Living room.
"In that case, from now on, everything about you belongs to me."
Staring at Kisara, Ayato unceremoniously took out an Evil Piece.
Taking her as a servant had been his goal all along.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed his Devil identity so readily.
Now,
With her so eager, he naturally had no reason to hesitate.
"It would be my honor."
Kisara took a breath. "Master, how should I cooperate for the Devil reincarnation?"
'Changing her address already.'
'Not bad. Me likey.'
The corner of Ayato's mouth curled up. He raised the Evil Piece. "Actually, the Reincarnation Ceremony is very simple. I just need to put the Evil Piece inside your body."
"Ah?"
Kisara was a bit confused. "How... how do you put it in?"
"Not difficult. Just take off your clothes first."
"..."
Kisara swallowed. Her expression was conflicted.
Although she had already made her resolution...
Giving her first time to a chess piece was still a bit much.
But,
At this point, there was no turning back.
She abruptly stood up, grabbed her clothes with both hands, and pulled down.
"Master, begin."
"..." xN
'This woman was this bold?'
'And she had misunderstood something, right?'
But although they wanted to complain, Utaha and Xenovia's gazes sharpened.
Such initiative...
Was unexpected.
'It seemed another major threat would appear among Master's servants.'
"Cough!"
Ayato coughed, but didn't look away. "Actually, just taking off your outer clothes is enough."
"Huh?"
Kisara was stunned. Her face instantly flushed bright red.
'Th-this is bad.'
'Had I misunderstood?'
'Th-this is far too shameful.'
'Would Master think I am a shameless woman?'
Forcing down her embarrassment, Kisara sat on the sofa and took off her top.
Seeing this, Ayato quickly acted, placing the Evil Piece on the designated spot.
"Hiss, it's so cold."
Kisara's body trembled, but her gaze didn't waver.
Under her watch...
The Evil Piece seemed to ignore obstacles, slowly sinking into her body.
Thump!
The next moment,
Kisara's pupils contracted violently. The sound of her heartbeat echoed through the living room.
It felt like something was surging out.
Then,
The muscles in her back and tailbone began to writhe slowly.
At the same time,
Ayato raised his right hand and began to grant the power of the Boosted Gear.
A crimson tendril slowly entered Kisara's body.
'Another reinforcement-type Balance Breaker?'
Sensing it, Ayato's eyes flickered.
He had also noticed.
Generally, if someone was a martial or close-combat type before becoming a Devil, they were likely to be a strengthening type.
'This person's aura...'
Gazing at Kisara, Saeko's eyes lit up.
She could sense that the other party was already a very strong swordswoman.
'After becoming a Devil...'
'She would certainly improve by leaps and bounds in a very short time.'
'That way, O would have someone to spar with among the servants.'
Thinking this, a smile appeared her lips.
She had joined the servants a bit late.
Even with high combat talent, catching up to her seniors wasn't easy.
Rei and the others from the same period were no match for her.
She felt Kisara was worth looking forward to.
At this time,
The crimson magic circle gradually faded.
Kisara stood up from the sofa and stretched slightly.
She could feel she was countless times stronger than before.
Even the damage to her body had been fully healed.
Turning her head, she saw the pitch-black wings.
Flapping them instinctively, Kisara took to the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
She grew faster and faster, maneuvering through the building.
'Not bad. Just becoming a servant and already giving Master a benefit.'
Ayato nodded to himself.
"Tendo-san, your clothes."
Watching Kisara's movements grow increasingly wide, Artoria couldn't help but remind her.
"..."
Kisara was stunned, nearly falling from the air.
She quickly landed and began fumbling to put on her clothes.
"Th-thank you."
Once dressed, Kisara thanked Artoria softly.
"It's nothing. It was the right thing to do."
Artoria smiled. "We're family of servants now."
"Family?"
Hearing this, a look of daze appeared in Kisara's eyes.
'Could I... have a family again?'
"That's right. From now on, you are also one of my wings."
Ayato walked forward. "But before that, there's one last gift for you."
"Gift? What is it?"
"A god's blessing."
"???"
Kisara was confused.
'Master is a Devil, right?'
'A god's blessing... seemed a bit incongruous.'
As she was thinking, Ayato got closer and closer.
'What was happening?' An uneasy feeling arose in her heart.
"Mmpphh..."
Kisara's pupils trembled.
'My mouth... was blocked.'
'Something seemed to be flowing in.'
'This... is a god's power?'
After a long while,
Kisara pursed her lips, her expression dazed.
"This power is one-time use."
Artoria reminded her. "Unless it's a crisis, it's best not to use it."
"Otherwise, you'll have to ask Master to replenish it."
Kisara's fingernail touched her lips. "Is that so?"
She recalled the sensation just now, a smile playing on her lips.
Her first kiss... felt pretty good.
"Here. This is what every servant needs to learn. Pick what interests you."
Ayato handed her the basic magic book. "But you must learn the several basic magic spells from the foundation section."
"Okay!"
Taking the magic book, Kisara held it preciously in her arms, as if it were a treasure.
All of this... was the power for her revenge.
