"Not bad!"
After understanding the abilities of his subspecies Balance Breaker, Ayato nodded.
The direction was basically not much different from his conception.
As he thought this, a soft sound came from beside him.
Ayato turned his head and saw that Rias had opened her eyes.
"Awake?"
"Mm!"
Rias nodded, blinked her big eyes, and said, "What's this? Its aura is a bit like the Boosted Gear."
"It is it, just the Subspecies Balance Breaker."
Ayato smiled and began to explain in detail.
Hearing this, Rias's eyes lit up. "So, this can make me stronger?"
"Of course. That's what I prepared it for."
Ayato raised his hand and spoke. "So, do you want to start now?"
"Of course."
Rias stood up generously and stretched lazily, revealing herself to Ayato.
With Koneko and the others not here,
With only Ayato, given their relationship, she didn't even know what shyness was.
Seeing this, Ayato didn't hesitate either.
With a thought,
Crimson patterns drilled into Rias's body.
The aura of the dragon rippled through Rias's body.
"Done."
Ayato withdrew his hand and spoke. "Do you feel anything different?"
"It seems... there's some power inside me..."
Rias frowned, thinking. "It seems like it can gradually change according to my will."
"Mm, that's right."
Ayato nodded and explained. "You can think of this power as a Sacred Gear. What it becomes in the future will be up to your own development."
"I didn't expect that I could also possess the power of the Boosted Gear."
Rias looked up at Ayato, a strange light in her eyes. "My fiancé is truly amazing."
Ayato said seriously, "There are some things you need to pay attention to regarding the Subspecies Balance Breaker."
"Ah?"
Rias's eyes suddenly widened.
"Wait, let's... let's eat breakfast first."
"No, I'm afraid I'll forget later."
…
Empire World!
In the palace.
This bedchamber was exclusive to Ayato.
Even when he was not there, aside from the daily cleaning by the palace maids, no one else could enter.
Hum!
The light of magic circles appeared one after another.
A flock of beautiful women stepped out of the magic circles one by one.
"Long time no see, Esdeath."
"Akame, I've researched a new dish. Come try it sometime."
Seeing their companions, everyone chattered endlessly.
Ayato had many servants, and although they all got along very well,
Due to different personalities and different hobbies,
There were still some closer relationships among them.
"Alright, let's get down to business first."
Ayato clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"I already told you. The reason I gathered you all here today is to make your strength advance further."
"That's right, it's about the Subspecies Balance Breaker of the Boosted Gear, right?"
Utaha answered first. "I'm ready."
With that, she took off her jacket and hopped over, hugging Ayato's arm.
'As expected of you.'
Ayato's eyes flickered, but he did not stop her.
"Oh my, Utaha-san has beaten us to it."
Esdeath walked forward on her long legs, her outer clothes naturally sliding off as she moved.
"Master, when it comes to getting stronger, I am more eager than anyone."
Immediately, Ayato felt his arms sink into a surging ocean.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a faint smile in his eyes.
'Our King is really mischievous.'
Erica complained in her heart.
Granting the Subspecies Balance Breaker or something definitely didn't require all this.
But as the King's servant, it was natural to understand the King's wishes.
"I'm very curious about the Subspecies Balance Breaker of a Longinus too."
As Erica spoke with a smile, she began to move.
She's even more thorough than the others.
Anyway, they were all among their own. What was there to be shy about.
"H-Heh... heh..."
Seeing this, the corners of the others' mouths twitched.
Well!
They weren't even pretending anymore.
With this development, who knows what would happen next.
Even so, some people gradually began to move, slowly walking toward Ayato.
'White, black...'
Ayato kept a serious face, silently commenting.
'Mm, not bad.'
'In the future, besides the tail contest,'
'Other events should be extended.'
'With me still as the judge.'
"Th-This... This... This is too..."
Yukino's face was bright red. She didn't know whether to stay or go.
This scene was too scary for a newcomer.
"Come on, Yukino."
Artoria patted Yukino's shoulder. "You'll get used to it."
"Ah?"
Yukino's brain crashed.
'Was this kind of thing common?'
'Although I had only recently become a servant, don't lie to me!'
"It's like this."
Artoria explained helplessly. "And it could be worse."
Now she was very grateful for her foresight.
Before this, she had preemptively requested that Sakura and the other young girls receive the Subspecies Balance Breaker separately.
Because… it was better not to let them be involved in this kind of hell.
"R-Really?"
Hearing this, Yukino's eyelids twitched, her eyes somewhat dazed.
'In this servant group, what would I become in the future?'
But even as she thought this, she instinctively moved her feet.
"Mm, the distance is about right."
Ayato looked and nodded with satisfaction.
Then,
He slightly raised his right hand, and a crimson light flashed.
The next moment,
Stream after stream of crimson patterns floated up and slowly drilled into the bodies of Esdeath and the others.
"Mmm..."
"Mm...."
The breathing of Utaha and the others began to grow heavy.
Some even went weak in the legs and fell backward, vaguely revealing a hint of mystery.
Yukino: "..."
'What was happening?'
'Were these my fellow kind?'
'Were every single one of them Oscar-worthy actors?'
