"Master~ did you forget about us? I was forced by Lady Mio to study all day at home. I wanted to wait for you to come back and check on me properly."
Unlike Naruse Mio, who still hadn't fully adjusted mentally, Naruse Maria, whose little foot was also being played with, had an unnatural blush on her face. She still took the initiative to hug Hachiman's arm, looking up at him pitifully, her eyes full of grievance and resentment.
"Who knew Master would go straight to the club next door and not come home at all, only coming back at dawn. Lady Mio and I waited for you for so long."
"Master, can I just go to school directly? I heard the new demi-humans at school don't understand anything either."
Humans were intimate with Lord Hikigaya at home at night, demi-humans were intimate with Lord Hikigaya at school during the day.nThen what about them? They didn't belong to the demi-human camp or the human camp. They stayed home during the day, and at night they didn't get any share either.
"If you want to go to school, Maria, of course you can. I only wanted you to get familiar with the environment here before attending school."
Hachiman raised his brows and firmly smacked Naruse Maria's little butt.
"But you specifically came to my bed just to talk about this? And what's with that way of addressing me? Why are you calling me Master?"
"Isn't it only natural for a little sister to warm her big brother's bed!"
Naruse Maria lifted her chin confidently. A little sister who doesn't want to warm her brother's bed isn't a good little sister.
"As for Master… we're not your real sisters anyway, so what's wrong with calling you Master?"
Even if their strength meant nothing beside Master, Lady Mio was still a future Demon King. Of course she couldn't just be an ordinary little sister. If she was going to be one, she would be a slave little sister.
"What exactly is inside that head of yours? Does Komachi know you two came to my room?"
Hachiman felt speechless. He turned to glance at Naruse Mio. Seeing her only lowering her head with a red face and not refuting Maria's words, he changed the way he toyed with her foot.
"Hehe~ Lady Komachi didn't say she agreed, but she didn't object either."
Knowing how much Hachiman cared about Komachi, Naruse Maria immediately smiled slyly, her eyes full of cunning.
Who was she? She was a nightmare.
She could tell at a glance that Komachi wasn't such a proper little sister.
Even Shion, who had moved in before them, had already been thoroughly stained inside and out with Master's scent.
If Tohsaka Sakura and Tohsaka Rin weren't sleeping together with Komachi, she would have really wanted to try pulling Komachi and Shion over to wait for Master together.
"By the way, tom—tonight does Master have time? Lady Mio wants to sign a master-servant contract with you."
No time to waste. Naruse Maria didn't dare slowly ease into the topic anymore and directly revealed the reason she and Naruse Mio were waiting on the bed.
"A master-servant contract? With Mio?"
Hachiman immediately looked toward Naruse Mio, who had been silent the whole time, biting her lip tightly.
Sure enough, Maria still wanted him to drink some contract from Naruse Mio or something. Did she really not consider what kind of state Mio, who was tsundere and shy, would be tortured into by such a contract?
"That's right, a master-servant contract. To thank Master for taking us in and protecting us, Lady Mio has decided to sign a contract with you."
Naruse Maria instinctively left herself out of it. She blinked playfully and, while sitting on his fingers, wrapped her arms around his neck, her soft moist cherry lips close to his ear as she whispered temptingly.
"After the contract is signed, if Lady Mio ever has any bad thoughts about you in her heart, she'll be punished."
"Master, don't you want to gain a well-behaved and obedient Demon King little sister?"
"No matter what you tell her to do, she can only obey and cannot resist your orders, a slave little sister~"
"A slave little sister… Mio, do you have no objections? Actually, you don't need to worry about being hunted by demons from the Demon Realm. There are many magical girls in the club. If any demons dare to cause trouble, Rione and the others will protect you."
Although he knew that in the original story of The Testament of Sister New Devil Naruse Mio had signed this contract, Hachiman still looked at her and asked her opinion.
It was called a master-servant contract, but in reality it wasn't much different from a master-slave contract. The servant side couldn't generate thoughts of disobeying the master. Even tsundere thoughts in the mind would be punished by the contract. And now Mio wasn't mistakenly thinking she was the master. She already knew she would be the servant.
How could a tsundere personality like Naruse Mio so easily agree to sign such a contract?
He thought about it seriously and felt that maybe he hadn't given them enough sense of security.
