Mahiru remained calm and indifferent. "Ms. Sayo, if you have nothing important to say, please leave."
"...?!"
Sayo couldn't process what was happening.
Since when did Mahiru become like this?
Had the world turned upside down?
Where had that obedient, well-mannered Mahiru gone?!
Enraged, Sayo snapped, "Who corrupted you?! Was it the guy next door?!"
Her gaze darted toward Lynn's apartment.
Mahiru frowned. "Are you done talking?"
She never realized how annoying this woman could be.
And right now, Mashiro was still alone with Lynnan unpredictable variable!
"Hmph!"
Sayo scoffed and strode toward Lynn's door. "I want to see for myself who turned you into this!"
Smack!
A sharp sound echoed through the hall.
Sayo froze, clutching her cheek in shock.
But more than the pain, what truly horrified her was Mahiru's speedshe had appeared in front of her in an instant!
Mahiru's eyes were cold as ice.
"You can do whatever you want, but don't touch Lynn," she warned. "As for Mashiro, I'll take care of her. Now leave."
Sayo bit her lip, deeply shaken that her own daughter had just slapped her.
But...
Looking into Mahiru's icy gaze, an unsettling fear crept up her spine.
Mahiru wasn't the good girl anymore.
Defeated, Sayo left in humiliation.
Mahiru, on the other hand, felt incredibly satisfied, a smile playing on her lips.
She was now a bad girl! Hehe~!
But... it still wasn't enough.
Mahiru's breathing quickened as she turned back to Lynn's door and walked inside.
Lynn looked up at her with amusement in his eyes. "All done?"
The moment she stepped into the living room and saw Lynn sitting there, Mahiru felt a faint heat on her back.
The mark of Obsession was active.
-Obsession Anchor: Lynn-
Her eyes lit up.
She had found a reason!
Pressing her lips together, she quickly walked up to Lynn.
Lynn had already heard everything through the door.
Mahiru hesitated for a second before nodding firmly. "Mhm."
He had been paying attention to her all along.
Realizing this, she bit her lip, her caramel-colored eyes flickering with hesitation.
"Lynn..."
"Mahiru needs... a reward..."

Apartment — Living Room.
Shiina Mahiru sat on Lynn's lap, her gaze hazy, lips glistening slightly as Lynn was gently patting her head.
Shiina Mashiro, watching the two, suddenly remarked, "Romance anime."
Hearing Mashiro's voice, Mahiru snapped out of her daze. She bit her lip, her breathing quick and uneven.
Burying her face in Lynn's shoulder, she murmured softly, "Not that..."
Her voice was almost inaudible, but Lynn caught it.
"I... I want the real thing..."
Lynn's eyes darkened slightly. "Have you made up your mind?"
"...Umm!"
Receiving her answer, Lynn didn't hesitatehe scooped her up and carried her straight to the bedroom.
"???"
Mashiro watched them leave, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Bedroom.
Mahiru lay on Lynn's bed, her long golden hair spread out around her.
Her face was burning.
Flushed and breathing heavily, she instinctively wanted to turn her head away.
ButShe steadied herself, meeting Lynn's gaze head-on.
"Lynn-san..."
"...Please look at me properly. And... and don't look anywhere else."
The moment she finished speaking, Lynn took that as a signal as he removed all her clothes.
Lynn was determined to make this angel fall completely!
"Mmm..."
Mahiru felt the engraved mark on her backObsession Corridorburning hotter and hotter.
As if a volcano was erupting!
Lynn noticed and updated her blessing.

Seeing Mahiru's Obsession Corridor, Lynn's eyes narrowed.
He lifted Mahiru's legs and was about to take real action when
Creak
The bedroom door let out a tiny sound.
Mahiru lifted her head and locked eyes with a pair of deep blood-orange pupils.
"Mashiro?"
Mahiru blurted out in shock before hurriedly shouting, "W-What are you doing?!"
Mashiro peered inside through the gap, speaking in a calm tone. "Collecting material for my manga."
"Manga?! Wh Ahhhhhh~!!!"
