Chapter 175: New Talent and Spring Break
With the matter settled, Touko extended her fragrant tongue and began licking downward from Haruto's cheek.
Since he hadn't gone out after their last cultivation session, Haruto was only wearing underwear, which conveniently accommodated the succubus lady.
"Haruto, how often do you mean by 'regularly'?"
Touko removed his tight-fitting underwear, her soft little hands continuously stroking the massive dragon head while her small mouth circled around the dragon's body as she asked.
Haruto adjusted his position, facing toward Tsukino's tightly closed legs, and said, "How about twice a month? Any more than that, and your current strength wouldn't be able to handle it."
Haruto's power was too strong—or rather, Touko and Kanna were too weak, not even reaching A-rank. It would take them a long time to digest the life energy.
However, each time they cultivated with Haruto, their innate succubus abilities combined with the acceleration from dual cultivation would lead to significant progress in their strength. They would likely make breakthroughs soon.
Touko furrowed her delicate brows. Her succubus instincts told her that twice a month seemed rather sparse, but considering how effortlessly she had climaxed seven or eight times today—with countless more orgasms and copious amounts of essence yet to come throughout the night—she wisely agreed.
"Alright, that works. I'll let you know once I've decided on the other candidate."
Touko glanced back at Kanna, giving her a reassuring look that said "patience." Since Haruto had granted her the authority to choose, she certainly wouldn't let this opportunity benefit anyone else.
However, this wasn't the right moment to bring it up in front of Haruto. If he trusted Kanna, he would have simply appointed her directly.
Clearly, there were matters unsuitable for discussion in this setting.
If it were girls like Kasumi Takamine, they would have bluntly stated their thoughts without attempting to decipher Haruto's intentions or overthinking the situation.
While "teaching students according to their aptitude" wasn't entirely appropriate here, the underlying principle was similar.
"Then, Haruto, please pay the deposit first," Touko said, taking the massive length into her mouth.
Haruto arched his back in response, his head resting against Yomisawa's fragrant, soft thighs while his tongue teasingly traced the delicate folds between the pure beauty's legs.
...
After a night of chaotic and debauched battles, the two succubi who had borne the brunt of Haruto's onslaught lay completely spent. They likely wouldn't be able to leave their beds without a day or two of rest.
Yet even in their unconscious state, worn out from the intense lovemaking, faint smiles of blissful satisfaction lingered on their lips.
This was undoubtedly the outcome they had desired.
The next morning, Haruto carried the mobility-impaired Tsukino back to the Takamine residence. Her temperament made her entirely unsuited for working under Touko—it would be far more appropriate for Kasumi to guide her instead.
After settling Tsukino, Haruto found himself with a rare moment of leisure. He opened his personal status panel to review his current information—something he hadn't done in quite some time.
His continuous conquests of beautiful girls during this period had yielded mostly repetitive talents, though he had acquired several new ones as well.
The most surprising gain came from Kanna: the [Drug Resistance] talent.
As the name implied, this ability significantly enhanced his resistance to drugs, though whether it would also affect the efficacy of restorative items would require experimentation to confirm.

Out of habit, Haruto silently added two lines at the end. No matter how he looked at it, the panel seemed too simplistic with just talents and skills.
But precisely because this thing was rigid and simplistic, it saved him from overthinking conspiracy theories. Moreover, without a shop or mission system, there wasn't much room for conspiracy theories anyway.
Identical or similar talents merged directly. Apart from [Drug Resistance], the only other talent was [Precision] from Saya.
As a talented archery beauty and the next archery club president, having this talent was perfectly reasonable.
This talent was a passive one, significantly improving Haruto's magic accuracy. However, to achieve perfect accuracy, he still needed plenty of practice.
That said, in daily life, when tossing things into the trash can, he never missed anymore.
Well... given Haruto's control, unless the trash can was hundreds of meters away or had grown legs and run off, he wouldn't have missed in the first place.
In terms of skills, Haruto got lucky once—he acquired [Sketching] from Hinata Sakuramiya. Though it was only at the beginner level and a rather useless life skill,
obtaining this skill indicated that similar life skills could also be acquired through dual cultivation.
Skills like cooking, driving, soccer, and so on.
Haruto didn't particularly need these abilities, but it was like the card-collecting game he was playing had just updated with a whole new set of illustrations.
Back when Haruto played card games, he always tried to collect the full set without spending money, and it was the same now.
If he had the chance, he'd still want to try for a complete collection.
In the blink of an eye, it was late February.
The third semester at Kuoh Academy was about to end. The third-year students were nearing graduation, and those with excellent grades could advance directly to Kuoh Academy's university division.
After the less-than-a-month winter break, Haruto would finally enter his second year of high school. Rias and Akeno would truly become the big sisters of the entire high school division.
Just as Haruto planned to use the winter break to bond with Rias and the others, hoping to get an advance and acquire the full pure-blooded devil lineage early, the newly established second organization brought him crucial intel.
Kasumi Takamine's organization was the first one, and its name was the same as the company's.
Touko's organization was the second. She couldn't openly establish a company, and as for the name... Haruto hadn't thought of one yet.
Haruto forwarded the email from Touko to Rias and, after a moment's thought, also sent it to Amano.
In early March, as the winter break began, the long-abandoned church finally welcomed a group of 'clergy'.
One of the girls under Touko happened to live nearby and encountered these unsettling individuals.
After learning about magic, the imaginative girl's creativity soared. Based solely on the bad vibe, she reported the incident.
Upon investigation, Touko discovered traces of fallen angels and immediately reported it to Haruto.
Nearly half a year had passed since Haruto subdued the trio of Amano—acquiring the Sacred Gear—and the three Fallen Angels faked their deaths.
Back then, Amano and the other two had deliberately monitored the church for a while, but no one seemed to care, and there was no reaction from the Fallen Angels' headquarters.
Now, suddenly sending people again was certainly not for their sake but for some other purpose.
As for what that purpose was, it remained unknown for now. However, as the opposing side, Rias couldn't just sit back and do nothing with such a large group entering.
On the other hand, Haruto hoped to use this opportunity to allow Amano and the other two to stop hiding and, ideally, fully integrate into the Occult Research Club.
Although so much time had passed, and Haruto had worked to deepen the bond between the trio of Fallen Angels and the others, there was still a thin, delicate barrier between them.
Like a virgin's hymen, it was easy to break, but only if you could reach that mysterious forbidden zone.
March 7th, the second day of spring break, all members of the Occult Research Club gathered.
"Originally, it wasn't necessary for everyone to come, but I thought it's been a while since we last had a club activity."
In the Occult Research Club's activity room, Rias, dressed in casual clothes, sat behind the desk and addressed her group of servants, led by Haruto.
"Moreover, according to my investigation, there's a high-ranking figure among this group of Fallen Angels, so I've decided that everyone will participate in this operation. Consider it our club's practical activity for the winter break."
Akeno stood at Rias's side, wearing a loose red and white shrine maiden outfit, her expression serious. "Everyone, be prepared. It's very likely that conflicts will arise."
Haruto knew that Akeno's shrine maiden attire was her battle outfit, but the pair of surging peaks on her chest made the pure shrine maiden look somewhat lewd.
They were just too big. No matter what she wore, with that kind of chest size, it was bound to come off as indecent.
Fortunately, having been exposed to the likes of Natsuha and other unrealistically proportioned figures, he quickly suppressed those improper thoughts.
