Deep underground, time lost its meaning. It wasn't until Maya Tachibana arrived that Yuu Hoshimiya realized it was already the morning of the next day.
Looking at the sleeping Seiran Hoshi and the beautiful silver mark on her pale, flat abdomen, Yuu smiled with satisfaction.
There were no more surprises yesterday. Seiran's deepest wish had indeed shifted to learning magic. With Yuu's relentless assaults, his promises, and his display of supernatural power, the gray-haired beauty had opened her heart completely in a frenzy of pleasure, allowing him to successfully forge the Destiny Contract.
After the contract was sealed, Yuu, in high spirits, went for several more rounds. Seiran, equally excited by the fulfillment of her lifelong dream—and boosted by the contract's effects—pushed herself to keep up with him. Once her mouth and lower lips were exhausted, her top-tier legs and feet became the main event.
The battle finally ended when the gray-haired beauty was covered in marks, her limbs limp and useless. They fell asleep in each other's arms.
It's a pity I didn't have stockings yesterday, Yuu mused. Those officially certified legs are truly top-tier!
Yuu cleaned up and left the underground training ground without waking Seiran. She had starved for a day and then endured a marathon of intense combat; she needed the rest.
"Maya, from now on, Seiran will help you with the training program. You handle melee combat; she handles marksmanship..." Yuu briefed Maya as they walked into the soft morning sunlight. He left the specifics of their cooperation for them to figure out.
Maya wasn't surprised. She had seen the contract mark on Seiran's intimate area the moment she entered the room. Clearly, the skilled international criminal had been tamed.
"Understood, Boss."
They walked side-by-side to the black sedan parked nearby. It was just the two of them; Maya drove, and Yuu sat in the passenger seat.
Sensing Yuu's aura beside her, Maya felt her body heat up. Her tall, curvaceous figure shifted restlessly in the seat, her almond eyes darting toward him with longing.
Yuu noticed her gaze and chuckled. "After breakfast, I'll fulfill the reward I promised yesterday. Want to join in?"
Without outsiders present, Maya didn't hesitate. She nodded decisively. "Thank you, Boss."
Yuu was amused. Being thanked for fucking someone... it was a feeling that never got old.
The "reward" session didn't take long. Even with the addition of the formidable Maya, it was over in two hours.
Women who trained regularly had high stamina and vigorous energy, which often translated to a high sex drive. The bodyguard squad, led by Maya, fit this description perfectly—especially after tasting the forbidden fruit. However, desire and tolerance weren't always equal. High desire often meant high sensitivity, especially after a period of abstinence. Even Yuu found his sensitivity heightened after a week of celibacy, though he adapted quickly.
For these beauties who only received occasional rewards, the intensity was overwhelming. They were easily defeated by the ferocious dragon, crying out and rolling their eyes back in ecstasy time and time again.
Before leaving the Suzuki estate, Yuu called Akane Koizumi. Confirming she was home and free, he had a driver take him to her villa.
Akane's old butler, Akama, was familiar with Yuu by now and treated him as the future master of the house. He asked politely why Yuu hadn't visited for a few days. Yuu gave a perfunctory answer and went to find Akane.
Akama was essentially Akane's servant, assisting with magic and chores. His attitude toward Yuu had shifted from indifference to respect only after Yuu became Akane's apprentice and potential husband. Yuu didn't dislike him, but he didn't care for him either. Once his relationship with Akane was official and the "Magical Girl Squad" plan was underway, Akama would be retired. Like the Suzuki servants, he would receive a generous severance package to live out his days in peace. Yuu had already discussed this with Akane, and she agreed; retirement was a kindness for the old man.
Once Akama left, Yuu planned to replace him with a couple of magically talented maids from his new squad to handle Akane's needs.
Yuu walked into the living room to find Akane eating breakfast in her pajamas.
She yawned lazily. "Eaten yet? Want some?"
Before being a witch, Akane was a high school girl. Sleeping late during summer break was standard procedure. If Yuu hadn't called, she probably wouldn't have woken up until noon.
"I'll wait upstairs," Yuu said, shaking his head. As they grew closer, Akane cared less about her image in front of him. While it was proof of their bond, he occasionally missed the mysterious, aloof witch she used to be.
Akane didn't make him wait long. Having servants was nice; she just had to eat, no cooking or cleaning required. It was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go back.
Up in her room, Akane flopped onto her messy bed, rolling around before turning to watch Yuu tidy up with magic.
Akama cleaned the rest of the house, but Akane's room was off-limits to everyone but her—until Yuu came along. Her room was cluttered with magical artifacts and typical teenage girl items: accessories, makeup, magazines. Usually, she let it pile up until it was unbearable, then cleaned it all at once with magic. Telekinesis was draining for her, so she didn't use it daily.
But Yuu, with his mild OCD (a habit born of poverty and reinforced by living with Ran and Seimi), couldn't stand the mess. With his immense mana and spirit, tidying up with magic was effortless, so he did it every time he visited.
Watching her room organize itself, Akane smiled, kicking her bare white feet in the air. "So, is the matter resolved?"
Yuu had told her about his plans, but she had lost interest in Kaito Kuroba, so she hadn't intervened. Besides, watching Yuu chase other girls just annoyed her, so she preferred to ignore it.
"Yeah, Kaito's identity is..."
Yuu filled her in on the gossip about the Kudo and Kuroba families, glossing over Aoko Nakamori. There was no point mentioning other girls when he knew it would irritate her. Unless the girls were close friends or relatives, Yuu avoided bringing up one lover while being intimate with another.
Everyone knew the score; he had been honest about his harem. Let nature take its course, and a harmonious Crystal Palace would be built in time.
