Portside Dock.
"So it's true—you two sisters really betrayed the organization, huh?"
Belmod's eyes sharpened as she overheard the conversation between Edgar and Akemi Miyano.
At the same time,the black-clad agents behind her subtly moved, showcasing their professional training.
Splash… splash…
Everything around fell silent, with only the rhythmic sounds of waves echoing through the dock.
"Don't tell me… it's just the three of you here?"
Belmod frowned slightly, her expression turning strange.
"To deal with you? Three's plenty."
"With our Master here, even the organization could be wiped out like it's nothing."
Akemi and Shiho Miyano answered back one after the other.
They were riding high. Honestly, they couldn't even imagine losing.
"I don't know where you're getting this confidence from…"
Belmod shook her head and raised her hand lightly. "But if you've betrayed the organization, then you have to pay the price."
"Capture them."
At her command, the black-clad agents sprang into action.
"Shiho, all yours."
"Yes, Master."
Shiho nodded gently and raised one hand.
Vmmmmm—
A soft blue magic circle burst to life in midair.
Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
In an instant, blades of wind ripped through the air, slicing straight through the black-clad agents.
Their bodies froze, their eyes wide with fear and shock.
They looked down…
Bloody gashes appeared before their eyes.
Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!
Blood sprayed everywhere.
And just like that, all the agents collapsed—each one cleanly cut in half.
"…"
Belmod's face went pale as sweat trickled down her forehead. She was visibly horrified.
Even Akemi stared at the bloody mess in disbelief.
She hadn't expected Shiho to be the one to act.
And even less did she expect her to be that powerful.
Did this mean…she could gain that kind of power too?
Edgar looked at Belmod with a faint smile. "Belmod, right? Let's talk."
Belmod flinched at his voice.
Without hesitation,she turned to run.
But—
The moment she moved, her body suddenly froze.
A heavy, unexplainable pressure completely wrapped around her.
An overwhelming sense of dread rose in her chest.
If I move… I'll die.
That thought screamed through her mind.
"This is just a warning. I trust you're not stupid enough to try that again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure vanished instantly.
Thud!
Belmod's legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the cold ground.
Edgar casually stepped over the corpses and stood in front of her, lifting her chin with a finger.
Her pale, beautiful face trembled.
Her heaving chest looked like it would burst out of her shirt from sheer fear.
Even the curves of her body, normally elegant, now radiated a kind of dangerous sensuality in her vulnerable state.
Even Edgar's eyes lit up at the sight.
"W-What… what are you?"
"What did you do to Shiho Miyano?"
Belmod's voice carried obvious anxiety as she tried to calm herself.
Edgar gently played with a strand of her golden hair and said with a faint smile,"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Edgar—a demon."
"As for Shiho, she's now one of my demon familiars."
"D-Demon…?"
Belmod was in utter disbelief.
But those razor-sharp wind blades just now… there's no way they were some kind of illusion.
"So yeah,"
Shiho stepped forward with a smile, black wings spreading wide from her back,"You better behave."
"…"
Belmod's pupils shrank.
Her entire worldview was being shattered before her eyes.
After a long moment, Belmod let out a bitter laugh and raised her hands in surrender.
"Alright… whatever it is you want from me, I'll cooperate."
Edgar smirked, "Now that's what I like to hear."
"No choice, really. You're a legendary demon, after all,"Belmod sighed. "Trying to fight back as a mere human is just suicide."
"Then… you know where the organization's headquarters is, right?"
"I do. But that guy's always there. I'll need to arrange things first."
Edgar narrowed his eyes. "You seem to know exactly what I want to do."
Belmod chuckled, "Well, Akemi did say she wanted to destroy the organization."
"And to be honest… that's what I want too."
She wasn't lying.
Originally, she'd planned to wait for the "Silver Bullet" to handle it.
But now that an actual demon had shown up, what the hell did a silver bullet even matter?
Edgar gently patted her on the head and smiled."Then I'll leave it all to you. Don't let me down, alright?"
The moment he finished speaking—
A flash of light lit up the magic circle.
And in the blink of an eye, Edgar and the others vanished from the scene.
In a private villa.
Belmod stood still, dazed.
So this… is the power of a demon…
"Where are we…?"
"My home," Edgar replied casually, waving his hand. "Pick any room you want."
He was starting to really like this villa.
Big and spacious—lots of rooms.
Honestly, if it wasn't this big, he'd probably have run out of space already.
...
Shiho stepped into Edgar's room, her gaze flickering nervously.
"Master, I still need to teach Sis magic…"
"Did you forget what you promised me?"
Edgar sat down and casually placed the key on his lap.
Shiho's body trembled slightly at his words.
She really had lost her mind for a moment back there.
If she'd just stayed quiet…
Her pervy Master would've probably turned her sister into a familiar on his own.
But now…
It was too late.
She bit her lip gently, her ears turning red. After a pause, she gave a small nod."Y-Yeah… I know. I won't break my promise."
Hearing that, Edgar sat upright immediately.
A powerful sense of conquest surged inside him.
In the next moment—
He smiled slyly."Now that's my adorable familiar."
Shiho looked at him, her face completely red with embarrassment.
But deep down, in the shadows of her eyes…
There was a strange flicker of excitement.
Almost like—
She was secretly… looking forward to it.
And then—
She moved slowly, like a kitten, crawling toward Edgar.
Her fingers gently reached for the key on his lap.
The heat between them grew thick in the air.
That familiar energy pulsed with a scorching intensity.
"..."
