"So, how about becoming my servant?"
Ayato looked at Ram, the corner of his mouth curling up.
"I can see you've been damaged, but if you become a Devil, you will gain even greater power."
He was determined to have Ram.
He wouldn't let her go no matter what.
After all!
She also had a little sister.
Twins and such...
He didn't have that attribute among his servants yet.
Hearing Ayato's words, Ram fell into thought.
To be honest.
She really hadn't had this idea at first.
But now.
She was truly tempted.
She needed power. The power to protect her little sister.
On the other side.
Emilia wanted to say something but held back.
To be honest, she would be happy if Ram became a Devil.
After all, having spent so much time together, she could more or less guess some of Ram's thoughts.
And what Master had just said was indeed not false.
After all, having just become a Devil, she deeply felt it.
The surging magic power, the strong physique, the perception far beyond what she had imagined.
Not to mention.
The Sacred Gear and the Blessing.
This was power she couldn't have imagined before.
If Ram became a Devil with her, she definitely wouldn't regret it.
And.
Having someone familiar become a Devil with her...
But as a friend.
She couldn't make this decision for Ram.
Whoosh!
After a long while, Ram took a deep breath.
"It seems you've made a decision."
Ayato looked at her deeply. "Then, give me your answer."
"Okay. I am willing to become your servant."
Ram nodded heavily.
Ayato smiled with satisfaction and set up the barrier again.
He took out an Evil Piece and said, "Come, take off your clothes first."
T-take off clothes?
Hearing this, Ram's cheeks flushed bright red, her pupils contracting violently.
What was going on?
Did becoming a Devil require serving first?
Had Emilia already...
Thinking of this, she was flushed red.
Although she had made her decision.
Wasn't this kind of thing too fast?
Although, Ayato was indeed exceptionally handsome.
"That's right, Ram, don't misunderstand. You only need to take off your outer clothes."
Emilia, unable to bear it any longer, spoke.
Th-this... was that so?
Ram swore.
Emilia's voice, in her current view, was simply the sound of sky.
She closed her eyes, steadied her emotions, then opened them again.
Although still shy, she had calmed down.
"I understand."
She hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned around and took off her outer clothes.
Then.
Holding her jacket in her arms, she carefully turned around.
"N-next... what should I do?"
Her voice trembled slightly.
This was the first time in her life.
She had done this in front of a man.
Although!
It was just her jacket.
It was still embarrassing enough.
"Just leave the rest to me."
Ayato stepped forward, pressing down the Evil Piece in his hand.
"Hiss..."
The cool touch made Ram gasp slightly.
The moment the Evil Piece touched her, it slowly sank into Ram's body.
Thump! Thump!
Ram's body trembled, her heartbeat deafening.
It seemed like something was surging inside her.
Then.
She felt her back and tailbone gradually changing.
Hum!
Then, a red light flickered.
Ayato raised his right hand, and the Boosted Gear appeared.
A red line rippled through the air, slowly flowing into Ram's body.
"A Special-type Balance Breaker?"
Ayato was somewhat surprised.
He had thought she would be a Magic-type like Emilia.
But that made sense.
After all, she had the identity of an Oni.
That was also a special aspect.
At the same time.
A pair of Devil Wings extended from Ram's back.
A Devil Tail also slowly emerged.
But Ram didn't pay much attention to the external changes of her body.
Because at this moment, she was completely immersed in the changes within her body.
She felt.
A vast power flowing through her body.
Faintly, it seemed that her broken horn was beginning to show signs of healing because of that power.
Could she... recover?
A look of disbelief appeared in Ram's eyes.
Then!
Her entire being became completely excited.
After losing her horn.
She had also tried various methods, hoping to regain her lost power.
But without exception, they all failed.
And now.
After becoming a Devil...
While gaining new power, she also had hope of recovering her demon power.
At this moment.
She felt as if she had been favored by world once again.
