Gozo Island - Underground Tomb
Lynn grabbed Avrora's hand and pulled her up from the cold stone floor.
New familia member: unlocked!
Well… technically.
This place clearly wasn't ideal for a proper reincarnation ritual.
Lynn decided to hold off on bestowing his Blessing—for now.
Besides…He'd sensed a familiar presence nearby.
That aura… Natsuki-chan?
His eyes lit up with a hint of surprise.
What's she doing here? Crashing the party?
Curious, Lynn called out casually, "Hey, Natsuki-chan, not gonna come out and say hi?"
The moment his voice echoed through the tomb, the tension that had just started to ease immediately snapped back.
Gajou Akatsuki froze.
Someone else is here?!
His expression twitched.
Seriously? Is this ever gonna end?
First the Lion King Org, then the Black Death Emperor Faction… and now another player joins the chaos?
Gajou's teeth started to ache just thinking about it.
Sure, he'd mentally prepared himself for the mess that would come with getting involved in the Fourth Primogenitor's affairs.
But still, this was on a whole new level.
That said, this new person… seemed to know that guy.
The realization calmed Gajou's nerves a little.
After witnessing Lynn's overwhelming strength, Gajou couldn't help but treat him with newfound respect.
And honestly? Lynn did save Nagisa—he owed him big time.
...
On the other side, Endou paused when she heard the name "Natsuki."
Natsuki? Minamiya Natsuki?
The Witch of the Void?
Endou's thoughts spun.
What's she doing here?
...
Even Himeragi Yukina was surprised.
"Wait, Natsuki-sensei?" she muttered, blinking.
Same name as our teacher…?
After Lynn's words echoed, the tomb fell into an eerie silence—until the space itself shimmered slightly with a soft buzz.
Then—
A gothic-lolita-styled girl appeared out of thin air, expressionless, clad in black.
It was Minamiya Natsuki.
She laid eyes on Lynn and immediately sighed. "You again? You're everywhere, huh?"
Lynn just shrugged. "Where there's talent for a good familia, you'll always find me."
Natsuki: "…"
She stared at him, speechless, then muttered under her breath: "You're a walking addiction to collecting followers…"
Just thinking about how many people were already packed into Lynn's lounge made her eye twitch.
Sometimes she honestly couldn't tell if Lynn was building a powerful familia or just fulfilling his personal fantasies.
Because honestly, aside from a few that did have real abilities, didn't he also have a bunch of totally ordinary girls turned devils?
Still—Thanks to the Blessing system Lynn had developed, Natsuki knew they weren't just pretty faces.
That system made it clear: he was serious about strengthening them.
Even so, now he's targeting the Fourth Primogenitor?
Her gaze shifted to the girl behind Lynn.
"This one's your target now?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Lynn replied, completely shameless.
The look on Natsuki's face twitched again.
"You're the first devil I've seen trying to make a vampire Primogenitor part of his Peerage…"
The Primogenitors.
Among vampires, those titles weren't just symbolic—they were the rulers, the absolute top of the food chain.
Trying to turn one into a subordinate?
That was basically begging for an international disaster.
At the very least, the other three Primogenitors weren't going to take this quietly.
Even if they tried to stay calm, the rest of vampire society would force their hands.
As the leaders of their kind, they had to react.
Not just to show strength—but to keep order.
Natsuki understood the stakes immediately. She opened her mouth to say something…
But then glanced at Lynn's calm smile—and shut it again.
As if he doesn't already know.
No, Lynn knew exactly what kind of mess this could stir up.
He just didn't care.
Natsuki sighed inwardly, shaking her head.
"I'm the one overthinking this… again."
The Old Satan Faction had multiple Devil Kings backing them—and Lynn crushed them like bugs.
Those Primogenitors, no matter how legendary, were basically just Satan-level enemies at most.
To Lynn?
They were nothing.
In fact, he might even use this as a chance to rope in another high-quality recruit.
Thinking of the Third Primogenitor, the Chaos Bride, Natsuki's expression shifted subtly.
Yeah… that's definitely happening.
With Lynn's personality, it was practically guaranteed.
In that case, there really wasn't much to worry about.
If anything, she should be more concerned for those other Primogenitors.
But then, Natsuki suddenly remembered her original mission and her face stiffened.
With Lynn involved, Was she even going to get her final payment?
Her precious, high-grade tea!!
Natsuki screamed internally.
"Wait, you're really Natsuki-sensei?" Yukina stared in disbelief.
Their elegant, unassuming teacher from Shuchiin Academy… wasn't normal at all?!
Natsuki winced a little at hearing the word "sensei" and almost blurted out a line from her day job, before catching herself.
She turned around and blinked when she saw Yukina.
"…Ah, Himeragi-san."
Then she froze.
Sensing the faint trace of devil energy on Yukina, Natsuki fell silent.
She slowly turned to Lynn, her expression somewhere between disbelief and irritation.
"She just transferred in, and you already made your move?"
"Made a move?"
Yukina scratched her cheek awkwardly.
Technically… I jumped into the net myself.
Lynn just gave a helpless shrug and pointed toward Endou.
"Why don't you ask her?"
Following his gesture, Natsuki's eyes landed on a blonde elf with short hair and sharp features.
Immediately recognizing that striking face, her eyes narrowed.
"Lion King Org?"
"Yo." Endou grinned, one hand on her hip. "Didn't expect our first meeting to be in a place like this, Witch of the Void."
Natsuki gave her a blank stare, glancing from Endou to Yukina… and finally to the snowdrift wolf by her side.
Putting the clues together, she narrowed her eyes again.
"Himeragi-san… she was trained by the Lion King?"
Endou didn't answer directly—just shrugged noncommittally.
"Then let me get this straight," Natsuki continued, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "You're seriously just handing over your carefully trained student to a devil?"
There was an odd look on her face as she said it.
"What's with that phrasing?" Endou frowned, arms crossed. "That makes it sound really sketchy."
"Isn't it, though?" Natsuki shot back with a cold laugh.
Endou fired back, voice firm and righteous: "Lord Lynn saved Tokyo. Yukina was deeply moved by his actions and chose—of her own will—to join him. What's wrong with that?!"
"Or wait… are you actually questioning the sincerity of her gratitude?!"
Yukina: "...?"
