Just as Natsuki was battling within herself, Abel released her face.
He leaned close to her and asked, "What are your concerns? This Prison Barrier?"
Natsuki turned to look at the prison behind her. "Yes, I am the gatekeeper of this prison. This area requires my constant sealing to ensure that the guys inside don't escape."
Abel's lips curved slightly upwards.
Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, and several other pantheons had signed peace treaties.
So, the things in front of them were completely unnecessary.
As for those guys already in the prison, they could be completely ignored, and even allowed to die in the spatial turbulence.
"This is very simple, I can solve it. However, before dealing with the prison issue, first answer the previous question: are you willing to join my Peerage?"
Natsuki's heart wavered. "What if I'm not willing?"
Abel's lips curved into a playful smile. "If you're not willing, I won't force you. After all, I'm not some bad devil. However, your soul is still in my hands, and I can't guarantee when an accident might happen."
Natsuki's expression changed slightly. She naturally knew the danger of having her soul in someone else's hands.
But to join Abel's Peerage so easily... she was a bit unwilling.
Just then, Abel leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, "Join my Peerage, become a devil, and you won't have to guard this place. What's more, you can get your soul back. Why not?"
"Or do I have to order you as a Campione?"
Natsuki felt a little helpless. The words were so clear. If she still didn't understand, she would be a fool.
She took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to join your Peerage."
Abel showed a satisfied smile. "Very good."
He clenched his hand and a parchment scroll appeared in his grasp. Then the scroll spontaneously combusted. A ray of light shot into Natsuki's body, and Natsuki felt her soul tremble. She knew her soul had returned to her body.
The soul issue was resolved, now for the Prison Barrier.
Abel walked towards the Prison Barrier and extended a hand. As demonic power surged, light flashed on the barrier, which began to gradually dissipate.
The prisoners inside felt the change in the barrier and were about to roar with joy, but then realized something was wrong. Distorting power swept through their bodies. Without even a scream, they dissipated along with the entire prison.
After a while, the barrier completely disappeared. Along with it, all the prisoners inside vanished.
Watching this scene, Natsuki was stunned. At this moment, her body glowed, and her figure grew. Due to the return of her soul and the termination of the contract, her previously stunted body began to grow.
Abel, having completed everything, turned back and was slightly taken aback.
The previously small Natsuki had transformed into an adult. At the same time, due to her body's growth, her dress tore, revealing a magnificent scenery.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nice figure." Abel gave an objective evaluation.
Natsuki realized something was amiss. She looked down and saw her clothes were torn.
However, she didn't panic. Instead, she leaned closer to Abel, looked up into his eyes, and asked, "Is it good to look at?"
Abel nodded. "It's alright. I thought you'd be shy."
Natsuki's lips curved upwards. "Shy? What's there to be shy about? In front of the Devil King, I have nothing to hide."
With that, magic power flowed around her, and a brand new set of clothes appeared on her body.
The Devil Reincarnation Disk appeared behind Abel.
"Then the next step is to reincarnate as a devil."
...
A moment later, the office door was pushed open.
Natsuki, who had completed her reincarnation with a Queen piece, and Abel walked out.
In everyone's eyes, Natsuki was still in her small form. After all, everyone was already used to it. If she appeared as an adult, the students would freak out.
"Abel, where did you go just now?" Avrora walked over and hugged Abel's arm. "I couldn't feel your aura just now."
Not long after she had gone out, she noticed that both Abel and Natsuki were gone.
Her gaze fell on Natsuki and she was slightly startled. The feeling she gave her was completely different.
"You... give me a different feeling."
The current Natsuki appeared as a whole in Avrora's eyes, whereas before she felt something was missing.
"Mm. The me now is the real me." Natsuki said with a smile.
Abel briefly told Avrora what had just happened.
Avrora's eyes sparkled after listening. "I see, so now you are a devil."
Natsuki nodded. "That's right. Alright, get ready to experience school life, Fourth Primogenitor."
...
"Have you heard? Two transfer students arrived today."
"I knew already. I saw them when I came to school. A boy and a girl. They are both very good-looking."
"Really?"
"I hope they come to our class."
At this moment, both boys and girls were discussing Abel and Avrora.
Asagi and Nagisa were also chatting in low voices.
"Asagi-chan, which class do you think they'll go to?"
"Well…"
Asagi thought for a moment, then glanced at Yukina before saying to Nagisa, "I feel like they'll probably be in our class."
Just then, the classroom door was pushed open.
Natsuki walked onto the podium, followed by Abel and Avrora, who walked up one after the other.
Natsuki scanned the room, then spoke, "Today we have one exchange student and one new classmate. Everyone, please welcome them."
Asagi looked at Abel, and their eyes met by chance.
Abel nodded at her.
Asagi quickly realized that she had probably entered the King's sight.
Asagi's true identity was the Priestess of Cain. Because Itogami Island itself was like Cain's altar, as long as Asagi was on Itogami Island, she was unkillable.
She was also the Cyber Empress who controlled the entire management system of Itogami Island.
Withdrawing his gaze, Abel began his self-introduction, "I am Abel. Please take care of me."
Avrora said, hands on her hips, "You shall remember my great name. I am Avrora Florestina."
After they had taken their seats, Natsuki said, "Class begins now."
—
Time passed bit by bit and soon it was dismissal time.
At this moment, Abel stood alone on the highest building of the school. He had subtly sent away a certain diligent guardian and the Fourth Primogenitor who wanted to suck his blood. Currently, he was all alone.
'Beautiful girls are good, but having some time to myself is quite nice.'
Just then, he sensed someone was peeking at him. He turned his head and looked towards a camera.
Asagi, who was observing through surveillance, was startled by that gaze.
She… was discovered?
"Mogwai."
"What's wrong?"
"I feel… I've been exposed."
Mogwai wanted to roll his eyes, while his mind went into a frenzy of complaints.
'You don't even look at who you're observing. If you're not discovered, who will be discovered?'
But complaining aside, he still had to comfort his programmer.
"No need to feel, you've already been exposed. As for whether he'll come looking for you, that depends on the King's magnanimity."
"Is that so… I hope he'll be magnanimous."
Just as Asagi was praying, her words had already reached Abel's ears.
"What a bold Cyber Empress, interesting."
Abel said, a smile on his lips.
He raised his hand and flicked his finger. Since she peeked at his magnificent handsome face, then the little one needed a good lesson. After that, she would obediently let Avrora suck her blood, awaken a Familiar, and become one of the twelve dowry brides.
But for now…
Of course, he would continue to wander around.
Meanwhile, in front of the monitor, Asagi suddenly clutched her head as a wave of pain struck her. It felt as if someone had flicked her forehead.
"Ah, it hurts! What's going on?" Asagi clutched her head.
Mogwai was also startled by her reaction. "Why such a sudden strong reaction?"
Asagi made a bitter face. "It's like someone flicked my forehead."
