It didn’t take long to assess the emergency.

The bell from the gate of the Aurora Kingdom Capital rang loudly and signaled an emergency for the common people who had to immediately evacuate from the sin-eating slime attack.

I counted the tentacles that emerged from the body of the sin-eating slime, when it had exceeded ten counts, I immediately stopped counting because the sin-eating slime’s tentacles immediately branched out without stopping.

The lump of the fat slime’s body swelled and destroyed the thick wall that contained active high-level defense magic and exploded because it was unable to withstand the attack produced by the increasingly large body of the sin-eating slime.

Alice, Alyssa, and Hana stared at the sin-eating slime with trembling bodies.

The bravery they showed had disappeared but I could see their determination as they tried to stand tall beside me as if they didn’t want to run away from this battlefield.

"Onee-sama, can we defeat a monster like that?" Alice asked, filled with doubt after seeing the size of the sin-eating slime.

"I don’t know, Alice. But at least I have to try attacking it with the Purification Fireball," I answered while hitting the street floor using the tip of the magic staff.

"Onee-san… I wanted to ask about that earlier. Why is the artifact from the Aurora Goddess Shrine in your hand?" Hana asked, suddenly appearing from behind my body as if she wanted to hug me back from behind.

"This magic staff? I borrowed it from an adult woman in the outdoors of the Royal Palace. I don’t know her name but she is a kind adult woman for letting me borrow this."

"Ahhh… I see. That explains why the magic staff adjusts the size of new holder. Is Onee-san going to perform a sacred magic ritual to cast a purification spell that is often used by the Saintess to purify abnormal negative powers like that?" Hana’s words referred to the sin-eating slime, with our gazes understanding each other, it seemed that Hana had the same thoughts as me.

"Earlier I saw Onee-san channeling holy magic energy in the form of a Fireball. If it is combined with the holy magic that stops the monster’s movement, maybe Onee-san can kill it with one attack of Fireball magic wrapped in holy magic energy," Hana said while explaining her rough plan to me.

"That’s the plan, it’s just that…" I pondered for a moment and glanced at the magic staff in my hand emitting a small amount of holy magic resonance.

"I don’t know how much longer this magic staff will last to maintain the holy energy resonance left in it," I said while showing the remnants of holy magic energy resonance left in the magic staff belonging to the Aurora Goddess Shrine.

"I can’t deny that because the magic staff is rarely used and is only a display at the entrance of the Aurora Goddess Shrine. Like a sword that loses its sharpness when not used and maintained."

"Not really, I can feel that this magic staff is well maintained by that adult woman. It’s just that she didn’t notice that holy energy is needed to keep it as a charming magic staff," I said while stroking the magic staff and noticing every trace of holy energy left inside it.

"If I drain this holy energy, will I get in trouble from the Aurora Goddess Shrine?" I asked to gauge whether I was in trouble or not.

"I-I don’t know… but I’ll take responsibility for it!" Hana exclaimed as she closed her eyes and gripped her magic staff tightly in readiness.

[ Good luck, Lily-chan! ]

While I was busy talking with Hana, my Goddess suddenly gave me a blessing.

It’s been a long time since I saw the blessing of a challenge like this with a difficulty level that was a bit troublesome for me.

Is it okay to kiss a fake Saintess like that?

[ It’s okay, no one would mind because the little girl has holy energy power that is still below the standard of a Real Saintess. Kissing her lips is not a big deal because the little girl is not tied to any Goddess. ]

[ Lily-chan, when an item doesn’t belong to anyone. That’s a great opportunity to seize and become yours full property! ]

Before I responded to Hana’s words who still had her eyes closed, the Goddess’s words made my head feel dizzy because of the complexity of her words that I didn’t understand.

I don’t know what the relationship is between kissing Hana, Alice, and Alyssa’s lips in the challenge given by the Goddess to the ownership of items that are not owned by anyone.

"Hana, can you hold back that monster for a while?" I asked while touching her nose and making her eyes open and blink.

