"W-What?! Ugh—!"
Takumi's entire body tensed as Marina descended upon him with whale-swallowing ferocity.
Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined she'd resort to this method to stop him.
"Takumi-kun~ From now on... j-just... come to me... Don't touch them anymore... Nn~"
Marina's voice hitched with suppressed sobs, her upturned eyes shimmering with unmistakable allure.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't deny her own shortcoming.
Takumi was simply too overwhelming—in every sense.
While Marina battled her insecurities, Takumi sucked in several sharp breaths through clenched teeth.
Can't hold out... Absolutely can't hold out!
Faced with Marina's sincere oral persuasion, refusal became impossible.
He knew Marina's conservative nature well—for her to go this far was already profoundly "touching."
"Marina, I see your resolve."
Takumi's voice reverberated against her ear.
"But this level is far from enough. If you truly want to stop me... you know what's required."
Marina bit her cherry-red lip, torn by indecision.
Her traditional values screamed that such intimacy should wait until marriage—first kisses, home runs, everything.
But the images of Kayoko and Airi flashed before her eyes... followed by Takumi's towering presence.
Her mental scales tipped irrevocably.
Slowly, she rose to her feet, the thin nightgown clinging to her youthful curves.
Genetically, Marina favored Kayoko—inheriting her aunt's perky roundness and slender waist, though rendered more supple and innocent by youth.
Where Kayoko exuded mature charm, Marina radiated untouched purity—a contrast that somehow felt more provocative.
Especially when she turned away with trembling resolve, the sheer dichotomy short-circuiting Takumi's restraint.
Don't let the battle end!!!
"Marina... Really, really~ No second thoughts?"
Takumi stepped forward, encircling her slender waist from behind.
At the contact of his scorching palms, Marina shivered—equal parts fear and anticipation.
Gritting her teeth, she shook her head stubbornly.
"No~ For their sake, I'll do it! But Takumi-kun... you have to promise. No more touching them."
"If you need someone... then take me!!"
Her declaration rang with the finality of a warrior marching to her doom.
"Ohhh~ I promise, Marina."
Though I won't initiate. Whether they come willingly... well, that's not my problem.
Silently appending this mental footnote, Takumi elected to indulge her stubborn wish.
Simultaneously, he activated a magic circle—
Ping!
—sealing their [Master-Servant Contract] as a pink heart-collar materialized around Marina's swan-like neck.
Her body and mind shattered instantly.

[Study Focus (White): Increased concentration and learning efficiency.]
A glance at her mundane stats confirmed Takumi's expectations—no rare talents awakened through her "Student" class.
"Perfect timing. My Pawn piece just evolved into a Mutation piece... Let's test it."
Scooping up the limp, barely-conscious Marina, he pressed the obsidian chess piece against her skin—
Vwoom!
The Pawn dissolved into her body, unleashing an indescribable power that surged through every cell.
Marina's aura skyrocketed as her senses sharpened exponentially. Even with eyes shut, she could feel Takumi's presence.
[What's happening? This strange sensation... It's like Takumi-kun is—]
"Aah~!"
Jet-black demonic wings erupted from her back mid-moan.
Takumi's interface updated in real-time:

"Not bad. Ascending to heaven in one step."
Takumi's eyes gleamed at witnessing his Demon Chess set's potency firsthand.
Meanwhile, Marina stared dumbfounded at her transformed body—
"W-What is this?!"
"My strength... Night vision is crystal clear... Eh?!"
Panicked, she whirled toward Takumi—only for demonic knowledge to flood her mind at his mental command.
Ten seconds later, understanding dawned in her widened eyes.
"So now... I'm Takumi-kun's demon subordinate~"
"How magical... Demons and angels really exist. Takumi-kun is amazing~"
Marina sighed dreamily, gazing at him with liquid adoration—fully grasping the immense privilege bestowed upon her.
Takumi arched a brow. "Now that you know... still planning to block me from Kayoko and Airi?"
"O-Of course! That's our promise! Even as your subordinate... I-I'll stop you!"
Despite her tomato-red cheeks, Marina held her ground.
Amused by her tenacity, Takumi swept her into a crushing embrace.
"Then let's see how well this newborn demon can perform!"
"Eeh?!"
Her crimson face paled slightly—but she nodded through gritted teeth. +
