Ever since she'd inherited the Crab of Weight's power, she could tell exactly what these things were for.
"I see"
Lynn gave her a light nod. "Then I'll leave them to you."
"Yay!! Master, you're the best!!"
Luna practically jumped for joy, did a little twirl midair, then kissed Lynn on the cheek before gleefully flying toward the Memory Eggs.
And then she started suuuuuucking.
Like, hardcore inhaling them.
Eyes closed, looking like she was in pure bliss.
Lynn chuckled and let her enjoy herself while he walked around to check the rest of the cave.
But nothing else.
Seriously?
Besides the Memory Eggs, there was absolutely nothing in this entire cave.
Lynn clicked his tongue in disappointment. Welp, not much to explore here.
Once Luna finished absorbing all the eggs, Lynn teleported back to Asuna and Hitagi's side.
Poof!
The sudden reappearance startled Asuna.
But when she realized it was Lynn, she patted her chest and let out a relieved sigh.
"Let's go," Lynn said as a black magic circle appeared beneath his feet.
"Eh? That's it?" Asuna blinked. "It's over already?"
Lynn gave her a look. "If you're that curious, I don't mind leaving you behind to explore."
Asuna immediately froze and gave an awkward laugh. "Haha no thanks"
Flash!
With a burst of light, the teleportation magic kicked in.
Shuchiin Academy.
Lynn and the girls reappeared back in familiar territory.
Asuna finally relaxed, her tense nerves unwinding all at once.
That was intense.
Her heart still hadn't calmed down from the thrill.
Though if she had to go through something like that again?
She probably wouldn't survive the stress.
But if Lynn was by her sideThat'd be different.
On the other side, Hitagi clung to Lynn's arm. Tilting her head up, her blue eyes locked onto his face.
"So" she said sweetly, "isn't it about time you made me part of your harem?"
Lynn glanced down at her, a bit surprised, then chuckled.
"Can't wait, huh?"
"I was already prepared for this back when we made that deal~" she teased, winking at him.
Yeah, she'd definitely changed.
Losing the Crab of Weight's curse had clearly lightened her whole vibe.
Asuna watched her, feeling kinda glad for her but also a bit concerned.
Maybe she got too cheerful all of a sudden?
Asuna's eyebrow twitched.
On the Third floor — Girls' restroom.
The atmosphere was weird.
Ai Hayasaka stood there holding a soaking wet pair of panties with a strange look on her face.
Shinomiya Kaguya stepped out of a stall, having just finished fixing her uniformonly to see what was happening.
Her face instantly turned red.
"H-Hayasaka?! W-What are you doing?!"
Hayasaka was silent for a moment, then calmly asked, "Miss, would you like to keep these?"
Dead serious.
"In the future, these kinds of moments don't really happen outside the bedroom," she said matter-of-factly.
Keep them?!
Kaguya's eyelid twitched violently, then snatched the panties away.
No way in hell!!
This pair must be erased from existence!
Burn it!
No ashes allowed to remain!

DaddyMaximum threat
Shuchiin Academy.
Shinomiya Kaguya, still clutching her panties, finally calmed herself and returned to her usual composed self. But the moment she thought about Lynn, she couldn't help but feel conflicted inside.
Lifting her gaze to Hayasaka, Kaguya asked suspiciously, "That president of the Supernatural Research Club are you sure he's just an ordinary guy?"
Ai Hayasaka blinked, caught off guard by the sudden question. She gave Kaguya a subtle once-overparticularly that area she'd just been... handling.
So it is related to him, huh?
Though nothing showed on her face, Hayasaka's mind raced. "We didn't find anything out of the ordinary during the investigation. But" She hesitated, "I can't say for sure that he's normal."
After all, anyone capable of compelling the Shinomiya family to personally arrange contact with Kaguyaa figure of her standingcould hardly be dismissed as just 'some guy.
Kaguya's eyes flickered thoughtfully and fell silent.
Yeah. There's no doubt.
Lynn is not normal.
That speed, that look in his eyesIt was something no ordinary person could possess.
Just thinking about it made her uneasy.
