The Familia Base
"Yo, we meet again, Hayasaka."
Lynn sat casually on the sofa, eyeing Hayasaka Ai and Kaguya standing before him, both dressed in maid outfits.
"Good day to you, Lord Lynn."
Hayasaka gave a small bow before speaking. "I'm your personal maid. From now on, please feel free to order me around as you wish."
Her expression looked a little dazed.
Just yesterday, he'd asked if she wanted to change jobs. And today… it actually happened.
It all moved so fast, she felt like she was dreaming.
Still, she adjusted quickly. She was a maid by profession, after all—this was well within her comfort zone.
Next to her, Shinomiya Kaguya stood awkwardly, staring at her feet, clearly avoiding Lynn's gaze.
She looked nervous. Embarrassed, even.
Well, who wouldn't be?
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that the next time they met, she'd end up as Lynn's personal maid too.
Logically speaking, Lynn was the one who brought down the entire Shinomiya family.
But even so... Kaguya didn't feel any hatred toward him.
It's not like she was brainless—she'd started this mess with him first.
And surprisingly... Despite now being assigned to him as a maid, she didn't really hate it. In fact, she almost felt relieved.
Why? She wasn't sure herself.
It was like that time when she heard Lynn didn't even spare her a thought—she felt a strange disappointment and a desire to be noticed by him.
Maybe... she really was messed up in the head?
At that moment, she felt a small poke in her side.
"Eh!?"
She jumped a little and let out a yelp.
Lynn glanced at her, amusement playing on his lips.
Kaguya froze.
Then, another poke—same spot.
This time, she didn't overreact. She calmed down and realized it was Hayasaka.
Thinking back to her earlier words, something clicked. Kaguya quickly bowed her head.
"I'm your personal maid, Shinomiya Kaguya."
"Please order me however you see fit from now on."
Her face turned crimson as she forced herself to say the words, mirroring Hayasaka almost word-for-word.
Lynn leaned forward slightly, reached out, and gently lifted Kaguya's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
Her whole body stiffened. She quickly looked away.
Seeing that, Lynn's lips curled into a smirk.
"I gotta say, I liked you better when you were all proud and defiant."
Her lips trembled. She couldn't stop shaking.
And then—with a soft thud—Kaguya fell to her knees in front of him.
"I-I'm sorry, Lord Lynn!"
"I was ignorant and arrogant before!"
She bowed deeply, her body trembling like a leaf. Tears welled up in her eyes.
She had to earn his forgiveness—only then could she keep serving him.
Only then could she have a shot at redemption.
Hayasaka watched the whole scene silently, her expression complicated.
The old proud Kaguya would've never bowed like this.
But after everything that happened to the Shinomiya family, all that pride had been shattered.
Lynn leaned back on the sofa, staring down at Kaguya with a look of interest before letting out a low chuckle.
"If you're apologizing… isn't it common sense to remove your clothes and show me your chest first?"
"...Huh?"
Kaguya froze.
Her tear-filled eyes looked toward Hayasaka, confused.
Is that… normal?
But Hayasaka looked away slightly.
Without a clear answer, Kaguya bit her lip, voice trembling.
"I-I understand…"
If you can't satisfy Lord Lynn... who knows what might happen~
Yukinoshita Haruno's words echoed in her ears.
For the sake of what was left of the Shinomiya name—
It's just exposing her chest.
Just her chest.
That's all.
And somehow… If it was Lynn…
It'd probably be okay?
Kaguya closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and started undoing the buttons on her blouse with trembling fingers.
One… two… three…
Lynn's eyes fell on the pale fabric gradually being exposed.
Kaguya's face was burning red, her lips tightly pressed together.
She'd never done anything like this before.
But today… wasn't like any other day.
And strangely…
As Lynn said nothing, she felt no fear. Just embarrassment.
Maybe if it were anyone else, she wouldn't have been able to do something so outrageous even if it killed her.
After about a minute...
This… should be enough… right?
With her white undergarments fully exposed, Kaguya hesitated.
But...
She sneaked a glance at Lynn—then quickly looked away again.
He still didn't look satisfied.
Kaguya bit her lip. Then—without thinking—she reached behind her and unhooked her bra.
Click.
The last soft fabric slid down.
What Lynn saw… was flat chest.
With just a touch of pink.
"Looks like Miko has got competition," Lynn muttered under his breath.
There wasn't much to admire, really.
He only gave it a quick glance before summoning a devil piece in his hand and pressing it right onto her chest.
Didn't really matter which side he picked—there wasn't much of a difference anyway.
"Mmh…!"
The sudden coldness made Kaguya flinch, her eyelashes trembling wildly.
But she didn't open her eyes. She just let him do whatever he wanted.
A second later, a surge of energy flooded into her body.
Her eyes snapped open.
Something… Was entering her!!
[Ding! You've acquired Familia member: Shinomiya Kaguya!]
[Ding! Your Familia member Shinomiya Kaguya has reincarnated as a special-type Devil!]
Just like always, the system chimed in his ears.
