After testing Shiina Mahiru's abilities, he had Saeko take her to grind some experience.
Afterward.
Shiina Mahiru had no intention of returning.
That kind of home, where she was all alone, had nothing worth going back to.
Her eyes were serious as she said, "Since I've become Lynn's dependent, then of course I must take on the responsibility of caring for Lynn!"
"So, housework, cooking, everything, just leave it all to me!"
Shiina Mahiru rolled up her sleeves, full of vigor.
Ah… such strong feminine charm…
Utaha and Yotsuya Miko's expressions were subtle.
Yotsuya Miko began to reflect on herself.
It seemed she hadn't really taken care of her master much...
That's it, when she gets back, she'll ask her mother to teach her how to cook!
As for Utaha, she had taken care of Lynn for a while when they lived together before.
But she hadn't taken good care of him at all.
Lynn even completely deprived her of the right to enter the kitchen.
Thinking of these unpleasant memories, Shiwa felt dejected and deflated.
...
"Saeko, let's start upgrading."
"Yes, Master."
Saeko Busujima took off her clothes, lay on the bed, and waited for Lynn to upgrade her.
He dripped blood on Saeko Busujima's back, and the Grace appeared.
Saeko Busujima
Inferior Demon

Strength: sss1378
Agility; ss1096
Durability: ss1035
Magic Power: ss1028
Inherent Skills:
Killing Aspiration (brief)
Devil of the Sword (brief)
The changes in the stats were almost set; no matter how much effort was put in, there probably wouldn't be any more fluctuations.
Lynn praised, "Not bad, to be able to achieve this level is already very good."
It was more than just good.
Except for Saeko, no one else in the Familia could achieve this level.
Moreover, the speed of growth was incomparable.
Killing Aspiration is truly useful.
"Hmm~"
Saeko Busujima let out a soft hum.
Her emotions fluctuated.
Just a single compliment from Lynn was enough to make her happy for a long time.
"Alright, next is the upgrade."
Lynn's eyes narrowed, and he placed his hand on her smooth back.
This was also his first time upgrading a Familia member, and he didn't know what would happen.
'Level Ascension!'
Lynn silently chanted in his heart.
On the panel, the skill demon chess piece immediately lit up.
A faint light also appeared on Saeko Busujima's back at the same time.
Buzz—
The light lasted for a while before gradually fading, revealing the Grace on her back that had already been upgraded.

Development Abilities?
Lynn was surprised.
He didn't expect that after his Grace System upgraded, it would also have Development Abilities.
Her level also increased to Middle-Level Demon.
And...
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
Devil of the Sword also had subtle changes.
Blade Equipping?
Temporarily suppressing that thought, Lynn had more important matters.
Because of this Level Ascension.
Not only did Saeko upgrade.
As her master, the moment he received the feedback from Saeko's upgrade, his own level also broke through from Upper-Level Demon to High-Class Devil.
The system's notification sounds also kept ringing.
Ding! Your Familia member 'Saeko Busujima' has increased her level to Middle-Level Demon!
Ding! Your strength has increased!
Ding! Your level has broken through!
Ding! Your skill 'demon chess pieces' has undergone a slight change!
Lynn stared at the last system prompt, frowning.
demon chess piece was his core skill, and he didn't know if this change was good or bad.
He opened the panel to check.
Lynn Valefor
Race: Demon
Level: High-Class Devil
Authority: None
Familia: Utaha, Yotsuya Miko, Saeko Busujima, Shizuka, Shiina Mahiru
Skills: 'demon chess pieces', 'Demon Contract', 'Magic Power Release', 'Secretary Demon', Psychic Demon, 'Devil of the Sword', 'Recovery Demon', 'Fallen Angel Demon'
His level had indeed changed.
Upper-Level Demon became High-Class Devil.
The accumulation of five Familia members, coupled with Saeko's upgrade, finally led to another change in his strength.
In less than a month, he had gained two levels.
If others knew about this, they would be incredibly envious of him.
Especially someone like Rias, whose strength had been stuck at Upper-Level Demon for quite some time.
The breakthrough in strength made Lynn happy.
But the most important thing was still the change in the demon chess piece skill.
With a thought, he clicked on demon chess piece to view it.
In an instant, Lynn seemed to enter a boundless starry sky.
His eyes widened, somewhat bewildered.
"This is..."
He stroked his chin, observing carefully.
"There are five chess pieces, revolving around me?"
Lynn frowned, wondering, "So, what does this mean?"
The five chess pieces should correspond to Shiwa and the others.
He, as the master of the Familia, was the core, so he was surrounded in the center?
So...
This starry sky represented his Familia?
...
"After all that, it just added a visual?"
