In front of Himiko's apartment building in the evening, Zeno ended up accompanying Himiko home after their date as right now they are facing each other in front of the building. Himiko had a happy smile on her face as she enjoyed the date with him a lot. She feels that they are also quite compatible with each other, maybe?
"Thank you very much for going out with me today."
Himiko said with a happy expression and a little blush on her cheeks while her hand still holding his hand, she not letting go even for a moment. Zeno is not sure if she did it subconsciously or deliberately at this point.
"No problem Murabiki-san, I'm enjoying our time together as well."
Zeno smiled while wondering when she would let go of his hand so he could go home. Himiko didn't notice the awkward situation she caused and smiled even more brightly at him. She was glad that she was brave enough to invite him on a date with her after the first failure.
"I'm glad you also enjoy our...!"
Himiko paused and then seemed to realize something after three seconds of stillness that caused Zeno to see an illusion of the buffering icon displayed above her head. Himiko realized that she was not actually on a date with him and she hadn't bought a friend's birthday gift that she had put up as an excuse to invite him out also. Her entire face starts to go red as she feels mortified and wants to run away. He definitely noticed her blunder but still went along with it the entire time.
"Ah... ahh... I-I... I'm... umm... It's nothing..."
She glanced at Zeno's face and saw him watching her with curiosity. She gulped the excuse that was about to come out of her mouth and looked at him with cute upturned eyes, hoping that he would ignore her weirdness just now. Zeno seemed to get her signal as he nodded his head.
"Alright, Murabiki-san, I will head back now, see you later."
"Ah, y-yes, please be careful on your way back."
She replied in relief, expecting him to turn around and go on his way but he still standing in front of her even though ten seconds had already passed. Himiko was confused while Zeno had a wry look on his face. His hand was still in her hand after all. Does he have to tell her?
"Ano... eto..."
Himiko muttered as she thought furiously as to why he still standing in front of her before she realized something important. With a blushing face and shy expression, Himiko closed her eyes and leaned forward with her face pointing upward toward him, her pink lips puckering for a kiss.
Himiko Murabiki had realized that after a date there is a goodbye kiss.
"..."
Zeno watched the girl in front of him with an amazed expression. This girl's boldness as well as her obliviousness really amazed him. He then smirked in amusement at the situation. Well, he not going to refuse her kiss if she is offering it to him by herself.
He leans his face to her and kisses her alluring pink lips. Their lips touch as Himiko's face and even her ears turn red. She was so excited and happy that she finally had her first kiss with a man and also her crush on top of that. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she warped her arms around his neck. She savors the feeling of his soft lips and the warmth of his body almost greedily.
Her hand finally let go of his hand.
"Chuchu... mmmhn... chu... ahh..."
Their kiss was a vanilla one that lasted around three minutes before Zeno separated their lips. Himiko has a fervor expression on her face as she locks eyes with him, her tongue licking her glossy pink lips. Seeing her like this makes Zeno want to claim her body right here right now. Seeing the predatory look in his icy blue eyes on her made Himiko shudder slightly.
"A-Ano... Zavior-san..."
Himiko felt like a small animal about to be devoured whole by a large predator. Strangely she grew more excited as her face flushed red with dreamy expression. Zeno breathed in deeply as he calmed his growing lust. He can't just do her right here on the outside.
"Murabiki-san, do you want me to help escort you inside?"
"Ahnn... I-I'm..."
He whispered as his hands touched her waist and lowered them to her wide hips. Himiko knew what he meant by "help" and she was temp to agree but she was also not ready for that yet. She hadn't prepared her heart, her body, and her mind for that level of intimacy.
"I-I'm sorry, Zavior-san I-Mmmhn...! Chuchu...! Ahh... chu... chuchu... chupa...!"
When she was about to refuse him, Zeno suddenly pulled her closer and kissed her passionately. He was disappointed that he couldn't eat her today but he also not going to let her off so easily as the price of blue-balling him. His tongue invaded her mouth forcefully, ravishing inside it without any reservation. Himiko was taken by surprise and quickly lost herself to the intense simulation that she had never felt before. Zeno's hands went to her butt and start squeezing them as she helplessly got dominated by a kiss.
