Come back to the base world, both Aika and Kaito were immediately greeted by chat group members who stayed on the base world. Obviously, everyone was curious about what happened with the task, especially when both Aika and Kaito did not access the chat group during their last few hours.

Because of that, they have no choice but to tell them what is truly happened back then, including Kaito's stupid plan and the announcement of their relationship.

...

"Congratulations Kaito-sama, now Aika-san has fallen in your hand." (Sakuya)

"Congratulations, master." (Akitsu)

"Congratulations Kaito, so Aika-san is going to be our sister from now on?" (Ravel)

"Indeed, Ravel-chan! Hope you treat me well~" (Aika)

...

Looking at the girls who were enthusiastic and congratulated for their relationship, Kaito couldn't help but feel a bit confused. He expected a harsh reaction from the girls, after all.

"Uh... Are you guys really okay with this?" Kaito asked while scratching his head in clear confusion, "I thought most of you were going to scold me for doing this."

"Why would we do that, Kaito-sama?" (Sakuya)

"I don't think it's a problem, Kaito." (Aika)

"Not a problem." (Akitsu)

"Do you think we are going to prevent you from adding more girls to your hand, master?" (Miya)

Hearing their comment, Kaito nodded and expressed honestly, "...I mean doing so would be disrespectful toward you all." 

Although he admits that he is already a scumbag to own a harem, Kaito also looked them as his own family and fears that they weren't happy about what he did. Naturally, the girls also understand Kaito's thoughts about them after living together for years and decide to clear the misunderstanding.

"Master, we are happy you are thinking about us but you are wrong about one thing." 

Hearing Miya's statement, Kaito turned to her and replied, "Wrong?

Miya shook her head and quickly explained, "There is no reason for us to prevent you from getting along with her because Aika-san has already been part of us since the beginning"

"Honestly, Owner. Aika's initiative to get close to you is kinda obvious in front of everyone." (Robin)

"Hence, no one really against it. We already expect this moment to come." (Kazehana)

"...Then, I guess it's all good."

Hearing everyone answer, Kaito could only wryly smile since it seemed Aika's approach was obvious to everyone from the beginning. Still, it is good news for him, since it means that his harem is living in harmony together and didn't make any of them disappointed with him.

*Sigh*

Unfortunately, while Kaito is concerned that Aika won't be accepted to his 'harem', he forgets to be concerned about what he planned in Aika's world.

...

"Anyway master, I am curious about your 'harem plan idea'. Mind you tell us how such a thing comes to your mind?" (Miya)

"I'm also curious about that, Kaito." (Ravel)

"Maybe the master need discipline and learn how to respect people's decision." (Sakuya)

...!!

Seeing the girls looking at him displeasedly, Kaito knew that this time he was indeed the one in the wrong for proposing such a plan, raising his hand while saying, "I'm sorry?"

Obviously, the girls won't let him escape and he was then severely punished by the girls on that night.

>>>>>

After getting punished for the whole night by the girls in the base world, Kaito woke up from sleep with pain all over his body.

"Ouch... The girls just become a devil, yet they have more skill using wings than me..."

Last night, Kaito tried to get away from the girls by flying away from them but since most of his girls already become a devil, they also could fly and chase him down. After getting caught by them, Kaito was punished brutally by them in the namesake of training. (the girls trying their best to attack him and he needs to block or avoid it).

As for teleporting away? of course, Aika saw it coming and wasted her point just to prevent it just to make him accept his fate.

...

"Uhh... Est."

Looking at the silver-haired loli drooling in his clothes, he quickly shakes her which immediately wakes her up.

"Kaito, good morning." Est greeted while rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning, let's have a breakfast?" Kaito suggested.

"No... let me sleep a little more." Est shook her head and lay down on the bed again.

"Then I will leave you first, sleepyhead." 

"Umm."

Seeing Est who didn't want to get up and still looked very tired, Kaito didn't force her and hurriedly left the bed. Anyway, last night Est as his 'sword' played an important role, and of course, it was natural that she was tired considering how intense training was last night.

