Yukinoshita Haruno spotted Lynn and immediately jumped into his arms.
She clung to his arm and snuggled up to him. "We heard you were attacked, my lord. We were so worried!"
Lynn hadn't returned to the manor all night.
Even though everyone knew he was strong, his familia couldn't help but be concerned.
Haruno suddenly paused, leaned in close, and took a long sniff.
A strange look flashed in her eyes.
She raised an eyebrow. "New girl joined the harem?"
Lynn nodded.
Haruno's eyes narrowed. "Old Satan Faction?"
Lynn patted her head. "Good girl."
She rolled her eyes. "Please, I'm not a toddler."
Tsk
No matter where Lynn went, he always had to build a harem.
Speaking of which
Haruno remembered why she was here and turned toward the tied-up Sayaka.
"There she is, Lord Lynn," she said like a madam presenting a prized girl.
Raising an eyebrow, she grinned. "Not bad, right?"
Lynn stroked his chin, eyeing the curves highlighted by the ropes. He nodded. "She's got potential."
His [Devil's Piece] was glowing faintly.
Another great candidate for the Familia.
He opened the cell and squatted in front of Sayaka. Lifting her chin, he brought her face up.
"Mmgh"
Sayaka made a soft sound.
Feeling his touch, she frowned slightly and slowly opened her blurry eyes.
She saw Lynn's face.
She froze for a second, then her eyes went wide. "A-a-a-a MAN?!"
She turned pale! Goosebumps exploded across her skin, and she started shaking all over!
Her vision blurred, brain overloaded, and with a dramatic backward flop
She fainted.
Her body still twitched like a fish out of water.
Lynn: ""
Haruno: ""
Haruno was stunned. This was a first for her.
And earlier too she'd fainted for no clear reason.
Lynn explained, "Androphobia."
Though it'd been a while, he still vaguely remembered.
"Androphobia?" Haruno blinked.
No wonder.
So back then, she must've fainted from hearing Haruno say she'd be punished by Lynn?
A twitch formed at the corner of Haruno's eye.
This was a bit extreme, wasn't it?
She looked at the unconscious Sayaka and asked, "So, what now?"
Lynn's eyes gleamed with devilish intent, and he gave a faint smirk.
"To make her part of the Familia looks like we'll need to start desensitization training."
Haruno saw the evil grin forming on Lynn's face, and a chill ran down her spine.
She glanced at Sayaka with sympathy.

Desensitization Success (Bonus)
Lynn Group Headquarters
Lynn lounged on the sofa, nestling the unconscious Kirasaka Sayaka in his arms.
He then cast a wake-up spell into her body.
"Mmm"
Sayaka groaned as she was yanked back to consciousnessonly to find Lynn's face filling her vision again.
"!!!"
Her breath caught. Her head was spinning all over again.
Lynn watched her with a faint, amused smirk. "Every time you pass out, I'm taking off one piece of your clothing."
"!!!"
Instant clarity. Sayaka glared at him, teeth clenched. "Y-You shameless bastard!"
Lynn remained unfazed, his fingers already working on the buttons of her blouse.
"W-Wait!"
Panicked, Sayaka grabbed his hand
"Eek!"
The moment their skin touched, she recoiled like she'd been electrocuted, snatching her hand back.
Lynn's lips curled, but he didn't stop.
Sayaka trembled, her voice shaky. "I-I didn't faint!"
"The first time counted," Lynn replied flatly.
Sayaka: "!!!"
"Y-You evil!"
Her breathing grew ragged. Desperate, she ignored her own phobia of touching him and grabbed his hand againbut her strength was no match for his.
"N-No please" Her plea was barely a whisper.
The next second, her jacket hit the floor.
"Ghk!"
Eyes wide, Sayaka's brain short-circuited. And then fainted.
Lynn sighed. "That's all it takes?"
This desensitization training still has a long way to go.
Another wake-up spell.
"D-Devil!" Sayaka gasped the moment she came to.
Lynn grinned. "Congratulations. Correct answer."
Then, he made her watch as another piece of clothing was stripped away.
"This this is hell!!"
Tears welled in Sayaka's eyes, her heart pounding wildly. But Lynn showed no mercy, methodically peeling away layer after layer.
Faint. Wake up. Repeat.
Until
Sayaka lay naked in his arms, her body twitching occasionally, her generous curves jiggling with each tremble.
Her eyes were vacant, cheeks wet, a trail of drool at the corner of her lipsutterly broken.
"Hmm..."
"Clothes run out fast. If she keeps fainting, we'll have to move on to physical desensitization."
Lynn said as his fingers sank into her most private part.
"Mhm!!"
