Nicole received a call after the club hours started.

It was from her personal student. She had already received the news and knew beforehand of his special reward as he talked with her about it during one of the learning sessions.

This time he called to invite her over for lunch at his place for celebration. He wouldn't be around for three days so he wished to spend some time with those he specially cared for in the academy.

She agreed readily and was inwardly happy that she managed to occupy such a significant role in his heart that he would unhesitatingly reveal it as if he was speaking a fact before her.

His tone didn't even shake for a second.

After accepting the invitation she informed the club that she would be absent today with a text before hurriedly going back to her place to dress up more appropriately for such a happy occasion.

Unknowingly, she took great care of her looks for him while before it wasn't so.

°°°°

Blue busied himself in the kitchen but this time it was genuine cooking instead of the spiking he would let the family experience from time to time.

He had no other plans for them till he returned from the three day long training.

While cooking he glanced at the two girls standing behind him. They were observing his culinary arts with great interest as if they were looking at a masterpiece.

The affection both sisters had for him in their eyes was unconcealed.

Karla was the clueless girl as such an obvious hint still didn't arouse her suspicion since the very thought that her big sister, who she knew from her birth, was having an illicit affair with her boyfriend was inconceivable.

He also preferred to keep it like that.

At present he had few individuals who were truly important for his goals in this new life. The family trio of Laura, Karla and Clara. Personal teacher Nicole, vice principal Julie and party member plus “close friend” Luna the reincarnator. Lastly, a natural born bicorn named Horizon with a hidden secret behind it.

The sisters were the only two who saw the most progress in his plans at the moment.

Blue started setting up the table while those two helped him with dishes he cooked. This present situation also reflected his future expectations of these two.

He naturally wouldn't maintain the status quo and at an opportune time he would make a move to drastically reshuffle the entire relationship tree they currently had. His progress with the two sisters was pivotal to make them his sharp weapons that will work to clear obstacles and hurdles on his plans.

Like how Karla had to eventually relent to make space for Luna lest he was hurt again. This also had an opposite reaction to Luna as her true self in the future would only see this point of when she made Karla relent by herself to get to him.

As expected, Karla had become a fine weapon for him that worked diligently.

Clara on the other hand played a crucial role to help on the main mission involving Laura. She will also prove to further “sharpen” Karla for him later. Well, that's for a much later period.

However this pair also had their limits.

The academy duo was out of their reach. It had to be personally handled by him without involving the two. His relationship with Nicole has been maintained in a stable phase. He was absolutely certain that if he appraised her, which he wouldn't yet because of hidden danger, her favorability point would be at the peak of “goodwill” stage.

She only missed a sexual stimulation from him to take another step. He obviously wouldn't give her that as he was sure of a side mission when he finally appraised her so why would he waste it in such a way.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Wasting Karla's oral virginity side mission was already regretful enough.

On the other hand, Julie saw the least progress out of everyone. Except for when he got to meet her a handful of times because of “proper” reasons, his interaction with her was severely restricted.

As a noble, some commoner would obviously not be able to get past her mental blockade of social status disparity. At best, he had been able to secure a spot in her mind as a “worthwhile young prodigy” from an “interesting young prodigy”.

This was the pitiful extent he reached.

It may be considered extremely honorable to have garnered the favor of a noble from others perspective but to him, who was a top powerhouse and had lorded over a vast territory in the Abyss, a mere human noble was nothing much to mention. He wouldn't even have glanced at her in his past life.

That was how lofty his social status was.

Anyways, the past is now gone while only the present remains to be suffered. Though she saw the least progress the most important woman among the group, Laura, was worked on by him as he got Clara involved to “expose” her sometime ago.

The exposure was actually a bit one sided. He discussed a “solution” with Clara and got her to first witness how her mother would end up sensing him being intimate with Karla before satisfying her fetish of voyeurism.

He obviously used many items from subspace to get Laura to sense their intimacy without having alerted Clara who was on high alert. Though she is higher level than him but at the end of the day she was still a newbie player. His means along with the access to his past life’s wealth made him overpowered. In her case, at least.

After seeing the entire situation unfold Clara seriously felt perplexed as to what to do with this perverted mother of hers. She even cried a little in his embrace. Though he just finished fucking her sister, Clara didn't mind it much as she was already used to his and Karla's intimacy from way earlier thanks to his proper conditioning by the open show of affection he displayed in front of the family.

Actually, if he suddenly became estranged with Karla because of her illicit relation then she would instead be greatly dismayed as her personality was attuned towards her family’s well being. In her subconscious, Karla was happiest when his affection showered on her so she also ended up preferring to maintain the delicate balance without ignoring her own feelings.

A masterstroke indeed.

It was how he set up the groundwork for Clara's involvement in the main mission of Laura during this time.

The only remaining individual, the horse.

There was actually nothing much to say about this naive beast. From the initial instilling of fear about the “abductor” to the eventual meeting with the family the plans he set for it progressed without any obstacle in the way.

Like his guesses, Horizon warmed up to Laura later on through the daily conversations and thanks to that the predominant thoughts of fear for that “abductor” was subtly replaced by “befriending” her instead.

He then swooped in and got to the main goal of turning it into a mount for him by showing it all sorts of equestrian videos from social network service, or sns for short, thus successfully raising its curiosity over the “cool” activities they could do together.

With that he trained with it whenever he had free time from other schemes.

He truly had to learn from the ground up as his past life never involved anything about having a mount to ride on. At best he had his women to ride on whenever he wanted, on the bed, of course. Abyss spawn didn't need to bother with a mount thanks to the bloodline abilities as actually having one would either be a burden or redundant.

Now that he was a human, on the outside at least, he naturally took this path as the materials were present before him to try it out. Since he called the horse his “best friend” he now planned it to advance to the “sworn brother” stage.

“At that point, even if it was given the chance to go back to Holy Beast Nation… heh.”

He snickered inwardly as the table was set up properly.

He then received Luna who arrived much earlier than the appointed time. He was given a hug by her to which he showed a surprised reaction just before hugging her back since she was his “close friend” after all. It wasn't anything out of place.

The hug was a short one and devoid of intimacy much to her dismay. Of course, Karla showed up with a faint scowl but didn't say anything rude. She told her to settle herself in a nearby room as they were still waiting for teacher Nicole.

Clara, on the other hand, only raised an eyebrow at her hug but she didn't seem to think much of it since her sister appeared to have no trouble over accepting a close friend of his from the opposite sex. She also trusted her sister's judgment as much as she did of herself.

About ten minutes later, Nicole arrived with a dashing dress that showed off her assets without giving an excessive impression of it. Her dressing style was especially high end compared to the casual dresses of other occupants.

This brought a faint blush of embarrassment on her face but that quickly changed into relieved and a happy one after he complimented her outfit with an appreciative gaze.

With all the invited guests present the celebration, for the day time, began.
