However, before they could think, Shindai Aiyi made her own decision.
"I'm willing. As long as… the bride's curse on me can be removed, I'll do anything!"
"Aiyi, no… maybe think about it again?~"
Baoyue Yongzi said in surprise.
"No need, Sister Yongzi, I really don't want to be harassed by that Evil God every night. I'm afraid if I continue like this, I'll have a mental breakdown before I even turn twenty."
"And… anyone who stays with me will suffer misfortune. My brother died because he was with me. Sister Yongzi and Little Xiaoxiao are so kind, I… I don't want to see you end up like my brother."
Shindai Aiyi's voice choked up slightly.
She had actually been driven out by her family.
However, at that time, her brother chased after her and took care of her.
So, Shindai Aiyi had been very happy during that period.
But good times didn't last.
Her brother died accidentally right before her eyes.
He was crushed by falling construction materials.
Since then, Shindai Aiyi had lived alone.
And every now and then, she would see the shadow of that Evil God in her dreams, and images of herself being sacrificed, disemboweled, and bleeding profusely.
Shindai Aiyi was certain that if she became the Evil God's bride, she would suffer the same fate as in her dreams.
This was too cruel for a girl who was only fifteen years old.
Baoyue Xiaoxiao fell silent.
Rosen, however, maintained his smile.
"In that case, sign the contract with me."
Accompanied by a gentle laugh, Rosen's holy spear pierced the girl's abdomen before she could react.
This scene made Baoyue Yongzi's eyes widen. She immediately wanted to stop him, but she was blocked by Baoyue Xiaoxiao, who was quick to react.
"No blood, look again."
"But…"
Baoyue Yongzi looked anxious.
Seeing that thick holy spear pierce a human body, it was impossible not to be anxious.
However, the change was quickly unexpected.
Not only did the pierced abdomen not bleed, but golden, obscure patterns appeared on the lower abdomen.
Not only that, there was no pain on Shindai Aiyi's face; instead, a comfortable smile appeared on her face.
It was as if she were soaking in a hot spring, her whole body warm and cozy.
However, very quickly, a foul, greasy substance and secretions began to seep out from all the pores on her body.
The smell made even Shindai Aiyi herself cover her nose and mouth.
"The bathroom is over there, feel free to use the toiletries."
Yurikawa Hana thoughtfully handed her a towel.
"After you wash up, I'll send in clean clothes."
Shindai Aiyi casually thanked her, then ran in the direction Yurikawa Hana pointed.
Soon, the sound of running water could be heard.
The Hodzuki sisters exchanged glances, seeing the question in each other's eyes.
"What's going on?"
Baoyue Xiaoxiao asked.
She had considered every possible scenario, and in the worst case, she had even prepared her holy sword of physics to be drawn at any moment.
But what just happened?
How did Shindai Aiyi, a clean little girl, suddenly become like that?
"This is a benefit of becoming a God's Retainer! Accepting the contract not only develops potential but also purges all toxins from the body, making it very healthy!"
Yotsuya Miko explained with a smile.
"You see how good our skin is? Our pores are so small they're completely invisible!"
Yurikawa Hana showed off her fair arm.
"Better than the best medical aesthetic treatment."
Zhoufang Youxi echoed.
Baoyue Yongzi took in the appearances of these girls, observing them carefully.
As a university student, she usually paid great attention to skincare, but no matter how much she took care of her skin, she would still have some minor issues.
However, these girls' faces were all frighteningly clear and white. If she hadn't seen them with her own eyes, she would have thought they were Photoshopped pictures.
"Then… are there any drawbacks?"
Baoyue Yongzi couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
"No drawbacks, at least not for us. As a Retainer, you just need to obey the God's instructions unconditionally, but isn't that what a Retainer is supposed to do anyway?"
Zhoufang Youxi said with a chuckle.
"Hiss..."
It seems there really is something to it?
Baoyue Yongzi became even more tempted by what she heard.
However, Baoyue Xiaoxiao suddenly tugged at her clothes, then shook her head.
······
After all, rashly signing a contract with a god without a clear investigation is not a good thing.
Who knows if there are hidden traps in the contract?
The reason she didn't stop Shindai Aiyi was also because Aiyi herself was at her wit's end.
Using one god to fight another god was also a last resort for her.
"Come in first."
Rosen said.
Then, the two sisters followed everyone into the villa.
Entering the manor for the first time, they were slightly amazed by the spacious rooms and luxurious decorations.
However, thinking of Rosen as a god, they felt that a manor of this scale was completely unworthy of His status.
Hmm?
"Are you Sakurajima Mai, the one who announced her retirement two years ago?"
. ... ....
Ignoring some minor details, Baoyue Yongzi, who was somewhat nervously looking around, suddenly found the long-haired black-haired girl familiar.
Good heavens.
Isn't this Sakurajima Mai, the super idol who debuted as a child star, became incredibly popular a few years later, and was loved by teenagers, older siblings, parents, and even grandparents?
And her own family had collected a large number of videotapes related to Sakurajima Mai.
When she heard the news of Mai's retirement, she was sad for quite a while.
But since even she appeared here, does that mean this big star has also become a familiar of a god?!
"Yes, hello."
Sakurajima Mai showed a faint smile on her face.
In front of outsiders who were not yet companions, she still maintained that gentle but not very approachable tone.
"I actually saw her in person!"
After getting confirmation, Baoyue Yongzi was very excited.
"Sister Yongzi is your fan, she has a lot of your movies and posters at home."
Baoyue Xiaoxiao added.
"Thank you for your support, but I have already retired and am no longer an artist."
"That's a pity, why did you suddenly announce your retirement back then?"
"Private matter, inconvenient to answer."
"Alright then..."
Baoyue Yongzi pursed her lips, wondering if she would be able to know this private matter if she became a familiar of a god.
Soon.
Shindai Aiyi walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and changing into new clothes, her face filled with comfortable and relaxed expression.
And Baoyue Xiaoxiao sharply noticed that the pentagram mark in the girl's eyes had disappeared.