"Hold back that monster? I can’t possibly do it, Onee-san! My magical energy capacity isn’t that big!" shouted Hana who wanted to refuse my request to hold back the sin-eating slime’s attack.

"Alice... Alyssa... can you hold it back?" I asked my twin step-sisters.

Alice and Alyssa looked at each other. It seemed they had the same answer to my question.

"If it’s to restrain them, I still have some magic energy left after casting the forced teleportation spell earlier," Alice said with a languid expression.

"Lily-nee… I may not be as good as Mama in restraint magic, but I still have enough magic energy to help Lily-nee…" Alyssa said with an excited look in her eyes.

"Good answer, Alyssa. Of course, you won’t restrain them alone. Zoe… lead the spirit line to perform a restraint attack so that I have time to cast my Purification Fireball spell!" I ordered Zoe who had been staying silent behind my back hair.

"I understand, my Master. Your order is an obligation that I must carry out as a spirit who obeys your orders," Zoe who had been in her butterfly form changed into my human form.

"Oh! Before I restrain that disgusting creature, may I at least do that?" said Zoe who looked gently at my face.

"Do that?" I didn’t understand Zoe’s meaning at all and tilted my head indicating that I didn’t understand what she said.

"My Master... aren’t you a little too much when you tease other girls but don’t realize that I’m sulking because I’ve never gotten that before."

I didn’t understand what Zoe was saying at all.

Zoe approached me and stroked my face which was covered in sweat.

"Ahh... my Master’s sweaty face is so tempting and makes me confused whether to kiss or lick her sweat..." said Zoe while stroking my cheek with her soft hand.

This felt strange because it was like seeing my reflection in the mirror stroking my cheek.

"Zoe? What are you trying to do?"

Zoe ignored my words and sent her small tongue that had stuck out to lick the sweat flowing down my cheek.

Lick...

Slurrpp...

"Zoe... that’s a little ticklish," I said while holding Zoe’s body which was trying to push me to fall to the ground.

"My Master, can I be a little greedy about this?" said Zoe in a whisper between the licks of her tongue.

Chuu...

With the sudden soft touch, I could feel Zoe’s tongue moving from my cheek to my lips.

Her small tongue stuck to my lips and wet them before burying her tiny lips towards mine.

Chhuu...

Suuuppp...

Zoe forced her lips to continue locking mine so that I would not escape from her little kiss.

My breath felt a little heavy because I hadn’t had a chance to take a deep breath before.

"Hey, Zoe, this is not the time for this," I said to calm Zoe who was tightening her little kiss.

"This is the right time to show my love and loyalty to my Master..." replied Zoe who quickly kissed my lips again.

When our lips touched, I could feel some magical energy flowing inside my body leaking out and forming butterfly wings similar to those Zoe had.

"For a while, we will be tied like this, my beloved Master…" Zoe said as she released her little kiss from my lips.

I could see Zoe touching her lips while holding back the blush that made her look like she was blushing.

"I didn’t expect my Master’s kiss to feel this soft and filled with love," Zoe murmured which was heard in my ears.

Ctakkk…

My ears suddenly heard a breaking sound that happened next to me and it made me reflexively turn around to see the source of the sound.

Alice, Alyssa, and Hana lined up behind my body with their faces covered by black shadows.

"Zeta, do you have the same courage to kiss Onee-sama like that?" Alice asked her butterfly spirit.

"Zara, you won’t do something that will break my heart like that, right?" Alyssa asked her butterfly spirit just like Alice did.

"Vasilica, do you have the courage to kiss your own Master like that?" Hana said while strangling her heavenly holy dragon spirit.

During a situation full of emergency conflict like this, it seemed that their minds were suppressed by fear. So I immediately approached them and kissed their cheeks fairly.

Chuu...

Chuu...

Chuu...

"If you do your best, maybe I’ll kiss your lips just like Zoe did," I said to cheer them up in an emergency like this.

The kiss on the cheek that I gave seemed to encourage them with a smile and a shout, "Let’s kill that monster!"
