Due to Yuuto's big Detonate magic, the guests and Devil King Candidates soon started leaving the Unveiling. Yuuto himself had fallen unconscious and was taken away by Lizel, Miyabi and Reina.

Once everyone had left was when the cleaning crew should start their job. However, Barbatos made a certain request for Amon.

"Could you get them to wait like… 30 minutes. It seems I have to talk with someone."

"… Fine."

Amon obeyed his father. He had a good idea of what would be talked about after he left. And because of that, he knew that the contents of the following conversation shouldn't be heard by just anyone.

Barbatos was not alone once Amon left the room. There were 2 other people still present.

Those were Marchosias Oinomori and Fleminar Astarte. Candidates of Emperor and Priestess respectively and, other than Barbatos himself, the only survivors of the previous Devil King War.

"Whatever you're going to say, just save it. Nothing will stop me from getting my revenge."

"Yeah, yeah, I get you want to beat me, Marchosias. But I really have something important to discuss with you two."

"That's interesting, Gandou-kun. I've been trying to reach you ever since you defeated us, yet you've avoided me all this time."

Never before had there been any survivors from the Devil King War. The reason was simple, apparently, the Arcanas wouldn't recognize a victor until all the other Candidates were dead, at least, that's what was thought until the previous war.

Barbatos won and became the Devil King, even though he spared Marchosias and Fleminar. To this day, no one knows how he did it, even the survivors themselves could only say that, one day, Barbatos seemed different.

But the how didn't matter as much as the why, at least for Marchosias. He had made many sacrifices and was ready to kill his opponents, or die trying. But, as if to make fun of his efforts, Barbatos defeated him and let him live to tell the tale.

As for Fleminar, the how interested her more than the why. Over the last 20 years since the previous Devil King War, she lost most of her interest in the position of Devil King and even found other things that interested her more. So she wants to know how Barbatos got around an unbreakable rule of the Devil King War, and what other rules might not be so unbreakable as they seem.

Barbatos could only give an awkward smile as he stood under the scrutiny of Marchosias and Fleminar. Fleminar seemed to be willing enough to hear him, but Marchosias seemed to be just waiting for a chance to fight.

Of course, Barbatos knew that chance wouldn't be now. Barbatos is still the Devil King, if Marchosias attacked him thoughtlessly, the Oinomori family would be the ones to pay the price.

"Well, it's a long story, and I'd rather tell it only once, so could we wait for later in this Devil King War? All I can tell you two for now is that there's a good reason for why I did what I did in the previous war, and it'll all make sense once you learn of it."

"To hell with this! You want the end of this war? Fine, all the other Candidates will be dead by next week. But by then, rather than talking, we'll be killing each other."

Betraying Barbatos' expectations, Marchosias was ready to fight then and there. Just with his change of mood, enough mana surged forth to leave cracks on the ground. He was clearly much stronger than he had been in the previous war.

But Barbatos couldn't just take this. It's not what he wanted, but if fighting was inevitable, then so be it. Barbatos also let out mana in a way that didn't lose to Marchosias.

"Oinomori-kun, please calm yourself. Or should I put you to sleep so you can cool your head?"

But the fight never began, because Fleminar didn't let it. It was interesting to think that rather than these 2 men, who were probably the strongest devils currently alive, a woman a head shorter than both of them would be exerting even more pressure.

Fleminar's stern look was all it took to get the 2 men to back off. The scene almost looked like a mother with 2 troublesome children.

"But Oinomori-kun makes a good point, Gandou-kun. Both him and I are much stronger than any other Candidate, the winner will be either him or me."

"I know that, that's why I want to ask you 2 to stay put for now. Let the children have their fun, let them grow from facing each other. Who knows, maybe some of them will surprise even us."

"Bleh, that's meaningless. However strong they grow, they won't catch up to someone who's been getting stronger for the last 20 years. But fine, I'll play your game for now."

With those parting words, Marchosias left. At least he seemed like he wouldn't do anything for now, so Barbatos would be happy with that result.

Now, all that was left was to convince Fleminar.

"How about you, Fleminar? Can you do what I asked, or maybe I should promise a reward or something?"

"I wasn't planning on going after anyone that didn't come for me first anyway. Rather, I think I'll take this chance to observe some… interesting things. Between the previous war and this one, I've been getting curious if the rules we have to follow are as set in stone as we thought."

"Aah, Yuuto caught your eye? Just between you and me, he's my personal favorite for this war."

"You shouldn't have favorites, Gandou-kun, and you definitely shouldn't tell them to me. But in any case, I'll do as you asked for now."

Fleminar left. And, just like that, the biggest worry Barbatos had for this Devil King War was taken care of, at least for some time.

