"Wait, why did I come out? This is my home."
Standing in the living room, Eriri was in a mess.
Bang!
She turned around and pulled open the door.
"Th-th-th-th-this..."
Linde and Miyano Akemi, who came into view, hit her with a direct critical strike.
This, this was her room!
"Eriri... I'm... sorry... for borrowing your room."
Eriri trembled, her entire body already swaying precariously.
She almost instinctively said, "Then what about me?"
"Hmm?"
Miyano Akemi looked up, blinked and said, "Isn't there a sofa in the living room?"
"Or..."
She said with a half-smile, "Have you thought it through, and want to get stronger faster with me?"
"..."
Eriri's eyes went blank, and her brain had completely crashed.
Together, and all that.
It's too, too messy...
As night deepened.
Eriri curled up on the sofa.
Fortunately, she wasn't too tall, and the sofa was long enough.
But... wasn't the sound a little too loud?
She pulled the blanket over her head, only feeling her face burning hot.
As soon as she closed her eyes.
The image of Miyano Akemi and Master appeared.
In this situation, who could sleep?
"Damn it... If I had known, why didn't I find a hotel?"
Eriri twisted and turned, feeling as if her body was on fire.
After an unknown amount of time, her consciousness gradually blurred.
The next morning.
Eriri, with panda eyes, ate her bento half-heartedly.
Her gaze, however, was resentfully directed at Miyano Akemi, who was just coming downstairs.
"Why aren't you eating in the living room?"
"Because I'm just a little bit away from leveling up!"
Miyano Akemi blinked, picking up two heated bentos.
She was a bit exhausted.
She had to replenish her energy.
"Oh, and lunch is also entrusted to you."
Leaving this message, Miyano Akemi, slightly unsteady, turned and walked away.
Opportunities are for those who are prepared.
She wanted to seize this chance to quickly close the gap in strength with the others.
"..."
Eriri's chopsticks dropped onto the table, her face utterly dumbfounded...
Approaching four in the afternoon.
Linde, refreshed, led Eriri and Miyano Akemi out of the apartment.
"Master, where are you taking me?"
"My villa."
Linde casually replied, "That will be your residence from now on."
"Huh?"
Lili paused, subconsciously looking at Akemi.
If it was like this every night, how could anyone bear it?
Noticing her thoughts, Akemi chuckled, "Don't worry, I can't keep enduring Master's special training."
"That's good."
Lili let out a huge sigh of relief.
"But there's also Shiho and the others. You'd best improve your sleep quality."
She, them?
Lili's body, which had just relaxed, immediately stiffened.
She blurted out subconsciously, "Master, do you have a harem?"
Linde nodded, as if saying, 'You just realized that?'
Lili: "..."
Her Master was practically a demon of lust.
After walking for a bit, Linde suddenly snapped his fingers.
Buzz!
A strange light flashed in the air and then vanished.
"Repulsion Barrier?"
Seeing this, Akemi was a little puzzled.
Linde didn't explain, only stating indifferently, "You've been following for so long, isn't it time to come out?"
His voice echoed, but the surrounding streets were silent, as if empty.
"Not coming out?"
Linde flicked his finger, and a beam of magic power shot out.
Boom!
The distant alley exploded, and two figures leaped out from the dust, nimbly using the surrounding walls as footholds.
With cross-jumps, they landed on the street.
One was a tall, curvaceous girl with light blue, shoulder-length short hair, wearing a white robe and wielding a weapon nearly as tall as herself.
The other girl also wore a white robe and had chestnut-colored twin tails.
They both watched Linde warily, and the twin-tailed girl spoke first.
"As expected of a demon, do you intend to kill us directly?"
Hearing Kirisame Irina's words, Gennova said in a deep voice, "The opponent is an Upper-level Demon; don't be careless."
"Don't say that. If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead."
Linde's lips curved into a smile as he looked at Gennova and Kirisame Irina:
"You were just following me, so I merely gave you a small lesson."
"Hmph, as warriors of our Lord, facing a heretic like you, we should have granted you merciful purification."
Gennova gave a cold laugh, "But we have other important matters today, so we won't bother with you any further."
As she spoke, the two of them tried to turn and leave.
But as soon as they made a move, they felt their breathing seize.
They felt an inexplicable pressure that completely prevented them from breathing.
An incredibly pure sensation rose within them.
This man… Sweat began to bead on their foreheads, and their bodies started to tremble.
The intelligence was wrong.
The person before them absolutely could not be just an Upper-level Demon.
Run! Run! Run!
Without any hesitation or communication, both of them moved simultaneously.
Their figures left afterimages in the air as they dashed into the distance.
"Did I tell you to run?"
Linde's voice rang out, and two chains coiled around them like giant pythons.
Bang! Bang!
The two immediately fell to the ground, then were dragged before Linde.
"Akemi-jie, isn't this a bit much?"
Lili whispered.
"Who told them to offend Master?"
Akemi pouted.
Not only did they follow him, but they also spoke disrespectfully.
What purification in the name of the Lord.
If they weren't beautiful girls, they would have probably been blasted to smithereens by Master long ago.
"You offend me and then try to run? Isn't that a bit too naive?"
Linde stepped forward and lifted both of their chins.
Heroic and alluring pretty faces simultaneously entered his sight.
Good, they met his aesthetic.
He hadn't expected to encounter such a good thing on his way home.
