A warm, moist sensation on his forehead. A gentle kiss.

A cheerful, melodious voice reached his ears. It was his sister, Kasugano Sora.

"Haru, wake up! Breakfast is ready!"

Haru slowly opened his eyes, yawning and looking at the beautiful girl before him. Her delicate, doll-like face, her silver hair tied back in a ponytail with a white ribbon, her body clad only in a kitchen apron.

Oh! It's a naked apron temptation today, Haru thought to himself.

3 years had passed since he became a Godslayer. Many things had happened, and Sora's clothing habits were one of them, a very good habit that he had cultivated.

Incidentally, yesterday it was a nurse's outfit, the day before a sailor uniform, and the day before that a qipao… All sorts of "good morning" activities had been implemented at his suggestion.

The $300 million annual stipend from the Japanese government to the Kasugano family was mostly spent on these eye-catching outfits. Due to certain activities, these clothes often got damaged. These companies are so unscrupulous these days, not even guaranteeing quality. They rip with just a little force…

Note: Kasugano Haru's current grip strength is 600 tons, ten thousand times that of an average person.

Haru enjoyed breakfast, or perhaps it was brunch considering the time, with Sora nestled in his arms. The dining room clock showed 10:00 am.

Out of consideration for Sora's temperament, only the two siblings lived in the old house. Haru usually met with his other companions in the newly built courtyard next door. 

"Do you have any plans for today?" Sora deftly turned in his arms, straddling his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. The combination of the apron and this suggestive pose was quite alluring.

"Well, a certain god is probably going to come knocking today," Haru said, remembering the Gorgon Stone he had acquired yesterday. It was a crucial artifact that would allow Athena to regain her status and power as a king of gods. Therefore, the goddess throwing herself at him was inevitable.

"Ha, another unlucky one," Sora said, a hint of pity in her eyes. When did this start? Oh right, three years ago, when Haru became a Campione. Facing Haru's power and his command over the world's rules, the Heretic Gods were no longer challenging opponents. This was the main reason she had allowed him to hunt them down. What danger could there be in a fight that was as easy as slaughtering chickens?

"By the way, my two knights from Italy should be arriving today," Haru casually informed Sora about the fact that the Red Devil and the Silver Fairy would be serving him. Years of experience had taught him that being upfront about these things resulted in fewer complaints than hiding them.

"Italian lovers this time, huh?" Sora said, looking at the shameless Haru with exasperation. The Devil King's privileges had indulged Haru's desires to a boundless degree. In Japan, the only men who could rival Haru in the number of women they were involved with were the less than twenty male actors in the adult film industry.

Ever since Sora had compromised on Tojo Miki and Luo Hao, Haru's love life had spiraled out of her control.

A spark flashed in Haru's mind. He sensed someone entering his territory. A five-kilometer radius around the Kasugano residence was under his constant surveillance. He monitored every movement in the small town of Okukozome. Judging by the aura, it should be Athena.

"Sora, we have guests," Haru said, suppressing his divine aura and emitting the killing intent of a Godslayer.

Let's test this out and see if it plays out like in the original story.

"Liliana, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Erica, pulling a red suitcase, stood at the entrance to Okukozome, urging her childhood friend, Liliana Kranjcar, to follow.

Liliana was a slender girl with silver-brown hair tied back in a ponytail. Her face held the strong, distinct beauty of Eastern European descent.

She wore a long-sleeved black t-shirt, a short pleated skirt, black leggings, and a blue shawl over a blue and black vertically striped top, giving her the appearance of a blue knight.

Her outfit wasn't much different from Erica's red and black ensemble, except for the color. As sister organizations with a long history of both cooperation and rivalry, the Bronze Black Cross and the Copper Black Cross naturally had similar clothing styles.

Liliana, however, lacked her usual resolute expression. Her index fingers fidgeted nervously as she stood beside the road sign that read "Okukozome, 5 km ahead." Her feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to take a single step forward.

Because of the mishap with the Gorgon Stone, and more importantly, the order from the world's strongest vagabond king, Liliana had been commanded by her grandfather, Elder Kranjcar, to accompany Erica to Okukozome and serve the Devil King. She had lost her right to inheritance.

"Could it be that you're imagining romantic scenarios with Haru, Liliana? Didn't you just finish drafting a story called 'The Devil King's Knight' yesterday?" Erica teased, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Liliana, a newly appointed paladin, had a secret hobby: creative writing. She enjoyed writing self-insert stories like "The CEO Fell in Love with Me" or "My Gangster Boyfriend." Incidentally, the female protagonists were always based on herself.

"H-how… How did you know that? And you even know the title of my latest draft!" Liliana's composure crumbled. Her face flushed crimson, a common affliction of writers when their fantasies are exposed to someone they know. The shame was overwhelming.

"All the tiramisu you can eat! That's the deal I made with Karen!" Erica grinned, enjoying Liliana's flustered reaction.

Karen, whom Erica mentioned, was Liliana's maid, a trainee witch of the Bronze Black Cross with exceptional talent. She had been assigned to Liliana, the paladin, to further her magical training.

However, Karen was unexpectedly cunning. She often teased the innocent Liliana and would sell information she deemed "unimportant" to Erica for a little treat.

"That day, the King fell in love with me at first sight, even though I was still…" Erica began reading aloud from one of Liliana's stories, her voice dripping with dramatic flair.

Liliana rushed forward and covered Erica's mouth. "What are you after this time? Just name your price, and you can forget all about this."

Erica gently removed Liliana's hand, a triumphant smirk on her face. "It's nothing serious. If Haru wants you to… attend to him, could I observe?"

"Wh-what?! Attend to him?!" Liliana stammered, her slender arms waving frantically, betraying her panic.

"Well, since it's something I haven't experienced before, I'd need some…"

Erica couldn't finish her sentence. A small figure radiating an intense divine aura appeared before the two knight girls.

The overwhelming divine presence, like a bright moon in the dark night, announced her arrival.

Like robots, Erica and Liliana slowly turned their heads towards the figure.
