The three of them finished talking.
But they didn't do anything inappropriate in the woods.
Instead, they headed straight back to the makeshift camp.
"Huh…?"
Haruno immediately noticed someone new—Kanae.
She was sure she hadn't seen her before.
"This is Kanae. She's my girlfriend... and also the spirit of my sword."
Nanashi introduced her seriously. Since Kanae was his, calling her just a sword spirit felt disrespectful—he had to show her proper regard.
"…"
Girlfriend and sword spirit?
What kind of bizarre combination is that?
Haruno didn't even bother complaining anymore.
Well, since Kanae was part of Nanashi's circle and seemed gentle enough, she figured she should get along with her.
She walked up and naturally started a conversation.
Meanwhile, the unspoken keyword—girlfriend—triggered noticeable reactions.
Marin's tail began to wag.
Chika's elf ears twitched lightly.
"…"
Megumi sat quietly next to them, silently observing.
She had already drawn conclusions about Yukino and Haruno.
These two… needed more watching.
Yukino, meanwhile, used the survival points earned from slaying monsters to buy food.
As they ate, Nanashi filled everyone in on his latest plan.
Based on what he'd uncovered so far, this monster-infested planet hosted nearly twenty behemoths.
Each one stood roughly 100 meters tall.
And the king among them was none other than—Godzilla.
It was like something straight out of the actual Godzilla franchise.
But these colossal creatures were far too spread out.
So Nanashi had no intention of seeking them one by one.
At first, he considered making them self-destruct.
But that turned out to be far more trouble than it was worth—some wouldn't go down easily.
Sure, some could self-terminate, but it would take a while.
And there were even those with similar reincarnation abilities.
In the end, it was clear—he'd have to do the job himself.
So he decided to take a shortcut.
He took control of the planet and ordered the monsters to crawl their way over.
Wipe them all out in one sweep. Earn a massive haul of points.
A partial skeleton lizard had fetched 10,000 points.
A fully matured behemoth? Several times that.
With over a dozen on the map… that could easily mean millions of points.
Still, the waiting days shouldn't be idle.
More importantly, Yukino and the others needed to earn points on their own.
Especially Haruno, who currently had no combat abilities at all.
Dinner was simple.
Afterward, everyone went into their tents to rest.
One tent per person.
Kanae, being a unique sword spirit, naturally shared a tent with Nanashi.
With Nanashi around, there was no need to worry about danger, bugs, or even night noises.
They could all sleep soundly.
But of course, a new environment isn't always conducive to sleep.
Some people just lay there with open eyes.
Some rolled restlessly in their sleeping bags.
Rustle.
There was movement in the dark.
After a long time spent lying and thinking, Yukino quietly made a decision.
She slowly unzipped her tent and stepped out into the night.
Wrapped in moonlight, she tiptoed across camp and slipped into another tent.
Kanae, upon seeing who entered, gave a knowing glance—and gently disappeared from Nanashi's arms.
"Yukino? What are you doing here?" Nanashi asked curiously.
"…"
Yukino stood in silence for a moment.
Then she softly muttered, "Do you… want to finish what we couldn't before?"
Her voice was so quiet even she might not have heard herself.
But Nanashi did.
And he instantly understood what she meant.
Back in Yukino's apartment, Haruno had interrupted them.
They had just started… and neither had even reached the finish line.
Yukino's boldness both startled and thrilled him.
"Of course," he replied gently.
It was a quiet, moonless night.
Inside the tent…
Eyes widened.
Ears listened.
Some even used their hands…
At dawn.
Three people exited their tents early.
Marin, Chika, and Haruno all wore dark circles under their eyes.
They exchanged awkward glances.
Megumi also emerged, glanced at them nonchalantly, then buried herself in morning chores.
Nanashi had conjured everyone's toiletries in advance.
The trio continued sneaking peeks at that tent.
"Haaah…"
Nanashi finally came out, stretching lazily.
He'd gotten a good rest.
Three pairs of eyes immediately darted to the tent behind him.
And from behind them…
"Good morning, Yukino."
"Good morning, Megumi."
Yukino walked out of Nanashi's tent, smiling.
Megumi greeted her casually, and Yukino returned it with calm composure.
Thanks to Nanashi's tweaks, Megumi's normally invisible presence was now detectable by everyone.
She didn't mind being unnoticed.
But Nanashi didn't want her fading in front of his people.
Eventually, he planned to let her fully control how visible she wanted to be.
Her breath-concealing skill would remain unaffected.
"!!!"
Hearing Yukino's voice, the three girls whipped around.
There she was—Yukino, walking out of Nanashi's tent, radiant and well-rested.
Not a hint of exhaustion or embarrassment on her face.
Marin blinked.
Did I imagine all that noise last night?
Chika's gaze bounced back and forth between Yukino and Nanashi.
The two in question looked calm as ever.
"…"
Haruno, however, knew what she heard.
There was no way that sound all night long had been a dream!
She couldn't help but wonder—had Yukino's ability in bed also improved?
She used to be completely no match for Nanashi.
Yet somehow, Yukino had managed to last the entire night.
Now, she looked even more energetic than usual.
Walking without a limp?
Completely composed?
This isn't scientific at all!
Haruno knew she herself wouldn't have been able to handle it.
Could it be that Yukino's just... too used to this?
No way. Impossible!
Of course, Yukino had already noticed the stares from the other three.
Yet she remained calm and poised—no blushing, no signs of panic or shame.
