"How does this place feel?"

Inside a detached house in Koma Village, Miss Moonlit brought Tosca in and asked her.

Since Tosca's previous place had been a little too small, Miss Moonlit had contacted an agent a few days ago to ask about secondhand homes in Koma Village.

Compared to spacious flats, Miss Moonlit preferred this kind of standalone house. Besides, they were actually cheaper than those large apartments.

Since the twenty-first century, housing prices in the Island Nation had been very low. Homes in Koma Village cost about as much as houses in a small town from her previous life.

After considering many options, Miss Moonlit ultimately chose this house.

The surroundings were lovely, with few neighboring homes and beautiful scenery. More importantly, the design suited her tastes perfectly. It was cozy and had plenty of rooms.

Although it was a secondhand home, the previous owner had spent most of the year in Ginza and rarely returned, so it looked no different from a new house.

"It's very nice..."

Looking at the house before her, Tosca also thought it was wonderful, but she still seemed a little unhappy.

This meant her master would no longer sleep with her.

"I think so too."

Miss Moonlit pushed open the exquisite wooden gate to the small courtyard. She had once watched a Japanese drama and remembered a particularly warm scene: a beautiful wife kneeling beside a flower bed, watering the plants.

Golden sunlight had poured down as the wife, glistening with beads of sweat, looked back and smiled. It had been utterly heart-fluttering.

Miss Moonlit glanced at Tosca again. Unfortunately, she looked like she had Western pores, so she did not have that sort of feeling... and she seemed too young as well. There was absolutely no way she could give off that feeling.

Come to think of it, there was someone who did seem quite similar!

That person was Rias's queen, Akeno Himejima.

If it were Akeno Himejima, whether she wore a kimono or shrine maiden attire, she would look absolutely perfect...

As long as she turned Rias into her servant, all of Rias's beautiful girl servants would become hers as well, the girl thought thoughtfully.

"Let's go buy some daily necessities, Tosca!"

After briefly showing Tosca around, Miss Moonlit made the suggestion. The new house had most of the important things, but they would need to buy necessities like firewood, rice, oil, and salt themselves.

"Sure!"

Naturally, Tosca had no objections.

What followed was a flurry of activity that lasted until nightfall.

After dinner, Tosca was still tidying up the house. With nothing to do, Miss Moonlit thought for a moment before taking out the games she had just bought.

There were so many games in the Island Nation, and many of them were ones she had heard of but never played. Now that she had the time, she naturally could not miss the chance.

But after playing for a while, she suddenly felt it was a little lacking alone. It would be nice if someone could play with her.

Tosca would not work. She had absolutely no talent for games.

"Should I call Koneko over and see?"

The girl took out a flyer—a demon flyer.

While shopping earlier, Miss Moonlit had happened to see Koneko handing out flyers and had picked one up along the way.

Demons needed to meet certain quotas. People said that making deals with demons never ended well, but the demons here... at least the demons in Koma Village, would not cause that sort of thing to happen.

What they wanted was actually insignificant to the person making the deal.

"Demon teleportation magic is so convenient!"

Looking at the teleportation magic on the flyer, she had to admit that the divine and demonic technologies of this world were quite advanced.

The Fallen Angels had Artificial Artifact technology, demons had Reincarnation Pieces, and there were all kinds of convenient spells.

Even the Underworld had trains...

Without thinking too much about it, Miss Moonlit directly began summoning a demon according to the instructions.

Before long, a magic circle flashed, and an adorable catgirl with demon wings spread behind her appeared before the girl.

"...It's you."

Having teleported into the room, the catgirl demon had been about to say something... but upon seeing the familiar girl before her, she immediately froze.

Although they had not interacted much, they had met before. Her club president was also having a headache over this girl, and Koneko had specifically looked into Miss Moonlit.

"Good evening, Koneko."

Looking at the stunned catgirl demon, the girl greeted her with a smile.

She kind of wanted to pet a cat.

"Good evening, Miss Moonlit."

After responding politely, Koneko frowned as she looked at Miss Moonlit, her face full of confusion.

"Why would Miss Moonlit..."

Looking at the flyer beside her, Koneko did not remember giving Miss Moonlit one. But after thinking about it, she set aside her doubts. That was not important right now.

Thinking of her president's troubles, Koneko had always been grateful to Rias and wanted to repay her. Perhaps she could help her president persuade the senior before her to join them.

"So, do you have a request, Senior?"

"It's simple. I heard Koneko is very good at games, so... Koneko, come play games with me?"

Miss Moonlit took out the games she had just bought. There were many games she had heard of, as well as many she had not, including but not limited to The Legend of Zelda, MapleStory, Pokémon...

"..."

Koneko had never expected that Miss Moonlit had summoned her just to play games with her, but somehow, it also seemed within expectations.

But why did Miss Moonlit, who had only been at the school for such a short time, know that she played games?

"Okay."

Naturally, Koneko did not refuse.

