Chapter 38 - Chapter 38 - A Questionable Morning Plan....

Alear slowly woke up with a sensation of weight on top of him, something pressing down and moving repeatedly, which ended up pulling his consciousness back from sleep. Still a bit groggy, it took him a few seconds to understand where he was and what was happening, until he finally opened his eyes more clearly.

He opened his eyes and was met with quite a sight; Mio was sitting directly on his hips. Her long red hair was loose and messy, falling sensually over her shoulders and back in two large high twin braids that resembled cat ears. Her bright pink eyes stared at him with a mischievous and slightly arrogant expression, her lips slightly parted in a seductive smile. She wore only a short and extremely tight white shirt, which barely contained her large and heavy breasts, the stretched fabric perfectly outlining their round and voluminous shape. Her soft, slightly exposed belly contrasted with her slim waist, while her panties and short denim shorts barely covered her thick thighs and perky butt.

Mio placed both hands on his chest, leaning her body forward. Her heavy breasts swayed obscenely with the movement, nearly slipping out of the shirt.

"Ah~ You finally woke up.." she said in a husky and provocative voice. "Good morning....."

Alear blinked once, still processing the scene, but soon a lazy smile appeared on his lips. He looked directly at her ample breasts, which were almost brushing against his chest, before returning his gaze to her face.

"Good morning, Mio...." he replied, his voice still hoarse from sleep. "What are you doing?"

Mio shot back immediately, with a mischievous expression and a slight tsundere tone:

"What do you think I'm doing? Waking you up, of course." She moved her hips slightly again, pressing down on him a bit more. "Maria said boys get happy when this happens..."

"..." Of course it had to be that little succubus, Alear grumbled internally, already beginning to feel somewhat resigned to the situation.

"Hey, stop making that stupid face and get up already..." Mio said when she noticed his expression.

"Yeah..."

What was he supposed to do? She herself didn't seem to have noticed, but every time Mio's hands pressed against his chest, her breasts trembled slightly, offering a view far too good to ignore. Without realizing it, he ended up staying still for a few seconds…

"Hey, get up already or… Eh?"

Suddenly, Mio seemed to notice something different. Her expression shifted into a mix of doubt and curiosity. Then, as she tried to confirm the sensation with her own hand—

"… H- Hey… somehow… I feel something hard?"

Alear looked up with a calm, lazy smile and spoke in a low, relaxed, almost casual voice:

"In the position you're sitting in… it's hard for a certain part of me not to wake up, Mio. I'm a completely straight man, after all...."

Mio's pink eyes widened comically, her entire body going stiff for a second. Her cheeks, which were already flushed, exploded into a deep red that spread all the way to her ears.

"E-Eh…?!" She blinked several times, clearly processing what he had said. Her gaze automatically dropped downward, between their bodies, where she could feel the rigidity. The sensation was far too obvious to ignore.

"This… this is…!?"

She tried to maintain her composure, but it was obvious she was flustered. Her lips opened and closed without making a sound for a moment, her hands pressing harder against his chest than necessary. Apparently, she was very good at taking initiative when things followed the script she had imagined. However, when something went out of control or was said so directly and unexpectedly, she became visibly shaken...

He quickly came to the conclusion that this had probably come from one of Maria's ideas, who must have convinced her that "waking him up like that" would be effective or even pleasant. Mio, on the other hand, seemed to have taken the suggestion literally, focusing only on the task of waking him up without considering the context. The problem was that she only realized the impact of her own actions when it was already too late. Upon noticing his natural reaction, it finally clicked—both what she was doing and how it could be interpreted. That left her clearly confused and flustered, like someone who only then realizes they had crossed a line unintentionally.....

Mio remained still for a few more seconds, completely red and unsure how to react. Her gaze alternated between Alear's face and the obvious bulge she could feel right beneath her.

"W-What… what kind of thing are you suddenly saying…!?" she finally exploded, her voice coming out high-pitched and full of embarrassment. "I-Idiot! Pervert!"