After a moment of hesitation, Kaguya couldn't help but ask, "Hayasaka, do you believe in the supernatural?"
The supernatural?
Hayasaka froze for a moment, then subtly studied Kaguya's expression. Even with her usual cold demeanor, she clearly looked shaken and nervous.
The supernatural, huh?
If it were anyone but Kaguya saying this, Hayasaka would've laughed it off.
But Kaguya wouldn't make something like this up.
Come to think of it, it might actually explain why her family would push Kaguya toward someone with no real background. Yes. It all made sense now.
Everything clicked.
Hayasaka's heart began to race, though she kept her cool on the outside.
But this still needed confirmation.
Taking a deep breath, Hayasaka nodded. "I believe it."
"Eh?" Kaguya was visibly surprised. She had been wondering how she was even going to explain it to her.
Wait
"You've seen it too, Hayasaka?" she asked in disbelief.
Hayasaka hesitantly replied, "Lynn has supernatural powers?"
"I knew it," Kaguya mumbled, then narrowed her eyes. "If you already knew, why didn't you tell me?"
"Ah"
Hayasaka's expression remained flawless, but her mind raced. "I just took a wild guesshow the hell did I land on the truth?!"
"The realization only came to me just now," Hayasaka said, knowing how weak that sounded.
"Just now?"
Kaguya blinked in confusion, but let it go for now. Instead, she suddenly gripped Hayasaka's arm and quickly recounted everything that had happened today.
Hayasaka winced at the tight grip. 'Can't you use your other hand? Why does it have to be the one holding your wet' she wanted to say that.
But this was the lady of the house. She had to endure.
After listening to the full story, Hayasaka cautiously asked, "Kaguya-sama, do you think you may have pissed him off?"
Kaguya had always believed that, backed by the Shinomiya family's power, there was no one in this world she couldn't afford to offendeven if her brother had warned her to be careful.
From the moment she was born, she had lived like a proud queen, looking down on everyone equally.
But
Damn it!
No one ever told her the supernatural was real!
Hayasaka fell silent for a moment, then looked Kaguya straight in the eye. "Without a doubt yeah. You probably did."
Kaguya froze, then asked nervously, "So is something bad going to happen?"
Hayasaka shook her head. "Sorry, I don't know. This is the first time I've come across something like this too."
Still, when it came to the unknownespecially the supernaturalcaution was always the right choice.
Kaguya bit her lip, her usual ice queen persona nowhere to be found. "Is there any way to fix this?"
"Like money? Or property?"
There was hope in her eyes.
Hayasaka hesitated. "With someone like him maybe we should cater to his interests?"
"And what does he like?"
Kaguya grabbed Hayasaka's arm again, clearly desperate.
Hayasaka went quiet.
Then suddenly, she remembered the rumors surrounding the "Harem Club."
She glanced at Kaguya.
No doubt about itKaguya-sama was absolutely a top-tier beauty.
After some thought, Hayasaka carefully suggested, "Maybe you could try using your charms?"
Kaguya: "?"
She froze.
Wait a minute.
Wasn't she the one who swore she'd shut down the Harem Club?
Now she was the one planning to help expand it?
But ever since she saw Lynn's supernatural powers, the pride she once held had completely crumbled.
A beauty trap, huh
But who should they send?
Naturally, she looked past herself and turned to stare at Hayasaka. Her eyes suddenly sparkled.
She grabbed Hayasaka's shoulders and looked at her with pure emotion.
"Hayasaka, I didn't think you'd be willing to make such a huge sacrifice for me!"
Hayasaka: "?"
Meanwhile
Yuuki Asuna returned to the student council room in a bit of a daze.
"President?"
Suou Yuki, holding a teacup, gave her a puzzled look. "What's wrong?"
Asuna stood there quietly for a moment before finally saying, "I just realized maybe I need to reevaluate how I see this world."
Yuki blinked, then her eyes lit up in understanding.
Looks like she witnessed something supernatural while with Lord Lynn today, huh?
She stood up, walked behind Asuna, and gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder. In a knowing tone, she said, "You'll get used to it."
Then she gave a playful wink.
"My dear President You wouldn't mind sharing a bit of the story with your loyal subordinates, would you?"
