”Hence, the hunt was productive enough...” Nik kept gazing at the screens popping out in front of his vision before sighing and lying back on Shizuka's lap while Shigure sat beside him and stared at the screen with a contemplative gaze.

”It is astonishing... that a world even greater than ours exist...”

Shizuka muttered absentmindedly before letting her hands softly ruffle Nik's hair and massage his head making him narrow his eyes in satisfaction while a content sigh escaped his lips.

”And yes, Master told me that the Head of the corps has already changed your rank to a pillar. With this, you can finally travel to Shigure's village.”

Shigure's attention finally came to be as Shizuka's words pulled an approving nod from her before she stated softly.

”I... want to ask something...”

Nik looked towards Shigure as her voice finally entered Nik's consciousness, to which, Shizuka's consciousness was already connected.

'If we are already connected to the system with our partnership as the medium... does that mean that if I save someone... it will be counted, too?'

Nik seriously thought before shaking his head.

'It is unlikely. But there is no harm in trying it out...'

'What do you plan to do with the demon?' Shizuka suddenly uttered, shifting the topic to a stranger one as Nik thought before smiling, a wide grin touching his face.

'Although, I admit that I had some professional need for her... but the moment she licked me, it just got personal.'

'That's... such a bad lie... by now, we both know... about your Pheromone...'

Shigure whispered as she leaned a little towards Nik while sniffing as a relieved expression touched her face while Shizuka sighed in discontent.

'Geez... after you pulled the stunt of creating the fourth form... Master is not allowing me to rest, always asking me to keep an eye out for Yuriko...'

”Nik!”

A loud voice interrupted their chat, making Nik sigh as he sat up while the door to his room was unceremoniously opened up, revealing a lightly dressed Saeko walking in with a visibly relieved expression before she stopped at a barely appropriate distance.

”Master is calling for you...”

Saeko looked at Shizuka and Shigure briefly before a seductive smile touched her lips before she walked past the inappropriate distance and let her arms slither across Nik's shoulder before she adjusted her perky butt between Shigure and Nik.
