“What’s wrong, my princess? You look troubled,” Tenraku, lifting Rias and sitting her in his lap, asked with a smile on his face.
“It’s because of the Occult Research Club. I’m considering whether to disband our department.” Rias sighed softly, explaining to Tenraku her dilemma.
As they entered the final semester of their third year, Rias, as the club president of the Occult Research Club, was supposed to pass on her role to her juniors. However, unlike Tenraku’s Kendo Club, their Occult Research Club was somewhat unique.
The Occult Research Club was less of a school club and more of a gathering and activity space created by Rias for herself and her Peerage.
Akeno, Xenovia, Irina, Asia, Koneko-chan, and Gasper— all the members of the department— were Rias’s Peerage.
The problem lay here. Rias, Akeno, Xenovia, Irina, and Asia were all in their third year. So, if they were to transfer the club president position, it would have to be between Koneko-chan and Gasper.
Gasper was out of the question; the poor boy had no talent for being a club president. While Koneko-chan had the ability and intelligence, her quiet and reserved nature made her an unsuitable candidate for the next club president.
Moreover, with just Gasper alone, they wouldn’t meet the minimum number of members to sustain the club.
At present, it seemed like the only option was to disband the club. But Rias had poured her heart and soul into the club, and it held many memories for her and her Peerage. Disbanding it would be hard for Rias to accept.
“I see.”
“Rias, why don’t you transfer the Occult Research Club to Ravel?”
Understanding the situation, Tenraku suggested after a moment of thought.
“Transfer it to Ravel?”
“Yes.”
“Ravel is a queen now too. She must have considered creating a club for herself and her Peerage. So, why not transfer your Occult Research Club to her? That way, Koneko-chan and Gasper can continue to stay here.”
“Afterwards, I’ll have Mira and Mittelt join the Occult Research Club. Then, when we enter university, it’ll be easier for Ravel and her group to act together.”
Upon hearing Tenraku’s suggestion, Rias’s eyes lit up, and Ravel beside her also seemed intrigued.
“What do you say, Ravel? Are you interested in taking over your Sister-In-Law’s club?” Tenraku beckoned to Ravel, asking.
“Well, if Sister-In-Law trusts me, then I’ll gladly take over the club,” Ravel replied.
“Ravel is the perfect candidate to take over my club.”
“Ravel, come over tomorrow after school. I’ll transfer all the necessary matters to you.”
“Okay, Sister-In-Law.”
In terms of both personality and ability, Ravel was the best choice to become the next club president of the Occult Research Club. Rias was very pleased and confident in her.
Now, there was no need to consider disbanding her club. Rias felt relieved and happy.
After spending some time in the activity room, Sona and Shinra Tsubaki arrived.
With everyone gathered, Tenraku and the girls wasted no time and activated the transmission formation, teleporting everyone back home…
### Evening:
“Tenraku Sama.”
“Come in.”
With Tenraku’s permission, Mihae and Tosca entered his room together.
Apart from Tenraku, Yubelluna, Ni, and Li were also present in the room.
Ni and Li lay on either side of Tenraku, their faces flushed with excitement, like two affectionate cats rubbing against him.
As for Yubelluna, she knelt before Tenraku, earnestly pleasing her master…
Though somewhat shy, Tosca and Mihae were accustomed to this scene. They had lost count of how many times they had seen it, even joining in themselves.
“Come here.”
Tenraku called out to the two girls, and Tosca and Mihae immediately approached him.
A radiant light flashed, and a jade jewel materialized in Tenraku’s hand.
“This is the Sacred Gear, Ladon’s Prison, made from Ladon’s soul. With it, you can harness Ladon’s power and various barrier techniques.”
“Mihae, I intend to share it with you. Make good use of its power from now on.”
Surprised by Tenraku’s decision to share such a powerful Sacred Gear with her, Mihae’s face lit up with joy. She bowed to Tenraku and respectfully replied:
“Yes, Tenraku Sama.”
Mihae didn’t express her gratitude in words. Everything she had belonged to the man before her. Instead of saying useless words, she would work even harder to serve Tenraku Sama in the future.
“Using Sacred Gear may cause some discomfort. Endure it.”
After reminding Mihae, Tenraku wasted no time and directly merged Ladon’s Prison into Mihae’s body.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
The stronger the Sacred Gear, the more painful the fusion process. Even though Mihae was prepared, she couldn’t help but scream in pain. Fortunately, the pain didn’t last long. Once the Sacred Gear fully integrated into Mihae’s body, the pain disappeared.
“Haa… Haa…”
Feeling dizzy, Mihae almost collapsed, but Tosca quickly supported her.
“Are you okay, Mihae?” Tosca asked worriedly after seeing Mihae in so much pain just now.
“I-I’m fine, I’m fine.” Though still a bit pale, Mihae managed to smile.
Compared to what she had gained, the pain she had just endured was nothing.
“Now, try out your newfound power.”
“Yes, Tenraku Sama.”
After resting for a moment, Mihae attempted to activate the abilities of her Sacred Gear within her body. A powerful aura emanated from her, and complex yet beautiful barriers unfolded between her hands.
Tosca looked on in amazement, and Tenraku nodded in satisfaction.
This Sacred Gear was indeed very suitable for Mihae. Once she fully absorbed Ladon’s power and mastered all the barrier techniques, Mihae’s strength would reach a terrifying level!
“Tenraku Sama…”
Now understanding the immense power her master had bestowed upon her, Mihae’s eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Tenraku.
“Mihae, continue to serve me even more diligently in the future.” Tenraku smiled as he spoke while caressing the girl’s cheek.
“Yes, Tenraku Sama.”
With boundless devotion, Mihae slowly bowed and, like Yubelluna, knelt before Tenraku.
Tenraku’s gaze then shifted to Tosca. With a blush on her face, Tosca also knelt down.
A satisfied smile played on his lips, and then Tenraku closed his eyes…
