Volume 1 Chapter 3 - Amasaki Mio Part 1
Kaguya-senpai brought cards over, the atmosphere of the welcome party became more lively than before.
Mio and Hoshikaze-senpai are the type that immediately reflects what they think to their faces, so they were extremely weak. On the contrary, Kaguya-senpai and Koyuki were so strong that it was scary.
Kaguya-senpai uses lies and bluffs with ease while Koyuki would have an impregnable fortress-like poker face.
However, because Kazuki had said “So senpai is the type whose expression is inconsistent with her personality” to Kaguya-senpai, after she “Fufufu” and smiled, she suddenly became extremely weak. After that, the final winner was Koyuki. She muttered “Well, it doesn’t matter.” And pulled the curtains down for the welcome party.
Because of Mio’s strong proposition, Kazuki’s room was arranged to be the furthest room on the second floor.
It was a location where there was an appropriate distance between the other girls’ rooms and it was separated by empty rooms. Although Kaguya-senpai had initially said that anywhere was fine, it can’t be helped.
Late at night after the welcome party, Kazuki opened the door of his own room.
“A new life huh…Although it seems like they are all hard to deal with, but it seems like it would work out.”
Just muttering like this, he lifted the soft blanket on top of the bed that was similar to a hotel.
“A new life. Right? Then, aim for a harem!”
——After lifting up the blanket, he do not know why Leme appeared from within.
“Leme!? Why are you hiding in such a place? Your room is at another location, right?”
“Yes. But, because there are some words that I do not want others to hear, so I came over to your room.”
“Words? Anything is fine…but didn’t you lose your memories?”
“Yes. But actually, despite the memory loss, Leme still vaguely remember what she is and what her mission is. Divas all have a meaning of existence that was decided based on the myth. It isn’t something that could be simply forgotten.”
A meaning of existence decided by the myth? Leme’s mission is…?
“Then in other words…Could it be the reason why you chose to grant me an Enigma!?”
“Yes. And Leme…Although I had said it in that place, but she is actually not a powerless Diva.”
Hearing these words, Kazuki widened his eyes. While facing Kazuki, Leme proudly answered.
“Leme’s mission is…to make you become a harem king!!”
…Haah? Kazuki’s eyes widened and froze there.
“I will only tell you, the contractor, my true identity. ——Leme’s true name is <The Lesser Key of Solomon> Lemegeton! The Demon King ruling over the 72 Pillars of Demons!!”
Wait a minute…Did you just say Lemegeton?
“ <The Lesser Key of Solomon> should be a Magic Book, isn’t it…?”
Lemegeton ——That name had indeed appeared in the myth related to Solomon’s 72 Pillars of Demons.
However, Lemegeton is not listed as a name for the 72 Pillars of Demon.
King Solomon, who governs the 72 Pillars of Demon, placed the contents of his summoning techniques inside a Magic Book <The Lesser Key of Solomon> ——It was passed on like this.
King Solomon was a human that was alive around 1000 B.C. But this Magic Book was discovered at the 17th century and had sparked the medieval people’s madness towards Black Magic and Alchemy. That the leader of the <Golden Dawn>, McGregor Mathers, treated it as a research object was also widely known.
“Wrong! That is completely wrong!” Leme angrily shook her head.
“It was passed on incorrectly. The majority of the people that seek for the method to summon Demons felt that it was easier to consider Leme as a Magic Book. This thought was too simple.”
“In other words, it is a convenient delusion that people before had fabricated?”
“That’s right. King Solomon did not use a Magic Book to use summoning techniques. It is because he had a contract with Lemegeton, who governs the 72 Pillars’ strength, to summon them!”
Governing 72 Pillars’ strength ——Is this the true power of Lemegeton?
“Right now I will tell you Leme’s power…Leme’s inherent Magic <Goetia> is all the ten magic owned by the 72 Pillars, who grant this academy strength. A total of 720 kinds of magic and they are all given to you!”
The words that Leme uttered gave an enormous impact to Kazuki.
All. In other words, according to the actual situation, he could use a total of 720 kinds of Magic.
