Noon the next day.
Ayato's Apartnt.
With a flash of a magic circle, Ayato appeared in the living room.
Yuri and the others, as if sensing his arrival, quickly ran downstairs.
"King, you're back."
"How did things go in the new world?"
Because there were now many servants...
Ayato sotis left people to watch the house during other world conquests, rather than taking everyone.
"Not bad. Everything is going smoothly for now."
Ayato gave a brief summary.
"Those Cursed Children are so pitiful."
Yuri's eyes reddened. Unconsciously, she had moved closer to Ayato. "Can I go see them soti?"
"Sure, no problem."
"Oh, right, King, I've used up my blessing's power."
"No problem. I'll replenish it now."
Ayato smiled, cupping Yuri's pretty face in both hands.
Erica: "..."
Liliana: "..."
'Wow!'
'Even the once-innocent Yuri was now so skilled at this.'
Erica then shot Liliana a look.
'See that? Even Yuri is better than you.'
Liliana glared back at Erica.
'She-fox, don't underestimate .'
But inside, she felt quite depressed.
Although she didn't want to admit it...
Erica's words had a point.
She needed a detailed plan. She had indeed fallen too far behind.
Smack!
Yuri's eyes grew dazed.
She pursed her lips and stepped back a few paces, her breathing quickening.
"Liliana, didn't you use up your blessing before?"
As she spoke, Erica put her arm to work.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, Liliana was pulled into a warm embrace.
Instantly,
Liliana turned red.
"I see."
Ayato looked down at Liliana and smiled. "You need to tell about these things right away."
"After all, the blessing is a good way to keep you safe."
"Well, that's not..."
Liliana imdiately panicked.
"Mmpphh..."
The next mont, her eyes widened wide.
Her skin instantly turned pink.
Before long...
Ayato released Liliana.
But Liliana was already slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.
'How embarrassing.'
Erica covered her face and shook her head helplessly.
'This childhood friend of mine...'
'She had all the theoretical knowledge...'
'But when it ca to practice, everyone was better than her.'
"It seems we have guests."
Ayato turned his head towards the door.
"This aura... it's Director Sayonomiya."
Yuri blinked. "And there's soone with her. They have strong power... it seems to have the aura of a Heretic God."
Knock! Knock!
Just then, a knock ca at the door.
"Honorable King, I am Sayanomiya Kaoru."
"Forgive my intrusion, but may I have an audience?"
"Co in."
Creak.
The door opened, and Kaoru walked in with Ena.
"Well, a rare guest, and you've brought soone else."
Ayato sat on the sofa and smiled. "What brings you here?"
"King, this is Seishuuin Ena."
Kaoru introduced her. "Strictly speaking, she is the one who wanted to see you today."
"Greetings, King."
Ena spoke solemnly. "The old man said I am suited to be the King's follower."
"So I intend to beco the King's blade and fight for the King."
With that, Ena knelt on both knees, her hands on the floor, her forehead resting on the back of her hands.
She lowered her head and said seriously, "So, King, please accept my allegiance."
'So direct?'
Observing Ena, Erica's eyes narrowed.
'It seed...'
'The King would have another servant.'
"You say it's the old man's order?"
Ayato straightened up from the sofa. "Lift your head."
"Yes!"
He looked at her. "If my order was for you to kill that old man you ntioned, what would you do?"
As soon as he said this...
Kaoru's breath caught.
Because only she knew...
That 'old man' was the Heretic God Susanoo.
Hearing this, Ena was stunned for a mont, then laughed brightly. "If that is the King's wish, then Ena will naturally draw her blade."
Her words held no doubt.
After all, she had no emotional attachnt to that god.
Kaoru: "..."
'She said that so casually.'
But coming from Hina's mouth, it was surprisingly believable.
Kaoru also knew,
Ena called him 'old man' not out of closeness.
It was simply because of her personality; she didn't care about such details.
And that Susanoo, an arrogant, self-important old man...
Was indeed detestable.
