DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch.

Chapter 63: What Are You Doing Utaha-Senpai (BONUS)

Zombie World.

After Hana and Yuuko stepped through the door, they were surprised.

"Is this really another world?"

They looked around.

It didn't seem that different from the modern world?

Lynn called Rei and asked her to guide them around the Zombie World and have them fight a few zombies to test their abilities.

As for Lynn.

He was preparing to update the blessings of Utaha and the others.

But...

"Where's Utaha?"

Utaha had secretly put her things away earlier and rushed back in a hurry.

Lynn looked at her suspiciously.

He had a strange feeling that Utaha was acting a little off today.

Ever since they were at the Supernatural Investigation Club...

Being stared at by Lynn, Utaha averted her eyes, her cheeks heating up.

Tonight, she would become Lynn's woman...

Her face grew even hotter at the thought.

"Alright, I'll update your blessing and check your stats."

Earlier today, they worked together to take down a Grade 1 cursed spirit. He had a feeling they'd grown quite a bit.

Lynn's bedroom.

"You first, Utaha."

Utaha nodded and casually removed her top.

Having gone through this process several times, she was still a little shy, but she had gotten used to it.

Lynn manually updated her blessing.

"Hmm~"

Utaha felt Lynn's fingers brushing against her back, and she instinctively squeezed her thighs together.

Lynn raised his eyebrows and copied her blessing info.

He said, "Utaha, your magic has already reached the limit, and the other stats are close too. Are you ready to upgrade?"

Without Saeko's [Yearning for Killing], this was about the limit Utaha could reach.

The buildup from before, plus today's Grade 1 cursed spirit hunt, had pushed her right to the upgrade threshold.

Utaha looked over her blessing information, realizing there wasn't much room left for growth.

Aside from magic, the rest weren't her strong points.

"Then let's upgrade."

Lynn continued the process.

Utaha's blessing data refreshed.

Development Ability: Thunder Strike

---

There wasn't much change to the Archivist Devil's core abilities.

The only new development was Thunder Strike, likely the result of her frequent use of lightning-based attacks.

Utaha's level advancement didn't affect Lynn directly.

The skill [Evil Piece] also showed no change.

However, Lynn still received feedback from Utaha's level-up.

He now had access to the Thunder Strike development ability as well.

Not bad. Better than nothing.

Utaha reviewed her upgraded blessing information.

Seeing her status as a Mid-Class Devil, she smiled slightly.

She whispered, "Finally... I've caught up with Saeko."

In truth, she often felt a little pathetic.

She was Lynn's first Peerage member, yet she'd been surpassed in everything.

Whether it was strength, or the pace of her relationship with Lynn.

It was a total defeat.

But tonight, things were finally different!

While Lynn was updating Saeko's blessing, Utaha casually asked, "Master, have you been going to Saeko's room every night lately?"

"Hmm?"

Lynn looked at her in surprise and said with curiosity, "You didn't know?"

"...?"

"You're the one who stands outside the door eavesdropping every night."

"...!"

Utaha's beautiful eyes widened, and she stammered, "W-What?! T-That's... I didn't... I wouldn't..."

The more she spoke, the more flustered she became.

"I-I just remembered something I haven't done yet. I'll head out now!"

Utaha hurriedly got up from the bed, completely embarrassed.

Lynn said flatly, "Put your clothes on first."

"...Hmm."

Utaha paused, then obediently got dressed.

Miko and Mahiru exchanged glances, both noticing the strange atmosphere.

Utaha-senpai... so this is what you're like!

A little while later, Lynn also updated Miko and Mahiru's blessings...

"Miko's stats are close to the limit. She should be ready to upgrade in a few more days."

"Mahiru hasn't been in the Peerage for long, so it's normal for her stats to still be low."

Lynn patted Mahiru's head gently to comfort her.

"Hmm..."

Feeling Lynn's warm hand on her head, Mahiru's face turned red.

She then recalled the magic replenishment earlier today.

She glanced at Lynn's lips involuntarily.

Thin, soft...

But since it happened in the middle of battle, she didn't feel like she'd really experienced it.

Also...

At the time, there were the scents of Utaha and Miko too...

Maybe... let's do it again...

"Master Lynn, Mahiru will work hard to level up!"

Mahiru's eyes shimmered slightly as she spoke with determination.

Then she added in a whisper, "After Mahiru levels up... could Master give Mahiru a little reward?"

Her face turned even redder as she said it.

Who knows what she was imagining.

Miko's eyes widened in shock, staring at Mahiru.

Mahiru... you're that bold!?

She always thought Mahiru was the gentle type but she was actually so forward!

Lynn pinched her soft cheek with a smile.

"Don't worry. Even if you don't level up, you can still ask me for a reward anytime."

Lynn had always been generous with his Peerage.

"Really!?"

Mahiru's eyes lit up.

Then she said shyly,

"T-Then... can I request magic replenishment?"

"The first time... I didn't get to experience it fully..."

Lynn froze for a second.

Mahiru was... surprisingly bold.

"W-Was that too much?"

Seeing Lynn not respond, Mahiru lowered her head in disappointment.

She started getting anxious.

Lynn pinched her cheek firmly, causing her to yelp in pain.

"Didn't you want a reward?"

Mahiru looked up in surprise, then leaned in closer.

"Hmm~"

Yes, this scent, this warmth, it was Lynn's alone.

Miko watched silently, her expression complex.

Shouldn't I... be making a move too...?

If things keep going like this, there won't be any place for me in the Peerage!

Utaha-senpai, what are you doing!

Weren't we the ones who joined first!?

(To be continued.)
