...
{3rd Pov}
Zero let out a low groan as he stared down at the pile of documents spread across his desk.
His expression clearly showed his exhaustion, and his fingers briefly pressed against his temple as if trying to ease the strain and pleasure building up in his head.
He had been working for several hours without taking a proper break, methodically reviewing every report and record that detailed what had occurred during his absence.
There was a lot to process.
Events had continued to move forward even without him, and although he appreciated the competence shown by those under him, it still meant he had to personally understand every decision that had been made.
Yes, he possessed the ability to accelerate his thoughts up to ten thousand times faster than normal, but that ability was not without its drawbacks.
Most of that mental capacity was constantly being diverted toward managing his superhuman senses, which were always active.
Because of that, he was forced to process documents and information at a far more normal pace than one would expect from someone like him.
It was frustrating, slow, and mentally draining in its own way.
His eyes scanned line after line, signature after signature, absorbing details that demanded careful attention rather than brute processing speed.
Yet, despite his exhaustion and irritation, there was something else mixed into the moment.
Something far more distracting.
More importantly than the paperwork, more important than the fatigue, Zero was currently experiencing a kind of pleasure that only men who were with their significant other could truly understand.
It was subtle, constant, and impossible to ignore, making it far harder to focus on the documents in front of him than he would ever admit aloud.
Yes, Reina was down there under the desk, giving him a full-on blowjob, her mouth working his cock with the kind of relentless suction that reminded him of milking a cow, pulling hard and steady to draw out every bit of pleasure.
She bobbed her head up and down, her lips sealed tight around his thick shaft, slurping and sucking without letting up, her tongue flicking against the underside as she took him deeper each time.
He reached down with one hand, grabbing a fistful of her hair, and forced her head forward, shoving his cock right into her throat for a deepthroat that made her gag slightly but she didn't pull back.
All the while, he kept his focus on the stack of documents spread out on his desk, flipping through pages, signing off on reports, and making notes as if this was just another routine part of his workday.
The wet sounds from below barely registered over the rustle of paper, but the heat building in his groin was impossible to ignore completely.
It had been over ten minutes already, and he wasn't showing any signs of climaxing yet, his cock staying rock-hard in her mouth as she kept at it, alternating between deep sucks and lighter licks along the length.
She hummed around him occasionally, the vibrations sending jolts through his body, but he held steady, reviewing the financial summaries line by line.
It wasn't until another full ten minutes dragged by, with her pace never slowing, that he finally felt that familiar pressure building deep inside, the tension coiling tighter in his balls as her efforts pushed him closer to the edge.
"Fuck!" he groaned out loud, the word escaping in a rough burst of pleasure, right as Reina's tongue slid all the way down to lap at his balls, teasing them with flat, wet strokes while her throat worked to swallow around his throbbing cock.
She took every spurt of his semen as it erupted, her mouth filling up fast, and she started gulping it down her throat in big, audible swallows, not spilling a single drop even as the volume kept coming, wave after wave pulsing out of him.
After she had drunk down an inhuman amount of his thick semen, her belly feeling fuller from the load, she didn't stop there.
She pulled back slowly, her lips dragging along his sensitive skin, and proceeded to clean his cock thoroughly with her tongue, licking up every last trace of cum and saliva from the head to the base, making sure it was spotless.
Then, with careful hands, she helped him tuck his softening cock back into his pants, zipping him up properly.
Once he was all set, she gave his flaccid cock a few playful pats through the fabric of his pants, feeling it twitch faintly under her touch, before she shamelessly crawled out from under the desk and slid into the seat right beside him, acting like she hadn't just been doing something so blatantly obscene only moments before, her face composed and ready to discuss whatever came next.
There was a sudden knock on the door, sharp and clear, breaking the relatively calm atmosphere of the room.
Subaru did not look up from his desk and simply gave a brief response, his voice steady.
"You can open it."
The door opened immediately, and Ram stepped inside.