Mahiru was about to say more, but the devil, Lynn, felt it was time and launched his attack in front of Mashiro!
"M-Mashiro..."
"D-Don't look..."
"Nghhhh..."
Mahiru's Obsession Corridor burned intensely.
Her base stats suddenly shifted with every thrust!

Lynn's gaze sharpened slightly at the sight.
"Mahiru, this is just training that we will have to do a lot in the future."
"So scream as much as you want!"
Mahiru's fallen angel wings spread wide, intensifying Lynn's feelings.
Fall, dear angel!!
The Next Morning.
Sunlight streamed through the window into the bedroom.
Mahiru's golden hair shimmered brilliantly under its glow.
Lynn patted her. "Mahiru, retract your wings."
"Mmm..."
She buried her face deeper, avoiding his gaze. The fallen angel's wings hurriedly withdrew into her body.
Lynn brushed aside her hair, checking the blessing details on her back. His expression turned complicated.
"She gained over 600 points in her stats?"
Was last night that good?
And this skill of hers might be way too overpowered. It was just one night?
Lynn's expression changed slightly. "Mahiru, if you keep this up, you might surpass Saeko soon."
"You can live here from now on."
Mahiru bit her lip, her face flushed crimson, caramel-colored eyes misted over.
But...She didn't refuse.
After lingering in bed for a while longer, Lynn finally got up and opened the bedroom door.
And there, leaning against the hallway wall, dressed only in an oversized white shirt, was Shiina Mashirofast asleep.
Her clothes? Who knew where they went.
Lynn clicked his tongue and shook his head, then pinched her nose.
"Mmm..."
Mashiro wrinkled her nose, her hands instinctively reaching upward like a drowning person grasping for air.
Soon, she gasped awake, her eyes reflecting Lynn's face.
Dazed, Mashiro grabbed Lynn's sleeve and pulled herself up.
She pointed to the spot where she had been sitting and blinked at him. "Yesterday. Good material..."
Lynn's eyelid twitched, his gaze shifting downward.
After seeing the state of the wet wooden floor, his expression turned even more complicated.
"After you left the room, did you... listen the whole night?"
Lynn had to admither dedication was impressive.
"Material!" Mashiro emphasized, reaffirming her relentless professional spirit.
"Fine, fine. Material."
Lynn ruffled her golden hair in exasperation before heading to the living room.
He grabbed a cola from the fridge.
Pop!
Gulp, gulp.
"Ahhh, refreshing!"
"Well, Mashiro, get ready to hear more material," Lynn said as he returned to his room, intending to increase Mahiru's stats.

Painting Devil
A Few Days Later.
At Lynn's apartment, after updating his Familia members' blessings
Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned as she checked her stats, then glanced at Mahiru's.
Something felt very, very off.
Extremely off.
"Mahiru."
Utaha's tone was deep. "Your recent stat growth is a little..."
"Ridiculous!"
She grabbed Busujima Saeko's blessing details and compared them side by side with Mahiru's. "You're almost catching up to this crazy woman?!"
"And also..."
Utaha looked at Mahiru's Obsession Corridor ability, her expression conflicted.
"What exactly is 'Lynn-san, more, more, I need more!!' supposed to mean?!"
Mahiru hurriedly covered her face, her voice barely a whisper. "U-Utaha..."
"P-Please don't say it anymore..."
She tried to run but then walked slowly again. After all, the angel's body... was already overflowing!
"Hmm..."
"Kikyo, how's the progress in the Demon Slayer world?"
After updating her Blessing, Lynn casually asked about the situation in the Demon Slayer World.
"Everything is going smoothly, Lynn-sama."
Kikyo's usually cold eyes softened as she looked at Lynn and spoke gently, "We have completely replaced the belief in gods of that era."
"As for the remaining demons, they're insignificant."
"However"
A glint flashed in Kikyo's dark eyes. "I plan to publicly judge Muzan Kibutsuji in front of the Devil Cult's main temple!"
"With this, our Familia's influence in that world will reach its peak!"
"Sounds good. Do as you see fit."
