After agreeing,
Kanae's eyes did not waver in the slightest.
Not to mention Ayato's life-saving grace,
Even just the power to kill Muzan,
Anyone in the Demon Slayer Corps would be unable to refuse such a request.
As for whether it was a lie,
She had no doubt at all.
The power to instantly kill Doma and control lightning was beyond her imagination.
"Good, then from now on, you are my possession."
The corners of Ayato's mouth curved into a smile.
To be honest,
He hadn't expected it to go this smoothly.
It could only be said that Kanae's personality was truly wonderful.
If he could encounter more girls like this in the future, that would be great.
"Then, what should I do next?"
Kanae asked nervously.
'The process of turning a person into a Devil... wouldn't be too bloody, would it?'
"Very simple."
Ayato raised his hand, and an Evil Piece appeared. "Take off your clothes."
Kanae: "???"
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
This was a development she had never imagined.
'To become a Devil, I had to take off my clothes?'
'Did the ceremony require me to offer myself?'
She wanted to ask, but in the end, Kanae gently shook her head.
'I had already asked too many questions.'
'It was truly too rude to Mr. Devil.'
'Compared to a life-saving grace and the power to destroy Muzan,'
'Offering myself, and to Mr. Devil...'
Mitsuri pointed at herself. "Actually, you only need to remove your outer clothes. Then Master will place the piece right here."
"..."
Kanae's face instantly flushed crimson, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
'What nonsensical things had I been thinking?'
After a moment, adjusting her emotions, Kanae finally began to move.
A few seconds later, holding her outer clothes, she asked, "N-Next...?"
Ayato nodded. "That's it. Just leave the rest to me."
'That was it?'
Kanae's face grew even redder.
'I had just misunderstood Mr. Devil so badly. I really shouldn't have.'
Just as she thought this, she felt a chill.
"Mmnn....."
Kanae bit her lip slightly, feeling her breathing grow heavy.
Thump! Thump!
The sound of her heartbeat grew more intense the moment the Evil Piece entered her body.
What bothered her most was that her body was growing stronger at an inconceivable speed.
"Th-This is..."
Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Wings... and a tail?"
The moment her voice fell,
The skin on her back writhed rapidly, and a pair of black Devil wings burst out.
Then,
A Devil's tail with a heart-shaped tip also emerged and flicked directly into Ayato's hand.
Since it had come to him, Ayato casually began to knead it.
"Iyaaaahh!"
Kanae's body trembled, and she nearly fell to the ground.
Her eyes instantly became dazed.
"Come to think of it, that's how I was too."
Mitsuri thought back to that earlier scene, the tips of her ears reddening.
'Just the hot spring had been like that.'
'If Master grabbed my tail...'
She bit her lip, also letting her tail emerge and extending it toward Ayato.
'Very proactive?'
Ayato gave her an appreciative glance and also grabbed the tail.
"Mmnn....."
Mitsuri's body shuddered, almost completely covered in pink.
Her thighs gently rubbed together.
Seeing this, Ayato began to speed up.
As an innocent bystander, Kanae was already glowing red.
'No!'
'If this continued, I would really lose myself.'
Sensing this, Ayato also let go of the tails.
Released from the restraint, Kanae immediately tucked her tail and wings back in.
Mitsuri, on the other hand, looked at Ayato with somewhat reproachful eyes.
'There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.'
Returning that look, Ayato handed a book to Kanae.
Ayato's Servant Basic Knowledge 3.0.
"What's this?"
Kanae took it instinctively, her expression puzzled.
"It contains many practical techniques."
Ayato spoke. "For you, besides teleportation magic, I suggest you focus on page sixteen."
His servant knowledge book was already on its third edition.
Each revision added a great deal of content.
And page sixteen was about the application of magic power for swordsmen.
Hearing this, Kanae turned to page sixteen.
The moment she looked,
Her pupils contracted sharply.
'Cutting through a river with a magical slash... could such a thing really be done?'
Ayato saw the shock in her eyes and smiled. "That level is still a long way off for you, but it will happen eventually."
"After all, you are my servant."
Kanae was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
'Yes!'
'I am no longer an ordinary human.'
'The power that ordinary people could hardly imagine no longer applied to me.'
"By the way,"
Ayato suddenly said. "Actually, you can achieve that kind of power right now."
"Hmm?"
"After all, you still have my blessing."
Before Kanae could react, she saw Ayato's ruby-red eyes getting closer and closer.
'Wait, too close.'
'And what was "blessing" exactly?'
"Mmpphh....."
Her eyes widened, and she was completely flushed.
But, some kind of power seemed to be surging.
On the other side…
So... so jealous.
Mitsuri watched this scene, her cheeks slightly flushed, her body feeling terribly hot.
Although she had also received the blessing,
But indeed,
Once wasn't enough.
A moment later,
Kanae dizzily moved away from Ayato.
Her eyes were confused, but more dazed.
As if she were still immersed in the feeling just now.
After a long while,
She snapped back to reality, her body trembling.
'Wha-Wha-Wha-What just happened?'
Her heart was pounding so fast!
'Had I given my first kiss to Master?'
She instinctively looked at Ayato, feeling her mind go blank.
