"Fine. I choose to become a Devil."
Nikumi looked at Ayato and nodded firmly.
Her expression was very determined.
It was in stark contrast to her frightened look just now.
After all, he was a legendary Devil.
Even with only one percent of the methods from the legends...
She wouldn't be able to resist.
So, she might as well be sensible.
Besides, she looked at Erina and Rindou.
These two influential figures in the academy... were probably reincarnated as Devils too.
At least they seemed to be doing well.
"A wise choice."
Ayato smiled slightly. "Then from now on, your body and soul will belong to me. You will serve me into the eternal future."
S-serve?
Nikumi's face turned red, her eyes spinning.
Oh, right!
She had almost forgotten about that.
When she came in earlier, the state of Mr. Devil and Nakiri Erina and the others was clearly abnormal.
She...
Would she become one of them now?
But...
Nikumi looked carefully at Ayato.
Well... he was really handsome.
If that was the case, it might be acceptable.
And!
The atmosphere had been set.
She clearly had no room to refuse.
"Fine. I agree."
After speaking, Nikumi's face reddened even more.
After all, as a maiden...
"Serving" and such...
Was too embarrassing.
Ayato spoke, "Since that's the case, take off your outer clothes."
"???" Nikumi.
The next moment, her pupils began to tremble violently.
To become a Devil, you had to take off your clothes?
So that "serving"...
Was this about to start?
Wasn't this too fast?
And... there were other people here.
Unconsciously, her body began to tremble.
Her hands raised and lowered, her head feeling dizzy.
"There's nothing else. Don't overthink it."
"It's just to make it easier to place the Evil Piece."
Ayato took out an Evil Piece and stopped teasing her.
She looked like she was about to faint.
He was afraid that if he kept teasing, Nikumi would pass out.
Huh?
Huh? Huh?
Nikumi froze in place.
Then, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know what the piece was for, but...
Not having her first time here was a good thing.
Whoosh.
She took a deep breath, hesitantly took off her outer jacket, leaving only her light brown undergarment.
Nikumi looked at Ayato with evasive eyes, waiting for further instructions.
"Come closer."
"Mm."
Nikumi stepped forward, placing her hands on the desk.
Unconsciously...
Some not-for-children images appeared in her mind.
Really?
Was she just overthinking?
Could it be...
Just as she was lost in thought, a cold touch came through her clothes.
She instinctively looked down.
She saw the Evil Piece slowly sinking into her body.
Nikumi's pupils contracted, and she couldn't help but let out a muffled grunt.
Some power was surging within her.
The transformation of her cells and blood made her unconsciously clench her fists.
Especially her back and tailbone... they were so itchy.
No.
She had to endure.
At the same time!
Ayato also raised his right hand, summoning the Boosted Gear.
Hum!
A red line slowly drilled into Nikumi's body.
A Reinforcement-type Balance Breaker?
After sensing for a moment, Ayato's eyes flickered.
Come to think of it...
These few chefs under his command were all Reinforcement-types.
Among those who used spiritual power...
There were many Special-types.
Was there some kind of buff involved?
Shaking his head to end his wild thoughts, Ayato patted Nikumi's shoulder and said:
"Okay. From now on, you are my servant."
Nikumi, who was completely flushed, felt her head spinning.
That's it... she had become a Devil?
It was that easy?
But come to think of it...
Her body did feel countless times stronger.
She clenched her fist, and was completely back to her senses.
She reached behind her, and her body instantly trembled.
"Ah!"
If not for one hand holding the desk, she would have almost fallen over.
This should be the Devil's tail, right.
Grabbing it even once felt very strange.
Thinking this, she felt a chill, and her face instantly turned bright red again.
She quickly stood up and put her jacket back on, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Here. This is basic knowledge for servants."
At her words, a book appeared before her eyes.
"Read it carefully. Many of the spells inside are very useful. Master them as soon as possible."
"Okay."
Nikumi took the book, hesitated, and said, "Is... this it?"
"Oh, right, there's also the Blessing."
"What's that?"
"A servant's benefit. Everyone gets one."
"Oh."
Nikumi nodded, but suddenly realized something was wrong.
Wait!
Too close!
"Mmph..."
Her eyes widened, and her expression became dazed.
