Time passed.
The atmosphere grew heavier and heavier.
Just as Chikage and Mikumo's hearts were sinking to the bottom, Ayato finally spoke.
"Since it's the request of my beloved servant, then of course it's fine."
"Thank you for your kindness, my King."
Mikumo breathed a huge sigh of relief.
For the sake of this disciple, she had racked her brains.
Chikage performed another grand bow. "Thank you very much, King."
Ayato gave her a head pat.
Hmm!
The feel was good.
He took out an Evil Piece and said, "Then, let's perform the Reincarnation Ritual now."
Chikage took a deep breath and began to move.
Even though she had long been prepared...
Her movements were still a bit slow.
After all, this Reincarnation Ritual was quite a shock to her worldview.
A moment later, she held her outer clothes in her hands and stood up.
Ayato didn't hesitate and pressed down the Evil Piece.
At the same time!
He raised his hand and summoned the Boosted Gear.
Hum!
A crimson light slowly drilled into Chikage's body.
Her blood cells, internal organs.
Everything about her was undergoing a fundamental transformation.
Another Special-type Balance Breaker?
Sensing Chikage's changes, Ayato was a bit dumbfounded.
Could it be that Mikumo's school had something special about it?
Otherwise, should he observe?
No one knew how long passed.
Flapping her Devil Wings, Chikage murmured softly:
"So this is the power after becoming a Devil?"
So strong.
She really had become much stronger.
Was this the reason her master had so strenuously urged her to become a Devil?
Although she was a genius child...
Because of her age...
She didn't have a very deep understanding of Devils and Kings.
But now.
She finally understood the reason.
She instinctively looked up, as if trying to imprint Ayato's face in her mind.
This big brother...
Was Master she would serve for life from now on.
She took a deep breath, immediately performed a dogeza, and said loudly, "Thank you, Master, for granting me a new life."
At this moment, there was deep gratitude in her voice.
"No need for that. From now on, we are family."
Ayato gave her a head pat. "There are others your age among the servants. Get along well with them."
"Okay, okay!"
Chikage nodded repeatedly.
Poke, poke.
Feeling someone poke her back, she turned her head and saw a pair of unique eyes.
"I'm Hozuki Yayoi. Please take care of me."
"Mm, I'm Kushinada Chikage. Hello."
…
Time passed!
Over the next few days.
Ayato's life returned to calm.
Basically, he was jumping between various worlds.
Of course, besides fulfilling his duties as a master, he also visited the unique landscapes of each world.
As CC said, this was also a date.
For this kind of activity that enhanced feelings between servants, Ayato naturally wouldn't refuse.
But soon!
The peaceful days were broken.
Today!
Fubuki's Villa.
"Master, the Hero Association has contacted you, hoping you will attend a Hero Meeting."
Fubuki put down the phone, somewhat puzzled. "They sounded very urgent, as if something really important happened."
"Master, will you go?"
"Since they asked, it wouldn't hurt to take a look."
Ayato looked up at the sky, the corner of his mouth curling up.
His gaze flickered, as if penetrating the thick clouds and the cosmic starry sky.
Faintly.
He felt a powerful aura.
No need to think.
This was probably that cosmic overlord.
"Could it be that Master has another target?"
Fubuki asked curiously. "What kind of beautiful girl is it this time?"
"Am I really that kind of person in your eyes?"
Fubuki: "..."
What kind of person you are, Master, don't you have a clue?
"This time it's not a beautiful girl. It should be a pretty strong guy."
"Really?"
Esdeath, who was nearby, her eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up. "I want to go too."
"Then let's go together."
Ayato shrugged. "Fubuki."
"I know, Master."
Fubuki nodded slightly, and a precise magic circle appeared beneath her feet.
Hum!
A flash of light!
Ayato and the others instantly appeared in the lobby of the Hero Association's headquarters building.
Instantly!
They caught the attention of several staff members.
One person quickly said respectfully, "Ayato-sama, please follow me."
"Mm."
Ayato nodded and followed behind the staff member, taking the elevator.
Come to think of it.
Although Ayato was now the Hero Association's largest sponsor...
This was his first time here.
He had to admit.
The interior decoration was very unique.
Giving a refreshing sense of technology.
