Reunion after 2 years

When the girls heard me, they were very pleased with my responses, but also concerned because it seemed like a serious matter.

"Is where you're going very dangerous?" Secily asked a bit anxiously.

"You shouldn't worry because there are very few things that can harm me," I said while caressing their heads.

After that, I quickly left, not giving them time to say anything else. As I left, August approached Shin.

"What do you think he's going to do so urgently?" August asked.

"I don't know; he almost never tells us about his things," Shin replied, while the girls became even more worried

On the other hand, I had appeared on my small throne located in the headquarters of my organization, as it had been two years since I would travel alone across the continent.

I took my communicator and sent a message that was broadcast to all the important girls, informing them that we would meet in the main hall of the base and that I was waiting for them.

After a few minutes, I could see many figures flying toward the base. I must admit that the wings I had added to their suits looked cool; it was a very good decision. Moreover, their speed was very fast and easy to use, which was a plus.

Finally, ten beautiful girls arrived in front of where I was seated, and they all knelt down.

"We have seen the young master," they all said in unison.

"You can rise," I said, and I could see all of them standing up when they heard me.

"As you know, the two years I mentioned for me to travel alone across the continent have passed. At a glance, I can see that many of you have become stronger in your respective fields, and not only that, you have also become very beautiful," I said as I looked at all of them again.

"Thank you very much, young master," upon hearing me, all the girls were very happy with my praise because I hold a special place in their hearts.

"All right, I can see that some of you are a little tired. How about we go and take a bath first, and then you can tell me about your progress?" I suggested, as some of them looked a bit exhausted from the rapid journey they had made.

To which they all nodded, but suddenly, Eva spoke flirtatiously, "Young master, don't you want to join us in the bath?"

When all of them heard her, they looked at me with a slight expectation in their eyes. As a mature person in some aspects, I obviously wouldn't refuse, but I had to at least appear gentlemanly.

"Before even considering that, you should check if any of the girls feel uncomfortable with it because if they do, I wouldn't do it," I replied.

Upon hearing me, I looked at the ten girls who were behind me to see if any of them had any issues with it.

"Girls, does anyone feel uncomfortable with the young master joining us in the bath?" Eva asked.

Although some of them blushed, they all shook their heads. Eva then looked at me, expecting my decision. Seeing that none of them were bothered, I acted as if I were seriously considering the matter, and after a few minutes, I agreed.

Afterward, we all went to the large hot spring bath in our base. I must say that the ambiance in this place has improved a lot during this time, so I decided to enjoy it.

When we all got into the water, we quickly relaxed as it was very comfortable. I decided to start asking about the organization's progress.

"Girls, tell me how you've been these past two years and what you've accomplished."

When they heard me, Sara was the first to speak.

"Young master, both Zoe and I have made significant progress in expanding our businesses with the things you've taught us. We even successfully implemented a bank, taking utmost care when creating the banknotes, which have a multitude of security measures on each one."

"Furthermore, several of our products have become very famous, such as perfumes, soaps, chocolates, musical instruments, dresses, etc. Not to mention some low-grade gadgets that have sold well and become quite popular."

"In general, things have been going very well. We're leading in various places in many nearby realms, and we continue to grow. We even have branches of all kinds in the Earlshide Kingdom if you're interested in visiting," Sara explained.

Afterward, Luna shared her situation, "In these two years, thanks to my popularity in music from the songs you've taught me, I was able to create an Aristocrats' College where many young people from various important families have joined to learn music and noble etiquettes. Being allied with the organization's fashion store has made things easier for us, providing us with new and stylish clothing that many people have loved."

"Many important people have also contacted me to have their children learn in my school, allowing me to gather a lot of information from various nearby realms, including Earlshide."

As I listened to them, I nodded. 'It seems they've made very good use of their time,' I thought. Then, Eva spoke:

"As for the members, they have increased, but not too many, as our requirements are very high. So far, we have only 100 official members, not including us, and around 230 members who are not yet official because their strength does not meet the requirement of reaching the level of an A-rank adventurer."

"Among the important data of the official members, excluding us, 40 have a strength at level A, 30 have a strength at level A+, 17 have a strength at level S, 11 have a strength at level S+, and 2 have a strength at level SS," Eva reported.

"These last two are on a final mission to obtain a glove like ours and become elite members," she added.

"When they complete their mission, please inform me. Being at their level, they have the same right as you to meet me, so I'll take the opportunity to get to know them and see their strength," I commented.

"What about you, Ada? How's your progress with artifacts?" I asked curiously.

"I've made a lot of progress so far, young master. I can create artifacts and inscribe legendary-level enchantments if I put in a lot of effort, but I feel like I've hit a plateau," she sighed.

"Take this guide with various enchantments and inscriptions I created myself. You can use some of them to enhance the elite girls' suits in our organization, as it's about time for them to get an upgrade," I said, handing her a book with enchantments I had prepared some time ago when I was bored.

"Thank you very much, young master," Ada said, her eyes shining as she held the book.

Then, I turned to Joss, "Joss, how is your healing magic progressing? Have you made progress with the biology books I gave you?"

"Regarding that, I've improved quite a bit, but some time ago, I started researching on my own because I've already finished the books you gave me two years ago. So I began experimenting with small animals like rats and frogs," she explained.

"Alright, you can use these books to continue your studies," I replied while creating several advanced biology books with my ability.

After that, I became a bit more serious to discuss important matters.

"Eva, how is the investigation on those demons going?"

Seeing my serious demeanor, all of them fell silent, and Eva responded, "So far, we haven't been able to find much information. We've only been able to deduce that they have three classifications, ranging from low to high ranks, with a strength ranking within each tier."

"As for 'That' they mentioned in their letter, there is no information about it, let alone their lord and its strength."

While she spoke, she chose not to reveal the latest discoveries since they hadn't been confirmed yet, and she believed they were unnecessary.

"Don't feel bad because they are not common demons. So far, if we compare the strength of a high-ranked demon, they should have similar strength to yours, but I'm not entirely sure. There shouldn't be much of a difference."

"Moreover, by killing more than half a dozen of them, they had to become alarmed and act more cautiously in their actions. If their lord is as powerful as they claim, there must be something preventing it from coming out and allowing only its subordinates to carry out its orders."

"Furthermore, we really don't know how many demons there could be, so we need to be very cautious about the matter. By the way, have you already provided their protections to the other official members for their safety?"

"Yes, young master. We created a small book with all the information you provided, along with their seals, and gave them to each official member so they could be prepared for any unexpected situation," Ada commented, and I nodded.

After that, I engaged in discussions with the girls on various other topics while we enjoyed our time in the bath, not realizing how long we had been inside.

I decided not to share all the information or any of my hypotheses, as I wasn't sure about them. So, I could only sigh and help them become stronger for whatever might come their way.
