Before long, Leticia completely adapted to life in Izumi's world.
Most days, she had very little to do.
When she had free time, she would chat with the maids, accompany Avrora in games, or explore the Dimensional City while collecting useful Gifts.
It was peaceful.
Comfortably peaceful.
Little by little, she became accustomed to this calm everyday life.
And then—
half a month after Izumi returned from the Little Garden—
Black Rabbit and the others finally arrived.
The instant they entered his world, Izumi noticed them.
A faint smile formed on his lips.
With a simple snap of his fingers, Leticia was instantly summoned to his side.
Leticia herself wasn't surprised at all.
This sort of thing happened constantly around him.
She had already gotten used to it.
Dressed neatly in a maid uniform, Leticia looked toward Izumi.
"Do you require something, Izumi-sama?"
Though her face remained calm and expressionless, there was unmistakable softness hidden in her eyes.
Izumi had treated her extremely well during her time here.
He had even helped her grow stronger.
Although being forcibly dragged into this world without permission had initially left her speechless—
she no longer resented it.
Izumi nodded lightly.
"Let's go."
"Black Rabbit and the others are here."
"I'll take you to meet them."
The moment she heard that, Leticia's crimson eyes lit up.
"Understood."
She answered immediately without hesitation.
After waiting more than half a month—
they had finally arrived.
...
At the same time—
inside the central plaza of the Dimensional City—
Black Rabbit stared blankly at the scenery around her.
Alongside her were Izayoi Sakamaki, Yō Kasukabe, Asuka Kudō, and the fox-eared girl Lily.
Every single one of them was stunned.
The city before them was simply too prosperous.
"Amazing…"
"It's so lively here…"
Lily looked around in shock.
Compared to the Little Garden, this place felt infinitely more advanced.
The moment they entered this world, information regarding its rules had naturally flowed into their minds.
It resembled the Little Garden in many ways—
yet it was also completely different.
Most importantly…
there were no Demon Lords here.
To Lily, it practically felt like paradise.
Their sudden arrival quickly drew attention from nearby pedestrians.
"Hm? So cute! Where did this little fox come from?"
"Oh? Isn't that one basically your relative?"
"Miss Rabbit, would you like another rabbit?"
"Princess, please stop saying strange things!!"
A familiar group from Gensokyo happened to be passing through nearby.
And naturally—
the moment they saw Black Rabbit, they became interested.
Especially one certain silver-haired NEET princess.
As someone from the Moon Rabbit lineage, she had always possessed a favorable impression of rabbits.
Now that she saw an entirely new kind of rabbit girl—
her curiosity immediately surfaced.
Meanwhile, Ran Yakumo also stared at Lily in surprise.
As a powerful fox youkai herself, she could sense the faint divinity lingering around Lily.
Clearly, Lily wasn't an ordinary beastfolk.
That naturally piqued Ran's interest.
Black Rabbit, however, instinctively felt something dangerous from this group.
If she got involved with them…
she felt like she would definitely lose something important.
Meanwhile, Izayoi and the others quietly observed the newcomers.
After spending time in the Little Garden, they had already encountered countless races and strange beings.
So they weren't overly shocked anymore.
Still—
the demonic aura surrounding this group was quite impressive.
And at that exact moment—
Izumi appeared.
The instant he arrived, Yukari Yakumo turned around and fled without hesitation.
Not even a greeting.
She simply ran.
If she stayed any longer, she would definitely get dragged away again.
Absolutely not.
She, Yukari Yakumo, would never surrender.
Seeing her master flee so decisively, Ran immediately panicked.
"Wait for me, Yukari-sama!"
Without even saying goodbye to Lily and the others, Ran hurriedly chased after her.
As for that fox girl—
there would be opportunities to talk later.
The Yakumo duo disappeared in an instant.
Leaving only the Moon Rabbit princess and her entourage standing there.
Watching the scene unfold, Kaguya Houraisan slowly grinned.
"How interesting."
"This is the first time I've seen Yukari show that kind of expression."
"As expected of you…"
"Mr. Stallion."
Hearing that title, Izumi glanced at her lazily.
"Do you believe I'll drag you home and make you have children?"
"Even Eirin Yagokoro won't be able to save you."
Kaguya immediately gasped dramatically.
She subconsciously took half a step backward.
Then she pointed at him in mock horror.
"As expected…"
"So I've become your target too?!"
"No good, no good! I need to stay far away from dangerous men like you!"
"Tei, Reisen, let's go!"
With that, she immediately dragged Tewi Inaba and Reisen Udongein Inaba away at top speed.
Izumi was far too dangerous.
If she stayed nearby much longer, she felt like she'd somehow end up pregnant.
That absolutely could not happen.
Watching this ridiculous exchange, Asuka and Yō silently took several steps away from Izumi as well.
Their expressions became extremely complicated.
In that instant—
Izumi's reputation completely collapsed.
Seeing this, Izumi himself could only sigh.
At this point, he had already been labeled a lolicon, a pervert, a degenerate, and every other possible title.
One more accusation changed nothing.
Still…
he mentally decided to "educate" that troublesome moon princess later tonight.
With that thought in mind, Izumi shifted his gaze toward Black Rabbit and the others.
"Welcome—"
Before he could finish speaking—
Black Rabbit suddenly cried out excitedly.
"Lady Leticia!!"
Completely ignoring Izumi, she rushed directly toward the blonde vampire standing behind him.
The moment she saw Leticia standing there safely in her maid uniform, Black Rabbit's eyes instantly filled with tears.
Meanwhile, watching himself get ignored so thoroughly—
the corner of Izumi's mouth twitched slightly.
Honestly…
being treated like this despite his status really hurt his pride a little.
