"What do you mean?"
Whenever Kagura was mentioned, Yomi became like a lion whose fur stood on end.
If she didn't know the gap in strength, she would have charged already.
"She has Byakuei sealed inside her, doesn't she?"
"That's right."
Yomi nodded and said solemnly: "But what does that have to do with what you're saying?"
She looked at Ayato with utmost seriousness: "I can give myself to you, but Kagura absolutely cannot."
She didn't dare to imagine…
'If Kagura followed this Devil, how would she protect herself?'
"Let me finish."
Ayato smiled: "She bears Byakuei. She won't live long herself. But if she becomes a Devil, that's a completely different matter."
"Re... really?"
Kagura was stunned at first, then said somewhat tremblingly: "I don't have to die?"
"I can live on with Yomi-nee?"
Byakuei, although it was the spirit beast passed down through the Tsuchimiya Clan for generations...
Their feelings towards it were far too complicated.
Admittedly,
Because of this spirit beast, the Tsuchimiya Clan held an extraordinary position in the exorcism world.
But because of this, few lived past thirty.
Her parents had passed away that way.
Watching Kagura lose her composure, Yomi fell silent.
'If it could really be done...'
'It would truly be a good thing for Kagura.'
'I really had no reason to stop it.'
'But would we have to part this way?'
"Of course you don't have to die."
Ayato smiled warmly: "Devils aren't weak humans."
"And I am Mori Ayato. I can definitely solve it."
"What?" x2
As soon as these words were spoken, both Kagura and Yomi were shocked.
'Mori Ayato?'
'This Devil is Mori Ayato?'
'The seventh earthly king?'
'No wonder he was so powerful.'
'Even high-level Cursed Spirits were like ants in his hands.'
"Now, tell me your choice."
Looking at Kagura and Yomi, the corner of Ayato's mouth curled up.
He felt this effect was very good.
This was also why he hadn't revealed his identity immediately.
Only like this could he gradually break down their psychological defenses.
After a long while, Kagura finally came back to her senses from the shock.
'Ayato-sama, besides being a Devil, was also a Campione.'
'If that was the case...'
'Following him might very well be us reaching above their station.'
'Not to mention,'
'It could also save Yomi-nee.'
"Sigh!"
Taking a breath, Kagura stepped forward and said: "Then, my King, let me follow you."
Whether becoming a Devil or something else...
She only wanted to live on with Yomi.
Seeing this, Yomi wanted to speak but hesitated, falling into some kind of torment.
"In that case, let's fulfill the agreement."
Glancing at Yomi, Ayato spoke: "But first, we need to change locations."
"Why?"
"Because you need to take off your clothes."
"Eh?" x2
Yomi and Kagura were both dumbfounded.
'Was becoming a Devil's servant this improper?'
…
In a convenience store,
Kagura performed a standard dogeza, her face red as she took off her outer clothes.
"Mr. Devil, if you only needed my outer clothes, why didn't you say so clearly?"
"Because it's more interesting this way."
Ayato smiled and said: "And you look very cute like this."
Kagura's face grew even redder.
Having barely interacted with the opposite sex since childhood...
Being called cute by a man was too embarrassing.
"..."
Yomi beside her stared directly at Kagura. Thinking of something, her ears turned red.
A certain idea in her heart began to grow increasingly firm.
"Alright, I'm going to begin."
"Come on, my King."
Hearing this, Ayato took out the Evil Piece and pressed it down.
"Mmnn...!"
'This feeling... so hot...'
Kagura's face was bright red; she could hear her heart pounding violently.
'And... so itchy...'
"Mn."
With a muffled groan, two wings burst from her body.
A small, cute heart-shaped tail tip also slowly emerged.
"So... so cute."
Yomi's face flushed slightly, and she couldn't resist pinching the tail tip.
"Mmpphh..."
Kagura's body trembled, her breathing immediately growing much heavier.
She complained: "Yomi-nee, what are you doing?"
"Sorry, I couldn't resist."
Yomi apologized and quickly let go.
Sighing in relief, Kagura quickly withdrew her tail and wings.
If Yomi grabbed them two more times, her whole body would become strange.
Ayato smiled: "How's your body?"
"Better than ever."
Kagura clenched her fist, feeling that her body, which had been damaged by sealing Byakuei, seemed to have become extremely healthy.
She could truly feel the life force flowing within her.
"Good."
Ayato nodded: "Next, I will remove Byakuei from within you."
"This sealing method is too low-level."
"Whatever my King decides."
"Then I'll begin."
As he spoke, a brilliant light appeared. A golden light flashed in Ayato's hand, and the image of a warrior holding a golden sword flashed by.
Then,
A dazzling golden sword appeared in his hand.
The tenth incarnation, the Warrior.
This was an Authority capable of cutting even the flesh and divine power of gods.
Using it to break a so-called seal was even better.
The next moment,
Ayato swung the golden sword, plunging it into Kagura's body.
"Kagura!"
Yomi was greatly shocked and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Ayato.
"Don't worry, she's fine. Haven't you noticed there's not even any blood?"
Yomi was stunned for a moment, then realized, instinctively stopping in her tracks.
"Yomi-nee, I'm really fine. Please don't worry."
Looking at the golden sword piercing her body, Kagura was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"Come out."
Ayato shouted. The moment he withdrew the golden sword, a giant dog with a completely white body, resembling a dragon's head, appeared out of thin air.