Sayaka's back arched violently, a stifled moan escaping her lips. Her body quaked like a leaf in a storm.
With a final shudderSplash~~~
Yukinoshita Haruno's jaw dropped like some cartoon character.
T-That's a skill?!
Even Lynn paused, fascinatedhe barely even put in effort.
When Sayaka finally stopped, limp and unresponsive, Lynn resumed his mission.
But this time, she just lay there, a lifeless doll.
He stopped and nodded.
"Desensitization complete."
Haruno's eye twitched.
This is how you 'desensitize' someone?!
Lynn tossed Sayaka onto the sofa and began cleaning his hands.
Haruno tilted her head. "Not turning her into a devil?"
"Let her recover first."
"I see~" Haruno purred, pressing against him. Her breath tickled his ear. "Then"
"Since we're here, do you want to see my new forms, Lynn-sama?"
Lynn smirked, pulling her closer. "Yeah, but you alone won't be enough."
Haruno licked her lips. "I'll call Saya and her mother up."
His eyes darkened. A hand fisted in her hair, guiding her downward. "Your mouth is the best, Haruno."
...
Soon, Saya peeked into the officeonly to find Haruno dutifully cleansing Lynn's d*ck. Her head was moving really fast up and down.
"Mmph!" Haruno waved urgently.
Saya's eyes sparkled. She hadn't received Lynn's rewards in ages.
The office quickly echoed with unrestrained debauchery.
"Mmm"
The sound stirred Sayaka. Blinking groggily, she turned toward the source
S-S-Sinful!!
Her bare skin flushed pink as heat rushed to her face. She slapped her hands over her eyesbut still peeked through her fingers.
Thump-thump!
Her heart raced, her entire body burning. Even her exhales felt hot.
YetA strange realization struck her.
I'm NOT fainting?
Her throat dried as she watched the show.
Is my androphobia cured?
Testing the theory, she recalled a random man's face
Eugh!
Instant disgust. Her skin crawled.
But the moment she looked back at Lynn, the nausea vanishedreplaced by something warmer.
"..."
Good news: Her phobia had improved.
Bad news: Only for this devil.
W-WHY?!
And why did she become like this?
Meanwhile, Harunobent over the desk as she was changing her posespotted Sayaka's state and smirked.

The Next Day Shuchiin Academy
Himeragi Yukina stepped through the gates, her expression lost. Taking a deep breath, she tightened her grip on her bag and headed inside.
Class 1-3
Unlike the usual chat, the room was dead silent.
Even the lawbreakers held their breath, terrified of disturbing the man by the window Lynn.
The students sat stiffly. How could they not fear him?
The guy who shared their classes was a monster. Sure, he'd saved thembut sharing a room with that?
Gulp.
Someone's swallow echoed. He clamped a hand over his throat, horrified.
Lynn rested his chin on his hand, sighing inwardly.
Too tense.
Pulling out his phone, he texted Minamiya Natsuki:
[Lynn: "Natsuki-chan, didn't you erase the civilians' memories?"]
[Natsuki: "Isn't this better for your harem?"]
[Natsuki: "Now, half the schoolgirls want to join your harem~"]
Lynn: ""
The Supernatural Research Club would probably see a surge in applicants today.
Poke!
A delicate finger tapped his arm.
Turning, he met the calm gaze of a girl with flawless featuresMegumi Kato.
Lynn smiled. "What's up, Megumi?"
Megumi Kato blinked. "You always notice me so easily."
And never forgot her name.
In a school where even teachers overlooked her, Lynn stood out.
"Is it because of your powers?" she mused, then shook her head. "But Natsuki-sensei still can't see me."
Lynn chuckled. "Your stealth is your supernatural ability. It's probably high-tier."
Megumi Kato puffed her cheeks. "You're teasing me."
The class exchanged glances.
Who is Lynn talking to?
A chill ran down their spines. A ghost?!
The silence grew heavieruntil Lynn's gaze swept over them. Instant obedience.
Megumi Kato smiled faintly. "You're like a king here."
Lynn shrugged. "Some call me that. The Devil King, to be exact."
"Devil?"
"Yep."
Megumi Kato hesitatedthen whispered: "Does that invitation still stand?"
Lynn raised a brow. "Which one?"
They'd talked a lot as desk neighbors.
"The one about becoming yours."
.
.

Normal Day at School
Lynn looked at Megumi Kato's calm face and couldn't help but smile.
Didn't Natsuki-chan say this would happen?
"Natsuki-chan is doing her best for me. No wonder she didn't erase their memories."
Back when he'd just awakened the system, he'd invited Megumi too.
But she thought he was just being a cringe-worthy chunibyo.