To him, the demons of the Demon Realm weren't worth worrying about. If something happened, the system would notify him, and he could teleport through the love list.
Besides, demons crossing realms seemed to be suppressed in strength like the demons on Iris's side. If they really appeared, it would instead give the magical girls in the club, who had grown rapidly in one day, some combat practice.
But Mio and Maria didn't know any of this.
To them, who were weak, the demons he didn't care about were enough to leave them with nowhere to hide and constantly on the run.
"N-no… I agree…"
After Hachiman's serious explanation, he realized that Naruse Mio, who should have been tsundere, didn't argue at all. Instead, as Naruse Maria muttered beside her, her head lowered more and more, and she tightly hugged her own arms.
She knew Hachiman didn't need to lie to her. If he said he would protect her, he would.
But that was all.
If she only wanted to survive and asked for nothing else, she and Maria could hide in the club. When going out, they could stay with the magical girls. As long as they didn't seek to improve their strength in the future, they probably wouldn't face danger.
But she was the daughter of the former Demon King. Her biological father's old subordinates were still waiting for her. Her adoptive parents had also died because of her and the Demon King power within her that she hadn't mastered.
The Hikigaya house was wonderful. The lively, crowded home gave her and Maria, who had been fleeing for so long, an indescribable sense of security. Even when everyone went to school during the day and the house was empty, she and Maria didn't have to worry about pursuers appearing. They could sleep peacefully.
But she only had the identity of an adoptive little sister. Apart from that, she had nothing.
She didn't have the overwhelming power like the goddess-angel Suzune Rione who could easily eliminate demons, nor did she have the deep affection built up over time like Komachi.
She had only been accepted into the Hikigaya house out of Hachiman's sympathy, given protection.
Even Tohsaka Sakura and Rin's older sister, Tohsaka Touka, who had slept with Komachi last night, had an intimate relationship with him.
How could she not want to give something in return?
Maria was right. She couldn't just be an ordinary adoptive little sister. She had to become a closer little sister, closer than anyone else.
"Since Master and Lady Mio both agree, then without further delay, let's conclude the contract immediately."
Seeing Mio's emotions brewing to the peak and knowing that if she waited any longer Mio might pour out everything in her heart, Naruse Maria quickly stood up to break the heavy atmosphere and knelt beside Hachiman and Naruse Mio, beginning the contract ritual.
In truth, getting closer to Lord Hikigaya and acknowledging him as Master really had no problem at all.
She wasn't harming Lady Mio. She just hid a tiny bit of something.
But it was absolutely worth it. Master had worked hard all night yet didn't look exhausted at all, even carrying the mermaid princess over here to open a new battlefield.
He even seemed to have given the mermaid princess some reward, letting her awaken her bloodline and instantly gain powerful strength.
In her perception, Master was becoming stronger and fiercer.
If she and Lady Mio hadn't slept in Master's blanket for so long and barely gotten used to his scent, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand now. Like before, she would go weak in the legs just by approaching him.
"Why are you trembling again? Are you cold?"
Seeing Naruse Maria, dressed only in thin black pantyhose, trembling lightly, Hachiman wrapped an arm around her soft fragrant shoulder and gently stroked her rosy, delicate face.
He could tell she was playing little tricks. In the original story, it seemed Mio had indeed been tricked by Maria.
The punishment attached to the master-servant contract was originally a curse that caused pain.
But because Maria was a nightmare, and even her magic carried a horny effect, once Mio had tsundere thoughts, her body would be overwhelmed by horniness, becoming extremely sensitive and unbearably uncomfortable, craving his affection to be relieved.
"Um… maybe the temperature in the morning is a bit low. After Lady Mio and Master finish signing the contract, I'll put on clothes."
Seeing his gaze, Maria's heart tightened. She felt like her little scheme had been exposed, but she still forced a smile and sped up the contract signing between him and Mio.
Impossible. Master was strong, but he shouldn't have been to the Demon Realm. Otherwise she would have known about such a powerful figure there.
But things had already come this far. She couldn't back down now. Just finish it quickly.
As long as the master-servant contract was successfully signed, whether it could be undone wouldn't be up to Lady Mio anymore.
"Heh… then after you finish, Maria, I'll properly cherish you."
Hachiman smiled and shook his head without saying more. His free hand continued to move over Maria's body, slowly sliding down from her smooth white back, gently grabbing the swaying tail at her hips.
