"It's amazing, the chess piece really went in."
Momo was dumbfounded, feeling a sense of absurdity.
At first!
She thought Ayato was teasing her again.
What did a Devil Reincarnation Ceremony have to do with chess pieces?
But now it seed, he hadn't lied.
However, she soon didn't have the energy to overthink.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
She could clearly hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
It felt like her blood, bones, muscles, and veins were all undergoing fundantal changes.
"So itchy..."
Momo gritted her teeth slightly. "Sothing... is growing."
She couldn't hold back any longer and just let it grow naturally.
Whoosh!
The next mont, a pair of black Devil's wings burst from her body.
A small, heart-shaped tail also erged from her tailbone.
Boom!
At the sa ti,
An invisible shockwave spread outwards from her in all directions.
"Oh?"
Ayato's eyes flickered. A gentle breeze swirled around them, containing all the force.
After all, this is his house.
It wouldn't be good if it got destroyed.
"What... is this?"
Looking at her own hands, Momo's eyes sparkled.
"Congratulations. You've successfully reincarnated as a Devil and awakened the Ki within you."
Ayato explained. "Its power is not weak. For a Low-Class Devil, you're already quite strong."
"I see. How do I compare to you?"
"You're not thinking of hitting , are you?"
Ayato looked amused. "And shouldn't you change how you address ?"
"I wouldn't hit my savior, no matter what."
Momo hesitated for a mont, then said softly, "Master, how do I compare to you?"
Utaha smiled. "If you really want to compare... it's like an ant versus a dragon."
"The gap is that big?"
"I'm not finished. You, the ant, are still unborn."
Momo: "..."
'This senpai...'
'She feels a bit sharp-tongued.'
Ignoring their conversation, Ayato raised his hand and summoned the Boosted Gear Gauntlet.
Hum!
A faint light appeared.
Then, a red tendril drilled into Momo's body.
"What is this?" Momo asked curiously.
"Subspecies Balance Breaker." Xenovia explained. "You can think of it as a type of Sacred Gear."
"Master, you even have sothing like that?"
Momo felt a bit dazed.
'This new master of mine seed... quite extraordinary.'
"By the way, Master, you should go find Asia."
Xenovia suddenly spoke.
Irina agreed. "Yeah, Asia has been waiting for you for a long ti."
"Co to think of it, I haven't seen Asia."
Ayato raised an eyebrow and gave an instruction. "You all teach her the basics."
With that, Ayato headed upstairs.
"Asia, I'm here."
"Mm."
Ayato walked in and paused.
Asia stood there in her nun's habit, looking nervous.
At this ti,
A look of understanding appeared on Ayato's face.
'So that's why Xenovia and the others had been acting strangely. They were helping Asia.'
However,
He really hadn't expected Asia to be so bold.
All he could say was...
'Well done, you two wonderful teachers.'
Without hesitation, Ayato walked forward.
Looking into Ayato's ruby-like eyes, Asia's body trembled slightly.
Even though she had ntally prepared herself, she was still very nervous.
"Relax. Don't be so tense."
Ayato gently stroked Asia's hair, comforting her. "I know what you want for your reward now."
Hearing Ayato's words, Asia's cheeks flushed, and she looked down, whispering, "Mm, Ayato-san."
"Then, I'll teach you the new magic I just acquired."
"O-okay..."
…
Downstairs,
Momo, who is flipping through a basic magic book, found her gaze growing unfocused and distracted.
She looked at the others. "Don't you... hear the sounds from upstairs?"
"Is there a problem?" xN
'There was a huge problem!'
She had no experience, but she wasn't stupid.
'But these Senpais... why were they acting like nothing was happening?'
'Right!'
'Master had said this was his harem.'
'Was that actually true?'
'Wasn't that too absurd?'
Elsewhere, Liliana was scribbling furiously in a small notebook, her skin slightly flushed.
"Material, it's all material."
Erica said languidly, "Is it really okay for you to just theorize like this?"
"You she-fox, what do you know? This is art."
"I've already figured it out. The pure love between a holy nun and a Devil from the underworld. I'm sure it will be a bestseller."
"Yeah, you're not even as good as Asia. You can only learn from her experience."
"She-fox, what are you saying?"
Liliana's face turned red. "I just haven't acted yet. If I did... if I did..."
Her voice grew softer and softer.
"It seems you know you're only good at theorizing."
Erica smiled approvingly. "Then you're not hopeless."
As Ayato's servant, and Liliana's childhood friend...
She felt it was her duty to help her take that step.
Liliana's eyes flickered. "Hmph, I can do it."
"Then, shall I help you?"
"Don't worry, I'm no weaker than Utaha or Xenovia."
Liliana was silent for a mont, but didn't refuse.
A long ti ago,
She had wanted to act.
But if even Asia didn't have a chance, how could she?
Momo: "..."
'Do you all know what you're saying?'
'What kind of group of servants had I joined?'
'Would I... be 'eaten' one day too?'
'No way!'
'Impossible!'
'Absolutely impossible!'
"What is that girl thinking?"
"Probably doesn't want to join the club?"
"Truly, a naive child."
Watching this, Utaha and the others all squinted, showing aningful smiles.
Since they were all Master's wings, the ending was already decided.
It was only a matter of ti.
