The Sekirei’s Covenant

After staying in Milan for two days and finally getting rid of those annoying people, Sora embarked on his journey home.

Unlike when he first arrived and was chased by police officers after going through security, and had to sneak and wander to get to Italy, now he, Sora, was returning home in glory. He had a private plane escorting him both ways, arranged by those magic societies. They were even afraid he would refuse!

Erica was also with him. Having inherited the title of "Crimson Devil," she was ordered by the "Bronze-Black Cross" to serve by the King's side forever on behalf of the society.

Of course, rather than being seen as a knight, people valued her more as the King's lover. The value of a queen was far greater than that of a knight!

Besides Erica, Arianna, Erica's little maid, also came along. Seeing the maid busy serving him and Erica, Sora felt a little embarrassed. This maid seemed a bit like a dowry girl!

Uh, hopefully, it was just Sora's illusion. Although he didn't know if he would degenerate in the future, at least for now, let him remain pure for a while longer, sigh…

Thinking back now, Sora was quite emotional. He had only intended to deliver a broken stone tablet, but who would have thought it would cause so many things?!

First, he was stranded in England and met the yandere Princess Alice. Then he came to Sardinia and met Erica and the unscrupulous witch Zola.

Up to this point, everything was still normal, but he actually encountered a Heretic God, even blasted away Melqart, and fought with the War God Verethragna. He even entered some strange state and defeated him, becoming the seventh God-Slaying Demon King in the world!

As for the matter of the King of Swords, Doni, well, that guy was just a brat. Sora was already speechless about the mess he had caused!

Perhaps this was fate. A wild yet heroic figure of a girl couldn't help but appear in his mind. It was Seishuuin Ena, the "Hime Miko of the Sword," with whom he had made a promise.

Perhaps neither of them took it too seriously at the time, but would she really keep the promise they made? Although he didn't have much hope, a small expectation couldn't help but arise in Sora's heart…

…

"Hey, Shizuka, open the door quickly, I'm back!"

Returning to his small courtyard, although it was a bit ordinary and poor, it gave Sora a warm feeling. He was already a little impatient, knocking on the door and shouting loudly.

Clatter, clatter, clatter… bang, bang, bang…

There was a sound of pots and pans being knocked over inside, followed by a rush of footsteps. With a click, the door was pulled open, and a small figure rushed out and threw herself into Sora's arms.

"Wuwuwu… You hateful Onii-chan, you finally came back? I thought you died outside! You haven't been back for so long, and I couldn't reach you by phone. Why are you back?!"

Two small fists pounded on Sora's chest. Although her tone was full of endless resentment, the girl's expression was full of endless excitement and joy.

"Ah… I was wrong, I was wrong! Girl, didn't I come back?"

"So many things happened this time. I'll explain everything to you later. Please stop crying, my lady, I apologize! I repent!"

Seeing Shizuka's tear-streaked face, Sora was in a fluster.

There were dark circles under the girl's eyes, and she looked haggard. It was clear that she had been worried sick these past few days. Sora felt both touched and ashamed.

"Hmph! This is what Onii-chan said yourself. If you don't explain clearly and make me happy, I'll never forgive you!"

Feeling a little better, she wiped the tears from her face. Shizuka pouted her little mouth and said in a spoiled yet fierce manner.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say, my lady. I will definitely explain clearly and make you happy."

Although he usually liked to "bully" this cute and unique Shizuka-chan, Sora didn't dare to disobey this queen-like sister at all now. It was his own fault for making her worry and miss him for so long!

"Hey… Is this Shizuka-chan? She's really a good sister who cares about her brother!"

"I'm Erica Blandelli. Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

Erica's voice came from the side. She stroked Shizuka's little head and said with a smile.

Shizuka had only been focused on Sora and hadn't noticed anyone else. When she heard the voice, Shizuka-chan realized there were others. She quickly got off Sora and stood properly, looking polite and generous. She had intended to introduce herself and return the greeting, but when she saw Erica's appearance, Shizuka-chan couldn't speak anymore.

What a beautiful older sister! This was the only thought that echoed in the girl's mind.

Golden hair and blue eyes, exquisite beauty, a perfect and curvy figure, and the elegance and nobility of a queen. It had to be said that Erica had absolute capital to be proud of in every aspect. Even Shizuka-chan, who was also a girl, was deeply shocked and couldn't extricate herself.

"I am Arianna Hayama Arialdi, the maid of Lady Erica and Lord Sora. Miss Shizuka, please take care of me in the future as well."

The maid, Arianna, also stepped forward, bowed to Shizuka, and politely introduced herself.

What a cute maid!

She nodded blankly. Although her first thought was to wonder if the other person was cosplaying, Shizuka-chan immediately dismissed that idea.

Both the other person's demeanor and temperament spoke of an undeniable fact: she was a professional!

"H-hello, I'm Kusanagi Shizuka, please take care of me!"

Feeling her little heart pounding, Shizuka-chan, who had come back to her senses, quickly returned the greeting to the two girls. Her little face was flushed, both nervous and a little excited.

Whether it was the queen-like Erica or the pure and cute maid Arianna, they were too dazzling in the eyes of Shizuka-chan, who was an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. She felt like she couldn't look directly at them.

Well, although it might be a little exaggerated, the overwhelming admiration in Shizuka-chan's heart at this moment was real!

"Onii-chan, who… who are they…"

Standing next to Sora, Shizuka-chan gently tugged at Sora's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Oh, they are…"

Just as Sora was about to answer Shizuka-chan's question, to his surprise, Erica on the side spoke first:

"Hehehe, Shizuka-chan, I am your brother's knight and lover!"

With a cunning and dark smile, Erica's voice echoed in Shizuka-chan's little head.

"…"

"Onii-chan, she… she…"

Her eyes twitching, as if she couldn't believe what she had heard, Shizuka-chan pointed at Erica and looked at Sora, her face full of disbelief, and even her voice became stammering.

"Ahem… Yes, Shizuka, she is your sister-in-law."

Touching his nose, feeling a little awkward, Sora still bit the bullet and honestly admitted it.

"Eh?!!!"

Like a bolt from the blue, Shizuka-chan's disbelieving and extremely excited voice echoed throughout the courtyard…
