"Mahiru, Utaha, you can both level up now."
Shiina Mahiru nodded enthusiastically.
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced over, her expression complex. "Mahiru's stats… they're all maxed out?"
There was a hint of envy in her voice.
She herself only had magic at max, while all her other stats still had room to grow.
"Mahiru, have you been grinding way too hard lately?"
A junior in the familia catching up to a senior so fast? How was that even possible?
Mahiru lowered her head, a bit embarrassed. "I've been spending a lot of time in theBlack Bullet world recently."
Utaha looked incredulous. "And you still had time to take care of Master?"
After all, in the main world, Mahiru was the one handling all of Lynn's daily necessities—his food, clothing, and overall well-being.
Realizing this, the others shot Mahiru complicated looks.
Especially Yotsuya Miko.
She looked a bit awkward before sighing helplessly.
The cursed spirits she had encountered lately were just too weak. Spirit Devour wasn't giving her any satisfying results at all!
Which meant Mahiru had completely surpassed her in experience.
"I want a Grade 1 Curse!" she thought desperately.
On the other side, Lynn didn't waste time and immediately performed their level-ups.

Seeing Utaha's new skills and development abilities, Lynn suddenly asked, "How's your new novel doing lately?"
"Eh?" Utaha was caught off guard before her lips curled into a pleased smile. "It's selling like crazy!"
"The Devil Lady and Her Loyal Servant?"
"Yep, yep!" She nodded eagerly, looking quite proud of herself.
"I see..." Lynn rubbed his chin. "Mahiru, tomorrow, make sure to buy a copy for every member of the familia. We should support familia members' creative endeavors, after all."
"Understood," Mahiru said obediently, making a mental note.
Utaha's smile stiffened. "Uh… that's really not necessary…"
Lynn raised an eyebrow. "???"
Utaha let out a deep sigh.
Sure, the novel was doing well, but... It completely turned into a harem story!!
That wasn't even what she originally wanted to write!
Yet, it was selling ridiculously well.
To make matters worse, the main character—who was obviously modeled after herself—ended up as the ultimate loserheroine.
Unacceptable!!
Why did it have to turn out this way?!
Internally, she was losing her mind.
"Please… please don't read it!" she pleaded, looking absolutely pitiful.
Lynn smiled, patting her head reassuringly. "Don't worry."
Utaha sighed in relief.
'As expected of Master! He truly cares about me…'
"Every familia member will get three copies—one to keep, one to read, and one to recommend to others."
"...!!!"
He was a devil!
Now, there was no escaping it.
Everyone silently made the same realization: Guess we have no choice but to read it now…
After copying down Utaha's status updates, Lynn moved on to Mahiru's level-up.
A soft glow shimmered on Mahiru's back as her status evolved.

Seeing Mahiru's newly awakened skill, Lynn's gaze turned complicated.
"So I became an obsession…?"
After thinking for a moment, he pulled Mahiru into his embrace.
"Eh?" Mahiru blinked in surprise.
Lynn gently patted her head. "It's a reward~."
Mahiru's eyes widened, her heart pounding wildly.
She felt as if some hidden potential within her had just been unlocked in that instant.
She wanted it.
She wanted more rewards!
The other Familia members saw this scene and immediately started making a fuss.
"Hey, that's not fair! We want rewards too!"
If this continued, wouldn't Mahiru end up monopolizing all of their Master's attention?
Then, they saw Mahiru's newly awakened skill.
"Mahiru, you're so sneaky." Utaha narrowed her eyes.
Damn it!
She wanted a skill like that too!
What the hell was [Endless Inspiration] supposed to be?!
Meanwhile, Mahiru stared at her new blessing information, dazed.
What an amazing skill!
Now, she had a reason…
Mahiru's breathing grew a little heavier, joy flashing in her eyes.
Wouldn't this be a little unfair to the others in the Familia?
For a moment, she hesitated.
No! Mahiru, you're a bad girl!
Yep! It's fine.

