"So you're the one called the Goddess of Wisdom who resolves monster disputes."
Looking at Kotoko, a look of understanding appeared on Rin's face.
"Then, what business do you have with me?"
"Nothing much. Just a courtesy visit."
Kotoko smiled slightly and took out a gift. "After all, in this Fuyuki City, any supernatural phenomenon inevitably involves the distinguished magical family, the Tohsaka Family."
Rin was quite pleased with Kotoko's words.
She could also tell.
Although the other called it a visit, it was also a way of paying respects and building a relationship.
She was a very smart woman.
After a brief chat, Kotoko prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Ayato stopped her. "If you're in danger... you can use this."
As he spoke, Ayato took out a Devil flyer.
Kotoko: "..."
Devil summoning?
Looking at the flyer, Kotoko's eyelids twitched.
She had always used her wisdom to resolve disputes among monsters.
Having encountered all kinds of information, she naturally knew something about Devils.
But receiving this thing... was a first.
"This..."
She looked at Rin hesitantly.
"Glare."
Rin stared intently at Ayato.
Sure enough.
This pervert was still going to make a move?
Sensing Kotoko's gaze, Rin sighed. "If you want my advice... you should take it."
"After all, besides your special ability, you're just an ordinary person. If you encounter danger, it will be useful."
Hearing this, Kotoko hesitated for a moment, then still thanked him and took it.
Rin was right.
This thing could indeed be used as a trump card.
Even someone as confident as her didn't think she would never encounter danger.
After Kotoko left, Rin muttered, "You big pervert."
"I didn't expect you to have patience now. I thought she wouldn't get away today."
Ayato said seriously, "Really. I'm a proper person. When it comes to building a harem, I've always believed in mutual consent."
"Just saying that proves you're not a decent person."
Shadow World.
Alpha found Ayato.
"Master, we've found traces of the Gold Panther tribe."
A light flickered in Ayato's eyes.
If that was the case...
His next servant should be found.
One day later.
Ayato led his servants to a remote place.
Ahead was a village.
Faint cooking smoke could be seen rising.
"Master, should we fight our way in?"
Delta crouched on the ground, like a little dog, a sharp glint in her eyes.
"No need."
Ayato rubbed Delta's hair and ears, chuckling. "They are the kin of our new servant. Not enemies."
Utaha glanced at Ayato and Delta, her gaze somewhat peculiar.
It had to be said.
She had underestimated this child.
Although a battle maniac...
She had no sense of boundaries whatsoever.
Sometimes, she really acted like a pet.
This attribute... was indeed very competitive.
She touched her own ear, thinking to herself.
Should she study a spell to become an animal?
Then, what should she turn into?
Ignoring Utaha, whose thoughts were gradually going off track.
Ayato led his servants slowly into the village.
The villagers didn't react much to their arrival.
Their tribe was not isolated from the world.
They often came into contact with human merchants.
So as long as humans didn't show hostility, they would respond peacefully.
"Look around. You can buy some local specialties or something."
Ayato instructed and began to wander on his own.
A moment later.
In front of a house.
"This should be the place."
Ayato withdrew his senses, his eyes flickering slightly.
Throughout the entire village...
Only this place had the aura of a Demon Possession.
"But... the door is locked?"
After thinking for a moment, Ayato's figure flashed and vanished.
When he reappeared.
He was inside the house.
Coming into view was a girl with short gray hair, lying by the window.
He hadn't made a mistake. It was definitely her.
Ayato looked her over and slowly walked forward.
Tap, tap, tap.
Zeta, who had been daydreaming, heard footsteps and instinctively turned her head.
A handsome face came into her view.
"Who are you?"
"How did you get in here?"
Zeta instinctively flashed, putting distance between herself and Ayato, and assumed a fighting stance.
