Shuchiin Academy, Old School Building
Yukinoshita Yukino fell into silent reflection.
She felt… defeated.
She was even starting to doubt herself.
In a world like this, where supernatural powers existed, could someone like her—someone without any abilities—really change anything at all?
"Go, Miko! Kick its ass!!"
Yurikawa Hana cheered loudly from the sidelines, waving her arms in excitement as Yotsuya Miko continued her battle.
Her naturally clueless personality meant she didn't find it strange at all that Miko had suddenly gained supernatural powers.
"Haaah—"
Hana's voice snapped Yukino out of her thoughts.
She let out a breath.
Now wasn't the time to be worrying about things like that.
She shifted her focus back to the fight.
---
Utaha was slightly out of breath.
Fighting a curse spirit stronger than them meant she had gone all out from the start.
Her magic was running low…
She turned to Lynn. "Master, replenish me."
For Utaha, this was already a natural request.
"Wait a second—!!"
Yukino's eyes widened in shock.
What did she just hear?!
Did she just call Lynn… Master?!
She whipped her head back and forth between Utaha and Lynn, trying to decipher their relationship.
Boyfriend and girlfriend?
Or was "Master" just… some weird thing they were into?
And what the hell did "replenish" mean?!
Up until now, Lynn's Familia had referred to him as "President" while at school to avoid unnecessary attention.
But in the heat of the moment, Utaha had slipped up.
Smack.
Lynn didn't bother explaining.
Why should he?
He was a Devil.
What was there to explain?
His Familia needed to replenish their magic, and as their Master, it was his responsibility.
He gently held Utaha's face and kissed her.
Yukino was completely shaken.
Her pupils trembled.
This was it—undeniable proof.
They definitely had that kind of relationship!!
Shouldn't there be some consideration for the occasion?!
The whole mood had suddenly shifted from an intense battle to a romance scene!
As their lips parted, Utaha could feel the energy Lynn had transferred into her.
"Oh my~ So you two have that kind of relationship, huh?"
Kanoe Yuuko floated over, lazily draping herself over Lynn's back, eyes filled with curiosity and mischief.
Utaha narrowed her eyes at the spirit girl.
"You. You seriously have no sense of personal space, do you?"
Yuuko had been sticking close to Lynn from the start.
"Have you been single for the last 800 years or something?" Utaha shot back.
Yuuko didn't seem bothered by the remark.
Instead, she pressed her chest against Lynn a little harder.
"Well? Soft, isn't it?"
Her slanted eyes held a teasing glint.
"Hmm… No bra?" Lynn was surprised.
"I don't really need those…"
Pervert.
This ghost was a total pervert.
Utaha gritted her teeth in frustration.
Smack!
Before she could lash out, Lynn gave her a firm slap on the butt. "Quit messing around and get back to the fight."
"O-okay!"
Utaha's face flushed red as she hurried off to rejoin Miko and Mahiru.
Yuuko blinked, looking a little dumbfounded.
That… actually worked?
She was hoping to tease Utaha a bit more.
"P-President…"
Yotsuya Miko panted, nearly out of stamina and magic.
Seeing this, Lynn didn't waste words—he simply replenished her energy.
Yuuko: "Huh?"
Yukino: "!"
Yui: "?"
W-What was going on here?!
Yurikawa Hana's eyes went wide as she gasped, covering her mouth in shock.
"Miko! So bold!!"
Wait—But Lynn had just kissed Utaha moments ago, right?
So then… who was the actual girlfriend here?!
Hana's brain struggled to keep up.
"Mahiru, do you need it too?"
After releasing Miko, Lynn turned to Shiina Mahiru.
Mahiru's face was flushed—partly from exhaustion, but mostly from embarrassment.
There… There was no other choice.
She hadn't brought any of Shizuka's natural potions, so…This was her only option.
After all, she couldn't afford to waste this opportunity to gain experience.
"Haaah—"
She let out a deep breath, her voice barely a whisper.
"P-please take care of me, Lynn-san…"
And just like that—
Shiina Mahiru had her first "magic replenishment."
Her gaze turned hazy.
"So this is what Lynn-san tastes like…"
"Wha… A-all three of them?!" Yuuko fell into stunned silence.
Even as a spirit who had been around for sixty years, she had never seen anything like this before.
"Ah… So it really is a harem club, huh…"
Yukinoshita Yukino stared blankly, feeling like her entire worldview had crumbled.
No—her entire outlook on life and values were shaking at their foundation.
No wonder, back when she first called the Supernatural Research Club a Harem Club, no one had argued against it.
Because… there was simply no need to argue.
"Y-Yuki… did that curse spirit just use an illusion attack on me?"
Her friend, Yui, was trembling. "Why… why am I seeing them all making out with the same guy?!"
"No, you're not hallucinating. That was real." Yukino couldn't help but say it.
"EHHHHHHHH?!"
— — —
Some time later…
Utaha, Miko, and Mahiru were once again running low on stamina.
Seeing this, Lynn casually raised his hand—
A bolt of black lightning shot through the air.
BOOM!!
The already weakened curse spirit took a direct hit!
The devastating energy of the lightning completely shattered it, reducing it to its purest form—raw cursed energy.
"Spirit Absorption—Activate."
A high-grade cursed spirit condensed into a single experience crystal, which Lynn casually stored away.
"Okay, mission complete."
Lynn pulled out his phone and snapped a picture, sending it to Minamiya Natsuki.
[Natsuki-chan: "I told you to exorcise the spirit, not demolish the damn building!!"]
Lynn glanced around.
From the outside, the old school building looked fine.
But inside? It looked like a fire had broken out.
[Lynn: "That's your problem to deal with. Just make sure my payment is ready."]
[Natsuki-chan: "…" ]
Yukino stood there, dazed.
They had been fighting with everything they had, yet in the end, all it took was one move from Lynn, and the cursed spirit was gone.
What a terrifying man.
Her gaze toward Lynn was now filled with awe and… fear.
Never. Never mess with this guy.
At the same time, her mind was flooded with countless questions.
Like— How can they have these powers? What the hell is "magic replenishment"?!
Based on her observations, after kissing Lynn, Utaha and the others seemed to regain all their energy.
So…Was kissing him actually some kind of combat sustain method?!
She had so many questions about Lynn and his group.
But after this mission, she probably wouldn't have any further involvement with the Supernatural Research Club, right?
After all, she and Lynn belonged to completely different worlds.
---
"Ahhh—"
"So tired!"
Utaha groaned, rubbing her sore shoulders.
"This felt more exhausting than fighting zombies."
Even after three rounds of replenishment, they still hadn't been able to defeat the cursed spirit.
"Well, it was a high-grade spirit. You guys aren't quite there yet."
Lynn shrugged before adding—
"That said, after this fight, I bet your stats will see a solid increase."
Utaha, Miko, and Mahiru's eyes lit up.
They had fought against a high-grade cursed spirit for so long—just how much would their abilities improve?!
"Sigh… Are you guys leaving already?"
Kanoe Yuuko floated over, her expression a little lonely.
Alone in the old school building… she felt really, really lonely.
Seeing this, Lynn extended his hand.
"Wanna consider joining my Familia?"
