DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch.-Chapter 41: Slowly But Surely

"Mmmn~"

"Haa… Haa… Ahhn… My… my body feels… so strange… ngh~"

Plop!

Utaha's vision blurred for a moment as a shiver ran through her body.

She parted her trembling lips, her breath hot and uneven, before swallowing every drop of Lynn's saliva, savoring the intimate exchange as warmth spread through her, amplifying the effects of the magic replenishment.

Mahiru, who had just joined Lynn's Peerage, widened her eyes, her pupils trembling violently.

As a new member, witnessing such an intense scene right away left her little heart flustered, beating rapidly.

Utaha noticed her exaggerated reaction, looked away, and muttered under her breath, "It's just something new to her."

It's just magic replenishment.

Yes, just replenishing magic!

Utaha quickly composed herself and even began explaining the concept of magic replenishment to the newcomer, passing on some of her own experiences.

Wait… why am I even explaining this to her?

Utaha's popular science session abruptly halted.

What if Mahiru used magic replenishment as an excuse to get closer to Lynn in the future?!

Lynn was already busy every day. The least she could do was let him have some proper rest!

"…?"

Mahiru stared at Utaha in confusion.

Why did she stop explaining?

She wasn't done listening yet!

Lynn, on the other hand, wasn't paying attention to their small drama.

Since Mahiru was quickly getting acquainted with everyone, he was more than happy to see it happen.

Not far away, Miko was looking at him eagerly.

Raising an eyebrow, Lynn smirked. "What's wrong, Miko? Do you need magic replenishment too?"

"No, no, no! I-I-I—!"

Miko instantly panicked, frantically waving her hands in denial.

But Lynn could see she was exhausted. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward her.

"That won't do. How can you level up properly if you don't restore your stamina and magic power?"

"Mmm~!"

Miko's eyes widened in shock as something soft and warm pressed against her lips.

A deep blush spread across her face, heat pooling in her chest.

Despite the shyness gripping her, her body showed no signs of resistance, if anything, a tingling sensation coursed through her veins, making her head spin.

Her trembling hand rested lightly against Lynn's chest as she stared at him, dazed.

Is this… a kiss…?

"Ahhh~ Yeshhh~ Th-This… feels so good…!"

Her vision blurred, her body surrendering to the intoxicating pleasure.

Strange… it smells like… orange lipstick…

Wait… this scent… It's just like Utaha-senpai's…

The kiss didn't last long.

Lynn quickly pulled away.

But Miko still felt breathless, her fingers instinctively touching her lips.

A strange, unfamiliar feeling swirled in her heart.

Her first kiss…

It wasn't… bad?

On the other side, Utaha rolled her eyes at the scene, feeling utterly helpless.

She unconsciously kicked the air with her foot and muttered, "I knew Miko wouldn't escape either."

At this rate, wouldn't she fall behind Miko?

The thought sent a chill through Utaha's spine.

No!

I need to find a chance to get myself into Lynn's bed!

Mahiru, still watching, was a little surprised.

She finally understood the significance of their Peerage name.

She whispered softly, "So it really is a harem…"

Then, she inevitably thought about herself.

A faint blush crept up her face.

Would she also… eventually…?

No, no, no! I can't think about this!

After letting Miko experience magic replenishment, Lynn turned his attention to their Peerage base in the Zombie World.

It had already been half a month since he arrived here.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

The area surrounding their base had been almost entirely developed.

In fact, there weren't even enough zombies left in the vicinity for Saeko and the others to grind for experience.

Utaha and Miko were fine.

Since they had school during the week, they only leveled up at night.

But Saeko and Shizuka were native to this world.

With society already collapsed, they no longer had work or school to attend.

That meant… all they did was kill.

Or rather, Saeko was the one doing all the killing.

Before the apocalypse, she had always been suppressing her true nature.

But now, she could finally let loose.

And Saeko had no intention of stopping.

As a result, Shizuka, who was constantly dragged along, complained endlessly.

But the results spoke for themselves.

Shizuka's progress aside, Saeko's growth rate was insane!

A few days ago, during an update to the system, she had even broken through SS-rank and reached SSS-rank!

However, the higher she climbed, the slower her progress became.

Lynn estimated that Saeko had almost reached the limit of a lower-class demon.

If things continued at this pace, she wouldn't be able to break through further without spending years grinding.

If there was still no progress today, he would upgrade her.

Lynn already had a plan in mind.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten the reason he brought Mahiru here.

"Mahiru, it's time to test your ability."

"Yes!"

Mahiru straightened her back.

She looked nervous, instinctively clasping her hands together.

It's finally time…

She had no idea what her ability was truly like.

Just reading the description didn't give her a clear picture.

"Saeko."

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing Lynn's voice, Saeko immediately understood his intentions.

The moment she moved, it was like an arrow being loosed from a bow.

She shot forward, leaving only cracks in the ground where she once stood.

Her attributes had already reached the limits of a lower-class demon.

Her physical strength was now far beyond what it once was!

In just a few minutes, Saeko had drawn a horde of scattered zombies toward them.

"So these are… zombies?"

Mahiru clenched her fists, taking deep breaths.

Lynn had already explained the situation in the Zombie World before bringing her here.

But seeing the creatures firsthand, she couldn't help but feel the same unease that Utaha and the others had when they first arrived.

Lynn thought for a moment.

Considering Mahiru's ability, he gave an order.

"Rei, go grab a pistol."

"Ah, right! On it!"

Rei snapped out of her daze and hurried off.

The firearms in Rika Minami's room had been discovered long ago.

But no one in Lynn's Peerage had really used them.

They had only tested them out a little before leaving them to collect dust.

But for Mahiru, a gun might actually be useful.

Her ability, Fallen Wings, was likely a large-scale area attack.

But its magic consumption was probably high.

With Mahiru's current magic reserves, she wouldn't be able to keep it active indefinitely.

That's why a low-consumption, single-target attack method was necessary.

By channeling attribute magic into bullets, she could fire precise, effective attacks.

While waiting for Rei to return, they wouldn't sit around idly.

"Mahiru, try activating Fallen Wings first."

"Okay!"

Mahiru nodded firmly.

Closing her eyes, she focused on the power within her body.

"Hnn…!"

She could feel something emerging from her back.

Whoosh!

A single black feather drifted across the night sky.

Then—

A pair of massive black wings, nearly three meters wide, unfurled from her shoulder blades!

The deep, gloomy color clashed with Mahiru's otherwise holy appearance…

Yet it exuded an irresistible, decadent allure.