She walked in with her usual composed posture before stopping a few steps away and bowing politely toward Subaru.
"Zero-sama," she said in a calm and professional tone, "Elsa, representing the assassins, has arrived."
As she straightened up, Ram's gaze shifted slightly, and her eyes landed on Reina almost by accident.
It was then that she noticed a faint trail of something white lingering near Reina's lips.
Reina froze for a split second before realizing what Ram had seen.
Her cheeks flushed red almost instantly, and without thinking too much about it, she quickly licked her lips, cleaning it away as discreetly as she could.
Ram, however, had already understood what it was.
The meaning behind the white trace was obvious to her, but she chose not to comment on it.
Her expression did not change, and she maintained her silence as if she had seen nothing at all.
She knew very well that 'Lord Zero' and Reina were both hopeless degenerates in their own way, completely lacking any sense of restraint when it came to each other.
They had absolutely no issue continuing whatever they were doing whenever the opportunity presented itself, regardless of time or place.
Although Ram had never directly witnessed them in the act, she had seen more than enough signs over time to put the pieces together.
Those hints appeared far too frequently to be ignored.
Sometimes it was Reina returning with a slightly disheveled appearance, her breathing not entirely steady.
Other times, it was the way she walked a little awkwardly after what was supposedly just a peaceful stroll through the garden with Subaru.
Taken together, those small details told Ram everything she needed to know, even if she pretended otherwise.
Ram herself found it confusing why a woman blessed with so many Divine Protections could be so clumsy when it came to hiding the obvious signs that she had been intimate with Subaru.
From Ram's perspective, it made very little sense.
Someone as overwhelmingly gifted as Reina should have had no trouble concealing something like that if she truly wanted to.
'It's almost as if she wants others to notice,' Ram thought quietly to herself.
After a moment of consideration, she reached a simple conclusion.
Reina was deliberately leaving those traces behind, intentionally making them visible so that everyone around her would understand one clear fact—that Subaru belonged to her, and that she had no intention of hiding it.
"Very well, let Elsa come in… also, you may enjoy your tea time," Subaru said calmly, shifting his attention back to the documents on his desk.
Ram's eyes immediately lit up at those words, and she nodded without hesitation.
Although Ram had changed significantly after the events in the Sanctuary—especially following Roswaal's betrayal—and had begun working far harder than before instead of leaving most of the responsibilities to Rem, some things about her had not changed at all.
At her core, Ram was still a slacker, and among all the things she enjoyed, her tea breaks remained her absolute favorite.
"Thank you, Lord Zero. If you would like, I can bring you some tea as well," Ram offered politely, her tone respectful.
Subaru shook his head lightly and refused her offer without any harshness.
"No need, Ram."
With that, Ram accepted his response, clearly satisfied now that her tea time had been officially approved.
After that, Ram left the room, quietly closing the door behind her.
A moment later, Subaru sent a psychic message to Elsa, summoning her.
It didn't take long before the door opened again and she stepped inside.
"I am here, Boss," Elsa said, her posture stiff and disciplined, her tone noticeably tense.
Although more than two months had passed since she had last met Subaru, and during that time he hadn't subjected her—or any of the other assassins—to any harsh missions, punishments, or brutal tasks, the fear she felt toward him had never faded.
If anything, it had only settled deeper into her instincts.
Subaru spoke her name calmly.
"Elsa."
At the same time, the desk positioned in front of him slid away on its own, moving smoothly as if guided by an invisible force.
Without a word, Reina climbed onto his lap, settling there as though it were the most natural and rightful place in the world.
She leaned against him, snuggling close and making herself comfortable.
Elsa didn't comment on the display.
She claimed she didn't care about such theatrics, though she would be lying if she said she hadn't noticed just how clingy the Sword Saint was toward Subaru.
Reina was a dangerous woman.
That much was undeniable.
She was so overwhelmingly powerful that no one in the world could truly stop her if she chose to act freely.
