Zongman: Building a Demon Clan from Scratch

“Lin En, welcome to Kuoh Town.”

Rias struck a hostess-like pose and said with a smile, “We should sit down and chat, since you've come all this way.”

“Akeno, prepare some black tea for our guests.”

“Yes, Buchou.”

After sitting on the sofa, Kasumigaoka Utaha noticed a petite girl in the corner of the sofa.

Rias introduced her, “This is my servant, Toujou Koneko, currently in the middle school division.”

“Hello, senpai.”

Toujou Koneko greeted them in a monotone voice.

After Lin En sat down, he looked around, marveling at the luxury of the place, and then asked curiously, “Rias, do you only have two servants?”

Rias paused, then smoothed the hair near her ear and said with a smile, “Yes, because I want to take a boutique approach, so it's hard to find suitable servants.”

Lin En was thoughtful.

No Kiba Yuuto or that vampire?

Haven't met them yet? Or is it because of the multi-anime world, causing some butterfly effect?

“This person should be Lin En's servant.”

Rias sized up Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She had only sent the Evil Pieces yesterday, and today she had already received a servant.

They must have been very close before?

Rias guessed in her heart.

There's no sign of a Sacred Gear, and no traces of training.

She just looks like an ordinary person…

“Kasumigaoka Utaha.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha introduced herself generously, then her gaze inevitably fell on Rias's chest.

This master and servant…

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes were complex, then she looked at Toujou Koneko, and her mood improved.

Toujou Koneko: “?”

Cat senses tingling!

“I already know why you've come.”

After all, they had communicated by phone yesterday.

Considering that Lin En had not received any education from the Underworld's demon system since he was a child, Rias directly took out a very thick black book.

Well, it was about as thick as two bricks.

Lin En's eyelids twitched at the sight.

“This 'Three Hundred and Sixty Ways to Use Magic Power' is the common version of the Underworld, which records some common magic power usage skills.”

Rias said apologetically, “I'm sorry, I can only provide you with this kind of general skill for now. After all, advanced techniques are the secret of each demon family.”

Lin En nodded in understanding, “It's already enough.”

Just this book alone would probably take a long time to read.

Fortunately, he has a workhorse.

Lin En moved 'Three Hundred and Sixty Ways to Use Magic Power' in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha, with a smile on his face, “I'll leave it to you, Utaha-beast.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to complain, but since she was on someone else's territory, she could only swallow her complaints.

Then she stared at the black book in front of her, feeling distressed.

Fortunately, she doesn't need to understand or learn, she only needs to 'record'.

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lip.

Copy!

ps: Seeking data!!!

ps: Thank you for the rewards!! Thank you for the flowers!!

Chapter 8: Time to unleash skills, Rias

After getting what he wanted, Lin En didn't rush to leave. Instead, he inquired about the current situation in the Underworld from Rias.

For example,

The movements of the Old Maou Faction and so on.

Although Lin En didn't have any sense of belonging to the Gremory Family, nor did he intend to avenge the family.

But the existence of this surname would always bring him some trouble.

Just like the engagement with the Sitri Family, and…

The revenge of the Old Maou Faction!

He must prepare for a rainy day!

While recruiting servants and strengthening his strength, he must also pay attention to their news at all times, so as not to end up like his cheap family, who didn't receive any news before being exterminated.

In the end, it's still because of insufficient strength.

The speed of recruiting servants needs to be faster.

At least, he must first stack his strength to the Maou level.

“Since the Gremory extermination incident, the Underworld has strengthened its encirclement and suppression of the Old Maou Faction, and they haven't shown their faces for a while now.”

Rias shared the information of the Underworld, but her eyes looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was diligently writing.

That book…

Doesn't seem like a Sacred Gear.

It should be some kind of ability she has.

But…

Rias couldn't help but remind her, “You can take this book back with you. It's not any precious knowledge.”

Lin En took a sip of the black tea brewed by Himejima Akeno, then said, “It's okay, we'll have to copy it anyway when we get back.”

Just after copying for a short while, Lin En felt that he had gained a lot of small skills related to the use of magic power.

And he also found that his 'Book Demon' was significantly different from Kasumigaoka Utaha's 'Book Demon'.

For example, if Kasumigaoka Utaha wants to use the abilities she 'recorded', she can only do so through the Demon Book under normal circumstances.

But in his case, it seems that he can use it directly.

It's a bit like the demonized state of the 'Book Demon' becoming his permanent state.

It seems that the abilities awakened by his servants, when placed on him, will have some extra benefits?

Lin En, who was experiencing the skills, didn't notice Kasumigaoka Utaha's eye roll at all.

It's really easy to talk while standing… sitting.

It's almost two thousand pages, right…

Thinking of the bleak life of copying books in the future, the light in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes suddenly disappeared.

Why does it have to be a Book Demon!

Ah… such heavy resentment…

Rias looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha worriedly.

Really, is she okay?

Lin En also noticed Kasumigaoka Utaha's resentful appearance, couldn't help but smile, and then asked:

“Miss Rias, I wonder if there are any magic techniques for automatic writing in this book?”

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly looked up, looking at Rias with hopeful eyes.

“Yes, there is.”

Rias nodded, thought for a while, and said, “Around page 130?”

Swish—

The sound of flipping pages suddenly sounded.

Seeing this, Lin En took another sip of black tea, hiding his merit and fame.

He was indeed too kind-hearted, unable to bear to see his servants suffer!

“Found it!”

Kasumigaoka Utaha exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing this, Rias also smiled happily and said:

“This magic is quite simple. If you learn it now, perhaps I can give you some advice.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled at her, then said, “Thank you, but I shouldn't need to trouble Miss Rias.”

After thanking her, Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head again and began to write in the Demon Book.

Rias was slightly stunned, and also looked at Lin En with some doubt.

Wasn't she asking about this magic to make copying easier?

Why is she copying again?

Soon, she understood the reason.

“Done!”

Kasumigaoka Utaha put down her pen, stretched her body, and then released magic power, with some expectation in her eyes.

Buzz—

The Demon Book suddenly shone brightly!

The page recording 'Automatic Writing' suddenly raised a small white magic circle.

A white quill slowly materialized.

Success!

Kasumigaoka Utaha cheered in her heart.

It's real magic!

Although it's just an insignificant little magic, it's enough to make her excited.

“This is…”

Rias's eyes narrowed slightly.

It is indeed the magic of 'Automatic Writing'.

She learned it in the process of copying just now?

Or is it…

Is the real reason in the 'copying'?

And that strange book.

Rias thought a lot, her eyes flickering slightly, and praised:
