Chapter 400 363 – Shuna and Shion

"My lord, what are you planning to do?"

The pink-haired Ogre cautiously questioned Takumi, confusion in her eyes. She did not understand why he had made all six of them stand in a row.

"Oh~ Now that you're on my side, I'm going to give each of you a name. Consider it a benefit."

Takumi's answer left the six Ogres flattered and overwhelmed.

They immediately looked unsure of what to do, and the pink-haired Ogre hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Please wait! Naming carries enormous risks, especially when naming members of a high-ranking race…"

Naming was extremely important and required the namer to expend a vast amount of magicules.

A single mistake could even cause the power to recoil, severely injuring or killing the namer.

Now that she had accepted Takumi as her lord, the pink-haired Ogre naturally did not want anything to happen to him.

Takumi merely waved a hand, signaling for them not to worry.

The purple-haired Ogre beside her looked as though she wanted to say something, but obediently closed her mouth.

Takumi did not bother inventing any names. He simply searched through his memories.

After all, if he tried naming them himself, the result was easy to imagine.

He had named the sword spirit Xiaoling. That alone proved he had absolutely no talent for naming.

"Then I'll name you according to your hair colors. Shuna, Shion, Benimaru, Souei, Hakurou, and Kurobe. Those will be your names."

As Takumi named them one by one, an immense amount of magicules surged out of Boosted Gear.

After glancing at the consumption, Takumi paid it little attention.

This amount was not even as much as he had spent naming Xiaoling.

The moment the six received their names, they all lost consciousness.

Their bodies were transformed by the enormous influx of magicules, while the bloodlines within them underwent a complete elevation!

Takumi also condensed two divine envoy chess pieces and fused them into Shuna and Shion.

As for the other four Ogres, he naturally had no intention of granting them the same benefit.

Giving those four names was already an enormous blessing.

Later, Takumi intended to use them as laborers and tools for expanding his territory, allowing them to repay his favor properly.

Standing beside him, Kagali watched Takumi name all six without appearing to lose even the slightest amount of magicules. The awe in her heart deepened further.

As expected of my master. He's incredible!

Had Kagali named six people at once, she would have needed to lie down and recover for quite some time.

Under Takumi and Kagali's watchful gazes, the six Ogres completed their evolution.

The blood-red tear-like markings on Shuna's face slowly faded.

Her pale pink hair curled gently and was tied into a single bundle behind her back.

Her two horns resembled white porcelain, her skin was as pale as snow, and her pink lips were more vibrant than cherry blossoms.

Her charming face became even more refined, inspiring affection in anyone who saw her.

The shapely body beneath her shrine maiden robes also became fuller and more enticing.

The prominent curves of her chest and the pert, rounded lines behind her seemed almost as though they had changed according to Takumi's preferences.

Shion's transformation beside her was even more obvious.

Her already tall, mature figure grew several inches taller.

Her formerly brown skin became fair and delicate, resembling smooth white jade and inviting one to reach out and touch it.

Her long, light-purple hair and obsidian-like single horn still displayed her Ogre heritage.

Her figure had already been voluptuous and fiery before, but now it had grown several sizes larger.

The buttons straining across her chest looked like Spider-Man trying to stop a train by gripping two threads of webbing, as though they might burst free at any moment.

The purple trousers wrapped around her long, fair legs had also become tight around her full, lifted curves.

Takumi felt genuinely distressed by the sight and quickly used alchemy to adjust the size of her clothes.

"Haaah…"

Still unconscious, Shion released a long breath, her expression visibly relaxing.

Before long, both women slowly awakened.

Having fused with divine envoy chess pieces, they woke much sooner than the other Ogres.

The moment Shuna opened her eyes and sensed the power surging through her body, her eyes filled with moisture as she looked toward Takumi in concern.

Despite her petite stature, her figure was full and alluring. She immediately threw herself against Takumi.

"My lord, are you all right?!"

She looked at him anxiously, afraid that he had harmed himself by expending too many magicules.

Her current strength was more than a hundred times greater than before!

Shuna could hardly imagine how many magicules Takumi must have consumed.

Beside her, Shion slowly opened her purple eyes and clenched her fists before staring directly at Takumi.

The wild aura surrounding her had faded considerably, and when she stood, her figure looked as perfect as a model's.

Shion stepped in front of Takumi and dropped to her knees without hesitation.

"Takumi-sama, I will never forget the immense favor you have shown me. I offer you this body and swear to serve as your servant!!"

At that moment, Takumi was her sun.

Even if he asked her to sacrifice her life, Shion would not hesitate.

"All right. You can become my second secretary."

Seeing how loyal Shion was, Takumi nodded in satisfaction.

Shuna's eyes widened when she saw Shion take the lead.

"Wait! I also want to become your servant, my lord!"

"Fine. Then you'll be my third secretary."

Kagali fell silent.

Why did her position as first secretary suddenly seem so cheap?

Noticing Kagali's resentful gaze, Takumi immediately coughed.

"Ahem. This is Kagali, my chief secretary. She's your senior now, so whenever you need help, you should learn from her."

At Takumi's introduction, Shuna and Shion both looked toward Kagali with curiosity, hostility, and respect.

Kagali immediately perked up again, deciding that being the first secretary was actually quite good.

She nodded with a deliberately profound air.

"Being a secretary isn't easy. You'll have to learn both how to earn promotions while sitting down and how to handle actual work from someone experienced."

Shuna and Shion exchanged a glance, then both lowered their heads.

Kagali was their senior for now, so they still needed to show her some respect.

But once they had finished learning, what happened afterward would depend on their abilities!

Unaware of what Shuna and Shion were thinking, Takumi ignored the other four Ogres, who were still unconscious and transforming.

Instead, he focused on examining Shuna and Shion's status panels.

[Name: Shuna]

[Class: Divine Envoy Kijin]

"Both of them have excellent talent. Shuna is better suited to support and logistics, while Shion is more suited to combat."

"The combination of divine envoy chess pieces and the naming mechanism provides an incredible degree of enhancement."

"They're now only a single step away from reaching Devil King class."

Takumi was very satisfied with both their strength and potential.

At the very least, he had not taken them in merely as decorative beauties.