And yet, there was only one person she listened to.
Zero.
Her master.
Her boss.
A monster in his own right.
Standing in a room with both of them at the same time, feeling their presence so close, sent a chill down Elsa's spine.
It terrified her more than she would ever openly admit, and she had to consciously restrain herself from showing just how uneasy she truly felt.
Subaru had healed her soul back when he was torturing her, doing so deliberately to make the process more effective.
Because of that, Elsa had gradually regained most of the emotions and sensations she had once lost. She was no longer the near-emotionless shell she used to be.
That was exactly why Subaru was now able to scare her so easily.
Compared to her previous self, her fear responses were sharper, more instinctive, and far harder to suppress.
"Tell me," Subaru said calmly, deliberately relaxing his posture.
One of his hands rested casually on Reina's waist, his grip loose but possessive.
"What's the news you've gathered?"
Elsa didn't hesitate.
"We have collected a large amount of compromising information on Marquis Harris of Rimpleton Port City," she said honestly and without embellishment.
"He has been accused of promoting demi-human slavery, engaging in illegal money laundering, committing rape, and several other crimes that have gone completely unpunished."
She paused briefly before continuing, making sure her words were clear.
"He has also been actively spreading false information and propaganda about the Felt, Anastasia, Emilia, and Crusch camps."
"So he's from Priscilla's camp," Subaru muttered aloud at first, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Then he corrected himself almost immediately.
"No… not exactly. He's been secretly supporting her camp through his allies while maintaining a neutral stance on the surface."
That realization didn't come from Elsa's report alone.
It was information Subaru had just pulled directly from the memories of the world itself, confirming his suspicion without a single doubt.
"A port city, huh?" Subaru muttered thoughtfully.
He knew very well that Rimpleton was technically a major river city rather than a coastal one, but in a flat world like this, lakes and massive rivers were effectively the largest bodies of water available.
Because of that, river routes served as vital arteries for trade, making such cities extremely influential in commerce and logistics.
"Very well," Subaru said decisively, giving Reina a casual pat on the rear.
In response, she rose from his lap without complaint, allowing him to stand up as well.
Turning his attention back to Elsa, he continued, "Send an invitation to the Priscilla Camp. Tell them we will meet at Rimpleton."
A sharp grin spread across his face.
He already had a clear plan in mind.
That city would be where he eliminated Priscilla from the Royal Selection entirely—while also erasing the Marquis from the board at the same time.
"Zero… if we eliminate him while we're present there, the other nobles won't stay quiet," Reina warned, her expression serious as she considered the political consequences.
Subaru simply smiled in response, completely unbothered.
"Our other two competitors are going to fall on their own soon enough," he replied calmly, as if stating an obvious fact.
Then he added, his tone firm and certain, "Felt won't be able to win either. At this rate, the Royal Selection will probably end very soon."
Both Elsa and Reina stiffened at his words, shock clearly written on their faces.
The Royal Selection was supposed to last three full years, yet it hadn't even been a single year since it began—and Subaru was already speaking as if its conclusion was inevitable and close at hand.
"There might be some resistance, though… and a lot of trouble if things spiral out of control," Subaru added calmly.
He had always been merciless when it came to his enemies, while being openly selfish and protective toward the people he considered his own.
"I will stay by your side," Reina said without even a moment of hesitation.
She understood exactly what Subaru was implying without needing further explanation.
He was going to kill the corrupt nobles—again.
The previous purge of corrupt nobles within his territory had ended without any serious backlash.
That was largely because his evidence had been overwhelming and impossible to refute.
The accusations had been solid, the crimes undeniable, and the outcomes justified in the eyes of the public.
However, Subaru was fully aware that things were different now.
Many nobles were quietly scheming behind the scenes, doing everything in their power to prevent the Emilia Camp from gaining any further influence.
Alliances were being rearranged in secret, with several factions shifting their support toward Felt and Priscilla instead.