>>>>>

"Ah, Kaito-kun. Good morning."

When he arrived in the dining room, Kaito found Kazehana alone currently drinking alone, holding a bottle of sake in her hand while no one else was in the room. However, the breakfast is already on the table, a complete Japanese dish alongside with variety choice of drinks available.

"Kazehana-san. Good morning too." Kaito greeted back and then continued to ask, "Where is everyone else?"

"Some are still asleep, while others are training with Miya and Sakuya," Kazehana said as she glanced to the outside.

Looking at the outside window, Kaito can see members who are on the green field and surprised, "Is that Ravel and Uta?"

"Yes. Both of them asked to be trained in order to get stronger since they are aware their strength is the weakest on our peerage." Kazehana smiled as she chugged in more sake, "It's a good thing for them."

Hearing her answer Kaito was also happy with her and commented, "That's good! I guess I will join them training after having a good breakfast."

Despite pain all over his body, Kaito still planned to train after this since he knew every available time was precious to him. For now, the time in high school DxD got frozen since he and Ravel stayed here. However, the moment he goes back, Kaito needs to fight against Sirzech-- thus he really needs to increase his strength as much as possible.

For now, Kaito's plan is to get better at using his teleportation and creation cheat ability. Especially, the latter has really huge potential if he manages to master it. He already felt the convenience of that ability back in the ZnT world, and convinced that this might be the ability he would rely on the most from now on.

"By the way, I didn't know how Itachi is doing?" 

Kaito sat down and poured himself a cup of milk casually, "And since Aika's business is done, I can start helping Itachi solve his situation from now on."

"That's a good news." 

Kazehana smiled and then offered her sake bottle, "Do you want a drink from me, Kaito?"

"Uh, no. I have a milk already here." Kaito who didn't want to get drunk early morning quickly refused and changed the topic, "How Itachi is doing?"

"My husband said nothing unusual except Akatsuki seems to become more suspicious of him and it's harder for him to get away from their observation."

Hearing her answer, Kaito can't help but be concerned with Itachi's situation. Although there should be only a few people who are able to threaten him (since he is very healthy now), getting noticed by Obito and Zetsu alone would make unpredictable variables in the plot itself.

"...How far the plot has progressed, by the way?" Kaito seriously asked.

"From my husband, on the day we were reincarnated into the peerage, he said that Akatsuki plan to extract the tailed beasts, Isobu and Matatabi on the next month after capturing them. Right now, they are sending Akatsuki members to capture both of them."

"Uh... It's sooner than I expected." 

Kaito held his chin while checking the memory in his mind, "According to the memory, Isobu and Matatabi extraction time is only less than 3 weeks away before Itachi and Sasuke confrontation."

"So we have less than 2 months here to prepare to help him." 

Even though Kaito said 2 months, he himself knew that they only had one month because they needed to come to that world early to see the situation and make a proper plan. Still, Kaito wasn't worried about time constraints because he was sure that with the help of the point system and chat group members, he would definitely be able to master his new abilities within a month.

"How do you plan to help my Ashikabi, Kaito-kun?"

"Of course, our main objective is to stop the conflict between Sasuke and Itachi, and then make them reconcile again." 

Kaito shrugged and then muttered, "The plan may change depending on how the situation develops, but the key is to convince Sasuke to not have a grudge against his brother anymore."

"Great idea. I also can't wait to meet my husband's brother." Kazehana put her sake down and then suggested, "As for how to convince my brother-in-law, How about I tell him that I promise to build the Uchiha clan back again with Itachi-san?"

"Uh..."

Hearing Kazehana's suggestion, Kaito twitched his mouth and felt sorry for Itachi. Hearing Kazehana's suggestion, Kaito twitched his mouth and couldn't help but feel sorry for Itachi. If Kazehana really meant what she said, it seemed like Itachi needed to work hard every night to rebuild his clan.
