Chapter 172

Mmh? A rough sensation on my face, and some liquid? The smell of fish too…

“Nya, nyanooo . ”

It’s Rollo .

“Your Excelleeeeency!” (Helme)

“Master, Master!” (Viine)

“You still not up yet, Shuuya!?” (Rebecca)

“Nn, Shuuya, stop sleeping . Wake up!” (Eva)

…Everyone’s voices .

Should I open my eyes? Yes, I think so .

“Ah, Master! Did you notice us?” (Viine)

“Ooh, His Excellency opened his eyes!” (Helme)

“What a relief . ” (Rebecca)

“Nn ― you alright, Shuuya?” (Eva)

“Nya, nyaaa . ”

Everyone’s face is pale…

Being woken up by beautiful ladies and a cute cat is certainly a very nice experience .

Since I usually don’t sleep, such an opportunity might never come again…

But, on the next run, I will turn only one person a time into a bloodkin…

Let’s burn the girls’ expressions into my memory in commemoration…

Now then, time to get up . While looking at everyone,

“――I’m fine . Looks like I made you worry . ” (Shuuya)

“Jeez, I was out of my mind in worry! Once we woke up, you had collapsed and Viine had a very angry look . As she was frantically shouting “I didn’t expected something like this! I didn’t know!” while crying loudly, we got panicked as well . Even Spirit-sama looked shocked and started to emit water from her b.o.o.bs…” (Rebecca)

I must have startled Viine .

Helme, for you to release water from your b.o.o.bs when you lose your calm…

“…Rebecca . It was the first time for Master to collapse unconsciously . I lost my cool there . I will apologize for that . However, it’s truly wonderful that you’re safe, Master…” (Viine)

At that time Viine’s b.u.t.t flopped on the ground and she burst into tears again .

With her apparently having removed her mask, the silver b.u.t.terfly s.h.i.+ning on her cheek and tear drops mixed with each other, causing the light to reflect in a mysterious way .

“Nn, don’t cry, Viine . Shuuya is in good health . ” (Eva)

Eva pats Viine’s back to comfort her while sitting on the bed with an angel-like smile .

“Y-Yes…Eva . You’re just like an older sister . I’m happy . Thank you . ” (Viine)

“Nn, I understand . Cheer up . ” (Eva)

“Eva…” (Viine)

She read her mind, huh?

Viine looked at Eva while smiling tenderly .

“Your Excellency, I was also scared…even when I entered your body, you didn’t hear me . I was frightened to death, which resulted in me leaking water . ” (Helme)

Helme’s voice is still unusually shrill and nervous .

“Everyone, I’m sorry…it’s because I expended large quant.i.ties of mana, spirit, and blood . Turning two people into bloodkin at the same time was too much of a burden, as expected . ” (Shuuya)

“It sure looks like it . ”

“Nn, next time, in turns . ” (Eva)

Eva narrows her eyes .

“Ah! True! So Eva and Rebecca, you became my bloodkin, right!?” (Shuuya)

“Nn, I became

Eva merrily recounts while emitting violet mana from her whole body .

“As for the blood, it’s the same as with Viine, huh? What about you, Rebecca?” (Shuuya)

“I learned , and also acquired the permanent skills , , and . And my skills as well as my combat occupation changed as well . ” (Rebecca)

Rebecca looks delighted, but she also seems slightly confused .

“Hoh, then tell me how they changed . ” (Shuuya)

“Oki . and fused into . My combat occupation changed from to , an occupation I’ve never heard about before . And y’know what, it became a lot easier to manipulate the blue flame at will, like this…” (Rebecca)

Rebecca holds out her right hand, forming a fist .

A blue flame with a color close to that of her eyes engulfed her small fist .

Is it close to the Magic Combat Style or Guidance Sorcery?

“Nya~ nyao . ”

Rollo is surprised by the sudden appearance of a blue flame on Rebecca’s arm .

“Isn’t that amazing?” (Rebecca)

“Nn, Rebecca, you not hot?” (Eva)

“It’s fine . ” (Rebecca)

Rebecca erases the blue flame around her fist while smiling .

“It might be a result of Master’s Light Demon Lucival lineage inciting the growth of various latent abilities such as your mana, spirit, and physical abilities as a high elf which you had from the beginning . I suppose it’s an occupation allowing you to fight from the distance and at the same time allowing you to go into close combat; a unique, specialized occupation similar to the secret arts of the Magic Combat Style and Guidance Sorcery . ”

Having stopped crying, Viine had returned to her usual self . She explained Rebecca’s new combat occupation in a calm manner .

