After another wild escapade with Venelana, Tenraku returned home with Ophis.
“Ophis, it’s time for you to go to sleep too. Remember not to tell anyone about tonight’s events.” Tenraku gently ruffled Ophis’s head as he spoke.
“This mistress knows.” Ophis nodded, then vanished in an instant while Tenraku returned to his own room.
Rias, Akeno, and Yubelluna were still asleep, just as they were when Tenraku left. When he lay back down among the girls, Rias, in a drowsy state, opened her eyes.
“Tenraku, where did you go?”
“It’s nothing, just went out for a walk.” Tenraku stroked Rias’s cheek, his eyes filled with boundless tenderness.
Rias, a beautiful and proud princess, had been raised in the care of her family. She loved her parents and was attached to her older brother and sister-in-law. Everything in her life was so happy and beautiful. However, if she were to learn the truth, it would be a kind of cruelty she couldn’t fathom.
“Rias, I will cherish and protect you forever…”
“W-Why are you suddenly saying this, Tenraku?” Feeling Tenraku’s intense affection, Rias’s cheeks turned slightly red, but her heart felt incredibly sweet.
With a faint smile, Tenraku didn’t offer any explanation. Instead, he silenced Rias with a kiss and pressed her beneath him.
“No… no… you’ll wake up Akeno and the others…”
“Ah!”
Unable to suppress her moans, Rias’s voice indeed woke up both Akeno and Yubelluna. As a result, the groggy Akeno and Yubelluna were drawn into the mix…
…
“Okaa-Sama, can’t you stay here?” In the hall, Kunou held her mother’s hand, reluctant to part.
“There’s still a lot of work in our territory that needs to be dealt with. I can’t stay any longer.” The Princess Yasaka lovingly caressed her daughter’s forehead and shook her head.
Princess Yasaka truly loved it here, but as the leader of Kyoto Yōkai, she had responsibilities and obligations she couldn’t ignore. “Princess, come over after you’ve finished dealing with the affairs in your territory. We will always welcome you here,” Tenraku said, understanding.
“Yes, husband.” Yasaka’s face also showed a gentle smile. She bid farewell to everyone at home and walked into the transmission formation under their watchful gazes.
“Now, little fox, your Okaa-Sama will come back. Don’t be sad anymore. Later, I’ll give you the cherished bracelet I’ve kept.”
“Re-Really, Ravel-Chan?”
“Hmph, you’ve wanted it for a long time, haven’t you? This time, I’ll let you have it. Treasure it well for me.”
“Yes, I definitely will!”
After Princess Yasaka left, Tenraku and the girls continued their daily routine as usual. However, due to the matter of the Holy Bible God, Tenraku began to feel a sense of crisis.
He didn’t want to lose his current life, nor did he want the girls around him to be harmed. Therefore, he had to become stronger and stronger. For the current Tenraku, there were two ways to rapidly increase his strength: one was to seize powerful Sacred Gears, and the other was to recruit a large number of believers…
…
After finishing up matters in the church, Griselda returned to her room. However, when she found someone in her room, Griselda was first startled, but then her surprise turned into a thick expression of joy.
“Holy Lord-Sama!”
Seeing Tenraku, who was in a passionate embrace with his familiar Undine Queen, Griselda greeted him with a bow and then headed towards her own bedroom.
“Come in,” Tenraku beckoned.
Knowing what was about to happen, Griselda felt her body warming up. She followed him, a mixture of compliance and anticipation in her eyes.
The holy nun had fallen, and the beautiful Queen echoed with delight. The room was a mess. After a long while, Griselda and Undine were left weak, leaning against Tenraku’s embrace.
“Griselda, how did you handle your task?” Tenraku asked, savoring the lingering pleasure.
“Holy Lord-Sama, all the nuns in this church have become your most faithful believers…” Griselda replied, still entranced by the unparalleled favor bestowed upon her by her Holy Lord-sama.
Hearing Griselda’s response, Tenraku nodded in satisfaction. The “Seeds of Belief” not only could Tenraku use them, but he could also implant them in others’ bodies, allowing them to act on his behalf.
Before leaving, Tenraku had left dozens of “Seeds of Belief” in Griselda’s body, with the intention of having her convert all the other nuns in the church into his believers.
While these nuns were devout believers, none of them had Griselda’s formidable will. Even Griselda herself had fallen and submitted, let alone them. Under Griselda’s influence, they all transformed into Tenraku’s believers without any resistance.
Initially, Tenraku had only intended to recruit a few followers from within the Church, without causing too much commotion. After all, he didn’t want to jeopardize the alliances forged with the major factions.
However, after learning about the Holy Bible God, Tenraku changed his mind. He decided to weaken the enemy’s forces without hesitation. So, he resolved to convert all the Saintesses in the Church, including those lofty Angels!
“Griselda, can you contact Gabriel?”
“Yes, Holy Lord-Sama.”
“Contact her immediately and lure her here.”
A wicked grin played on Tenraku’s lips as he gave Griselda the command. Gabriel was the only female Seraph among the Four Great Angels, renowned as the most beautiful woman in Heaven. She was also Griselda’s Lord. She was Tenraku’s first target to conquer within the Angelic Camp!
Understanding Tenraku’s intentions, Griselda considered Holy Lord-Sama’s will above all else. The fact that she could bring her beloved Gabriel-sama into the embrace of the Holy Lord-sama made her very happy. So, Griselda immediately used a special communication method to get in touch with Gabriel.
“Holy Lord-Sama, Gabriel-Sama is currently in Heaven. It will probably take her a little over an hour to get here.”
“Another hour… Then you better perform well during this time!”
With a smile on his face, Tenraku gently stroked Griselda’s cheek before pressing her head down…
