Naturally, Riezel was unaware of what Lilith had gone through during this time.
After completing the summoning of Lilith and the group of little fairies, he headed straight back to his room—or more accurately, it should have been said that he returned to Lizbeth's room.
During these past few days, he, Lizbeth, and Euryale had been staying in the same room, sleeping on the same bed and under the same blanket, to the point that the only thing they had yet to do was probably bathe together in the same tub of water.
At first, Riezel had firmly refused this arrangement.
He couldn't help it.
Ever since the blanket gained an Euryale who loved stripping people's clothes off, every time the three of them woke up, they would all be completely naked like newborn babies.
It was pure torture for him.
One should know that both Lizbeth and Euryale had unbelievably good figures.
With bodies like theirs, even if their faces had been below average, there would probably still have been people drooling with their eyes closed, let alone the fact that these two looked like heavenly maidens.
In the end, no matter how much Riezel loved adventure and excitement, he was still a normal, straight man.
If they tested him like this every single day, he felt that sooner or later, he would make a mistake and end up pushing down those two women who stood at the very top of the continent in terms of status, appearance, talent, and strength.
Over the past few days, he had already clearly felt that he was starting to lose control a little.
If this kept going...
'I'm really about to make a moral mistake here...'
Riezel sighed as three figures flashed through his mind.
One was Lefiya tearfully hitting him with her wand.
One was Ais expressionlessly drawing her sword and chopping him down.
And the last was Yuri, smiling gently as she released a purple wave that instantly disintegrated him into nothingness.
He couldn't help but feel that this definitely was not baseless paranoia.
He didn't know why, but his damned intuition was once again telling him that if he actually dared to do something like that, and those three women found out, then this would absolutely be the treatment waiting for him.
Yet when he proposed sleeping in separate rooms because he did not want to make a mistake, Lizbeth unexpectedly refused.
"Do you not want to sleep together with me, Master?"
Lizbeth's teary-eyed expression at the time still remained vivid in his memory as she threw out that question so pitifully.
"It's not that... don't you care about being naked in front of me?"
Back then, Riezel could not help but respond like that.
In the end, although the little princess was extremely shy and looked terribly embarrassed, she still said something surprising.
"A-Anyway, there's nothing worth looking at with someone like me, and you have already seen it many times. Besides, everything I have already belongs to you, so..."
Needless to say, the implication was clear—she would accept anything he chose to do to her.
At that moment, Riezel had nearly broken out in a cold sweat.
As for Luna, who had heard the entire conversation from the side, her expression had been so stiff that he was absolutely certain it meant she wanted to kill him. If she had not known she could not pull it off, she definitely would have acted on that impulse right there and then.
Fortunately, aside from Euryale, there had been no one else around at the time. Otherwise, based solely on Lizbeth's statement, depending on the circumstances, he might have suffered a social death on the spot.
In the end, he still failed to obtain permission to sleep separately.
Unable to resist Lizbeth's pitiful expression, he could only continue sleeping on the same bed with the two heavenly-beauty-level women every night, then get stripped naked without noticing a thing, only to wake up the next morning to an overwhelming visual assault of benefits, while the string in his heart called reason was gradually worn down little by little over time, simply waiting for the day it finally snapped.
Speaking of which, he had no choice but to admire Euryale a little.
'Even though I deliberately raised my guard and stayed alert even while sleeping, how exactly does this woman manage to strip me naked without alarming me at all?'
At the very least, Riezel was already a Level 8, and in terms of normal combat power, he could even rival a Level 9, yet he could not sense the slightest movement from Euryale in the middle of the night.
Could this woman have trained some sort of divine skill like Hephaestus and the other gods?
But seriously, mastering the divine skill of stripping clothes was such an absurd reality.
"Hahh..."
When he thought about how tonight would once again inevitably end with him getting stripped naked, Riezel became worried about his increasingly unreliable rationality.
Just how much longer could he endure?
Three days?
Two days?
Or... would tomorrow already be the limit?
'...Looks like I need to find a chance to vent some of this accumulated stress.'
If he remembered correctly, the recording magic crystal that Yuri's little brother had kindly gifted him was still lying inside the storage space of the Dimensional Magic Cube.
Maybe he should find an opportunity to make use of it?
Just as Riezel's will was being worn down to the point where he was starting to come up with terrible ideas, his heart suddenly stirred.
"..."
After remaining silent for a moment, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and strode back into Lizbeth's room, which was already right in front of him.
"Ah, Master!"
Inside the room, Lizbeth let out a small cry of surprise, and her face immediately turned red.
Looking closely, the little princess was currently in a rather improper state, seemingly in the middle of changing into her pajamas. Beside her, Euryale had already changed first and was tilting her head as she looked at Riezel walking in.