To those arrogant nobles, those two camps appeared to be the safest bets at the moment.
In their eyes, Felt's loud words and bold attitude didn't amount to real authority.
They believed that if she were restrained properly, she could be turned into nothing more than a puppet queen.
After all, in this timeline, she didn't have a Sword Saint standing at her side like she was supposed to have originally.
Next, there was Priscilla Barielle, who rarely paid much attention to what her nobles did behind her back.
As long as their actions didn't cause her any losses and they continued to show her the proper respect she demanded, she simply didn't care.
Their schemes, corruption, or secret dealings meant little to her unless they directly affected her position or benefits.
In fact, among the current candidates, the weakest position belonged to Crusch Karsten.
Many of the nobles under her banner were secretly lending their support to the Anastasia Camp instead, slowly draining Crusch's influence from within.
Loyalty was thin, and ambition was everywhere.
Yes, the current Royal Selection had become a nest of political backstabbing and silent betrayals.
Deals were being made behind closed doors, promises exchanged in whispers, and knives sharpened for use when the timing felt right.
If Subaru chose to deliver judgment on all of this corruption, he knew exactly what would happen.
He would be besieged from every direction, attacked politically and militarily by multiple factions at once.
Nobles, camps, and hidden allies would unite against him the moment he moved too openly.
Not that he cared anymore.
'If they want to attack me… then they can,' Subaru thought calmly.
He wasn't afraid of confrontation anymore.
After all, some of the strongest beings in the world were standing firmly by his side.
'And if I can get Volcanica on my side, it will make dealing with all of them much easier,' Subaru continued to think.
The advantages were obvious, and the thought alone made the upcoming conflicts feel manageable.
He had many things to handle now, and little time to waste.
First, he would deal with the Marquiss who had been interfering with his trade routes and whose list of crimes was already far too long to ignore.
Then, he would turn his attention toward Vollachia.
And finally… Volcanica.
'I just hope Aldebaran doesn't go into Dark Souls player mode…' Subaru thought, his mind briefly drifting to the man who shared the name Natsuki with him.
Aldebaran was a creation of Echidna, designed for one specific purpose: to minimize secondary damage and deal with problems related to Natsuki Subaru.
However, at this point, that concern felt irrelevant.
There were far more immediate matters in front of him.
"Daddy."
The single word caused Subaru to freeze completely.
Even Reina and Elsa were visibly stunned, their expressions changing as their eyes instinctively turned toward the voice.
The atmosphere in the room shifted in an instant as all attention focused on the girl standing directly in front of Subaru.
She had long, flowing silver hair that fell neatly down her back, framing her small and delicate figure.
Her petite body resembled that of a young girl, somewhere between twelve and fourteen years old at most.
Her silver eyes reflected calm familiarity, as if calling him that way was the most natural thing in the world.
"S-Sylphy?" Subaru spoke her name in disbelief.
It didn't even take him a full second to recognize her.
The moment he sensed her presence, her Aura made it unmistakably clear who she was.
Her eyes immediately lit up the moment Subaru called her name, pure joy flooding her face without restraint.
The expression she wore was one of genuine affection and unmistakable love as she leaped forward without hesitation.
"Daddy!"
Subaru reacted on instinct and caught her midair, his arms wrapping around her small body.
Sylphy pressed herself against his chest, snuggling into him comfortably as if she had always belonged there.
After a brief moment, she pulled back just enough to look up at him, her silver eyes filled with happiness as she smiled brightly.
"It's me… Sylphy," she said, her voice calm and reassuring, as if she were afraid he might doubt her presence.
Almost immediately after her arrival, Subaru's other spirits followed her into the room.
Gloria entered first, wearing her usual smug expression, clearly amused by the situation unfolding in front of her.
Beatrice came next, her face visibly annoyed as her eyes locked onto Sylphy, clearly displeased at how openly she was clinging to her contractor without any shame.
