The next day.
Early morning.
In the dining room.
Emilia looked at Beatrice, who had dark circles under her eyes, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Judging by her appearance, she hadn't taken her advice and hadn't slept all night.
Hearing the laughter, Beatrice fidgeted with her hair, somewhat embarrassed.
She truly regretted it.
She shouldn't have given in to curiosity.
Coming out of the Forbidden Library from time to time to eavesdrop.
Who knew...
It would be so exaggerated, lasting all night.
By the end, she simply couldn't sleep.
After a while, Beatrice's eyes darted around, and she said teasingly, "Emilia, since you know so much, it seems you've been through it yourself."
Emilia was stunned, her pretty face flushing slightly.
In that sense...
She had indeed experienced some major storms.
Much of that was thanks to Elsa.
"Oh my, Betty hit the mark."
Beatrice smiled. "After all this time, haven't you had any thoughts about Big Brother Ayato?"
"Speaking of which, that Miss Shigure only joined the servants not long ago, right?"
Emilia opened her mouth, wanting to speak but holding back.
Come to think of it...
Master took in servants too fast.
If she wasn't careful...
Several more would appear.
And as for herself...
Thinking about it, her thoughts grew more and more chaotic.
At this rate, it seemed like it wouldn't work.
Should she... take action herself?
Noon that day.
Ayato walked out of his room, looking refreshed and energetic.
After thoroughly disciplining Kuroka and the others...
He made them understand that their strength was insufficient and needed more training.
Just as he arrived at the hall.
He saw Rem and Ram walking towards him.
"Something wrong?"
Ayato raised an eyebrow.
"Ayato-sama, please let me become your servant."
Rem's expression was serious as she knelt down.
"Master, please reincarnate Rem as a Devil too."
Ram tugged at Ayato's sleeve, pleading. "After all, she might do something dangerous."
For her own younger sister...
For both emotional and practical reasons...
She wanted Rem to become Master's servant.
The benefits gained from becoming a Devil were far too many.
Not to mention...
If someday...
They truly encountered the Witch Cult, her younger sister's personality would absolutely not be able to hold back.
Given her current strength, she would likely not survive.
And aside from Master's servants...
Putting everything else aside...
With a Blessing on her body, she couldn't die even if she wanted to.
"Since it's my servant's request..."
"Then naturally, it can be done."
Hearing this, Rem looked up, already showing surprise and joy.
"However, becoming my servant, do you know what that means?"
Ayato spoke. "From now on, whether in body or soul, you will serve me for life."
S-s-s-serve?
Rem's pupils contracted violently, her ears completely reddened.
Unconsciously...
The high-pitched voices of Elsa and the others surfaced again in her mind.
Instinctively.
She glanced at Ayato.
Mm, he was really handsome.
And to gain power, she had no room to hesitate.
"Rem is ready."
She took a deep breath, but her face grew redder and redder.
After all, determination and action were two different things.
"Then let's begin."
Ayato raised his hand, and an Evil Piece appeared.
"???"
Seeing this, Rem blinked, confusion on her face.
Ayato: "..."
What's going on?
Had Ram said nothing?
"Master, because I wasn't sure if you would agree, I didn't explain the specific details."
"I see."
Ayato understood. "Then, first take off your clothes."
"Ah?"
Rem's eyes widened, panicking like never before.
Was the serving starting already?
But this was too fast.
Almost instinctively, Rem stumbled back a few steps.
Ram covered her head.
She knew it would be like this.
That was also why she hadn't explained the specific details beforehand.
Otherwise...
This younger sister of hers probably wouldn't have been able to act so quickly.
She quickly said, "Rem, don't worry, just take off your outer clothes."
"Don't overthink the rest."
Hearing this, Rem realized she had misunderstood.
"S-sorry, Ayato-sama."
After apologizing, Rem began to remove her outer clothes.
A moment later.
Only her white undergarments remained.
"W-what should I do next?"
She held her clothes, slightly lowering her head, not daring to look at Ayato.
Doing this in front of a boy for the first time...
Was indeed too embarrassing.
"There's no problem. Just leave the rest to me."
Ayato stepped forward and pressed the Evil Piece onto her.
"Mmph..."
The cool touch made Rem's eyes widen.
Her skin flushed faintly pink, and the Evil Piece slowly sank into Rem's body.
