After he finished with Nanao, Basara headed home. He wanted to show the crystal to the girls back at his house.

He arrived not too long past dinnertime. Everyone ate normally, but Basara asked everyone to remain in the living room, as he had something to show them.

"This is what Chisato has been working on." Basara said as he displayed the crystal.

"What's that?"

"A crystal?"

"What's special about it, Basara-san?"

"I can feel some sort of power coming from it."

"I think it's a divine power. The one who made this is a goddess, right Basara-sama?"

Basara said he would explain everything, as it would be hard to answer everyone's questions at the same time.

"Chisato made this for me. It can create a barrier that can be used both for defense of for trapping an enemy. Also, let's say I lock myself and an enemy in the barrier and I receive some damage, when the barrier is undone, the damage will be gone, both for me and the enemy. Well, it only works for the body, attacks that go for the mind are a different thing."

Well, the crystal already does so much I wonder why Chisato is a nurse and not an inventor.

"Also, there is one more thing, though this one was unintentional. I'll give a better explanation after, but basically, I can extract some sort of power from you girls if we have sex inside the barrier. Since it reverses time, you won't lose your powers if we do it inside the barrier. But I won't force you to do it. If anyone thinks they're not ready, then I can leave you outside. Since I need to accumulate power for the battle, I planned to put up and barrier tomorrow and keep it until before the battle."

Basically, Basara was telling them that his plan was to make the most use of the crystal's power and accumulate power for the battle against the European heroes. As he had said, Basara didn't want to force them to have sex if they didn't think they were ready. Even so, the girls' answer couldn't be more obvious.

"Of course we want to do it, Basara-san."

"Even more if it'll help you, onii-chan."

Maria and Mio said, respectively. Although he couldn't say it was unexpected, Basara was happy that the girls were willing to help him.

"Everyone… then, I'll properly explain everything about this power now."

Basara then explained everything he thought he needed to. He could have told them about Chisato and Nanao, but decided that was better left for another day, preferably with the two being present.

After that, everyone went to do their respective preparations, whether physical or psychological. Mio and Yuki made up and excuse to skip a week of class. They figured it was worth it if they could help Basara.

Then, everyone went to sleep. They could barely wait for the next day.

Basara… had some sort of bad feeling, so he woke up in the middle of the night. He went downstairs to the living room. There, he met…

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh~ you woke up? Quick, hide."

The one there was Anna. Basara didn't know why she was there, but decided to follow her order, for now. He hid somewhere while Anna was lying on the couch.

It didn't take long for it to come. A guy entered the Toujou household. Basara recognized him, it was Cillín, another one of the heroes after Basara.

Cillín looked like he was about to head upstairs when he saw Anna and stopped. Instead of going up, he moved closer to Anna.

"Why are you here? Don't tell me you came to give Basara a blowjob or something."

"Maybe. You came here for that too? I didn't think you swung that way. Where were you going?"

"I was just going to pay a visit to the girls upstairs. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Basara almost jumped out then, but Anna was faster.

"I don't recall any mission to kill any of them, so, in this situation, you'd be just a rapist invading a girl's bedroom. In that case, I'd have to side with Basara and the girls and fight you."

Anna stood up. Cillín turned around to look at her.

"Do you really think you can beat me?"

"Maybe not alone. But with Basara and the girls' help, who knows? By the way, did you come here to collect Mio's blood? Do you need to re-stock the gravity magic?"

"… No, I just came here to have some fun, but I guess I'm busted."

Cillín then went for the entrance, he was going to leave. Although he personally didn't mind fighting everyone here, he knew it was not a realistic decision to make. Basara didn't know, but Anna was the worst opponent for Cillín to face, not because of her power, but because of her influence.

"Also, make sure you know which side you're on." Cillín said to Anna before leaving. Not a trace of his presence remained.

After a few seconds, Anna told Basara to come out of hiding. There was no need to ask what Cillín had come there to do, as that was more than obvious.

"Why did you do that? For you, they are also enemies, right?"

"Like I told you before, I'm the super-hero type of hero. I don't want to just kill a demon and say I'm one of the good guys, I want to help people out. Whether they are demons, humans or whatever doesn't matter."

"Also, I came to pick this up." Anna said as she showed Basara a plastic case. Inside, it contained a pill. That pill had been made by Shella.

Anna going into his room to pick that was probably what made Basara wake up. Even though he had asked Shella to make that, Basara didn't plan to use it.

"I was going to give it to you, after all, that was my part of the deal."

Back at the hero village, Basara struck a deal with Anna. His part had been to give that pill to her, so that she could awaken more of her divine powers.

"Then, I'll be going. It was a pleasure doing business with you, Basara. Although I guess there is still one more part. Well, make the most of this final week. I'll see you next week."

Anna said and, just like Cillín, disappeared without a trace. Basara reached the conclusion that he would need to put up a stronger barrier around the house after everything is over.

Basara then went to sleep. The next day, when he woke up, Basara told the girls he would activate the crystal. They said each one would wait for Basara in their respective underground rooms.

Basara activated the crystal and the girls went to their rooms to wait for him. There should only be about a week until the battle against the European heroes, but time was distorted inside the barrier, so they had way longer.

After everything was set up, Basara moved. The first girl he visited was…
