Komao Town.
Private Kuoh Academy.
Old School Building, Occult Research Club.
Sitting on the soft leather sofa, Rias stared at the message Lynn sent her on her phone.
Koneko out of favor??
Rias curiously opened the picture and observed it carefully.
"It really is a Cat..."
Seeing the Cat ears on Fuse Midori's head, she slightly curved her lips.
However...
Where did Lynn find her?
The meaning of 'her own Cat'...
Does it mean she's already been taken in as a Peerage?
Is she a Cat Sprite like Koneko?
She shook her head, truly unsure where Lynn kept finding such exceptional Peerage members.
As the owner of a Cat Sprite, she understood the Cat Sprite clan quite well.
Especially Koneko's sister, who had made a notorious name for herself.
Although she had killed her owner and become a Stray Devils, her power was undeniable.
She rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
This time a Cat Sprite, last time an Angel, the time before that a Secretary Demon.
Tsk!
They all seem like Peerage members with immense potential!
She silently glanced at her empty clubroom again.
Akeno was researching how to brew even more delicious black tea, Koneko 28...
Crunch crunch...
Hmm, grinding her teeth.
Sigh...
She sighed, wondering when she would finally be able to fill her Occult Research Club.
Crunch crunch...
Rias: "..."
She glanced at Koneko, smiling without warmth, and said, "Koneko, I'll show you something good."
Koneko: "?"
She looked slightly puzzled, carrying a bag of potato chips as she walked over.
Rias waited for her to get close, then directly shoved her phone screen into Koneko's eyes.
Koneko was momentarily dazed, then she finally saw the content.
Lynn: I have my own Cat now too!
She subconsciously ignored her Minister's message, her eyes only seeing Lynn's message.
Then she received the bad news!
Plop!
Koneko's eyes were blank, and the potato chips in her hand fell to the ground.
Senior has her own Cat?
Rias feigned regret, "It's a shame, Koneko, Lynn has his own Cat now, you..."
"...seem to have fallen out of favor, huh?"
She remained stunned for a good while.
Koneko finally came to her senses, returning to her calm demeanor, and bent down to pick up her potato chips.
However, as she stood up, she subtly pursed her lips.
"Minister, Senior's Peerage should be almost full, right?"
Rias looked at her in confusion.
Koneko said expressionlessly, "Why is it that a Minister who took in Peerage members a year earlier than him, still only has me and Senior Akeno?"
Pfft!
Rias's mouth twitched slightly, feeling like she had been stabbed.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But found that...
She was utterly powerless to refute!
She slumped back into the sofa, falling into a state of self-isolation.
Himejima Akeno, who was nearby, saw this scene and narrowed her eyes, smiling with amusement.
Ara ara~
Saying so much in one breath, that's really unlike Koneko.
As expected...
Koneko was momentarily dazed before she could clearly see the content on the screen.
Lynn: Image [Confused Cat].jpg.
Lynn: I have my own cat now too!
She subconsciously ignored the message from her club president, her eyes only lingering on Lynn's message.
And then she received the devastating news!
*Plop!*
Koneko's eyes went blank, and the potato chips in her hand fell to the floor.
Senpai... has his own cat now?
Rias pretended to be regretful, saying, "What a shame, Koneko. Lynn has his own cat now, you..."
"...seem to have fallen out of favor, huh?"
She was stunned for a good while.
Only after a long moment did Koneko snap back to reality, regaining her usual calm demeanor as she bent down to pick up her potato chips.
However, during the process of standing up, she subtly pursed her lips.
"President, Senpai's Familia should be almost full soon, right?"
Rias looked at her, puzzled.
Koneko said expressionlessly, "Why is it that you, President, who started collecting Familia members a year earlier, still only have me and Akeno-senpai to this day?"
*Pfft!*
Rias's mouth twitched slightly, feeling like she had just been stabbed.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But she found... she was utterly powerless to refute it!
She slumped dejectedly into the sofa, sinking into a state of self-isolation.
Himejima Akeno, who was watching from the side, narrowed her eyes and smiled with great interest.