“Just as with Viine, Eva’s and Rebecca’s mana manipulation skills have gone up remarkably . These chosen bloodkin possess a strength befitting for a corps commander who leads troops . ” (Helme)

Helme adds in a good mood .

“Spirit-sama, thanks~ . I can even create a blue fireball, and my fists have turned into weapons as well!” (Rebecca)

Rebecca shadow boxes with nimble movements .

I sure don’t want to experience a retort with those fists being clad in blue flames…

“What magnificent blue flame fists…but please don’t touch my skin with them, okay? I would get burned…” (Helme)

Helme looks at the blue flames while moving her long eyelashes subtly .

She’s a water spirit, thus she might be scared of the blue flames .

“O-Oki, I will be careful . ” (Rebecca)

After seeing Helme’s nervous expression, Rebecca stops unleas.h.i.+ng punches .

“So, what about you, Eva?” (Shuuya)

“Nn, I acquired , and the number of metals attachable to my legs increased . Also, became more powerful and its effective range went up . The things I understand by touching have become more, too!” (Eva)

Eva’s expression of accomplishment is cute .

I can understand since her mind-reading ability has been enhanced as well .

“That’s great . Both of you have become stronger in various ways . That means…” (Shuuya)

At that point I take out two “Virgin Blades” from my item box .

I handed them to the girls .

“Bracelet?”

“Do I put this on?”

“Those are Virgin Blades . Tools for developing your . It’s a training that’s indispensable at the beginning . Let’s first go to the second floor . ” (Viine)

Before I can say anything, Viine simply explained in my stead .

“I will explain the details at the place with the earthenware bucket on the second floor . ” (Shuuya)

“Nn, understood . ” (Eva)

“Hmm . ” (Rebecca)

“Your Excellency, I will meditate on the first floor . Rollo-sama, let’s go . ” (Helme)

“Nyao~”

For a change, Rollo climbs on Helme’s shoulder .

There she repeatedly licked Helme’s cheek .

While smiling, Helme says,

“Rollo-sama, I will give you some special water later, okay?” (Helme)

They leave us while having such pleasant exchange .

Special water?

I questioned doubtfully, but I didn’t say anything .

I take Eva and Rebecca along, moving to the veranda on the second floor .

We head to the bathroom located in the small tower .

“I will have you learn the first stage of as vampires by using the bracelets in this place . ” (Shuuya)

“First stage…this bracelet seems to have a switch . ” (Rebecca)

“Indeed . It’s a device where blades will come out if you press the switch . That will help you to memorize the sensation of shedding blood by wounding your own body . ” (Shuuya)

It will probably be difficult for them to do it if they don’t take off their clothes . I guess I will step outside and have Viine watch them .

“Eeh…? I hate pain…” (Rebecca)

“Nn, got it . Is it better to undress?” (Eva)

“Wai-! Nude…eeeeh? I don’t want that . It’s embarra.s.sing . ” (Rebecca)

Rebecca hates it, but Eva boldly proposes it from her side .

“I know . I will go outside . ” (Shuuya)

“Nn, wait, I’d like you to see all of me, Shuuya . I want to share this blood ritual with my special person…” (Eva)

Eva looks directly into my eyes .

I could sense a deep affection from her violet eyes .

“Roger . I will properly watch you, Eva . ” (Shuuya)

“…Wait, I’m embarra.s.sed, but I want you to watch me as family and fellow Light Demon, Shuuya . ” (Rebecca)

Not wanting to be defeated by Eva, Rebecca strengthens her determination and tells me that with a resolved look .

Both of them are serious .

While accepting their feelings,

“…Sure . I will properly make sure of it with my own eyes . ” (Shuuya)

I nodded deeply and answered, bracing myself .

“Nn . ” (Eva)

Eva transforms her wheelchair into its Segway mode .

And then, while smiling beautifully, she took off her orchid negligee .

…Ooooh…her nude body is a piece of art .

At the peak of each of her two, white, magnificent hills grows a small, enticing, pink bud .

White thighs with a great volume that are plump and soft-looking, and a tight waist .

Oops, I got aroused .

So that’s why Rollo likes them so much .

I want to be allowed to place my head on those thighs .

“When nude…b.o.o.bs, big…”

Rebecca compares her chest with Eva’s voluptuous twin hills…and becomes depressed .

“Shuuya…I want you to put me in the bathtub . ” (Eva)

Eva’s voice trembles a bit .

But to me it sounded like a small, clear bell .

