Shuchiin Academy, Old School Building.
Yukino Yukinoshita fell into a wordless silence.
She was feeling a bit discouraged.
She even began to fall into self-doubt.
In such a world, someone without abilities like her had no power to change anything at all.
"Miko, keep it up!!"
Yurikawa Hana didn't feel the slightest bit of tension, cheering and shouting for Yotsuya Miko who was fighting on the side.
Being so airheaded, she didn't even find it strange how Yotsuya Miko had suddenly gained supernatural powers.
Phew——
Yurikawa Hana's voice snapped Yukino Yukinoshita out of her daze.
She let out a breath.
Now was not the time to think about these things.
Her gaze returned to the battle.
Utaha was panting slightly.
Against a Curse Spirit whose strength exceeded theirs, she had used her full power from the start.
Her magic power was running a bit low... She turned back to look at Lynn, "Master, Magic Replenishment~"
For Utaha, this kind of thing had already become very natural.
Wait!
Yukino Yukinoshita was shocked!
What did she just hear?
Master??
Calling Lynn "Master"?
Her eyes widened, her gaze darting between Utaha and Lynn, trying to see through their relationship.
Boyfriend and girlfriend?
Is "Master" just a roleplay thing?
And what is "replenishing 25 mana"?
To avoid unnecessary commotion, Lynn's Retainers usually called him "President" while at school.
But Utaha was momentarily overcome by emotion and didn't pay attention to the title.
Lynn didn't explain anything either.
What was there to explain about devil matters?
Retainers needed Mana Replenishment, and Lynn, as their master, naturally wouldn't be stingy.
He held Utaha's head and kissed her.
Yukino Yukinoshita was shocked again.
An earthquake in her pupils!
It's confirmed!
It's definitely that kind of relationship!
But... shouldn't kissing depend on the occasion?!
The genre just changed!
It suddenly turned from a battle series to a romance series!
Their lips parted, and Utaha felt the full energy Lynn had injected into her.
"Ara~ so you two have that kind of relationship?"
Kanoe Yuuko leaned over, hanging her entire body on Lynn, her eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.
Utaha stared at her, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You ghost, don't you have any sense of boundaries?"
This ghost had been trying to get close to Lynn from the very beginning.
"Have you not seen a man in eight hundred years?"
Kanoe Yuuko felt nothing from her verbal attack; she just pressed her chest hard against Lynn.
"How is it? Is it soft?"
Her narrow eyes held a hint of expectation.
"Um... not wearing anything?"
"Mmh..."
"As a ghost, it's not really necessary..."
Indecency right in front of me!
This old Virgo ghost!
Utaha gritted her teeth.
Slap!
Before she could explode, Utaha's butt received a slap from Lynn.
"Stop slacking off, go fight."
"U-Understood."
Utaha blushed and hurried to support Miko and Mahiru.
Kanoe Yuuko was somewhat dumbfounded.
Suddenly so obedient?
She wanted to tease her more.
"Mas... President..."
Yotsuya Miko was panting, feeling her physical strength and mana were about to run out.
Seeing this, Lynn didn't waste words and directly injected energy into her.
Kanoe Yuuko: "Huh?"
Yukino Yukinoshita: "!"
W-What's the situation!
These three people!
Yurikawa Hana's eyes widened, she covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Miko! So bold!"
Eh? But didn't Lynn just kiss Senior Kasumigaoka?
So, which one is the girlfriend?
She was a bit confused for a moment.
"Mahiru, do you need it?"
Releasing Miko, Lynn looked at Mahiru.
Shiina Mahiru's face was red, partly from exhaustion and partly from embarrassment.
T-There's no choice. Since she didn't bring Shizuka-nee's supplies, it seems she can only take Mr. Lynn's saliva.
After all, she had to make good use of this opportunity to farm experience.
Phew—
She let out a breath and said in a small voice: "I-I'll leave it to you, Mr. Lynn."
Shiina Mahiru, first Mana Replenishment.
"Mmh..."
Her eyes were a bit hazy.
It's Mr. Lynn's taste.
"Ah... All th-three of them!"
Even the airheaded Yurikawa Hana experienced an earthquake in her pupils.
Kanoe Yuuko fell into silence.
As a sixty-year-old ghost, she had never seen such a scene!
"Ah... It really is a Harem Club..."
Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze was vacant; she felt that not only had her worldview collapsed, but her outlook on life and values were also compromised.
No wonder no one refuted her when she called it the Harem Club back at the Supernatural Investigation Department.
After all, there was no need to refute it.
"Y-Yuki, is the Curse Spirit using an illusion to attack me?"
"Why am I seeing them all kissing the same man?"
"No, you aren't under an illusion attack. That's real."
"Ehhhhh??!"
...After a while.
Utaha and the other two were exhausted again.
Lynn saw it was about time and raised his hand for a lightning strike.
The already heavily damaged Flesh-lump Curse Spirit was hit by a streak of black lightning!
Boom!!
The lightning, carrying an aura of destruction, erupted instantly, splitting the Curse Spirit into its most primitive form: Cursed Energy.
Swallowing Spirits activated.
An Experience Pill condensed from a First-Grade Cursed Spirit was kept by Lynn.
"Okay, the Commission is complete."
Lynn took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Natsuki Minamiya.
Nayue-chan: "? I told you to exorcise it, not to carry out a demolition!"
Lynn looked at the state of the Old School Building.
Well... besides the exterior not changing much, the inside looked like there had been a fire.
Lynn: "That's between you and the school. Don't forget the mission reward."
Nayue-chan: "...It's... over just like that?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's expression was a bit dazed.
They were fighting intensely just now, but as soon as Lynn raised his hand, that Curse Spirit completely disappeared.
A terrifying man!
Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze toward Lynn was full of awe.
Absolutely do not provoke him!
At the same time, many questions arose in her heart.
For example.
The Harem... the messy relationships in the Supernatural Investigation Department?
And, Mana Replenishment?
According to her analysis, after Utaha and the others kissed Lynn, they seemed to return to their peak state.
So... kissing is actually a form of combat endurance?
She had far too many questions about Lynn's group.
But... after this Commission, she and the Supernatural Investigation Department probably wouldn't have any more interaction, right?
After all, she and Lynn's group were from two different worlds.
Yukino Yukinoshita was just an ordinary person... "Ah—"
"So tired!"
Utaha massaged her sore shoulders and complained, "This feels much more tiring than fighting Corpses."
The three of them had each replenished their endurance once, yet they still couldn't defeat that Curse Spirit.
"After all, it was a First-Grade Cursed Spirit. It's still a bit difficult for you guys right now."
Lynn continued, "However, after returning this time, I estimate my ability points will increase quite a bit."
Ability points!
Utaha and the other two's eyes lit up.
After fighting a first-rank Curse Spirit for so long, who knows how much their abilities will improve.
"Oh, are you leaving?"
Kanoe Yuuko floated over, a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
Soon, she would be alone again.
It was so lonely, all by herself in the Old School Building.
Seeing this, Lynn reached out to her.
"Would you consider joining my Familiars?"
