Ye Xiao held Alice Hillyeard, with Saeko Busujima following behind, and the three of them arrived in the living room.
In the kitchen, Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi, dressed in light clothing, were preparing dinner.
It seemed they had just finished showering.
Saeko Busujima's nude apron had been replaced by Rei Miyamoto's, while Saya Takagi was wearing a small vest and shorts.
Good figures.
This was Ye Xiao's assessment.
Moreover, the two of them already knew their roles.
To be part of the logistics team.
If they couldn't help with combat, then all they could do was handle logistics, at least to be useful within this small team.
They couldn't just be freeloaders.
After all, if they truly were freeloaders, Saeko Busujima would kick them out even without Ye Xiao saying a word.
For them, the safest place in the world was this team.
Senior Busujima, who could unleash sword energy, and School Nurse Marikawa, who could use magic, as well as Ye Xiao, whose strength was unknown.
The two of them only paused for a moment when they saw the child Ye Xiao was holding, but they didn't ask further; they weren't his anything, after all.
Rei Miyamoto spoke up at this moment.
"Senior Busujima, dinner will take a while longer. You can go take a shower now; there's still hot water in the bathroom."
"Alright, thank you for your hard work."
Saeko Busujima nodded in satisfaction; she was very pleased with the two of them.
It was enough if they could help with logistics.
Whether they could truly become 'their own people' depended on their performance and the master's will.
If they succeeded, they were 'their own people'; if not...
Saeko Busujima looked at the two women with good figures and nodded.
If they didn't succeed, helping the master alleviate his worries was also a good option.
Ye Xiao placed the sleeping Alice Hillyeard on the sofa.
When he returned, Ye Xiao had cleaned the girl using magic.
Ye Xiao turned and asked the two, "Where's Shizuka?"
Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi paused, then reacted, pointing upstairs.
"School Nurse Marikawa is upstairs."
Ye Xiao nodded, then went upstairs.
Saeko Busujima, on her way to the bathroom, softly said to the two, "Thank you for your hard work."
Hearing Saeko Busujima's words, the two were full of motivation, so the next step was to prepare dinner as soon as possible!
Second floor.
As soon as he went up the stairs, he saw beer cans dropped on the floor.
He didn't even need to look to know that this was what that cow drank.
Following the direction the beer cans rolled.
He saw Shizuka Marikawa, wrapped in a bath towel, sitting cross-legged on the floor, with many beer cans beside her.
He didn't even need to look to know she was drunk.
This was a view he shouldn't have seen; everything that should have been seen, he saw.
What a divine beast.
Seeing Ye Xiao arrive, Shizuka Marikawa swayed over, giggling.
"One master, two masters, so many masters."
Saying that, she spread her arms for a hug.
At this moment, the bath towel on her body fell off, and as for the scene, only Ye Xiao's 'second brother' saluted.
Ye Xiao was helpless, he stepped forward to support Shizuka Marikawa, then directly picked her up and walked towards the room, while Shizuka Marikawa tightly hugged Ye Xiao's neck.
She even rubbed against Ye Xiao's face, then kissed him.
"Hehe~ Master~"
Then she passed out and fell asleep.
Alright, another one who can't drink.
It seems there are many people in his house who can't drink, right?
Grayfia is one, Erica is one, and Lucrezia is another.
Ye Xiao carried her to the room, then placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and closed the door.
As he passed by a room, Ye Xiao walked in.
Looking at the cabinet in front of him, this was Nan Rika's private weapon cabinet, containing a crossbow and several guns.
Looking at the lock on it, Ye Xiao gently tugged.
The lock directly came off.
Looking at the firearms and powerful crossbows lying quietly there, Ye Xiao put them into Kamui Space.
As for when they would be put to use.
They could be used when there were more people.
Downstairs, Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi had already prepared dinner, and the two were waiting for Ye Xiao and the others; they could start eating at any time.
Ye Xiao went downstairs and saw the dining table was already filled with a sumptuous dinner.
Alice Hillyeard had woken up at some point and was sitting obediently in her chair, neither crying nor making a fuss, while Saeko Busujima, who had finished washing up, was taking care of her.
"Master, where's Sister Shizuka?"
"She drank too much and fell asleep. Just leave a portion of food for her; she can eat it after warming it up when she wakes up."
"Mm."
Everyone gathered around the dining table and began to eat. Although Alice Hillyeard was young, she ate very seriously, occasionally looking around at the people with curiosity.
Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi couldn't help but tease Alice Hillyeard a few times, seeing her cute appearance.
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, they suddenly heard a dog barking outside.
Hearing the dog bark, Alice Hillyeard's eyes lit up.
She got up and went to the door, and Saeko Busujima followed her.
They saw a small dog barking at the door.
When it saw Alice Hillyeard, it stopped barking and wagged its tail rapidly.
"Gick."
Hearing the call, Gick ran over, and Alice Hillyeard hugged him.
This was her little dog.
She didn't expect this little dog to follow them.
"Sister Busujima, can I bring Gick inside?"
"Of course, but we need to give this little guy a bath first."
"Mm."
The two brought the puppy into the house and gave it a bath, discovering it was a very clean little white dog.
Everyone also added a portion for it.
After dinner, Saya Takagi began to clear the table. After Gick ate his fill, he obediently lay down at Alice Hillyeard's feet.
Ye Xiao, meanwhile, went to the bathroom to take a shower.
He took off his clothes, revealing his perfect physique.
He stood under the showerhead, and the gentle water flowed over his body.
He felt very comfortable at this moment.
At this moment, the door opened, and Saeko Busujima walked in.
"Sayaeko?"
"Master, I'm here to help you."
Ye Xiao did not refuse.
Saeko Busujima slowly walked to his side, reached for the bath ball, dipped it in shower gel, and gently scrubbed Ye Xiao's back.
Fine foam diffused between them, and her movements were gentle and skillful.
Looking at the man in front of her, her master.
He had given her strength and accepted her true self.
He even allowed her to unleash her true nature.
All of this was bestowed upon her by the person in front of her.
Saeko Busujima's eyes were filled with love and tenderness.
At this moment, Saeko Busujima put down the bath ball in her hand and untied her own restraints.
She hugged Ye Xiao from behind.
Ye Xiao felt the soft, zero-distance contact against his back and raised an eyebrow.
What a bold Sayaeko.
"Master, I will become your strongest Devil Princess."
Hearing her words, Ye Xiao smiled.
"To become my strongest Devil Princess, you'll have to work hard. My other dependents are also very strong, you know~"
"The women of the Busujima family will not retreat, my proud master. Do you feel my determination?"
Ye Xiao smiled. Good fortune, tonight's the night for some meat.
"I think I can feel it more deeply."
...
(Wow, this is really a headache to write.)
