Apartment courtyard!
It was quiet.
Only occasionally, heavier breathing could be heard.
Utaha and the others stared blankly at Ayato and Erina.
Some faces had already flushed slightly, their bodies gradually growing warm.
Ever since everything had happened with Ayato, they found themselves increasingly unable to control themselves.
"Just as expected from the God's Tongue. Truly lives up to its reputation."
Ayato rubbed his chin, silently nodding.
"Hmm?"
Erina pursed her lips, her brain still somewhat in a daze.
"By now, you should be aware of the power of the blessing, right?"
"Huh?"
Erina blinked blankly, then suddenly came to her senses.
'I... what had I just done?'
'I had... stuck out my tongue.'
'Oh my god!'
'Nakiri Erina, what happened to your pride as a chef, your maidenly reserve?'
And with so many people around, this is so embarrassing.
Erina took a deep breath, flicked her hair as if nothing had happened, and said: "Th-the blessing... I didn't feel anything."
Ayato raised an eyebrow and said doubtfully: "That shouldn't be. I just granted you the blessing."
"Were you too focused to feel it?"
Erina's body stiffened.
She had been too shy just now.
Now that she focused, she did indeed feel a warm power within her body.
She forced a smile: "I just became a Devil, after all. I'm not familiar with the various powers yet."
"Then you should get stronger as quickly as possible."
As he spoke, Ayato took out a brand new magic book.
"Ayato's Servant Magic Basics."
Instinctively, Erina's pupils contracted slightly.
'So this is supernatural knowledge?'
She instinctively took it, feeling as if a corner of the world's mystery had been opened to her.
Ayato said: "Study this book. Then we'll arrange a transfer to Kuoh Town."
Erina was stunned, then said with difficulty: "Could I not transfer schools?"
"Why?"
"Because Totsuki Academy is more suitable for me. I still want to be a chef."
Ayato understood and said: "In that case, you don't have to transfer."
"Th-thank you, Master."
Erina was overjoyed.
'Master… seemed different from the Devils of legend.'
'And he was very handsome, and very sweet.'
Thinking this, Erina's face once again flushed pink.
Yes, she was getting into her role quickly.
Ayato looked at her: "But before that, you need to learn teleportation magic, so traveling back and forth will be convenient."
"It's in this magic book, probably on page fifty-three, but before learning it, make sure you understand the basics earlier in the book."
"Thank you, Master."
Erina nodded, carefully put away the magic book, and then said with sparkling eyes: "So, Master, can you show me the ingredients for the barbecue now?"
Ayato didn't answer, just glanced at Xenovia.
Xenovia immediately understood. She ran back into the house first, and when she reappeared, she was carrying a giant head, which she placed on the ground with a thud.
"Wh-what is this?"
"I'm not sure. A Danger Beast from another world?"
"What, another world exists too?"
"Of course. Master will take you there sometime."
…
The next morning,
Nakiri Erina looked around nervously.
"Master, you said today that Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels are all negotiating here?"
"That's right. Didn't I tell you that already?"
"..."
Erina fell silent, then said quietly: "It's just... a bit unbelievable."
Having just become a Devil, was she already going to be involved at such a high level?
These were said to be figures comparable to the Satans.
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Seeing her expression, Erica chuckled: "Don't worry. The king's status is not inferior to theirs. Nothing will happen."
"Yes, Master is a Campione."
Erina nodded instinctively, then felt dazed.
One night!
Enduring Utaha's high-pitched cries, she had memorized some of the basic introductions in the magic book.
The seventh king, who protects the world from Heretic Gods.
Such a person was her master.
She had unknowingly stumbled into such a huge opportunity.
Not to mention the endless supply of other world ingredients, and various benefits like eternal youth and immortality.
She was feeling a bit dizzy now.
Come to think of it,
Becoming Ayato;s servant was really her being the one who benefited.
Utaha suddenly said: "Master, there's a barrier up ahead, and it's very high level."
"That's only natural. It's a meeting of the Three Factions. How could there be no preparations?"
Ayato smiled: "Just follow me in."
With that, the group stepped into the barrier.
This place was clearly a different space.
The youthful, energetic students had disappeared, replaced by Fallen Angels and Devils patrolling the surroundings.
Rias was also already waiting here.
Seeing Ayato, Rias immediately stepped forward: "Michael, the Fallen Angel Governor-General, and my brother have already arrived."
Ayato smiled: "Everyone came early."
"Do you think everyone is like you?"
Rias gave Ayato a glare and said reproachfully: "For such a serious meeting, instead of using teleportation magic, you strolled around campus with your servants."
Her gaze unconsciously swept over Erina, but she felt secretly jealous.
'This bad guy, he had taken on another servant in such a short time?'
'He was moving a bit too fast, isn't he?'
'At this rate, even a hundred wouldn't be enough.'
Although she considered herself a generous person...
This was still quite hard to swallow.
Sensing Rias's gaze, Erina quickly said: "Hello, President Rias. I am Master's new servant, Nakiri Erina."
She was a bit nervous.
After all, from what others had said, she knew that this was her master's fiancée.
Although not a servant...
She was definitely the true main wife.
"Hello. Please take care of Ayato."
Setting aside her feelings, Rias greeted her and said: "Alright, we can save the introductions for later. We can't keep those important figures waiting."
