The Sekirei’s Covenant

"Even Lady Zola has fallen victim? Lord Sora is so evil. Won't you spare me next time…"

A certain anxious maid.

"Ugh… Sora is just too… too undisciplined! Even as a Demon King, he must be properly reprimanded later."

A certain shy and slightly resentful miko.

"Fallen Onii-sama! Evil Onii-sama! Perverted Onii-sama! Damn it…"

Shizuka, furious because she suddenly had another sister-in-law.

"Demon scum!"

A little girl sneering coldly inside.

…

Taking in the expressions of all the women, except for Erica who was smiling happily enjoying the show, the others looked either resentful or timid. Even thick-skinned Sora felt a bit embarrassed.

Especially Shizuka, what's with that expression like she's completely disappointed in the whole world? Little girl, don't you know that unscrupulous great witch is your old man's friend? If you really make me angry, I'll spill all those dirty secrets and scare you to death!

Alright, it seems our friend Sora is starting to give up completely. Is he really planning to abandon the little integrity he has left?!

"Um, Shizuka, although Zola is a ruthless great witch, she is still your sister-in-law. After our business is settled, I will explain everything to you, so please don't act rashly."

Feeling the atmosphere was getting a bit creepy, Sora had no choice but to speak up bravely.

Looking at Shizuka's angry expression, Sora was genuinely worried she might throw a tantrum and embarrass Zola, possibly leading to an epic battle between the little sister and the ruthless witch.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Shizuka ignored Sora and turned her gaze to Zola, who was smiling cheerfully nearby.

"Zola-neechan, my hopelessly foolish onii-chan has caused you trouble. I am Kusanagi Shizuka. Please take care of me from now on."

Bowing politely to Zola, Shizuka said with a respectful expression.

Although she was furious that her hopeless idiot brother had brought home yet another sister-in-law, Shizuka was quite sensible. In her eyes, everything was the fault of her idiot brother, and Zola was just another victim poisoned by him.

Thinking this, the little girl even felt a bit of sympathy for Zola, sweat…

Well, if Sora knew what Shizuka was thinking at this moment, he would probably be speechless. But seeing Shizuka's current behavior, Sora felt a small relief. Although she was never polite to him, she always behaved generously and properly in front of others.

"Hehehe… Little Shizuka is just too adorable!"

With a bigger smile on her face, the ruthless witch once again hugged the little girl's head and rubbed it.

Originally, she thought the little girl would confront her, but unexpectedly, Shizuka was so polite and magnanimous. Even Zola couldn't help but look at the girl differently. Although her carefully planned schemes were useless now, the ruthless great witch was happier for it.

This little girl really has a sweet mouth. I'll have to take good care of her from now on!

"So this is the heretic goddess Athena-chan, captured by the little devil brother? Oh, how cute!"

Releasing Shizuka, the ruthless great witch turned her gaze to the little loli Athena in Sora's arms. A strange look flashed in her eyes but quickly returned to normal.

Her little devil brother really did it—capturing the legendary goddess Athena and raising her at home. Calling him reckless and disrespectful to the gods was an understatement; this was downright lawless!

But well done!!!

"Witch, what do you want?"

Seeing Zola's wicked smile staring at her, Athena couldn't help but feel a chill. She currently had no divine power and if she fell into Zola's hands, she would be at her mercy.

Clutching Sora's clothes tightly, her little neck shrank into his arms. Although she had been bullied by the annoying Kusanagi Sora all these days, she accepted it because she lost to him. But if anyone else tried to bully her noble Athena, no way!

Actually, this little goddess loli hadn't noticed that she had unconsciously gotten used to being bullied by Sora. Although it felt a bit annoying, it seemed normal to be bullied by this guy.

Should we say Athena has gotten used to it, or that she has fallen?

"Hehehe… I've suffered a lot from you gods before! Now that I finally have a chance, should I take a little revenge, cute Athena-chan?"

Pinching Athena's soft, cute little face, the ruthless great witch Zola smiled mischievously.

A flash of annoyance appeared in Athena's eyes. She felt wronged—why was Zola taking revenge on her for being bullied by those gods?!

If her divine power wasn't sealed, Athena would slap this hateful witch away!

"Dead witch, behave yourself and don't bully Athena!"