She even sweetly checked his forehead for a fever, worry flashing in her eyes.
Thinking back to that scene, Lynn's mouth twitched a little.
Looks like things are finally falling into place.
Still, some things needed to be said clearly.
After thinking for a moment, Lynn asked, "Megumi, do you know what it means to become mine? Joining my 'familia'?"
Megumi blinked, glanced over at the group of stunning girls in the Supernatural Research Club, and tilted her head." Hmm become part of your harem?"
Lynn: ""
He rubbed his temples and sighed. "When did my reputation get this bad?"
Megumi looked puzzled. "Isn't it true though?"
""
Lynn paused, then shrugged. "Well I guess you're not wrong."
Megumi's expression turned complicated. "You just admitted it so easily, huh"
"Everyone already knows anyway."
"Still," Lynn added, not wanting to scare her off, "even if you do become part of my harem, as the leader, I still respect everyone's choices."
At the end of the day, yes, they were a harem, but he never forced anything on them.
...Okay, he forced some, but that was for the disobedient ones. Right?
Megumi seemed deep in thought.
As if something had clicked in her mind, a blush suddenly spread across Megumi's usually calm face.
She raised her hands and gently covered her cheeks, whispering, "I see"
Yep, she was imagining some R-18 rated scenes.
Lynn noticed her flustered state, surprise flashing in his eyes.
This was the first time he'd ever seen Megumi like this.
He quickly took out his phone and snap!captured the moment.
Rare photo: acquired!
Megumi froze, then looked up at Lynn, confused.
He smiled gently. "You were just way too cute right now. I couldn't help it."
"Mmm~"
Megumi blushed even harder, puffed out her cheeks a bit, but didn't ask him to delete the photo. She just turned her face away and avoided his gaze.
Lynn chuckled softly.
Then he asked, "So? Still want to join my harem?"
"Can you not say it like this?"
In her heart, Lynn was special. He was the only person who'd never ignored her since they were kids.
The only one who remembered her name.
If she was going to spend her life with someone, Megumi hoped it would be Lynn.
Even if he was kind of a playboy.
"Oh, and by the way, once you join my familia, you'll be reincarnated as a devil~" Lynn added.
"Eh?" Megumi blinked. "A devil?"
She looked at him uncertainly. "Like the same kind of devil as you?"
Lynn nodded.
Megumi blinked again. "But you..."
"Not that different from being human?"
"Or wait" she tilted her head, curious. "Is this appearance of yours a disguise?"
Lynn deadpanned, "This is what I actually look like."
Megumi nodded. "Guess devils aren't really like the legends at all, huh"
A devil, huhWhat would she even look like?
There was a hint of anticipation in Megumi's eyes.
Lynn caught that look and said, "If you're sure, come to the Supernatural Research Club after school."
"Okay," Megumi nodded. "Got it."
Though she couldn't help but wonder
Would becoming a devil fix her "presence" problem?
Even her own family sometimes forgot about her.
That invisibility had always bothered her deeply.
That's why when Lynn noticed her, even remembered her name, he'd naturally become someone really important to her.
—
Suddenly. The classroom door swung open.
Minamiya Natsuki walked in with confident steps, and behind her came a beautiful girl with long black hair and amber eyes.
The students in Class 1-B had complicated expressions.
Who would've thought?
That petite, seemingly cute but always acting all strict Natsuki-sensei. Was actually a supernatural being too?
Shuchiin Academy really was full of hidden monsters!
Could Natsuki-sensei maybe start a Supernatural Studies class? We'd totally sign up!
With that thought in mind, everyone turned toward Minamiya Natsuki with hopeful eyes.
Even the stunning girl behind her didn't get any attention.
Natsuki raised her eyebrow. 'What's with these kids?'
She cleared her throat. "This is a new transfer student."
Then looked at the girl and said, deadpan, "Introduce yourself."
The girl stepped forward, scanning the classroom. Her gaze paused briefly on Lynn before she said simply, "Himeragi Yukina."
Lynn narrowed his eyes a bit.
Yesterday it was Kirasaka Sayaka. Now Himeragi Yukina?
No doubt about it.
That look she gave him earlier said it all.
She was here for him.
"The Lion King Organization, huh..."
Lynn smirked.
Monitor him? They really think they can pull that off?
Natsuki then frowned.
"That's it? Just your name?"
Himeragi Yukina looked confused.
Natsuki sighed. "At least share your hobbies, dreams, something. Helps the class get to know you better."
"Ooh!"
Himeragi Yukina paused, thinking hard.
Hobbies?
Hmm...does "killing monsters" count?
She glanced around at the normal students in the room. Yeah, probably not the best thing to say here.
