"What do we do next?"
Yurikawa Hana was a bit curious.
"It's like this, first, you have to lift your clothes."
Yotsuya Miko instructed from the side.
"Huh? Lift my clothes? Wh-why?"
"It's not what you're imagining, Xiao Hua, it's a very proper contract process. Mai and I both went through the same thing."
"Alright then... but, Rosen, don't look."
"How can I sign the contract if I don't look? Don't worry, it's just exposing your lower abdomen."
Rosen was exasperated.
If he really wanted to do something, would he need to be so indecisive?
However, modesty was a good thing.
This place was, after all, different from the Apocalypse World.
Or rather, women in each different world view had different attitudes towards male-female relationships.
For example, in a post-apocalyptic world like the Apocalypse, women's concept of chastity was far less strict than in times of peace.
However, girls like Rei Miyamoto and Juchuan Shizuka still chose their own preferred partners.
The situation where certain H-anime heroines and side characters would give in just by hearing, "You don't want your husband to lose his job, do you?" would be impossible in a normal world view.
Upon hearing this, Yurikawa Hana said nothing more.
Instead, she somewhat shyly lifted her top.
Just as she was about to take it off completely, Yotsuya Miko's "Stop" halted her.
"Just lift your clothes to expose your belly, you don't need to take everything off."
She was a bit speechless.
The speed at which she was taking off her clothes was so fast that she hadn't even reacted.
But then again.
Xiao Hua's figure was actually so well-endowed?
Lord Rosen must really like girls like this, right?
"And then?"
Yurikawa Hana asked.
As her voice fell, Rosen condensed an irregularly shaped Light Lance from his hand.
"It might tickle a bit, but it'll be over quickly."
Then, Rosen slowly brought the Light Lance closer to Yurikawa Hana's slightly bulging lower abdomen.
Her fair belly subtly rippled due to her nervousness, looking somewhat cute.
The girl instinctively flinched.
It was only natural.
She couldn't help but sweat: "Is... is this going to poke in?"
"Don't worry, it won't hurt."
Yotsuya Miko comforted her from the side, while also holding her from behind.
"But it's so big... it, it'll be very uncomfortable, won't it?"
Yurikawa Hana's speech started to stutter.
She was super afraid of pain!
However, Rosen didn't give the girl another chance to back out. He quickly pierced the Light Lance into the girl's lower abdomen, and then, under the catalysis of divine power, intricate golden patterns quickly emerged on her flat skin.
—Sacred Mark.
This was proof that the girl's body had been transformed, and also a symbol of becoming Rosen's dependent.
"This power..."
Yurikawa Hana was astonished by her increased strength and clearer vision.
At the same time.
A butter-like substance seeped out from the girl's pores, quickly staining her clothes.
"Ah! What is this? It smells so bad and fishy!"
The girl screamed.
"Those are toxins and waste normally expelled from the body after stepping into the extraordinary realm. The bathroom is over by the entrance, go on."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yurikawa Hana ran into the bathroom like the wind, her speed so fast that it left him a little bewildered.
·· ··· ···
However, bathing was more important than sensing the changes!
Rosen conjured a set of clothes and threw them to Yotsuya Miko.
"Give these to her after she's done bathing."
.....
While Yurikawa Hana was bathing, Rosen also imprinted the girl's ability values onto a blank sheet of paper.
Contractor: Yurikawa Hana
Class: Low-level Divine Messenger
Strength: i0, Durability: i0, Dexterity: i0, Agility: i0, Divine Power: i0
Skills:
"Life Energy MAX"
0...0
Forms a barrier of life energy around the body, capable of resisting all external attacks.
Has special damage and defense bonuses against undead-type beings.
Can be actively consumed and released outwards as life energy, causing large-scale damage.
Has a special alluring effect on undead-type enemies.
"Glutton"
Consuming food can increase the recovery rate of life energy.
The more delicious the food, the faster the life energy recovery rate.
Accelerates food digestion and increases stomach capacity.
Not prone to gaining weight.
When Rosen imprinted the ability values, Yotsuya Miko and Sakurajima Mai curiously gathered around to look.
"Oh, I see. So the golden flames around Xiao Hua are life energy? No wonder ordinary undead can't get close to her."
Yotsuya Miko clicked her tongue in wonder.
But what puzzled her was, even though Xiao Hua had this ability, why couldn't she see the undead?
"Glutton… strengthens life energy by eating, and can even increase stomach capacity…"
More importantly, the passive effect of not being prone to gaining weight truly made both girls envious.
Although she had one less skill compared to them, they were all very practical!