Meanwhile, the remaining three spirits could only silently lament their situation, still reduced to nothing more than condensed balls of mana, unable to properly manifest or join the scene like the others.
"Umu! Sylphy became a Great Spirit while we were practicing together!" Agni announced proudly, revealing what had happened earlier and explaining how Sylphy had successfully obtained a human form during their training.
"She has proven herself worthy to be my mongrel sister," Gloria added confidently, her statement immediately making several of the other spirits twitch in irritation the moment those words left her mouth.
"Daddy… Sylphy is strong now… Sylphy will protect Daddy," the spirit girl said softly as she rubbed her cheek against Subaru affectionately, nuzzling him in a manner similar to a cat seeking attention.
Her movements were natural and possessive, clearly showing her attachment.
Meanwhile, her teddy bear continued to hover quietly in the air beside her, moving gently as if it were alive.
"This isn't fair at all! I want to become a Great Spirit too!" Aqua cried out loudly, bobbing up and down in frustration despite still being nothing more than a condensed ball of mana.
"Fate is apparently racist," Gaia muttered dryly, shaking herself as if trying to vent her dissatisfaction with the situation.
"Betty is strong too! Betty can protect her contractor just as well!" Beatrice protested, puffing out her cheeks in a pout as she spoke.
However, Sylphy only gave her a brief, neutral glance before looking away entirely, turning her attention back to Subaru as her face once again lit up with clear happiness.
"Wonderful! Sylphy's a big girl now… well, bigger than she was before at least!" Subaru said cheerfully, genuine happiness clear in his voice as he gently patted her head in approval.
Reina smiled warmly at the sight and moved closer, wrapping her arms around Subaru and staying comfortably within his embrace.
Turning her attention to Sylphy, she spoke with a gentle smile, "You can call me mother if you want."
However, the response she received was immediate and merciless.
Sylphy turned her head toward Reina and replied without hesitation, "Daddy is Sylphy's Daddy… Daddy is Sylphy's Mommy."
Reina's eyebrow twitched visibly at those words, the shock hitting her instantly, while Subaru could only let out an awkward chuckle, unsure of what emotion he was supposed to feel in that moment.
Although Subaru had already accepted the spirits he contracted with as something similar to adopted daughters, the roles were never truly the same.
Beatrice was more like a younger sister to him, and Gloria already possessed the body and presence of an adult.
But now, seeing Sylphy standing there with a human form resembling that of a young girl, clinging to him so naturally, he genuinely felt something new stir within him.
For the first time, Subaru truly felt as if he was a father.
He gently put her down on the floor, but the moment her feet touched the ground, she immediately reached out and grabbed one of his hands, tightly holding onto it while clutching her teddy bear with the other.
"Sylphy will follow Papa… Sylphy will not leave Papa," she declared confidently, her small face filled with an adorably proud expression as she said those words.
In that instant, Subaru was hit by an overwhelming wave of cuteness so intense that it nearly brought him to tears.
His heart felt like it was about to burst.
'So kawaiiiii!' he screamed internally, barely managing to keep his composure on the outside.
Meanwhile, Elsa deliberately coughed to draw attention back to herself before speaking with a respectful bow.
"I will take my leave now to fulfill my mission."
"Very well! You may go," Subaru replied casually, though it was painfully obvious that his attention was completely focused on Sylphy, his eyes soft as he continued admiring how unbelievably cute she was.
Elsa's eyebrow twitched slightly at his lack of concern, and Reina's expression darkened as well, irritation clearly building as she realized she was being completely ignored.
Beatrice, on the other hand, felt a sharp pang of jealousy, sensing that her position beside Subaru was now being threatened by this new presence.
Gloria merely snorted internally, crossing her arms with confidence.
'She can only ever be a daughter,' she thought coldly, 'but this concubine will be his woman.'
As for Reina, that very day she silently made a firm vow to herself.
She would never have a daughter in the future.
