
Recalling the time they trained together in Moriyama, the girls still cherished those memories and guessed the reason for Ena's sudden return. Since declaring their relationship, their hearts were almost entirely tied to Sora, so the first thought was to tell him about Ena's arrival.
"Yuri, not now, okay? Ena is still preparing a surprise for His Majesty the King. You better not tell him now."
Quick as a flash, Ena grabbed Yuri's hand to stop her, smiling cheerfully.
"Alright… since Ena says so."
Seeing that Ena had her own plans, Yuri didn't say more, but in her heart she was sure that Ena's sudden return was indeed for that matter…
"Ena-nee, Ena-nee, do you also know Sora-nii?"
Listening to the conversation between Yuri and Ena, the little miko Hikari grew curious and immediately started shaking Ena of the Seishuuin family, asking.
"Of course I know His Majesty the King, and I'm also His Majesty's…"
Just as Ena was about to answer Hikari's question and say something, the door suddenly opened. A beautiful figure dressed in men's clothing walked in. If it wasn't the long-missing Miss Kaoru, then who could it be?
"Kaoru, I missed you so much!"
Seeing Miss Kaoru enter, Ena's eyes lit up instantly, and she hugged Kaoru tightly, looking very happy and excited.
"You brat, let go of me! You've thrown away all the traditions of the Seishuuin family women!"
With a twitch at the corner of her eye, Kaoru pushed Ena away, looking annoyed.
"Hehehe, don't worry! In front of others, Ena is very ladylike and won't disgrace the family!"
Completely unconcerned, Ena smiled carefree with her bold personality.
"Little girl, here's something for you. Go bring us some water, I'm dying of thirst."
Taking a small gift from her pocket and giving it to Hikari, Kaoru showed no hesitation, then sat down on the bamboo mat and spoke to the little miko.
"Thank you, Kaoru-nee!"
Holding her gift, Hikari cheered and happily ran off to make tea for the three elder sisters.
"Kaoru, what brings you here?"
Ena was one thing, but seeing Kaoru suddenly visit, Yuri asked with curiosity.
"All because of that brat Ena! Here, this is what you wanted."
Pouting, Kaoru looked annoyed as she tossed a thick stack of files to Ena.
"As expected of the head of the Tokyo branch of the History Compilation Committee and the heir of the Sayanomiya family, you've already gathered the information Ena wanted so quickly."
"Thanks, Kaoru!"
Patting Kaoru lightly on the back, Ena eagerly took the thick files.
"It's nothing special. These things were already recorded long ago. I just reorganized and copied them for you."
Feeling at ease, Kaoru said casually.
Looking confused at the two, Yuri had no idea what Ena and Kaoru were talking about. Seeing Ena open the files Kaoru gave her, Yuri glanced over and when she saw the title on the first page: "The Seventh Godslayer Kusanagi Sora and His Lover's Files," her face instantly flushed red. How could she not understand what it meant?!
"Ugh… Kaoru… why are you showing Ena this kind of stuff?!"
Especially seeing the word "lover," shy Yuri was extremely embarrassed and questioned Kaoru.
"Why are you so worked up, Yuri? Don't worry, it's just some intelligence about that bastard and the people around him. It's not what you think."
Kaoru rolled her eyes and said with a look of disbelief.
"You actually want this kind of stuff? So, you really came back for that?"
Tired of Yuri's shyness, Kaoru turned her gaze to Ena.
"Yeah, Ena has completed her training, so she's here to fulfill the original promise."
"Also, Ena received a mission from Grandpa and Grandma, so she came down the mountain."
While looking through the intelligence on Sora over the past year, Ena nodded and replied to Kaoru.
"What? Even that great person is involved?!"
Hearing Ena's words, Kaoru exclaimed in surprise. Even Yuri, no longer shy, showed a shocked and unexpected expression.
As Ena's close friends, the two naturally knew some things about her. The "Grandma" Ena mentioned was the current head of the Seishuuin family, but the "Grandpa" was not Grandma's husband, but the legendary figure said to be living in seclusion in the Netherworld…
"Yeah, Grandpa's orders were for Ena to become His Majesty the King's concubine, and Grandma's orders were for Ena to drive away the other women around His Majesty. And Ena herself has to fulfill the original promise with Sora and become his knight."
"None of these three things conflict, so Ena plans to do them all!"
While continuing to browse the intelligence in the files, Ena said these astonishing words.
"Co… co… concubine!!!"
This time it was Yuri's voice, full of endless embarrassment and disbelief. Even Kaoru twitched at the corner of her mouth, looking like she had seen a ghost.
If Ena had only come to fulfill the original promise and become Sora's knight, the two wouldn't be so shocked, but to think she was also coming to become Sora's concubine!
"This is the mission Grandpa and the others gave me. I can't refuse. And since it's Sora, I don't dislike him, so I accepted."
Ignoring the shocked expressions of the two, Ena answered casually, her bright eyes scanning everything Sora had done over the past year, her face full of excitement.
"Hehehe… as expected of Sora! Not only did he become His Majesty the King, but he also defeated so many gods and other demon kings."
"Let me see… Erica Blandelli, Liliana Kranjcar, the heretic goddess Athena, Sardinia Island witch Lucretia Zola, maid Karen Jankulovski, and Arianna…"
"Awesome, so awesome! Yuri, Kaoru, Sora is amazing! Are these all his current lovers? Even the legendary goddess Athena is among them!"
As if discovering a new world, Ena grabbed the hands of the two, her face full of excitement.
With a twitch at the corner of their eyes, the two couldn't help but turn their heads aside. This time, not only Yuri but even Kaoru's cheeks were flushed red with a strange feeling.
Silly Ena, Sora is clearly an incorrigible pervert, don't act like he's so great and amazing!!
"Hahaha… Yuri found out! So, Yuri, are you also His Majesty the King's lover?"
Seeing the page with the big letters "Mariya Yuri" and some related intelligence, Ena was even more amused and asked Yuri.
"Ena… you… you…"
Being stared at by Ena with such a blatant look, Yuri's embarrassment was beyond words. She wished she could just disappear into a hole.
"Huh… there's no Kaoru's name!"
"Kaoru is so pretty and has an amazing figure. Could it be that because Kaoru always wears men's clothes and doesn't show her feminine charm, Sora didn't notice her? What a big mistake!"
After flipping through again and again, Ena realized that Miss Kaoru was nowhere to be seen. She immediately wore a disappointed expression, pouting as she muttered to herself.
"Damn you, Ena, shut up! I'm the one who looks down on that hateful guy!"
Hearing Ena's voice, Miss Kaoru instantly flew into a rage. Without caring about anything else, she pounced on Ena like an enraged lioness.
"Hehehe, Kaoru, are you jealous?"
"Shut up! I'm not!"
"Hmph, then why are you so worked up?"
"Damn it, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Wah… Kaoru, Ena, stop it, please!"
"Wow, sisters, are you playing a game? I want to play too! I want to play too!"
…
First, Miss Kaoru and Ena were wrestling each other. Then Yuri, the younger sister, tried to pull them apart but got caught up in the scuffle. Next, the little miko, Hikari, walked in with shining eyes and eagerly joined the fray. The whole room was instantly filled with the girls' shouting and playful fighting—so lively and noisy…