Sora's voice said as he slapped away the witch's hands.

Hearing Sora's voice, Athena felt a small touch of warmth in her heart.

"Since you actually defended me, I'll temporarily overlook you often skimping on my offerings."

With a coquettish hum, Athena thought to herself.

But the next moment—

"Athena is mine alone. If anyone bullies her, it can only be me!"

Sora's voice again, but this time it sounded harsh to Athena's ears.

Her mouth twitched fiercely, and the little loli's face turned pale.

Damn Kusanagi Sora, I really can't forgive you!!!

"Hehehe…"

A burst of coquettish laughter. Although Zola was still a bit tempted by the little loli Athena's current state, she was in no hurry.

There's plenty of time; I still have my chance!

"Alright, let's talk later. Let's go to your place first. These girls are a bit tired."

Shaking his head speechlessly, Sora said to Zola.

Nodding, Zola didn't continue and led Sora and the girls toward her witch's house. She was quite familiar with Erica and Arianna, so most of the way she was chatting with Shizuka and Yuri.

Although she looked like a ruthless big sister on the surface, Sora knew this woman was very smart and was trying to get close to the girls!

At first, Yuri and Shizuka were a bit wary of the great witch, but just like with Erica, these innocent girls were no match for her. It didn't take long before she won them over, calling her "big sister" and acting very affectionate, which made Sora a little jealous.

Of course, Zola had no plans for Athena for now. Although she looked like a harmless cute little loli, as the legendary goddess of wisdom, known for her intelligence, Zola was well aware.

To deal with Athena, small tricks wouldn't work. Probably only someone like Sora, a shameless and domineering combination, could be her nemesis, sweat…

"Erica, did you make some kind of deal with the great witch? You two seem a bit too peaceful with each other!"

While the ruthless witch was fooling around with two innocent girls, Sora asked Erica beside him.

Neither Erica nor Zola was an easy opponent. Sora imagined that when these two women met, there would be some verbal sparring, but from the start until now, they seemed way too friendly.

Not scientific, this is not scientific!

"Hehehe, want to guess? My demon king."

With a sly look in her eyes, Erica brushed her hair and gave a charming smile.

"Who knows what you two vixens are plotting. Well, this is better. If either of you starts messing around—"

Shrugging, Sora really didn't know what these two women were up to.

"So what?"

Smiling brightly, Erica looked at Sora with curiosity and asked back.

"Hmph, if anyone dares to mess around, I'll suppress them!"

A face full of domineering expression, Sora really wasn't joking.

Whether it was Zola or Erica, they were both his women. Sora wouldn't favor either side, but if anyone dared to be disobedient, he would suppress them!

Well, of course, the "suppression" Sora mentioned wasn't some violent or bloody crackdown, but something specifically aimed at women.

Hmm, recently, things kept popping into his mind from time to time, including many methods to make disobedient women obedient.

Although it seemed somewhat evil, Sora had to admit those methods were quite effective and even made him look forward to using them!

Seeing Sora's domineering demeanor, Erica not only felt no resentment but her beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.

Because this was what a king should look like!

"As expected of the man recognized by me, Erica Blandelli! Don't worry, my king, I only declared to that unscrupulous witch my determination to become the first queen by your side, and she isn't interested in the top throne position."

"Since she's not a competitor, naturally we are good sisters who get along well. After all, we were both 'afflicted' by you, the great demon king!"

A trace of grievance flashed in her expression. As a woman, Erica naturally didn't want to share her man with other women. But she also knew that facing such an evil demon king, her beautiful wishes were impossible to realize.

Moreover, to avoid being overshadowed by the other leading ladies ahead of her in the future, she had to help this demon king expand his harem and recruit allies for herself. Sometimes, thinking about it, Erica felt truly conflicted!

"Ahem… Erica, a woman who doesn't want to be queen isn't a good woman. That useless witch Zola has been left eighteen streets behind by you from the start."

"So, work hard, I will always support you!"

Patting the girl's shoulder, Sora wore an encouraging expression.

Damn it, no matter how you look at it, he was the one taking all the advantages here. Of course, he would support her!

"Shameless!!!"

Looking at Sora's smug face after getting the advantage, the little girl who was being hugged like a teddy bear thought angrily…
