Chapter 67 - Chapter 68: The Self-Conscious Girl

Lynn briefly explained the capabilities of the Grace System.

Hearing this, a look of realization flashed in the Saint Son's eyes.

Then she clutched the paper with the Grace System information, her heart filled with complexity.

She yearned to save the Cursed Children but lacked the actual power.

She could only achieve her goal by making a deal with a demon.

She had expected things to become strange.

After all, demons were rumored to be malicious.

But…

She had been prepared to sacrifice herself, so why did it turn out like this?

After reincarnating as a demon.

She gained powerful physical attributes, supernatural magic, a long lifespan, and slow aging.

And…

She looked at the Grace System information, pursing her lips.

Was this the key to ascending to heaven?

This…

This was completely a reward!!

The Saint Son: "…"

She pursed her lips, a flicker of struggle in her eyes.

Did even someone as incompetent as her deserve such a qualification?

She was clearly just a pretty face.

She was clearly just… a mascot pushed into position.

Slap!

A broad, warm hand rested on her head.

Saint Son came to her senses, looked up slightly, and stared blankly at Lynn.

"How does it feel to become a demon?"

Saint Son lowered her eyelids, not daring to look into Lynn's eyes.

She whispered, "It feels… very good."

Even though her body was still slender, she could feel explosive power hidden within her.

Having become a demon, she must now be able to do things that were impossible for her when she was human, right?

Just like a Cursed Children who had unleashed her abilities?

No!

It was stronger than that!

After all, she was currently just an Inferior Demon.

Having been granted the Grace System, she still had huge room for improvement!

"But…"

Saint Son bit her lip and said with some self-consciousness, "Mr. Lynn, why did you choose me?"

Of course, it was because you signed the Demon Contract.

And the demon chess pieces lit up for you.

Lynn thought to himself.

But he didn't say it out loud.

He could tell that Saint Son's mindset was a bit problematic.

Outside, she was a noble, calm, and steady Saint Son.

But her essence was a sensitive and self-conscious young girl.

Ultimately, standing at the highest position in Tokyo, she was still just a high school student.

"Am I, someone like me, truly qualified to follow behind you?"

Saint Son's voice revealed her confusion.

Only someone like Miss Kisaragi was qualified, right?

"Don't overthink it."

Lynn patted her head and smiled, "Whether you're qualified or not isn't decided by you, it's decided by me."

Well, it's decided by the demon chess pieces.

Certified by the demon chess pieces.

"Without a doubt, you are the talent I need."

Saint Son stared blankly at Lynn.

His gentle smile instantly broke through the gloom in her heart.

Lynn pinched her face and continued, "What's more, your current identity is quite useful in this world."

Gathering the Cursed Children, without Saint Son's help, it would probably take a long time, right?

His dependents currently didn't have that many people.

Hearing Lynn's words, Saint Son said seriously, "Please give me your commands, Mr. Lynn!"

Since she was allowed to follow Mr. Lynn, she had to at least show her abilities!

She didn't want to be just a pretty face anymore!

Lynn continued to pinch her face and said, "No rush, let's see your own abilities first."

"Hmm…"

Only then did Saint Son feel Lynn's hand on her face.

Saint Son pursed her lips, not resisting Lynn's little gesture.

Compared to the grace bestowed by Mr. Lynn, just rubbing her face was nothing.

It was just…

It was her first time having her face rubbed by a boy, and she still felt a little shy.

She forced herself to focus on the Grace System information in her hand.

Following Lynn's reminder, she skipped the basic abilities, which were all i0 at this stage, as usual.

However, her gaze paused at the 'Owner' section.

Owner…

A strange feeling arose in Saint Son's heart.

Her heart rate quickened a bit, and she quickly shifted her gaze to the final innate skill.

[Ideal Demon].

Saint Son's mood was complex.

This name always gave her a subtle feeling.

Was it mocking her for being an idealist?

Peace Domain and Utopia.

Well, indeed, these were the societal forms she had once strived for.

However, none of them had been realized.

Even.

She hadn't even crossed the first step.

But…

"These are all abilities that suit me very well."

She herself was a pacifist and didn't like to fight.

This was good…

Seeing Saint Son finish reading her Grace System information, Lynn sat in her office chair and casually flipped through the documents on the desk.

On the desk, besides the new gastrea act, there were also things like the New Human Project, special forces, arrangements for the Cursed Children, and so on.

Hmm…

He didn't understand any of it.

After a casual flip, Lynn gave up.

Although he had watched the anime Black Bullet before.

But now it was a real world, and many social systems were quite different from the world he was in.

After thinking about it, Lynn didn't plan to make any plans himself.

With Saint Son, who understood this world best, he saved himself the trouble of racking his brains.

He tapped the table rhythmically with his index finger and said, "I plan to reincarnate all Cursed Children into demons."

"As long as they are reincarnated as demons, the gastrea virus in their bodies will be directly inactivated by the demon's cells."

"And I will also gain more dependents."

"Dependents?"

Saint Son, who had just been reincarnated as a demon, had confusion in her eyes.

Although she knew that everything about her completely belonged to Mr. Lynn.

But she was still a bit unclear about the concept of dependents.

Lynn had to explain the meaning of dependents to her again.

"I see."

Saint Son suddenly understood.

They were servants who served Mr. Lynn.

She had no resistance to it.

After all, after becoming Mr. Lynn's servant, she also gained great power and potential.

Mr. Lynn even promised her that he would save the Cursed Children.

As for the Cursed Children, Saint Son felt that they would be overjoyed.

Even without the bestowal of power, as long as someone could accept them, they would be content, right?

What's more, after becoming a demon, their bodies would return to normal.

For the Cursed Children, being saved by Mr. Lynn was simply the greatest fortune in the world!

"Mr. Lynn, what do I need to do!"

Saint Son looked serious.

"Just find all the Cursed Children, gather them, and wait for me to reincarnate them one by one."

Lynn gave the instructions.

Saint Son took a deep breath and said with firm eyes, "I understand!"