It overthrew all his thoughts and two giant words floated within Kazuki’s mind <The Strongest>. The Diva that he, an E-Rank, contracted was…the strongest Diva.
“——However, there is a condition. This power is only allowed to be used by a <King>. Just like how Leme lets the 72 Pillars of Demon to be subordinates of hers, if you do not let the other people to become a subordinate of yours, your power as a King cannot be used. Errr, subordinate is not the word used in modern times…If we have to use the modern way of speaking…Then it is to make them fall in love with you!”
Make them…Fall in love…with me? I suddenly felt that…some idiotic words were spouted out.
“Through the mentality of the Magic User that you made into a subordinate, the Magic User’s contracted Diva’s power could be used by you. For example, if you let that Amasaki Mio fall in love with you, then you will form a path with that person. Leme will be able to draw power from Phenex. However, if you are still in an unpopular state…Although it is unfortunate, but Leme is only a powerless Diva…”
“…Unpopular and powerless Diva!? That is too weird.”
“It is not weird. The Divas have their own purpose of existing based on the myth. Solomon Divas’ missions were to grant wisdom to humans and let this country prosper. And once the Stigma Magic Users that are able to use the 72 Pillars grow up, it is necessary to govern them. Because a female’s Magic Power is relatively stronger, so all the Stigma Magic Users are females. If that’s the case, the King that caused them to submit ——is a harem king!”
“…What to do, it seems like it does make sense.”
“I am saying this first, if the situation of a harem king was not born, then the Solomon’s 72 Pillars would lose their motivations and give up on supporting this country. Because cultivating a King is the meaning of existence for the Solomon Divas. Just like when they obeyed Israel’s King Solomon, they are all Divas of the assistants, who were willing to do their best, for the King.”
“Wait a minute, isn’t this extremely important to this country!?”
The true meaning of the Solomon’s 72 Pillars supporting the Japanese government is actually still not clear. Even so, the Japanese government desires the power of Magic. For the military forces, they cannot help but rely on the 72 Pillars.
If they were to lose the support of the Solomon’s 72 Pillars, Japan would be dropped from their position as a Magically Advanced Country.
“A King’s power is to be able to gather the fragmented things, <Convergence Power>. If he does not have this Convergence Power, then in the future, humans would not be able to deal with the giant wave that would come to this world. By recognizing that a single individual is weak, so it is necessary to cultivate a king. This is the mission of Leme and Solomon’s 72 Pillars…”
“…A giant wave that would come to this world?”
Just now Leme had said that she vaguely remembers her mission.
“The numerous mysterious fragments inside the world of myths are all quietly gathering underwater. Not only in Japan, but in all of the 7 countries. At a certain stage, it would overturn the world.”
7 countries ——There is no doubt that it refers to the 7 Magically Advanced Countries.
“…So, in order to reach this goal, a harem is required?”
“There is no helping that you would feel troubled since you are suddenly being told that you would need to make a harem. But please rest assured! Leme will grant you a Magical Dress that would play a role in your creation of a harem!”
After hearing the phrase, Magical Dress, Kazuki, who was shocked, had white light shining on the middle finger of his left hand. The light had a bit of miss ——Suddenly, it became a ring that was made with materials similar to copper. As a Magical Dress, it was indeed too small.
“Because currently Leme had lost her memory, so she could only give you a small ring. However, this ring is the famous and legendary <Solomon’s Ring>! This ring can capture the sound of the girls’ hearts, measure their feelings and convert it to values.”
“…The effects are completely different than the ones that I know.”
In the legend, it was recorded that the Solomon’s Ring was to allow a person to understand the words of animals and plants.
“It has been rewritten in accordance with the modern style. Inject your Magic Power and test it out.”
Following what she said, he inserted Magic Power to the ring. Afterwards, a white light flashed in front of Kazuki’s eyes.
The light gradually depicted images and became a three-dimensional image information.
“These information is the measurement results of the girls’ feelings that you should conquer. In other words, it represents the positivity levels of the girls.”
The image that emerged in front recorded the names of girls that Kazuki was familiar with. Next to the name, a graph appeared one after another. The graph even had number values showing out.
