With precise and fluid movements, she cut down a zombie, showing no signs of her previous exhaustion.
"Well?" she asked smugly. "Magic replenishment, pretty useful, right?"
Saeko suddenly understood. "So that's what replenishing magic is?"
She recalled last nightdespite being utterly exhausted, with just one "injection" from her master, she found herself engaging in another round of intense combat.
No wonder they did it all night.
Saeko nodded in agreement. "Yes, replenishing magic is indeed useful....and also for stamina!"
Utaha: "???"
Damn it!
She suddenly rememberedthis woman had crawled into Lynn's bed last night!
Just replenishing magic?
She and Lynn had done this and that...all night without getting a rest.
This woman!
Utaha gritted her teeth.
"Utaha."
Saeko suddenly spoke. "I've sensed it from earlier."
That inexplicable hostility. It wasn't the kind that enemies had for each other.
It was more like... romantic rivalry?
"You like Master, don't you?"
Saeko smiled warmly.
Utaha was stunned for a moment, then admitted frankly, "Yeah, I do!"
"Then you have nothing to worry about."
Utaha: "?"
'This sneaky cat... What does she mean by that?'
Saeko smiled. "I'm here to join you all, not to break you apart."
Utaha froze.
'Ahhhhh! This sneaky cat is exactly the type all men love!'
'She can even say something like this so openly...'
But there was one thing Saeko had misunderstood.
Utaha pouted. "You've got it wrong. Right now, I'm the one joining you guys."
"?"
Now it was Saeko's turn to be confused. "You and Master..."
"That's right, you're ahead of me."
"So... I was the first?" Saeko's face instinctively lit up with joy.
"Tch!"
Utaha clicked her tongue in annoyance.
She knew this woman would react this way after learning the truth.
Even though they all knew that, eventually, they'd all be completely claimed by Lynn.
No one could have him exclusively. But the order still mattered!
And she had completely lost the initiative.
Not that she could blame anyoneshe had let the opportunity slip away herself.
After clearing the air, the two became much closer.
And then Utaha learned some devastating news.
"WHAT?!"
"The second spot was taken too?!"
Thud!
Utaha fell to her knees, utterly defeated.
Miko Yotsuya, who had been watching everything, made her judgment:
"Saeko Busujimathe dignity of the first wife!"
"Utaha Kasumigaokathe tragic loser."
Late at Night.
The girls were all panting heavily from exhaustion.
Tonight had been an exhilarating grind for experience points!
Utaha and Miko had experienced the true wonders of this world.
"Was that milk some kind of recovery item?"
Miko seemed nostalgic.
She had been on the verge of collapse, but after downing a can of milk, she was instantly rejuvenated.
It had fully restored her endurance.
"Uh..."
Hearing Miko's question, Shizuka blushed and instinctively hugged her big and soft twins protectively.
Saeko's expression also became slightly strange.
"Hm?" Miko looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing," Saeko shook her head. "It is a type of recovery item."
As for how it was made... well, she could discover that for herself later.

Lynn's Bedroom.
This was the room Saeko had specifically set aside for Lynn.
It was the largest room in the house.
Not only was it spacious, but the bed was also hugeperfect for multiple people to...
Ahem, perfect for everyone to update their Blessings (Falna) together.
"Heave-ho!"
Shizuka Marikawa was the first to strip completelyleaving only a pair of pink panties.
Then, with a dramatic leap, she landed on the bed, her soft curves jiggling.
Burying her face into the plush mattress, she took a deep breath before rolling onto her back, waiting for Lynn to update her Blessing.
Saeko didn't hesitate either, leaving only a pair of purple panties.
The two of them had already done everything with Lynn, so there was no need for modesty.
They displayed themselves openly before him.
Of course, noticing Utaha and Miko's dumbfounded expressions, Saeko felt the need to explain.
"Our clothes got dirty while fighting zombies. If we don't take them off, we might dirty Master's bed."
'Dirty?'
Utaha and Miko glanced at the barely stained clothes.
'Yeah, right...'
