Although Mirei, Shirley, and Euphemia were all new Dependents, compared to Mirei, Shirley clearly had not experienced the storms.
Because of this, Alex had to choose to coach Mirei and Euphemia while deeply teaching Shirley.
Just like Alex's experience, as soon as he calmed down, he encountered a difficult hurdle that had to be overcome.
Looking at the red rose drawn by Shirley, the familiar yet strange sense of oppression made him nod slightly.
Shirley gasped, her arms exerting force continuously, as if she were about to fall into suffocation.
"You are a demon now, do not underestimate your limits."
Alex smiled, encouraging her softly.
Shirley was good at everything, except for her habit of being timid, which would flare up from time to time.
Now that it had just begun, how could she give up halfway?
One burst of energy, then decline, then exhaustion—this had always been his teaching philosophy.
If it couldn't be deeply ingrained in the mind, then it would eventually just be rootless duckweed.
"Don't worry, you'll be able to level up soon."
Alex offered a word of comfort and began to get truly serious, continuously pouring knowledge into her brain.
Instantly.
Shirley seemed to be struck by a Lightning Strike, as if she had seen the truth of the demonic path and touched upon transcendent mysteries.
"Has my magic power increased by so many times?"
Shirley's eyes widened, feeling a bit dazed, but in the end, everything transformed into Alex's towering figure.
Like a sponge, she continuously absorbed and devoured the endless stream of knowledge.
By the end, it was as if she had broken through her limits time and time again.
"So this is how we were in the beginning?" × 2.
A flash of terror flickered in the eyes of Euphemia and Mirei.
From the perspective of a bystander.
It was like watching someone drowning, continuously swallowing seawater.
As if they wanted to drink the entire ocean dry.
But soon!
They were no longer able to let their minds wander.
The surging magic power left them without the slightest strength to resist.
Alex, approaching slowly, was like a deity residing in a divine kingdom, controlling everything.
As the vast pressure descended, Euphemia and Mirei could only passively put up a struggle.
When sisters are of one mind, their strength can cut through metal.
But the cold reality knocked them so hard they couldn't tell north from south.
They were merely Middle-Class Devils.
Let alone two, even ten of them couldn't cause Alex any trouble.
Due to the vast gap in strength, in less than a minute, they had collapsed in tears one after another.
By the end, like a glutton who had eaten their fill, they lay on the ground, on the verge of collapse.
Gulp!
Seeing this scene, Shirley, who had barely managed to regain her senses, took a deep breath.
She finally realized that the Master had shown mercy before.
Noticing Shirley's terrified expression, Alex simply waved his hand.
"Alright, go ahead and clean this place up."
"Understood, Master."
Shirley nodded immediately and began to clean up carefully.
When it came to housekeeping, she was truly a little expert.
As for Euphemia and Mirei, it was fine to just pile them to the side for now.
Since they were all devils anyway, there was no need to worry about them catching a cold.
Alex sat to one side and stretched leisurely.
[experience 1009] [experience 1115] [experience 1221]
Looking at the text information that appeared, the corners of Alex's mouth curled up slightly.
The growth in experience, combined with the efforts of the past few days, had finally spent most of his energy, leaving him feeling exceptionally refreshed.
"By the way, Master, there is something I would like to ask you about."
Shirley, having changed a bedsheet, suddenly thought of something and spoke with some hesitation.
"Tell me about it."
"Master, I wonder if you are able to cure blindness or help someone with injured legs stand up?"
Hearing Shirley's words, Mirei, as if experiencing a burst of renewed vitality, also looked toward Alex.
How could they have forgotten about this?
Human technology had no solution.
But if it were the Master, that might not be the case.
Perhaps! It might even be possible to cure Nunnally.
"Of course, it is possible."
Hearing Alex's words, Shirley and Mirei became excited at the same time.
"However, we are devils, and if you want to fulfill a wish, you must pay a price."
"..." × 2.
Shirley and Mirei's bodies stiffened simultaneously.
They looked at each other and saw a subtle expression in each other's eyes.
As for Nunnally, she should qualify, right?
However! It always felt like their behavior was strange.
By then, they would truly be good sisters for a lifetime.
That night! Ashford Academy. In the dormitory.
Nunnally clutched her skirt tightly with both hands, already surprisingly nervous.
Just a moment ago, she had received contact from Shirley, saying that she could heal her body.
All of this made her uncontrollably excited.
But at the same time, she was still afraid that all of this was just false hope.
"Miss Nunnally, don't be nervous. Believe that Miss Shirley would not lie."
Sensing Nunnally's emotions, Shinozaki Sakiyo, dressed in a maid outfit, comforted her softly.
"Mm." Nunnally smiled faintly.
Creak—
The door was pushed open, and Shirley and Mirei walked in.
"Shirley, Mirei, what exactly is the method?"
Hearing the familiar footsteps, Nunnally asked hurriedly.
"Miss Nunnally, I will go prepare tea and snacks for Miss Shirley and Miss Mirei."
Shinozaki Sakiyo bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Seeing Shinozaki Sakiyo close the door, Mirei was silent for a moment before saying: "Nunnally, do you... believe in devils?"
"Uh..."
Nunnally was a bit confused. Her eye condition was not congenital. She loved reading books when she was young, so she was very clear that things like devils were just fabricated legends.
However... Mirei's tone was so serious.
"Mirei, you don't mean to tell me that the way for me to recover is to make a wish to a devil, right?"
Shirley nodded: "That's exactly it."
Nunnally: "..."
Shirley's tone was also so serious. It didn't look like she was lying at all.
So... devils really exist in this world.
Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem impossible.
After all, when she was very young, she had already lost the qualification to face this world directly.
Nunnally pondered for a moment and said: "Can you tell me about it in detail?"
Ah... she accepted it so easily?
Shirley and Mirei looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Nunnally's ability to accept things was much stronger than theirs.
"Actually, this matter started a few days ago..."
Mirei organized her thoughts and began to explain.
A while later! Nunnally muttered to herself in a daze.
"So, Mirei and Shirley, you two are no longer human?"
Her tone was somewhat complicated. She didn't expect that such a thing could happen.
"Yes, the Master said he could cure you, I wonder what you think?"
Shirley and Mirei looked at Nunnally simultaneously.
"If my wish is fulfilled, will I also become a devil?"
"That is likely."
Although in their hearts, they very much hoped that Nunnally would recover, bidding farewell to her human identity was such a big deal. They could only respect Nunnally's wishes.
Nunnally fell into silence.
However, she soon nodded.
She wanted to see this world, and she wanted to stand up and walk normally.
Since both Shirley and Mirei were demons.
It wouldn't matter if she became a demon, would it?
