DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch. Chapter 165: Yuuki Asuna?

Supernatural Investigation Club.

Lynn locked the door with magic, then gently patted Himari's head and said, "Take it off."

At those words, a blush instantly rose up Himari's neck, and her feline ears popped out uncontrollably.

"Y-Yes, Master!"

Himari's voice trembled slightly.

She hadn't expected sothing this exciting so soon after swearing loyalty to her new master.

However, Lynn had already explained.

The reincarnation ceremony required the engraving of a Blessing.

She took a few deep breaths, then turned around and slipped off the upper part of her kimono, exposing her smooth back.

Anyway… she'd eventually belong to him either way…

Himari flushed as she tried to comfort herself ntally.

Then she stamred, "M-Master, please engrave your mark on …"

The mont the words left her lips, she felt a cool sensation press against her back. Sothing warm followed imdiately after, as if slowly seeping into her skin.

"Nya~"

Himari raised her chin slightly, her eyes fluttering closed as a soft moan escaped her lips.

At the sa ti, a system notification sounded in Lynn's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Peerage mber Himari acquired!]

[Ding! Peerage mber Himari has reincarnated as a special-type devil!]

As the prompt echoed, a soft glow radiated from Himari's back. Her Blessing information appeared in Lynn's view.

After reading through her Blessing, Lynn nodded with satisfaction.

"As expected of a guardian-type cat girl."

Himari: "?"

She blinked in confusion.

Lynn copied her Blessing data and handed it to her.

After reading through her [Guardian Devil] skill, Himari finally understood what he ant.

"Guardian Devil…"

Himari repeated the term softly, then broke into a smile.

"I really like this ability!"

She looked up at Lynn with shining eyes. "I'll definitely protect Master and everyone in the Peerage!"

"Hmm…"

Lynn rested his chin on his hand and smiled. "I can feel your resolve…"

"So…"

"Put your clothes back on first."

"Nya!!"

Himari yelped, face flushed deep red.

In the next mont, she reverted to her white-haired feline form and curled up on the desk, softly whimpering in embarrassnt.

Seeing that, Lynn chuckled.

A mont later.

---

[Ding! Guardian cat girl Himari has joined the group chat!]

Inukimi: ?!

----

In the Warring States Period, Inukimi stared blankly at the notification.

She was away on business for just a short while and her house got robbed again?

Even worse.

"Another damn cat?!"

A surge of alarm rose in Inukimi's heart.

"No! I can't let cats dominate Master's Peerage!"

"This ans war!"

Her eyes turned serious.

She needed reinforcents.

Where were the dog girls?!

The group chat continued to buzz.

----

Kasumigaoka Utaha: Congrats on acquiring another pet, Master.

Midori Fuse: Welco.

Youtsuya Miko: Another fine warrior joins the Cult of Cats. Welco.

---

Tokyo. A café.

Utaha put down her phone.

After finishing things in the Demon Slayer world, she had taken a short vacation.

She was currently having coffee with Machida Sonoko.

"Illustrator?"

Utaha casually waved a hand. "Just grab soone random."

Money didn't interest her anymore.

Since Haruno took over Peerage finances, everyone got a steady monthly allowance. Her novel royalties were nothing in comparison.

She still wrote, but it was purely for fun.

That said…

An idea ca to her.

"How's Shiina Mashiro doing lately?" Utaha asked.

Machida Sonoko flinched. "Utaha, we're just a light novel publisher. We can't afford a world-famous artist!"

Utaha smirked.

We're from the sa Peerage. What's impossible?

But she kept that thought to herself.

Machida Sonoko patted her chest confidently. "Don't worry! I already arranged soone you'll definitely like!"

"…Fine."

Utaha stirred her coffee lazily.

A few monts later.

A girl with twin blonde pigtails ca running in, panting.

"Sorry, sorry! The traffic was awful so I'm a bit late!"

Utaha raised an eyebrow. "First-year, Sawamura-san?"

"Huh?"

Eriri blinked in surprise, then looked up.

Seeing Utaha, her eyes widened. "Second-year... Kasumigaoka-senpai?!"

