What is a Devil?
A synonym for cunning, treacherous, and evil in legends.
Skilled at manipulating hearts, delighting in deceiving humans.
In short, nothing good is said about them.
And now, one had appeared before her?
Looking at those Devil wings, Erina's brain had crashed.
Her entire body trembled uncontrollably.
'It's over!'
'Everything is too late!'
'This is ten thousand times scarier than any evil group.'
'Devils... actually exist?'
Erica chimed in: "Besides being a Devil, my King is also a god-slaying existence, an earthly king. That's a hundred million times more noble than being a Devil."
'God-slaying?'
'A threat, this is a threat, right?'
'If I refused, would I be killed on the spot?'
Erina's eyelids twitched, her mind in turmoil.
Finally,
She bowed deeply: "Devil-sama, regarding becoming your servant, please command me."
'You two did well.'
Ayato gave Utaha and Erica an approving look.
They had broken through her psychological defenses so quickly.
"I'm not forcing you. Don't regret it later."
"Of course I won't regret it. This is voluntary."
Erina showed a smile uglier than tears.
She hadn't thought about running away.
But thinking of the other's identity as a Devil...
She gave up hope.
As an ordinary person, how could she escape?
"That's good!"
Ayato nodded and took out an Evil Piece: "Next, just insert this into your body."
Looking at the piece, Erina's eyelids twitched. She forced herself to say: "Why... why do I have to insert this... piece?"
"Don't worry."
Ayato explained: "This is a necessary process for reincarnation as a Devil."
"Only by becoming a Devil can you hunt those powerful races as ingredients."
Erina understood.
'No wonder that meat was so special.'
'It seemed it was also a creature that, like Devils, only existed in legends.'
'Thinking about it this way...'
'Becoming a Devil seemed like a good thing.'
At least as a chef...
She would be stepping into a whole new world.
'But how would that piece reincarnate me as a Devil?'
'And by 'insert', did I have to choose a place myself?'
Erina looked over her body but couldn't find a suitable spot.
Ayato smiled and said: "No need to look. Just take off your top."
"Ah..."
Hearing this, Erina's face turned red, steam seemingly rising above her head.
'Th-this fast?'
'I wasn't ready yet?'
'And with so many people here, how could I do this?'
Utaha said helplessly: "Don't imagine so many things."
She understood this thought process all too well.
Because she had been much the same.
"I'll help you."
Erica, unable to watch anymore, began to take action, unceremoniously leaving Erina in only her white undergarments.
"I-is... is this okay?"
Erina hugged herself with both arms, saying somewhat tremblingly.
Although it was different from what she had imagined...
Being this bold in front of a boy she had just met was still very embarrassing.
After admiring the view for a while, Ayato pressed the Evil Piece onto her.
"Mn..."
The cool touch made Erina tremble involuntarily.
Her skin seemed like water; the piece instantly merged into her body.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Her senses amplified infinitely, the sound of her heartbeat deafening.
Erina felt changes happening within her body.
'Master had taken in another beautiful girl.'
Watching this, the others' expressions were somewhat complex.
'Come to think of it...'
'How many were in the master's harem now?'
'Wasn't he afraid of exhausting himself?'
'Wait, Master isn't just a Devil, he's a Campione.'
'Well, never mind then.'
Even with their blessings, they couldn't hold out.
"Something... is coming out..."
Erina bit her lip lightly, unable to bear the itch on her back any longer. A pair of Devil wings burst from her body.
Swish!
A long tail also emerged, slithering on the ground.
"Is this... over?"
Looking at Ayato, Erina said shyly, her face red, hands still hugging her chest.
"The Reincarnation Ceremony is complete."
Ayato nodded and said: "Next is the blessing."
"Blessing?"
Erina blinked, her expression blank.
Then,
She saw Ayato's handsome face getting closer and closer.
'The blessing needed to be this close?'
'Wait!'
'He wasn't going to...'
"Mmmpphh..."
'What... what is this taste?'
'So... so sweet...'
Erina's eyes widened, but they began to grow hazy.
Such sweetness, smooth but not greasy.
No dessert she had ever eaten in her life could compare.
She seemed to be swimming joyfully in an ocean of sweets.
Erina possesses an extraordinary sense of taste, known as the God's Tongue in the culinary world.
Her evaluation could even determine the rise or fall of a restaurant.
She had tasted most of the world's delicacies.
But today, she was captivated.
"Th-this... this woman?"
Everyone around was completely stunned.
'This new servant was far too bold?'
This was the first time they had seen someone so fierce when receiving a blessing for the first time.
'She was... fighting back?'
"This is bad."
Utaha clenched her fists, staring intently at Ayato and the other.
'This is terrible.'
'This woman is a major threat.'
She had thought that finally, among the servants, an ordinary person like herself would appear.
But now, it seemed she had been careless.
'Judging by appearances alone, one couldn't tell.'
'Inside... she was far too depraved, wasn't she?'
"This is all your fault, isn't it?"
Erica said quietly, with an expression that said 'you've taken it too far'.
A sense of crisis also rose in her heart.
Blonde hair, good figure.
This woman's profile seemed to overlap quite a bit with her own.
