Dead Body World.
Yurikawa Hana and Kanoe Yuuko stepped through the Boundary Gate, their faces filled with wonder.
"Is it really an Otherworld?"
They surveyed their surroundings.
It felt like there was no difference from the modern world?
Lynn called Rei and had her take them to familiarize themselves with the Dead Body World, and to try out their abilities by fighting a few Corpses.
As for Lynn.
He was preparing to update Shiwa and the others' Blessings.
However...
"Where's Shiwa?"
Utaha secretly put things away and then hurried back.
Lynn looked at her suspiciously.
He had a feeling that Shiyu Beast was acting strange today.
It had started back at the Supernatural Investigation Department.
Being stared at by Lynn, Utaha's eyes darted away, and her face felt warm.
Tonight, she would be Lynn's woman…
Thinking of this, her face grew even hotter.
"Come on, let me update your Blessings and see your ability values."
He had them team up to clear a Level 1 Curse Spirit today, so he felt they should have grown quite a bit.
Lynn's bedroom.
"First, Shiwa."
Utaha nodded, then very naturally took off her top.
She had experienced this many times before; although she was still a little shy, she had gotten used to it quite a bit.
Lynn manually updated her Blessing.
"Hmm…"
Utaha felt Lynn's fingers moving across her body, and she couldn't help but clamp her thighs together.
Utaha
Inferior Demon
Race: Demon
Master: Lynn Valefor
Strength: A823
Agility: A877
Durability: A827
Magic: S999
Inherent Skill:
[Secretary Demon] (Omitted)
Lynn raised his eyebrows and imprinted her Blessing information.
He said, "Shiwa, your magic power should have reached its limit, and the others are probably close too. Are you ready to level up?"
Without a cheat-like skill like Saeko's [Killing Aspiration], this ability value was pretty much Shiwa's limit.
The previous accumulation, plus the first-grade Curse Spirits they ganged up on today, directly pushed her to the critical point for leveling up.
Utaha looked at her Blessing information and felt that it would be difficult to improve further.
After all, besides magic power, the other few stats were not her strong points.
"Then let's level up."
Lynn continued to operate manually.
Utaha Blessing data updated.
Utaha
Middle-Level Demon
Race: Demon
Master: Lynn Valefor
Strength: I0
Agility: I0
Durability: I0
Magic: I0
Inherent Skill:
[Secretary Demon]
The Demon Book can record abilities such as magic and immortal techniques, and release them through the Demon Book. The more detailed the recorded ability information, the more complete the ability release.
Demonization: The body and the Demon Book become one, bearing everything recorded in the book.
Magic power growth accelerates.
Development Ability:
Thunder Break I
The [Secretary Demon]'s ability didn't change much.
It just gained a development ability, Thunder Break.
This development ability probably appeared because Shiwa frequently used lightning strikes.
Shiwa's level advancement didn't bring any changes to Lynn.
Even the skill [demon chess piece] didn't show even a slight change.
However, Lynn did receive feedback from Shiwa's level increase.
He also gained the Thunder Break development ability.
It was better than nothing.
Utaha took her updated Blessing data after leveling up.
Seeing that her level had become Middle-Level Demon, a smile appeared on her face.
She whispered, "I've finally caught up to Saeko."
Actually, she usually felt quite pathetic.
She was Lynn's first Dependent, yet she had been surpassed in everything.
Whether it was strength, or the speed at which her relationship with Lynn progressed.
A complete failure.
However, tonight, everything was different!
When Lynn was updating Miko's Blessing, Utaha asked casually, "Master, do you go to Saeko's room every night recently?"
"Hmm?"
Lynn looked at her in surprise and asked strangely, "Don't you know?"
"?"
"The one who stands at the door eavesdropping every day is you, right?"
"!"
Utaha's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she stammered, "H-how could that be! I! I wouldn't…"
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became.
"I, I just remembered I have some things left to do, I, I'll be going first."
Utaha scrambled up from the bed, feeling so embarrassed.
Lynn said speechlessly, "Put on your clothes first."
"Ugh…"
Utaha paused, then obediently put on her clothes.
Yotsuya Miko and Shiina Mahiru exchanged glances, both seeing the strangeness in each other's eyes.
Senior Kasumigaoka, she's actually like this!
After a while, Lynn finished updating Miko and Mahiru's Blessings as well…
"Miko's ability values are also almost at their limit, she should be able to level up in a few days."
"Mahiru hasn't been a Dependent for very long, so it's normal for her ability values to be a bit lower."
Lynn stroked Shiina Mahiru's head, offering her some comfort.
"Ugh…"
Feeling Lynn's warm palm, Shiina Mahiru felt her face flush.
Then she remembered today's magic replenishment.
Her eyes involuntarily looked at Lynn's mouth.
Thin, soft…
But at that time, she was in the middle of a battle, and she didn't feel like she fully experienced the process.
And…
At that time, it was mixed with Shiwa and Miko's taste.
It seemed like, she wanted to do it again…
"Mr. Lynn, Mahiru will work hard to level up!"
Shiina Mahiru's eyes were a bit watery, and her face was serious.
Then she whispered, "After Mahiru levels up, can Mr. Lynn give Mahiru a little reward?"
The more she spoke, the redder her cheeks became.
She didn't know what she was thinking about.
Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened, looking at Shiina Mahiru in disbelief.
Mahiru, she's so bold!
Someone who seemed so gentle, was actually so proactive!
Lynn pinched her soft cheek and said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if Mahiru doesn't level up, you can always ask for any reward you want."
Lynn was always generous with his Dependents.
"Really!"
Shiina Mahiru's eyes lit up.
Then she shyly said, "C-can I, can I have magic replenishment?"
"The first time, 3.1, I, I didn't fully experience it…"
Lynn was stunned for a moment.
Mahiru, unexpectedly very proactive.
"N-no?"
Seeing Lynn not move, Shiina Mahiru lowered her head a little disappointed.
Did Mr. Lynn dislike her?
She felt a bit anxious and uncertain.
Lynn pinched the flesh on her face hard, making her wince and snap out of it.
"Don't you want a reward anymore?"
Shiina Mahiru looked up in surprise, then very proactively leaned in.
"Ugh…"
It was Mr. Lynn's unique taste, without anyone else's flavor.
Yotsuya Miko's expression was complex.
Should she… should she also be more proactive?
She felt that if this continued, there would be no place for her among the Dependents!
Senior Kasumigaoka, what on earth are you doing!
Weren't we the first two to become Dependents?!
