After spending some time with the minister and fusing with the Ice Teigu Demon's Extract, it was almost noon by the time Sora and Esdeath returned.
All the girls at home were already up. Some were on guard duty, some were practicing swordsmanship, some were doing household chores, and others were chatting, making the house lively and bustling.
Mine-chan was still enjoying her elegant young lady life, wearing her cute pink dress, sitting on a stool with her little feet swinging. On the table in front of her was a large plate of various delicious desserts, and with each bite, she showed an expression of pure bliss.
"Master, Esdeath-sister, you're back!"
Seeing Sora and Esdeath walk in with radiant expressions, the girls immediately gathered around, curious about what their mischievous master and Esdeath had been up to, looking so happy.
"Hahaha, girls, we went to get an Teigu suitable for Esdeath from that fat minister. She is now a true queen!"
"We're going to celebrate now. Well, if you want to join, I'd be happy to have you!"
Seeing the still puzzled girls, Sora said with a sly smile.
Although they were curious and didn't understand what Sora meant by the Teigu, seeing their master's mischievous smile, the girls knew what was coming next. Their faces flushed, and they quickly took a few steps back.
Last night, they had been thoroughly exhausted and hadn't fully recovered yet. They couldn't endure another round of their evil master's torment!
"Number 1, take a few sisters and find these two people for me in the next couple of days. If I remember correctly, they should be in the capital area."
"If you find them, don't alert them. Just report back to me."
Seeing the girls' fearful expressions, Sora found it amusing. Remembering something, he took out a portrait from his pocket and handed it to the guard girl.
The portrait depicted a beautiful mature woman holding a cute little girl. Although the memory was a bit fuzzy and the drawing slightly off, it was enough to find the original person.
"Yes, Master!"
Taking the portrait, the girl replied respectfully.
Nodding, Sora trusted the girls' abilities, as they had been personally trained by him and Esdeath. Although the capital was large and densely populated, he believed they would quickly find the results.
"Mine, how's your training today? If you've been slacking off again, see how I punish you!"
Turning to Mine, who was enjoying her young lady life with desserts, Sora said somewhat helplessly.
Sora thought he was good at enjoying life, always eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping well, but compared to this girl, he was still a step behind!
She was talented, had good aptitude, and was very cute, though a bit strong-willed and tsundere, traits Sora liked. The only thing that gave him a headache was her laziness. Whenever he wasn't paying attention, she would slack off and enjoy her life!
Sora didn't know if full recovery was a skill all tsundere girls had, but so far, both Mine and the previous Saya young lady were like this. No matter how he disciplined or punished them, they remained stubborn, leaving Sora both deeply amused and helpless…
"Hmph! Big bad guy, stinky bad guy, always bullying me…"
Reluctantly putting down her spoon, pouting, Mine looked very displeased.
It had been several years, and he kept making her practice all these strange things, not knowing what they were for.
However, in front of Sora, Mine was relatively obedient. She had to be, having learned from too many painful lessons!
"Keep an eye on her, and don't let her run away until she finishes her task!"
Seeing Mine-chan's pink eyes darting around, clearly plotting something, Sora was furious and harshly ordered the guard girls beside him.
"Hehehe…"
The girls giggled softly, as they had witnessed such scenes countless times before.
"Hmph!"
With a soft snort, Mine-chan knew she had no choice but to obediently complete her task this time. She turned around and headed towards her room, cursing a certain despicable person in her heart.
"Darling, what exactly are you planning by making Mine-chan do all those strange training exercises?"
Although she knew Sora would never do anything useless, Esdeath couldn't help but feel curious.
Ever since they found Mine-chan, Sora had been making her undergo those peculiar training sessions, to the point where Mine-chan's physical abilities were only slightly better than those of the girls who joined last, like Kasia. While she was quite strong by ordinary standards, she was still far from Esdeath's level.
"Hehehe, that's a secret for now. You'll find out soon enough!"
With a mysterious smile, Sora kept his lips sealed. Revealing everything now would spoil the fun.
Especially when it came to Mine-chan. Every time he saw her pouting, clearly unhappy but forced to endure those strange exercises under his authority, Sora felt an unusual sense of satisfaction!
"Oh!"
Esdeath responded and didn't press further.
A glint of curiosity flashed in Esdeath's eyes. She was also looking forward to seeing what interesting things would happen to little Mine-chan!
"Now, it's time for us to celebrate!"
With everything settled, Sora smirked and picked up Esdeath, heading straight for the room.
"Wow! Is Master finally going to devour Esdeath? That's amazing!"
"I'm so curious, let's sneak in and take a peek!"
"No way, Master will definitely catch us, and then…"
"Ah, I can't resist, I want to see! I'm going!"
"Me too, me too! Hehehe, at most we'll just get scolded by the bad Master again!"
…
Watching Sora carry Esdeath away, the group of girls gathered together, chattering excitedly, their gossip spirits soaring.
Although they had served Sora alongside Esdeath before, Sora had never truly "devoured" Esdeath. Despite their fear, the girls couldn't suppress their curiosity and quietly followed.
With a sly smile, Sora naturally knew the girls were sneaking behind to eavesdrop.
Perfect. Although Esdeath was physically strong, it was still her first time, and he couldn't be too rough with her. He would just use the girls to vent his frustration later!
"Mmm… Darling…"
Pinned beneath Sora, Esdeath's eyes were already glazed. Despite being the super S queen and having been close to Sora countless times, she couldn't help but feel a maiden's nervousness and shyness.
"My queen, finally, I can completely possess you!"
"So, let us become one!"
Although Esdeath had been ready for a long time, Sora had been patiently waiting for her to fully integrate the Demon's Extract and truly become the super S queen.
Finally, the day had come, and he couldn't wait any longer!
Tearing off the girl's dress, he gently, amidst her soft cry of pain, merged with her…
