[Chapter:20][Rewards(1)]

"W-well…since my presence here is clearly not required, I will take my leave."

Looking at the ridiculous scene, Ajuka-kun cleared his throat as he got up.

"Right, you said you wanted books about magic?"

He stretched his hand and several tomes appeared on top of it.

"You can have this."

"Thank you, Ajuka-kun."

I saw his eyes twitch at how I addressed him, but he shook his head and teleported away.

As for why he would give me those books, I didn't bother asking such a foolish question. Not only was I clearly the cause of the world-wide phenomenon that had occurred, I technically 'tamed' the Ouroboros Dragon with my baking skills, so having a good relation with me was something anyone with half a brain cell would understand.

"Since Ajuka-chan went, I'll take my leave too! Let's go, So-tan!"

"W-wait! Don't drag me with yo-"

Sona-chan couldn't finish her sentence as she and Serafall-chan teleported away.

Then, a moment of silence befell the group, plus Akeno-chan, who was standing behind Rias-chan silently, and Koneko-chan who was feeding and being fed cookies by Ophis-chan, both their stoic faces making for a surprisingly cute picture.

"So…what now?" Mikoto-chan asked as she looked around cluelessly.

"Well…looks like I don't need to learn Touki after all."

I could see Koneko-chan flinch at Kuroneko's mention of Touki, but probably because it wasn't genuine Senjutsu and was only a technique, she didn't show much reaction.

Just then, a thought came to me, making me click my tongue in annoyance.

"You just missed a good chance, Rias-chan."

"Hm? What chance, Admin-san?"

I pointed at Koneko-chan, or at her cute hairpin to be precise.

"You could have showed it to Ajuka-kun. Well, since you became acquainted now, it should be easier."

"Ah, how could we have forgotten." Kaguya-chan exclaimed as she seemed to have recalled the data in that hairpin as well.

It honestly completely passed my mind, and looking at the surprised and regretful reactions of other girls, it seems they forgot about it too.

"???"

Meanwhile, Koneko-chan who had no idea what we were talking about tilted her head in confusion, before Ophis-chan pressed a cookie to her lips, making her decide to ignore it as she focused on the cookie.

"That…well, it seems I forgot about it too. No matter, I'm sure I'll have another chance in the future. Thank you for reminding me, Admin-san."

She looked at me gratefully before Tsunade-chan interrupted.

"So we don't have to go to Kyoto? To the Youkai faction?"

Ras-chan looked at Akeno-chan, who nodded.

"I didn't send the message yet. I was not able to find the time yesterday, and you took me out to play today so…"

"Well, that's a good thing, I suppose." Irene-chan said, "Plans don't always keep up with the changes after all."

"It's a pity, I wanted to see how 'that' would compare with Chakra."

Tsunade-chan didn't use the word 'Senjutsu', looks like she's being a little careful with her words this time. Good.

Just then…

*ding*

The girls looked at each other and we all took our smartphones out, which Akeno-chan looked at curiously.

((Mission complete. Rewards can be collected. Participants have 72 hours before they are returned to their worlds. Participants can also choose to return prematurely.))

((Good job, members / Admin. Keep it up!))

"Well, guess that answers that…", Mikoto-chan muttered, "I don't mind staying here for three more days."

"Me too." Tsunade-chan stretched her body sexily, "I haven't visited this place's casinos yet!"

The others agreed unanimously, and then looked at me.

"Where I sleep doesn't really matter."

They nodded at my words.

"As expected of Admin-san. Now, shall we collect our rewards later, or…?"

"Oh, oh, I'll do it first!"

Kuroneko raised her hand while Rias-chan looked at Akeno-chan and Koneko-chan. The next events would involve secrets about the Group after all.

"I don't think it matters.", Irene-chan waved her hand, "Based on what I've seen, they are quite trustworthy."

"I don't mind." Kaguya-chan nodded and the rest agreed as well.

Again, they looked at me. I guess they still respect my status as the admin huh? Although I don't really care about stuff like that, it's still nice? I guess?

"I don't mind either."

I shrugged in response, and Kuroneko smiled excitedly.

"Then, without any more wait…!"

She tapped her smartphone, and the girls flocked around her and looked at the screen. She also walked in my direction when she collected her rewards, so I didn't have to move from my seat.

How considerate, thank you Kuroneko.

I made space for her to sit beside me, and everyone, including Akeno-chan in whose eyes I could surprisingly see the blank reflection of the screen, looked at the smartphone.

Huh, looks like those that aren't a part of the Group can't even see the screen, and can only see the smartphone itself.

"Oh!"

"Well, looks like you have quite the good luck."

The girls' exclamations made me look at the screen.

The rewards of the mission consisted of 1,000 Points, the use of which none of us knew, and a [Group Gift Box]. And since this was a tutorial mission, the rewards doubled.

In other words, Kuroneko just got 2,000 Points as well as 2 mysterious gift boxes. And she seemed to have opened one of them.

And the rewards mentioned on the screen made me nod.

"Dark Devil Slayer Magic, from my world. Although I've never heard of a Dark Devil Slayer, as a Lost Magic it should be just as powerful as other Slayer magics."

Indeed, Devil Slayers are quite strong in Fairy Tail, only losing out to Dragon Slayers. And even that is probably because according to Fairy Tail's plot, Dragons are supposed to be the most powerful creatures only below Gods, stronger than Devils at least.

But then again, even a God Slayer lost to the Fire Dragon Slayer MC thanks to his plot armour.

"Let me try it…"

"Don't."

Irene-chan quickly held the hand which Kuroneko had stretched out.
