Chapter 78 - Chapter 145: Cat Family

Kuoh Academy

Occult Research Club

Seeing Koneko's figure return, Rias was a little surprised and asked, "You're back so early today?"

Koneko pursed her lips and let out a soft hum.

Noticing this, Rias raised her eyebrows and exchanged a glance with Akeno, silently conveying.

Something's wrong.

Akeno gave a subtle nod, but…

If Koneko didn't want to say anything, they wouldn't pry.

Koneko gradually calmed down.

Then her thoughts became tangled again.

The others probably didn't know yet, right?

Lynn senpai's strength.

Even the power of Lynn's Peerage …

Including her sister, there were already three Ultimate-Class Devils!

This…

This lineup was practically on par with the Four Great Maou of the Underworld!

The more she thought about it, the more shaken she felt.

Senpai, how did you do it?

She clearly remembered that when they first met, he was only a Mid-Class Devil.

How could he grow so fast?

She took a few deep breaths, hesitating whether to report this to Rias.

If the President knew, she'd definitely be shocked too. But…

She thought of Kuroka.

If word about her sister got out, it could cause trouble for Lynn.

Even though she trusted Rias and Akeno, still…

Better to forget it...

The Next Day

Lynn stepped out of the bedroom, feeling completely refreshed.

Kuroka darted out as if she had smelled something, sniffing the scent on Lynn with a resentful glare.

Before she could say anything, a dog head poked out of Lynn's arms and silently stared at her.

"Nya?"

Kuroka was stunned. "When did you get in there?"

Inukimi snorted and coldly ignored her.

Kuroka pouted and wrinkled her nose, grumbling, "You're not even going to join the fight, so what's the point of being in there? Useless."

If it were her, she would've joined the battle long ago. But…

Kuroka was deep in thought.

Maybe this is a solution?

She had just joined the Peerage yesterday and took time to understand the current situation.

Besides the absurd world invasion plan, there were also so many stunning girls…

A complete harem!

If things kept going one by one like this, when would it be her turn?

So…

They needed to fight together! Of course,

There's no way she and that cold fox could ever appear on the same battlefield!

Becoming comrades? Impossible!

Kuroka's golden vertical pupils shifted around as a sly smile curved her lips.

Allies, huh…?

The first one she thought of—Shirone.

When sisters are united, they can overcome anything! Not to mention…

She clearly saw how Shirone reacted to Lynn.

Wagging her tail, raising her ears whenever he got close.

She had completely become Lynn's pet! But…

Kuroka was more than happy to see that.

A strong bloodline needs more vessels to carry it! Of course,

More importantly.

It's Lynn's overwhelming strength.

Whether it was the Blessings he granted, or his ability to invade and conquer worlds…

Before meeting Lynn, she couldn't even imagine these things.

Now, following a master like him, she didn't even dare to guess how high she could rise!

Even peeking into other worlds was possible!

Just thinking about it made her shiver.

Her desire to continue Lynn's bloodline grew stronger and stronger. Meow~!

So…

Shirone had to be brought into Lynn's cat family too!

As her older sister, she had to lead her little sister onto the right path.

Following Lynn was the true way of life, meow!

As for that red-haired princess? Totally useless.

Not even worth one strand of Lynn's hair!

As for Shirone still being underage…

Kuroka blinked, tapped her chin with a finger, and muttered, "Why not just let Shirone raise her butt a little…"

That way, she can get a little more involved…

Afternoon

Lynn suddenly received a message.

Warring States Miko: Master, we've successfully captured Muzan Kibutsuji!

Warring States Miko: [Picture].jpg

Sigma Man: You girls are really fast.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: This guy wasn't that smart. We tricked him easily.

Demon Slayer World

Muzan was trapped within a purifying barrier, his face twisted with gloom.

The sudden appearance of the Devil Cult had crushed the ecosystem of demons with overwhelming force!

As the Demon King, he should have stood up to fight, but…

These women were more terrifying than anything he'd ever faced!

He especially remembered what happened when Upper Rank Six fell.

A woman with a black book waved at him once.

A lightning bolt fell from the sky like divine punishment!

Bang!

Upper Rank Six.

Instantly turned to ashes!

All that lore about "not dying unless exposed to the sun or killed by a Nichirin Blade"?

It didn't apply at all against these women!

So, he could only watch as his subordinates were wiped out one by one.

Using them to probe the Devil Cult's limits.

That was his strategy.

Worst case? He'd just hide for a few thousand years. He could afford it.

And then…

He picked up a devil cult flyer and brought it back to the Infinity Castle.

Who would've thought.

An ordinary piece of paper could actually summon a horde of devils!

He didn't even have time to run.

Those fanatics held him down, shouting "For the Devil Cult!" and "For the glory of Lord Lynn's will!"

The worst part—

The barrier they trapped him in radiated a sun-like aura that made his skin crawl.

If he tried to break out…

He would die.

His instincts screamed it!

Kocho Shinobu stood before the imprisoned Muzan, eyes empty with disbelief.

These days felt like a dream.

When did demons become so weak?

Thousands of years.

The Demon Slayer Corps had been fighting Muzan for so long.

Yet he was taken down by the Devil Cult like some low-class demon.

Does that mean…

From now on, there would be no more demons in this world?

Was her long-held hatred finally resolved?

"…Onee-sama…"

Shinobu turned toward Kanae, eyes blank.

Kanae gently smiled and stroked her head.

"All of this was brought to us by Master Lynn~"

"Mm!"

Shinobu nodded earnestly.

The moment Muzan was judged, the invasion rate of the Demon Slayer World surged! But…

[73.23%]

Once it reached that, the invasion rate began to slow down.

The rest could only be achieved with time.

...

A Few Days Later

Kuoh Town

Kuroka hid in a tree and reached out to the figure of Shirone she'd called out.

"Shirone, I'm here to pick you up, meow~!"

Koneko: "?"
