Maid Cafe in Lot City…

Somehow, Clyde ended up buying food for the hungry genie . He made her magically change her attire first . She ended choosing a pink s.h.i.+rt and skirt combo with matching sandals . The girl seemed ravenous, devouring two plates in a row like a bottomless glutton . Some people stared at her with open astonishment . A beautiful woman eating like Goku? Why not? He couldn't blame them for gaping .

"If I weren't mistaking, it looks as if you hadn't eaten for days," Clyde said, offhandedly .

"I had two more days until payday," the genie said between mouthfuls .

"Then what did you have in the oven?" Clyde said .

"Something I tried to make with leftovers," the genie said . "It may or may not hold for two days . Trust me, you don't want to know . "

Clyde stared at her blankly . Seeing her fall over from weakness, he couldn't bring himself just to leave the girl in the middle of the street . How could one possibly overestimate a genie's power and capabilities? Somehow, he believed himself to be the first man ever to do so . Well, at least she was cute . Natural anime girl beauty .

"Listen," he said to her then folded his arms . "I'm going to help you get back your powers . In return, you must cure Natalia of her curse . I suppose it's probably best to ask her first . " He tilted his head . "Not sure why she'd want to stay in her state—but consent is consent . "

"You really mean it, Master?" Kanako said . "You won't abandon me?"

"Well when you put it that way…" Clyde held out a hand . "Deal?"

Kanako dashed around the table and hugged him, gaining more stares, confused looks, and uneasy maid waitresses .

"Thank you! Now I won't be laughed at anymore," she said .

[Congratulations! You have established a relations.h.i.+p link with Kanako . A positive relations.h.i.+p with a genie wields unknown benefits . ]

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Kanako has increased to Hopeful, friend level two . ]

[Your BCFUS has increased to level 5 . Achievement: BCFUS Rank 2 . ]

[BCFUS lv . 5 . Rank 2: You can only present a temporary speed and jump boost . You may make only some changes to their appearances, heal moderate injuries, and sense their whereabouts at a better range, all using Free points (also known as Soul Points) . You can now present temporary attack and defense increases . All women married to you will now have the deity and divine element attributes embedded into some of their attack skills . Chances of inflicting status alignments and heavy or more damage increases .

PENDING: You need the correct friends.h.i.+p level to rank up your prophet . ]

[Warning: you must use the system for it to gain any further ranks . The higher the rank, the more features it unlocks . ]

"I'm seriously questioning these 'friends' of yours," Clyde said, looking at the awe-eyed genie girl . "Anyway, finished eating or they'll never stop watching . Many know us . "

Kanako nodded, cheerful . Her att.i.tude rubbed onto the young man . He'd be positive about having a genie…familiar? Nah, that word didn't feel right for this . Just friend would do .

The update BCFUS was awesome . An attack and defense increase, finally! He needed to actually spend his free points, as well as throw some into his other systems . Cooking points, Power core, barrier . A lot to work with . The reason why he'd even bother with them is so that he'd always be able to do things on his own . Not rely on the women which would turn him into one of those wimpy harem main characters that lived the life of the damsel in distress .

Hades' Estates…

Hades' Head Office…

Alice sighed, stuck behind a desk, glaring down at seemingly endless paperwork .

"Why do I have to do this again?"

At a nearby table, Tear sat, sipping tea . A lesser succubus servant bowed then served her a slice of Velvet cake . The half-demoness stared at it, mouth watering .

"You can't just abandon your family and servants, cousin," Tear said . "Unless you want to give up the Hade's throne to someone else . Your family living in the Demon realm were okay with you taking over, since your succession was already approaching . They were even fine with you becoming a house head rather than a demon lord—strings were pulled to keep the power and lands in the Demon realm . Noona's thankful you know . Thanks to you, she kept her family's lands too . "

"I'd still rather…" Alice's voice trailed off .

"You're running things now," Tear said . "In addition to managing the family's finances, you've got to meet with the human CEO's at least once a year for reports . Unless you forgot that your father owns about eight businesses worldwide and the other thirty in the Demon realm . "

Alice slumped .

"How do I pa.s.s on this burden?"

Tear laughed .

"You know you can't . And your pride refuses to allow you to mooch off Clyde . "

"You do know I make tons of money from our adventures," Alice said .

"Ah . That's true, but I'm mostly directing things from my quarters, so I don't know all the details of how the adventurer thing works," Tear said .

"What's taking Melody and Nat—"

Approaching voices from outside the closed door cut her off .

"And I said Platia's broken, you shrimp!"

"You're just a scrub . Scrubby monster, scrubby monster!"

