"Yes, I've been thinking about this for a while, and I've devised a great plan, if I may say so myself. It will be held at the perilous Mount Takao, the place you've been so eager to visit," my father said.
"So that ans…?" I muttered.
"Yes, it's both an Entrance Exam and an opportunity to conquer that energy-rich territory," he explained. "A large clan of Oni resides there, descendants of Shuten Douji, who have been causing significant trouble for both the orthodox and criminal clans here."
"So I'm going, then," I said.
"I knew you'd want to go, and you've earned the right as well," he said, smiling. "You'll also supervise the exam."
"Wow, Dad, you trust that much?" I asked.
"Naturally, you've demonstrated your remarkable power," he said. "As a mber of the family, you'll have responsibilities like these as well."
"Sounds great!" I said. "And there'll be many new faces. I'm eager to see what new talents we might discover."
" too," he said with a nod. "More importantly, it serves another purpose."
"What?" I asked.
"We've talked enough. Sit down, eat, then co to my office," he said, walking away.
"Ah… well, alright," I nodded. "Sorry about that, girls. I bet the food's cold now."
"We can reheat it with magic, don't worry, young lady," Isna said.
"Um, about… what you discussed with your father," Acelina said nervously. "About whom you plan to… choose as your lover…"
"Ah, right… did you want to tell him? I could try—"
"Please don't!" both maids exclaid in panic.
"Not for now…" Isna said. "Let's… take it slow. I don't want it to be official yet, please."
" too…" Acelina nodded. "We've only just begun…"
"Right… was I being too hasty? Sorry," I said.
"It's fine," Isna smiled. "We know you're serious about this… we've talked a lot lately about our feelings for you, young lady."
"We'd like to go on a triple date one day…?" Acelina asked. "Just the three of us!"
"Oh! That sounds wonderful! Why not?" I nodded. "When?"
"We're still thinking about it…" Isna said.
"Yeah… but we don't want to raise suspicion among the other mbers," Acelina said.
"Suspicion? I'm the boss's daughter. If anyone gets upset about it, they can co to , and I'll handle it," I said with a smile. "My father won't mind going out with my maids. He trusts you girls a great deal."
"That's a relief," Isna sighed.
"W-We didn't expect you to defend us like that. Thank you," Acelina said with a smile.
"Aw, co on, don't act so surprised. Why wouldn't I stand up for you?" I said. "Now, let's eat together. There's plenty for all three of us."
"Well, if you insist," Acelina giggled, sitting on my lap. "Fufu."
She was the more playful of the two. Her personality remained much the sa as before, honestly, but perhaps even bolder and more playful now.
"What a charming maid I have," I said, as she kissed my lips affectionately while I held her hips firmly. Her thighs were notably muscular.
"H-Hey, Acelina, you're getting too bold…" Isna said, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"You can sit here too," I said. "I've got two legs, after all~"
"…"
Though she seed embarrassed, she eventually joined us, and I took turns kissing them both while they fed waffles and pancakes, and I sipped green tea.
This is the life…

After breakfast, I headed to my father's office, where I found him reviewing docunts, surrounded by the trio and a few other mbers of our organization, along with his personal secretary—a woman with elf-like ears, long blonde hair, and gentle erald eyes.
She resembled Elfina, but sothing felt off about her. The aura I expected her to emit was entirely different. Instead, a foul black and dark red energy radiated from her…
It seed as though her appearance was rely an illusion.
A shapeshifter, perhaps? Or sothing else?
"Good morning, young lady," dea greeted , reviewing docunts and preparing invitation letters. "Or, well, good evening? I'm unsure of the ti right now."
"That's quite alright, dea," I said. "I ca to see Dad. He asked to co to his office so he could explain the details of the entrance exam."
"Oh, right," Frankenstein said, adjusting his glasses. "Hello, young lady. Sorry, I was too focused on this. I regret not assisting during the raid on that god. Your father instructed us to protect the territory while he was away."
"Hm," Wasp said with a silent nod. He sat at another desk, typing rapidly on a small laptop while reviewing papers. He looked tired and irritated but didn't complain.
Wow, this was the first ti I'd seen them doing actual office work. This is a business, after all, and they need these skills too.
But it was still a bit surprising, especially since I'd always thought they only fought.
"Oh, I see, don't worry about it," I said. "You were probably still recovering from the beating I gave you all."
"…"
"…"
"…"
They fell silent, looking slightly embarrassed by my comnt. I suppose they were still processing that.
"Oops, sorry, was that too harsh?" I asked.
"No, it's quite alright. You are indeed formidable, young lady," dea said with a gentle smile.
"Hello, dear," my father said, setting aside his work and sipping coffee. "Everyone except the trio and my secretary, please leave for now."
At his command, the large office cleared up, leaving only my father, the boss, and his four trusted retainers.
"Welco, young lady. I've heard much about you," the elf-like secretary said. "You've likely seen a few tis, but I work so much we've never spoken. The clan is vast, after all."
"Ah, yeah…" I said. "I recall seeing you a couple of tis before."
"That's wonderful," she said with a nod. "My na is Mirabilis. I'm your father's charming secretary~ Fufu!"
For so reason, she bumped my father's shoulder with her hip, prompting only a slight irritation from him. The chaos flas above his head turned purple.
"Mirabilis, don't do that again."
"I'm so sorry… I was only trying to make her laugh."
She quickly bowed before him and then slowly rose after he sighed.
"Sorry, she's… or he is, an oddball, but who isn't in this clan?" he said thoughtfully. "Show her your true form."
"A-Are you sure?" Mirabilis asked.
"Just do it. She'll understand," my father said.
"Very well," Mirabilis said with a nod. Her body lted into a black puddle of sludge, then swiftly reassembled into a writhing mass of black tentacles with green eyes and sharp jaws, struggling to take on a humanoid shape.
What the hell?
Is she an Outer God?!
