Looking at Astarte, Abel nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, from now on you are my treasure, my possession.
You will live under the protection of the King, so... be yourself, Astarte!"
As Abel's words fell, Astarte looked up at Abel.
Be yourself?
For some reason,
Astarte's eyes glinted with an unknown light, then she bowed slightly, "Yes, Master."
Now, Astarte's matter was temporarily resolved.
As long as Abel didn't die, the Familiar within her wouldn't devour her life force.
At this moment, Jade Rabbit came before Abel and bowed slightly, "Master, since the matter is complete, I shall take my leave."
With that, Jade Rabbit transformed into a gentle breeze and returned to her own body.
It must be said, the Twelve Familiars were all quite unique.
Just then, the aroma of roasted meat wafted from the kitchen, and Himeragi Yukina called out, "The roasted meat and ice cream are ready."
Aurora's lips curved slightly, "I am coming."
Soon, everyone gathered around the dining table and began to enjoy the delicious food.
Hmm... Astarte was also there; even though she was an artificial life form, she still needed to eat.
Astarte looked at the scene before her, and her heart rippled with a sense of warmth she had never experienced before.
Previously, she had always recovered her stamina by soaking in liquid tanks.
Let alone eating food.
Aurora, who was feasting, paused as she saw Astarte not moving: "Astarte, you should eat too."
Astarte hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of roasted meat, and put it into her mouth.
The aroma of the roasted meat spread in her mouth, and she couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction.
Perhaps this wasn't bad either.
...
The next day.
The moment the sun rose, the temperature on Itogami Island also increased.
Abel woke up from his bed.
Both of his arms were being hugged.
He looked left and right, only to see Astarte and Aurora each hugging one of his arms.
By the way... how did they get here again?
"Hehe ~ Abel, let me bite you ~"
Aurora said in her sleep while hugging Abel's arm, then opened her mouth, preparing to bite down.
Thump ~
A crisp sound rang out.
A good sound means a good head.
Aurora clutched her head and looked at Abel with displeasure, "You are bad."
"Don't mess around so early in the morning."
Abel said helplessly, then continued, "It's time to wake up, we have to go to school later."
At this moment, Astarte also slowly woke up.
Seeing herself hugging Abel's arm, her face instantly turned red, and she quickly let go.
Aurora, on the other hand, pouted, looking like she hadn't had enough sleep.
"Alright, since you're all awake, get up."
"Yes, Master."
"Got it."
Abel stretched and got out of bed.
After washing up, he went downstairs and found Himeragi Yukina already preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Seeing Abel, she bowed slightly, "King, please wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon."
"Hmm, thank you for your hard work."
Astarte and Aurora also came downstairs.
Soon, Himeragi Yukina finished making breakfast and brought it out.
"Everyone, please have breakfast."
After breakfast, everyone went to Saikai Academy together, of course, Astarte stayed at home for now.
After all, she was only a few months old.
School.
Natsuki Minamiya's room.
As the magic circle appeared, Abel walked out of it.
"Yo, good morning, Nangong Na..."
Before he finished speaking, Abel paused slightly.
He saw a small version of Natsuki Minamiya covering the large version of Natsuki Minamiya with a blanket.
After doing everything, Natsuki Minamiya looked at Abel and said, "Good morning, Liege."
"Hmm, good morning."
Abel chuckled, then looking at the main body and the magic clone, Abel asked, "Didn't the main body come out? Why are you still using the magic clone?"
After speaking, he looked at the big and small figures.
Then a question suddenly popped up.
Are the main body and the magic clone's senses interconnected?
"The magic clone is a habit."
"I see."
Abel nodded, after all, it would definitely be uncomfortable for someone who had used a magic clone for several years to use their main body.
"Liege, would you like some tea?"
"If it's no trouble, a cup would be nice."
Natsuki Minamiya nodded and then turned to start brewing black tea.
Looking at Natsuki Minamiya who was brewing tea.
Abel's gaze fell on Natsuki Minamiya's main body, and Abel smiled wickedly, extending his evil hand towards the main body.
Natsuki Minamiya, who was brewing black tea, trembled, and an unusual sensation came from her body.
She stumbled and couldn't stand steadily, she quickly turned to Abel and roared, "Liege! What are you doing!!"
At this moment, the main body's feelings had already been transmitted to the clone.
Natsuki Minamiya hadn't expected her master to be so bold!
Time passed by little by little.
Abel wiped his fingers with a towel.
Natsuki Minamiya was using magic to control a mop to clean the floor, while also not forgetting to brew her tea.
However... her gaze was always fixed on Abel.
She wished she could burn him; her master was so frivolous!
Soon, two cups of excellent Ceylon Kandy black tea were brewed.
Natsuki Minamiya took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and brought the brewed black tea to Abel.
"Liege, please have some tea."
She said, suppressing the shame and indignation in her heart, then continued, "Do you need to add mint?"
Abel took the tea, "No, thank you."
Mint in black tea, what kind of divine way of drinking is this?
In any case, Abel had never had it.
Abel took a sip and felt it was quite good.
Then he remembered something, and took out the gift he had prepared yesterday from Kamui Space, black tea leaves bought from Kandy in Ceylon.
"Here."
Natsuki Minamiya was slightly startled, her gaze falling on the packet of black tea leaves, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, then she returned to her usual composure.
"Liege, this is..."
"I went to Ceylon Kandy briefly yesterday and bought it as a gift for you."
Abel said casually.
Natsuki Minamiya's heart rippled slightly; she hadn't expected this seemingly bold and frivolous master to remember to bring her a gift.
This time... she would forgive him.
"Thank you, Liege." She said softly, her voice gaining a hint of gentleness.
She carefully took the tea leaves and placed them on a nearby table.
Now, it was time to talk about serious matters.
"Nayue-chan."
"Hmm?"
"Can you give me what's stored in the anchor area?"
Hearing Abel's words, Natsuki Minamiya was slightly startled.
The things in the anchor area?
Natsuki Minamiya asked, "You want that arm?"
"Exactly."
Abel nodded and then continued, "After all, I made a deal with an unlucky fellow."
Hearing Abel's words, Natsuki Minamiya was somewhat speechless.
The arm stored in the anchor area was connected to the entire Itogami Island.
If it was rashly removed without a substitute, this small island would sink.
How could it be traded so casually!
