While the two girls whispered and cooked, Lin Mu was not idle.
After eliminating Zekyoshi Itaru, his magic power experienced an explosive growth.
He believed that if he continued to replenish magic with Little Angel Mahiru for a while longer, she would awaken her abilities.
This way, Lin Mu could establish a magical link with Mahiru, officially activating the familiar contract.
And when she encountered danger, she could use the power of the contract to summon him or his magic, rapidly increasing her own strength.
This would provide an extra layer of security.
The powers awakened by each familiar are different, and Lin Mu was not sure what kind of power Mahiru would ultimately gain.
However, given Little Angel Mahiru's personality, it would likely be an ability related to healing.
And the most powerful aspect of him as a devil was his ability to use the power of his familiars.
In other words, whatever ability a familiar awakened, he would simultaneously gain that power.
With nothing else to do, Lin Mu simply closed his eyes and used his wish-granting ability.
Instantly, the entire world fell silent.
In his ears, countless murmurs arose—pleas, hatred, and all sorts of emotions and thoughts.
After filtering through them, a clear and pleasant voice finally entered his mind.
"Anyone will do, whether it's a god or a devil, as long as my sister can wake up and recover, I'll do anything!"
And through this pleading thought, Lin Mu saw a girl with cascading black hair, adorably cute to an almost unfair degree, lying on a pristine white hospital bed.
Beside the bed, a voluptuous beauty with short hair, just past her ears, silently wept while holding the girl's small hand.
"Yukino, how could you be so foolish? I'm the one who should be lying here."
Upon hearing this, the identity of the person before him became clear.
She was actually the eldest daughter of the Snow family, Yukino Shitayuki.
And the sleeping beauty lying unconscious in the hospital bed was the main heroine of "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected," Yukino Yukinoshita.
It turned out that at the beginning of the school year, a car suddenly sped by and knocked a unlucky person on the roadside flying.
Then, without slowing down, the car turned a corner and crashed into the Yukino sisters who had just gotten out of their car.
Yukino Yukinoshita, with quick reflexes, pushed her sister out of the way, but she herself was sent flying by the car like a kite with a broken string.
Although she survived after emergency treatment, she had not woken up since.
After a doctor's diagnosis, they said that Yukino Yukinoshita might become a vegetable.
Yukino Shitayuki completely broke down upon hearing this news.
She was a doting sister who loved her sister Yukino the most.
But now, her sister Yukino had been hit by a car and became a vegetable because she saved her.
How could she accept such a cruel reality?
Mrs. Yukino, though outwardly calm, had secretly shed tears more than once.
Her youngest daughter was unconscious, and she naturally found it difficult to accept.
Oh, by the way, the unlucky person who was wandering by the roadside and got hit was Lin Mu.
Fate truly works in mysterious ways.
Having received the wish of the supplicant, Lin Mu immediately used his demonic authority to transmit a message into Yukino Shitayuki's mind.
"Are you sure you can give up everything? It's very difficult to restore a person in a vegetative state to health."
Yukino Shitayuki, crying in the hospital, heard this mysterious voice and her eyes instantly widened.
"You... who are you? You have a way to save my sister, don't you?"
She was afraid she was hallucinating, so she quickly asked, looking around nervously.
"Heh, gods certainly don't have time to bother with little girls like you. I'm an evil devil."
Upon hearing this, Yukino Shitayuki not only showed no fear but instead revealed an expression of pleasant surprise.
"Even if you're a devil, as long as you can restore Yukino's health, I'm willing to do anything!"
"Oh, really? What if I ask for everything you have? Including your body, your soul, and your future life, all will belong to me! Would you still be willing?"
"Everything I have?" Yukino Shitayuki smiled faintly. "What a devil's whisper, but I'm willing! I'm willing to trade my soul, my body, and my life for my sister Yukino's health!"
"So be it, the contract is established! Tomorrow night, I will come to collect all of you. Remember not to tell anyone, or the contract will be void!"
Leaving this message, Lin Mu canceled the use of his authority.
Thinking of Yukino Shitayuki's figure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Although it was a bit despicable to use Yukino Yukinoshita to achieve his goal and make Yukino his familiar.
But he was a devil, and Yukino was willing, so there was no problem!
It was simply a matter of enjoyment!
...
In the hospital.
The devil's whisper vanished.
Yukino Shitayuki held her sister Yukino's small hand on the hospital bed and smiled faintly.
"Yukino, for you, I've gone all out. You absolutely must wake up."
Saying that, Yukino stroked her sister's cheek once, then resolutely left the hospital.
She needed to prepare, to be alone for a while first.
Tomorrow night, everything she had would no longer belong to her.
And after she left.
A tear slipped from the corner of Yukino Yukinoshita's eye on the hospital bed.
She had actually heard everything.
Including her sister's deal with the devil.
But she couldn't stop it, nor could she wake up.
Some crucial nerves in her body were damaged, and it was already lucky that she could maintain consciousness.
...
Hayama Hayato, if I recall correctly, had a crush on Yukino.
Then tomorrow, Yukino will belong to Lin Mu!
Familiar +1!
Indeed, it's the bad guys who get the treats.
If Lin Mu were like Hayama Hayato, trying to maintain the image of a good guy and being a central air conditioner to everyone, he probably wouldn't even touch Yukino Shitayuki in this lifetime.
But he was a devil, which made things easy.
Taking advantage of vulnerabilities was a tactic devils excelled at.
He was feeling pleased.
Shiina Mahiru and Asada Shino walked over, carrying the dishes.
"Dinner's ready, Mu-kun."
Asada Shino also had a flushed face, secretly peeking at his expression.
She had also cooked a few dishes today.
Unlike Shiina Mahiru's splendid cooking skills, her own financially constrained life meant she only knew how to make home-style dishes, and she wasn't sure if he would be satisfied.
Then, when Lin Mu gave her a thumbs-up, a brilliant smile bloomed uncontrollably on Asada Shino's delicate face.
No matter how good or bad the food tasted, praise was always the right thing to do!
And the taste was actually pretty good. Shiina would definitely be a good wife and loving mother in the future, a potential wife indeed.
Of course, if Yui Yuigahama cooked, Lin Mu would rather die than eat it.
According to the information, Yui Yuigahama, who was cute, well-endowed, and lively, was terrible at cooking.
She could follow instructions step by step and still produce dark cuisine.
If you didn't watch her constantly, she could put strange things into the pot at any moment.
Because of this, Yui Yuigahama was forbidden from entering the kitchen by her mother.
"Ach-choo!"
While Lin Mu was complaining in his mind, Yui Yuigahama, who was playing on her phone while lying on her bed, let out a huge sneeze.
Rubbing her nose, Yui Yuigahama quickly burrowed under her covers.
"Strange, it's not cold, so why am I sneezing? Ach-choo!"