"Why you little—"

"Let them in," Tear told the servant . "Also, take the rest of the day off . Bring in Saki to take your place . "

"Yes, High lady," the servant said, excited, bowed, and took off . Alice heard her say to Melody and Natalia, "the high ladies await . "

"She's too good for us," Alice said .

"True, but she's still a lesser succubus," Tear said . "Left to their own devices, they may never think of other things outside of eating, sleeping, and intense s.e.x . And speaking of s.e.x, I saw in your dream the first time you've done it with Clyde . "

"Why you—"

Tear interrupted the blus.h.i.+ng girl .

"Why didn't you just admit to being a virgin? Pretending that you haven't had any in years . " Tear laughed . "Your face was adorable . If only my Clyde knew that you had no idea what you were doing . "

"I did too!" Alice said . "You showed me the…" she placed her head down on the table . "Don't tell him . "

"Too late!" Natalia said as she dove into Alice's embrace . "Hmm, you smell nice, Highness . You really did go with the perfume that prophet girl suggested . Just because Clyde would love it . " Natalia inhaled again . "You may attract women with this . "

Alice shot her a blank glare .

"Alright enough of that, go take your seat . " She squeezed her friend's loving embrace then urged her into a nearby chair . "You guys have something to reveal to me, right?"

Yuki walked in .

"To think you'd abandon my cooking lesson," she said to Melody . "Did you not want to learn how to be a bride?" She pinched the redhead's cheeks .

"Ow! Sowwy!"

Yuki let go .

"Why was I brought here again? I'm trying to prepare a dinner to put that fox girl in her place . "

"We tried to gather everyone," Alice said, "but they're too busy . Anyway, Tear, I'm curious . "

Yuki sat . Saki walked in, a faint blush on her face .

"You needed me, High Lady Tear?"

"Just take a seat over there," Tear said, pointing at the empty seat next to Yuki . When the ex-dark priest was settled, the succubus continued . She revealed a red scroll to them . Yuki and Alice's eyes widened . "The territory among demon politics—the Lot City scroll now belongs to Clyde . "

Melody blinked .

"I'm not against it, but are you sure that's a good idea? I don't want him to gain any unnecessary enemies . "

Tear poked Melody's forehead .

"You're just too sweet for your own good . He needs this to prevent any additional demon lords from taking root . "

"It only makes sense," Natalia said . "I volunteer to become pervy-nii's wife to help represent it all . "

Alice laughed .

"The only thing you'll do is get him arrested . "

Everyone burst into laughter . It felt good, at Natalia's expense . Even she gave in to the amus.e.m.e.nt .

A building in Lot City…

The Oyabun stood up to sneer at his minion .

"How hard is it to a.s.sa.s.sinate some kid? Seriously? f.u.c.k! Never mind, you know what, I'll send Her on it . "

"Sir, please don't invite her to this city . You know something's not right about her . And with all of the demons and monster—"

"SHUT THE f.u.c.k UP!" the Oyabun snapped . "You idiots had one job . Seriously one job . And now these days, that's all the public talks about . Team Stone, the so-called monsters, and now some kind an elf queen trying to make public relations with our prime minister . I don't even know what's going on with the world anymore . I'm supposed to have all the darkest, deepest information . I knew about this questionable s.h.i.+t for a long time…but why now? What happened to the barrier that protect mankind? f.u.c.k . Make sure you buffoons pick up my darling daughter and take her to that little anime shop she likes going to . Don't be late . "

"Yes sir," he said . "I'll personally do it . "

"Good . I'd rather pay you in cash, not splatter your brains across my walls . Now hurry . "

The minion hurried off, leaving the Oyabun by himself to make the phone call .

"My elite a.s.sa.s.sin has other s.h.i.+t to be doing . To think my idiotic men can't off one simple kid . We can't even find information on him . " He shook his head . "What does it all mean? Disaster? I'll have Her find out about him, just in case killing him f.u.c.ks us in the a.s.s . " He dialed the number . "Hopefully my darling daughter never runs into that sort . "

Clyde's House…

When Clyde got home, he showed the genie to her room .

"Why can't I just sleep with you, Master?"

The young man shot her a flat stare .

"Anyway, I'm going to get some crafting done . The others will help you settle in . "

Kanako hugged him once more before he left . He supposed before crafting, he should speak with Harumi about cooking and recipes but halfway down the hall, b.u.mped into Maki . "Sorry . "

Her yandere eyes lit and she pulled him into an empty room, closing and locking the door behind her .

"Yuki's out, but she wants me to continue to help you with training," Maki said then smiled, undressing . "And believe me, that's exactly what I'm going to do . "
