Three hours later, Ayano left the villa, brimming with energy, and decided to head to the garden as usual.
His frequent visits might seem odd, but beneath it lay a formation that attracted mana. Training there yielded far greater results than anywhere else and allowed him to quickly recover his energy.
However, the formation wasn't particularly powerful and was only suitable for those below Level 2. Even Level 1 players didn't benefit much and rarely frequented it.
Other areas with similar or even better formations existed, but most were limited in access, requiring either high levels or membership in special organizations. The rest required payment.
In the garden, Ayano went to his designated area and trained for two full hours.
He utilized the weights in the garden, performing various compound exercises to strengthen his muscles. Then he trained with heavy metal weapons to hone his combat skills. His battle with the man the previous day had taught him that he still had a long way to go before mastering their use in real combat.
After he had almost finished his training, Ayano sat pondering for a moment before a strange sensation emanated from the Eyes of Fate Spectrum, telling him that an opportunity lay nearby.
This ability had developed significantly since he acquired the Intermediate Fate Mage ability, and although he hadn't yet combined them, a strange synergy existed between them, amplifying the effectiveness of both abilities many times over.
Ayano didn't hesitate to engage with this ability, which was fundamental to his rapid rise and development during this period. He wandered through the garden, searching carefully until he finally noticed three beautiful young women sitting in a chair hidden among the trees, talking quietly to each other.
'Oh! The Segawa sisters!' '
The eldest sister, Segawa Asaka, has a beautiful face with a beauty mark under her left eye. She has long, orange-brown hair, a motherly personality, and loves to cook.
The second sister, Segawa Tsukino, has an attractive face and long black hair. She is trustworthy, very intelligent, straightforward, and courageous.
The youngest sister, Segawa Yuki, has a kind face and dark crimson-brown hair that she ties in a ponytail. She has a gentle and slightly childlike personality, but she is also very observant.
Ayano easily recognizes all three of them; they are both his neighbors and people he remembers well from his past life.
In this world, Ayano knows that the three girls are Level 1, their abilities probably not exceeding the E level.
Three years ago, they formed a Level 1 adventure team, and he knows they couldn't attend university because of the exorbitant fees.
That's why they worked so hard to get their younger brother, Segawa Shunsuke, into a prestigious high school in the capital a year ago, guaranteeing him university admission and a better future.
Ayano used his Fate Spectrum ability on the girls and noticed a faint black mist surrounding them, slowly consuming their bodies, while a dim pink light slowly faded within them.
'Yes! That's what my ability was indicating!' '
Ayano slowly approached the girls, which caught their attention. They stopped talking, and after recognizing him, they smiled immediately and let go of their inhibitions.
In this world, the residents of apartment complexes are like one big family, so they know each other very well and often look out for one another.
Just as Ayano looked out for some despite his young age, many others looked out for him, like Tomoko-san and his older sister, Asaka.
"Oh, Ayano-kun, how are you?!"
The girls approached him, and after Asaka gave him a light hug, she felt a jolt of relief and a slight shock. "Huh?!" '
Neither Ayano nor the two girls noticed this and continued greeting each other.
"Ayano! How are you?" At that moment, Tsukino pulled Ayano towards her and grabbed his neck with her fist, ruffling his hair. She immediately felt a strange warmth and comfort in his touch.
After letting go, Yuki slowly approached him and flitted around him, sniffing him, then hugged his chest. "Strange!"
"Ayano? Why do you smell so sweet? And your hug is so comforting!"
"Hey, Yuki, don't bother him!" At that moment, Asaka and Tsukino tried to pull her away but couldn't help but touch him a few more times.
After a short while, Ayano sat down among the sisters.
They talked at length about their adventures, then about the awakening ceremony at his school and how his preparations for the entrance exam were going.
After a while, Ayano finally asked, "Are you all right?"
Ayano had noticed earlier how anxious the three of them were talking, and their behavior around him was strange; their bodies were trembling. This constantly made them try to touch him involuntarily, repeatedly, and it was clear to him that they weren't well.
"This..." Asaka began, explaining to Ayano how the three of them had been exposed to a strange poison on their last mission, a poison that had affected their bodies and from which they hadn't yet recovered.
Ayano thought for a moment, recalling their story, then his thoughts raced.
'It seems I'm in time before their brother Shunsuke returns.'
'This is my chance!'
Ayano pretended to think for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Asaka-san! Luckily for me, I know two Level 2 alchemists and have a large number of healing potions!"
Ayano took out all his healing potions and sincerely offered them to them.
"Try them; one of them might help."
Touched by Ayano's sincerity, the three of them, with a glimmer of hope, smelled the potions and used drops of some of them. Then they lost hope and told him they were useless.
"Hmm! Have you been to the doctor?"
"No, not yet!"
"Well, I have another idea! I'll call the alchemists right now!"
Ayano called both Shima and Mashima and told them that his neighbors and friends had a problem with their bodies, feigning ignorance even though he knew most of the problem.
There was a moment of silence, and Ayano noticed the three of them's embarrassment. He quickly realized what was happening.
