Second floor of the residence, master bedroom.
Yotsuya Miko placed her hand on the doorknob, turned it gently, and the door opened.
The light in the room was neither bright nor dim.
The overhead smart LED dimmer had been set to a soft glow.
Lin was sitting up, leaning against the headboard.
He was holding his phone. Seeing Yotsuya Miko enter, he turned off the screen and placed it on the round table by the bed.
"Come here."
He patted the space beside him with his left hand.
Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko's pretty face flushed slightly as she quietly closed the door.
Then, she came and sat on the edge of the bed.
Lin reached out directly, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her soft, red lips, his hands exploring up and down.
Yotsuya Miko responded with passion.
Meanwhile, on the third floor.
Tohru, having sensed Yotsuya Miko heading to Lin's bedroom, got out of bed. After a moment's hesitation, she too quietly left her room.
Normally, she wouldn't have cared.
But Yotsuya Miko had gone into Lin's bedroom.
Since it involved Lin,
she had to care.
By the time Tohru reached the second floor,
Lin and Yotsuya Miko had already started a decisive game.
The loser had to clap their hands.
Though in this game, Yotsuya Miko was no match for Lin.
"Hm, what's this?!"
Hearing the commotion from Lin's room, Tohru was startled, her expression turning strange.
She was, after all, a dragon who had lived for tens of thousands of years and traveled far and wide.
Although she had no personal experience in the matter,
she understood the basics.
She instantly realized what kind of game Lin and Yotsuya Miko were playing.
"Lin..."
Tohru's cheeks flushed, her eyes flickering with an unreadable emotion.
She stood there for a moment.
Then, she turned and went back to her own bedroom.
The night passed in a flash.
At 6:50 in the morning.
Lin opened his eyes and cast Sky Magic on Yotsuya Miko, who was in his arms. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get out of bed.
Once the Sky Magic was cast,
Lin woke Yotsuya Miko up.
Yotsuya Miko returned to her third-floor bedroom, took her school uniform and underwear from her bag, and went to the bathroom to shower.
Lin showered in the second-floor bathroom.
After they had both finished, Tohru had already prepared breakfast.
They all went to the dining table to eat.
Tohru gave Yotsuya Miko a somewhat peculiar look.
Yotsuya Miko smiled, feeling a bit guilty.
Tohru was also Lin's clansman.
She would definitely play the 'combat game' with Lin eventually.
Last night had been so wild.
Judging from that look just now,
Tohru had obviously figured it out.
At this thought, Yotsuya Miko could feel her face getting slightly hot.
Breakfast ended in a somewhat delicate atmosphere. Lin and Yotsuya Miko grabbed their school bags and headed to the station together.
Yotsuya Miko sent a message to Yurikawa Hana, telling her to go straight to school and not wait for her today.
A little after 8:10 AM.
Lin walked into the classroom and greeted Kotegawa Yui when he saw her:
"Morning, Kotegawa-san."
"Good morning, Lin-san."
Kotegawa Yui's slightly stern expression softened a little.
Watching Lin greet the other classmates, she was suddenly reminded of the image that had popped into her head yesterday.
Her fair cheeks turned a faint red.
She quickly averted her gaze, trying her best to suppress the trace of restlessness in her heart.
After greeting Yumiko Miura's group, Lin went to his seat.
"Good morning, Lin."
Just as Lin sat down, Megumi Katō took the initiative to greet him.
This was the first time she had been the one to start.
Their eyes met, and Lin nodded with a smile. "Good morning."
After her greeting, Megumi Katō looked at Lin for a moment before turning back around.
Lin smiled at this. As he took his textbook out of his bag, he summoned the Codex of All Things with a thought.
An entry had just lit up.
Nickname: Kotegawa Yui
Level: White
Description: Disciplinary Committee Member
Acquired: Swimming Mastery
...
Lin then glanced at the already illuminated entries for the three student council members.
Nickname: Kaguya Shinomiya
Level: White
Description: Her body is more honest than her words
Acquired: Archery Mastery
...
Nickname: Chika Fujiwara
Level: White
Description: Cancer of the Earth?

...
Nickname: Nodoka Manabe

...
With a thought, Lin chose to claim the reward from Kotegawa Yui's entry.
He instantly became an expert swimmer.
If he wanted to, he could go to the Olympics and win a gold medal in swimming.
A few minutes later, the bell rang.
Time flew by during class.
After the afternoon classes ended, Lin asked Kotegawa Yui to come with him to the student council office so everyone could get acquainted.
Kotegawa Yui fit in quickly.
After all, aside from the still not-fully-thawed Kaguya Shinomiya, everyone else in the student council was quite approachable.
Time flew by, and the days turned into nights.
Before he knew it, it was Friday evening.
Akashiya Moka, Yotsuya Miko, and Tohru were finally gathered together.
With Lin managing the situation,
the three of them quickly became familiar with one another.
After all, they were all Lin's clansmen, so getting along harmoniously was very important.
Watching the three of them interacting pleasantly, Lin's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
A little after 11:30 PM.
In the first-floor living room.
"Hmm...?"
Lin suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly and looked toward the courtyard.
Tohru did the same, her golden-red vertical pupils narrowing slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Yotsuya Miko and Akashiya Moka looked on, confused and curious, following their gaze toward the courtyard.
A streak of light landed in the courtyard.
The light dissipated to reveal a figure.
"Akua-nee!!!"
Akashiya Moka was surprised to see the figure that had suddenly appeared.
The newcomer was none other than Shuzen Akua.
The seven-day deadline wasn't up yet.
Yotsuya Miko was also surprised when she heard Akashiya Moka's exclamation.
That person is Moka's sister!
So she's a vampire too?
Tohru's eyes shifted slightly upon hearing Akashiya Moka's words.
"Lin..."
Tohru looked at Lin, as if seeking his instruction.
Lin withdrew his gaze and gave Tohru a reassuring look.
"Who's this?!"
At that moment, Shuzen Akua in the courtyard also saw Yotsuya Miko and Tohru. Tohru, in particular, made her pupils contract.
For a brief instant, she had felt a mortal threat.
The source of this threat was the blonde woman with horns on her head and a large tail.
She also felt a faint pressure on her bloodline,
as if the other party were an incredibly powerful being of extremely noble lineage.
Fortunately, at Lin's signal, Tohru retracted the pressure she had directed at Shuzen Akua, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.
She gave Tohru a deep look.
Shuzen Akua suppressed the many emotions stirring within her, forcing herself to calm down before turning to Lin:
"My deepest apologies for showing up so suddenly at this hour."
"It's fine."
Lin smiled to show he didn't mind and asked her:
"So, have you made up your mind?"
"I..."
Shuzen Akua was just about to answer.
"Hm?!"
Just then, Lin and Tohru, one after the other, detected a very faint, prying gaze, and their eyes narrowed.
"Lin, someone is watching us."
A hint of vigilance appeared in Tohru's eyes.
"??!!"
Hearing Tohru's words, Yotsuya Miko, Akashiya Moka, and Shuzen Akua were all startled and immediately became alert.
None of them had sensed a thing.
"This is..."
Lin vaguely sensed something. He glanced at Shuzen Akua, then looked toward a certain direction outside, a slight smile playing on his lips.
It seems a big fish followed her here.
