Gamma looked at Ayato, her eyes evasive.
No matter what.
She was still a girl.
Meeting someone for the first time and doing this...
Made her overthink.
Was there really nothing wrong with this Reincarnation Ceremony?
"This is fine. We can begin now."
Ignoring Gamma's thoughts, Ayato stepped forward and pressed the Evil Piece directly onto Gamma's smooth skin.
"Mm..."
Gamma's body trembled slightly, her cheeks growing hotter and hotter.
Thump! Thump!
All her wild thoughts stopped abruptly.
All that remained was the violent pounding of her heart.
The moment the Evil Piece entered her body.
Gamma could feel that earth-shattering changes were happening inside her.
Especially her back and tailbone area, which were extremely itchy.
As if...
Something was about to come out...
Hum!
At that moment, Ayato summoned the Boosted Gear.
A red line of energy swam through the air, then entered Gamma's body.
"Oh?"
Ayato's eyes moved.
It was a Magic-type Balance Breaker.
Thinking about it... that made sense.
After all, in the original work, Gamma was known for her astonishing magical power.
But her combat ability as a magic swordsman... was a long story.
Now it seemed.
The combat system of this world had restricted her.
A moment later.
Gamma's eyes widened.
She looked at her wings and tail, murmuring softly.
"All of this... is real?"
She was a Devil now?
Mm. That made sense.
They, whom everyone called Demon Possession, were destined to become Devils.
And the corroding features were completely gone.
That meant.
From now on, she would no longer be tortured by demonization.
Gamma's eyes grew brighter and brighter, feeling that this was the greatest stroke of luck in her life.
And all of this...
Was the gift of Brother Ayato.
She looked at Ayato, her gaze dazed.
As if to engrave his features into the depths of her soul.
Brother Ayato was now her master.
And the god of all Demon Possession.
Even if he was a Devil... it didn't matter.
"Phew!"
Gamma took a deep breath and said with utmost seriousness, "Thank you, Brother Ayato, for giving me a new life."
"No need for that."
Ayato smiled slightly and gave her a head pat. "You are destined to become my servant."
"Next, follow Alpha and rescue the other companions."
Feeling the warmth on her head, Gamma's cheeks flushed.
Someone like her... had been given a task by Master.
She was needed.
But...
She hesitated, her eyes dimming. "But, Brother Ayato, I'm not good at fighting. I'm afraid I can't help you."
Before becoming a Demon Possession...
Fighting had always been her pain.
"Sometimes, physical force isn't the only way to solve problems."
Ayato tapped her forehead and chuckled. "Wisdom is equally important."
"And not being good at fighting... is just a matter of using the wrong methods."
As he spoke, Ayato took out the basic magic book.
"You're probably not good at close combat. So focus on studying these ranged spells."
She instinctively took it and quickly flipped to the magic section.
Just a few glances.
Gamma's eyes lit up.
These spells... did seem suitable for her.
"Brother Ayato, I won't let you down."
Gamma nodded firmly at Ayato.
"Mm. But it's best to master teleportation magic first."
"Okay. I'll work hard."
"Oh, and there's also a Blessing. I need to grant that."
"Blessing? What's that?"
"Simply put... it's a kind of divine favor, protection, and the like..."
The power of a god?
Wasn't Brother Ayato a Devil?
How could he have the power of a god?
Slightly puzzled, she withdrew her gaze from the magic book and looked at Ayato, about to ask more.
Then!
She saw Ayato's handsome face getting closer and closer.
"???"
Gamma's face was full of question marks.
She had a feeling...
Something was wrong.
"Mmph..."
The next moment, her eyes widened.
Then, Gamma completely flushed.
Her blood accelerated, every cell in her body seemed to jump.
A power flowed into her.
A moment later.
Ayato released Gamma.
"Th-th-th-th-this is a Blessing?"
Gamma blinked, her eyelashes trembling, already in a dazed state.
"Tch. If you like it, just say so. Hypocritical woman."
Delta curled her lip, her tail swinging unhappily.
Gamma's body stiffened.
She had been found out.
Although it was her first time...
If it was Brother Ayato... it was just perfect.
