Manipulating hearts, seducing humans.
Terrifying, cunning, the root of all evil in the world.
All ominous events are related to them.
This is how Demons are described in various legends.
And today.
Miyano Shiho was facing all of it directly.
She clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly.
Oh, clever brain, quickly think of a solution!
"By the way, I'm your savior, there's no need to be so afraid of me."
Linde looked at Miyano Shiho and spoke.
Miyano Shiho was startled, and then relaxed a little.
It seemed that this was indeed the case.
Perhaps the idea that all Demons are bad was just a stereotype.
"Now that you've calmed down, let's talk business."
Miyano Shiho was stunned, and subconsciously said, "What business?"
Linde smiled, "Let's discuss the matter of compensation."
Miyano Shiho's pupils contracted, and she said incredulously, "You're demanding repayment for your kindness?"
"Precisely, well summarized."
Linde said with a half-smile, "After all, when we Demons do things, we must exact a price."
Gulp!
Miyano Shiho swallowed, feeling a bit desperate.
What he said… made so much sense.
"What, what compensation do you want?"
Linde extended his hand, "Let me mark you."
Miyano Shiho crossed her arms over her chest, blushing with indignation, "You… you perverted Mr. Demon."
"Oh, how did you know?"
"…"
Miyano Shiho's mouth twitched.
Should she try to escape?
After thinking about the fate of the several Cursed Spirits, Miyano Shiho deflated like a punctured ball.
How could she possibly escape?
She took a deep breath and began to mentally prepare herself.
"Regardless, it was indeed a life-saving grace."
"A touch won't make me lose a piece of flesh."
"Damn it, I've never even had a boyfriend."
"However, this Mr. Demon is indeed quite handsome."
Miyano Shiho gritted her teeth, having made up her mind.
She leaned closer to Linde, pulled open her collar with one hand, and said with a blush, "Just once, okay?"
"???"
Linde blinked.
What was this woman thinking?
Or do smart people always overthink things?
Knowing that the other party had misunderstood, Linde had no intention of explaining.
As long as his goal was achieved, that was fine.
Without hesitation, Linde began to act.
"Wait a minute, why are you unbuttoning my clothes? Mr. Demon, control yourself."
"Don't overthink it, it's just so it's easier to leave the mark."
"Wait."
Miyano Shiho's lower body tensed, and her face turned crimson, "What do you mean by that finger?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely not what you're thinking."
"It seems Mr. Linde is well aware of how perverted what he's doing is."
A faint light shimmered, and a heart-shaped pattern flashed and disappeared.
"This, this is it?"
Miyano Shiho subconsciously asked.
Linde said with a half-smile, "What else did you want?"
"…"
Miyano Shiho's face instantly turned red.
It seemed she had completely misunderstood.
Thump! Thump-thump!
The next moment, Miyano Shiho had no time to think.
Her heart pounded violently, and every cell in her body cheered.
At the same time.
Mysterious characters appeared on Miyano Shiho's skin.
[Miyano Shiho]
[Race: Demon]
[Master: Linde Lucifergus]
[Level: LV9]
[skill: Heart of Magic]
[Heart of Magic: Any magic in the world holds no mystery for you; you can master it extremely quickly.]
"Becoming a demon, is this the limit of a Lower-level Demon?"
"And Heart of Magic, a good skill."
Linde glanced at her, a smile playing on his lips.
A good start.
He had his second Retainer/Subordinate as soon as he arrived in the Human World.
He took out paper and pen and began to write down the data.
Miyano Shiho leaned over and looked, exclaiming, "I'm a demon?"
"Yes, I should have told you, right?"
"Heh... heheh."
Miyano Shiho's eyelid twitched.
What the hell did you tell me?
She opened her mouth, then finally sighed.
Never mind.
She was already on the pirate ship anyway.
Besides, becoming a demon didn't seem like a loss.
She still looked human, except for the extra wings and tail.
And... Miyano Shiho clenched her fists.
It felt like one punch could kill a cow.
And this Heart of Magic.
She also had a chance to learn the legendary magic.
Recalling the power Linde had just displayed, she actually felt a little excited.
Suddenly, Miyano Shiho remembered something.
"Um, since you're my Master, shouldn't you look out for me?"
Linde nodded: "That's only natural."
"Then, can I seek revenge on someone?"
Miyano Shiho gritted her teeth.
Hmph, hmph.
Black Organization.
Did you ever imagine this day?
"Alright, lead the way."
...Komaou Town.
A secret research facility.
Linde and Miyano Shiho descended from the sky.
Miyano Shiho was a little dazed.
This was what flying felt like.
"Actually, you could just take me directly to the Black Organization's headquarters and solve it once and for all."
For Linde, annihilating the Black Organization was like stepping on a nest of ants.
"I wish I could."
Miyano Shiho came back to her senses and shook her head helplessly: "Unfortunately, the organization doesn't truly trust me."
As they spoke, the two had already walked forward.
Their arrival was clearly seen by the surveillance, immediately alerting the guards inside.
"Sherry, what do you mean by bringing outsiders here?"
"Have you betrayed the organization?"
Several Men in Black calmly attached silencers to their guns.
Miyano Shiho swallowed and whispered, "Demons, they shouldn't be afraid of guns, right?"
"How little do you think of demons?"
Linde rolled his eyes: "Change your mindset."
"For demons, even with firearms, ordinary people are simply too fragile."
As his voice fell, magic power spread.
Crack!
The neck of a Man in Black twisted once, and he fell to the ground.
Ordinary people have no experience?
Linde's eyes flickered, then he said, "See, just like that."
"But, but I've never killed anyone."
Miyano Shiho stepped back, hiding behind Linde.
"..."
Linde's mouth twitched.
"Didn't you want revenge?"
Linde grabbed Miyano Shiho by the collar and lifted her up.
Miyano Shiho flailed her arms and legs: "I, I'll think about it again."
"Don't think about it, practical combat is the best training."
At this moment, several Men in Black also reacted.
"How did he die?"
"Never mind, shoot first."
The next moment.
A flash of gunfire.
Several bullets were already flying towards Linde.
Seeing this, Linde unhesitatingly placed Miyano Shiho in front of him.
"Shiho, it's up to you."
