At this time, Shoyo, completely unaware that he was already being monitored by countless forces around the world, woke up from bed. Even if he had known, he wouldn't have been the least bit worried.
"Ah... a bit sore, a bit sore."
He touched his head, feeling a dull ache mixed with grogginess, as if he had a fever. Overall, his physical condition wasn’t great.
“Looks like overusing my power damaged my origin.”
Shoyo winced. Every time he tried to move his energy, it caused a wave of pain through his body. Fortunately, it was still bearable. But just then, an unfamiliar sensation came from his lower body.
“Hiss!”
He immediately glanced under the blanket, thinking it was Est sneaking under the sheets again while he slept. However, instead, he saw a girl with long night-colored hair.
“Mwah~”
“Master… good morning?” Amano Yuuma said, tilting her head with a shy smile. It seemed… this was her ‘pure’ mode.
“What’s with that outfit?”
Shoyo sat up slightly. Amano Yuuma was currently wearing a maid outfit.
“Ara~ This is the result of my long study after receiving Master’s orders, you see.”
“Your result was becoming a maid...? …Well, I did give you that order.”
Shoyo sighed, glancing to his other side. Sure enough… Est was lying there too.
“Becoming a maid was Master’s request, you see. As a follower of Master, I will definitely fulfill his will.”
Amano Yuuma licked her lips. Being by Master’s side was her greatest comfort. If she could become one with him, that would be the highest honor. Her faith had always been a little… twisted.
“Oh right, breakfast is ready, Master,” she said, gently hopping off the bed. Being able to stay near Master, to feel his aura and warmth, this brought her unparalleled joy.
“Okay. You go down first, I’ll join you in a bit.”
Shoyo opened his closet and took out his school uniform. Checking the clock, he saw it was already 7:30.
“Oh well... I’ll just use avatar to warp directly to school.”
He made the decision easily. “Oh right, there’s the sign-in too. Let’s see what today’s sign-in reward is.”
He opened the system interface.
Cough cough!~ …Cough cough cough!
His expression shifted slightly as two new missions appeared.

“Two daily sign-ins… that means, it’s the third day!?”
“I skipped school yesterday!?”
As he spoke, a throbbing pain hit his head.
“Hiss… looks like I need to be more careful when using that next time.”
After dressing, Shoyo looked at his slightly haggard reflection in the mirror while washing up.
“Well, at least the task got completed. If I'd gone through all that and still failed, that would've been a huge loss.”

“Oh right! There’s something I forgot to tell Master, two groups of visitors had come to visit you” Amano Yuuma’s voice floated up from downstairs.
Hmm, downstairs... His bedroom was on the second floor and the kitchen was on the first.
“Crap… this might get annoying.”
Hearing her words, Shoyo’s expression turned serious. The two groups of visitors must have been Rias and Sona. They both came to his house… meaning they both knew about each other now?
“Est, what exactly happened while I was unconscious?”
Shoyo summoned Est. He hadn’t logged scenarios for unconsciousness into the system, so he had to rely on her.
Once he connected mentally, Shoyo saw what had transpired.
Ajuka had brought him home and encountered Amano Yuuma at the door. Seeing Ajuka carrying Shoyo, Yuuma attacked him outright. Fortunately, Est popped out of Shoyo’s spirit imprint and explained the situation, albeit clumsily.
Ajuka, sensing Est’s power and intent, handed Shoyo over and left behind a projection with a message.
Then came the next day. His phone rang nonstop because he hadn’t shown up to school. Amano Yuuma, more tech-savvy than Est, answered it. That... turned serious quickly.
Sona, upon learning there was a woman (actually two) in Shoyo’s house, rushed over with Tsubaki. Thankfully, Ajuka’s recorded message had more weight than anything Est or Yuuma could say.
After Sona left that morning, Rias visited in the afternoon. She came to talk to Shoyo, realized he wasn’t at school, and also visited his home. Her reaction was similar to Sona’s, ending with a very subtle, unreadable look before she left.
“Hah…”
After watching Est’s memories, Shoyo had a complex expression. Not just this morning, but apparently yesterday as well, Yuuma had snuck into his bed. No matter what she did, she couldn’t wake him up.
“In any case… I should head to school.”
With a slight headache, Shoyo quickly finished breakfast under Yuuma’s infatuated gaze.
“You really are a little enchantress, Yuuma. Don’t forget to clean the house today.”
Before leaving, he looked back at her in the maid outfit.
“Hai~! Goodbye, Master!”
Yuuma licked her lips with a mix of charm and allure. Her ability to switch between modes, pure and seductive, was truly demonic in its own right.
“Bye.”
With that, Shoyo stepped out and warped directly to Kuoh Academy. Some things had to be faced eventually. Besides… ahem, he had nothing to be ashamed of. He still wanted to ask about the Familiar Forest. So of course, he had to go to school.
Even though he possessed the [Vamana the Dwarf] avatar, which allowed him to travel freely between worlds, he didn’t know the precise location of the Familiar Forest in the Underworld. It might even exist in a separate dimension, so he couldn’t just teleport there.
Slightly adjusting his collar, Shoyo arrived at Kuoh Academy.
However...
The moment he arrived and looked around, seeing exactly where he had landed and who was in front of him, he immediately regretted it.
After all... his body had just recovered. Making a tiny mistake while using an avatar was understandable, right?
Hopefully, she would understand.
“Yo… Koneko-chan?”
Shoyo gave a stiff, embarrassed smile to the girl standing in front of him, Koneko, who was in the middle of pulling up her panties in the restroom.
“Shoyo… Shoyo-senpai?”
Koneko said softly. In the next moment, realizing the situation, a bright blush spread across her cheeks. Her eyebrows lowered slightly, and she averted her gaze,
A textbook shy reaction.
