Yuuna's sharp gaze stayed fixed on the glowing magic circle hovering before her. The circle emitted a deep red light, pulsating faintly as it spread its glow across the room. It was a detection spell, one she used to monitor her territory—the city she ruled. Like all ruling demons, Yuuna was responsible for her domain, protecting it at all costs. This city wasn't just another human settlent; it held an entrance to Hell itself, making it a critical area to defend.
Her eyes narrowed as she noticed the faintest disturbance ripple through the circle. It was small, almost negligible, but it existed. A disturbance in the magic ant trouble. If there were nothing wrong, the circle wouldn't be reacting at all.
No human could trigger such a disturbance; that much was clear. Angels and fallen angels, however, were a different matter. Only beings with divine energy could cause such ripples within her area of control. That ant an angel—or perhaps a fallen angel—had entered her domain and used their powers.
After a few minutes, everyone in the Saonji Mansion finally gathered in the living room. Kozue, Hina, Nagisa, Kouhei, and Aria stood around her, their expressions shifting as their eyes fell on the red circle. For everyone except Kouhei, the glowing circle was a clear warning sign.
"I've called you all here because of this," Yuuna said, her tone steady but firm. She pointed at the circle, specifically at the blinking red light that was spreading slowly from a pinpointed area. "An anomaly occurred here."
"Uh… What's an anomaly?" Kouhei asked, his brow furrowed in confusion. As soone new to their world, it made sense he wouldn't know.
"When soone from the enemy side uses divine powers within the area I rule, this circle detects it. Think of it like Electronic Article Surveillance systems—those alarms in stores that go off if soone tries to steal. This magic works the sa way, except it catches divine energy instead of shoplifters. When sothing like this happens, the circle lights up to show the disturbance."
"Oh… I get it now."
The explanation might've been a little technical, but Kouhei understood enough to grasp the situation. Danger was brewing. It reminded him of the ti when an angel had attacked him and Hina before.
"Unfortunately, there aren't any surveillance spells or caras in the area to show exactly what caused this disturbance," Yuuna continued, her voice tinged with frustration. "What I do know is that it happened near the school. That's concerning. If soone used divine powers there, it's likely they ca because of you, Kouhei-kun."
Her gaze settled on him, sharp but tinged with sothing protective. As the child of anti-prophecy—the one thing that could turn the tide against Heaven in their endless war—it was no surprise that he'd attract trouble.
"I can't say for sure if it was an angel or a fallen angel," Yuuna admitted, folding her arms. "Fallen angels usually don't concern themselves much with the battle between Heaven and Hell, but that doesn't make them any less dangerous. In fact, they're just as much of a threat to us as the angels. So, I'm asking all of you to keep an eye out for anything unusual."
Yuuna turned her gaze to Hina and Nagisa, then finally to Kouhei.
"And also," she said, her voice calm but firm, "no having sex with Kouhei-kun for now."
"W-What...?" Hina's reaction was imdiate, her voice trembling as though the very foundation of her existence had crumbled. "B-But why...?"
Kozue blinked in shock, utterly taken aback by Hina's reaction. This wasn't the Hina she knew. The usually cold, expressionless, and emotionless succubus now looked like her entire world had shattered just from being cockblocked. Of course, Kozue didn't know the term cockblocked, but it perfectly described what had just happened. Hina, the succubus who couldn't even touch anyone without making them cum instantly—and potentially killing them with prolonged contact—was now reacting like this to sothing so trivial. It was like she had transford into a completely different person.
Yuuna, on the other hand, found the entire situation highly entertaining. Seeing Hina, of all people, making such expressions was rare enough. Even during sex, Hina only showed signs of enjoynt, and she didn't mind Kouhei fucking other won. But now? Now, Hina was showing raw emotion, and it was surreal. Yuuna had to stifle a laugh at the sight.
"Because of the situation," Yuuna explained evenly.
None of them truly understood how serious things could get. For all they knew, the disturbance could be the prelude to sothing catastrophic—or it could turn out to be a minor anomaly not worth worrying about. Either way, they needed to prepare. Until they could investigate and confirm the severity of the situation, sex was off the table—for Hina and even for Yuuna herself.
"We need to focus on this," Yuuna continued. "Not on giving in to debauchery. It'd be a disaster if we got attacked while we were in the middle of having sex. That's why I'm forbidding sex until we figure out what's really happening."
"Ehhhh~?"
