Ignoring Alpha's thoughts.
Beatrix swayed back and forth like a pendulum.
"Master, can you let me down now?"
Ayato: "..."
He really hadn't expected Beatrix to change her attitude so quickly.
But...
This was also good.
He had originally thought he would need to discipline her more before she would listen.
But now...
It was completely unnecessary.
"Untie."
With these words, the clear wind that had formed the rope disappeared completely.
Free once more, Beatrix's eyes flickered. She approached Ayato, her cheeks flushing red. "Actually, being hung up wasn't so bad."
Although saying this was embarrassing...
Having lived for so long...
Though she had no experience...
She knew that for some things, she had to take the initiative.
Hmm, Ayato's eyelids twitched.
Good grief.
Was this Beatrix's personality?
After thinking for a moment, he put it out of his mind.
After all, in the original trajectory, there wasn't much written about her.
What she was like in private was truly unknown.
Moreover, this was a real world.
Slight deviations were not surprising.
"Aunt, can you have some shame?"
Alpha blushed, glaring angrily at Beatrix.
Don't underestimate a Devil's hearing.
She had heard everything just now.
"Didn't you say that a servant's everything belongs to Master?"
Beatrix said meaningfully. "I'm just fulfilling my duties as a servant."
"Is there something strange about that?"
Pfft!
Alpha felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart.
She should have known not to explain so detailed earlier.
Now...
The boomerang had finally hit her.
On the other side, Delta's ears twitched. She leaped up and directly hung onto Ayato's body.
"Delta also wants to fulfill her duties as a servant."
Although she was unclear about many things...
Her intuition told her that the woman before her was a huge threat.
Just like... Sister Utaha and the others.
Being outdone by the senior servants was one thing.
But!
This woman, who was her defeated subordinate just a second ago...
Absolutely not.
Sensing the hostility, Beatrix carefully examined Delta, her eyes flickering slightly.
"As expected, just a child, right?"
After becoming a Devil, her five senses had become much sharper.
From observation and smell...
Hmph.
There was absolutely nothing between them.
"Ch-child."
Delta stared intently.
What child?
Who was a child?
She instantly bristled.
Her gaze became extremely dangerous.
To this, Beatrix just smiled slightly.
Although she probably couldn't beat Delta now...
But now they were on the same side.
If conflict occurred, she believed Master wouldn't sit idly by.
Ayato rubbed Delta's head, then took out a basic magic book and handed it to Beatrix.
"Here. There are some techniques and spells, plus the basic knowledge for servants."
Taking the magic book instinctively, Beatrix immediately began flipping through it.
"Is that so?"
After reading for a while, Beatrix's body began to tremble continuously.
What did she see?
A king who slays gods.
The ruler of other worlds.
The arbiters between Fallen Angels, Angels and Devils.
Each of these titles was more frightening than the last.
Master's origins were far more terrifying than she had imagined.
Compared to these...
The so-called legendary Devil was nothing.
She had thought it was a huge opportunity.
Now comparing...
She didn't even know how to describe it.
"You can read the book later. I still need to grant you a Blessing."
"A Blessing?"
Beatrix was stunned.
It seemed like she had seen that somewhere.
Flipping through, Beatrix's eyes lit up.
Found it.
"???"
Just one look, and her pupils shrank deeply.
Th-this was a Blessing?
This was just too...
"Look at me."
Hearing Ayato's voice, Beatrix instinctively looked up.
Then!
She saw those ruby-like eyes growing infinitely larger before her.
"Mmph..."
So this was... a kiss...
And...
Something... was flowing into her body.
So this was... the power of Authority?
No one knew how long passed.
Beatrix finally pulled away from Ayato's lips.
"What's the matter? Looks like someone's all talk."
Ayato gazed into those beautiful eyes, the corner of his mouth curling up.
"Wh-who said that?"
Beatrix covered her face with both hands, but her eyes evaded.
"Hmph, turns out she's not much either."
Delta looked up, feeling a little relieved.