Amasaki Mio —— 55, Otonashi Kaguya ——48, Hiakari Koyuki ——38, Hoshikaze Hikaru ——30.
“…T, This is the positivity levels of everybody towards me!?”
“This ring also has the ability to chase after and capture the mental changes of the girls. This is already in order for you to see it carefully and visually. If the girl’s positivity levels increase, a red heart will appear. If the positivity level decreases, then a black skull will appear. Then, it will be absorbed into the ring. Just like this, the graph will be changed. The images cannot be seen by others. If you are able to monitor the changes of positivity levels in real time, then you will become sensitive towards the other person’s true feelings and know what you have to do to make them happy. This way, no matter what kind of girl they are, you will be able to make them attracted to you!”
“…A human’s heart cannot be easily realizable like a game.”
Right, just when I thought about it ——isn’t this similar to a game?
And it is the simulation game that becomes intimate with girls ——In other words, a <Galge>!”
As a swordsman, I will not be captivated by that kind of thing, so far I have never had any concerns about it. However, it is not something I was completely uninterested in. But that actually falls onto my own pace…?
Amasaki Mio —— 55, Otonashi Kaguya ——48, Hiakari Koyuki ——38, Hoshikaze Hikaru ——30.
“…There must be a mistake. Why is Amasaki ranked number 1? That person seems to hate sword techniques and despise me.”
“I know, I know. Tsundere, Tsundere. There is no doubt that she is a tsundere.”
“Tsundere!? What is that…That kind of thing is also too strange.”
If Amasaki was 55, then wouldn’t Kanae’s positivity levels probably reach 300 million?
“Because there is no benchmark, I do not understand it well. Is it unable to measure Kanae’s positivity levels?”
“Although I do not know who you are talking about, but the only thing that is certain is that it only works with people who formed a contract with a Diva.”
“…Then, I can only consider these four people’s positivity levels? No matter how I look at it, I cannot believe that Amasaki is 55 when she does not hold any good intentions to me…Compared to Kaguya-senpai, which is lower, at first glance, she appears to be very friendly, but it is only on the surface. Hiakari is taking an indifferent attitude towards me, so that value doesn’t really matter. However, what is frustrating is…Hoshikaze-senpai’s 30. That is already treating me as if I was the same rank as a bug…”
“Wait, if you treat tsundere’s tsun as the truth, then using that as the basis, it will make others distrustful.”
Indeed, Mio would occasionally exhibit the unbelievable attitude when they had their first meeting.
Then that stingy attitude, compared to hating me ——It is more like joking awkwardly with me?
“A positivity level of around 30 means a position which is more than acquaintances, but less than friends. If the positivity level is over 65, you will obtain the key to their hearts. As a result, you will be able to use Level 1 Summoning Magic of the Diva that she contracted with. So, you must approach Amasaki Mio first!”
The 10 kinds of Inherent Magic that the Divas own are divided into 10 Levels. A Stigma Magic User could use a High Level Summoning Magic that matches the wavelength of the Diva.
In contrast, Kazuki is still in a powerless state right now. Although he is still at a state of being observed, but if this continues, he would also doubt the meaning of him staying at the Magic Division. In other words to get rid of his title as being the lowest-ranked, a Level 1 is good, anything is good, he must be able to use Summoning Magic.
However…why does he have to make Amasaki fall in love with him?
In other words, he would have to make someone fall in love with him for power? Isn’t this exactly…like a game!?
“…The so-called positivity levels, isn’t it fine if it is not feelings of love, but feelings of friendship?”
“Ehhh? You are speaking of friendship between men and women?”
“Because the so-called positivity levels shouldn’t just be all about feelings of love, right?”
“Friendship between men and women is not that easily achieved, right? Forming a friendship with all the 72 people feels even harder than forming a harem. It seems like you do not have much experience forming a friendship with females.”
“I was looked down by a young girl!?”
“Don’t use the phrase young girl! Leme is only in a young girl state because my strength and a portion of my memories are lost! If you slowly gather strength, Leme will also recover an appearance that matches her strength!”
“In the end, I am not interested in love.”
Remembering back, from the beginning of junior high, his male friends were all talking about girl-related topics. However, compared to that kind of thing, he only wanted to improve his sword techniques a bit more and earn recognition from his adopted father and Kanae.
