The Lord's work is as messed up as ever.

Yeah?

Mother said not to do it. And if she ignores that and is forced to put in my Lord's I can't blame her for it.

　Yoko gives Hurt a dumbfounded look while supporting Kikiyo, who is groggy while her body twitches and trembles.

''Uh, are you okay?''

I couldn't stay awake for half a day when my master stuffed me full of magic. Well, since Mother was much better at controlling magic than me, she would be able to control what the Lord put in me.

　They have to let her rest for at least a few minutes.

'Well, I'll leave Yoko's mother to her then. She's looking better, at least. Elmia and Seira called me, so I'm going to go pick up the girls.

You understand.

　Harut transferred to Elmia and Seira.


　─ ─ ─ ∗∗ ──.

　A few minutes later, Hurt returned with Seira and Elmia.

　Seira and Hermia froze at the sight of the blackened and charred dragon behemoth.


''My Lord, you are welcome back,''

I'm home. You're Yoko's mother, right?

　There was a woman next to Yoko, facing Hurt and bowing to him.

'Yes. I am Kikuyo, Yoko's mother. Thank you for reviving and recovering my mistress (Warawa).

　I can't help but fall in love with the enthralling voice.

　Kikyou raises her head, staring at Hurt, her hair hanging down in front of her face and over her ears.

　Each of his gestures are elegant and beautiful.

''No, my wife asked me to do this for you.

My daughter tells me. Aren't you afraid that you know she's a nine-tailed fox and you're not?

Hmm, I'm not scared. Yoko's been a good girl since I first knew her.

　When he entered the classroom at the Academy of Magic, Yoko was the first person to talk to Hurt after Rifa.

　At the time, Halt had made many good friends at the school and wanted to invite them to the mansion, which was a bit lonely for him and Tina to spend time together.

　Halt easily recognized Yoko as a 'good guy', as she spoke to him even when they met for the first time.

　That didn't change even if he knew that Yoko was a nine-tailed fox. One of the reasons is that Hurt didn't really recognize the danger of the nine-tailed fox in the first place.


''I see.......she's an incompetent girl, but please take good care of her.

Yes, sir. I swear to you, I'll make you happy.
"Oh, Lord!

　Yoko happily hugged Hurt.

'My concubine is happy to see her daughter's face like that.........Then I'll take it. If you need my concubine's help, please call me whenever you need it. I will certainly repay you for this favor.

Don't you want to be with us, Mother?

"I am the nine-tailed fox in full form. If people find out that she exists, they will come to kill her. That's why I can't stay with you, Yoko.

　Kikyou looks at Yoko with a sad expression.

"Please do not go to the battlefield. If you absorb the magic power containing negative emotions there, you won't be able to stay close to Harut-sama, either──

I am the nine-tailed perfectionist!

...What?

I am filled with the magic of my Lord and White. That is why I will not run amok as my mother fears. Besides, even if the humans come to kill us, the Lord will surely protect us!

　When Yoko looked back at Hurt, he smiled and nodded in affirmation of Yoko's words.

'I wish to live with my mother.

"Yoko says so, and there's plenty of room in my house. If it's okay with you, Kyou-san...
''Kikyou, that's fine. Since you are not yet fully as powerful as you were in your prime, it is a very tempting proposition for you to be sheltered.

　The nine-tailed fox is a demon race that mainly uses magic to hide its existence and brainwashing magic until it becomes a complete body, and sometimes it grows by taking in humans.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. But...

　Kikyou leans back against Hurt and places a hand on his shoulder.

'Do not tempt your mistress too much. You love your daughter, don't you?　If you're in the mood, you'll forget about your daughter and become her prisoner.

　The lustre overflows from her and clings to Hurt.

　It's the serious enchantment magic of the nine-tailed fox, which has become an adult and then a complete body. Once the subject is affected by this, he or she becomes enamored with Kikyou and does her bidding.

　Of course, it's not like Kikyou was seriously trying to corrupt Hurt.

　I was going to warn the demon tribe to be on their guard just a little bit, but...

I'll never forget Yoko. She's my precious, one of my wives.
What?　Why?

　Kikiou was surprised when Hurt responded so naturally that it seemed as if the charm magic was a dud.

''Mother, my Lord, enchantment magic doesn't work on you. And of course, all the hypnosis and brainwashing.

What? Oh, no...

"You are such a monster that not even the mesmerizing magic of our nine-tailed foxes works, and even my master-slave seal is unilaterally revoked. That's why you're the safest person in the world to be with your Lord!

　The reason why the charm magic doesn't work and the reason why the mark of the master-slave contract could be broken is because Halt's status is fixed by the curse.

　With that, there is no way for Halt to be controlled by anyone.


　The large amount of pure magic power sent by Halt just now. Then again, Kikyou understood that Halt was quite strong.

　Also, she was a full-bodied nine-tailed fox, but she was not in a state of full recovery, so the suggestion of huddling under a strong man (Hurt) moved her heart.

　Kikyou had one concern.

　What if she really loved this Harto man...

　Even if her charms don't work, she's mastered the art of corrupting men.

　It's a s*xual technique, and every little gesture. She was well versed in the technique of pleasuring a man.

　Also, I don't think her beauty is inferior to that of her daughter.

　If I, myself, really tried to get Hurt to love me, my beloved daughter might be saddened.

　That's what I was thinking about, but...

Master Hurt. May I stay with you in your house?

　Kikyou decided to stay close to Hurt.

　The pleasure that had just hit her earlier, a pleasure she had never experienced before - if she was with him, she might be able to experience that thing again.

　Kikyou took the pleasure of womanhood over the happiness of his beloved daughter.

　Hurt doesn't know such a thing.

'Yes, that's fine. Welcome to the Elnor family, Kikyou.

Nice to meet you. Mr. Hurt.

　Kikyou moved away from Hurt and moved to Yoko's side, bringing his mouth close to her ear.

'Yoko, please try your best not to let your mistress steal him.

"Ha, mother, what!

　It was a declaration of war from Kikyou to Yohko.


　But Kikiou still doesn't know that he's not the only one.

　That Yohko wasn't the only one who would be a rival.

　There are ten other beautiful women and beautiful girls beside Hurt.

　No matter how much she tries to attract Hurt, she will spend her days agonizing over being treated as Hurt's twelfth woman and being treated as an equal to the ten wives except for Tina...

　Kikyou hadn't thought of that.
