"T-This... This is magic restoration?!"
Yotsuya Miko covered her face with both hands, but her wide eyes peeked through her fingers, staring intently at Lynn and Utaha.
"Utaha-senpai... so bold!!"
Her face turned bright red, heat surging through her entire body. Her thighs squirmed slightly as an unfamiliar warmth spread within her.
A moment later—
Utaha pulled away from Lynn's lips.
Her gaze was hazy, her expression dreamy, with a faint trace of intoxication lingering in her eyes, as if still immersed in the afterglow of the kiss.
Soft...
Lynn silently evaluated the sensation in his mind with just one word.
Utaha blinked and snapped back to reality. Suddenly, her hands trembled as she realized what she had just done.
W-What the hell was that?!
Dignity! Where was her dignity as a maiden?!
She abruptly pulled her hands back, straightened her posture, and casually brushed her hair behind her ear, trying to maintain her composure. However, her voice came out slightly shaky:
"D-Don't misunderstand! I just think that giving the Master some benefits is a basic duty of a retainer."
Lynn raised an eyebrow with an amused look and said teasingly, "Wasn't that actually me giving my retainer a reward?"
"After all, you were the one who wanted 'magic replenishment.'"
Utaha stiffened slightly before pouting, "There wasn't any magic flowing into me just now, so it doesn't count!"
"Next time... I'll come back to claim it properly."
With that, she awkwardly turned around, her body stiff and movements uncoordinated as she shuffled toward the door.
"I-I just remembered something! I have to go!"
BANG!
The door of the Club room slammed shut.
Outside, Utaha leaned against the wall, her heart pounding like crazy.
"My body... feels so hot..."
She panted lightly, hugging her own arm, her gaze slightly dazed.
That was too impulsive!
She had just... acted on instinct.
Raising a hand, she touched her lips and suddenly let out a silly giggle.
'That was my second kiss.'
'It felt much stronger than the first one.'
And this time... she had taken the initiative!
"Hehe..."
Utaha found herself lost in thought.
Her inspiration was overflowing—she had the sudden urge to write it all down.
Material!
Yes, this is all just for gathering writing material!
Utaha had an epiphany.
Then, she suddenly realized—
"Crap! I left my tablet in the clubroom!"

Inside the clubroom—
"She's surprisingly innocent."
Lynn recalled Himejima Akeno's previous assessment.
It was spot on.
Meanwhile, Miko was battling an internal struggle.
Not only had she just witnessed what felt like the kiss of the century, but before she could even process it, Utaha's words had thrown her mind into turmoil.
'Giving the Master benefits is a retainer's duty?'
Is that true?
Is this... an exclusive tradition among Devils?
Her hands trembled slightly as she flipped through the "Basic Knowledge of the Underworld" document at lightning speed.
Nothing! There was no mention of this anywhere!
But Utaha-senpai just did it.
As a fellow retainer, should she do the same?
Would something bad happen if she didn't?
Would Lynn-sama... abandon her?
Miko's mind flashed back to the section on Stray Devils.
A Devil who loses their Master, or worse, is abandoned by them, becomes an outcast in the Underworld.
No! I don't want that!!
Miko suddenly shot up from her seat, determination in her eyes, and walked toward Lynn.
Lynn: "..."
Why did this scene feel so familiar?
"You..."
Before he could say anything, Miko quickly leaned down and placed a fleeting peck on his cheek—like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water.
"T-That was a benefit for Lynn-sama!"
Blushing furiously, she blurted out the words and grabbed her bag, dashing out the door at full speed.
BANG!
The door slammed shut.

Outside, Miko exhaled deeply, her face still burning red.
But then... she felt an intense gaze on her.
Turning her head slowly, she found herself staring into a pair of wine-red eyes.
"Ahaha... Utaha-senpai! You're still here..."
Miko gave an awkward laugh, then quickly said, "I-I have something to do! I'll be going now!"
She fled for her life.
Utaha narrowed her eyes. "She had something to do too?"
— — —
Inside the clubroom—
Lynn touched his right cheek, still slightly damp from Miko's peck.
He absentmindedly stroked his chin and muttered to himself:
"Utaha-beast... you're really a good woman..."
The words Miko had blurted out made it clear—she had definitely misunderstood something.
But that was fine.
Lynn decided to make this misunderstanding a reality.
A moment later, the Group Chat received a new announcement:
["Giving the Master benefits is a retainer's duty."]
Lynn stared at it for a second, then decided to tweak it a little.
He removed the word "some" and changed "giving" to "providing."
Now, the message read:
["Providing benefits to the Master is a retainer's duty."]
And just like that, the first official rule of the Lynn Household was born.
Lynn nodded in satisfaction.
But then, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
---
On his status panel—
His hidden Devil's Contract skill had begun to appear and glow.
"Finally..."
His crimson pupils gleamed faintly.
The flyers, designed as a "contract opportunity," allowed Devils to cross worlds under the pretense of fulfilling wishes.
In truth, they were a tool for invading other worlds, plundering their resources and talents.
"Someone finally fell for it!"
