"I agree. From now on, I will become a Devil."
Ayato looked at Epsilon, who had smoothly dropped to her knees, and nodded slightly.
Indeed.
Very sensible.
He raised his hand and took out an Evil Piece.
"Since you've decided, let's get down to business."
Seeing the Evil Piece, a flicker of confusion appeared in Epsilon's eyes.
She twitched her mouth and said with some difficulty, "Mr. Ayato... what is this?"
"An Evil Piece."
Ayato explained. "A necessary item for the Reincarnation Ceremony."
"Once it's inserted into your body, you'll be a Devil."
Epsilon was stunned.
This method of Devil reincarnation...
Wasn't it a bit too casual?
And how could such a large piece be inserted into the body?
Would it require a knife?
She was very afraid of pain.
But.
Under the circumstances... she didn't seem to have a choice.
Come to think of it though.
If Devils were really as good as he said...
Becoming a Devil wasn't such a bad thing.
After all, her life now was lived in fear.
She had already expected.
It wouldn't be long.
She wouldn't be able to hide it anymore.
Better to truly become a Devil and live another kind of life.
As for whether he was lying...
That probably couldn't be false.
Since he was in complete control of the situation, lying would be pointless.
Countless thoughts swirled.
Epsilon's gaze grew firm.
She nodded heavily. "Please begin."
"Good."
Ayato didn't stand on ceremony. "Let's start with the first step."
"Mm, mm."
"First, take off your outer clothes."
"Eh? Ehhhh?"
Epsilon's cheeks quickly heated up, her whole body trembling violently.
T-take off clothes?
What kind of absurd procedure was this?
Or was it that before the Reincarnation Ceremony...
This big pervert wanted to collect something?
She snuck a glance at Ayato.
Although he was a Devil...
He was even more handsome than their elves.
And becoming a servant... she would probably be living with him, right?
If that was the case... it wasn't unacceptable.
"I... I understand."
Although she had made the decision in her heart, when she actually spoke, she was extremely shy.
After all!
She had only met him today.
"Then, begin."
"I-I know."
Replying, Epsilon took off her outer clothes, leaving only her white undergarments.
Stare—
Alpha and Beta looked at Epsilon's chest, a knowing smile playing on their lips.
Ah.
It was really quite flat.
Delta blinked and looked down at herself, a bit confused.
What were these two women...
Comparing?
She always thought about strange things.
Sensing Alpha and the others' gazes, the corner of Epsilon's mouth twitched, and she inexplicably felt frustrated.
These women...
Were about her age.
But their nutrition... was maybe too good?
But the moment the Evil Piece entered her body, Epsilon had no mind to think.
Thump! Thump-thump!
Her heart began to race, her blood boiled.
Her muscles, bones, internal organs all began to change rapidly.
Her body was hot.
A strange power surged.
Whoosh!
A heart-shaped tail tip was the first to emerge.
Then!
Two black wings burst from her back.
"So... these are the symbols of a Devil?"
Epsilon's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help reaching out to touch them.
"Hiss!"
She inhaled, her skin instantly flushing pink.
This tail... was very strange.
Feeling the stares around her, Epsilon wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
This was so embarrassing.
Hum!
At this moment, the power of the Boosted Gear surged.
Red lines of energy flowed into Epsilon's body.
Indeed.
Another close-combat Reinforcement-type Balance Breaker.
After sensing for a moment, Ayato spoke. "Alright. From now on, you are a Devil."
"Oh."
Epsilon quickly put her outer clothes back on.
Then began to feel her physical condition.
She... had indeed become much stronger.
And there was a wonderful power flowing within her.
Was this also a Devil's ability?
Most importantly, the pain in her body had truly disappeared completely.
Thinking this.
A book appeared before her.
"The contents here will answer most of your questions."
"What is this?"
"Basic knowledge for servants..."
Ayato briefly introduced the magic book.
Hearing Ayato's words, a flicker of strangeness appeared in Epsilon's eyes.
Good grief.
The servant group she had joined... even had precautions in book form.
It was really hard to comment on.
