The first month of Erich's vacation to the Great Oni Empire was almost like he had stepped into heaven. He was being doted on by two beautiful Oni women, who were more than happy to take care of his every desire. With each passing day, he grew closer to Ayumi, who was much more innocent and naïve than her great aunt.

Just so that she could compete with her aunt for the affections of the man she loved. Erich did not know what he had done to earn the love of such a kind and supportive girl. But for the first time since S'aleth died, he had begun to experience that emotion, which humans called love.
