That's right...
Having been possessed by the demon sword,
he cut down all of his bandit comrades on the ship.
The man licked the blood from the sword and said this to the policemen who came rushing toward him:
Blood! Give me more blood, you scum!
What are you talking about?
Ah, Mikan!
Zastin is telling us about a cursed sword!
A cursed sword...?
Oh, I'm talking about a frightful sword that turns its possessor into a dreadful killer.
Wow, that's so over the top.
Is that a true story?
Well, when I was in the great war, I fought on many planets,
but I never saw the real thing.
I guess it's what you would call an urban legend.
Actually, I was thinking about pitching a series on that subject.
Is he a swordsman or a manga writer?
A curse, so childish huh?
Yeah.
I wondered who it was trembling behind Rito-san the whole time.
I-I wasn't trembling!
Hey, hey! Don't fight!

~Peril~」
Welcome, Yuuki Mika-
Wait, why is Yuuki Rito here?!
I thought I told you to call his responsible little sister!
I'm sorry, Saki-sama.
It seems Mikan was busy and unable to come,
so she sent him in her place.
I guess I don't have any choice.
It's my fault that it turned out like this in the first place.
Have you heard the circumstances from Mikan?
Uh, yes.
Last night Tenjouin-senpai cooked for the house servants to thank them,
and they all ended up unable to move from stomach pain.
That's right.
It was so sudden, and it's difficult for only Aya and myself to fill in for all the people we're missing.
Please do your best for today.
We'll pay you for your work.
Okay.
But will it be okay with only me...?
There's no need to worry, Rito-san!
We're helping out as well!
Momo! Everyone!
Why are you here?!
It seemed difficult for you to do it alone, so I brought everyone!
And also...
Tenjouin-san is always taking care of Onee-sama, so I thought it would be nice if I could lend a hand.
Oh! For Lala's little sister, you're very thoughtful!
Wow!
You look so mature in those clothes Senpai, it's wonderful!
I'm borrowing this from here, but what about all of you?
Momo prepared them.
She said the maid outfits here were too plain and had no sex appea-?!
Oh my, what are you saying?
Stop... my... m-my tail!
I just did it so that Tenjouin-san wouldn't have to be concerned about it.
Don't-!
I have a bad feeling!
Eh?
Hey! Get away from Saki-sama!
My body belongs to Zastin-sama!
I'm sorry!
It wasn't Rito-san's fault!
We really shouldn't have brought Yuuki Rito here, after all.
Good grief...
Why do I have to do something like this?
It's fine, isn't it?
Being a real maid isn't something you can experience often.
Right, Yami-oneechan?
That's right.
I can earn money for taiyaki, too.
But isn't cleaning a huge mansion like this a pain?
That's true.
Eh?
Amazing!
As expected of trans!
It's more efficient this way.
Why don't you do it as well, Mea?
Eh?
Oh! Do it, do it!
Hmm...
It looks fun, but I'll pass.
Why?
If I use trans and they find out my identity, it would be bad.
Are you still keeping it a secret that you're Yami's little sister?
Yeah.
I promised Master I'd live like an Earthling.
You don't have to worry about that anymore, do you?
That may be so.
It's not like Master is strictly stopping me, but...
Hm?
What I'm worried about is if my identity is revealed to everyone,
will I be able to continue going to school like I have until now?
Using trans really makes you hungry, doesn't it?
I think I'll clean normally as well, after all.
This room is done, so why don't we go somewhere else?
Yeah!
Here you go, have some tea.
Thank you, Momo.
By the way, this painting... is that Zastin-san?
Yes! I painted it.
It's a painting overflowing with my love for him.
It's wonderful, isn't it?
Ah, yeah...
Ah, Zastin-sama!
My heart is yours for eternity!
As expected of Saki-sama!
I'll stay with you my whole life!
It may be a little difficult to add these people to Rito-san's harem...
In which case, the one I should be concerned with is Kujou Rin-san.
The way she stays inseparably close to Tenjouin-san at all times, that faithfulness.
If I could get her to direct that to Rito-san...
Rito-sama, I will guard you while you sleep.
You never know when someone insolent will try to target you.
Candy!
