"I''m hungry," Evelyn mentioned once again as she swung her legs, slightly swaying her head from side to side with a ratherfortable expression.


    Right behind her was... *Sniff... sniff...* like a cockroach enjoying a grand feast, rolling around on my bed — on *my* bed, mind you, an important detail to note. She wrapped herself in my sheets, her eyes glinting sinisterly. "It smells like Arthur..." she murmured strange things. I let her do whatever she wanted — if she''s happy, I suppose it''s fine.


    Shifting my gaze back to Evelyn... she''s the more normal one, I guess. She just asks for food and is content. Thinking for a moment, I walk over to my fridge.


    Stay updated with empire


    Looking inside, "There are ingredients to make something." Luckily, I can cook — one of the advantages of living alone.


    Turning back to Evelyn: "Anything in particr?" I ask while putting on an apron.


    Evelyn tilted her head and thought for a moment. "No, anything will do," she nodded, her eyes brightening a bit, seemingly excited. I considered asking Leslie, but... better not interrupt her.


    Nodding in agreement, I said, "Leave it to me."


    "Okay, I''ll wait," Evelyn replied, ncing around.


    Ignoring the fact that I currently had two beautiful young women in my room... now that I think about it, this is the first time I''ve had femalepany in my room, and here I am cooking... Chuckling silently at the absurdity of the situation, I shook my head and sighed, gathering five eggs and some vegetables.


    After a few minutes...


    "Dinner is ready!" I called out, satisfied as I looked at the three tes on the table. I heard footsteps heading in my direction... though the room wasn''t that big. The first to arrive, of course, was Evelyn. It would be an insult for a food fanatic like her to bete. She stared at the te in front of her with shining eyes, quickly sitting down but not touching the food.


    Leslie arrived right after, bouncing slightly... because she was still wrapped in my sheets. Smiling, she took a seat. By the way, all three of us were still wearing our academy uniforms.


    Sitting down as well, I said, "Let''s eat," and with my approval, we dug into the food. What I made was simple: scrambled eggs with bread stuffed with cheese, apanied by a cup of coffee. It was delicious.

    "What are you doing this weekend?" Leslie asked while wrapping herself tighter in the sheets, frowning slightly... How to exin this...


    "I''m going somewhere... let''s say I''m visiting my parents." Parents who sold me into very... pretty sad, really. Consoling myself... "I want to go too!" Leslie immediately dered, just as I had expected.


    "Hmm?" Evelyn lifted her head from one of the couches, her eyes opening. She stared at me intently. "I want to go too," she added.


    "Well, this gotplicated," I thought to myself. Both of them want toe with me. There''s no way I can take them to the demon world, being vessels of seraphim. Like Lilith mentioned, only the Seven Sins can sense such a presence, and I don''t even want to imagine what would happen if all six surrounded Lilith''s house. It would beplete chaos. So, it''s a definite no.


    I don''t want more problems. Frowning slightly, I said, "I can''t take you with me..."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "But why...?" Leslie''s eyes dimmed, clearly disappointed. "Huh?" Evelyn tilted her head, seemingly asking for an exnation.


    "I can''t take you because..." How should I put it? Thinking for a moment: "It''s personal, family-rted." That was the best excuse I coulde up with. "But..." raising a finger, "I know you''ll somehow find a way to follow me," I thought to myself, ncing around. "You can stay in my room," I said with a smile. I think that''s a fair trade.


    The two remained silent, exchanging nces. "Deal, but... you''ll be back by Monday, right?" Leslie was the first to speak.


    "Of course, I''ll be back by Monday. I wouldn''t want to miss a day of ss with the annoying professor..." obviously referring to Emilia, and we are technically still punished.


    "When are you leaving?" Evelyn asked another question.


    Well, that''s another issue... "Tonight," I said, watching as the nket of darkness fell. I suppose Lilith will show up in a few minutes, or maybe... she''s already watching. She''s a big stalker.


    "Isn''t it dangerous?" Leslie furrowed her brow, clearly concerned. "Mm-hm," Evelyn nodded, adding, "You''re weak." She said it without hesitation or consideration for my feelings. Very direct!


    It felt like a dagger stabbed my heart. I almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Don''t worry about it, and I assure you, I''m not weak!" I said, ring darkly at Evelyn.


    She tilted her head. "You''re lying. You''re weak. I could crush you easily." Sometimes she says terrifying things... but looking at myself... "Well,pared to her...


    I suppose she''s right," I thought while twisting my lips slightly. "Don''t worry about it," was all I could manage, and silence followed. I stared out the window; there wasn''t much more we could do to pass the time. Evelyn was half-asleep, Leslie was still squirming on my bed, and I was feelingfortable in the chair. In the quiet, the three of us let time flow on its own.


    After a while, Evelyn finally fell asleep, moving to the bed before closing her eyes. Beside her, Leslie also stopped moving and drifted off.


    "Hmmm." Stroking my chin, I admired the beautiful scene before me.


    "Impressive, right?" A voice came from behind me. "Don''t you feel the urge to throw yourself at them, to take everything sacred from their bodies, cover them in your essence, and make them yours? Aren''t you a man?" Lilith mocked me.


    Turning towards her, I gave her a meaningful look. "Do you think I''m some kind of sex-crazed beast?" Crossing my arms with a grin, I added, "I have limits, you know. I''m an exemry man," I said with pride.


    Lilith stared at me in silence. "Even from here, I can sense the impulses you''re suppressing with all your might. You can''t fool the embodiment of lust," she said, a mischievous smile forming on her lips.


    "Well, that didn''t go as nned either." I frowned and nced at the two beautiful young women again. "I don''t think there''s a man alive who could resist this..." Sighing to myself, I shrugged. "Shall we go?" I asked her.


    "Of course," Lilith nodded, and with a snap of her fingers, the world around us distorted...
