Boom! Boom boom!! Splash splash splash!!!
On the sea surface, Erica and Liliana, dressed in swimsuits and wielding magic swords, clashed continuously. Streams of fiery red magic and azure sword energy flew and collided in the air. The whole sky roared, and the water surged wildly.
Their power had far exceeded human limits. Sora had infused her divine power into them through the "Youth" blessing. After days of adaptation and practice, their strength was now comparable to some minor gods!
Of course, compared to true gods, there were still gaps, such as exhausting their divine power after each battle. But for these two, it was no problem. With their ever-running Great Demon King, they could just replenish their magic when depleted.
Though a bit embarrassing to admit, both actually enjoyed the process.
"Liliana, you probably never dreamed that one day, as rivals, we would serve the same king."
"By the way, I became the king's knight and lover earlier than you, so you have to call me big sister!"
Landing on the sea surface, Erica stroked her golden hair and smiled at Liliana.
"Hmph, damn Erica Blandelli, I really didn't expect this."
"Don't expect me to call you big sister. I won't forgive you for teasing me so many times before, but when it comes to the king, I won't back down!"
Having been bullied and teased by Erica since childhood, Liliana had developed a special grudge. Gritting her teeth, she stepped on a wave and charged at Erica again.
"Oh dear, as expected of Liliana, always so cute, it makes me want to tease you even more. I won't go easy on you in the king's matter either!"
Unconcerned, a faint smile curved Erica's lips as she swung her magic sword to meet Liliana.
Boom!!!
Water splashed everywhere, waves surged, and their figures were swallowed by the water curtain…
…
On the beach, Shizuka sat cross-legged on the ground. The shameless Great Witch Zola stood in front of her, explaining and demonstrating something. After a while, Shizuka nodded vaguely, showing an eager expression.
Zola stepped aside, and Shizuka stretched out her two jade-like hands toward the sea. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, seemingly adjusting something.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide, a strange light flashing in them. A powerful divine energy radiated from her body. A water flow rose from the sea, defying physical laws, and floated toward her under her control.
"Sister Zola, I did it!"
Her cheeks flushed red, Shizuka looked excited and thrilled. But because of this, the water mass above her head suddenly lost control and fell, drenching the little girl.
"Ugh… why like this…"
She looked disappointed and crushed at failing at the last moment.
"Hehe… Shizuka, you are a human blessed by Athena's divine protection. Failing such a simple spell is adorably stupid!"
Zola smiled cheerfully, teasing the little girl with cold words.
Shizuka's eye twitched. Damn Sister Zola, what do you mean adorably stupid? Am I really that bad?!
"Sister Zola, since I'm so dumb, maybe I should just quit learning?"
Her big eyes shifted, then she suddenly smiled sweetly in a flattering way.
"Oh no, little Shizuka!"
"Little devil brother said if I don't train you into a high-level magical girl, he'll punish me. Little devil brother has been getting worse lately, and I don't want him to bully me in those bad ways again."
Recalling some endlessly embarrassing things, even the shameless Great Witch blushed faintly.
"And he also said, if you dare slack off or not take it seriously, he will personally train you!"
A sly glint flashed in his eyes as Zola rubbed Shizuka-chan's little head.
"Uh… Oniichan will personally train me?"
Thinking of something, Shizuka-chan showed a terrified expression. She glanced at senior student Yuri and maid Arianna nearby, who were being tormented by her wicked Oniichan, and the little girl shivered involuntarily.
"Ha… haha… Sister Zola, let's just continue practicing magic. Although I'm clumsy, if I practice more, I'm sure I can do it…"
The little girl laughed nervously and dared not think any mischievous thoughts anymore, obediently starting to practice…
…
"Seven… eight… nine… Ugh, Sora, I can't do it anymore."
"Lord Sora, please have mercy on us, I can't do it anymore either."
On the other side of the beach, miko Yuri and maid Arianna were being forced by a certain evil great demon king to do the most basic sit-ups. But these two girls were so weak that after just a few, they were panting and looked like they couldn't continue.
"Hey, Yuri, Arianna, do you have to be this 'enthusiastic'?!"
"I was counting on you two to become peerless heroines one day. Don't make me so disappointed!"
Looking at the two girls' delicate and weak appearances, Sora said with a speechless expression.
Lying on a deck chair enjoying the sun, the little maid Karen was gently massaging Sora's shoulders. Athena, dressed in a swimming uniform like an elementary school swim team member, sat on Sora's lap, picking peeled grapes from a nearby plate and feeding them to him.
If anyone saw Sora like this normally, the two girls would blush and scoff inwardly, but these days they had no such mood. They were almost falling apart from being tormented by this guy.
"Karen, keep an eye on them. If anyone dares to slack off and doesn't complete today's task, go and tickle them mercilessly, make them suffer!"
Saying these cold and ruthless words, Sora's voice made the two girls' faces change. They knew this big villain was not bluffing, and Karen, that hateful accomplice, would never go easy on them.
Recalling the last few times when Karen tickled them mercilessly and they couldn't resist due to their weak bodies, the two girls felt a flicker of fear. At the same time, an endless desire for strength arose in their hearts—they never wanted to be bullied and tormented like this again!