Ara ara~
To say so much in one breath is really not like you, Koneko.
You must be... getting anxious, right?
...Having successfully dealt a blow to the President, Koneko returned to her seat.
She put a potato chip in her mouth, but it felt completely tasteless.
It was like chewing wax.
She secretly took out her phone and sent a message to Lynn.
Koneko: Senpai, weekend, video games?
Staring at the phone screen, Koneko felt her heart beat a little faster.
Why... was she feeling a bit nervous?
*Ding!*
A message popped up on the phone.
Koneko hurriedly looked.
Lynn: No problem.
*Whew—*
She felt... a little relieved.
Black Bullet World.
After replying to Koneko's message, Lynn continued performing the reincarnation rituals for the Cursed Children.
After a while.
Finally, the reincarnation of 113 Cursed Children was completed.
After being tested by the instruments and confirming they were completely free of the gastrea virus, the Cursed Children wept with joy!
Their long-suppressed emotions burst forth one after another.
Lynn did not interfere with them.
It was much better to let it all out than to keep it bottled up inside.
After today, they could choose a new life.
Seeing the Cursed Children happily flapping their demon wings, flying in the air and exclaiming in surprise, Lynn smiled slightly.
Fuse Midori, holding Lynn's index finger with her small hand, also felt her eyes grow slightly red at the sight.
Everyone... is saved... But... there are still more Cursed Children suffering torment.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tighten her grip on Lynn's index finger.
Sensing her action, Lynn patted her head with his other hand.
"Don't worry, everything will get better."
Hearing Lynn-sama's words, Fuse Midori's emotions stabilized.
It was as if there was a magical power in his words.
"I will do my best too, Lynn-sama!"
Fuse Midori's gaze was earnest.
This was also a matter for them, the Cursed Children.
The fact that Lynn-sama could accept them, grant them new power, and even free them from the torment of the gastrea virus...
For the Cursed Children, this alone was already an immense boon!
The task of finding more Cursed Children would be left to her!
After all, she had been granted even greater power by Lynn-sama!
Moreover... her cheeks flushed slightly.
She had also received Lynn-sama's favor... Seeing her mood improve, Lynn didn't dwell on it further.
He temporarily shifted his focus onto himself.
The skill panel now included Fuse Midori's [Cat Nymph Devil].
In the [demon chess pieces] space, another piece labeled 'Fuse Midori' now revolved around his own piece.
[Apoptosis Genome] (Gestating)
It had recorded more gastrea factors.
Who knows when this gestation will end.
Or rather, what requirements need to be met?
As for his power level.
The 'Level' column still read 'High-Class Devil'.247
The hundred-plus Cursed Children hadn't brought about any qualitative change for him.
But he could still feel an increase in his own strength.
Roughly an increase equivalent to... almost breaking through the limit of a Middle-Level Demon?
This degree of quantitative change was already quite outrageous.
And this was only achieved with just over a hundred Cursed Children.
In this world, there were a full million lolis waiting for Lynn to 'harvest'!
*Whew—*
Lynn let out a breath.
Temporarily suppressing the fervor in his heart.
He couldn't rely entirely on reincarnating Cursed Children either.
The levels of the special demons needed to be raised as well!
He still couldn't let Shiwa and the others get too complacent.
Evening.
The Cursed Children's first dinner at the shelter.
The gloom on their faces had long been washed away, replaced by hope for a new life.
"Lynn-sama."
At that moment.
Shiina Mahiru leaned close to Lynn's ear and whispered, "The supplies sent by the government are far less than what the Saint Son promised."
Lynn showed no expression.
As if he had expected it all along.
"Don't worry. Even before the Interdimensional Gate was established, I had Saeko start collecting supplies from the Dead Body World."
"For the current stage, it's already sufficient."
"However..."
Lynn smiled slightly. He needed to give the Saint Son a little warning.
Lynn Family Harem Group Chat.
After Lynn @'d the Saint Son and told her about the matter.
Saint Son: Hontō ni sumimasen!! (I'm truly sorry!!)
