"Master, my level really rose."
Though invisible, Chelsea felt her body strengthen clearly.
Devilhood in short time—growth exceeding lifetime training.
"Just the beginning."
"Further strength depends on you."
"Mmm, I know."
Chelsea breathed deeply; pretty face flushed more alluringly.
Moments later, lost in strengthening joy.
[Chelsea]
[Race: Devil]
[Master: Kaiser Lucifuge]
[Level: LV27]
[Skill: Stealth]
[Stealth: Reduce presence, perfectly erase aura.]
"One level already?"
"Lower levels rise faster now."
Kaiser pondered.
Continuing thus—his growth accelerating.
New peerage might skyrocket.
Even Ultimate-Class in one go possible.
"My god—Master tamed her this way?"
"Sigh, I lost."
"Wish Master gentler with me."
"You fallen angel—harsh medicine for nasty ones."
Outside hall, peerage chattered.
But voices halted abruptly.
Kaiser's gaze turned their way.
Fine.
Declined earlier, eager spectators now.
"Bad."
"Trouble."
Shiho's group smiles froze.
Watching drama—self-incriminating?
Hum!
Magic circle flashed.
Figures piled like dumplings.
Chelsea: "…"
…
Afternoon.
Kaiser returned main world.
Old school building, Occult Research Club.
"You jerk—days gone again."
Rias nestled in his arms, lightly pounding with pink fists.
"You knew—other world business."
Kaiser embraced her head, claiming lips.
Whispered in ear: "You said busy—no visit?"
But troublesome.
Research cross-world communication soon.
"Hmph."
Rias huffed, pretty face faintly pink.
"Fair point."
"Right—when enrolling?"
"This…"
Kaiser awkward.
Nearly forgot.
Wanted to skip.
But Rias arranged so long—ditching bad.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, [Devil Summoning] flickered.
"This contract…"
Kaiser's lips curved.
"Finally hooked?"
Dilapidated house.
Hitagi Senjougahara paced with phone, eyes anxious.
"Dad, where are you?"
No answer alone—not worrying.
But that woman's recent visit—concerning.
The one called mother.
Crazy since joining cult.
Cut contact long ago, yet resurfaced.
If money—fine, none.
Feared crazier acts.
Hitagi rubbed temples, expression shifting.
"I threw it away?"
Black contract in corner puzzled her.
"Supernatural?"
Hitagi stiffened slightly.
"No—prank."
"But if real?"
She took contract, eyes conflicted, resolve winning.
Save last family—even true devil, offer everything.
Signed name, murmuring.
"Mr. Devil, will you answer?"
Eyes expectant.
Low odds, yet clung.
Soon, self-mocking laugh.
Fake.
Desperate quackery.
Like mother's cult.
But as thought, black parchment blazed.
Dark purple circle spun.
"This?"
Hitagi retreated, eyes wide.
"Finally seeking my help."
Familiar yet strange handsome figure appeared.
"You're… really a devil?"
Hitagi disbelieving.
But circle—no illusion.
"Summoned me—asking that?"
Kaiser smiled playfully. "Contractor, your wish?"
Hitagi breathed deeply.
World stranger.
Impossible odds—real.
But summoned.
Try.
"Mr. Devil…"
Carefully: "Save my father?"
"No problem."
Kaiser agreed instantly.
Ordinary human.
What waves?
Hitagi surprised.
This devil—far nicer than imagined.
Good devil?
Banishing messy thoughts, urgently: "Mr. Devil, no delay—act now."
"Not done negotiating. No rush."
"Hm?"
Kaiser eyed dazed Hitagi, smiling. "Work first—payment."
Hitagi blinked. "What payment?"
"Think devils charity?"
Hitagi: "…"
No fantasies about devils.
Timidly: "Wh-What do you want?"
"No money."
"Not after vulgar things."
Kaiser smiled. "Always wanted you."
"Huh?"
Hitagi's eyes widened, furious. "Even more vulgar!"
"Not quite."
Kaiser's lips curved. "Harem-building—noble goal."
"…"
Perverted devil confirmed.
Summoning mistake?
But situation hopeless.
Repeat—she'd do same.
No choices left.
"But my first time—to a devil?"
Hitagi frantic.
Soon resolute.
Glanced Kaiser timidly. "H-Here?"
"Fine—no outsiders."
"Phew!"
Hitagi breathed deeply, slowly removing coat.
Perfect fullness nearly spilled.
Kaiser raised finger.
"Wait."
Hitagi's pupils shrank. "You're not…"
"Perverted devil—fingers?"
"Eh, your finger's bleeding."
"Nonsense. Mark needs my blood."
"What mark?"
"Peerage ritual."
Hitagi saw fleeting heart pattern on skin.
Face blazed.
M-Misunderstood.
Mortifying.
Won't think her shameless?
Should've asked clearly…
Thump!
Thump thump!
Thoughts raced; Hitagi froze, heartbeat accelerating.
Power surged endlessly within.
"My body… what's happening?"
She gritted teeth, struggling.
"Ritual started—you'll be devil soon."
"???"
Hitagi's mind crashed.
Ignoring reaction, Kaiser viewed attributes.
[Hitagi Senjougahara]
[Race: Devil]
[Master: Kaiser Lucifuge]
[Level: LV9]
[Skill: Weight Manipulation]
[Weight Manipulation: Freely adjust body weight.]
…
[Weight Manipulation] intriguing.
With [Rubber Body] [Iron Body]—potential.
"…"
Hitagi teary at wings and tail.
"Obviously."
Kaiser answered, carefully eyeing her chest again, transcribing info.
"…"
Hitagi flushed, realizing exposure, hurriedly redressed.
Next, attribute sheet before her.
Reviewed carefully; expression complicated.
Really legendary devil?
Checked mirror.
Fine—appearance unchanged.
Except wings and tail—no difference.
And…
Clenched fist instinctively.
Body exponentially stronger.
Mysterious inner energy—likely magic.
Benefits combined—she profited?
Despair at inhumanity vanished.
"Come—talk."
"What?"
"Your father."
Kaiser eyed helplessly.
Forgot main issue?
Hitagi reacted. "Right—mother took him."
"Unclear, but likely her cult, Divine Princess Society."
"???"
Kaiser stunned.
Strong déjà vu.
This mashup world—how much crammed?
"Address?"
"No…"
Shook head; Kaiser dialed Vermouth.
"Mr. Devil…"
"Master."
"Right, Master, this?"
"Finding Divine Princess Society address."
"As devil—no grander method?"
Kaiser instructed Vermouth, hung. "Devils modernize."
No father's aura—can't lock.
Tech superior for locating.
Buzz—
Phone vibrated.
Vermouth sent Divine Princess Society info swiftly.
