Cornelia's Residence.
After Yukino had met everyone, she took the basic magic textbook and began being taught some practical magic techniques by the group.
At that moment,
Cornelia had already brought several people before Ayato.
These people were all uniformly beautiful girls.
"It's them..."
Ayato sat on the sofa, his eyes flickering slightly.
Nina Einstein.
Dorothea Ernst.
Anya Alstreim.
Nonette Enneagram.
Monica Kruszewski.
Among these people, aside from Nina, who would later be the creator of the FLEIJA,
The others were all former members of the Round Table Knights.
"Master, they are all pure in body, and each has their own area of expertise."
Cornelia spoke. "After a series of tests, we believe they are qualified to become your servants."
The moment her words fell, the four former Round Table Knights simultaneously knelt on one knee and said in unison:
"Ayato-sama, please let us become your servants."
Only Nina was at a loss, quickly imitating the others and kneeling. "S-Sorry, Ayato-sama, I also want to become your servant."
Compared to the others, she was trembling slightly, but there was a trace of admiration and affection in her eyes.
"Don't be nervous."
A warm smile appeared on the corner of Ayato's lips as he placed his hand on Nina's head.
'So warm!'
'This is Ayato-sama's aura.'
Nina's skin flushed pink, and her body trembled even more.
But not from fear, but from excitement and other things.
'As expected!'
'Ayato-sama is so gentle.'
'No wonder he could end the war and bring peace to the world.'
'Could I...'
'Really have the chance to serve such a great person?'
Thinking this, the flesh on her thighs trembled uncontrollably.
"Mmm....."
Her eyes widened, and her face turned crimson.
'Oh no... Oh no.'
'I had actually lost my composure like this in front of Ayato-sama.
'Would I be hated?'
Ayato looked at Nina, his eyelids twitching.
Although he knew Nina had some pathological tendencies in the original work, he didn't expect it to be this exaggerated.
'What had I done?'
'It seemed her affection level was already maxed out.'
Even Cornelia and the others couldn't help but look at Nina, their gazes drifting slightly downward.
With a Devil's keen sense of smell, they of course knew what had happened.
'But did it have to be this extreme?'
'It was just a head pat.'
Utaha, Erica, and the others exchanged glances.
'This woman also had the potential of a hidden dragon. She can't be underestimated.'
"Don't worry, you will become my servant."
Ayato withdrew his gaze, tousled her hair, and then looked at the others.
With just that one look,
Anya and the other three became nervous.
They knew very well that the four of them were different from Nina.
Before this, they had been enemies.
Now, although they had surrendered sincerely, would they be recognized by this great man?
Time slowly passed, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Seeing this, Cornelia unconsciously clenched her fists.
She had some personal friendship with these people.
Of course,
When it came to choosing servants for her master, she had not been the slightest bit negligent.
These people were all pure soldiers.
Even their previous battles were merely following orders.
Now,
She had seized control of the Holy Britannian Empire, so the surrender of these people was naturally very smooth.
In the end,
Her status as a princess represented legitimacy.
Not to mention,
These people had become Round Table Knights by being chosen from hundreds of thousands.
If they could become Devils, they would surely become her master's assistance in this world.
And, every one of them was a beautiful girl.
Therefore, after some tests, she dared to recommend them.
But doing this was already the limit.
Whether they would be accepted by Ayato was no longer her concern as a servant.
As if sensing the tension in the atmosphere, Yukino put away her magic book and approached Utaha. "Utaha-san, what's happening?"
"The honor of becoming Master's servant is not easily obtained."
Utaha said calmly. "They are waiting for Master's attitude."
Yukino: "..."
'Is... Is that so?'
'But my own process had been completely different.'
Just then, Ayato finally smiled. "Although I don't know much about them, since Cornelia recommended them, I choose to trust her."
"Phew!"
Hearing this, Anya and the others all breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Dorothea said solemnly, "From now on, I am Master's sword. I would make the enemy die a thousand deaths."
"I would make the enemy die a thousand deaths." x3
At this moment, they had regained a king to serve.
Moreover, this one was a great figure who had unified the world, a legendary Devil, a king who had slain gods.
Not to mention, they could obtain longevity and unprecedented power.
All of this made them express their submission from the bottom of their hearts.
"No need for such talk. My wings don't talk about dying."
Ayato walked forward a few steps and gave each of them a head pat.
For a moment,
Anya and the other three were very surprised.
'Could we receive the same treatment as Nina?'
Being treated so gently... was also a first for them.
Unconsciously, they showed expressions like satisfied cats.
Seeing this, the corners of Ayato's mouth curled up, his eyes deep.
"Master, his skill at handling people's hearts is getting more and more formidable."
Erica couldn't help but whisper. "In such a short time, they've already been initially tamed."
Yukino asked blankly, "Is that so?"
"That's right."
Utaha explained. "Master saw through these five people at a glance, so he chose two completely different approaches."
"See, it's working well."
Hearing this, Yukino fell silent.
'Thinking about it this way... I seemed to be the same.'