Utaha's gaze flickered. "Y-Yeah, that's true. My clothes... do seem a little dirty."
Her voice trembled slightly, but her hands did not hesitate.
She pulled off her top.
Her fingers trembled as they reached the clasp of her bra.
But after glancing at the fully stripped Saeko and Shizuka...
She clenched her teeth, stomped her foot, and took it off!
The black lingerie slipped down.
Utaha felt her face burning up.
Of course, she wasn't as bold as Saeko or Shizukashe still covered her chest with her arms while sliding off her skirt.
But she kept her black stockings.
Saeko and Shizuka had bare legs.
That was her advantage!
"Utaha-senpai, you..."
Miko's voice was complicated.
'Weren't they in this together? How could she betray her like this?!'
'What was she supposed to do now?'
Staring at the three on the bed, Miko felt completely out of place.
Weren't they just here to update their Blessings?
Why did it turn into this? And...Aren't Blessings on the back?
Suppressing the urge to complain, Miko sighed and removed only her top, lying on her stomach and unhooking her bra.
Lynn, seeing they were all ready, began updating their Blessings one by one.
Then he reached Utaha.
She was lying face-down like an ostrich.
Lynn sighed. "Did she forget where her Falna was?"
Lifting his hand, he gave a firm smack on her soft backside.
"Utaha, turn over."

"Ahhh..."
A crisp sound echoed from the bedroom.
Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a burning sensation on her backside and couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Only then did she remember that her "blessing" had been inscribed on the front of her body.
Awkwardly, she turned over.
On the way, her eyes met Yotsuya Miko's doubtful gaze. Utaha's own eyes darted away in embarrassment.
'So humiliating!'
Miko couldn't believe it. The same senior who had once advised her to have the blessing inscribed on her back had chosen to have hers placed on the front!
"Utaha-senpai..." Miko's expression turned complicated.
"Your hands are in the way."
Lynn reminded her again.
"Ugh..."
Utaha trembled once more, then turned her head aside, closed her eyes, and, with fluttering eyelashes, slowly lowered her hands.
Freed from its constraints, her soft boobs naturally shifted slightly.
As he updated her blessing, Lynn inevitably got to appreciate a unique and captivating sight.
He had already seen both Saeko and Shizuka's, but Utaha's had its own distinct charm.
Each had their own appeal.

After recording all their updated stats, Lynn said, "All done."
Hearing this, Miko and Utaha hurriedly put their clothes back on.
Meanwhile, Saeko and Shizuka remained unfazed in their relaxed states, but Utaha and Miko had no time to worry about them.
The four girls took the blessing data from Lynn and began reviewing it.
Lynn, in turn, analyzed their progress.
Shizuka didn't need much explanation. She was a support-type devil, so her stats naturally wouldn't grow as quickly.
Still, for her first day, the progress was decent.
As a devil, she did have combat potential, just not as prominently as Saeko, who was a natural-born killer.
Saeko, of course, required no further discussion. Her [Bloodlust] skill gave her an inherent advantage over most others in raw stat growth.
Utaha had taken down a decent number of zombies that night as well.
Compared to before, her stat growth was actually quite solid.
That said, as one of Lynn's servants, she had already been completely overtaken by Saeko in just a single day, which was a little sad.
As for Miko, her stats had also improved reasonably well, but her [Spirit Devil] ability hadn't played much of a role in this world.
Realistically speaking, she would be far more suited to a world where spiritual entities were prevalent.
For now, her leveling efficiency was lower. It would be best to build up her foundations here first.
After reviewing their stats, the girls all seemed fairly satisfied.
Their hard work that night hadn't been in vain.
However, when Utaha, with Saeko's permission, took a look at her blessing data, she immediately fell into a deep existential crisis.
"Wait... You're telling me you only became Lynn's servant yesterday?!"
Saeko smiled and nodded.
Utaha: "..."
"Ah!" Miko suddenly exclaimed, "Utaha-senpai looks like she's lost all hope again!"
Utaha let out a sorrowful cry. "[Bloodlust]?! Why does such an overpowered ability even exist?!"