After making sure that everyone in the Familia had finished collecting experience from the world of Black Bullet, Lynn systematically updated the blessings of all his Familia members in one go.
After receiving the feedback, he carefully assessed the Familia's current strength.
Two Ultimate-Class Devils, four High-Class Devils, and several Mid- and Low-Class Devils.
At this point, they could completely lead an invasion of another world.
And they'd earn merit for conquering a world!
Familia members could then use that merit to gain more experience, which would, in turn, benefit Lynn.
A perfect cycle!
A life of leisure was just within reach!

Evening— World of Black Bullet
As promised, Lynn arrived.
Clinging to him as always was the Inu-Yokai Senhime.
At the Familia's base, a group of little girls eagerly awaited his arrival.
The moment Lynn appeared, they all cheered!
"It's Lord Lynn!!"
"Lord Lynn finally came to see us!!"
With just a few words, the Devil lolis completely surrounded him.
His legs, his arms—every part of him was clung onto by these little devils.
Senhime poked her head out, looking utterly confused.
Then, she locked eyes with a pair of crimson-red pupils.
Tina Sprout puffed out her cheeks and glared at Senhime. "Tch! That's my spot!"
Senhime: "?"
Before she could even react, Tina had already leaped onto Lynn's neck, wrapping herself around him triumphantly, sending a smug look toward Senhime.
"Hah, brat."
Senhime rolled her eyes dramatically.
She was a mature adult! There was no way she'd stoop to a child's level!
That's what she told herself… but her tail twitched slightly, brushing against Tina's arm—completely by 'accident.'
In the next second—
Tina was sent flying a hundred meters away, looking completely dumbfounded.
"Hmph!"
Senhime smirked inwardly.
Brat, trying to compete with her for territory?
You're two hundred years too early!
But looking at the sea of little devil heads around her, Senhime had a strange expression.
So Lynn truly was the God of Lolis!
She made a mental note— In the future, her clan would dedicate lolis to his worship.
Lynn chuckled as he comforted the enthusiastic little devils.
Having survived as Cursed Children, these lolis were incredibly well-behaved, never annoying in the slightest.
At the very least, Lynn quite enjoyed their affection.
"Been a while, hasn't it, Kayo?"
Lynn placed a large hand on Senju Kayo's head and ruffled her hair.
Kayo looked up at him with her usual expressionless face.
But the warmth on her head made her heart leap with joy.
After a while, the Devil lolis finally dispersed.

At Night
Dinner was already served. But... it wasn't food.
Lynn glanced at the scene before him, his expression unreadable.
A certain someone had been restrained, hands tied behind her back, hips raised high.
His gaze shifted to Minami Rika. "…Did you make them do this?"
Rika shrugged. "I just gave them a little push."
Naoki Miki's face was bright red. "Why am I the one tied up?!"
Ebisuzawa Kurumi muttered beside her, "Miki, with your strength, you could easily break free, you know?"
Miki turned her head away, playing dead.
Kurumi scoffed, her expression one of complete understanding.
Takeya Yuki and Wakasa Yuuri had already buried their heads like ostriches.
But deep down, they were screaming.
Why…
Why did it turn out like this?!
Sakura Megumi's eyes darted around, unsure where to look. Her body fidgeted nervously.
Lynn raised a brow, sensing a challenge.
So, he decided to punish her.
"Eh?"
"EHHHHH?!"
Megumi's eyes widened in shock as she felt something she had never experienced before—something penetrating her from behind!
But she was tied, so she could only take it all.
"Ahhhhh~"
Soon, rhythmic sounds filled the room, attracting quite the audience.
Kurumi stared at Megumi intently, her eyes full of curiosity.
And then—She no longer needed to be curious.
Everyone was in this together.
Everyone was tied as their hips raised high, ready for their time.

Two days later
Lynn took two full days to feel satisfied, especially after Rika joined. It required a huge effort from him.
Then, he went to retrieve his pet.
The moment Senhime saw him, she bounced into his embrace.
She sniffed him, detecting the scents, her gaze turning resentful.
"So…"
"You came to another world… just to do this?"
"No."
Lynn glanced at his system panel, where the [Devil's Contract] notification flashed.
A small smirk appeared on his lips.
"Now, it's time to get to work."