R-Rito-sama!
It's candy!
Ah!
Delicious-looking candy!
I can't-
Candy!
Oh, there's candy here, too!
Candy! Candy!
Master!
That's right!
It's the forbidden relationship that crosses the master-servant boundaries!
Oh. No, no!
I can't decide on that until I know Rin-san has at least some feelings for Rito-san.
That looks like some really big luggage.
It's something that just arrived for Saki-sama's father's collection.
If it needs to be taken somewhere, how about I do it?
No. I can't leave it to you.
I'll do it later.
That's what I thought.
You're just too dangerous.
As Saki-sama's guard, I can't let you come close to her anymore.
Yes.
Hm?
What is it?
Ah, it's nothing.
I was just thinking it's unusual to see you dressed like that, Kujou-senpai.
That girl Momo forced me to wear it.
I don't really understand her, just as Mikan said.
Go on.
There's no way clothes like this would suit me.
That's not true!
I think they suit you very well!
Because you're very pretty, Senpai.
Don't say strange things!
Ah! No, no! I didn't mean it in a strange way!
As expected of Rito-san!
It's frightening how he can say things like that so naturally.
Good grief...
Ah, I'll pick it up!
As if I'll let you!
You damn brute!
He finally got some points with her, too...!
Good grief, why are you like that?
I-I'm sorry.
That's enough here.
Why don't you go organise the study or something?
Yes.
I have to clean this up.
Hm?
Ah...
That's too much work, I'm tired!
But it's more or less finished, right?
So, where's Yami?
She said she was going to the study since we had a break.
As usual, she really loves books.
Mea.
Master!
What are you looking at?
Over there, Master is...
Eh?!
Huh...?
W-Where?
There's nothing there.
Master is so shy.
Seconds!
Mikan, your cooking is the best after all!
Good grief...
My hands are already full taking care of the house and Rito.
I know.
I'm so happy to have a responsible daughter!
By the way, what's with those clothes?
Oh, this?
I got it from Momo-san!
At first I wasn't interested, but when I tried it on, it felt like a combat uniform!
I get my housework finished up in a flash!
Oh!
So it's a form making the function thing?
I understand that.
When I wear this "big catch" headband,
my mood becomes intense and I make lots of progress with my work.
I'm not sure I like it being compared with that...
Commander Zastin.
What is it?
We have received information on a dangerous individual on Earth.
I wonder if Rito is doing well?
I made Kujou-senpai angry again.
It's okay.
She should know that you don't have any bad intentions.
But, still...
So what do you think of Rin-san, Rito-san?
Eh?
If you want me to, I'll work to direct her feelings toward you.
How did it come to that?!
Kujou-senpai!
Give me blood...
Senpai! I understand why you're angry, but that's too dangerous!
Rito-san!
Momo!
I was almost turned into a washboard!
Give me... blood.
K-Kujou-senpai, your panties are... No, I mean...
Yami-san!
Looks like you're having a fight.
What kind of perverted thing did you do to make her angry?
Eh?!
No, this is...
It seems kind of noisy in the mansion.
I wonder what's going on?
Y-You guys...
You! What did you do to make her angry?!
Have you realised it, Mea?
This bloodlust.
Rather than Kujou Rin herself,
it's emanating more strongly from that sword.
That red blade.
That is most likely the demon sword, Bladix.
If I remember correctly, that was...
The cursed sword!
So it was true, then?
Yes.
However, Bladix is not a cursed sword.
It's a parasitic metallic life-form.
I believe it was an experimental weapon created in another galaxy around 2,000 years ago.
It's a demon sword that uses blood as an energy source and makes any human that it takes possession of fight until they die.
It's another dangerous product of the great galactic war.
This is something an Earthling won't be able to dodge!
Rito-san!
He's dodging it by a hair's breadth?!
What do we do?
Since the opponent is Senpai, we can't counter-attack!
Ah... Ah!
Stay away, you idiots!
Wa-
Nana-chan!
Are you all right, Nana!?
Ah... y-yeah...
Ah...
Don't say I'm flat-chested!
I didn't!
What's going on?!
Father's study is a mess!
Rin? Where is Rin?
