The contract was ford quite quickly with Beatriz.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have successfully created a [Spirit Contract] with the [Nightmare Demon Princess: Beatriz (SSS Rank)]!]
[Your Starting Affection with Beatriz is of 0/100!]
[A terrible Affection level! Please get to her better side and make her happier to get more bonuses!]
[Currently, your bond is forced, therefore, you can only gain a bit of her powers.]
[Nightmare Essence is coursing through your body, a completely new energy and elent!]
[If you can assimilate enough, you may assimilate the unique power system of this world permanently, and even gain new Stats and Skills.]
As I glanced at the ssages, I realized that there was zero affection! I guess it was to be expected, this girl probably fucking hates , and I won't bla her for that.
But now that this is done, she's mine.
"Uaagggh! Why did I agree to this!"
Beatriz continued complaining as she grabbed her own face and started chasing it with her newly grown body.
"Huh?! My body's back already! What the...?!"
I helped her regenerate it by giving her a lot of my Mana, it seed she assimilated it just fine, and it turned into Nightmare Essence.
So its possible to turn Mana into this Essence... as long as it is first injected into a Nightmare. "I'm back! Hahahaha!"
She resembled a blue-skinned Oni girl, with long white hair, six crimson eyes, and two black horns growing from her forehead.
Though, she was stark naked!
"Hey, get so clothes you pervert!" I said.
"I'm not the pervert here, you just remade my body out of nowhere!" she cried. "But it's nice..."
POOF!
With a swirl of shadow nightmares around her body, Beatriz got her black dress back again, smiling happily at us.
"Heh! Now I finally look like the princess I am!"
She even whisked to reality a black crown over her body.
Nightmares were able to change their body appearance and even grow clothes around their bodies.
But I think Beatriz is even better, as she can shapeshift, its apparently her special Nightmare Ability.
"So what Nightmares do you exactly embody, Beatriz?" I asked. "You're so afraid of death, it's almost laughable... Do you embody people's fears?"
"W-What?! Well! Who wouldn't be afraid of death, idiot?" she sighed. "And... well! I embody the Fears of Rejection, Lack of Self-Esteem, and the Fear people have against their own Appearances. Ugly people that hate themselves, or those that feel like they were born in the wrong body, body dysphoria, and so on! Hehehehe! Scared yet?!"
"Huh, that's tar than I imagined..." said Partner.
"I really thought she would be sothing scarier," said Eraldine.
"Wanna be my friend?" Nyx said, wagging her big dragon tail. "You're like... like a cute demon princess! Do you have dresses for too?"
"I don't want to be the friend of so ugly dragon!" Beatriz angrily said. "And I won't give you any of my wardrove-"
CRASH!
Lucifer's fist ca down towards her faster than I was about to kick her, crushing her like a bug, splattering her body on the ground.
"Don't you dare call my daughter ugly!"
"H-Hyeeeegghh..."
Beatriz gave an agonizing scream, her body was slowly recovering, but she went through quite the pain.
"Daddy! Don't be an! She's our ally now, right? I don't mind!" said Nyx, pouting. "Don't hit my friends!"
"W-What? Your friend?!" Lucifer sighed. "Nyx... what's gotten into you? Why would you want that thing to be your friend?"
"She's not a thing and I think she's just a bit afraid..." Nyx said, angrily. "Right?"
"Uuggh... Don't try to sympathize with , I'm a Nightmare!" Beatriz kept yapping.
"Nyx... I wouldn't recomnd you to try to beco the friend of a Nightmare..." even Celes was trying to convince her otherwise.
"Hmph, I beco friend with whoever I want..." said Nyx. "Also Arachne was also like a big demon monster or sothing, right? But mama turned her into a nice girl and she's my friend
too!"
"We started with the wrong foot but we're friends now, yes," Arachne nodded with a calm smile. "Beatriz! Let's be friends too!"
"Yeeah! Let's be friends!" Nyx nodded.
Nyx and Arachne ran towards Beatriz, dragging Arthur and Celes with them, while helping Beatriz get her body back together.
"S-Stop touching ! I can do this on my own, geez!"
As the Nightmare Demon girl complained, I saw the kids trying to talk with her...
They were surprisingly happy that another "kid" has joined us.
Although she was certainly not in the sa position as them.
Well, my brother didn't like this though.
"Why am I here? I'm not even a kid anymore..." he sighed. "I'm older than I look!"
"Uncle, don't be like that!" Nyx said.
"Hahhh..."
My brother was weak against Nyx, so he ended playing along.
"Ugh, you're all so annoying, stop pestering ! Aaaagghh! Enough... Enough!"
Beatriz groaned in annoyance as the kids were playing with her dress and her hair, she couldn't hurt them due to the contract. She was calling them ugly and stuff but that didn't seem to shake them, they surprisingly had a lot of ntal resilience.
"Are you sure this is fine?" wondered Lucifer, glancing at . "To recruit that monster... She's too evil! Didn't she say she ate your friends in the previous loops? I-I an, the friends of
your character?"
"Yeah... She's not a good person at all," I said. "But that's why I got a leash on her. Now either has to get along, or she's going to die... I believe she'll be necessary for what's to co. Especially as a Nightmare Demon, we could infiltrate or even find out where they live, their
nests, or even their plans."
"Right... I guess I didn't consider that," said Lucifer. "But even then... I don't like this."
"Hm, I do like the decision!" said Jonathan. "I would have done the sa, honestly. Maria, you're a good person. And it shows even now. Beatriz is also useful too, so it's not just a "dumb" act of kindness."
"Yeah!" nodded Eraldine. "I was a bit afraid at first but if she's your contracted spirit, it should be doable... The question is, how do we bring her along? Only in your shadows?"
"Hmm, I got another idea," I smiled. "Beatriz! Co here!"
"W-What now?!" she groaned, her hair was covered with pink ribbons and made into braids
by the girls.
It was hilarious, they were treating her like a doll...
