The night gradually deepened.
Eiko leaned back in her chair, unable to calm down for a long time.
Recalling everything that had happened today...
It was more exciting than a lifetime.
Unconsciously.
She remembered the scene of Ayato bestowing the Blessing.
Thump, thump!
Her heart began to pound violently.
But...
According to Yayoi-chan, the competition among these servants was very fierce.
She... needed to think of a way.
She stroked her chin, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
When it came to competing for favor, what could be more secure than having a dragon child?
No...
It should be a Devil child.
Right!
That was decided.
Without hesitation, Eiko had already sneaked out of her room.
Ayato's Bedroom.
The sound of rustling paper being turned was unending.
[Origin: 2995]
[Origin: 3115]
[Origin: 3225]
Looking at the contents of the document, Ayato's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
This was a report on limiters.
With the investment of large amounts of funds and the efforts of many geniuses, there had finally been some results.
He placed great importance on this research.
After all...
The world he lived in was far too dangerous.
Although every servant was making astonishing progress...
One Satan-level combatant after another was constantly emerging...
To be honest...
Satan-level strength in this world was merely the threshold of being considered a strong person.
Once any major upheaval occurred...
An ordinary Satan was nothing but a background character.
But if they could break their limiters...
That would be completely different.
"However, this is only a preliminary concept. It won't be easy to complete."
Ayato closed the folder and shook his head slightly.
But fortunately...
Judging by the Origin points gained...
At least the research direction was not wrong.
Next...
He just needed to patiently wait.
Thinking of this, Ayato suddenly felt something was off.
"Right, it seems too quiet."
Ayato slapped his fist into his palm.
Based on experience, this situation meant...
Hmm?
Someone was coming after all.
Ayato turned around and saw Eiko walking in.
"M-master, hello."
Feeling Ayato's unabashed gaze, Eiko's cheeks flushed red.
After becoming a Devil...
All her senses were incredibly sharp.
So even though she was proactively offering herself, she couldn't help but feel shy.
"Eiko, what's the matter?"
Ayato put down the folder, a smile playing on his lips. "Is there something about servant knowledge you don't understand?"
Eiko said quietly, "Mm, there is indeed something."
"Oh?" Ayato smiled faintly. "What is it about? Martial arts, magic, or other knowledge?"
"Well, actually..." Eiko trailed off.
She hadn't really read much of that magic book yet.
Her mind had been full of thoughts about the Blessing.
Right, she had almost forgotten about the Blessing.
She took a deep breath and quickly said, "Master, I accidentally used up my Blessing just now."
"So please grant it to me again."
"So that's it. This is indeed a serious matter."
Ayato stood up seriously. "Blessings are the most important line of defense protecting you."
"They cannot be taken lightly."
"Exactly."
Eiko nodded heavily, then threw herself into Ayato.
Since she had decided...
She couldn't hesitate.
Ayato was caught off guard and startled.
Good grief!
So fierce?
He had been about to make his move.
But soon.
Ayato burst out laughing.
Because Eiko had somehow already closed her eyes, standing there at a loss.
Well.
So she was just a weakling.
The next moment.
Ayato lowered his head.
At the same time.
Hana sneaked out of her room.
A new member had joined again today. She had to act quickly.
She looked at her battle suit, feeling a bit chilly.
Heh heh.
She would definitely captivate Master.
Listening carefully, there was nothing unusual.
Mm, mm.
It seemed Seiko and the others had received her warning.
Creak.
Just then, Yukino pushed open her door, her bunny ears clearly visible.
Instantly, the air froze.
Yukino and Hana looked at each other, both of their eyelids twitching.
Great.
It seemed they weren't the only ones with the same idea.
"Let me have this time." x2.
"Why should I give way to you?" x2.
"Glare." x2.
The two stared at each other, the atmosphere already frozen.
But soon...
Indescribable sounds came from afar.
"..." x2.
In this moment, silence was deafening.