"What does Miss Moonlit want to play first?"

Looking at all the games Miss Moonlit had bought, there were so many...

But then Koneko suddenly saw something and was startled!

Her cheeks flushed. Why had Miss Moonlit bought this kind of game?!

"Does Koneko have any recommendations?"

"...How about this one?"

Quickly shifting her gaze away from those adult games, Koneko was no longer calm inside. She hurriedly changed the subject and picked a game she had been playing recently.

"Then we'll play this one."

Naturally, the girl had no objections. Playing games with a catgirl meant the game itself was no longer important.

She would be happy regardless.

Playing games together also made it easy to build a relationship. The two, who had barely interacted before, soon became friends.

It was not until deep into the night that Koneko put down the controller, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Miss Moonlit, it's getting late. I'll head back now!"

"It's three in the morning already! It's so late... Why not sleep here, Koneko? The bed is pretty big."

After checking the time, Miss Moonlit realized they had unknowingly played until three in the morning. It did not feel right to let Koneko go back alone so late, so she instinctively said this to her.

"???"

For some reason, Miss Moonlit's words sounded a little strange.

Still, Koneko shook her head. This was not the first time something like this had happened, and she was already used to it.

"No, it'll be quick. I'm not an ordinary human."

After saying that, she bade Miss Moonlit farewell once more before leaving the room.

Late the next morning, close to noon.

The weather was exceptionally clear today, and the sun outside was brilliantly bright. But for Miss Moonlit, who had habits similar to those of a vampire, this was hardly good weather.

At that moment, Miss Moonlit was still asleep, completely buried beneath her blanket. The blanket shut out all sunlight, making her very comfortable.

After Koneko had left last night, Miss Moonlit had continued playing alone until five in the morning. She still had not woken up.

If nothing important came up, Miss Moonlit could sleep through the entire day.

Especially when it was hot...

At that moment, the sound of a door opening rang out, and another white-haired girl entered.

Seeing her master completely covered by the blanket, she sighed softly.

It was already this late, yet her master still showed no intention of getting up. Was she going to stay in bed all day? That would not do!

She would become useless.

Not even a vampire could get away with that...

They had agreed to go to the garden together, yet Lady Moonlit had forgotten all about it because she was sleeping in.

"Lady Moonlit, wake up!"

Approaching the bed, Tosca gently called for Miss Moonlit to wake up, but it was obvious that it had no effect. Knowing that this would not wake her, Tosca made up her mind and directly pulled off the blanket!

"Mmm~ So... so bright!!"

Without the blanket shielding her, Miss Moonlit instinctively opened her eyes. Then, facing the blinding white light, she adorably curled into a ball.

"Lady Moonlit, it's time to get up... It's already so late."

Seeing that Miss Moonlit still did not want to rise, Tosca said helplessly.

"Mmm~ Humans are so annoying!"

The girl spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, then seemed to remember something and continued, "It's the weekend, and there's no school. Why should I get up so early..."

"But it's almost noon already. We clearly agreed to go together..."

"Almost noon... Is it already that late?"

Thinking of something, Miss Moonlit reluctantly sat up from the bed and stretched, revealing her snowy white, enticing little belly.

She picked up the phone beside her and checked it. It was already eleven o'clock.

"Exactly! The breakfast I prepared for Lady Moonlit has gone cold so many times. It definitely won't taste good anymore."

As she said this, Tosca felt a little upset. She had prepared breakfast for Miss Moonlit early in the morning, spending a long time carefully making it, and had waited for her to come out and eat.

Yet the dishes had cooled again and again, and Lady Moonlit still had not gotten up.

Only then had she finally been unable to hold back and entered the room to wake her master.

But even though she had woken her master, breakfast that had been reheated over and over would no longer taste good. Besides, it was nearly noon, so there was no need to eat breakfast anymore.

"How could that be? Tosca's breakfast isn't cold."

Noticing Tosca's disappointment, Miss Moonlit roughly guessed what had happened. She grabbed Tosca by the wrist and, amid Tosca's startled cry, pulled her onto the bed.

Then she wrapped her arms around the girl's body. Under Tosca's watery gaze, she pulled down her collar, revealing her fair, tender shoulder.

The vampire girl revealed her adorable yet sharp fangs and gently bit down.

Unlike how she had treated that Fallen Angel, she was not violent at all. The girl was extremely careful, gently and tenderly savoring the warm blood within Tosca's body.

Tosca herself felt no pain whatsoever. As Miss Moonlit fed, her eyes instead gradually became unfocused.

After an unknown amount of time, Miss Moonlit released Tosca. A brilliant smile appeared on her beautiful, exquisite face as she said seriously,

"Breakfast was delicious!"

"Lady Moonlit..."

At this moment, Tosca no longer felt even the slightest unhappiness. The several hours of waiting... and the carefully prepared breakfast no longer mattered.

"..."

"I'll help Lady Moonlit get dressed."