“Okay…” (Shuuya)

I closely embrace Eva while feeling her big b.r.e.a.s.t.s pressing against me, carry her in my arms, and make her sit down inside the bathtub after lowering her slowly .

I want to keep staring at those pretty b.o.o.bs, but I will endure for now .

I separate from the bathtub while standing up .

“…How enviable . ” (Viine)

Viine whispers under her breath .

Being carried in my arms?

“Well then, next it’s your turn, Rebecca . ” (Shuuya)

“F-For h-her to have h-had such v-v-volume…” (Rebecca)

She says with her blue eyes trembling .

The hidden big b.o.o.bs of Eva, were apparently quite heavy, err, shocking .

“Rebecca, you want to stop?” (Shuuya)

“…No, I will do it! I’m only doing something like this…because it’s you, Shuuya . ” (Rebecca)

Rebecca adopts a pose of dauntingly raising her slender index finger .

And she donned an expression which revealed her fiery emotions hidden in her heart .

She glares intensely at me while lacking any hatred in her blue eyes .

Acting uneasy, she hides her chest with one hand, and her nether region with the other .

“…” (Shuuya)

“Jeez! Shuuya, you lecher! Don’t stare at me so much!” (Rebecca)

While focusing to keep up a serious face,

“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it . Well then, should I carry you over in my arms as well, Rebecca?” (Shuuya)

I take one step towards the lovable Rebecca .

“N-No――” (Rebecca)

She stops hiding her body with her hands, and raises her hands clad in blue flames .

“If you hate it…” (Shuuya)

“…No, well…” (Rebecca)

Rebecca’s face becomes bright red and she shakes her head .

And then, while lowering her arms and casting her eyes down as if having resigned herself, she quietly mumbles “…Please . ”

“Got it――” (Shuuya)

I hug the nude Rebecca, and then carry her in my arms .

Because of her small build, she’s light .

“Kyaa…Shuu…ya . ” (Rebecca)

Rebecca’s face reddens even further .

Her eyes become moist .

Somehow this is really awkward…

There are only few steps until the bathtub, but…

I carry Rebecca there

“I will lower you now . ” (Shuuya)

“Oki…” (Rebecca)

I get away from the bathtub after supporting Rebecca .

Eva grasps Rebecca’s hand inside the bathtub and nods .

“It’s time . Both of you press the switch on your bracelet . It will hurt at first, but keep at it . ” (Shuuya)

“…Here I go!” (Rebecca)

“Nn . ” (Eva)

Both pressed the switch, and the shedding of blood started .

◇◇◇◇

A few hours pa.s.sed…since the start of the ceremony .

Neither of them has grasped the sensation yet .

It’s taking them longer than Viine .

The blood ritual that made use of the Virgin Blades lasted until night .

Finally,

“――I did it . , manipulating blood, wow . My combat occupation changed to . ” (Eva)

Eva explained while looking as if in trance .

While emitting violet mana from her whole body, she sucked up the blood that had acc.u.mulated at her feet .

As she does, the violet color changes its hue as if being blended with blood .

“Ah, me too . I acquired . My combat occupation also changed into …” (Rebecca)

Next Rebecca acquired the skill, too .

With the blood that acc.u.mulated in the bathtub being absorbed by both of them, it vanished in the blink of an eye .

“Congratulations, you two . This completes the first stage . ” (Shuuya)

“Nn, thanks . ” (Eva)

“Thanks . It was embarra.s.sing, but I’m happy that you watched me, Shuuya . ” (Rebecca)

Both girls’ bodies were stained in blood, but now there’s no trace of any blood left on them anymore .

With this both fully became my kin .

What joyous event . Viine, who watched together with me until the end, also smiles as she congratulates them .

Next up is the matter with the mirrors, I guess . But, that’s no big deal by now .

But, before speaking about that…

I take off my clothes .

“…You two, you’ve made your resolve, right?” (Shuuya)

“Nn . ” (Eva)

“…Yes . ” (Rebecca)

Eva smiles like an angel .

Rebecca widens her blue eyes to the limit, staring at my nude body .

The time to steal their sacred virginity has come .

I slowly approach the two girls .

I start by pus.h.i.+ly kissing Eva, as if tearing down her angelic smile .

Then I separate my mouth from hers with spit hanging in-between, just to next hug the small body of Rebecca, obviously lifting her up in order to steal her small lips .

I don’t know whether Rollo would have been shocked, but after that it turned into a pa.s.sionate liaison with both of them until the early morning hours .

◇◇◇◇

Morning .

Eva, Rebecca and Viine sleep in my bedroom while looking miserable .

