Because of the Cat Sprite gastrea virus, Fuse Midori's sense of smell was extremely sensitive.
She could even use scents for divination.
So…
Lynn-sama's words had no scent of a lie!
Plop! Plop!
Fuse Midori lowered her head, staring blankly at the ground, large teardrops falling.
She was called… cute…
She bit her lower lip lightly, trying hard not to make a sound, but tears flowed uncontrollably.
Lynn watched her trembling and sobbing, and gently turned her around.
"If you want to cry, you can cry as much as you want in my arms."
Fuse Midori sniffled, tears gushing, and with outstretched arms, she threw herself into Lynn's embrace, sobbing loudly.
"Lynn…sama!!"
Lynn held her, gently stroking her hair.
She must have endured so much hardship…
Both Cui and the Cursed Children…
That's why this distorted world must be cleansed…
Inside the orphanage.
Aside from Fuse Midori's cries, there was no other sound.
The Cursed Children stared blankly at her, falling silent.
They were all abandoned, so they could empathize.
Lynn-sama…
They etched these words deeply into their hearts, vowing never to forget them.
Because he accepted not only Fuse Midori.
But also them, as Cursed Children.
After a while.
Fuse Midori's crying subsided.
"Lynn-sama, will you abandon me?"
She sniffled, buried in Lynn's embrace, her voice muffled.
Even though she had smelled the answer she desired, she was still anxious.
She wanted to…
…ask it herself.
She wanted to…
…hear it with her own ears.
Lynn did not answer, but instead asked again, "Cui, will you be my exclusive Cat Sprite?"
The answer was self-evident.
Fuse Midori looked up, her eyes red, gazing blankly at Lynn's gentle smile.
She buried her face in Lynn's embrace again and nodded vigorously.
"Cui will be Lynn-sama's exclusive Cat Sprite!"
This time, her voice held no nervousness, fear, or timidity…
Instead, it was filled with determination!
"Then, it's a deal?"
"Mm!"
…
After letting Fuse Midori hug him for a while longer, Kanoe Yuuko finally couldn't bear it anymore and said faintly, "Master, when will you spoil me like this too?"
Aren't ghosts pets?
"Mm…"
Fuse Midori jolted, only then remembering that she wasn't alone with Lynn-sama.
Ah, ah, ah, ah—
How embarrassing…
It was all because it was too quiet around them!
She quickly looked up, leaving Lynn's embrace.
Seeing the teasing gazes of the surrounding Cursed Children, she became flustered.
Her face instantly turned crimson.
Lynn smiled, "Alright, let's continue with the reincarnation ritual."
Oh, right!
The reincarnation ritual!
Suddenly, Fuse Midori's entire body stiffened.
Oh no! It's over!!
She completely forgot that she was still naked!!
He, he must have seen everything, Lynn-sama…
Mm…
She felt like her head was going to smoke.
She could only mechanically turn around, exposing her back to Lynn.
It wasn't until Lynn placed the demon chess pieces on her spine that the cold touch gradually brought her back to her senses.
Lin, Lynn-sama…
It's, it's okay if he saw everything…
After all…
She was already Lynn-sama's pet.
Mm…
But!
It was still so embarrassing!
When the demon chess pieces completely merged into Fuse Midori's body.
The reincarnation ritual was officially completed.
[Ding! You have gained a dependant, Fuse Midori!]
[Ding! Your dependant, Fuse Midori, has reincarnated as a special Demon!]
[Ding! You have gained a skill…]
Lynn temporarily shielded the system notifications and examined her boon information.
Fuse Midori
Level: Inferior Demon
Race: Demon
Master: Lynn Valefor
Strength: I0
Agility: I0
Endurance: I0
Magic: I0
Innate Skills:
[Gastrea Factor Cat Sprite]
Cat Claws (Can grow sharp cat claws from fingertips)
Scent Divination (Can perceive others' emotions and destinies through scent)
Increased agility growth rate
[Cat Nymph Devil]
Soul-Eating Azure Flame (Releases a sky-blue demonic flame; upon hitting an enemy, applies an erosion status)
Fate Track Scent (A scent that divines fate, granting first strike in every battle.)
Demonization (Lamenting Cat Sprite)
Among the Cursed Children, the first special Demon was born!
Gastrea Factor Cat, needless to say, is a skill self-acquired due to the gastrea virus.
However, the ability to divine scents adds a touch of mystery to this skill.
Lynn skipped over the others and looked at the skill description for Cat Nymph Devil.
Comes with an erosion effect, grants first strike in battle...
Tsk tsk.
These are all abilities with unique mechanics.
I didn't expect Cui's potential to be quite good.
Both of these skills can be used by Lynn.
Especially the first strike effect of Fate Track Scent, it feels like it will be a very strong ability.
Lynn sighed, "Cui, you're a lucky Cat!"
"Mmm..."
Praised by Lynn, Fuse Midori blushed.
Lynn copied her Grace information, and after she got dressed, he handed it over.
Having gone through the previous Reincarnation Ceremony, Fuse Midori had some understanding of the Grace System.
She lowered her head to examine it.
Inevitably, her gaze lingered on the 'Owner' column for a moment.
From today onwards, she was a Cat with an owner.
No longer a Stray Cat!
Blushing slightly, she shifted her gaze downwards.
As usual, she skipped over the basic abilities, which were all i0, and looked at her own skills.
Seeing the Gastrea Factor Cat skill, her eyes became a little complicated.
After all, it was the culprit that had caused her trouble.
But now, it had become her skill.
However...
It's alright now.
After Demonization, she no longer had the gastrea virus inside her.
This was just a skill that the Grace System had preserved for her.
What's more.
The reason why her Cat ears didn't disappear after the gastrea virus was eradicated should also be because of this skill.
That's great.
Fuse Midori breathed a sigh of relief.
It was something that had caused her to be abandoned and bullied.
But now, because of Lynn's affection, she had found happiness.
Therefore.
Cat ears are essential!
Then, she focused her gaze on the last skill.
Cat Nymph Devil.
Hmm...
Her eyes blurred slightly.
She felt that they were all very powerful abilities.
But for her at the moment, their meaning was unclear.
She clutched the paper with the Grace information.
She wondered what these abilities could do for Lynn.
If she could help Lynn, that would be great.
While she was deep in thought, Lynn took out his phone and took a few pictures of her.
Click!
Fuse Midori looked up in confusion, her eyes a little dazed.