Lynn approved her plan, then asked, "Have you figured out how to deal with Muzan?"
Kikyo pursed her lips and sighed. "His strength isn't really a problem, and his regeneration isn't a concern either."
Both her purification abilities were perfect counters.
"However"
"He's just way too good at hiding!"
"Finding someone like him isn't difficult for a shrine maiden."
"The problem is where he's hiding. That's a bit tricky."
Kikyo looked slightly troubled.
Lynn immediately understood. "The Infinity Castle, huh"
Yeah, that makes sense.
Right now, no one in the Familia has spatial abilities.
Only Higurashi Kagome could probably force open an entry point.
ButGiven how paranoid Muzan is, there's no way he'd let an unfamiliar face into the Infinity Castle.
Lynn smirked and pulled out a Devil's Contract flier.
"Let's see if our dear Demon King wants some help from a Devil."
Kikyo's eyes lit up at the sight of it.
If they could get the contract into the Infinity Castle, wouldn't that mean they could freely enter?
And knowing Muzan, he might not let people in easily, but would he be able to resist his curiosity about something mysterious?
"I understand, Lynn!"
Taking the Devil's Contract, Kikyo felt that the day they conquered the Demon Slayer world wasn't far off.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Lord Lynn, the Devil Cult in that world has also gathered some potential Familia members."
"When do you plan to visit? I'm also free most of the time now."
Her cheeks flushed slightly as she asked.
Ever since the Cult was established, as a shrine maiden, she hadn't properly served Lynn yet.
She felt terribly irresponsible!
Lynn thought for a moment before replying, "No rush, I'll come after you guys clear that world."
"Understood!"
Rather than being disappointed, Kikyo seemed even more motivated!
After updating the Blessings, the Familia members stuck around instead of leaving.
They had been grinding experience points non-stopsurely, they deserved some time to relax.
Kasumigaoka Utaha spotted Shiina Mashiro and teased, "Is this a new member of the Familia?"
Mashiro's expression didn't change. She responded in her usual monotone, "No."
Utaha blinked in confusion. "Huh?"
"Oh my, looks like you haven't been feeding her well," Utaha smirked at Lynn.
"Utaha, don't bully the newbie," Kanoe Yuuko giggled as she floated behind Lynn and hugged his head against her chest.
"Master~ I wore my bra today, just as you wanted."
Ever since they left the old school building, Lynn had insisted she wear one.
Even though Yuuko found it uncomfortable, she still listened to him.
Lynn enjoyed the head massage she was giving him and stroked his chin. "Technically speaking, Mashiro isn't really a Familia member yet."
"What?!"
The entire apartment fell silent in shock.
Even Yuuko momentarily stopped nuzzling him in surprise.
Utaha's eyes widened in disbelief. "Master, you mean you still haven't added her to your harem?"
Has he changed?!
No way!
Absolutely not!
Mashiro tilted her head in confusion, then glanced around at all the other women in the room before nodding as if she understood. "Harem! Manga!"
Lynn shot Utaha a knowing look. "Thanks for the reminder."
Then, he turned to Mashiro and extended his hand. "Mashiro, would you like to join my harem?"
Mashiro was silent for a moment before she spoke three words.
"Harem King Lynn."
She placed her hand in Lynn's.
But then she shook her head.
Her action left Lynn and the others confused.
Mashiro's eyes were serious. "Lynn is my master."
Understanding dawned on them all at once.
"So..."
"She doesn't want to be in the harem she wants to be a pet?!"
"Another weird girl."
Lynn chuckled. "Then strip."
"Strip?"
Mashiro tilted her head again, looked at the other girls, and nodded as if realizing something.
Taking off clothes? That's nothing new to her!
Not knowing what Lynn wanted, but trusting him anyway
In a few swift movements, she was completely undressed.
"You didn't have to strip that much," Utaha muttered, her expression complicated.
This airheaded girl sure had a natural talent for charming men.
Lynn, seeing that she was ready, pressed the Devil's Piece onto her.
A soft glow enveloped Mashiro.
Her eyes widened slightly as she felt power flow into her body.
