The next morning arrived without many troubles, I spent the whole night working on my projects and having small meetings with interested investors, and I didnʼt really need to sleep anyway, so I was still as fresh as a lettuce.

I might be getting too invested into this world, but after Iʼve decided to not leave it behind even once we get the ”Key” to advance towards the next Level, and after realizing thereʼs a big-time dilation, Iʼve been practically absorbed by this world.

My assimilation rate has increased by 10% in these last days, the more invested I get into the world, the more it increases… However, when I entered my divine realm, this assimilation somehow decreased, I was able to notice this, which felt completely new.

Somehow, that Chaos Realm drains ”assimilation” when you enter it… and it might be a way for me to help others remember who they were before getting here, such as Elfinaʼs group, for example, and even… Frank? The thing is, how am I going to get them inside? Theyʼre going to get scared, run away, and other things, and the Laws of this world might think that what Iʼm doing is out of character too, so I will get some weird punishment.

Though, now that I think about it, did it work for Ismena and Acelina? I think it didnʼt work… Maybe it only works with me? Iʼll have to test further how this entire thing works.

So I have to tread carefully and think how Iʼm going to handle these things… I also want to have a meeting with my wives and my kids inside my Divine Realm, I miss having a big feast with all my wives and babies, and my friends.

By now all those we rescued from Abyss should have been mostly healed, so I kind of want to check on Wagyu and Kekensha as well as the Undead Team and so on… honestly, there is just way too many people I want to talk to.

Well, I think I can arrange a big feast with my whole family once Iʼm done with this incoming mission, Iʼll just invite everyone, and weʼll talk and assess all our progress in this world so far. After all, thereʼs more than just my wives infiltrated into this world.

”Oh well, one step at a time for now…”

I quickly walked to my large bathroom, where I took a slow warm bath to feel more refreshed, and once I was done, I saw Ismena and Acelina knocking at the door, bringing me breakfast after opening the door once they knocked.

Yeah they donʼt even wait for me to answer because they always expect me to be sleeping until late like always…

”Good morning young lady! Looks like you woke up early today, good!” Ismena said.

”I guess youʼre eager for today, right?” Acelina asked.

As the two served me breakfast and I ate it while talking with them, I heard footsteps coming, several of them. The girls finished cleaning my room, and as I was finishing my breakfast on my small table, I looked at the door.

I could feel my fatherʼs presence, but what were these other presences? They were certainly not anything Iʼve ever felt before, and they werenʼt… weak either, they were strong.

Knock, knock!

”Kireina, I have come with your new team. Please open the door.”

My fatherʼs voice reverberated.

”Open the door, girls.”

Ismena and Acelina nodded, opening the door for me, as I sat over my black couch while crossing my leg over the other, already wearing my dress and looking at my father stepping inside.

”Good morning, dear, Iʼve brought you the team I have handpicked to show you the ropes of our organization,” he said. ”And the ones that will be surveying you and your progress as a member of the Chaos Gate. Please come in.”

Three figures walked inside, each one of different size and appearance, but they all looked human, although with distinct eye and hair colors, and mostly calm, if not expressionless faces.

”Itʼs an honor to meet you, young Lady Kireina. I have heard many things about you.”

The first to speak was the tallest and oldest of the three, a slender, tall young-looking man that looked no older than his late twenties.

He had long white hair tied into a long ponytail, a handsome face with sharp snake-like eyes and a ”gentle” yet forced smile.

He was wearing circular yellow glasses, and a full gray suit with a white shirt beneath and a red tie.

”My name is Sakamoto Heisuke; you may call me Heisuke if you so desire. I rank twelfth in the Hitmen Rankings of Chaos Gate, and Iʼve been working for your father and the organization for thirty years so far.”

Oh, he was quite older than he looked like! So his hair color does indeed show his age, heʼs probably way past his sixties then, or something.

Heisuke then glared at the other two, as they stepped forward, the second to introduce themselves spoke.

”Hello young lady, I am… not really good with self-introductions, but before I make this awkward, Iʼm honored to work for you, thatʼs it.”

His personality sure felt laid back, he looked to be a young man on his late teens, perhaps around eighteen or nineteen years old, at most twenty. He had messy black hair and blue eyes, pale white skin like Heisuke, and wore a full black suit with a red tie instead.

”You should at least say your name…”

”A-Ah, right… Uh, nameʼs Nagumo Uzuki… just call me Uzuki,” he said nonchalantly.

Heisuke didnʼt seem to like how Uzuki acted, glaring at him with a slight distaste in his face.

And then, the third of the trio, who seemed a little younger than Uzuki, a cheerful-looking young man with short light blue hair and golden eyes, wearing cross-shaped black earrings and a lot of black piercings and rings.

”Hello, itʼs an honor young lady, youʼre as beautiful as Iʼve been told. Master, your daughter is truly a wonderful treasure of this family… Ah right! Iʼm ranked 18th, just call me Takamura, ojou-sama.”

He had a slightly laid-back personality but also seemed more assertive and flirtier than Uzuki, who just looked lazy in comparison.

It was a group of three men, I guess thereʼs quite the sausage party, but I suppose these are the men that father saw as trustworthy.

And well, it wouldnʼt be able to do the whole ”young lady of a criminal organization protected by powerful and intimidating hitmen” if they were all just cute girls.

”I see, it seems youʼve chosen quite the trio, father,” I said with a smile. ”Nice to meet you three! I hope we can get along; Iʼll be in your care from now on.”
