Later that night, Seiji contacted Hana and asked her about the Bloodwine Ritual tournament .

"Don't die . "

The cat-eared hat girl fell silent for a while, saying nothing else apart from that .

She also directly agreed to help him gather information about the other tournament partic.i.p.ants .

Seiji didn't mention anything about the harem, because he could already imagine Hana's likely reaction… he decided to conceal the harem from her for the time being .

The next morning .

He received a call from Mika . Apparently, she had finally returned to her normal state .

Seiji immediately headed next door to check her situation . She had indeed returned to her normal self, and Mas.h.i.+ro also now possessed a complete human form!

That Spiritual Creature's former egg shape had now become a little girl . She was wearing a dark-red dress and was much larger than before . She now seemed like a very beautiful little angel .

*Chirp!*

Mas.h.i.+ro still chirped cutely and smiled as she jumped towards Seiji .

Seiji reflexively hugged her and felt her body's warmth and softness . There was no difference from a human's .

*Chirp~*

Mas.h.i.+ro rubbed her face against his chest and had a joyous expression .

Seiji smiled to see how intimate she was acting with him . He reached out and gently patted her on the head .

The silver-winged loli was evidently delighted with this as the wings on her back started fluttering slightly .

Mika also smiled upon seeing this scene .

"Do you feel that anything about your body is uncomfortable?" Seiji asked Mika .

"Not at all . " Mika shook her head .

"That's good, then . "

Seiji then looked towards Mas.h.i.+ro .

"Mas.h.i.+ro-chan, you protected Mika . Wonderful job . "

*Chirp~*

The silver-winged loli was incredibly delighted to be praised . She revealed a brilliant smile .

Seiji returned home after confirming that Mika and Mas.h.i.+ro were both alright .

After that was going to school just as normal .

Kaede felt like something was wrong .

The atmosphere between Seiji, Mika, and Chiaki had subtly changed .

Everything appeared the same as usual . However, Kaede perceived that something had already changed .

This made her feel quite anxious . She really wanted to know what was going on .

During cla.s.s in the morning, Kaede sent a text message to the person who she felt was most likely would tell her what was going on .

After cla.s.s, that person arrived in the infirmary .

"As expected, Juumonji-sensei saw through us . " Chiaki smiled . "I knew that we wouldn't be able to fool you . "

"I can't say that I saw through anything, I could only feel it . " Kaede looked at Chiaki . "What exactly happened? Could you tell me, Wakabsan?"

"If I couldn't tell you, I wouldn't have come here . " Chiaki shrugged . "Even if I don't say anything, Sensei would have noticed sooner or later… as for why we're hiding things now, that's because we don't want to give Seiji too much pressure . "

"Pressure?"

"Pressure?"

"That's right . Sensei will understand immediately once I tell you . "

"…You don't need to tell me if it will give Seiji more pressure . "

"It's not that he'll be pressured if Sensei knows what happened . Instead, it's that the actions you're likely to take may give him pressure if you knew what happened . " Chiaki grinned . "Sensei, if you choose to leave Seiji after learning what happened, nothing will come of it, and it's your freedom to choose . But, Sensei, if you learn what happened, and want to take action instead of leaving him, that will give him more pressure . That's why I hope that Sensei will first promise me that you can keep this matter a secret and not take action for the time being if you choose to stay by Seiji's side . "

Something flashed in Kaede's eyes . A few seconds later, she nodded .

"I promise . "

After receiving this verbal guarantee, the tomboy nudged over and whispered something into the blonde nurse's ear .

Kaede instantly widened her eyes .

After Chiaki finished her explanation, she smiled once more at Kaede before turning around to leave .

'A harem… I see . '

Kaede's expression returned to normal after she finally digested what she just heard .

She quickly understood what Chiaki meant by saying that Seiji would be "pressured . "

Seiji felt guilty about having started a harem . Although he had resolved himself, he would still feel mentally pressured .

This pressure would need time to help him ease his mentality . Keeping this a secret and not taking action for the time being… Chiaki's request was to give him some time .

As for leaving Seiji's side… Kaede didn't even consider it .

She had already resolved herself long ago to be a mistress if necessary . Seiji starting a harem was actually a good thing for her .

'Once he feels less pressured, it'll be my turn . ' The blonde teacher's mouth arced upwards slightly as she looked outside a window .

Lunch break .

Seiji ate lunch together with Mika and Chiaki, just like usual .

"Seiji, we've already confirmed our relations.h.i.+p . Shouldn't we do something intimate?" Chiaki spoke up .

"Seiji, we've already confirmed our relations.h.i.+p . Shouldn't we do something intimate?" Chiaki spoke up .

"What do you want to do?"

"I want you to feed me with your mouth~"

"Denied . " Seiji instantly rejected this .

Feeding someone else with his mouth in public at high school? That seemed far too much like high-level idiocy!

Still, normal feeding was okay .

He picked up some barbequed meat with his chopsticks and brought it to Chiaki's mouth . "I can feed you like this . "

"Tsk, such a conservative man . "

"You're the one who's too free-spirited… do you want it or not?"

Chiaki glanced at him rather seductively and opened her mouth, making "Ahn~" sounds as she swallowed the meat . After swallowing the meat, she then licked her lips with her tongue .

"This is such a thick taste~"

"Stop intentionally making this seem like an R-18 scene!"

Seiji recalled what it felt like to kiss her as he witnessed her actions . He was slightly shaken inside .

"Seiji… I want the same as well," Mika said softly .

Seiji picked up another piece of barbequed meat with his chopsticks and raised it over to Mika's lips .

Mika's face reddened slightly as she opened her mouth and ate the meat . She revealed a satisfied expression .

'So cute!' Seiji thought to himself .

He then saw Mika handing him a piece of fried egg as her face reddened .

Seiji opened his mouth and ate it as he smiled .

"So sweet~ This would be even better with a kiss~" Chiaki added some narration .

"I didn't think that at all . "

"So sweet~ This would be even better with a kiss~" Chiaki added some narration .

"I didn't think that at all . "

"Tsk, such a boring man . "

"You're the one who's too exciting . " Seiji gave her another piece of meat .

Chiaki happily accepted the feeding .

The three of them kept feeding each other as they ate lunch and enjoyed themselves .

The other students seeing this scene felt that they were quite intimate with each other . Still, none of them even thought that this was actually a harem .

Or, perhaps it should be said that the three of them eating together was long since treated as a harem by the other students, so they wouldn't think too much into things now .

However, a certain person also noticed this scene and remembered it in her mind .

After school .

Mika returned to the Uehara apartments, Chiaki was busy with her drama club activities, and Seiji went to the student council president's residence to practice cultivation .

He was greeted by a smiling Mai .

"Junior, I want to talk to you about something . " While the maid's face was smiling, her eyes were icy cold .

"What is it about?" Seiji had an ominous premonition .

"Ever since yesterday, something's been wrong with Milady . And today at lunch, I saw you, Ueharsan, and Wakabsan eating lunch together in quite the intimate fas.h.i.+on…" A sharp glint flashed in Mai's eyes . "Please, could you explain what all this is about?"

Seiji felt as if he could envision a black aura emanating from her right now!

"This… it's a long story…"

"I've already prepared tea to serve you with . Please enjoy it slowly so that you can tell your story properly . " Mai smiled quite gently .

'If you don't explain yourself, die . '

Seiji could clearly hear this sentence underneath .

The killer maid who stated before that she would remove any pests that got in her master's way was being quite serious .
