CHAPTER 11: Chat With Mio And Maria (II)

Thanks for reaching a thousand collections and an extra 1 chapter and a discord invite.

When I finished my sentence, Maria opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't find a sentence and closed it again.

"Look, you don't have to give your answer now, but the sooner the better. Because Mio is currently the hero clan's S-rank surveillance target. You can become a target for hunting at the slightest thing, and if you don't have an ally by your side, even though Maria is with you, are you sure that the two of you can really do anything against the hero clan or the ones who killed your family? Also, even an ally is better than nothing." I said.

"We understand but how can we trust you? We have just met a few hour ago." Maria said.

"I don't know, but do you have a tool or magic like a lie detector? I'm still a novice at that kind of stuff." I said.

"No but we have master-servant contract." Maria said.

"What is that? How is it work?" I asked.

" If I have to explain, the master-servant contract is a kind of magic that ties the souls of two people together, which also makes them aware of one another's locations." Maria said.

"Continue. I can understand that you are hiding something. I can see in your face." I said to Maria.

"Ugh... Aside from being able to tell one another's location, a curse would activate whenever the Servant either betray or feel guilt towards their master, and is shown by the varied colored collar that appears around their neck. Though the curse, which occurs varies based on whatever magical nature was used in order to form it. Another effect of the contract is that it increases the power of both the servant and the master as the servant's loyalty grows." Maria explained.

"I understand but who is going to be master and whose nature will we use?" I asked.

"Hmm... How about making Mio-sama a master?" Maria said while looking at me and Mio.

"Darling don't worry your race is too strong if they try to make you a servant then the spell will bounce and the person on the other side will become a servant." Astaroth said suddenly.

"It doesn't matter to me, but that doesn't interfere with my fights, does it? I also just asked but whose nature are we going to use?" I said.

"No it doesn't affect your fights but you're right, whose nature are we going to use? Mio-sama's is very chaotic." Maria said.

"My nature is very unpredictable. Because I'm an original vampire, the curse could be about drinking blood, or activating the incubus, worst case, both." I said.

"Then my nature will be used." Maria said.

"Maria-san what is your nature?" I asked to Maria.

"I'm a succubus. I think you can guess." Maria said.

"So, are there certain conditions for making this contract?" I asked.

"Yes, it has to be done on the full moon." Maria said.

"Then the full moon is 2 days from tomorrow. Until then, how about you stay here and see if you can trust me?" I said.

"Okay." Suddenly Mio answered.

"I hope we can get well Ren-san" Maria said.

"Like I told you there is no need to add -san. You can just call me Ren." I said wit smile.

"Although it doesn't feel right to stay here for free." Mio said.

"Hmm. Maria can you cook or other house works?" I asked.

"Yeah I can cook and I can do house works." Maria said.

"Then how about doing these house works since Mio and I will be at school? If it's okay with you, of course." I asked to Maria.

"It's fine for me. What do you think Mio-sama?" Maria asked to Mio.

"It's okay but how do we explain it to the outside? Of course, I have no plans to tell anyone, but what will we do if something like this happens?" Mio asked.

"You can say that I'm your cousin." I said.

"C-Cousin?!" Mio said with shock.

"You can find other terms if you want. But we have to start being like a family. You can say you're my girlfriend if you want." I said with smile.

"Not girlfriend. I'll find something. And don't think about anything weird or I'll kill you a hundred times. Baka.(stupid)" Mio said with red cheeks.

'So Tsundere Mio is back.' I thought.

"OK, find something else. But from today you can live here. Choose a room of your choice from the upper floor." I said.

"Okay, thank you Ren we will be in your care." Maria said while leaning slightly.

"Ren, you don't need to protect me that much, I can handle it on my own, but thanks anyway. We will be in your care." Mio said with tsundere style.

"What do you say, let's take a family picture?" I said with smile.

"Okay." Maria said with excited voice.

"If you want that much I can't help." Mio said with red cheeks.

I immediately took out a camera from the house and went to the door and took a family photo of the 3 of us. And we wrote Asmodeus&Naruse on the nameplate in front of the house.

"Let me help you bring your things." I said

I helped Mio and Maria get things from their old house that day. After a few hours, we finally managed to bring the items. Actually we didn't have a car so we called the carrying agent and I quickly helped them and brought the stuff here. I gave the carrying agent their money and there were dozens of boxes in the house now.

We were all sitting on the couch right now, so I pretended to be a little tired because with my stats, it's impossible for me to get tired with that much.

I also used this break to check the status of Mio and Maria.

Looking at Mio and Maria's status, a few things stuck in my head, so I decided to ask Astaroth.

'My love. Why is the coefficient difference in my statistics different from Mio and Maria's? Also why is Maria's skills so low?' I asked to Astaroth.

"My blessing in you, darling, increases the coefficient in your stats 10 times. In others it is only 2 times. Also, in Maria's case, all of her succubus skills, except for dream control, were combined into the [Succubus's baptism] skill, upgrading the skill to unleveled skill." Astaroth explained.
