Xialdre watched the girls from a distance as he sat on the shore, wearing only shorts. The girls were having fun in their swimsuits, splashing and playing in the water.
"The beach, huh? Maybe I'll find this place interesting," Xialdre thought.
Emiko watched as Furina, Arisawa, and Natalia splashed water at Rain, Isayao, and Clementine. Suddenly, Asabe jumped behind her and groped her chest.
"They are large," Asabe complimented.
Arisawa noticed what Asabe was doing and charged at Emiko, groping her chest as well.
"Asabe, you are right. They are smooth, soft, and also big!" Arisawa commented.
"Aww," Emiko blushed, placing her palms on her cheeks.
"Eh, what's going on?" Furina questioned.
"If you ask me, I also don't know," Natalia replied.
"Rain, older sister, you're flat," Isayao teased.
"Huh!? You're flatter than me," Rain retorted.
"No, that's because I'm still a child. I still have a chance for my breasts to grow bigger," Isayao explained.
"Well, I hope they grow," Rain commented.
"Eh!? Why is no one affected by my teases?" Isayao blurted out.
"That's because you're slowly getting bad at it," Clementine explained.
"You think so?" Isayao asked.
"Yeah," Clementine responded confidently.
"I see. Then what if I do this!" Isayao pulled Clementine's bra and swam away with it.
"You piece of sh—" But before Clementine could finish, Rain also took her panties, leaving her naked in the ocean.
"Hehe," Rain giggled as she and Isayao ran away with Clementine's clothing.
"GIVE IT BACK!!" Clementine yelled, chasing after Rain and Isayao while trying her best to cover her body. Xialdre watched from a distance, confused by what was going on.
"I guess I should join them in the water," Xialdre thought as he started walking into the water. He sighed and stretched his body.
Emerging from the water, Xyrene transformed into her Kraken form and yelled, "I AM THE PERVERT EXTERMINATOR!!!"
She swung her tentacle towards Arisawa and Asabe, who were still groping Emiko's breast. Emiko turned into her ghost form and teleported out of the way as Asabe and Arisawa were flung into the air.
Rain and Isayao were caught by Xyrene's tentacles and dragged beneath the deep water, still holding Clementine's clothes.
As Xialdre reached Natalia and Furina, the two girls noticed him and their faces lit up, seeing him in the water with them.
Xialdre shifted his eyes to them and noticed their smiling faces. As Asabe and Arisawa finally made it back, Xyrene rose up, still in her beast form, and threw Rain and Isayao into the water, leaving them unconscious from drowning.
Xyrene then transformed into her human form, still wearing her magical bra and panties, just like Asabe.
"Clementine, catch!" Xyrene yelled, throwing Clementine's clothes back to her.
"That's what you get, perverts," Xyrene blurted out as Natalia took Rain and performed CPR, their lips meeting.
As Rain vomited out the water inside her, Furina performed CPR on Isayao, who also vomited out the water inside her.
"Ugh, that was hell!" Isayao commented.
"True," Rain blurted out.
"Girls!" Xialdre called out.
The girls noticed Xialdre in the water with them and immediately walked to him.
"What is it?" Natalia asked.
"Yeah, Master?" Asabe asked.
"I have a game for you girls," Xialdre inquired.
"Yes!" Isayao said.
"A game with Master? What is it?" Clementine exclaimed.
"What could this be?" Furina commented.
"Oh right, Furina, might you become my slave, please?" Xialdre questioned directly.
"Eh, well, I was hoping for this moment for you to finally decide to make me one," Furina replied.
"I see. Give me your hand," Xialdre said.
"Sure," Furina followed, grinning.
As Xialdre placed a slave contract on Furina's palm, Xyrene commented, "I'm excited for this game Master is talking about."
"*Fufu* I've never seen him actually play like this," Arisawa exclaimed.
As the slave contract was finished, Rain blurted out, "Can we play already?"
"Of course," Xialdre confirmed.
"So what is it!?" Isayao immediately questioned.
"Now now, Isayao, don't press Master," Emiko exclaimed.
"Don't worry, it's okay," Xialdre replied. "Now, let's get over the rules. Magic or anything is allowed in this game except for one thing."
"Huh, what is it?" Xyrene asked.
"Transforming. You and Asabe shouldn't transform because the others might not have a chance against you both," Xialdre explained.
"Why, are we going to fight?" Rain asked.
"Of course not, Rain. Master will only play games that are brilliantly fascinating, not some duel and stuff, right, Master?" Emiko asked.
"Probably. Anyways, no, you guys are not going to fight," Xialdre ensured.
"Then what's the game?" Natalia asked.
"I guess it's already starting," Xialdre exclaimed.
All the girls were confused as Xialdre began running off. They noticed he was holding all their bras and panties, leaving them all naked in the water except for Xialdre.
"If you girls manage to catch me, I'll give back all your bras and panties," Xialdre explained.
"EHHH," the girls yelled out.
"My, my, what a game," Emiko exclaimed.
"*Fufu* I didn't know Master Xialdre was a pervert," Arisawa commented.
All the girls charged at Xialdre, flustered, attempting to get their clothes back. Xyrene summoned tentacles surrounding Xialdre, but he teleported out as he noticed Asabe charging at him.
