Hitagi Senjougahara's eyes were a bit unfocused.
And... this feeling was quite nice.
Even those painful memories seemed to have been suppressed by this feeling.
Ugh...
So that's it...
Is that so...
Hitagi Senjougahara, buried in Lynn's chest, seemed to understand everything!
Hitagi Senjougahara looked up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Daddy."
Lynn: "?"
He said with a complex tone, "Are you..."
"Awake right now?"
Hitagi Senjougahara moved away from Lynn's chest, tucked her hair behind her ear, her eyes filled with a smile, "Don't you like it?"
Lynn narrowed his eyes, "To say I don't like it would be impossible."
He was used to being called Master, so having this happen occasionally did indeed give him a unique feeling.
Upon hearing this, Hitagi Senjougahara's lips curled slightly. She clasped her hands behind her back, took a few steps back, and turned around, her face faintly burning.
She hadn't expected herself to be so bold.
But... the feeling just now was quite nice.
The painful memories in her heart seemed to have faded a bit more.
She quietly touched the spot over her heart.
It was beating a bit fast...
Was it because... she had a new emotional anchor?
And... after losing the Heavy Crab's curse, her mood felt much lighter too.
On the side, Asuna Yuuki's eye twitched.
She shouldn't have been here.
On the other side.
Lynn stroked his chin, carefully savoring the different feeling Hitagi Senjougahara had brought him.
Then he narrowed his eyes and got down to business.
Through the aura of that phantom from just now, he had already locked onto the location of the Heavy Crab.
So...
'Hum'—
A black magic circle rose from beneath his feet.
The sudden change made Asuna Yuuki and Hitagi Senjougahara snap back to reality.
Hitagi Senjougahara steadied herself and said, "What is this?"
"Teleportation magic."
Hitagi Senjougahara and Asuna Yuuki's eyes widened slightly.
"Magic? Teleportation?"
Both of them were somewhat surprised.
Even for Hitagi Senjougahara, who had experienced oddities, this was her first time seeing the existence of magic.
"So, are we going to find that Heavy Crab?"
A look of realization flashed in Hitagi Senjougahara's eyes, and she then asked, "Can I go along?"
She was also somewhat curious about the Heavy Crab that had taken her weight.
Lynn nodded and said, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Hitagi Senjougahara walked over to Lynn's side and naturally took his arm.
Seeing this, Asuna Yuuki's eyelid twitched as she retorted, "Isn't your role change a bit too fast?"
Hitagi Senjougahara blinked, "It can't be helped, I'm already the devil's person, and besides..."
"You're an accomplice, you know~"
An accomplice?!
The expression on Asuna Yuuki's face stiffened.
Hitagi Senjougahara continued, "If you hadn't brought the devil here, I might still be all alone, right?"
"So..."
Hitagi Senjougahara smiled and said, "Thank you."
Asuna Yuuki opened her mouth, then said helplessly, "I really don't want this kind of thanks..."
As the Student Council president of Shuchiin Academy, not only did she witness Lynn recruiting his harem, but she was also one of the accomplices.
Her conscience as a Student Council president was aching faintly!
"Well then, see you next time..."
Hitagi Senjougahara waved at Asuna Yuuki.
"Wait!"
Asuna Yuuki suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lynn's other arm.
Hitagi Senjougahara: "?"
Asuna Yuuki smiled and said, "You don't mind taking me along, do you?"
Lynn shrugged.
Taking one is fine, taking two is also fine.
The next second.
The black magic circle shone brightly!
The figures of Lynn and the two girls instantly vanished.
...
Somewhere far away from Shuchiin Academy.
In a damp and dark underground cave.
The black magic circle suddenly appeared!
The next second.
The figures of the three appeared.
Hitagi Senjougahara and Asuna Yuuki's eyes were slightly dazed.
"We've arrived at another place?"
Looking at the dark environment around them, their eyes were filled with wonder.
In just the blink of an eye, they had actually been teleported to another place.
It really was teleportation magic!
Their hearts were stirred.
"Roar—"
Suddenly.
A roar echoed from the depths of the cave!
The violent sound reverberated in the cave, and the entire cave suddenly shook violently, as if stones were falling from the walls.
"What happened!"
Asuna Yuuki exclaimed.
Hitagi Senjougahara remained calmer, "It must be the Heavy Crab that discovered us, right?"
"After all, this is its lair."
Just as she was analyzing this.
A huge, dull sound echoed from within the cave.
As if something was crawling!
Soon.
Before Lynn and the others, two things like giant light bulbs swayed gently in the air.
Gulp!
Asuna Yuuki swallowed, her voice trembling, "That, could that be its eyes?"
Lynn said calmly, "You can remove the 'could that be'."
As he finished speaking.
Lynn snapped his fingers, and in an instant, a strong light surged like a rushing tide, illuminating the entire underground cave as bright as day.
Under the illumination of the light, the moss on the surrounding stone walls glowed with an eerie green light.
And...
"So big!"
Asuna Yuuki widened her eyes, marveling at the vastness of the underground cave.
But...
What was even more eye-catching was the giant crab before them, which seemed to almost fill the entire underground cave!
Its shell shimmered with a faint light, looking hard and rough, and its surface looked pitted, like an ancient rock that had weathered the ages.
The edge of the crab shell was sharp and serrated, and each serration was like a sharp dagger, flashing with a cold light as it reflected the illumination.
The crab legs were like thick stone pillars, covered with a thick layer of cuticle, and sharp barbs grew on them, each barb as thick as a forearm.
"Hiss—"
Just looking at it made Asuna Yuuki and Hitagi Senjougahara feel fear.
"Is this the true form of the Heavy Crab?"
Asuna Yuuki's breath hitched, her throat instantly went dry, and her heart trembled uncontrollably.
"Roar!"
Suddenly.
The Heavy Crab roared, and its eight legs rushed towards them!
As it moved, the entire underground cave began to tremble!
Seeing this, Lynn stepped forward and said calmly, "You two stay here, don't move."
"Eh?"
Asuna Yuuki was startled, "Wait, are you really going to fight this kind of monster?!"
"Maybe, maybe we should..."
Her voice trembled as she considered whether they should just use the teleportation magic to go back.
Against such a terrifying monster, it seemed there was absolutely no chance of winning, right?
But...
Asuna Yuuki's words hadn't even left her mouth.
Lynn's aura suddenly erupted, and his figure vanished instantly.
In an instant!
Lynn appeared above the Heavy Crab's head.
"!"
A human-like emotion appeared in the Heavy Crab's eyes.
The next second.
Hum—
A terrifying gravitational force enveloped Lynn!
Lynn grinned, "So kind, adding a buff for me?"
As he finished speaking!
Lynn descended at extreme speed!
Whoosh—
A wisp of starlight fire wrapped around Lynn's foot, and he landed heavily on top of the Heavy Crab's head!
Boom!!