Amon came back with the cleaning crew. Since both Marchosias and Fleminar left, the talk was clearly over. He and his father left the professionals to do their jobs.

And so ended the night of the Unveiling. At least, for most people.

/

When I woke up, I was in a bathroom. It took me a second to recognize the place. It was the Palace's bathroom.

"Yuuto's awake already?"

I turned around to find Lizel-senpai. It seemed like she had been holding me in a sitting position. We were currently in the bathtub in the Palace's bathroom. Lizel-senpai had her back against the tub's edge.

"Lizel-senpai, is everyone fine? Miyabi, Reina, and also Stella and Neith."

"Yes, everyone is fine. But you don't have to worry about others like Stella and Neith."

"Well, they're Lizel-senpai's friends, so I thought I should ask. Also, sorry for acting rashly like that. I fought when I didn't have to and even showed my strength to the other Candidates."

"Really. … But I'll forgive Yuuto if you become so much stronger that what you showed today won't even make a difference."

"Yes, Lizel-senpai!"

How happy I was to have such a forgiving person taking care of me. Of course, I'd be sure to do everything in my power to correspond to her expectations.

"By the way, Lizel-senpai, where are Miyabi and Reina?"

"We finished giving Yuuto a little bit of mana with Healing Lovers. Remember the afterparty I mentioned? I asked them to get a few things while you woke up."

Aah, I see. But I wondered why it was only "a little bit of mana". I mean, I like being awake for Healing Lovers, but I thought the girls would have just gone ahead without me.

I just then took a good look at Lizel-senpai. She was wearing some kind of micro-bikini. The area being covered was so small I was troubled where to look now that I'd noticed it. Not just that, the color was an almost transparent white.

And now that I notice it, I also feel a little strange, like down there. I look down at my own body only to find that I'm naked. Makes enough sense, since I don't have a swimsuit in Ginsei Academy, but still I didn't expect this!

"L-Lizel-senpai, m-my clothes."

"Oh, we didn't have a swimsuit for Yuuto, so we just took off everything. We'll fill the bathtub soon, so there's no need to worry about anything."

I feel like she didn't quite understand my problem here. I thought I should maybe get a towel or something, but then Miyabi and Reina arrived.

"Senpaii, we got the stuff you asked for. Oh, hey Yuuto."

"Yuuto-san, seems to be feeling better, desu…"

Both Miyabi and Reina were wearing the same almost transparent micro-bikini as Lizel-senpai. For some reason, Reina's was the one with the least coverage. Why do I feel like I'm committing a sin or something?

Also, Reina was the only one to react to my being naked. Her cheeks flushed red and she avoided looking directly at me. But she still tried to sneak in glances from time to time.

Strange as it may sound, I felt a little relieved at that. I mean, for a second, I thought it was something like that story about the emperor who got new clothes or something, with how Lizel-senpai and Miyabi seemed unaffected.

"Heeh, I see Yuuto's all fired up again. Did you get 'gatchin' because of senpai? Or was it me? Or maybe Reina?"

As Miyabi eloquently pointed out, my, uhh, lower parts are 'ready for battle'. As for the answer to Miyabi's question, it was the 3 of them, but there's no way I could say that.

"I-it's good that Yuuto-san is feeling lively desu! I thought Yuuto-san would have felt weak after letting out that much."

"Wait, what?"

"Now, Yuuto, let's leave the tub so we can clean it and then fill it with water."

Lizel-senpai helped me out. Miyabi took a showerhead from somewhere and sprayed water on the tub. I noticed a certain liquid flowing down the drain.

Considering what Reina said earlier… oh God… did I…? When they were doing Healing Lovers with me unconscious…? T-this was embarrassing.

Once the "mysterious liquid" had been washed off, Reina turned on the faucet so the tub would be filled with warm water. It only took about a minute for it to be filled, after which we all went into the bathtub.

Rather than spreading out, everyone stuck close to me. Miyabi was to my left while Lizel-senpai was to my right, and Reina sat on my lap in front of me. O-oi, that swimsuit is as dangerous from the back as it is from the front.

This was really relaxing, the water felt really nice. It felt good to just soak in after all that happened in just one night. I would probably be almost falling asleep if not for the 3 beautiful girls clinging to me.

"Ehehe, Yuuto seems so relaxed. Say, senpai, is it time for his reward?"

"I was considering withholding that for that unnecessary fight, but Yuuto did show us something amazing today, even if he wasn't awake at the time. So I think he still deserves it."

"It was really amazing desu!"

My heart felt so heavy! I think I unintentionally corrupted Reina's pure soul!

The girls separated from me, they stayed somewhere I could see all of them at the same time. Did this have something to do with that reward? I had to admit I was excited, in more ways than one.