“Not interested in love? Really?”
Towards Leme’s skeptical tone, Kazuki was a bit angry.
“Really. So I…will not use feelings of love, but positivity values from friendship to reach the pinnacle of Summoning Magic!”
Becoming friends with everybody here and getting rid of the incompetent evaluation of an E-Rank.
If that’s the case…I would be able to accept it and become motivated.
“…Forget it, since Our King (Basileus) says so, then Leme will not forcibly request it.”
“What is the meaning of <Our King>?”
“Fufufu, from now on, you will become a harem king. In Greek, Basileus Goetia means <The King that rules the 72 Pillars>”
Once they talked about Basileus, the leader of the secret organization would instead appear inside their mind.
The leader of <Dawn of the Almighty Wisdom>, Basileus Basileon…
Leaving the phrase <The world is being eroded by myths>, a man that was considered to be dead…
“I do not intend to become a harem king.”
“Forget it, Leme right now does not have any memories. She will temporarily look at the developments. Leme can materialize into such a physical body and could also let her materialized form to disappear into Astrum to observe your mental state.”
Once she said up to this point, Leme’s body completely disappeared.
Thinking that she had left just like this, she casually materialized again in the end.
“…Even though you did not steal a human’s body, yet you, as a Diva, are able to materialize in this world, it is originally something that is incredible.”
“There is a reason. First, Leme and your connection is much stronger than ordinary circumstances. Probably because we had kissed during our contract…Oiii, why are you blushing!”
“I did not blush!”
“Through the act of connecting the symbol of spiritual level, it strengthened the contract. Thanks to that, Leme cannot form another contract with a person besides you. In exchange, it greatly enhances the efficiency of Magic Power. There is another point…Although due to memory loss, so it is extremely vague, but apparently Leme seemed to be a Diva that has longing to humanity. So compared to the other Divas, there is a big change for the method of existing.”
“Has longing, to humanity…?”
“Probably, but I do not really remember about this matter. To the current Leme, it does not matter.”
“Won’t you feel uneasy if I do not make a harem, so you would not recover your memories?”
“For the queue, when Leme was summoned, she pretended to have no powers. It is because if the surrounding people knew about Leme’s ability of becoming stronger after collecting positivity levels, I believe the surrounding people would be defensive about it. Thus, in the future, it is best to keep Leme’s ability a secret from other people.”
Kazuki also did not want others to know about this ability.
…However, Liz Liza-sensei wanted me to report to her no matter what happened…
“Let us stop here. Leme is going to sleep. Our king, it is almost time to sleep, right?”
“Eh? You have your own room now. There are also empty rooms here.”
“I don’t want it. Leme will sleep together with Our King, who is her contractor.
Leme rolled her eyes, stared emotionlessly at Kazuki and rejected it.
“This is also because, although Leme’s body requires very little energy, but it is originally constructed by your Magic Power. Staying by your side would make her existence more stable.”
Leme tightly grabbed onto Kazuki’s hand and pulled him to the bed.
As close as possible, Leme treated Kazuki as a charger as she hugged him. Then, she used the remote control to turn off the lights inside the room. Inside the darkness, her brown skin was just as soft as a female human, and exuded an incredulous smell.
Having said that, with such a small child, it feels just like sleeping together with a younger sister.
“Good night! Our Stoic King.”
“…Who is stoic, naturally, the words about completely being uninterested in girls is a lie.”
He did not hate girls, of course he was interested.
But if he became active towards girls just for the sake of power…
It will be extremely rude to the other side.
After all, he did not have much confidence in becoming someone else’s partner in love.
Because, I——
The phone inside his pocket suddenly vibrated. It seems like he received a message.
“Nii-sama, it is a night with a beautiful moon. Kanae is about to go to sleep while dressing in extremely sexy pajamas. (Please feel free to imagine it and become excited). It will be great if I am able to see Nii-sama inside my dreams. Nii-sama, too, please see Kanae inside your dreams. Then, good night——Your loving Kanae.”
Kazuki typed back the phrase “Quickly brush your teeth and sleep” and replied.
