"Ram, that's very rude."
Emilia tugged Ram's sleeve and said quietly, "Sir, please forgive Ram's rudeness."
"But we do have matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."
Ayato: "..."
Good grief.
What she said and what she did were completely different.
Was he really that untrustworthy?
Although his intentions were indeed impure, Ayato was still a bit put out.
Sensing Ayato's mood, Emilia also felt a bit awkward.
It seemed!
What she did was indeed a bit wrong.
It seemed like she had hurt his feelings.
Just as Emilia was thinking about how to comfort Ayato.
Ayato said, "You don't need to be so wary of me."
"I came here to help you."
"Ha?"
Ram blinked and said sarcastically, "Is that so? Why do I only see a big pervert?"
"Ram, that's too rude."
Emilia covered her mouth, looking at Ayato, wanting to say something but holding back.
"Never mind, let me get straight to the point."
The corner of Ayato's mouth curled up, and he said seriously, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Mori Ayato, and I am a Devil."
"May I ask if you need a Devil to grant your wishes?"
"???"
Emilia, Ram, and Puck were full of question marks.
Devils and such?
Was the person before them joking?
"Well, um..."
Emilia poked her fingers together, already not knowing how to react.
It seemed!
Saying anything would make the other person feel offended.
"Okay, Mr. Devil. I don't have any wishes to grant right now."
Ayato: "..."
Master's words... the other party didn't believe them.
Elsa gave Felt a look.
Not only did they not believe him, they completely ignored him.
But Devils and such... were indeed hard to believe.
Felt returned a look, but was holding back a laugh.
"If you want to laugh, go ahead."
Ayato glared at her, but said helplessly, "If you don't believe me, don't force yourself to act."
"I'm very sorry."
Emilia lowered her head sheepishly.
It seemed... she had made things worse.
But Devils and such...
Although there were legends, she had indeed never heard of anyone actually seeing one.
"Don't apologize. A normal person would react the way you did."
Ayato shook his head and took out a Devil flyer. "If you need anything, just summon me."
"Can you be any more sloppy with this Devil summoning?"
Ram said sarcastically.
"Ram, stop it."
Emilia smiled slightly, took the flyer, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Devil."
"If I run into trouble, I'll think of you."
"Then I'll look forward to our next meeting."
Ayato smiled and left with Elsa and Felt.
"Oh my, I thought Master would make her his servant right away."
Elsa covered her mouth and laughed. "I didn't expect Master to leave so decisively."
Ayato shook his head and smiled. "Some things can't be rushed."
He was just planting a seed for now.
After all, once he had set his sights on her, how could she get away?
Felt muttered, "Yes, yes, you're just a big pervert. Tens of thousands of servants still aren't enough."
The more she learned.
The more she felt this master had shaken her worldview.
Ayato looked at her strangely. "Yo, why do you sound so jealous?"
Elsa smiled. "Maybe she's jealous."
"Don't talk nonsense. How could I be jealous?"
Felt's pretty face flushed red, and her hands and feet began to fumble.
But her little heart started to thump, thump, thump.
N-no way.
Had she really fallen in love?
How could that be?
He was a genuine, real big pervert.
Ayato gave her a head pat and smiled. "Don't be jealous."
"After all, you are all my wings."
"I will treat you all equally."
"...Who would like a big pervert like you?"
On the other side!
After Ayato and the others left, Emilia didn't move.
"That's it?"
Ram blinked.
She had originally thought the other party had ulterior motives.
Now it seemed... had she overthought things?
Emilia smiled and said, "It seems that self-proclaimed Devil has no malice."
Ram nodded in understanding. "Indeed, it seems he's just a simple pervert, not here to harm you."
"Ram, that's too rude."
Emilia said reproachfully. "And with Puck here, we don't need to worry about safety."
"That's right. If he were a womanizer, I'd just knock him away."
Puck held his head high, looking very confident.
