A/N:- Hello~ The usual routine of me 'warning' you about NSFW content despite you not caring. This warning is only present when there is penetration. Anything else is slightly NSFW.
-----
Sitting at the dining table, I look over at everyone present as a comfortable sensation emerges within me.
Currently, the only ones that aren't present are Ddraig, Saturnus, Ravel, and Gaia.
Even Eri is present, who is adorably sitting on the table near Ayumi and enjoying a small pot of honey I created for her.
As for those who aren't present, Ravel should be busy with matters related to the underworld, as she wouldn't miss dinner with us for any other reason.
Leaving her aside, I am curious about Ddraig is up to. Using Clairvoyance, I run a quick scan of the mansion.
Unexpectedly, before I find Ddraig, I locate Saturnus in the living room. Currently, she is holding a Nintendo Switch while curiously gazing at it. I'm sure that it is something akin to ancient technology for her.
A small smile forms on my lips before I shift my sight away from her and get back to looking for Ddraig. However, even after having searched most of the mansion, including her room, I don't find her
Could she be in someone's bedroom?
With that thought settled in my head, I telekinetically pull a glass of water to myself before continuing the search.
Finally, my sight arrives in my room, which I reckoned would be least likely for her to be in.
All of a sudden, I choke on the water I'm drinking as a response to the startling sight.
”Brother Yu?” a concerned voice reaches my ears, causing me to draw my sight back to my body.
”It's nothing,” I calmly say while looking into her worried eyes and sensing several other pairs of eyes on me.
Nevertheless, the sight I just witnessed was quite something. I never would've thought that Ddraig, the prideful dragon that introduced herself as an Emperor and whatnot, would be dancing around while in a little girl's school uniform.
That's not even the end of it. Obviously, the school uniform belongs to Ayumi, as, out of all the girls that go to school, her figure is the closest to Ddraig's.
Nevertheless, I wonder if something has awakened inside Ddraig. Looks like my decision to grant her a body was the right one. Now, instead of being isolated inside a piece of equipment, Ddraig will be able to live as she pleases.
”Everyone is awfully quiet today,” a voice interrupts my thoughts, causing me to shift my attention back to the dining table.
The one that just spoke is Krul.
She has a point, though. Usually, there would be a multitude of conversations at the dining table. And the one who would warrant these conversations would be...
”What?” Misa says in an irritated tone as a response to everyone's gaze, including mine.
”As I thought, something is wrong,” Krul remarks.
”Did something happen?” Nao questions while shooting me a glance.
”Hey, don't look at me like that,” I say, ”She just awakened her power a short while ago.”
”Power?” Krul curiously asks.
”Yes,” I say before giving a brief explanation regarding what I was told by Irene before.

”So, I won't be getting one?” Tiffania says in a downhearted tone.
”Unfortunately, no,” I say.
She won't, right?
{Affirmative. Her body is one that belongs to the Platform she is from.}
How annoying. If it's like this, when I transport anyone 'ordinary' over to the Rift while intending they gain some power, I am to terminate their body and transport their soul directly.
”Hey, you said that this girl is your cousin, right?” Nao suddenly asks.
”Well, yes. Over at that side, she is.”
”Don't misunderstand me, but why did you bring her over?”
”Well, she is the reason I was able to accomplish what I set out to do, so I couldn't leave her there once I was 'done' with her, right?”
”Of course, not,” Nao says, ”But, she doesn't seem to like staying here.”
Hearing this, a slightly confused look appears on my face, meanwhile, Tiffania begins fidgeting as she nervously says, ”That's not correct!”
”Oh? But you were just sitting at a corner and not speaking to anyone,” Misa, who seems to be in a better condition, remarks.
”I-I just didn't know what to say...” Tiffania responds.
Was she like that? I suppose if she was, then Tiffa must have felt lonely over here.
Should I bring Matilda over? I trust her enough now. Although her job in Sorcerers' Lair is questionable, she is a woman that cares for Tiffa like a sister.
Besides, she won't be able to accomplish much in the Rift. After all, it's not possible to use magic from Sorcerers' Lair here.
”Tiffania,” I call out in a firm tone after having settled my mind, ”I will bring Matilda over.”
As a response to this, a delighted expression forms on her face, while Sora, Misa, and Nao squint their eyes.
I cough once before saying, ”Matilda is akin to a sister for Tiffa. I thought that it would be better for Tiffa to have someone she's familiar with close by.”
After a few more seconds of intent staring, the three of them get back to eating.
Just as I'm about to do the same, I notice that Yuno has an odd look on her face.
”There are more...” I hear her mutter to herself.
Right. I need to pamper her later.
Sensing my gaze, Yuno looks back at me and beams a smile as the strange look on her vanishes.

”Why?!” Misa exclaims.
”What do you mean, 'why'? I will be here to make sure that your newly awakened power doesn't get out of hand.”
Hearing this, Misa's expression turns into that of disbelief as she says, ”It won't get out of hand as long as you're a good distance away from me!”
”Now, now,” I say with my hands raised in front of me to calm her down, ”It's getting late. Let's not disturb the others' sleep, alright?
”Look, Misa. I've already managed to convince my sisters and Koneko that I won't be sleeping by their side tonight.”
”Hey, don't you think that it's weird you're sleeping with your sisters in the first place?”
”No?” I dubiously respond. What's wrong about a brother spending time with his sisters?
”Ugh,” Misa scoffs before lying down on her bed.
”Are you not going to change into your nightwear?” I say while inspecting her attire.