"Hehehe, Lord Sora, you really are ruthless."
Looking at the two girls who were already exhausted but gritting their teeth to persist after Sora's scare, little maid Karen's bright green eyes sparkled as she continued massaging Sora's shoulders with a mischievous smile.
"Ahem… you brat, how can you say that? I'm doing this for their own good."
"Although they have Athena's blessing, their bodies are just too weak. This won't do. Health is the foundation of revolution."
Sora cleared his throat twice, putting on a righteous expression, but his sly eyes kept glancing at the two girls' chests pressed against the sand.
"Hehehe…"
A burst of girlish laughter. As the loyal accomplice of the evil great demon king, little maid Karen found this very amusing. Her big eyes kept watching the two girls, ready to pounce and tickle anyone who slacked off to death!
Seeing these two evil rascals, Athena, sitting on Sora's lap, showed a look of disdain. Especially towards Sora, the wise Athena had long seen through his dirty little thoughts.
On the surface, he acted all righteous and concerned for the girls' well-being, but in reality, this bastard was just worried that their weak bodies wouldn't withstand his torment. Truly an evil and filthy man!
She stuffed a peeled grape into the demon king's mouth with a sigh, then looked at the two girls who had been tormented pitifully and felt a wave of relief.
Fortunately, she had a divine body and wouldn't be tormented by the hateful Kusanagi Sora like this. Even though every night he wore her out, she could recover quickly…
Well, with such little thoughts, the once pure goddess Athena was long gone, defiled by an evil great demon king…
Several days had passed since the last incident. Although Liliana and Karen's joining was a surprise, for the other women who had long recognized Sora's evil and greedy nature, it was nothing new.
Except for Shizuka, the other girls were already very familiar with Liliana and Karen. Especially Erica, who had been a lifelong rival of Liliana since childhood, so it didn't take long for the two to blend into the family.
Although Erica and Liliana still refused to yield to each other, Sora was happy with this. Competition leads to progress, and their rivalry was always healthy.
Though Erica had some subconscious resistance, Liliana got along well with the others. She came from a prestigious family but had no airs of a noble lady. Being good at housework, she shared common topics with Shizuka and Yuri and quickly became close.
As for little maid Karen, this cute little fox needed no introduction. Though a bit scheming, her sweet mouth made her very likable.
Their purpose for coming to Sardinia Island was vacation. Although delayed a few days due to Perseus, Athena, and other incidents, they still had plenty of time to make up for it.
Since it was a vacation anyway, Sora planned to use this opportunity to train the girls and improve their strength.
Among all his women, besides Athena, the strongest fighters were undoubtedly Erica and Liliana. Though top-tier among humans, their strength was still insufficient against gods and demon kings.
Sora had thought about how to improve their strength. One way was to have them become god slayers, but that was unrealistic. So he chose the second way: to grant them his blessing so they could use his power.
This method was quite good. Although after each battle he had to replenish their magic, it was no big deal for Sora. He could just do it while doing naughty things with them at night.
After several days of practice, the two gradually adapted to fighting with stronger divine power, greatly increasing their strength. At least now, among humans, they were unbeatable and could even fight some gods!
As for Shizuka, Sora had trained her before, but she was naturally uninterested in fighting, practicing only sporadically. Sora hadn't forced her before, but after some thought, he decided she needed more practice. Not to become a peerless expert, but at least to have some self-defense ability.
Though she acted strict and like a little housekeeper with Sora, Shizuka was actually a traditional and reserved girl. She thought wielding swords and guns was unladylike. Well, Sora didn't force her and let her learn magic with Zola, hoping she would become a beloved magical girl someday.
But honestly, whether magic or swordsmanship, these require bloodline inheritance and talent. Clearly, the Kusanagi family had no such lineage, and this little girl had no mutation either. Her aptitude was mediocre at best—actually, it was terrible!
Sora was speechless and wanted to shout, "Does my little sister have to be this useless?!" But after a brief frustration, he didn't care. He had plenty of resources and time. Even if she was a pig, he would train her to be a flying pig!
Cough, although he said it so fiercely, Sora actually left the little girl's training tasks to the unscrupulous great witch Zola. Whether the girl completed the tasks or not was not his concern. But if the great witch failed, Sora had plenty of ways to deal with her!
Finally, there were Yuri and maid Arianna. Sora was at a loss for words about how weak their bodies were, especially Yuri, the miko, who would be out of breath after running a few steps.
With most of his memories restored, Sora had evil plans to devour these two girls, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Forget it, he decided to train their bodies first. Otherwise, if he tormented them too much, he might break them, and he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Though he felt a bit sorry seeing the two girls exhausted every day, for his future happiness and for their own good, Sora had to be ruthless.
However, whenever he saw the two girls making those irresistibly seductive moves, Sora felt it wasn't so bad. Tsk tsk, both girls had developed quite well. Once their bodies were trained, he could enjoy them fully.
Thus, amid the girls' resentful training, time gradually passed, summer vacation ended, and it was time for them to return home…
