This man...
Seemed like an ordinary person.
No.
Impossible.
If he didn't have some skill, he absolutely couldn't have appeared here silently.
Should she call someone?
But...
Would anyone really come?
A look of gloom appeared in Zeta's eyes.
"It seems you are in great need of help."
Ayato spoke. "And I am exactly the one who can help you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Interrupted from her thoughts, Zeta remained alert.
"It seems I need to be more specific."
Ayato smiled slightly, looking into Zeta's eyes.
"For example... I can cure you of being a Demon Possession."
"Wh-what?"
Zeta was stunned, instinctively touching herself.
This person... could tell she was a Demon Possession at a single glance?
"I don't know how you know, but don't think you can deceive me."
Zeta focused her mind, but didn't believe a single word Ayato said.
Since Demon Possession had appeared, they had been incurable.
Otherwise, why would her father have locked her up here?
"This kind of thing is actually very easy to prove. You just need to..."
Before Ayato could finish, his brow furrowed slightly, and he raised one hand.
Bang.
Ayato: "..."
"Even if you don't believe me, there's no need to be so decisive with your foot, right?"
"You blocked it."
Zeta's pupils contracted sharply. She immediately withdrew her kicking foot and began to retreat quickly.
Indeed.
This man was definitely not simple.
Seeing her alert gaze, Ayato shook his head.
It was understandable.
Her guard was very high.
But that was only natural.
If anyone, a complete stranger, showed kindness to them for no reason...
Claiming to be able to cure an incurable disease that the whole world couldn't...
They probably wouldn't believe it either.
Oh well. No need to rush.
Without hesitation, Ayato took out a Devil flyer.
Something offered proactively was worthless.
But salvation in a moment of despair... was different.
"I know you don't believe me now. But if you encounter a crisis, use this to call me."
Ayato handed over the Devil flyer.
Zeta instinctively took it. Just one look made her eyelids twitch.
"A... Devil?"
She really didn't know how to react.
Demon Possession, whom the world avoided...
This person actively approached them.
And called himself a legendary Devil.
Even made this kind of thing...
Had he lost his mind?
Zeta shook her head. "I don't know what you're thinking, but this thing..."
Just as she was about to return the flyer, Ayato interrupted her.
"Keep it. It won't hurt you."
"What if it actually works?"
Ayato blinked and then cast teleportation magic, leaving.
Soon.
Ayato reunited with Alpha and the other servants.
"Oh my, Master failed? That's very rare."
Utaha covered her mouth and laughed, seeing Ayato return alone.
"Hmph. Have you ever seen me fail?"
Ayato looked confident. "Don't worry. She won't escape."
"Set up teleportation coordinates here. Station some converts here to keep watch."
Although Zeta kept the flyer...
Just in case.
He wanted to leave some precautions.
"Understood, Master."
Servant Base.
A light flashed.
Ayato led the servants out of the magic circle.
Suddenly.
Ayato's eyes lit up.
Coming into view was a girl with black hair.
She looked only a few years older than Alpha.
But had an indescribable mature air.
"...Hello."
Sensing Ayato's gaze, Gamma spoke timidly.
Instinctively.
She covered the parts of her body showing demonization.
But in her eyes...
There was anticipation.
Could this big brother... really save her?
"Hello. You're Gamma, right?"
Ayato smiled and greeted her.
Gamma was stunned and said instinctively, "Big brother, you know me?"
"Mm."
Ayato nodded.
The third seat of Shadow in the original work.
With this, his collection path had taken another solid step forward.
"You've heard about becoming a Devil, right?"
"Y-yes."
Gamma nodded. Doubt was in her eyes, but more was hope.
Ayato took out an Evil Piece and spoke. "Since you know, let's begin."
Gamma's breathing grew heavier, her cheeks flushing.
After a pause, she began to move.
"I-is this okay?"
She hugged her outer clothes, her face as red as an apple.
