Astraea took us to the main house, where the members of the Familia sat around Japanese-styled low tables. Ryuu, Alise, Kaguya, Lyra, the girl with wolf-ears, the amazoness, another loli and elf, and five human girls. This entire place had a Japanese flavor. The black-haired beauty sitting in dignified seiza posture might be the reason.

"Kaguya, why?" Ryuu asked, getting a smile from Kaguya. ​​

"Useless little elf who can't read the mood should shut up."

"What…!"

"It's no surprise Astraea-sama worries for your future," Kaguya retorted.

Ryuu's face went red as she fumbled for words.

"Jeez, you two," Alise said, shaking her head. "Please calm your pretty heads and let Astraea-sama do her thing."

Astraea waved her hands, silencing everyone in the room. She asked us to sit, so our group settled around a table.

"Okay, children. These are the new members. Starting here is Saeko Busujima, Shiori Busujima, Nao Marikawa, Rika Marikawa, Grayfia, Aimi Akane, and lastly… the first male member of our Familia. Asahi Marikawa."

The girls cheered with claps except for Ryuu who seemed skeptical for some reason.

"I hope everyone gets along since they will be your comrades inside the dungeon."

Alise waved her fists in the air with a grin. "We will be the squad of justice fighters!"

"Yes! Delete the Evil!"

"Delete the Evil!"

The rowdy chants filled the air. For a small group, these girls sure made noises. Also, wasn't this our introduction? How did it change to a cult meeting?

"Astraea… sama?"

Astraea closed her eyes, tilted her head a bit, and smiled. The girls shut their mouths, their eyes wide in horror. Astraea's pure smile had that kind of effect too, huh. As expected of an Onee-san, you can never underestimate them.

"Since I'll be a part of this group from now on, don't hesitate to ask for my help."

The girl with wolf-ears raised her hand. "Marikawa-san, I smell your scent on the girls beside you. Are you all in a relationship?"

"Well, yeah," Rika said, grinning ear to ear. "He is our husband."

"Woah. Are you really a noble from the Far East?" she asked.

Kaguya narrowed her eyes at the question, clearly interested in my origins.

"My ancestors hailed from the East. As for me, I grew up in a small village."

"Your story is suspicious," the pallum girl Lyra squinted. "Then why do you have a maid?"

"I'm not a real maid," Grayfia said calmly. "My Lord has an exotic taste, so I… you can guess the rest."

It's okay to like the maids, so I'm normal. You're putting it wrong!

"What taste?" Ryuu asked, her low voice filled with curiosity.

Alise's eyes sparkled as she comprehended something from Grayfia's words. She moved near Ryuu and whispered, "A fetish."

The elf blushed. Like Lefiya, the crimson color reached to her ears. I couldn't help but find her innocence endearing.

The girls then took turns to ask questions. Some asked about my skills, some about my daggers, the amazoness straight up asked my endurance in bed, bringing a blush to most girls.

The entire thing went on until the afternoon. Nao and Grayfia happily trotted with the adventurer girls to the kitchen. I waved the girls goodbye and returned to the room with others.

"So what do you guys think?"

Saeko smiled at my question. "This place is noisy, but I can't help but like it... Reminds me of our school."

"In a good way," Shiori added.

"Aimi, what about you?"

The yandere bodyguard gave a soft smile. "I'm fine as long Asahi-sama is here."

Rika scratched her head as if troubled by something. "Jeez, I feel like a loser here in terms of girl power."

Rika feeling inferior was something new.

I wrapped my arms around the sulking Rika and rubbed her back. She hugged back with even more vigor, squeezing me within her arms.

"You have a different charm."

Rika looked up, grinning widely. She swiftly closed in and pecked my lips. "I just wanted an intimate hug from Aa-chan!"

This vixen...

"Shiori!"

A flash made me blink. Shiori lowered the phone and bowed her head.

"This will be added to the collection."

Rika traced her thumb on her lips, giving a seductive aura that made my heart race. "Speechless Aa-chan is too delicious."

With no intention to get swept into her desires, I put my hand on her head and gently rubbed. Slowly and gently like people treat a child, I eased her budding desires. Rika groaned in frustration before she lowered her head and enjoyed the headpats.

Shiori appeared on Rika's side and tapped her head, silently saying, 'Give me!'

So she got her deserved headpats. Saeko gave a warm smile as she gazed at the sight of her sister being spoiled. Aimi reached out and gently stroked Saeko's hair. Saeko's wide-eyed reaction was priceless.

I quickly pulled out my phone with telekinesis and captured the moment.

…

After spending some more fluffy time with the girls, I had a wholesome dinner, where Astraea scheduled the next dungeon dive for tomorrow morning.

Then everyone went to their room to prepare. Saeko, Shiori, Kaguya, and Ryuu headed to Familia's dojo, so I tagged along.

Kaguya stroked the two daggers at her waist with a smile. "Asahi-kun, how about a quick spar between two dagger wielders?"

Ryuu gave a brief nod while Alise clapped cheerily at the suggestion.

"Yes, please. I want to see A… Marikawa-san in action."

"Aa-chan, show them your prowess!"

Astraea also popped up and joined the girls. "I'll be angry if you two hurt each other."

"Ah, sure." I clenched the daggers from my belt and pulled them out. Taking a wide stance, I smiled. "Let's do this."

"That super handsome can make me blush," Kaguya whispered with a grin and equipped her black daggers. Her body swayed before she dashed at me, leaving an afterimage behind. This wasn't an attack that any level 1 or even level 2 could dodge.

Was she testing me?

She'd know my strength sooner or later, so I might as well reveal something.

Her blade curved toward my neck. I simply raised the dagger. The blades clanged and sparks burst.

[—Kaguya Gojouno: Affection +7]

Contrary to her affection increase, Kaguya frowned and took back her dagger. "This reaction time… did you lie about being a level 1?"

"You can ask our goddess if I lied or not."

"He is a level 1… but he is stronger than most level 2s… and some level 3."

"What? How is that possible? Are you a dragon or something?"

I shrugged. "It's an innate gift."

[—Alise Lovell: Affection +3]

[—Astraea: Affection +1]

[—Ryuu Lion: Affection +1]

Why is her affection rising…?

"How mysterious," Kaguya muttered with a nod before bowing. "I'm done testing your strength. Let's have a friendly match now!"

"I don't mind."

[—Kaguya Gojouno: Affection +2]

My charm was a bit too much for these women…

We started a casual spar with pure skills and almost no strength. She turned out to be the superior one. A few exchanges later, my dagger skill got an upgrade, reaching C-Rank.

Alise and Ryuu sparred against Saeko and Shiori to a stalemate, earning a look of admiration from everyone involved.

"Marikawa-san, spar with me!"

I gulped looking into Alise's glittering eyes. "I never used a sword."

"Come on, come on. It's just a friendly exchange."

"Fine."
