"Master-Servant Contract… you want me to be Mio's servant?"
Takumi cast a cold glance and immediately refused. "If I get to be the master, fine. But servant? Forget it."
Maria hurried to correct. "Of course not! Takumi-nii, you'll be the master."
"Huh? Really? This still feels weird…"
Hearing she would have to be the servant, Mio felt deeply uneasy. Maria quickly comforted her. "Mio-sama, don't think too seriously. This way, you'll be able to sense each other's locations, right? Even if it's called a master-servant pact, it's really just formality."
Under her coaxing, Mio agreed in a daze. Only Raynare, gagged on the floor, thrashed in panic.
"Mmphhh!!!"
I never agreed to this!
Her internal screams went ignored. Takumi's earlier blow had crippled her ability to summon light power for the moment.
Before the ritual began, Takumi insisted Maria first teach him the details of [Master-Servant Contract Magic]. He had to understand it himself—just in case Maria slipped in any tricks.
Maria didn't object; in fact, if he had agreed right away, she would've been suspicious.
While Takumi studied, Mio fidgeted nervously, her pale fingers twisting her clothes as her crimson eyes kept stealing glances at him.
"First he was my Onii-chan… now he's to be my master. It's so embarrassing. No, it's all fake—it's just formality."
Her hands pressed against her heavy chest, trying to calm her pounding heart. Shameful as it felt, some part of her anticipated it. If it were anyone else, she'd reject instantly—but with Takumi, she was completely unsettled.
By then, Takumi had finished learning the magic. It wasn't complicated—once popular among demons long ago. But because of its excessive coercion, most servants would die prematurely. Any thought of rebellion triggered instant punishment, often fatal. Branded servants had no future but suicide.
As war thinned pure-blood demons, the contract fell out of use, replaced by chess-piece servants. The succubus had "refined" the ritual, softening the punishment into a curse instead of instant death—but their sexual version was never adopted by other demons.
"Full of twisted flavor. As expected of the succubus clan," Takumi muttered, satisfied.
He stepped into the magic circle. As he chanted, light flared. Bands of glowing ribbons wrapped around Mio and Raynare, linking back to his hand like chains.
With Mio trembling nervously, Maria reminded. "Takumi-nii, a magic seal will appear on your hand. Before it fades, both of them must kiss it for the pact to form."
Mio. "K-kiss?"
Raynare. "Mmph?"
Mio's face went scarlet. "Why didn't you say that earlier?!"
"Don't worry about that now, Mio-sama! The seal's disappearing!" Maria urged.
But Mio still hesitated, and Raynare writhed away, secretly gathering what little light she could. The pact was about to fail.
Then, as the seal faded, pink tattoo-like marks appeared on both Mio and Raynare's necks—a ring around their white throats, centered with a heart-shaped crest.
A strange, overwhelming sensation coursed through their bodies.
"N-no way… t-this is…"
Mio suddenly convulsed, collapsing as tremors shook her body. Beside her, Raynare's face flushed as she let out a muffled moan.
Testing, Takumi reached out and brushed Mio lightly.
"Yaaaahhnn!"
She screamed with ecstasy and toppled to the floor. Watching them writhing like they'd been electrocuted, Takumi sucked in a deep breath.
Maria's magic was way too powerful! This Master-Servant Contract packed far more punch than he imagined.
Raynare, forcing her light to break the gag, gasped. "What… is this curse… the pact failed… why…!"
Maria averted her eyes guiltily. "The spell actually activates when the chant ends. Not kissing the seal counts as [Refusing Loyalty to the Master]. The contract doesn't just track positions—it was also designed to keep subordinates obedient. If they betray their master, or even harbor guilt, the curse punishes them. Our succubus clan weakened it, turned it into… well… this. I only meant to give the Fallen Angel a lesson… who knew Mio-sama too…"
Mio and Raynare glared at her furiously—before another wave of the curse hit, their eyes rolling back, leaving them speechless.
Maria panicked, grabbing Takumi's hand. "If subordinates resist the master, the curse grows stronger! Without the master's forgiveness, or if they attack again, the mental and physical strain will fry their nerves until they collapse! At this rate, Mio-sama is going to be in 'heaven' in every sense! What do we do, Takumi-nii?!"
Takumi stared at her blankly. You made this too strong, and now you're asking me what to do?
Looking at Mio and Raynare's flushed, trembling bodies, an intense determination rose in him. If not me, then who? If I don't descend into hell, who will?
Today—he would feed the demons with his body. And, well, the angel too… even if she was fallen.
"Maria. Back me up."
"No problem!"
Maria's eyes gleamed with excitement, her succubus tail slipping out to sway behind her. For all her teasing, she'd never had a real "first time." But to watch such a thrilling scene unfold before her—it was pure delight.
Blood rushing, heart pounding, she thought. This is exactly the kind of bloodbath I love!!!
