Completely distrustful, huh?
Ayato recalled his actions.
It seemed... indeed, a bit untrustworthy.
"Phew!"
Epsilon took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
She asked tentatively, "What do I need to do to keep this secret?"
"Whatever conditions you have, just name them."
"Since you put it that way."
Ayato nodded. "Of course, it's negotiable."
Hope rose in Epsilon's eyes.
As long as it was negotiable.
Hopefully, these people wouldn't be greedy.
"I'll keep your secret. You become mine."
"Ha?"
Epsilon hugged her arms, her face full of shame and anger. "No. That's the one condition I won't accept."
She looked at Alpha and the others, her gaze growing more and more grief-stricken.
No wonder.
This man was with these three.
He was a big pervert himself.
This was terrible.
If push came to shove...
A look of determination appeared in Epsilon's eyes.
"Brother Ayato, don't say things with so much ambiguity. You're scaring people."
Alpha looked at Epsilon's death-defying gaze, afraid something might happen.
"???"
Epsilon blinked, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
She carefully examined Alpha's gaze, and Epsilon's eyes flickered.
She didn't seem to be lying.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing her."
Ayato shrugged and asked, "To be precise, it's becoming my servant."
"And the benefits are great. It can cure your demonization."
Hearing Ayato's words, Epsilon breathed a huge sigh of relief.
So that was it.
He was really teasing her.
This guy... had such a mean streak.
But.
What was a servant?
And...
Curing demonization... she was very curious.
"Um..."
Epsilon hesitated.
"My name is Ayato. Ask whatever you want."
"You told me your name?"
"Is there a problem?"
Blinking, Epsilon thought thoughtfully.
Maybe... the other really wasn't a bad person?
"Alright, Mr. Ayato."
Epsilon spoke. "Can you tell me... what exactly a servant is?"
"Of course."
Ayato explained easily. "It means reincarnating as a Devil and becoming someone who serves me."
This guy... was joking again.
Looking Ayato over, Epsilon sighed. "Then... you're lying about curing demonization, right?"
"I'm really not lying to you."
Ayato shook his head helplessly. "These three... were also Demon Possession before."
What?
A flicker of disbelief appeared in Epsilon's eyes. She seemed to grasp the last lifeline and quickly said, "Then... what should I do?"
Ever since discovering she was a Demon Possession...
She hadn't had a good night's sleep.
Afraid that one day she'd wake up, be captured, and fall into endless hell.
This life...
Was driving her crazy.
"The method is very simple."
"Mm, mm."
Epsilon blinked, unable to hide her excitement.
It existed.
It actually existed.
This was... too good.
Epsilon bowed deeply and said solemnly, "Please... let me return to normal."
"I'll pay any price."
"Alright. Become my servant."
Ayato responded without hesitation.
"..."
Epsilon fell into a long silence.
She had been fooled again?
"Don't make that face."
A smile appeared on Ayato's lips. "Because once you become a Devil..."
"All your symptoms will naturally disappear."
"Don't joke at a time like this."
Epsilon said irritably. "Is teasing me that fun?"
Ayato shrugged and didn't speak.
The next moment.
With a whoosh.
A pair of Devil Wings unfurled from his back.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Air currents howled, and a strange aura spread out.
Seeing this.
Epsilon's pupils contracted violently, completely dumbfounded.
A Devil?
A real Devil?
Everything he had said before... was all true?
Staring at Ayato's Devil Wings, Epsilon's worldview was impacted like never before.
Ayato's gaze was deep, his voice meaningful. "You just said... you'd pay any price to be cured."
"Now, there's no room to back out."
Back out?
Would I dare even if I wanted to?
Refusing a legendary evil Devil...
She'd definitely be killed directly, right?