Utaha's lips curled slightly.

The evil piece within her, tied to Lynn's authority, pulsed.

It was indicating sothing.

This girl—Sawamura Eriri—had potential as one of Lynn's future harem mbers.

While Eriri and Machida chatted, Utaha posted in the group chat:

---

Kasumigaoka Utaha: Ah~ I accidentally discovered another future harem candidate for Master.

Inukimi: ?

Yotsuya Miko: …

The group went silent.

---

Shuchiin, Student Council Room.

A refined girl with chestnut brown hair sat in the seat of authority.

Across from her, Kaguya Shinomiya held her teacup with a frigid expression.

Sitting nearby, a large pink-haired girl took a sip of tea, then suddenly yelped, sticking out her tongue.

"Hot!"

Yuuki Asuna chuckled at her antics.

Bang!

Kaguya suddenly slamd her cup down on the table.

"Asuna, what do you think about the Supernatural Investigation Club?"

Her voice was icy, chilling the entire room.

Yuuki Asuna blinked, a little taken aback.

The Supernatural Investigation Club?

She had heard of it.

It was hard not to, considering how all its mbers were gorgeous girls… and it had a very infamous nickna.

The Harem Club.

Her expression turned odd. Why had Kaguya brought it up all of a sudden?

After thinking for a bit, Asuna smiled gently. "I've heard of it. But I don't know the details."

Her voice was as warm as sunlight, lting the tension in the room.

Fujiwara Chika, caught between the icy chill and gentle warmth, suddenly had a genius idea.

In sumr, stay near Kaguya. In winter, cling to the president!

Cool in sumr. Warm in winter. Perfect!

She bead.

anwhile, Kaguya's expression didn't thaw in the slightest.

She said coldly, "You've heard the rumors about the harem, haven't you?"

Asuna rested her chin in her hand and nodded.

"That's no rumor," Kaguya declared sternly.

"There are eyewitnesses. The club's improper relationships with their male minister are real."

"Such a club is a disgrace to Shuchiin's reputation!"

Her passionate rant left both Asuna and Chika stunned.

But…

Having known Kaguya for a while, they couldn't help but feel sothing was off.

Maybe…

Soone in the Supernatural Investigation Club offended her?

Asuna coughed lightly and said, "I understand."

"So, do you want the Student Council to disband the club?"

Kaguya remained silent, but her expression said it all.

Asuna smiled again. "If what you say is true, then yes, such a club can't be allowed."

Kaguya nodded, satisfied.

"But—"

Kaguya: "?"

Asuna changed her tone. "Without proper investigation, we can't act."

As president, she couldn't just disband a club on hearsay.

"How about this…"

After thinking it over, she said, "I'll go to the Supernatural Investigation Club myself tomorrow and conduct a full inspection."

"If the allegations are true, they will be disbanded imdiately."

Asuna's tone was firm.

Kaguya pursed her lips but didn't object.

Though it wasn't imdiate, the result would be the sa.

After all…

In her eyes, the club's relationships were far too indecent.

At the side, Chika's eyes lit up.

The Supernatural Investigation Club…

Where have I heard that na before…?

Bang!

Suddenly, the student council room door flew open.

A petite girl with long black hair walked in.

She paused at the atmosphere in the room, then grinned. "Looks like I missed sothing fun."

"Ahem!"

Yuki Suou cleared her throat, drawing attention as she stepped in. "So, who wants to catch up on what's going on?"

Asuna smiled and quickly filled her in on everything regarding the Supernatural Investigation Club.

After hearing it all, Yuki Suou narrowed her eyes.

"The president of that club…"

"His na is Lynn, right?"

Asuna blinked. "You know him?"

Yuki Suou suddenly smiled like a mischievous noblewoman. She looked at Kaguya with a strange glint in her eyes and patted her shoulder.

"Kaguya… you're quite brave."

Kaguya: "?"

She frowned, clearly annoyed. "What are you even talking about?"

"Ah!"

Chika suddenly shouted. "I rember now! The old school building incident—that was solved by the Supernatural Investigation Club!"
