Inside the palace…
The atmosphere gradually became lively.
Regardless of any private thoughts, in front of Ayato, they were all good sisters.
This was everyone's understanding.
Erica quickly sorted out some situations.
Although this world also had mystical powers, they were not as high as those in her world.
But she did not dare to be careless.
The way Esdeath and the others looked at Ayato seemed as if they wanted to devour him whole.
'It seemed my king was truly burdened with deep sins.'
"Everything is ready."
Ayato's voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.
He stood on a giant magic circle and beckoned to the women.
"It's finally about to begin."
Esdeath strode forward on her long legs, taking the lead into the magic circle.
At the same time, she took off her outer clothes. Her ice-blue long hair fell loose as she looked at Ayato with a charming expression.
'White, nice.'
Ayato rubbed his chin, silently nodding.
"Y-you... you..."
Erica's face flushed with shame: "Didn't my King previously say that just standing in the magic circle would be enough?"
Ayato had already roughly explained how to raise ranks.
"I know."
Esdeath tucked her hair behind her ear and laughed: "It's just that the weather is too hot."
'Hot?'
Listening to the continuous sound of wind outside, the corner of Erica's mouth twitched.
'Could you lie a little more convincingly?'
"Come to think of it, it is summer here."
Utaha said as if realizing something.
Talking to herself, Utaha didn't hesitate either. She walked into the magic circle and took off her top.
She even removed her skirt, leaving only her black stockings.
Shyness and such had completely died after that night.
"..." ×N
Everyone fell silent.
'You two!'
'How could each be more excessive than the last?'
'Did you have to go this far?'
'You're too aggressive; it's hard for us to respond.'
'And Utaha, you don't even need a rank upgrade, do you?'
After a moment of silence...
Finally, someone moved, slowly walking towards the magic circle.
For a moment, the magic circle was filled with a riot of colors.
'This scenery was very nice.'
Ayato's gaze was calm. It would be a waste not to look.
"This is really... quite terrible."
Artoria covered Rin and Sakura's eyes, helplessly complaining.
'This was supposed to be a rank upgrade.'
'Such a proper matter…'
'How had it turned into this?'
It would be one thing for the usual situation…
But there were children present.
Sighing helplessly, Artoria took the two children to a corner of the formation.
"Sigh, hopeless."
With a sigh, Erica could only step into the magic circle.
"It seems everyone is ready."
Ayato nodded with satisfaction and began to activate the magic circle.
Light flickered.
Countless mysterious runes began to swirl around Esdeath and the others, flowing into the positions where their pieces were located.
"Mmpphh..."
"Unh..."
Several different, increasingly heavy breathing sounds, like a symphony, made Ayato's eyes light up.
Esdeath and the others only felt their bodies grow hot, just like when they first became Devils.
Some even collapsed to the ground, kneeling there as sweat soaked through their undergarments, inadvertently revealing a hint of mystery.
Utaha looked around blankly, wondering why didn't she feel anything.
'Oh right, I didn't need a rank upgrade in the first place.'
'But that wouldn't do.'
She immediately pretended to go weak in the legs as well, landing on her back, her black stockings twisting slightly.
Erica was already stunned, her body nearly covered in pink.
'It's too... too...'
She didn't know how to evaluate it anymore.
The blessing had already been excessive enough.
But now, this was even more absurd.
'This woman was trying to compete me to death.'
But soon,
Her body also grew hot, and she could no longer afford to let her thoughts run wild.
"Are they... all alright?"
Najenda looked at Irisviel beside her, her face red.
Of everyone present, the two of them were the only ones who had not yet been reincarnated as Devils.
"No, they look just fine."
Irisviel, who had been through it herself, laughed: "Don't worry. I believe after this ceremony, Ayato-sama will also reincarnate us as Devils."
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Liliana's face grew even redder.
'Becoming a Devil?'
'Becoming one of them.'
Just thinking about it...
Felt like a very bad idea.
On the other side,
Mine and Sheele had sneaked in here.
"S-shameless..."
Mine's face was bright red, and she was at a loss.
"But they are Devil-sama's servants."
Sheele's face flushed slightly as she said quietly: "According to Leone, they are doing normal things."
"B-but..."
Looking at Sheele's eyes, Mine couldn't continue.
Yes!
They weren't even qualified to question it.
After all, they weren't his people.
Thinking this, both of their expressions dimmed slightly.
During this time, the empire was being governed better and better.
They had also grown closer to Najenda and the others, but could still feel a slight distance.
This was entirely because they were not Ayato's servants.
"Should we just give in to that guy?"
Mine said, her face red: "Come to think of it, becoming his servant isn't so bad."
Since the empire was at peace...
She had other ideals as well.
Eternal youth, immortality... no human could resist such things.
And Ayato was handsome, and aside from being a bit lecherous, he was truly reliable.
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Sheele smiled gently.
Actually, she had been tempted for a long time.
After all, with Leone nearby talked about Devil-sama constantly, over time, she had even started to immerse herself in it.
And at that moment,
The magic circle had reached its most critical stage.
Ayato watched every single servant without blinking, afraid that something might go wrong.
Although he had many wings, he didn't want to lose any of them.
Fortunately…
Everything went smoothly.
Under his watch, each person's aura, having been promoted to the Queen rank, began to gradually change.
