"Man! The best! Man! The best!"
The Future Devil's three pairs of eyes sparkled with an unusual light. It had discovered this shocking secret through Hayakawa Aki, which made it uncontrollably excited. It waved its arms, its voice full of exhilaration.
"Ah…? Wasn't it 'Future is the best, Future is the best' just now?"
Renji was puzzled.
"Mhm! Future is the best! Future is the best! But… but men are also the best! Men are the best! Hmm… anyway, Future is the best! Men are the best!"
Hayakawa Aki, who had her head inside the Future Devil's belly, heard the conversation outside and suddenly felt a bit displeased. She pulled her head out.
"Should that be enough?"
Everything was as Renji said. Last night, not long after he left, Makima came to the hospital and discussed Renji with Himeno and Hayakawa Aki, hoping they would keep Renji being a man a secret and not spread it.
Makima also knew about the contract with the Future Devil. On her way there, she had messaged Hayakawa Aki, warning her of certain situations that might arise with the Future Devil—including the current one.
Although she had been prepared, Hayakawa Aki still felt very uneasy upon hearing that such an important matter was known by a devil.
After all, Renji was the focal point of the gang raid incident. Because of his identity as a man, both the gangs and the devils in the shadows wanted to obtain him.
It was too dangerous.
Another reason was personal; Hayakawa Aki also felt deeply uncomfortable. This was considered a secret between her and Renji, and now it had been so casually revealed to a devil.
"Ding~ Detected Hayakawa Aki's jealousy. System rewards 20 points."
Renji felt embarrassed upon hearing the system's voice in his mind.
Hayakawa Aki's jealousy was very strong. Before, it was just Denji, Power, and Himeno; now she even felt it toward devils.
"Hey, wait, I haven't finished watching yet. Quickly put your head back in,"
The Future Devil called out. Although Hayakawa Aki was very reluctant, she still complied.
"Future Devil, first properly complete the steps for the contract. We can talk about the man's matter later,"
Renji reminded.
The Future Devil nodded, gradually quieted down, and focused on observing Hayakawa Aki's future.
After about five seconds, its expression changed again. Its three pairs of eyes slowly widened once more…
Renji's heart tightened, unsure of what it saw. But then, the Future Devil relaxed again and chuckled.
"Alright, I've decided on the terms of the contract."
Hayakawa Aki pulled her head back. The Future Devil bent down and hooked her chin.
"The terms of the contract are simple: you just need to spend 10 minutes every night doing yoga while saying 'Future is the best, man is the best,' and I will lend you a hand."
Upon hearing this contract price, Hayakawa Aki's face filled with disbelief.
The Future Devil possessed special abilities—it wasn't an ordinary devil. Contracting with it could grant powerful strength because it could briefly see future scenes.
Was such a seemingly playful contract price truly enough?
Renji also felt some disbelief. This price was completely different from the original work, even quite inexplicable.
What had Hayakawa Aki's future become due to Renji's intervention?
The Future Devil released Hayakawa Aki, straightened up, and looked at Renji.
"How is it? This contract price isn't troublesome, right? It won't cause any harm to Hayakawa Aki's body at all; in fact, daily yoga will increase her body's flexibility."
The Future Devil's tone was strange when saying this, as if it was pleased to see something—with a hint of lewdness.
Although highly inappropriate, Renji couldn't help but subconsciously think of high-difficulty poses that could only be achieved by two people with very high body flexibility.
Before Renji could ask what was going on, Hayakawa Aki spoke first.
"Is it because of Renji that you've set the contract price I need to pay so simply?"
"That's right~"
"Because he is a man?"
"That's right~"
Hayakawa Aki frowned. She turned to look at Renji, then back at the Future Devil, asking the question that had troubled and worried her for a long time.
"What do you know about Renji? Why do you devils all want to get Renji's di… dick? What is your purpose exactly?"
The Future Devil spread its hands, looking somewhat impatient.
"What does that have to do with you? Alright, alright, these are the contract terms. Just say whether you agree or not. If not, stand aside and don't disturb my upcoming contract with the man."
"I need to think about it more."
The Future Devil looked at Renji, and its attitude toward him was completely different.
"Man! The best! Come on, man, put your head into my belly, let me see your future~"
"Before that, can you tell me what Hayakawa Aki's ending is like? Is it… well… like… peaceful and stable, not so… can you understand what I mean?"
Renji said. The Future Devil stroked its chin, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"I understand. It should be called emotion, worry, right? After you humans become familiar with each other, you all have such emotions. But I cannot tell you what this guy's ending is like."
"Why?"
The Future Devil's three eyes narrowed slightly.
"Because if I tell you, I will be killed."
"By whom?"
The Future Devil shook its head.
"Cannot say. I can only tell you this much. Because I am the future, I am fine. But if I speak it out, I will detach from the concept of the future… and I will be killed."
Renji looked at the Future Devil, and the Future Devil also looked at him.
After a long moment, Renji said nothing. He walked over and placed his head into its belly.
"Oh oh Man! The best Man! The best~"
The Future Devil made unintelligible sounds, twisting its body, examining Renji's past, present, and future.
About half a minute later:
"Alright, man~ I've decided on the terms of the contract."
Renji pulled his head out. Hayakawa Aki quickly grabbed his arm and said,
"Renji, if the contract involves things like lifespan, you must not agree."
"Don't worry~ I won't ask for your lifespan, man. The terms of your contract are that you must regularly, every week, give me 460 milliliters of your white child, a standard amount. If you agree, then it starts now."
Renji and Hayakawa Aki were both stunned. The latter's pretty face flushed red.
"Wh…?! What?! Hey! Renji! Don't agree to it! What kind of absurd contract is this?! It's ridiculous!"
She stepped forward to stop him, but Renji didn't react. Hayakawa Aki couldn't help but quiet down, then stammered,
"Re… Renji? Are you… are you serious? This kind of contract? If it's about your di… dick, my suggestion is… my suggestion is to consider it carefully. Or… or… or should we ask Miss Makima's opinion? She knows something!"
"Eh…? I don't think that's necessary…"
Renji thought for a long time, then asked,
"What do you want my white child for?"
"For myself."
"You… for yourself?"
Renji looked at the Future Devil. To be honest, in hell, he didn't know what level of attractiveness the Future Devil had from a devil's perspective—but from a human perspective…
Its branch-like body, the pointed horns on its head, and six eyes were truly…
"Hmm? Oh, you care about that."
The Future Devil's originally tall and distorted body suddenly began to tremble violently.
"Ugh… ugh… ah… ah!"
It actually began to transform.
Its tall figure gradually shrank, and the pair of horns on its head slowly receded, replaced by long brown hair cascading like a waterfall.
At the same time, the Future Devil's three pairs of eyes—upper, middle, and lower—slowly began to converge toward the center. Their shape and color continuously changed, eventually merging into one single pair of eyes, identical to a human's, with shimmering black pupils.
The rough, bark-like texture and white fur covering the Future Devil's entire body also gradually disappeared.
In its place was skin as delicate and white as snow, translucent and crystal-clear, like mutton-fat jade.
The thick tree roots forming the lower half of its body rapidly split in two, reshaping into long, straight human legs.
"Ugh… a little… a little uncomfortable… but… but the future is the best… man is the best…"
The Future Devil panted. Renji noticed her voice had also changed—becoming much softer, pleasant, and distinctly feminine.
It could be said that in just a moment, standing before Renji and Hayakawa Aki was no longer the twisted, monstrous Future Devil from earlier…
But a beautiful, naked woman with long brown hair, draped over her shoulders, and an unbelievably hot figure.