Even nervous, she maintained her composure as much as she could, but it was obvious she was shaken. After a moment of hesitation, Alear spoke gently:

"Mio… would you mind getting off, please?"

Upon hearing that, Mio gave a small jump, as if she had been shocked. She quickly got off him, almost stumbling as she scrambled to the side of the bed. Her cheeks were burning as she noticed the evident bulge in his pants, and she turned her face away, crossing her arms defensively.

"H-Hmph! It's not like I wanted to sit on you anyway!" she shot back, clearly trying to regain control of the situation. "It was just… just a way to wake you up! Naturally, a man would have a reaction like that, I don't care about it...."

Alear stretched calmly on the bed, raising his arms above his head as he let out a lazy yawn. He glanced at her from the side and asked, still with a slight smile:

"Whose idea was that, anyway?"

Mio, who was still lost in her own thoughts, blinked and returned to reality. She hesitated for a second before answering, averting her gaze:

"…It was Maria's."

Alear sighed, running a hand over his face with a resigned expression.

"Of course it was. You really let yourself be led by that perverted little succubus. Be careful not to become a pervert too…"

Mio immediately puffed up her cheeks, turning to him with narrowed eyes and a pronounced pout.

"W-Who are you calling a pervert!? I just… I just thought it would be a good way to wake you up! That's all it was! Don't twist things however you want, you idiot!"

She crossed her arms tightly, making her large breasts press together and become even more evident beneath the tight shirt, while she turned her face away with a "Hmph!"....

Alear kept looking at Mio for a few more seconds, admiring the way she tried to maintain her tsundere act even with her face red and her body clearly restless. He smiled in a lazy and teasing way.

"You look pretty cute when you're embarrassed...." he murmured loud enough for her to hear...

Mio turned even redder, pulling her arm back as if she had been shocked.

"W-Who's embarrassed!? I'm not affected at all, you idiot!" she shot back, turning her face away with a pout, though her thighs were still pressed together.

Alear chuckled softly and sat up on the bed, stretching his shoulders.

"Let's go downstairs for breakfast. We have a new resident in the mansion that I want to introduce to you two...."

Mio blinked, curiosity immediately overcoming her embarrassment.

"A new resident? Who?"

Alear simply smiled without answering, which only made Mio more restless.

The two went downstairs together to the dining room. As soon as they entered, the scene that greeted them was… typical.

Maria was helping Lotte set the table, wearing only a white apron over an extremely small red bikini.

"Maria!!" Mio exclaimed, already irritated.

Maria turned with an innocent smile and, at the same time, clearly mischievous.

"Good morning, Alear-sama~ Good morning, Mio-sama! How was waking Alear-sama, Mio-sama? Did he get happy?" she asked, tilting her head slightly and winking provocatively, as if she already knew exactly the kind of situation she had put Mio in.

Mio turned red with anger and embarrassment. She quickly advanced and grabbed the little succubus by the head tightly.

"You perverted idiot! I'll kill you!!"

"Kyaaah~! Alear-sama, help! Mio-sama is abusing me!" Maria whined dramatically, pretending to suffer as she squirmed.

Alear sighed, running a hand over his face, clearly exhausted with the situation.

"Maria, put something on first."

Maria slipped out of Mio's grip easily and gave a quick spin, making the light fabric she wore swirl along with her.

"But I am wearing something! Look, it's a super cute bikini~ Unfortunately…" she said, winking at Alear provocatively.

Alear ignored the provocation and looked at Lotte.

"Lotte, is Ravel already awake?"

Before Lotte could answer, a polite and aristocratic voice came from the entrance of the room:

"Good morning, Alear-sama."

Ravel entered the room wearing an elegant lilac casual dress. Her long blonde hair was neatly arranged, and she maintained a noble posture, although she still seemed a bit shy.

