At this moment, Abel stood on the rooftop. Everything that had just happened was carried to him by the wind.
He came to the entrance and waited for Saeko to arrive. Soon, he saw Saeko carrying Alice on her back.
Abel walked over and took the girl, smiling. "You've worked hard, Saeko."
Abel held Alice, with Saeko following behind, and the three of them arrived in the living room.
In the kitchen, Rei and Saya, dressed in light clothing, were preparing dinner. It seemed they had just finished showering. Rei was wearing a nude apron, while Saya was wearing a small vest and shorts.
Good figures.
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 would kick them out even without Abel saying a word.
For them, the safest place in the world was this team.
Saeko, who could unleash flying slashes, and Shizuka, who could use magic, as well as Abel, whose strength was unknown.
The two of them only paused for a moment when they saw the child Abel was holding, but they didn't ask further.
Rei spoke up at this moment, "Busujima-senpai, 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 nodded in satisfaction.
It was enough if they could help with logistics. Whether they could truly become 'their own people' depended on their performance and master's will.
If they succeeded, they were 'their own people'. If not...
Saeko looked at the two women with good figures and nodded.
If they didn't succeed, helping master alleviate his worries was also a good option.
Abel placed the sleeping Alice on the sofa.
He turned and asked the two, "Where's Shizuka?"
Rei and Saya paused, then reacted, pointing upstairs.
"She is upstairs."
Abel nodded, then went upstairs.
Saeko, on her way to the bathroom, said to the two, "Thank you for your hard work."
Hearing Saeko'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, Abel 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, wrapped in a bath towel, sitting cross-legged on the floor, with many beer cans beside her.
Seeing Abel arrive, Shizuka 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 Abel's lil bro rose.
Abel stepped forward to support Shizuka, then picked her up and walked towards the room, while Shizuka tightly hugged his neck. She even rubbed against his 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 Lucretia is another.
Abel 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, Abel walked in. The cabinet in front of him was Rika's private weapon cabinet, containing a crossbow and several guns.
Looking at the lock on it, Abel gently tugged and the lock came off.
Looking at the firearms lying there, Abel put them into the Kamui Dimension. They could be used when there were more people.
Downstairs, Rei and Saya had already prepared dinner, and were waiting for Abel and the others.
Abel went downstairs and saw the dining table was already filled with a sumptuous dinner.
Alice had woken up at some point and was sitting in her chair, neither crying nor making a fuss, while Saeko, who had finished washing up, was taking care of her.
"Master, where's 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 was young, she ate very seriously, occasionally looking around at the people with curiosity.
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, they suddenly heard a dog barking outside.
Alice's eyes lit up. She got up and went to the door, with Saeko following her.
They saw a small dog barking at the door. When it saw Alice, it stopped barking and wagged its tail rapidly.
"Zeke."
Hearing the call, Zeke ran over, and Alice hugged him. She didn't expect him to follow them.
(Note: This is a little different from the cannon.)
"Busujima-nee, can I bring Zeke 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. Everyone also added a portion for it.
After dinner, Saya began to clear the table.
After Zeke ate his fill, he obediently lay down at Alice's feet.
Abel, meanwhile, went to the bathroom to take a shower. He stood under the showerhead, and the water flowed over his body.
At this moment, the door opened, and Saeko walked in.
"Saeko?"
"Master, I'm here to help you."
Saeko walked to his side, reached for the sponge, dipped it in shower gel, and scrubbed Abel's back.
Looking at the man in front of her, who had given her strength and accepted her true self, Saeko's eyes were filled with love and tenderness.
At this moment, she put down the sponge in her hand, untied her restraints and hugged Abel from behind.
Abel felt the soft contact against his back and raised an eyebrow.
What a bold Saeko.
"Master, I will become your strongest Devil."
Hearing her words, Abel smiled. "To become my strongest Devil, you'll have to work hard. My other Peerage members are very strong, you know."
"The women of the Busujima family will not retreat. Master, do you feel my determination?"
Abel smiled. "I think I can feel it more deeply."