Hina actually pouted. The icy succubus, who typically looked untouchable, was now sulking like a child denied a toy. It was such an amusing sight that Yuuna couldn't help but chuckle softly.

That night, Kouhei lay in bed, his mind replaying the events of the day. He still couldn't believe how close he'd co to having sex with both Hina and Nagisa earlier. It gnawed at him, the realization of his own selfishness.
'I don't deserve any of this, do I?' he thought bitterly. All of it—the attention, the won—was because he was the child of anti-prophecy. If he weren't, none of this would be happening. And yet, despite having Hina and Yuuna, he'd still touched Nagisa.
As he wrestled with his guilt, the door to his room creaked open. His heart skipped a beat as a figure entered—a woman whose flawless body seed to glow, even in the dim light.
She wore nothing but a sheer black negligee that left little to the imagination. The see-through fabric revealed hints of her black bra and panties underneath, teasing yet enticing. Her golden hair shimred like spun silk in the faint light, and her crimson-red eyes seed to pierce through the darkness.
It was Yuuna.
"Y-Yuuna-san, um... why are you here?" Kouhei stamred, his voice caught between confusion and nervousness.
Yuuna had told both Hina and Kouhei that there'd be no sex tonight. Hina had pouted as she reluctantly returned to her original room—a place she hadn't used in a while. It felt cold and a bit dusty, likely because she'd been sleeping in Kouhei's bed for so long. It made sense, given how inconvenient it would've been to go back to her own room after having sex with him all night. But now, it was biting her in the ass.
While Hina was sulking, Yuuna had slipped into Kouhei's room for so reason. And she wasn't just there; she was dressed provocatively. A sheer negligee hugged her body, leaving very little to the imagination. Her bra and panties were visible beneath it, the black lace teasing him in the dim light. This could only an one thing—or so Kouhei thought.
"I'm here to sleep," she said casually. "That's okay, right? Just sleeping. Besides, I can guard you this way, too."
Oh. So that was it. Kouhei felt his initial thoughts fizzle out.
"Well, sure. You can sleep here," he said.
"Thank you."
Yuuna stepped in, shutting the door behind her before sliding into bed beside him. As soon as she did, Kouhei caught the subtle but intoxicating scent of her soap and shampoo. The sweet aroma clung to her skin, threatening to overwhelm his senses. Normally, that alone would've driven him wild, but after what had happened earlier with Nagisa, he held himself back.
What he'd done earlier—it still weighed on him. Sure, he'd had Hina's permission, but Yuuna was his girlfriend too. What he'd done felt like cheating, plain and simple.
"Um, Yuuna-san, I need to apologize," Kouhei said hesitantly.
Yuuna rested her head against his shoulder, her soft hair brushing his skin. She smiled warmly, her eyes half-closed, completely at ease.
"What for?" she asked. "Is it about Nagisa?"
"Y-You already know?"
"Hina told ," Yuuna said with a light chuckle. "She even ntioned she wants you and Nagisa to be together. Hina really loves you, you know. She's willing to encourage you to have as many won as possible. You're building a harem, Kouhei-kun. Isn't that what every guy dreams of?"
"Of course I'm happy," Kouhei admitted, "but..."
"You're worried about what's 'normal,' aren't you?" Yuuna said knowingly. "Societal norms don't matter to us. We're demons, rember? We don't see things the way humans do. You don't have to hold back for our sakes. Sure, we can get jealous, but when that happens, all you need to do is spoil us rotten. Simple, right?"
That's right. They were demons. Kouhei, on the other hand, was still clinging to his human mindset, trying to navigate this strange new reality. Their beliefs were bound to be different from his.
"You're really okay with having a harem?" Kouhei asked.
"Not just okay," Yuuna replied with a smirk, snuggling closer. "I'm actively encouraging it. You don't have to worry about us. Just follow your desires, Kouhei-kun."
"Follow my desires...?"
"Yes." Yuuna's crimson eyes locked onto his. "Tell , Kouhei-kun. What is it that you truly desire?"
Kouhei felt his heart race. Her words unlocked sothing within him, breaking down the walls he'd tried to build. The desire he'd been suppressing bubbled to the surface, unstoppable now that Yuuna had coaxed it out of him.
"I... I want you, Yuuna-san. I want Hina-san too."
He paused, his throat dry.
"And?" Yuuna asked gently, her smile warm, urging him to continue.
"And... I want Kiyohara-san."