Asuna let out a sigh, rubbed her temples, and gave in. She recounted everything that had happened that day.
When she got to the part about Lynn's fight with the crab demon, Yuki's eyes practically sparkled green with excitement.
Lord Lynn really was the one destined to restore the Suou family's glory!
Meanwhile, Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks in protest.
"President! You went through all that fun without me?!"
Asuna shot her a look. "If you're that curious, why don't you just go to the Supernatural Research Club yourself?"
Chika's eyes widened, like she just had an epiphany. "Oh! Duh!"
"You're the best, President!" she chirped before dashing out of the room in a hurry.
"Supernatural stuff, here I come!"
"..."
Asuna opened her mouth, then sighed.
Lynn's Apartment
Senjougahara Hitagi slipped off her shoes and looked curiously around the place.
"Is it just me," she asked with a strange look on her face, "or does this place have way too much girl stuff?"
"Well, I have a Harem, after all," Lynn replied casually.
Hitagi's eye twitched slightly. Then, after a moment, she nodded. "Fair point."
"So" she added, cheeks slightly flushed, "what exactly are we doing here?"
Even though she'd boldly declared she was joining the harem earlier, Hitagi hadn't expected things to progress this fast.
He brought her home already?!
Lynn didn't answer and just headed to the living room.
Hitagi hesitated for a moment, then took a few deep breaths before firmly following after him.
...
Living Room.
Ryougetsu Senhime was lounging lazily on the sofa. When she saw Lynn, her eyes lit up and her tail began to wag instinctively.
But the moment she noticed the new girl beside him, her tail drooped.
"Ugh, another annoying woman" she muttered with a pout.
Meanwhile, the catgirl Himari didn't seem to care about the new woman at all. The moment she spotted Lynn, she launched herself right at him.
Senhime: ""
Yup. Total pick-me cat.
Hitagi's eyes lit up when she saw the cat and dog. "So cute"
She instinctively reached out to pet Himari.
But Noihara Himari twisted her body to dodge her hand.
Hitagi froze.
Okay. Plan B.
She turned to Senhime.
The dog Yokai cast her a cold glance and said flatly, "Newbie, I'm not some pet you get to touch."
She was Lynn's exclusive pet!
The proud royal bloodline of Inu-Yokai would never allow anyone else to touch her!
Hitagi: "Huh?"
"Did that puppy just talk?"
She was totally thrown off.
Lynn chuckled. "Senhime and Himari are also part of my Familia. Technically, your seniors."
He gave her a quick rundown about Yokai and how his Familia worked.
Hitagi nodded slowly in realization.
So that means
These twocat and dogare both female, huh?
Her expression twisted with mixed emotions.
Her understanding of the Harem Club just got a whole lot clearer.
—
A while later, Lynn sat on the couch, looking at Hitagi.
"Take it off."
Hitagi blinked. "Huh?"
"Here?"
Her cheeks flushed. Her eyelashes trembled. She quickly glanced over at Senhime and Himari.
Wait a second
Does Lynn have a fetish for being watched?!
Lynn's next words snapped her out of it.
"You just need to show your back."
Hitagi: "Huh?"
She looked even more confused now.
After Lynn explained the situationabout the devil reincarnation ritual and the blessing sealHitagi finally understood.
"Ohhh I get it now"
She pouted a little and muttered, "I thought"
"Thought what?" Lynn smirked, eyes playful.
Hitagi looked away. "Well, it's your fault for saying things in such a suggestive way, Daddy."
Lynn: ""
That "Daddy" caught him completely off guard.
Senhime and Himari both froze.
Daddy?!?!
What kind of game is this?!
She's a threat!
In that moment, Senhime and Himari silently upgraded Senjougahara Hitagi to Top Alert Level.
Maximum threat ~ ~ Major rival detected.

Gravity Devil
Lynn's Apartment, Living Room.
Senjougahara Hitagi calmly took off her top, then reached behind her back.
Click.
Her smooth back was now completely exposed in front of Lynn.
"Go ahead," she muttered.
Seeing that, Lynn summoned a Devil piece in his hand.
"Nnngh"