Xialdre grabbed her arm and maneuvered her attack, launching her into the water as Asabe fell back in with a splash.
Rain attempted to grab onto Xialdre with all her speed, but Xialdre dodged her attacks effortlessly. Natalia chanted a spell, "May the water wave rise high, strike the enemy, and drown him."
A massive wave surged out of the water, but Xialdre countered it with a fire blast, creating a hole to escape through. Arrows then shot out from the wave, but Xialdre dodged them and teleported out of the way. He grabbed Clementine, who had been invisible, and slammed her into the water before continuing his run.
"What!?" Natalia exclaimed.
Ghosts appeared and chased Xialdre, but he used gravity magic to make them fall into the water. Isayao leaped into the sky, shooting arrows filled with sleeping magic, but Xialdre dodged each one and teleported behind her.
"Eh, oni—" Before she could finish, Xialdre wrapped his hands around her, making her flustered as they both fell into the water.
Xialdre emerged from the water as a wave transformed into ice and then snow, creating an avalanche cast by Furina. With a flick of his finger, Xialdre swapped places with her, leaving Furina covered by her own attack. Clementine and Asabe charged at Xialdre.
"Master!" Clementine yelled.
"I think you shouldn't yell when attacking someone, especially when they outpower you," Xialdre remarked, blocking Clementine's kick with his hand.
Asabe teleported behind Xialdre, using Clementine as a distraction. She aimed a kick at the back of his head, but a large amount of water surged from the surface, hitting Asabe and throwing her several meters into the sky. Xialdre remained unfazed, holding onto Clementine's leg and slamming her back into the water.
"Master, you said everything was okay, right any sort of magic or pawer?" Arisawa questioned.
As Arisawa attempted to transform into her seraphim form, Xialdre reminded her, "No transformations allowed."
Arisawa stopped as Xialdre realized he was tangled in tentacles. Arisawa had distracted him so Xyrene could catch him off guard. Xyrene laughed, but Xialdre broke free with sheer strength. He grabbed Arisawa and Xyrene, forcing them to kiss by slamming their faces together.
Xialdre flew into the sky as all the girls, naked and charging at him with all their might, leaped at him. He held onto their clothing as they tried to retrieve them.
As night fell, Xialdre sat beside the campfire, looking at the exhausted girls who had been unable to catch him. Though he had given back their clothing, their exhaustion was evident.
"Did I go too rough on them?" Xialdre mused to himself.
"Master, you have no mercy," Natalia exclaimed.
"Did you girls not enjoy the game?" Xialdre asked.
"No, no, no... Of course, we enjoyed it," Asabe responded immediately, along with the rest of the girls.
"I see."
"Does this mean Master is stronger than all of us, even when we gang up on him?" Clementine asked.
"I guess so," Rain commented.
"That game was very embarrassing... but still fun," Furina replied.
Xialdre stood up and walked back to the tent to change his clothes. He put on his yellow and black uniform, fixed his black necktie along with his white scarf his mother has gifted him, and wore his black slacks and shoes. As he headed outside, the girls also entered the tents to change, still exhausted.
Xialdre sat back by the fire, gazing at the ocean beside their campsite. The girls emerged from the tents, wearing cute clothes prepared just for Xialdre.
"Hm?" Xialdre exclaimed.
"Do we look good, Master Xialdre?" Furina asked blushing.
"Master, we did our best to look good in these hoodies and long-sleeved shirts just for you," Asabe explained.
"Big brother, what do you think?" Isayao asked.
"You all look great, beautiful, and cute," Xialdre responded.
The girls blushed as Xialdre shifted his gaze back to the ocean. They joined him, sitting beside him, as Furina turned off the fire.
"Master and girls... isn't it beautiful?" Clementine commented.
They all looked at the staggering ocean, illuminated by the stars, glowing like crystals. The atmosphere was peaceful, with the sound of ocean waves sparking through their ears. The seven moons shone down on them as they continued to watch the magical scenery.
Natalia pressed her body against Xialdre, and all the girls followed, hugging him as they said in unison, "Master, we love you."
Xialdre looked down at them, seeing their smiling faces. Yet, despite all the love they were expressing, he felt nothing. His heart remained cold.
"Tomorrow is another day, another day of adventuring," Xialdre announced.
He gazed up at the sky, his thoughts clouded with darkness. "These girls have been expressing their love for me all this time... yet I feel nothing. I'm coldhearted and sociopathic. I see them as mere tools, despite knowing they view me as the opposite."
"They see me as someone very important in their lives, the core of their very being and existence. I'm their master, and they will follow my orders without remorse."
"Yet I cannot return the sacrifices they make for me. I'm an evil person, a villain."
"An evil mastermind who collects them like tools with strings, viewing them as mere collectibles."
"That's me... I'm that evil mastermind. And at the same time, I'm the all-knowing mastermind."
"I desire loyalty, someone who will stick by me to the end without manipulation, but..."
"At the same time, I couldn't care less. Why feel anything for them? They are just mortals, right?"
"That's what I said to myself"
"And the worst part is... I feel no guilt about it, even now." Xialdre added