He handed them the phone and stepped back, leaving them to talk to Shima and Mashima.
After a few minutes, they ended the call, and Asaka and her sisters sighed.
They knew the reason. They were infected by a very rare type of flower with a hidden scent, which they seemed to have encountered sometime during their journey.
As Ayano approached them, the three stared at him curiously. They hadn't expected him to know two Level 2 alchemists personally, and they hadn't asked for anything in return for his help. Clearly, their relationship with Ayano wasn't simple.
"Thank you so much, Ayano!"
After thanking him, they moved closer and lightly sniffed his body.
The alchemists had previously told them that the problem wasn't serious, but it was nonetheless bothersome and had no apparent solution or cure, which had immediately led them to think of Ayano.
They were now certain that they were smelling a strange fragrance emanating from his body, which made them feel much more comfortable and alleviated all their poisoning symptoms. The sensation of touching his body was also much stronger.
The three of them asked Ayano to wait a short while they went to the bathroom, and there they spoke very seriously.
They were well aware that their situation wasn't dangerous or life-threatening, but it was extremely distressing. Their illness would worsen over time, and unfortunately, there was no one to help them.
At first, they wanted to ask Shunsuke for help. What they needed now was clear to them, and they didn't want to ask strangers. But unfortunately, Shunsuke would be late returning to their city, and going to the capital was too expensive for them. They needed to save up to prepare Shunsuke for the beginners' exam next year.
The three of them thought for a while, then reached a conclusion almost simultaneously. Yuki spoke first, "Sisters! Do you think Ayano would be suitable to help us?"
After the youngest suggested the idea, the other two easily found the courage to discuss it. Tsukino replied, "Well! Ayano is kind, handsome, and has a good personality. We've known him since we were little, so he's not an impossible choice, and he doesn't repel me like others."
Asaka thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement and made her decision. "We can't continue on..." This situation will last longer. We need to take risks and earn money to help Shunsuke.
"That's why we'll ask Ayano for help!"
Despite the sensitivity of the matter, the three quickly agreed, especially after Asaka made her decision. She was the pillar of their family, and even the decisive Tsukino rarely questioned her.
"But will Ayano agree to this?"
After hearing Ayaka's question, Tsukino gestured to Ayano from afar and smiled slyly. "Of course he'll agree! Look how he's stealing glances at our bodies and how erect he already is!"
The three finalized their decision and approached Ayano. Asaka invited him to their house, explaining that they needed his help.
Ayano feigned confusion for a moment, then accepted their offer.
They returned by bus, and Tsukino quickly sat next to him, leaning her back against his chest, which earned her angry and envious glares from the two women.
The three entered their apartment complex, then the third building, and went up to their apartment.
Ayano sat quietly in the living room as instructed while the three went to their rooms. After a few moments, they returned to him wearing very sexy nightwear that made his eyes widen.
The three noticed this, and a slight smile spread across their faces, their confidence growing. They sat down next to him.
Ayano pretended to be a little nervous and didn't pay attention to their faces until Asaka spoke.
"Ayano! Actually, we need to get your dick!"
"Huh!" Ayano feigned ignorance and stupidity, but there was a faint anticipation and lust in his eyes, which the three noticed quickly. They smiled slyly.
Two hours later
Ayano thought about everything that had happened during those two hours, and a faint smile formed on his face.
They had all been focused and reserved for the first few minutes as the three explained the origin of everything that had occurred to them. Ayano listened attentively, trying to understand what had changed from the hentai story. But once the pleasure took hold, none of them cared about the details anymore, and they let themselves go.
Ayano lay back on the bed in complete comfort and examined his new abilities while the three sucked on his erect penis and balls.

Ayano noticed that their abilities eerily matched their personalities.
He thought for a moment, then decided to be bolder. He lightly stroked their heads to get their attention and offered them membership in his guild.
"What do you think about joining my guild?"
"I know you have financial difficulties, and I greatly appreciate how you take care of Shunsuke, risking everything for him and giving your all, but I don't want you putting yourselves in danger!"
He then showed them pictures of Shima and Mashima and continued speaking with intense focus and confidence, especially after realizing he had already caught their attention and there was a chance they would join him.
"Look here! These two are Level 2 alchemists, and you know very well how useful their support would be!"
"And Asaka! Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to..." "To become an alchemist? They'll definitely help and teach you, and you'll be able to achieve your dream!"
"You'll gain more funding, which will make your operations safer. Don't worry, the offers will be fair, and no one will take advantage of you!"
"Also, you can be considered among the first members, and I'm sure you know the advantages of this position. With the two alchemists funding the guild, its success is almost guaranteed, and there's no doubt the guild will expand in the future. Your position within it certainly won't be low."
The three of them thought for a while, looked at each other, their eyes shining, then smiled. Asaka spoke on their behalf:
"Very well, Ayano! We'll accept your offer, but only for one reason: you're the one who made it to us, and we know very well that you wouldn't harm us."
Ayano smiled at them and promised that the situation in the guild would certainly satisfy them.
