Beelzebul attempted to break free.

Beelzebul attempted to retreat.
[Retreat Failed]
Beelzebul attempted to attack.
[Attack Successful]
[Damage: 1] (No Defense Break)
Even lightning had no effect on Kaito anymore.
It even ended up charging his phone!
And so, Beelzebul, held by Kaito, completely lost her spirit.
The more she looked at Kaito, the angrier she got, but she couldn't vent her anger. For a moment, she was incredibly frustrated.
What had she done to deserve this!
Why did she have to be "included" too!
'Sister, save me!!!'
"Cough, Kaito, stop tormenting her."
"Hehe, since Baal says so, I'll let her off."
Baal had indeed witnessed Kaito and Beelzebul's interaction. Seeing their behavior, her face flushed. It was surprising Kaito would actually dare, but she felt helpless.
However, she didn't blame Kaito. When she looked at him, it was no different from looking at Beelzebul.
Besides, they were twin gods. Sometimes...
There was a mental connection and "shared feelings", just a matter of degree.
Anyway, her sister Beelzebul would be a hands-off ruler from now on, not working or wandering around. In that case, she might as well stay here.
As for Inazuma...
Like this world, she could just choose a human to lead humans, right?
She also knew about Kaito's small world and fully supported him in perfecting it, so they could bring everyone from Teyvat there. Then they wouldn't have to worry about Teyvat's collapse, erosion, and other issues.
They wouldn't even have to worry about other gods.
Perhaps, after being with Kaito for so long, she had become more open-minded?
"Sister, brother-in-law is acting weird! Say something to him!"
Beelzebul, released, quickly ran behind Baal, stuck out her head, and pointed at the culprit, gritting her teeth.
"Ei... well... actually, I wouldn't mind helping you out too."
"Wait, Sister, you're acting weird too!?"
Beelzebul's eyes widened in shock, then she stepped back half a step, looking at Baal in disbelief.
Wasn't she basically saying that after having a husband, she forgot about her sister!!
Things had changed. The bond was gone.
A married sister was indeed like water that had been poured out, impossible to take back!
"Well... Kaito, give her some more time. Her heart isn't fully mature yet."
"Sister, what do you mean my heart isn't mature! And why does he need to give me more time! Sister, you can't do this!"
"Hehe, Beelzebul, actually, I think it's best if you always stay with us. Besides, you can't rule Inazuma anyway, can you?"
"!!!"
"Gasp—"
She had no comeback for that last sentence.
If she could rule Inazuma, why would she have created the puppet Raiden Shogun?
So, that best excuse was gone.
What else was left?
Being a gluttonous, lazy layabout who only knew how to fight besides slacking off?
"Haha, alright, I'll listen to you on this."
Kaito couldn't help but laugh at the sisters' conversation. Still chuckling, he reached out and hugged Baal, then turned and patted Beelzebul on the shoulder, giving her a knowing look before walking away.
Left behind, Baal and Beelzebul silently looked at each other. Then, with a gesture from Baal, they needed to have a heart-to-heart.
What they discussed, no one knows.
Elsewhere, when Kaito returned to the living room, Yunyun and Akina were already getting along very well.
Since this world and Akina's world were very similar, they found plenty to talk about.
When the conversation turned to clothing, Yunyun became interested in kimono culture, and Akina expressed a desire to try wearing Hanfu.
Ginko finally found her opportunity and asked Kaito when she could play Shogi. Currently, she and Ai had both reached an amateur professional level in Go.
Although they were just beginners, reaching this level in half a month showed their immense talent.
However, Ginko had a lot of playing experience, while Ai was almost a complete beginner, yet could now play on par with Ginko.
This showed Ai's incredible natural gift.
But regarding Ginko's question, Kaito wasn't sure how to answer, so he brought up Baal.
He said her Go skills were on par with his. Ginko, clearly intrigued, went off to find Baal to play.
Naturally, they played Go, as Kaito hadn't yet allowed her to play Shogi. As his disciple, she naturally obeyed.
After all, Kaito (seemingly) must have had a good reason for doing this, right?
That's what Ginko thought.
In the evening, after dinner, everyone gathered at the villa's backyard hot spring.
Since it could also be used as a pool, the area was spacious enough.
After staying here for so many days, this was the first time they were using the hot spring.
However, with Kaito intentionally infusing it with magic, Yunyun, Hisui, and the others experienced an unimaginable level of comfort. Even Hisui and Ai, who had wanted to play in the water, quieted down.
Everyone wore swimsuits and enjoyed the hot spring.
Unfortunately, there were too many gray clouds in the sky, so they couldn't see the beautiful stars, just an ordinary night sky.
"Kaito, tonight at midnight is the 1st."
"Oh? Is that so? A month has passed like that?"
Stunned, then surprised.
'Was a month already over?'
'That meant a new member would be joining.'
'Who would it be?'
Unknowingly... Kaito began to anticipate.
"Kaito, you're not looking forward to what kind of 'lady' will join the chat group tonight, are you?"
'Uh oh, busted?'
'Was I being that obvious?'
"Cough, cough, Akina, don't talk nonsense. I'm just curious what kind of person the new member is."
"Don't pretend. Honestly, we've all been discussing in the chat group whether the next new member will immediately be captivated by you."
"???"
'Uuhh...'