Mio and Maria turned their heads at the same time toward the new girl.

Alear nodded calmly.

"Good morning, Ravel. Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, thank you. The room is very comfortable," she replied politely, before casting a glance at the other two girls with a slightly arrogant expression. "And these two… who are they, Alear-sama?"

Mio immediately frowned, clearly bothered by Ravel's arrogant tone.

"Who do you think you are to talk like that?" she shot back, crossing her arms.

Alear intervened before the situation escalated, placing a hand on Mio's shoulder to calm her down.

"Relax. Let me introduce you. This is Ravel Phenex, my fiancée from now on."

He then gestured to the other two.

"This is Mio Naruse, my Bishop, and this is Maria Naruse, my Rook. Both are part of my peerage."

Ravel blinked, surprised. There was practically no information about Alear's peerage structure circulating on the Devilnet. Even so, there they were—two of his pieces—and from what she knew, both came from a lineage with enormous potential, since they were daughters of Wilbert! The legendary Uncrowned Demon King! As expected of him… she thought, before quickly regaining her composure.

Mio, on the other hand, became visibly tense upon hearing the word "fiancée," her discomfort immediately showing on her face.

Maria, as always, opened a mischievous smile.

"Uiii Another fiancée? Alear-sama is really collecting beautiful women How many do you plan to have?"

Alear sat calmly at the head of the table, looking at the three girls with a relaxed, almost amused expression.

"Who knows.... I'm not the type of man who gets satisfied that easily...." he replied casually, picking up a cup of coffee that Lotte had just served.

Maria opened a wide and bright smile, lightly clapping her hands.

"Uwaaah! Alear-sama is so honest! I love that about you! So direct and shameless" she winked at him provocatively before turning her gaze to Mio. "Isn't that right, Mio-sama? You like that side of him too, don't you?"

Mio, who had been silent until then, shot a deadly glare at Maria, her pink eyes narrowed in pure irritation.

"Shut up, you perverted idiot…"

Ravel observed the whole scene carefully. Despite her young age by the standards of Devils, beings who could live for millennia, she was quite intelligent. In just a few seconds, she analyzed the atmosphere: Mio's possessive and affectionate gaze directed at Alear, Maria's bold and playful provocation, and the completely natural way Alear dealt with both of them. From that, she quickly concluded that they were concubines or something very close to that, clearly in love with him.

She didn't feel threatened; on the contrary. As a well-educated noble, she knew it was common in high-ranking families to have multiple wives and concubines. More than that, she understood that, to remain by the side of someone like Alear, she would need to get along well with his other women. It was something she was already prepared for, especially considering Serafall and Seekvaira, who would also be wives of her future husband. Naturally, now this extended to his current peerage, which at the moment consisted of those two clearly infatuated girls, although she had the impression that this number would increase in the future....

Alear observed the three girls for a moment, noticing the growing tension in the air. He let out a light but amused sigh and spoke in a calm and authoritative tone:

"Enough. Let's all have breakfast in peace. Sit down."

Mio huffed softly, still casting irritated glances at Maria, but obeyed and pulled out a chair. Maria, with a mischievous smile, sat beside her. Ravel, maintaining her elegant posture, sat on Alear's other side, observing the two with discreet curiosity.

As soon as they settled, Mio turned to Maria with an irritated expression and jabbed her shoulder firmly.

"Put on some decent clothes right now, you exhibitionist! I'm not having breakfast while looking at you practically naked!"

Maria tilted her head, feigning innocence.

"But I am dressed~"

Mio narrowed her eyes.

"Maria."

"Muuh… fine, fine…" Maria sighed dramatically, but obeyed. With a snap of her fingers, she used her magic to change her appearance. The apron and bikini disappeared, replaced by a short, light white dress with pink details, still quite revealing, but at least decent enough for a meal.

"Done! Satisfied, Mio-sama~?"

Mio huffed, crossing her arms, but seemed a bit calmer.