"You pervert! Don't you know how to knock?!"
Luna, who had been helping Lizbeth change her clothes, shouted angrily as she hurriedly helped Lizbeth get properly dressed.
Under normal circumstances, Riezel would probably have reacted to the sight before him to some extent. However, not only did he show no reaction whatsoever now, but he also spoke with terrifying calmness the very next moment.
"We have guests."
As soon as those words were spoken, both the blushing Lizbeth and the furious Luna froze at the same time.
"..."
Meanwhile, Euryale seemed to sense something as she suddenly raised her head, and her figure flickered before vanishing from the spot.
*BANG!*
Almost simultaneously, a muffled crashing sound suddenly erupted from outside the door.
*Swish!*
*Swish!*
Accompanied by two sharp sounds cutting through the air, two somewhat disheveled figures burst into the room from outside.
Euryale's figure appeared like a ghost before the two intruders and, with a flick of her fingers and a wave through the air, she instantly unleashed five claw-like slashes of light that enveloped the pair.
Those claw lights were incredibly fast and sharp, slicing through the atmosphere so quickly that even the piercing sonic booms failed to catch up immediately.
"!!!"
Seeing the approaching attack, the expressions of the two under attack changed drastically at once.
Immediately afterward, one roared furiously while the other rapidly retreated backward.
"HAAAHHH—!!!"
Instantly, the man who had roared experienced a dramatic surge in muscle mass across his entire body, his height abruptly increasing from around 1.9 meters to well over 2 meters. At the same time, he gripped a longsword in one hand and a shortsword in the other.
Carrying a surging aura that even shocked Riezel and Lizbeth, he charged straight toward the incoming five claw lights.
*BOOM!*
*Clang!*
First, he swung the longsword in a violent slash, colliding with one claw light and canceling it out amid a thunderous explosion. Immediately afterward, he swung the shortsword toward another claw light, blocking it amid a burst of sparks before being blasted backward by the impact.
Under such circumstances, the remaining three claw lights naturally pursued him mercilessly, about to tear him into pieces.
Fortunately, his retreating companion made her move at that moment.
Holding a wand, she rapidly chanted a magic spell and completed it just before the claw lights struck her companion.
*Buzz!*
In the next second, a wave-like ripple of mysterious magical energy spread outward, enveloping the entire room and causing the atmosphere inside to become viscous.
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
Several muffled explosions rang out in succession as the remaining three claw lights seemed to crash against invisible walls before being scattered apart by exploding currents of air.
Through their coordination, the two intruders successfully blocked Euryale's claw attacks, which seemed capable of severing anything, before regrouping and landing on the ground together.
Euryale blinked once before suddenly dashing forward again, unleashing that ghost-like speed as she attacked the two intruders once more.
Seeing that, the expressions of the pair instantly changed dramatically, as though they were facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, and they hurriedly and awkwardly dealt with Euryale's relentless assault.
For a moment, the room became filled with the constantly flickering figures of the three fighters. Even though there were only three people present, it looked as if countless individuals were flashing around the room, leaving afterimages and illusions everywhere.
Moreover, their clash was extraordinarily intense.
Although they did not use any overwhelmingly destructive attacks capable of blowing away the ceiling, the fierce exchanges occurring several or even dozens of times per second still filled the entire room with a savage battle atmosphere, causing muffled explosions, rumbling blasts, sonic booms, and all kinds of noises to continuously erupt.
"Wh-What's going on?!"
Luna had already hidden behind Lizbeth.
Looking at the battle that her eyes could not follow at all, where she could only see countless afterimages and exploding shockwaves, she continuously let out terrified screams.
"Master!"
At the same time, Lizbeth moved to Riezel's side.
At some point, the still-sheathed Moslow had already appeared in her hand, and her gaze toward the two intruders was filled with vigilance.
"Relax."
Riezel comforted the little princess for the moment before turning to look at the pair himself, only to find himself both surprised and puzzled by what he saw.
'Where did these two experts even come from?'
Needless to say, anyone capable of blocking Euryale's attacks, even through teamwork, was undoubtedly an expert.
Among these two intruders, one of them was, at the very least, a Sword Saint. Moreover, he was no ordinary Sword Saint, but a veteran among them, perhaps even one comparable to a Level 8 Sword Saint like Florent.
As for the other, she appeared to be a magician, yet her use of Combat-Class Magic was probably even above Nibald, the grandmaster of the world of magic, who could rival a Sword Saint.
Of course, if that were all, Riezel would not have been too surprised.
What truly surprised him was that these two experts were both very young.
One was a young man around twenty-five years old, while the other was a beautiful young woman who looked even younger than him.
'Interesting...'
Riezel instantly became interested.