I don't see Yuuki Rito or the others, either!
What's going on?
This is...
I had a bad feeling, so I came, but...
Zastin-sama!
My! Why are you here?
Eh?
Tenjouin Saki-dono, right?
I'm sorry to come in without permission.
Even if I attack at this level, I can't knock the sword away.
In that case, the only way to free her from the sword's control is...
...to destroy it!
You shouldn't do that, Onee-chan.
The way that sword is controlling Kujou-senpai is probably something close to my way of doing it.
Psycho Dive's ultimate ability, Body Jack.
The power to steal the target's ability to control their body.
Kujou-senpai is synchronised with the sword, so if you destroy it, her heart will be destroyed as well.
W-What would happen?
Her broken heart would never heal.
Kujou-senpai would never regain her consciousness.
That can't be...!
Then what do we do?
Mea!
Oh, you surprised me!
That serious expression!
Could it be you're going to lick me?!
That's not it!
I have something to ask of you.
Use your ability to connect my heart with Kujou-senpai's.
I'm going to separate that sword from Senpai!
Are you serious?
Bladix is controlling Kujou-senpai's consciousness right now.
If you're not careful enough, your heart will be torn to pieces.
Are you determined enough to take that risk?
Kujou-senpai saved Mikan once.
That's plenty of reason for me to risk my life for her.
Fine, then.
In that case, let me go too!
No.
Rito-senpai has to do it alone.
If you insist that much, then prove it to me.
It'll be okay, Momo.
I'll manage somehow with my spirit.
I have to do at least this much once in a while.
It's like my body doesn't belong to me.
What in the world...
...am I doing?
Mea!
Here I go!
This is inside of Kujou-senpai's heart?
It's really dark.
This sensation is...
Y-Yuuki Rito!
What are you doing?!
I-I'm sorry!
What is this place?
What's going on with me?
Damn it!
I'll get you loose!
Who the hell are you?
There's someone other than me that can access a living organism's consciousness?
That's the demon sword's true nature!
You're pissing me off!
Trying to take back this girl's consciousness that I finally got hold of!
Not to mention I was already irritated because I couldn't cut anything but cloth!
I'll take control of you as well now!
I'll make you regret it!
That a mere human like you laid a finger on my possession!
Your possession?!
Eh?!
Don't screw with me!
This is Kujou-senpai's heart!
It doesn't belong to you!
I know all about it!
That Kujou-senpai has people who she holds more dearly than anything else!
She must be thinking of those people inside her heart all the time!
That you would take control of her heart and treat it like your belonging...!
I won't let you do it!
I'm the daughter of Kujou Kai from the steward agency, Kujou Rin.
I will be serving you from now on, Saki-sama.
Make sure you protect me properly. Okay, Rin?
I've always protected her.
The relationship between the Tenjouin and Kujou families was nothing more than an excuse.
I always wanted to be the one to protect Saki-sama.
Because I am a person who protects.
And this boy is trying to protect me...?
That's it!
I'll send Rito in my place!
Yuuki Rito?
It's okay.
He may be like that,
but when you're really in trouble he's a reliable person.
W-Why, you...!
Well done, Senpai!
You did a great job.
Mea!
Oh?
It's pointless...
...to try to encroach into my heart.
What's with her?!
I'm being taken over instead...!
The sword ...
...It's separated!
Damn it!
I finally found a body with the right wavelength and it turned out like this!
I have to find another body!
It's bedtime for you.
Rito-san!
Rito, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Not you, I mean her!
There's nothing to worry about.
She's been freed from Bladix's control, so she'll wake up shortly.
Thanks to Senpai.
No. Mea, you...
Wait, what was with your hair colour just before...?
Hm?
It's hard to come out now.
It looks like it's been resolved without my appearance.
I'm glad that Momo-sama and the others are safe, but...
What bothers me is that red-haired girl.
Her abilities were just like Golden Darkness'.
Is she a friend of Nana-sama or Momo-sama?
An alien wanting to conceal their identity isn't unusual on this planet, after all.
Zastin-sama, wait for me!
You!
Why are you showing up now, you good for nothing?!
Wait!
Wait, Zastin-sama!
I'm so sorry!
