I stepped toward Saeko standing with a dignified posture and a sharp gaze.

"Asahi-kun, please be prepared for a tough fight." ​​

"I always was, you sadistic woman."

Saeko grinned at my grumble. Taking the stance of kendoka, she drew out her new katana.

"A real battle is usually the best place to train one's skills."

I nodded and pulled out my favorite daggers in a reverse grip. My stance might seem ridiculous to a professional like her, but that was expected for a young master like me.

"Duel start!"

I flinched at Shiori's words. Duel, the heck? This psycho would beat me into pulp in the name of a duel.

"You knew that, don't you?"

"Fufufu, what might you mean, Asahi-kun~?"

I shook my head and charged for the first hit straight on her throat.

Saeko tilted her head and smacked her elbow against my hand. "You are quite heartless aiming for your woman's throat at the first attempt."

I retreated and answered, "You know my skills, don't you?"

"Oh, the shield one?" Saeko bowed. "I apologize for misunderstanding your intention."

"Don't sweat over it."

Saeko smiled and resumed her stance. "Then victory would be yours if you destroy that shield. If you do that, I will do anything you want."

"What are your terms, then?"

Saeko licked her lips with a seductive smile. "This condition goes both ways."

Ah shit, here we go again.

I dashed toward her and swung my dagger. Time slowed down as my perception reached its peak. Saeko's lips slowly curled up into a mocking grin as she pushed the sword to the right. I tossed the dagger and holding its handle, I stabbed toward her left rib.

Saeko's expression turned solemn. Instead of fighting, she jumped back.

She lowered the sword. "That was an amazing move."

*Ding!*

"Way to go, Asahi-kun! I love you!"

"Aa-kun, that was amazing."

"Asahi-san, please do that again."

"Onii-chan! You are Aiko's hero!"

I glanced at the smile on their face and scratched my cheek. This young master's thick skin melted from their admiration.

"Again."

I agreed with a nod. As if I would let go of a way to grind affection points.

I rushed again. This time Saeko was serious and fought with her full strength. I still managed to break the emergency shield that popped out near her stomach.

After that came the training on my basics, which I lacked the most.

***

An hour later.

"Hah, hah."

I gasped for breath while admiring the face of the woman who pushed me this far.

My eyes never stayed on her lacy violet bra!

"How do my bare thighs feel?" Saeko asked and ruffled my hair. "They may lack the softness of a woman."

I denied her useless thought with a shake of my head. "Never say that again. They are the gift of heaven."

She giggled at my answer. "You are truly a pervert... But I am no better when I get wet from inflicting pain on others"

"We both are abnormal as far as human standards go."

"Just a simple lap pillow, is this what you wanted?"

"Nothing better to recover—"

*Ding!*

[��'Natural Gentleman' ranked up to C.]

[—You learned a new skill 'Healing Thighs']

[—Healing Thighs (F-Rank): Receiving a lap pillow from your partner increases the rate of your spiritual and physical recovery by 100%.]

Wow… Now I can heal from lap pillows…

"Asahi-kun?"

I was lost in thoughts for a bit too long. I explained the new skill to her. She burst into laughter.

"You really are a 'hentai protagonist' like Shiori said."

"...Why does your sister know about hentai?"

"She has a lot of them in her room. Though I was tempted to, I never watched them."

Using naked apron to seduce me, then the reference for Rance—Shiori was a woman of culture.

"She is also very kinky in her preferences."

"I see. I am gonna get devoured if I head into the battle like this?"

She leaned down and smirked. "I will be there to back Shiori up."

I might need to get serious about them. I checked my status.

I became a lot stronger. Fighting Saeko was merely possible because of my high perception. Even then, she was able to dodge on her instincts. The difference in experience was too much.

I had a long way to go before I fuck Klyscha's real body.

(Ehehe, I am more than satisfied like this.)

'I know that. But I don't like going back on my words.'

"Asahi-kun, have you recovered yet?" Saeko patted my cheeks. "Can we continue after I bathe? The spar got me sweaty."

"Let's take one together."

"Okay, I can wash your back that way."

We enjoyed some intimacy in the bath, though only at the level of groping each other.

After lunch, I went into the same room with the summoning magic circle and poured my mana, thinking of the slightly perverted spirit.

The magic circle lit up with a bronze light, different for the silvery hue of Grayfia.

[500 KP deducted for creating a physical body for Lemegeton.]

[KP left - 16969]

A golden flash blinded me, calming down moments later. A woman with brown skin floated before me. Her silver hair reminiscent of gentle moonlight, wearing a revealing black dress with gold bracelets around her arms.

"Ale? Why is Leme here?"

The crimson tattoo on her forehead glowed for a second. Her golden eyes darted around in panic.

"W-W-Why can't Leme access the Astrum?"

It's time to fool this naive spirit.