In fact, she was actively cooling herself from within using her own abilities to maintain that composed appearance.
Even she had trouble describing the boldness and madness last night.
She absolutely couldn't endure it all.
After all, the last time... they'd only gotten halfway.
It had been her first time, like simulating a "Sims" event.
Though this wasn't her first time per se, the real experience felt vastly different from the simulated one—like comparing a hangover to actual drunkenness.
The pain of tearing, mixed with waves of overwhelming pleasure.
Even now, recalling it made her body react unconsciously.
Thankfully, Nanashi had used his primordial energy to fully restore her body and mind.
That, more than anything, was the reason Yukino could now walk around like nothing had happened.
Nanashi, stretching lazily as he exited the tent, caught sight of the others.
"Huh? Marin, Chika, Haru—what's wrong with your hands?" he asked, noticing all three girls rubbing their right fingers absentmindedly.
"Uhh… just a little sore," Chika replied, scratching the back of her head with an awkward smile, then quickly hid her hands behind her back.
Marin and Haruno echoed her excuse.
"Do you want me to heal them for you?"
"No, no, no!" they answered in unison, shaking their heads almost violently.
They had seven full days in this place, with no time passing in the real world.
Nanashi decided it was the perfect chance to begin special training.
Opportunities like this were rare in reality. Here, he could turn this jungle into a live training ground.
He used his planetary control to summon nearby monsters—not the massive ones, just the smaller threats—specifically for combat practice. The goal was to strengthen everyone's fighting capabilities.
But before training could begin, there was something else to address.
"Yukino, Haruno," Nanashi said, "Make a wish to me."
"Mm," they both nodded, understanding instantly.
Like with Megumi before, Nanashi sensed their feelings—one warm and passionate, the other cool and calm, but equally devoted.
Faith given. Angels made.
Two more Angels of Redemption were born.
"This…"
Chika stood frozen in disbelief.
Wait—Haruno is Yukino's big sister, right?!
Why is she suddenly in love with Nanashi too?!
Still, even Haruno accepted it without protest. It seemed unspoken truths were easier to accept in this world.
"I feel like my whole body is overflowing with strength!" Haruno exclaimed, testing her wings and soaring effortlessly into the air.
Like something out of a light novel! I could punch through a wall right now!
Yukino, too, marveled at the feeling—gliding through the sky, testing her new powers.
Her wings stirred not even the slightest breeze.
Nanashi nodded in satisfaction.
Their physical capabilities were now boosted to the equivalent of Physical Enhancement Level Lv4—the peak of what he could provide.
Yukino had both that and her Lv4-level ice ability. Her power level had jumped significantly.
Now all eyes turned to Chika.
"!!!"
It suddenly dawned on her—She's the only one who hadn't done it!
Nanashi smiled gently. "Chika, want to give it a try?"
"U-uh... okay..." she stammered, closing her eyes nervously.
She began to reflect.
Did she like Nanashi?
Their first meeting had sparked curiosity, especially because of her best friend Kaguya's odd behavior.
The second time, she'd been dragged into the Doomsday Game.
Her naked body had been seen more times than she could count.
He teased and bullied her relentlessly.
Even in the student council... he was so mean to her.
How could I possibly like someone like that?!
"Hm?" Nanashi tilted his head.
Wait... she actually does like me?!
But now that he thought about it—had he ever not bullied her?
Have I ever genuinely cared for her...?
...Maybe Chika was a masochist.
And just like that—
In a flurry of divine light—
Chika became an Angel of Salvation!
"Whaaaa?!" she screamed, flustered beyond belief.
How?! Why?! There's no way I like this guy!
As her form settled back to normal, she stood there, shell-shocked.
My brain is going to explode!
"Chika," Nanashi said gently, "I can feel it."
"Gaaah! Shut up! Let's just start the training already!" she shrieked, trying to cover her ears.
And so, special training began.
Their instructor?
None other than Kanae.
Her method was simple: finish your session, and you earn a conversation with her—plus a small "labor fee."
By Day 4 the jungle had swarmed with hundreds of monsters.
They were all intentionally weak—perfect practice dummies for the Angels of Redemption and the Apostle of Sin.
For the first four days, the training focused purely on hand-to-hand combat.
Fist and foot strikes.
Mastering the Rokushiki (Six Styles) and learning the basics of Haki.
Thanks to their enhanced physiques, the girls picked it up easily.
And with the recovery boost from Nanashi's primordial energy, they could train almost non-stop.
Four days of brutal, focused training...
By the end of it, everyone had reached a combat level equivalent to Lv3.
There was no clear reason to doubt it.
The transformation into Angels of Redemption and Apostles of Sin had likely enhanced their learning capabilities significantly.
Their cultivation speed, however, was still lacking by comparison.
Nanashi didn't dedicate himself to practice; he only squeezed in a few minutes a day from his packed schedule. And yet, his Armament Haki had already reached level Lv4.
The others, by contrast, trained with everything they had.
Kanae enforced her training regime with relentless strictness—rigorous, ruthless, serious, and sincere to the core.
Anyone who dared slack off?
She'd instantly dominate them and force them into extremely humiliating positions.
Nanashi observed all this with great interest—and even occasionally tempted them into laziness, just to see what would happen.
The one who suffered most under this setup was, unsurprisingly, Chika.
And the one who benefited most?
Kanae.
Truly—Kanae is the eternal god!
