Mikumo was very excited now.
Sincere joy rose from the bottom of her heart.
Her master was actually the God-slaying King.
She had thought that breaking through by becoming a Devil was already a great joy.
But now it seemed!
She had thought she had drawn the first prize.
Who knew it was actually an unprecedented grand prize!
Not to mention, her master seemed much more tolerant than she had imagined.
Completely unlike the legendary willful and reckless God Slayers.
But!
Having just become Master's servant, her status was worrying.
No way, she had to think of something.
Looking around at the beautiful girls, Mikumo's eyes lit up.
A way?
Wasn't it right in front of her?
Compared to them, her only weakness was her age.
But after becoming a Devil...
Then... heh heh.
Ignoring Mikumo's thoughts, Ayato raised his hand and took out a magic book:
"Here. Study the magical knowledge inside when you have time."
"Especially teleportation magic. You must master it."
"Yes, Master."
Mikumo took it instinctively and began flipping through it.
"Let's go back too."
Ayato snapped his fingers.
Hum!
A magic circle flashed briefly.
At the Shrine!
Living room!
A flash of light!
Ayato and the others appeared.
"Master, you're here."
Seiko, who had been waiting for a long time, her eyes lit up, and she prepared to pounce.
She had felt like the sky was falling.
She had only stepped out for a while.
The servants and master were gone.
She thought she had been abandoned.
"Mm. And let me introduce you to two new servants."
Ayato nodded and stepped aside.
Revealing Miu and Mikumo.
Seiko's face stiffened.
What was going on!
In such a short time, there were more homewreckers.
And two of them?
And!
Stare!
Her gaze locked tightly onto Mikumo.
Her intuition told her.
This woman was very dangerous.
Her "bad woman" radar had activated.
"Hello."
Miu nodded slightly and smiled. "I'm Furinji Miu. Please take care of me."
"Hello, I'm Ayase Seiko."
Seiko introduced herself gracefully. "Let's get along well."
"I'm Kushinada Mikumo. Please take care of me."
Mikumo explained, then pointed at the magic book and said, "Master, it seems I don't have the Blessing yet."
"Almost forgot."
Ayato slapped his forehead. "I'll grant it to you now."
"Okay, okay."
Mikumo nodded repeatedly and without hesitation came to stand before Ayato.
Although it had been a short time, she had already finished reading all the information about the Blessing.
She had even used a little cunning.
The outer clothes she had been holding had long since disappeared.
Even her walking movements were much more exaggerated.
It shook so much that Ayato felt a bit dizzy.
Good grief, for a moment he thought he saw Kugayama-sensei.
The two each had their own merits.
Without hesitation, Ayato began to grant the Blessing.
"Mmph..."
Mikumo's cheeks flushed, and her steps faltered, as if she had lost her support.
Seiko's gaze instantly became sharp.
As expected!
This woman was a schemer.
Acting like this just after becoming a servant.
What would she do later?
Miu was even more dumbfounded, her face instantly turning red.
Wh-what was going on?
It was a Blessing, that's right...
But this reaction was too big.
Was there something wrong with her?
Miu, a servant rookie, fell into deep self-doubt.
A moment later!
Ayato released Mikumo.
Then she performed a standard dogeza, her expression unreadable. "I was presumptuous just now, and now you have granted me the protection of a god despite my past offenses."
"Mikumo is truly most apprehensive. Please, my King, inflict punishment."
As she spoke, Mikumo hugged Ayato's thigh.
Her goal was clear.
This kind of thing...
Like fighting...
Required a decisive blow to seize the advantage.
Then!
If she was lucky enough to bear the King's child...
Then her status... heh heh.
Hearing this, Ayato raised an eyebrow and looked at her playfully.
Interesting.
As expected of a Master-Class fighter.
She indeed had considerable decisiveness.
And.
He couldn't refuse a servant's determination.
Hum!
With a thought, a magic circle flashed briefly.
The next moment!
Ayato and Mikumo's figures had completely vanished.
"???"
Seiko blinked, slightly confused.
What was going on?
She was still thinking about how to deal with the homewrecker.
And the other had already gone straight for the throat.
Damn it, she had underestimated her opponent.
"S-so scary."
Miu's body trembled, as if she could see the tangible resentment emanating from Seiko.