It’s not like I did it with all three of them at the same time, but I certainly had sufficient s.e.x with each of them individually…

I messed up Eva, I messed up Rebecca as well, and after them, Viine, who had endured while watching ferociously, was attacked by me…

It’s not that I can finally think clearly after stilling my s.e.xual urges, but I head to the veranda on the second floor .

I pa.s.s through the arched exit leading out of the room with the wooden floor and the fireplace, arriving on the veranda .

Just like the other day, I sit down on the chair and drink my usual morning coffee, err no, my morning black sweet water . Meanwhile I looked at the courtyard which was illuminated by the morning sun .

Once again I can see Helme watering one of the two big trees growing in the corner of the courtyard .

Once our eyes met, she flew up to the veranda where I’m comfortably resting while emitting a sheet of water spray .

“――Your Excellency, good morning . ” (Helme)

“Mornin’ . Helme, you’re always watering those trees, aren’t you?” (Shuuya)

“Yes . I’m sharing a bit of my mana with them . The tree spirits are delighted, too . ” (Helme)

I can’t see anything like those bonchhichi child spirits, but it seems as if she can .

“I see . Helme, you want to have a sip of this, too?” (Shuuya)

I try offering her the pitcher with black sweet water .

“Yes . ” (Helme)

“Here you go . ” (Shuuya)

She gulps it down her throat while causing her bluish black, leafy skin to make waves .

“Delicious! Despite being sweet, it gives me a refres.h.i.+ng feeling . ” (Helme)

“Right? Feel free to drink up all of it . ” (Shuuya)

“Okay!” (Helme)

She’s a spirit, but seeing as the blue fruits of the Millenium Plant are alright, she likes sweet stuff, I guess .

She happily downed all the black sweet water .

“Hey, guild master! You’re living here, right?” (Benett)

“Shuuyaaaa, you become our guild master, didn’t yooou~? Where are yooou~?”

Oh? I hear familiar female voices from the courtyard .

“Helme, I will go greet them . ” (Shuuya)

“Okay . ” (Helme)

I jump down from the veranda .

Using as foothold, I got down to the courtyard in exhilaration .

“Eh? You came flying?” (Benett)

“Shuuya! Long time no see!” (Veronika)

It’s Benett and Veronika, members of 【Remains of the Moon】 .

“Yo, Benett . Veronika, you too . Going by your appearance, you seem to be doing fine . ” (Shuuya)

“Yeah . I heard that you defeated Mad Knight ― thanks . Light-based attacks are my weak point after all . …But, rather than that, you’ve become our guild master while I was asleep! I was startled after hearing about it from Mel!” (Veronika)

Veronika holds the edges of her gothic dress and bows cutely, and then twirls around on the spot .

Benett watched her silently .

“Well, I just went with the flow . From now on I will have you follow my orders as well . ” (Shuuya)

“Aww, how cool…hasn’t your deep, pure male scent somehow become stronger and more intense than before? You totally made my heart throb really hard with nothing but those words just now――” (Veronika)

She approached me with a playful mood, but I evade her splendidly with an unpolished, showy half turn .

“――Jeez, stupid guild master, if a sweet girl tries to hug you, you should open your arms widely and welcome her, don’t you think? Humph . ” (Veronika)

“Veronika, I will shower you with my blood, if you get too c.o.c.ky . ” (Shuuya)

“Ugh, that look…I sensed it once again…” (Veronika)

This one is a lost case…

Probably because my darkness attribute grew quite a bit, Veronika has become madly in love with me .

“…Verocchi, don’t put the guild master on the spot . But, for this girl to be this crazy about him…” (Benett)

Benett squints due to Veronika’s weird actions while having a strange look .

“But, listen, Shuuya has become our comrade, no? She mentioned it many times before, didn’t she? That Shuuya will become our comrade if I do my best to improve the bone puppets . ” (Veronika)

“…Yeah, I remember that quite well . You were promised by Mel, right?” (Benett)

“Yeah! Mel kept her promise . ” (Veronika)

She made such a promise?

d.a.m.ned Mel, it’s quite possible that she came asking for my help…in order to pull me in .

That vixen…even though she obediently bowed her head in front of me, she f.u.c.kin’ laughed behind my back, eh…? What a cunning, sarcastic woman .

But, no matter how often I think about it, she’s interesting . No wonder that she’s formerly been the guild master of a dark guild .

She’s a woman with an ulterior motive, but she’s also a quick-witted woman who manipulates me .

She’s quite useful…if she wants, it might be just fine to talk with her about becoming one of my chosen bloodkin, as