She was doomed!
Completely and utterly outclassed in every possible way!
The Next Morning.
Yawning, Utaha stepped out of her room.
She had been so naive.
She had thought staying in this world would give her more time to be close to Lynn.
She hadn't expected last night to turn out like that!
Utaha felt like the entire house had been filled with the noises of Saeko and Shizuka acting like ravenous beasts!
She had nearly ground her teeth to dust in frustration.
Even worse... she had ended up listening to those sounds while imagining Lynn...
Aaaaaaagh!
Utaha shook her head furiously, trying to erase the filthy images from her mind.
It was all Saeko's fault for saying, "Utaha, do you want to join us?"
Who the hell would join you?!
Although... she had been slightly tempted for a moment.
But her dignity as a woman had brought her back to her senses.
At the very least...Her first time should be something special between just her and Lynn, right?
Utaha thought about the bunny girl outfit she had ordered online earlier.
She wondered when it would arrive.
Creak
Miko pushed open her door, revealing deep, dark circles under her eyes.
Utaha and Miko exchanged glances, both letting out an awkward chuckle.
Miko sighed.
The whole blessing update process had already been shocking enough for her.
But the real shock had come afterward.
"This house... Isn't it a bit too much? Like one of those videos where people just never stop..."
The fact that she was now part of this same group made Miko sigh even deeper.
"Mom, I can't guarantee what kind of person your daughter is going to become..."

The Luxury Apartment
For the next period, Lynn's followers settled into a routine of three simple activities:
Eating, sleeping (sort of), and beating up the Zombies.
It's worth noting that Miko initially stayed in the Apocalypse world for a few days but ultimately decided to return home before evening.
After all, she still had a mother at home.
If she spent too many nights away, her mom would start worrying. Especially since she had once seen Lynn walking Miko home, she had somehow gotten the impression that Miko was living with her boyfriend.
If Miko stayed out too much longer, her mom might start preparing to be a grandmother!
Supernatural Investigation Club
As usual, Utaha and Miko were preparing to head into the Apocalypse world.
Since both of them had become quite familiar with it by now, Lynn decided not to accompany them this time.
His exact words to them were: "As mature followers, you should learn to grind for experience on your own."
As their leader, he couldn't always babysit them through battles.
He had his own things to take care of.
Very important things....
Lynn's Home.
In the living room, Koneko Tojo was curled up against Lynn, watching the 'Defeat' screen on the TV with a slightly disappointed expression.
No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't surpass her senior Lynn.
Lynn patted her head in reassurance. "Don't worry, you were really close this time. Just a little more and you would've beaten me."
Koneko leaned back, gazing at his chin before murmuring, "You've said that so many times before, Senpai."
"Ha, have I?"
Seeing that Lynn honestly couldn't remember, Koneko sighed.
"Oh well. Just being able to play games with you makes me happy."
She stood up and prepared to teleport back home using a magic circle.
But just before leaving, she suddenly paused as if remembering something.
"Oh, right."
She reached into her pocket and pulled out two objects. "Rais-buchou asked me to give these to you when she heard I was coming over."
"They're from Sona Sitri?"
After Koneko left, Lynn inspected the items.
A key and a water magic scroll.
He raised an eyebrow, not sure what Sona was up to.
To be honest, their first meeting hadn't been all that pleasant.
And after that day, they hadn't really interacted much.
Sona had never brought up the idea of participating in a Rating Game again either.
Lynn had assumed that was the end of it.
But now she'd sent something through Rias, using Koneko as the messenger.
"Hmm"
"Oh well. Might as well accept it. No point wasting a free gift."
"The water magic scroll can be copied into the Devil's Grimoire for Utaha."
"As for the other item"
He picked up the key, noticing an address attached to it.
He glanced out the window.
The sky was getting gloomy, with rain likely on the way.
With nothing better to do, he decided to check it out.
On the way, a light rain had started to fall. But for a Devil like Lynn, it was easy enough to coat himself in magic so that the raindrops never even touched him.
...
"This should be the place, right?"
He wasn't entirely sure.