"Ahhh...! Z-Zavior-san...! Chuchu... mmmhn... chuchu... ahn..."
She moans as she feels her self-control start to fail her. Her arms hugged his body tightly as her big breasts pressed against him, the two hard tips rubbing on his chest. Zeno then suddenly stops and withdraws from her lips with a saliva bridge dropping down between them. Himiko with her foggy glasses panted heavily as she dazedly looked at him with a blushing face.
"Sweet dream, Murabiki-san."
"Muuuu~"
Zeno said with a smirk on his somewhat attractive face while giving her soft butt another squeeze and then separated himself from her. Himiko who regained her senses glared at him cutely as she felt the weird mix of frustration, embarrassment, and arousal after such an intense lewd kiss. She doesn't expect that he will do this to her and just leave.
Is this payback for her refusing him? How petty. Himiko then decided to do the sensible thing in this situation and ran away in shame while becoming even more embarrassed as she felt the dampness in her panties.
Zeno chuckles as he watches Himiko running away inside the building. He then turned around and went home. His maids will definitely be delighted to know that their master is quite eager to vent his lust on them right now.

The next day at a random alleyway in Kuoh Town, the stray devil that looked like an ugly orc with dull grey skin and very muscular was crawling desperately on the ground as its legs were cut off cleanly. The stray devil is making a blood trail as it crawls on the dirty alleyway.
Then a magic circle suddenly materialized around its neck while the stray devil screamed in fear before a powerful force twisted its neck as its head spun 360 degrees, killing it instantly on the spot.
"Hehehe~ target eliminated!"
An upbeat voice sounded above the stray devil as Charmie flew down from the top of the building before Noa followed her down later. They folded their wings as they walked closer to the dead stray devil.
"Let's chop it head off and go find some more stray devils."
"Yup."
Noa said as she put down the icebox she carried. Charmie responds with a thump up to Noa before she casts a spell as a magic circle materializes around the dead stray devil's neck again and decapitates it. Seeing that, Noa opened the icebox and then Charmie cast a telekinesis spell as she picked up the severed head and placed it inside the icebox along with the other two frozen heads that they already collected before this one.
"Let's go."
"Yes~"
Noa said as she closed the icebox after she had frozen the severed head like the other two while Charmie burned the body with fire. Then the two fallen angels flew up to the sky and disappeared through the cloud.
Today the population of stray devils was reduced by more than half since Zeno and his maids were actively hunting them for money to buy supplies for the one-year training in the time chamber.

On the rooftop of a school building in Kuoh Academy, Zeno and his maids could be seen with a stack of iceboxes as they faced Sona and her peerage members. Sona looked at the stack of iceboxes with mixed feelings, she was baffled and displeased that her territory had this many stray devils hiding in the town without her knowing.
"How...?"
She muttered quietly, perplexed as to how the stray devils managed to infiltrate the town so easily. Is she the one who is bad at governing or is the town barrier faulty? She will have to investigate after this.
While she was brooding Zeno walked up to her with a paper in his hand. She looked up at him with curiosity as she received the paper from him.
"It is the list of the ones with a bounty on them, you can check it."
Zeno told her as she took a glance at the paper's content. She could see pictures of a frozen head with a name and which box contained the head on it. The bounty hunts were quite easy this time since the targets were all only wanted dead.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zavior-san."
Sona then bowed her head with gratitude for his efforts to eliminate the stray devils. Zeno nodded and turned to his maids as they currently playing rock paper scissors with each other. He wonders what they betting this time.
"Zavior-san, can you tell me about the other two of your companions?"
Sona sees him looking toward his companions and also grows curious about them. She doesn't know the one with black hair and the small one with blonde hair so she decides to ask him about them. Zeno turned to her and found no problem with that.
"Yes, the one with black hair is Noa and the small one with blonde hair is Charmie. They are both half-fallen like Leila. I found them in my travels and decided to recruit them in my group."
"I see."
Sona nodded while she noted that it was quite a coincidence that they all were hybrid. Or perhaps this is his fetish? She glances at him subtly.
Next chapter Zeno will finally create clones of Irina and Xenovia.
