Smack!
Hana's breathing quickened.
She pursed her lips, her gaze darted away, afraid to look Ayato in the eyes.
As a first-time experience, it made her little heart race.
Her head was still dizzy.
She could barely tell north from south.
Miko tugged at Hana's sleeve. "Are you okay, Hana?"
"I'm... fine."
Hana was already walking stiffly towards the door, moving awkwardly.
"Um, I have something to do. I'm going back first."
Bang!
The door closed. Hana had fled.
Tap tap tap!
After running out of the school building, Hana leaned against a large tree, her eyes slightly unfocused.
'So this is a kiss.'
She breathed heavily, her fingers gently pressing against her thin lips.
Unconsciously, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
'The first time...'
'Didn't feel bad.'
…
Supernatural Service Club!
"This is... unexpectedly innocent."
Momo's expression was strange.
Although the first blessing always caused a shock...
This was the first time she had seen such a reaction.
"Interesting."
Ayato smiled and shook his head. "Miko, I'll leave her to you. When you have time, take her to Seiko's place to get acquainted."
"Okay."
Miko nodded. "Then I'll be going too."
With that, she also ran out of the activity room to contact Hana.
On the other side, Yukino's expression was complicated.
'Master had gained another wing.'
She heard that in the Black Bullet World, the number of Cursed Children reincarnated as Devils was nearly ten thousand.
If that was the case... shouldn't she take the initiative?
Biting her lip, Yukino suddenly stood up and strode to Ayato.
"???"
Momo blinked.
'This scene... looked strangely familiar.'
"King, like you said before."
Yukino grabbed Ayato's arm, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Replenishing."
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Ayato smiled slightly and leaned down.
Momo: "..."
'Yukino... actually did that?'
A look of confusion appeared in her eyes.
'Even she was working this hard.'
Unconsciously, Seiko's teachings echoed in her mind.
'Should I... stop standing still?'
'But,'
'If I really did that...'
'Wouldn't it be too embarrassing with Grandmother?'
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Momo began to bang her head against the wall, the whole wall shaking.
"???" x2
Ayato and Yukino turned their heads, their expressions strange.
'What was happening?'
'Had this girl gone crazy?'
Just as they were wondering, Ayato's expression sharpened.
He found that he had been called by another other world summoning.
…
In a private gym!
"9611, 9612, 9613... 9999 — 10000."
"Phew!"
Fubuki breathed out, released her psychic power, and ended today's training.
She sat on the ground weakly, picked up her water bottle, and took a sip.
"Fubuki-sama, you train too hard."
Lily handed her a towel, her eyes full of admiration. "Actually, Fubuki-sama, you're already very strong."
"No, it's not enough."
Wiping the sweat from her forehead with the towel, a look of unwillingness appeared in Fubuki's eyes.
Compared to her sister...
Her current strength was nothing.
The harder she tried...
The more she could feel that chasm, like a natural moat.
"How... can I surpass my sister?"
Looking out the window in a daze, Fubuki momentarily lost focus.
"Actually, it seems there might be a way."
Lily seemed to remember something and began searching through her things.
"Yes, this is it."
She took out a flyer and smiled. "Fubuki-sama, I got this by chance during a hero activity."
"It seems you can summon a Devil to make a wish."
"How could something like that be real?"
Fubuki took it casually and was about to tear it up.
"Hmm?"
She found she couldn't damage it at all.
"Interesting."
Fubuki's eyes narrowed slightly. An invisible wave emanated from her.
Rattle! Rattle!
All the surrounding gym equipment began to shake violently.
The entire flyer, though constantly distorting, showed no signs of damage.
A moment later,
Fubuki held it in her hand, falling into silence.
'My full power... couldn't damage a single piece of paper?'
"See, Fubuki-sama? Isn't it special? Maybe Devils really exist."
Lily said confidently.
"How could Devils possibly exist in this world."
Fubuki shook her head. "But this flyer is indeed interesting. Maybe it's the product of some mad scientist."
Even as she said this...
Fubuki was tempted.
What if she tried it?
It didn't seem like it would hurt.
"Mr. Devil, please grant my wish."
The moment her voice fell, a dazzling light flickered in the gym.
Hum!
Under their watch,
A seemingly extremely complex magic circle appeared.
Seeing this, Fubuki stepped back, instinctively assuming a defensive posture.
The next moment,
Ayato's figure slowly walked out from within.
"You are my contractor?"
"You are... a Devil?"
Fubuki looked at Ayato, her expression somewhat strange.
'This Devil was wearing a school uniform?'
'But the magic circle just now... seemed kind of legitimate.'
"Genuine, guaranteed."
Ayato shrugged. A pair of black wings extended.
"Devils... really exist?"
Lily was stunned.
She had just been trying to divert Fubuki's attention.
But now,
A Devil had actually been summoned.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fubuki's psychic power surged, like a sudden gale.
She had attacked without warning.
Ayato frowned and waved his hand lightly.
Boom!
The gale exploded.
Fubuki flew backward, hitting the far wall.
"So... strong."
Fubuki managed to stand up, rubbing her back with one hand.
"Fubuki-sama."
Lily was startled and quickly went to help her.
