Erica watched this Goddess of the Earth, whose expression kept changing, a smile touching her lips.
She knew…
Everything the King said was true.
Whether this Goddess of the Earth agreed or not, the King would never force her, given his nature.
But this Goddess of the Earth didn't know that.
Most importantly.
With Susano'o's fate fresh in mind...
How could this Goddess of the Earth believe him?
But,
To help her King, she felt she needed to add fuel to the fire.
"Miss Sita, you don't need to worry."
Erica deliberately altered her tone slightly. "Our King's credibility is guaranteed. He won't make things difficult for you, whether you agree or not."
Sita: "..."
'A threat, right?'
'This was definitely a threat, right?'
The corner of Sita's mouth twitched. She kept complaining in her mind.
But she also knew...
She didn't seem to have many choices.
No matter how she looked at it, this King had set his sights on her.
In this situation...
It was better to agree readily and earn so favorability.
Taking a deep breath, Sita perford an ancient bow and said softly, "I am honored by the King of the Campiones' regard."
"Not bad. Very clever."
Hearing this, Ayato gave Erica a look.
"Serving the King is my duty."
Erica returned a look.
On the other side, Kaoru watched this scene with mixed feelings.
'This King really had eclectic tastes.'
From what she knew...
His followers now included an Angel, a Heretic God, a Holy Sword wielder, Hi-Mikos, a great knight, a nun, a sorcerer...
And now, a Goddess of the Earth.
It's as if he was collecting all possible cards.
Thinking that he seed to have his eye on her too...
Her pretty face flushed.
'Would I fall one day too?'
'Wait, what was I thinking?'
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Kaoru slapped her forehead repeatedly.
"???"
Ayato looked surprised.
'What was wrong with this woman?'
'Was she overthinking too?'
Shaking his head, Ayato stopped dwelling on it. He flipped his hand and took out an Evil Piece.
"Since you've made your decision, let's begin the Reincarnation Ceremony."
"This is... an Evil Piece?"
Sita blinked, hesitated, and said, "King of the Campiones, forgive for speaking frankly. Even if I reincarnate as a Devil, my strength won't change."
"So this Reincarnation Ceremony is completely unnecessary."
"Not quite."
Ayato smiled. "I don't care about your strength increasing. But becoming my servant is proof that you are mine."
"You don't have any objections, do you?"
"Since the King says so, I have no problem."
Sita said ekly. "But how is the Reincarnation Ceremony perford?"
Ayato casually set up a barrier and said gently, "Simple. First, take off your clothes."
On the other side, Kaoru's eyelids twitched reflexively.
'This King sure have a very peculiar sense of humor.'
"Hmm? Eh?"
Sita was completely confused, her pretty face as red as an apple.
'What was happening?'
'Was this King that hungry?'
'Wasn't he surrounded by so many beautiful girls?'
'He set up a barrier just to... eat ?'
'But,'
'This is my first ti.'
'Wasn't this place too... hasty?'
Her mind in turmoil, she began to panic, flailing her hands.
Ena looked at her strangely.
'Well, another one who misunderstood like I did.'
But this was the King's will. She couldn't exactly expose it.
"Oh my, Miss Sita, don't overthink it."
Just then, Erica finally spoke teasingly. "Actually, you only need to take off your outer clothes."
"Ah?"
Sita instantly turned red.
Then she recalled her recent behavior was utterly embarrassing.
'This is social death.'
She closed her eyes and took deep, ragged breaths.
After a long while, Sita finally cald down.
"I'm sorry. I lost my composure."
Sita raised her hands and began to move.
Soon, she was left in only her ancient undergarnts.
She held her outer clothes against her chest, blocking so mystery, her face beginning to flush again.
"Now... is it alright?"
Sita's gaze darted away as she spoke softly.
Although this was far better than what she had initially imagined...
Being like this in front of a man she had just t was still far too shaful.
Ayato looked her over and said helplessly, "Your arms are too high."
"...Oh."
Sita took a breath and slowly lowered her arms slightly.
Seeing this, Ayato didn't hesitate. He pressed the Evil Piece down.
If he teased her further, he was afraid she might faint.
"Mmnn..."
Sita's eyelids twitched. She watched the Evil Piece slowly sink into her body.
'What an amazing technology.'
Feeling the changes within herself, Sita couldn't help but marvel.
'After millennia of being trapped...'
'So many had surpassed .'
And then,
Ayato raised his right hand and summoned the Boosted Gear Gauntlet.
Hum!
A red light flashed. A crimson tendril slowly entered Sita's body.
"This is... a Longinus?"
Sita's pupils dilated. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
'He even had this.'
'It seems the King I was about to follow is truly remarkable.'
Thinking this...
She didn't really mind becoming a Devil anymore.
'Hmm, why did it feel drafty?'
Sita was stunned. She realized this and hurriedly put her outer clothes back on.
"Not only the Longinus,"
Ayato walked forward and smiled. "There are other rewards too."
"Other rewards...?"
Sita was stunned.
Before she could react, she found the ruby-like eyes getting closer and closer.
'Wasn't this reward a bit strange?'
"Mmpphh..."
The next mont, her eyes widened.
Pink spread across her fair skin.
'So, this is the granting of the Blessing.'
Her mind gradually went blank.
