Jill admitted,
She was engaging in the biggest gamble of her life.
She was betting everything on this Devil who had shown no malice since appearing.
That he wasn't the evil, cunning kind of Devil like in the legends.
Even if she lost the bet, at worst she would beco a Devil, and at least she would gain the power to survive.
"Then, let's begin the Reincarnation Ceremony."
Looking at Jill, Ayato smiled.
An Evil Piece appeared in his hand from thin air.
"This is... chess?" Jill asked with so confusion. "Does a Devil's ceremony need sothing like this?"
"It's just a form. There's complex technology inside."
Ayato spoke. "We just need to place it inside your body, and it will naturally start the ceremony, reincarnating you as a Devil."
"Is that so?"
Jill nodded and asked softly, "But how do we put this thing in?"
She looked down at herself, slightly worried.
'It wouldn't require cutting open first, would it?'
Ayato smiled. "Don't be nervous. I have a lot of experience with this. It's completely painless."
Jill: "..."
The words were fine,
But sohow, they sounded strange.
"Co on, take off your clothes first."
The corner of Jill's mouth twitched.
Combined with his previous words, she felt like she was being teased.
But after a few seconds, she still moved.
No matter what,
She had to continue.
"Do I... need to take off my underclothes too?"
Jill looked at Ayato nervously.
Ayato shook his head. "No need. This is fine."
'Just this?'
Jill breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Although she was sowhat careless, she was still a woman.
But,
She wondered what she should do next?
Looking at the Evil Piece, she began to overthink again.
And then, Ayato pressed the Evil Piece down.
"Mmm..."
Jill's body trembled slightly, her face gradually growing warm.
Their fingers had touched.
They had just t not long ago, yet here they were like this.
For her, the stimulation was a bit too much.
She subconsciously looked down and saw the Evil Piece slowly sinking into her body.
At the sa ti,
Ayato raised his hand and summoned the Boosted Gear.
Hum!
The crimson light and the light of the magic circle shone together, illuminating the entire church in a riot of color.
"Mmm..."
Her body was changing.
It felt like two completely different kinds of power were surging inside.
Moreover, her back and tailbone were really itchy.
Whoosh!
Two pitch-black wings extended from her back.
A heart-shaped tail had slowly ford.
'Wings like theirs?'
Jill was sowhat curious and touched them subconsciously.
Instantly,
Her fair skin turned pink.
"These Devil's wings... are so strange."
She muttered softly, quickly blushing as she retracted both her wings and tail.
Then!
Jill clenched her fists slightly and felt her power, countless tis stronger than before.
"Jill, it's still you, right?"
Seeing this, Alice asked with a hint of concern.
"Don't worry."
Jill smiled. "I'm still . Other than gaining an extra pair of wings and a tail, nothing is different."
"And I feel better than ever."
"Phew."
Hearing this, Alice sighed in relief and put Jill's coat over her shoulders.
"What about you, Alice?"
Ayato turned his head and looked at Alice. "What is your choice?"
Hearing this, Alice fell silent.
Too many things had happened that day.
Her worldview had been reshaped several tis.
And now,
She was being questioned by a Devil from legend.
'But,'
'Perhaps this was an opportunity.'
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she spoke cautiously, "Mr. Devil, although I don't know why you're so interested in ..."
"If I agree to beco a Devil, can you save this city and prevent the virus from spreading further?"
"Of course not. The previous contract was only for to help you deal with those Lickers."
'As expected,'
'Bargaining with a Devil is impossible...'
Alice's face showed a hint of disappointnt, but she was disappointed too soon.
"But if you beco a Devil, I wouldn't refuse a reasonable request from my servant."
Alice's eyes widened. "What's the difference? Isn't it basically the sa?"
"It's very different."
"After all, I am a Devil. I have a sense of contract."
"Is... that so?"
Alice felt sowhat speechless.
But,
Upon learning this, she felt Ayato seed exceptionally good to his servants.
'Maybe becoming his servant wouldn't be so bad.'
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened them again, a look of determination had appeared in her eyes.
"Then, Mr. Devil, please reincarnate as a Devil."
With that, Alice began to take off her outer clothes, leaving only her grayish-white underclothes.
"Okay!"
Nodding, Ayato took out another Evil Piece and placed it in the designated spot.
"So cold!"
Alice's breathing beca much heavier.
She finally understood what Jill had just felt.
"Mmnn..."
The next mont,
Her Devil's wings and tail burst forth from her body.
anwhile,
Ayato was also granting her Subspecies Balance Breaker.
Sensing the subtle changes of the Balance Breaker within Alice, his eyes lit up slightly.
'It seed Jill was also a reinforcent-type Balance Breaker.'
By observing the Subspecies Balance Breakers of so many of his servants...
He was finally starting to grasp so patterns.
Of course,
The specific form of the Balance Breaker was unclear.
After all, that was a matter of personal habit for Alice and the others.
"By the way."
Ayato thought of sothing and spoke. "From now on, I'll call you 'Little Alice'."
"Why?"
Alice was confused. "Is there sothing wrong with my na?"
"Not really. It's just that you share a na with another of my servants. This makes it easier to distinguish you." (T/N: In the RAW, Irisviel's na is written with the sa characters as Alice, which is why Ayato said they're the sa na.)
"Then why isn't she called 'Little Alice'?"
Ayato didn't answer. He just looked down aningfully.
Alice: "..."
