[Origin +3]
'I'm getting fewer and fewer Origin Points.'
Inside the palace of the Imperial Capital, Ayato closed the book before him and shook his head gently.
Although this world could provide a continuous source of resources, the development of supernatural knowledge also took time.
"Don't worry, Master. Those remote nations will be conquered soon. There should be gains."
Esdeath stepped forward, her ice-blue eyes fixed on Ayato.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Ayato stroked her hair and smiled. "What reward do you want?"
Esdeath didn't speak, just narrowed her eyes like a content kitten.
Seeing this, Ayato raised her chin with one hand.
...
Esdeath was a master of the blade.
A good blade required constant maintenance.
And Ayato's interest in this area was no less than his interest in magic.
Their discussions complemented each other perfectly.
Najenda had just reached the palace gates when she heard Ayato had returned, but she immediately stepped back.
"I can still hear the sounds."
Leaning against a pillar, remembering what she had just glimpsed, Najenda's eyes grew misty.
She looked down, gently closed her eyes, and her legs began to tremble slightly.
Before she knew it,
Rain began to pour from the sky.
...
The next day!
Early morning.
"Boss, didn't you sleep well?"
Akame looked at Najenda's dark circles and blinked.
"I told you, don't call me Boss anymore. I'm not the leader of Night Raid anymore."
Najenda's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at Akame. "Are you here to see Master?"
"Yes!"
Akame pointed to her sister Kurome following behind her. "More precisely, to bring her to see Master."
After the Empire changed hands, the conflict between Akame and Kurome had naturally vanished.
"Ah, she's your sister."
Najenda nodded in understanding. "Does she have some business?"
Even as she said this, Najenda knew.
'It seemed someone else was about to be thoroughly devoured by Master.'
"I have a request for Master."
Akame didn't explain further, just said that and pulled Kurome into the palace.
'So I was about to meet that Devil-sama?'
Kurome thought as she followed behind Akame.
Considerable time had passed since she and Akame were reunited.
So she had truly come to understand what kind of being this great figure who truly controlled the Empire was.
A Devil!
This legendary, mythical creature actually existed.
At first, she found it unbelievable.
But after seeing Akame's Devil Transformation, she believed it.
Most importantly, her sister had become so much stronger.
Then,
She was tempted.
If she became a Devil, could she escape the effects of the drugs?
Most importantly, if she became a Devil, she could stay with her sister forever, right?
And now,
That Devil-sama had finally returned.
That's why her sister had brought her here.
No matter what, she had to move the Devil-sama.
She thought this, her eyes filled with determination.
Meanwhile,
Ayato stretched lazily, extricating himself from Esdeath's embrace.
He was just about to enjoy the already prepared breakfast when he saw Akame and her sister approaching.
"Devil-sama, I wish to become your servant."
Before Ayato could speak, Kurome had already knelt on one knee.
'It's her.'
Looking at Kurome, a look of understanding appeared on Ayato's face.
"Master, I hope you will grant Kurome this opportunity."
Akame likewise knelt on one knee. "Kurome is strong. She can become Master's sword too."
She didn't want to be forced to fight Kurome to the death anymore.
Akame also didn't want to be separated from her for any reason.
"Since it's a request from my servant."
Ayato smiled and nodded to Kurome. "I can agree to it."
"Really?"
A flash of wild joy appeared in Kurome's usually indifferent eyes.
"But you must understand, once you become a Devil, it means your body, mind, and even your soul belong to me."
Ayato said seriously. "From then on, there is no possibility of backing out."
"I accept."
Kurome looked up, meeting his ruby-like eyes.
Then,
Her pretty face flushed slightly.
She hadn't noticed before, but this Devil-sama was as handsome as the rumors said.
That made her even less resistant.
Ayato took out a Pawn Piece and spoke. "Then let's begin. The Devil Reincarnation ceremony."
"Okay!"
Kurome took a breath, but grew somewhat nervous.
'Becoming a Devil?'
'What exactly needed to be done?'
Akame reminded from the side. "Kurome, you need to take off your clothes..."
Before she could finish, Kurome had already decisively put it into action.
Though she didn't know why she needed to undress,
She was best at following orders without question.
Almost instantly!
Her top was done, and she started on her lower garments.
"Wait!"
Akame quickly said. "That's enough."
Her sister moved too fast.
She hadn't even finished speaking.
"Oh."
Kurome stopped her movements. Her expression remained composed, but her skin trembled slightly.
Though her actions were quick and decisive, exposing herself to a man like this was still very embarrassing.
'What a shame.'
A flicker of disappointment passed through Ayato's eyes, then he said, "I'm going to begin."
"Devil-sama, do it."
"Mmmhh..."
Kurome bit her lip lightly, feeling the Evil Piece completely merge into her body.
'What a strange feeling... Something is surging inside?'
Thinking this, Kurome's breathing grew rapid.
On the other side,
Mine and Sheele, who had come to find Leone, happened to be passing by and saw this scene.
For a moment, both were stunned, and Mine immediately turned bright red.
"H-How shameless."
Mine stammered. "What are they doing?"
Sheele mumbled, "It looks like... a Devil Reincarnation ceremony?"
"How would I know?"
Mine's eyes widened. "Who told you that?"
"Once, Leone got drunk and said a lot of things."
