DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch.

Chapter 59: Soft Right? (BONUS)

Shuchiin Academy, Old School Building.

Yukino fell into silence.

She was somewhat shaken.

For the first time, she began to doubt herself.

In a world like this, where the supernatural was real, what could someone like her without any abilities possibly do?

"Keep it up, Miko!!"

Hana cheered without hesitation, showing no sign of fear.

She didn't even stop to question how Miko suddenly gained supernatural powers.

Hana's voice snapped Yukino out of her thoughts.

She exhaled lightly.

Now wasn't the time to be lost in contemplation.

Her attention returned to the battle.

Utaha was breathing heavily.

From the start, she had been using her full strength to deal with this cursed spirit that was beyond their current level.

Her magic was running low...

She turned to look at Lynn.

"Master, replenish my magic~"

She said it naturally, without the slightest hesitation.

Wait!

Yukino was shocked.

What did she just hear?!

Master??

Did she just call Lynn "Master"?

Her eyes widened as she shifted her gaze back and forth between Utaha and Lynn, trying to decipher their relationship.

Boyfriend and girlfriend?

Or is 'Master' just some kind of roleplay?

And what was this "magic replenishment"?

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lynn's peerage members usually referred to him as "President" while in school.

But caught up in the moment, Utaha had carelessly used the term "Master."

Lynn, however, didn't bother explaining.

After all, what was there to explain?

As a devil, it was only natural for him to supply magic to his peerage members when needed.

Without hesitation, he held Utaha's face and kissed her.

Yukino was stunned again.

Her pupils trembled.

It's confirmed!

They're definitely in that kind of relationship!

But...

Shouldn't there be a time and place for this?!

The atmosphere shifted in an instant, from an intense battle to a completely different kind of scene.

After their lips parted, Utaha felt a surge of energy filling her body.

"Ah~ So you two are in that kind of relationship?"

Yuuko floated over, draping herself over Lynn, eyes filled with curiosity and intrigue.

Utaha narrowed her eyes at her.

"You ghost, do you not understand personal boundaries?"

From the very beginning, this ghost had been trying to get close to Lynn.

"Haven't seen a man in 800 years or something?"

Yuuko remained unfazed by the verbal jab. Instead, she pressed her chest against Lynn, looking up at him with mischievous eyes.

"So? Soft, right?"

She asked, clearly expecting an answer.

"Hmm... not wearing anything?"

"Hmm~"

"As a ghost, does that even matter?"

This damn ghost!

Utaha clenched her teeth.

Pah!

Before she could react, Lynn smacked her on the backside.

"Quit slacking and get back to the fight."

"I know, I know!"

Blushing, Utaha hurried back to assist Miko and Mahiru.

Yuuko blinked in surprise.

She actually obeyed so quickly?

She had planned to tease her a little more.

"Master....."

Miko panted heavily, feeling her stamina and magic running out.

Lynn didn't waste time with words and directly replenished her magic.

Yuuko: "Ah?"

Yukino: "!"

What—what's going on?!

These three...?!

Hana gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

"Miko! So bold!"

Wait—didn't Lynn just kiss Utaha?

So who exactly is his girlfriend?!

For a moment, she was completely lost.

"Mahiru, do you need it?"

Letting go of Miko, Lynn turned to Mahiru.

Her face was flushed. She was both exhausted and embarrassed.

No choice. I didn't bring Shizuka-san's supplies, so it looks like I'll have to rely on Lynn's magic.

After all, this was an opportunity to gain experience.

Haaa~

She exhaled softly, then spoke in a shy voice.

"Then... I'll leave it to you, Master."

Shiina Mahiru, first-time magic replenishment.

"Hmm~"

Her dazed eyes reflected Lynn's presence.

"Ah... all three of them!"

Even the usually carefree Hana had her pupils shaking.

Yuuko fell silent.

In her sixty years as a ghost, she had never seen a scene like this.

"...Ah, it really is a harem, after all..."

Yukino's expression was blank.

She felt like her entire worldview was crumbling.

No wonder no one objected when she called the Supernatural Investigation Club the "Harem Department."

There was no need to refute it.

"Y-yukino... Did the cursed spirit hit me with an illusion attack?"

"Why... why did I just see them all kissing the same man?"

"No, you weren't under an illusion. That was real."

"EHHHHHHH?!"

---

After a while.

Utaha, Miko, and Mahiru were exhausted once again.

Lynn saw that the fight had dragged on long enough. Raising his hand, he unleashed a bolt of black lightning.

The already-weakened first-grade cursed spirit was instantly obliterated, disintegrating into raw curse energy.

Spirit Devouring activated.

A condensed first-grade curse spirit experience pill appeared in Lynn's hand.

"Alright, mission complete."

Lynn took out his phone, snapped a picture, and sent it to Natsuki Minamiya.

Natsuki Minamiya: ? I told you to exorcise the spirit, not demolish the place!

Lynn glanced around.

Hmm… well, aside from the structural damage, the inside looked like it had been on fire.

Lynn: That's between you and the school. Just don't forget my mission reward.

Natsuki Minamiya: ...

---

Is it... over?

Yukino stared blankly.

They had been struggling against the cursed spirit this whole time, yet Lynn had ended it with a single attack.

What a terrifying man!

Her gaze toward Lynn changed.

She must never provoke him.

At the same time, countless questions flooded her mind.

The harem dynamics in the Supernatural Investigation Club?

And this magic replenishment…

From what she observed, each time Utaha, Miko, or Mahiru kissed Lynn, they recovered their stamina and magic.

So… does kissing actually serve as some kind of combat endurance boost?!

She had far too many questions about Lynn and his group.

But…

After this mission, she probably wouldn't have any further interactions with them, right?

After all, she and Lynn belonged to completely different worlds.

Yukino was just an ordinary person.

---

"Ahhh, so exhausted!"

Utaha groaned as she stretched her aching shoulders.

"I feel more drained than if I'd just been beaten to death."

The three of them had fought non-stop but failed to defeat the cursed spirit.

"Well, it was a first-grade cursed spirit. It's still a bit beyond your current level."

Lynn continued, "But after this, I imagine your abilities will improve quite a bit."

Abilities!

Utaha, Miko, and Mahiru's eyes lit up.

After battling a first-grade cursed spirit for so long, they were eager to see their growth.

"Hey, you're leaving?"

Yuuko floated over, her expression a bit lonely.

Soon, she would be alone again.

Alone in this old school building.

Lynn noticed this.

He extended a hand to her.

"Would you consider joining my peerage?"
