In the inn room.
"So, Nee-san, you became a Devil, which is why you call him Master?"
After listening to Kanae's explanation, Shinobu's eyes widened.
Her expression said, "Are you kidding me?"
"It's true."
Kanae smiled warmly, and a pair of Devil wings unfurled from her back.
"..."
Shinobu was frozen in place, her worldview suffering a tremendous impact.
"Even if it's hard for you to accept right now, it's the truth."
Kanae smiled. "The power you saw earlier also comes from being a Devil."
"Th-That so...?"
Shinobu instinctively reached out and pinched Kanae's Devil wings, murmuring.
"Don't touch them randomly."
Kanae's face flushed, and she pulled her wings away from her sister.
"They're real."
Shinobu looked dazed. "Nee-san... really became a Devil?"
"Mm."
"Did becoming a Devil hurt?"
"No, and it was very fast."
"I see."
Shinobu frowned in thought, then, as if making a certain decision, said seriously, "Then, I want to become a Devil too."
"..."
Kanae was stunned.
'What was happening?'
'Why are my sister's thoughts jumping too fast?'
She asked instinctively, "Shinobu, think carefully. You won't be human anymore after this."
"So what? You're not human anymore either, sister?"
Hearing Shinobu's rhetorical question, Kanae fell silent for a moment.
Well said. She couldn't argue.
And, thinking carefully, Shinobu becoming a Devil would also be a good thing.
After all, she had personally experienced how powerful one could become after becoming a Devil.
At least, if she faced Doma again, he would definitely be the one to die.
And this was only the beginning.
Not to mention, there was also her master's blessing.
This way, no matter what danger Shinobu encountered, she wouldn't have to worry.
And besides that,
She could also see other worlds.
And, she could also live together with her forever.
However, it was a bit complicated.
In the future, she would share a common husband with her sister?
'But if Shinobu's mind was made up...'
She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Are you sure you want to become a Devil?"
"Yes, I'm very sure."
Shinobu nodded vigorously and said firmly, "I've always looked up to you, Nee-san. I can't allow myself to never be able to catch up to you."
"Good!"
Hearing this, Kanae turned to look at Ayato and performed a standard dogeza.
"Master, although my sister's request is very troublesome, I hope you can grant her wish."
A flicker of nervousness appeared in her eyes.
After all,
Whether to accept a servant was entirely up to Master.
Making this request was the most she could do.
Shinobu also looked serious, kneeling on both knees. "Please accept me, Devil-sama."
Seeing this, Ayato's eyes flickered.
To be honest, he hadn't expected it to go this smoothly.
He had intended to take Shinobu as a servant.
But before he could even make a move, she had taken the initiative to come to him.
In this situation, how could he refuse?
But he still said, "Since it's a request from my dear servant, I will agree."
"Thank you, Master."
Hearing Ayato's answer, Kanae breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face.
"Th-Thank you, Master."
Shinobu was even more visibly delighted, even her address had changed.
'Not bad, she had a lot of potential.'
Ayato nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand, and an Evil Piece appeared in it.
"Put this thing into your body, and the Reincarnation Ceremony can begin."
Seeing the Evil Piece, as if thinking of something, Kanae's face flushed.
Shinobu looked up, her eyelids twitching. "Master, how do I put this in?"
'Eating it... it was a bit big, right?'
Ayato said, "First, take off your clothes."
'T-Take off my clothes?'
Shinobu immediately turned red, her pupils contracting sharply.
'This process...'
'Wasn't it a bit improper?'
She instinctively looked at Kanae.
'Had Nee-san... gone through this too?'
'If that was the case, then I could definitely do it too.'
She silently encouraged herself, but grew more and more shy.
After all, taking off her clothes in front of a man was a first for her.
"It's just your outer clothes."
Kanae looked at Ayato reproachfully. "Master sometimes plays these kinds of mean jokes."
She had been tricked by this before too.
"This is my way of getting close to my servants."
Ayato played with the Evil Piece and said seriously, "Alright, let's begin the Reincarnation Ceremony."
"Okay!"
Shinobu breathed a sigh of relief and began to shyly remove her outer clothes, revealing her fair, smooth skin.
Her skin gradually flushed pink.
Even though she didn't have to take off everything,
Even so, it was still too embarrassing in front of a man.
Ayato didn't let her wait long and immediately raised the Evil Piece and placed it down.
Hum!
The light of a magic circle began to slowly appear.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Shinobu was stunned for a moment, then only felt her body temperature rise rapidly, her heart beating like never before.
And also... something seemed... to be welling out.
"Mmnn....."
Shinobu's eyes widened, feeling intense itching in her back and tailbone.
The next moment,
Her Devil wings and tail burst from her body.
"Shinobu has become a Devil too."
Watching this, Kanae showed a gentle smile.
She stepped forward a few steps and draped the outer clothes back over Shinobu.
To this,
Shinobu seemed unaware.
She dazedly clenched her fist.
Now she finally understood why her sister had become so strong.
Her current self was more than ten times stronger than before.
Mitsuri linked arms with Shinobu. "From now on, we're both Master's servants. I'm probably older than you, so I'll be your older sister."
"Mitsuri-nee, please take care of me from now on."
