Later that afternoon, Yotsuya Miko and the others finally returned home from school.
"Lord Deity, I don't want to go to school anymore!"
The moment she stepped inside, Yurikawa Hana flung herself onto the sofa, hugging Rosen's arm and whining.
"Why?"
"Because… because…"
"Because Hana just realized that if she doesn't attend classes, she can stay home eating snacks and sleeping all day. My lord, you can safely ignore this unreasonable whim."
Yotsuya Miko dragged Yurikawa Hana away, exasperated.
Only a first-year and already talking about dropping out.
She barely knows her big characters!
"Mmph… I was only joking."
Yurikawa Hana muttered as she was pulled aside.
"Didn't you say you'd grant our wishes? Then I wish I never had to go to school again—how about that?"
"No. That goes against my principles."
Rosen shook his head in refusal.
"Ugh…"
At once Yurikawa Hana deflated like a punctured balloon.
Yet her resilient nature quickly reasserted itself.
"Lord Deity, I've thought of a new wish: I want an endless supply of snacks!"
The instant the words left her mouth, the other girls pounced with retorts.
"Have your snacks ever run out even once?"
"You can buy whatever you want whenever you want—are you short of pocket money or something?"
"Uh…"
Yurikawa Hana scratched her cheek, realizing they had a point.
"Guess that's true."
"Then… I can't think of anything right now."
"If nothing comes to mind, save it for later."
Suhou Yuki stepped eagerly before Rosen, her expression devout. "My lord, you know me—my wish is very simple."
"I… want to go on a date with you, my lord. May I?"
As she spoke, two faint red clouds rose on Suhou Yuki's cheeks.
The other girls froze at her words.
A Date!
That's right! Why hadn't they thought of that before!
"And could it be a one-on-one date, the kind where no outsiders are allowed to disturb us?"
Suhou Yuki looked at Rosen hopefully and asked.
"I feel like that's inappropriate."
Sakurajima Mai frowned slightly.
If you take all the good things, what is she supposed to say?
After hearing Suhou Yuki's wish, besides the Spirits, Yotsuya Miko, Yurikawa Hana, Kamishiro Aie, and Kato Megumi were all moved.
However, Rosen wasn't surprised by their thoughts.
After all, in the current situation, desiring any mundane item was an extremely easy matter for Rosen, who dominated the entire Island Nation.
Once material needs were satisfied, spiritual fulfillment naturally followed.
With so many girls in the house, they naturally wanted a day alone with Rosen.
Putting everything else aside, Sakurajima Mai and Yotsuya Miko both missed the time when they first met Rosen.
After all, there were fewer people back then, and the competition wasn't so fierce.
Sakurajima Mai had even accompanied Rosen to buy this Villa, and that day she had specially dressed up. (For intensely satisfying novels, visit Feilu Novel Network!)
After that, as Rosen contracted more and more girls, opportunities for such solitude virtually vanished.
Although Rosen saw them every day and was willing to take them out for training or relaxation, she still dearly missed that time.
"Sister Eiko, I think you need to take the initiative and not let these youngsters surpass you."
Yozora Hozuki didn't have any particular wish.
Her long-cherished wish had been resolved; her mother's soul was still in her keeping, awaiting the opportunity for revival, and her father had already undergone Reincarnation.
It could be said that her life's wishes were fulfilled, so after dealing with the Soul-Snatchers, she had been living the life of a normal elementary school student.
Occasionally, she would go out to participate in Intensive Training and trials in the Shadowlands.
"Eh? M-me? Wouldn't that be bad..."
Hōzuki Eiko shook her head.
Although she really wanted to go on a solo date with Rosen, she simply couldn't bring herself to suggest it.
"Then you'll just have to be the Bottom Feeder, because, Sister Eiko, your competitiveness here is very weak, seeing as you're so old."
Yozora Hozuki's words struck at the heart, making Hōzuki Eiko start doubting her life.
Meanwhile, Rosen had already agreed to the girls' date requests.
He figured he might as well treat it as recreating the plot of the Date A Live Protagonist, especially since no one would be causing trouble.
Finally, Latifa and Kitagawa Haimu remained.
The former's idea was simple: she would be satisfied as long as everyone could live together peacefully.
The latter, feeling a bit awkward due to the other girls' date requests, hesitantly proposed the idea of having Rosen accompany her to a Anime Convention.
"You want to go to a Anime Convention too? We can go together another day!"
Honjo Tokiya hadn't been here long and had only just gotten acquainted with everyone; she didn't fully understand their personalities or hobbies yet.
As soon as she heard there was someone with the same hobby, she immediately became excited.
"Huh? Does Miss Honjo like Anime Conventions too?"
Hearing this, Kitagawa Haimu, who considered herself a Minor Presence, asked with pleasant surprise.
"Of course, I previously invited the Divine Lord to go to a Anime Convention with me, so next I plan to wait for Tokyo to host a super large one, and then we'll go together!"
Honjo Tokiya's thoughts as an Otaku were simple: the more fellow enthusiasts, the better, especially if they were her companions, which immediately delighted her.
And Kitagawa Haimu, whose Wavelength Matched Hers, readily agreed.
Although she couldn't interject in other conversations, whenever her hobbies were mentioned, she would subconsciously speak endlessly.
"I'm not very familiar with this world yet, can you recommend some manga or anime for me to check out?"
Honjo Tokiya pulled Kitagawa Haimu aside and started discussing.
Rosen watched them, subconsciously recalling that there seemed to be some improper elements in the Two-Dimensional Works Kitagawa Haimu liked.
But he didn't pay it any mind; it would probably be a perfect match, considering Honjo Tokiya was an Ero Manga Artist.
The customary gathering ended.
Every girl had her own things to do after dinner.
And late at night, after some of the tired girls had gone to rest, Rosen welcomed the Yayoi Sisters, who couldn't wait to compete against each other.
Suhou Yuki and Yotsuya Miko also came along to watch the excitement.
