Anime Gate: Devil Familia in a DxD Mashup World

— — — — — — — 

Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze was hazy.

She licked her lips, swallowing all of Lynn's saliva, fully committed to maximizing the magic replenishment effect.

Shiina Mahiru, who had just joined Lynn's peerage, widened her eyes, her pupils trembling violently.

As a newcomer, witnessing such an intense scene right off the bat was too much for her little heart to handle. It pounded wildly in her chest.

Seeing her exaggerated expression, Utaha looked away, clearly exasperated. She muttered under her breath, "Such a big deal over nothing."

It was just magic replenishment.

Yeah, that's all it was—magic replenishment!

Utaha quickly composed herself, even going so far as to explain the concept to the newcomer while sharing some 'experience.'

'So that's how it works?'

Mahiru's expression was odd.

'But…Why did it feel like Utaha-senpai's intentions weren't exactly pure?'

Curiosity got the better of her, and she continued listening.

"..."

'Wait!' Utaha abruptly stopped her explanation.

'Why was I even explaining this to a newbie?!'

'What if Mahiru started using this excuse to 'replenish magic' and harass Lynn in the future?'

'Lynn was already busy enough every day. He needed his rest!'

"? Utaha?"

Mahiru tilted her head in confusion.

Why did she stop? She wanted to hear more!

Lynn didn't concern himself with their little side drama.

If Mahiru could quickly get along with the rest of the peerage, he had no complaints.

He glanced over at Miko, who was staring at him eagerly, and raised a brow. "What's this? Do you need magic replenishment too, Miko?"

"N-No! I-I—"

Yotsuya Miko panicked, waving her hands frantically.

But Lynn could clearly see that she looked exhausted, so he walked right over to her.

"This won't do. If you don't recover your stamina and magic, how are you supposed to level up properly?"

"Mmph!"

Miko's eyes widened in shock!

A soft touch pressed against her lips.

A pink shade spread across her cheeks.

Despite the embarrassment welling up inside her, her body made no attempt to pull away.

Her hands, unsure where to go, rested hesitantly on Lynn's chest.

'I-Is this… my first real kiss…?'

Her eyes glazed over.

'Strange…It kind of tastes like orange-flavored lip balm…'

'Mmm…Wait, isn't this Utaha-senpai's flavor…?'

It didn't last long.

Lynn soon pulled away.

But Miko still felt like she was floating, absentmindedly touching her lips.

Her first kiss…Was actually kind of nice?

On the other side, Utaha rolled her eyes at the scene.

She absentmindedly kicked at the air, muttering to herself, "Knew Miko wouldn't escape this fate either."

At this rate, was Miko going to surpass her?

The mere thought made Utaha freeze for a moment.

No way!

She needed to find an opportunity to throw herself into Lynn's bed!

Mahiru was slightly taken aback.

She finally understood the true meaning behind the name of the 'Lynn's Peerage (Familia) Harem' chat group.

She whispered under her breath, "So it really is a full-fledged harem…"

Then, inevitably, her thoughts drifted to herself.

Her face flushed slightly.

Was she… going to end up like that too?

With Miko's magic replenishment taken care of, Lynn turned his attention back to their progress in the Apocalypse World.

It had been half a month since he arrived.

By now, his peerage had explored most of the area around their base.

In fact, the local supply of zombies was starting to run low.

Utaha and Miko were fine since they only trained at night on weekdays.

But Saeko and Shizuka were different. Since they were originally from this world, they didn't have to worry about school or work anymore.

With nothing else to do, all they did was fight and kill zombies.

Well, mostly Saeko.

Before the apocalypse, she had always suppressed her true nature. Now that she could finally let loose, she was going all out with reckless abandon.

Poor Shizuka had been dragged along for the ride and was constantly complaining.

But the results were undeniable.

Saeko's growth rate was insane!

A few days ago, when updating her status, her Strength had broken past SS and reached SSS!

But that also meant she was reaching the limit for a Low-Class Devil.

If she kept going, she wouldn't see much more improvement unless she trained for years.

If today didn't bring any further progress, Lynn decided he would officially rank her up.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten the main reason he brought Mahiru here.

"Mahiru, let's test your abilities."

"Yes!"

Mahiru straightened her back, nervous but determined, clenching her hands together.

It was finally happening.

She had no idea what her abilities would actually be like.

Reading about them wasn't the same as experiencing them firsthand.

"Saeko."

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing Lynn's call, Saeko immediately understood what he wanted.

She launched forward like an arrow, her incredible speed leaving cracks in the ground.

Her physical abilities had improved so much she had practically reached the peak of a Low-Class Devil!

Within minutes, Saeko had lured a group of scattered zombies toward them.

"So these are… zombies?" Mahiru took a deep breath, gripping her hands tightly.

Lynn had already explained the world's situation to her before they arrived.

But facing them in person was a whole different story.

Lynn thought about Mahiru's abilities.

After some consideration, he gave an order: "Rei, bring me a handgun."

"Ah, yes!"

Miyamoto Rei was briefly startled but quickly ran off to grab a weapon.

They had long since discovered the firearms stash in Rika's room.

But Lynn's familia had never needed them.

They had tested them out for fun, then left them to collect dust.

But Mahiru might be different. Her Fallen Wings were undoubtedly a large-scale attack ability.

But the cost would likely be high.

With her magic reserves, she wouldn't be able to use them continuously.

That meant she needed a more precise, low-cost attack option.

Imbuing bullets with magic and using firearms for pinpoint strikes could be a viable approach.

While waiting for the handgun, they had something else to test.

"Mahiru, try summoning your Fallen Angel Wings."

"Okay!"

Mahiru nodded seriously, closing her eyes and focusing on the energy within her.

"Mm…"

Her back tingled—something was coming out!

Whoosh—

Black feathers scattered through the night sky.

A pair of massive black wings, nearly three meters across, emerged from her shoulder blades!

The dark color, so deep and rich, contrasted with Mahiru's naturally pure appearance, creating a strangely enticing blend of holiness and corruption.
