Chapter 22

"Is there anything you need? I imagine this must seem like a shock for you to suddenly change so much. If you need to take some time to get used to your new situation, I'd completely understand." I offer, only to get a firm shake of her head, momentarily distracting me with the way her black hair with gold tips catches the moonlight. She really is beautiful. "Are you sure? You can tell me if something is wrong."

"I'm sure, Master. I thank you for your kindness, but I am more than able to handle my new changes." She states firmly, not giving an inch as she stares at me with determination. "All I want is to help you achieve your goals to the best of my ability. Though…"

Hearing her pause mid-sentence, I worriedly ask, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Master. It's just that…" She pauses once again, her eyes stare into mine with a hint of nervousness before she asks, "Could you give me a name? While I don't mind continuing to be called your Servant, it would be nice to have a name of my own…" Her voice trails off as her head drops slightly, as if afraid that she was asking too much of me and had upset me.

Silly girl, as if I would be upset by such a simple request.

Bringing my hand up to cup her chin and raise her head, her eyes widen as they stare at me surprised. "If you would like a new name, then I'll happily give you one." I smile, the action and my words drawing a small blush on her pale cheeks. "From now on, your name will be…"

Fuck, I'm terrible with names. I really should have thought this through first, but since I'm already in it I might as well come up with something. Seeing as she's the first Servant I've been able to speak to, and she's the first one I've really made any sort of connection with, I ultimately go with an easy to remember name. "Ichi (One)."

"Ichi…" She repeats, testing the name out on her tongue before giving a pleased nod, her black lips spreading into a bright smile. "I love it. Thank you, Master."

"You're welcome, Ichi. Welcome to the family." And really, that's what I plan on making this, a family. One where I'm at the head, and one that will help me on the path to becoming the strongest there is, so that no one can harm us. '[Observe].'

Ichi (Guardian) - Level 22

It looks like her status has changed once again to reflect her new name. If all of this is what came from using [Promotion], I can't wait to see what happens when I have more Summons that can act as advisors and assistants.

As I turn to head into the house, she immediately draws my attention back to her as she speaks up.

"Master. Before you head inside, you should summon the other Spirits you've gained to add more eyes on Kuoh. With the Fallen now active, it won't be long before they try something. And we'll need all the eyes we can get to come up with a counter for them." Ichi says, taking to her new role as my assistant flawlessly as she reminds me of my new increase in summons.

Thanking her, I cast [Summon: Spirit] and watch as 20 gold circles light up the garden before 100 animal Spirits fill the clearing. The numbers are starting to get crazy now, and by the time the Summer Class maxes out, I'll be able to summon five times this amount in just Spirits alone.

Still trying to wrap my head around how many summons I'll have under my control, I quickly send them off to scour the town and keep an eye out for the Fallen and Devils, their golden bodies fading from sight as they sprint through the walls and off into the bamboo forest. Hopefully, they'll be able to provide me some information as to what each groups' plans are.

"Master, don't forget to use [Promotion] on one of your Spirits." Ichi adds.

…I must be really exhausted if I keep forgetting things like this. Giving her a thankful nod, and chuckling at the pleased look on her face, I call back one of the spirits. Waiting for the ethereal gold deer to fade back into sight. "[Promotion]."

Watching the gold magic circle do the same thing it did to Ichi, I'm almost disappointed to see that there isn't as big of a change to the Spirit as there was with her. The deer's antlers have grown larger, and its body seems to be less translucent as it had been before, appearing close to solid. '[Observe].'

Spirit (Guardian) - Level 0

The Spirit is still just as weak as it had been before, and besides a slight cosmetic appearance there isn't anything noticeably different about it. Deciding to figure out what's changed later, I send the Spirit off to rejoin the others in watching over Kuoh.

"I think that's it for me tonight, Ichi. I'm about ready to fall asleep, and I still haven't even taken a shower yet." I inform her, moving into the house as she follows behind me. Pausing as my hand rests against the door to my bedroom, I glance back at her over my shoulder, weighing the pros and cons in my head before deciding to risk it. "Will you join me again tonight?"

The beautiful smile she gives me is all the answer I need.

- Kuoh Academy -

Walking back to school the next morning, I'm actually able to keep most of my smile from showing.

[Sexual Intercourse] (Passive) - Lvl. 6 (Novice)

After having enjoyed another night of shower fun with Ichi, I woke up to my first ever blowjob by an enthusiastic -if inexperienced- woman who was obviously thrilled to take me into her now-freed mouth and shallow every spurt of cum that I gave her.