Maria's whole body trembled, and she looked over pleadingly, but he still leisurely played with her slender tail.
While toying with her tail, he also felt Meroune in front of him, biting the bedding silently, growing more and more tense and excited.
Actually, he didn't need any master-servant contract. Even if it was truly a slave contract, he wouldn't really treat them as slaves.
But he understood Mio's unease. Words alone weren't enough. It had to be proven with actions.
Since it was only a relationship-deepening contract, he might as well satisfy their idea, so they wouldn't keep overthinking.
Although the empathy bracelets and empathy collars almost everyone in the club had could produce similar effects, a master-servant contract infused with nightmare magic was indeed unique.
When the empathy function of the collar activated together with the curse of this contract, it would be double the pleasure.
"The contract is successfully formed! Just one last step."
After working for a long time, Naruse Maria finally completed the master-servant contract between Hachiman and Naruse Mio on the magic circle she had already drawn on the bed. Seeing the glowing magic array illuminating the room and the contract mark appearing on the back of his hand, she hurriedly urged Mio, who had just been watching.
"Next, Lady Mio, just kiss the mark on Master's hand!"
"Kiss the mark? Like this?"
Naruse Mio glanced shyly at the mermaid princess in front of her who had already soaked the bedding, quickly chose to ignore the scene, lowered her head, and gently kissed the contract mark on the back of his hand. Then she looked at Maria.
She hadn't felt anything special during the signing process.
Because Maria had always protected her and helped her escape so many pursuits, she had never doubted her. Even this time, after seriously thinking it over and tossing and turning for a long time, she finally agreed to Maria's suggestion.
But what she didn't know was that after she kissed the back of his hand, a circle of pink patterns appeared on her neck, with a heart-shaped mark in it.
She couldn't see the heart-shaped mark on her neck. She could only feel that she had successfully formed the master-servant contract with Hachiman.
The mark symbolizing the master appeared on his arm, while her servant mark appeared on her neck.
"Lady Mio, from now on you must listen to Master properly~ You can't make Master unhappy~"
Seeing everything settled, the previously cautious Naruse Maria gradually revealed a meaningful, arrogant smile.
But Naruse Mio was still immersed in the fact that she had become Hachiman's slave little sister and only nodded silently.
"Mm… I'll listen to Brother."
They were enjoying someone else's protection for free. Already having nothing to repay made her uneasy with guilt.
If she even thought of doing bad things to him, would she still be human?
"Still calling him Brother? You have to change it to Master~"
Maria immediately corrected her when she heard her.
"… "
Mio suddenly felt Maria's tone was a bit strange.
Didn't Maria know she would be embarrassed? How could she change so quickly?
"Meroune, it's about time to get up. Shion and the others should be making breakfast."
With the contract completed, Hachiman patted Meroune, who was lying on the bed, telling her to get up.
Originally, when he and Meroune returned to the room, they would have had enough time to fulfill her fantasy of an affair. But signing the contract had taken quite a while. If they continued now, they would miss breakfast again.
Normally missing breakfast didn't matter. But today Tohsaka Sakura and Rin were guests at home. He needed to go downstairs and eat breakfast with them.
"M-Master… don't… don't mind me… I'm going to… to the agency today…"
With her face buried in the bedding, pink hair covering her delicate pale side profile, Meroune answered weakly in a muffled voice.
Clearly she was the one being intimate with Master, yet he ignored her and chatted with other girls.
This feeling of being ignored… she felt like she was almost about to dehydrate and turn back into her mermaid form…
"Then rest for a while, Meroune. There's no rush with the idol agency."
Personally experiencing just how excited Meroune was, Hachiman could only shake his head helplessly. He lifted her sweat-soaked hair and kissed her cheek before getting up.
Of course he knew why she was going to the idol agency. As a mermaid princess, she didn't need to personally handle those matters even before awakening her bloodline, let alone now.
There was only one purpose in going to the idol agency: selecting pretty, pure idols for him to enjoy.
And then watching from the side.
Mm… Meroune's hobby… was really beyond saving.
"So impressive…"
Looking at Meroune, who had unknowingly drenched the bedding with fragrant sweat, Naruse Maria silently dipped her fingers in the moisture and wrote a few words on Meroune's thigh.