Lynn looked over at Kaguya's newly revealed Blessing data.

---
As the data surfaced, a chill burst out from Kaguya's body.
Hayasaka instinctively shivered, then stared at her in shock.
"This is…?"
"A reincarnation ritual," Lynn replied casually.
He turned to Kaguya.
"From now on, now, you're officially my personal maid."
Kaguya looked down at her hands.
Vmmm—
A pulse of cold energy flared.
Crack—crack—
A diamond-shaped ice crystal formed in her palms.
The cold should've been intense, but she barely felt a thing. She just stared at it, lost in thought.
So this is… supernatural power...
Was that why Lord Lynn told her to show her chest? To give her this gift?
A strange emotion swelled in her heart.
But why?
Why would Lord Lynn give this kind of power to someone like me…?
Slowly, she lifted her gaze and stared blankly at Lynn.
She'd even forgotten to put her clothes back on.
As if sensing the confusion in her eyes, Lynn answered plainly, "Because you're mine now."
Thump.
Thump thump!!
Kaguya instinctively clutched her chest.
At that moment, it felt like her heart had been struck by something—pounding wildly in her chest!
Her vision blurred slightly. Crystal-clear tears spilled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
She came here to atone…
Yet instead, she was the one receiving a reward first…
Kaguya bit her lip hard as tears streamed down her face, her delicate nose turning red.
"Woo~…"
She couldn't hold back her sobs, though she tried to muffle them, letting out pitiful little whimpers.
Like a wounded puppy whimpering in the rain.
Senhime suddenly looked up.
Wait, did a dog yokai sneak in?! What was that sound?
But when she followed the sound and saw the source, she just clicked her tongue in disappointment and buried her face again.
Kaguya quietly sobbed, her shoulders trembling slightly.
She felt like the hollow void in her chest had been filled—by Lynn.
Her crimson eyes locked on him, wide and dazed.
And all Lynn did was look back at her…
Huff—
Her breathing quickened ever so slightly before she hurriedly looked away. Then her thighs clamped together, and her face flushed bright pink in an instant.
Suddenly, the idea of…
Becoming Lord Lynn's personal maid…
Didn't really feel like punishment anymore.
Realizing that, Kaguya froze.
Oh no!
How the hell was she supposed to atone now?!
Off to the side—
Hayasaka Ai watched Kaguya, her expression complicated.
In just a few short days, it felt like she'd seen a dozen different sides of Kaguya.
Is she… even better at pretending than me?
So that whole cold ice-queen act—was it all fake?
But…
Seeing that Kaguya still seemed okay, mentally at least, Hayasaka finally let out a small breath of relief.
She hadn't actually needed to report in today.
But after Kaguya made that sudden decision, she decided to tag along anyway.
She didn't care for the Shinomiya family, but when it came to Kaguya…
She really did think of her as a friend. Or maybe more like… a little sister?
Anyway—
Seeing Kaguya like this, Hayasaka felt a little more at ease.
But still—
Kaguya's situation might be settled, but…
Now it's my turn, isn't it…?
Hayasaka Ai's eye twitched as she glanced at Kaguya's half-open maid outfit.
Don't tell me I have to…
Just thinking about it made her tense up.
Sure, she'd been trained to be a maid since childhood—and she was damn good at it too.
But this private maid business?
Totally new territory. It honestly felt like she'd stepped straight into a hentai movie.
Master and Maid? This was her first time.
And of all things, her first time had to be this intense?!
Still… The reincarnation ritual, the blessing system…
Supernatural power!
Hayasaka Ai clenched her fists.
She was this close to it. No way she was backing down now!
Besides—
Becoming one of Lynn's chosen came with way too many perks!
Aside from the supernatural powers, the only thing she really remembered from Haruno was eternal youth. Eternal youth and… yeah, more eternal youth!
For any girl, that's the ultimate cheat!
Not to mention—
The moment she agreed to be Lynn's personal maid, she knew it was only a matter of time before she had to bare her whole self to him.
And more importantly—Lynn had destroyed her family's old enemies.
Even if he didn't do it for her, it still felt incredibly satisfying.
That was a favor she'd never forget.
So—
There was nothing to hesitate over.
Well… maybe one thing.
A teeny bit of shame.
But whatever—It's too late to back out now.
Hayasaka took a few deep breaths, then quickly started unbuttoning her maid uniform.
"L-Lord Lynn… please mark me as yours."
Her cool expression barely changed, but there was a faint hint of nervousness in her steady voice.
She took off her top smoothly, subtly hiding her undergarments behind her back.
Lynn gave her a once-over, then squinted.
"…You sure about this?"
"…You...uh so it was fake?"
He couldn't help the twitch at the corner of his mouth when he noticed the dramatic drop in the size of her chest.
Hayasaka froze instantly.
Crap… he noticed!
Thud!
Suddenly—
Two thick sponge pads dropped.
"Huh?"
Kaguya picked one up, blinking. "Hayasaka, what's this?"
Hayasaka Ai: "…"