Though it's also true I never went down ever since I saw Lizel-senpai and the others in their erotic micro-bikini, so maybe me being excited now isn't actually much…

Lizel-senpai looked at Miyabi and Reina. They nodded to each other, then moved their hands to their backs.

Wait a second, could it be?!

Soon enough, my suspicions were confirmed. The swimsuit bras of Lizel-senpai, Miyabi and Reina came off. Miyabi threw hers away, while Lizel-senpai and Reina left theirs just outside the tub.

"I-I, I don't…"

"Fufufu, just this already makes it worth it."

"Yuuto can't even get his words out. But he's 'boing' down there."

"F-feel free to look at Reina as much as you want, Yuuto-san."

I know the bras were basically transparent, and I had even already directly touched Lizel-senpai's breasts before, but this is still completely different!

For the first time in my life, I was seeing a girl's naked breasts! And 3 of them at once to boot!

Maybe it doesn't sound too convincing with how erotic my life has been recently, but I really didn't expect this to happen.

They all went back to where they were previously. But now Miyabi and Lizel-senpai were pressing their breasts on my arms. And while I may not be touching her chest, just looking at Reina's breasts was enough to get me "boing" as Miyabi had said.

"Y-Yuuto-san's… touching Reina."

"I-I'm sorry. I'll try to-"

"N-no. Reina will just… move to a more comfortable position."

Reina kept trying to find a position that would be comfortable for her. But I don't think there will be any at the tip of my penis.

B-but it felt so good when she rubbed against it. Reina and the others still have the bottom on, right? What was this swimsuit made of? It felt like I was touching Reina directly.

"Yuuto, don't forget about us~"

"You can do as you please with our chests, Yuuto."

Miyabi and Lizel-senpai lewdly invited me. They grabbed my hands, but I was the one who touched them of my own volition.

What is this?! How can breasts feel so different? I feel like, with some time, I could identify the girls just from the feel of their chest.

Lizel-senpai's breast felt like a dough, while Miyabi's was like a water balloon. I think I already compared them like this before, but I feel it's important to say again.

"Mmh~ Yuuto~"

"Aaaan~ seriously, how are you so good at this?"

I felt their nipples harden in my hand, even that was different between them. Miyabi's was a light pink color while Lizel-senpai's was slightly darker. Also, Miyabi's areola was bigger, though that may just be because her breasts are bigger.

Now I got curious, I wondered how Reina's felt. Might as well give them a little try.

"Waah! Yuuto-san!"

Reina's breasts felt a little hard, probably because they were so small. Her nipples were definitely the smallest, but it was hard to tell how big they were in relation to her breasts.

"Waaa!"

"Mm!"

Satisfied, I went back to rubbing Lizel-senpai and Miyabi's breasts. Reina was still rubbing against me down there, so it would be unfair if I focused just on her.

"Yuuto,san…"

Reina had dropped down a bit, so she tried getting back up. But maybe her legs were weak, because she couldn't stabilize herself.

That meant her butt was going up and down, rubbing on my lower parts. Things would get bad soon at this rate.

"R-Reina, please stop, a-aah, f-for just a second."

"Reina can't, Yuuto-san. R-Reina's body is moving on its own!"

"Yu, Yuuto, maybe this is, mm, enough?"

"Y-yeah. Things are going to get 'gusho gusho' bad."

Ah, I see everyone was in a similar situation. Unfortunately, I was experiencing the same symptoms as Reina and my hands were moving by themselves.

The feeling of the mana I was getting from this Healing Lovers was amazing, but more than that, I was focusing on making the girls feel good. Rather than letting my body move on its own, I wanted to do this by myself.

After some more time, we all felt we were quite close. As if by a coincidence, we all reached climax at the same time.

"A-aaaa!"

"Yuut- aaammnnn!"

"Gyaa, mmm!"

"R-Reina is- aaa!"

It was so spectacularly in sync it almost seemed planned. A milky white liquid I won't specify now floated in the bath's water, some even got caught on Reina.

We all had to take a few seconds to take a breather. After we recovered, I made a suggestion no one could disagree with:

"We should switch the water."

And so we did. Luckily, the process didn't take long and it gave us some more time to rest.

We all went back in to relax a little more, but this time, the girls kept some distance. I don't think they were mad, it's more like we were all embarrassed. I was too, to be honest. We avoided looking directly at each other for the remainder of the bath.

Without speaking a word, we agreed to bury this little incident in our minds, at least for now. That said, the girls didn't put their tops back on, so I had plenty to look at. And they similarly glanced my way every now and again.

After about half an hour, we were all satisfied and called it an end to the night of the Unveiling.
