Time passed bit by bit, and soon the sky approached dusk.
In the Student Council office.
Abel stared wide-eyed at the crow with a bow on its head.
That's right, this crow was Kanae's Kasugai Crow, "Yan." When she left earlier, she casually threw it into Kamui Space, and Abel had just released it from his Kamui Space.
"Tell me, how did my things end up like this!"
Abel pointed at the various colored fruits on the desk, many of which had been pecked by birds, and said somewhat helplessly.
These were all fruits unique to the Underworld, and some were even poisonous!
Ever since he had Kamui, Abel had stuffed everything he had into it, and he had forgotten to take this Kasugai Crow out after putting it in.
As a result, the Kasugai Crow in front of him wasn't poisoned to death; instead, it ate itself into a demon beast, which was ridiculous.
"Hmph~ Of course, I was hungry. Besides, what's wrong with eating them?"
Yan glanced at Abel, finished speaking, and flew to Kanae's shoulder to stand. It was hard to imagine a gentle Kasugai Crow turning into this.
Abel also feigned anger, saying, "Hey, my temper!"
"Alright, alright, Abel, don't be angry."
Kanae also comforted Abel, then kissed Abel on the corner of his mouth. After all, she hadn't expected to see Yan again.
Yan also covered its head with its wings.
Young birds should not see.
"Alright, Yan, apologize to Abel."
"No, and I object to this marriage!"
Hearing Kanae's words, Yan refused and objected.
One must know that this guy in front of it had stuffed it into that place without the sun for an unknown period, whether it was ten days or half a month. If it hadn't been able to find food, it would have starved to death long ago.
What's wrong with eating some fruit? What's wrong with objecting to the marriage?
"Objection overruled."
With that, Kanae flicked Yan on the head.
Then, one person and one bird began to squabble.
After a while, Abel stopped the person and the bird.
"Alright, since you little fellow have already become a demon beast, then Kanae won't need to go to the Demon Forest tonight."
"So, Kanae, you should make a contract with Yan."
Abel said simply.
After all, having a partner who was already perfectly harmonized meant there was no need to find a new one.
"What should I do?"
Kanae asked Abel in confusion.
Then Abel explained to Kanae, and Yan also listened in from the side.
After a while.
"Let's begin."
"Mm."
Kanae looked at Yan standing on the ground, raised her right hand, and guided her magic power.
"In the name of Kochou Kanae, I create a contract with you. You shall become my familiar. Respond to my contract."
As Kanae's words fell, she and Yan were enveloped in pink light.
The contract officially began.
After a while, as the light dissipated, Kanae and Yan completed the contract.
Yan was also a little curious about the current feeling.
This feeling of establishing a connection with Kanae was really good.
"Hmph~ I acknowledge you."
"I don't need your acknowledgment either."
Abel also flicked Yan on the head, who had flown to his shoulder.
They started arguing again.
As time passed, Miko entered with Yurikawa Hana and Asia.
Seeing that everyone was present, Abel spoke up.
"Everyone, tonight is the night of the full moon. You have also graduated from your internship and become official low-level Devils. Later, we will go to the Demon Forest with Rias and Sona to help Hana and Asia find familiars."
"Master, what is the purpose of a familiar?" Yurikawa Hana also raised her hand and asked a question.
Abel took a sip of water and began to answer.
"Familiars have many uses. In the future, things like flyers will be handled by your familiars. At the same time, familiars are also your partners in battle, and sometimes they will play different roles."
After listening to Abel's words, everyone understood.
However, Miko raised her hand and asked, "Why can't Kanae and I go?"
Abel continued, "Kanae has already made a contract. As for you, Miko, I have already made arrangements. Tomorrow, I will take you to make a contract. You are very familiar with that guy, you know ~"
After all, today's main focus was on Asia and Yurikawa Hana's familiars. As for Miko, she had a dog at home, so there was no need to worry about her not having a familiar.
"Brother, what is your familiar?"
"My familiar, haven't you all been getting along very well at home?"
Listening to Asia's words, Abel also said with a smile.
"Eh!?"
Everyone was confused. Getting along every day?
Grayfia and Elsa were both Abel's dependents, and there was only one person in the house who was not a dependent.
"Tiamat is Brother's familiar!?"
"That's right~"
"Really or fake!"
Everyone was a little bewildered. After all, no one had expected that Tiamat, who liked to lounge on the sofa playing games and watching dramas, and occasionally fed everyone, was actually Abel's familiar.
The world was a bit too fantastical.
Abel also raised his hand and summoned Tiamat.
"Abel, what do you need me for?"
With Tiamat's appearance, everyone believed that the blue-haired big sister in front of them was Abel's familiar.
"Later, we need to go to the Demon Forest to help Hana and Asia find familiars. We might need to trouble you a bit."
"Go back to the Demon Forest to find familiars? No problem, I still have a lot of things I haven't taken. It's a good chance to go get them back together."
After listening to Abel's words, Tiamat also agreed. After all, she still had many treasures she hadn't taken.
Now, Abel's team was all assembled.
Now, they just waited for Sona and Rias.
After a while, the magic circles representing Sona and Rias appeared before them.
"Good evening, Abel."
"Good evening."
"Sona, Rias, good evening."
Their voices arrived before they did, greeting them.
Sona brought Shiro, and Rias brought Issei. The two walked out of their respective magic circles, and when they saw Tiamat, they felt relieved.
"Sona, Rias, where are Akeno and Tsubaki?"
"Oh, they went to deal with Harbingerss, and since it's just to help Issei and Motohama find familiars, there's no need to go together."
Facing Abel's confusion, Rias did not hide anything.
After hearing their words, Abel also nodded.
After a while, the bell rang.
This also meant they could depart for the Demon Forest.
Abel raised his hand, and white light enveloped everyone except Kanae and Miko.
"Kanae and Miko, I'll leave things here to you. See you later. Now, teleportation activated!"
Destination: Demon Forest!
The entire Student Council office emitted a dazzling light.
