"It seems you have seen those Stray Devils."
Alex looked at Iwanaga Kotoko and smiled: "You don't need to worry about that at all."
"After you become a demon, you will naturally be the same as my Dependents."
"Look at them, is there anything strange about them?"
Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Vermouth and the others, nodding thoughtfully.
"So, give me your answer?"
Staring into Alex's eyes, Iwanaga Kotoko's gaze gradually became firm.
Then there was nothing to be concerned about.
What kind of experience it would be to become a demon, she was really quite ~ looking forward to it.
Iwanaga Kotoko said seriously: "I accept, Mr. Alex."
"Alright, then let's begin."
Alex extended his finger, and golden blood seeped out from it.
"Mm-hmm."
Iwanaga Kotoko looked expectant. "Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Of course. First, you need to take off your clothes."
"Eh?"
Iwanaga Kotoko froze, blinked gently, and then said with a half-smile, "Is the Demon reincarnation ritual actually like this?"
She pulled down her collar and squeezed her chest together, revealing a shallow cleavage, and said with a shy expression.
"I'll give you some fanservice. Is this okay?"
"Honestly, I am your wife, you know. You can just tell me directly."
Alex stared hard for a moment, then said with a straight face, "I'm not lying. You really do need to take off your outer garment."
"I... is that so?"
Iwanaga Kotoko's pretty face turned beet red.
She had completely misunderstood, hadn't she?
She felt a little nervous and shy.
Although she had long since committed herself to Alex, taking off her clothes and all...
...was still so embarrassing.
However, at this point, there was no reason to back down.
Iwanaga Kotoko's gaze became determined.
She hesitantly took off her outer garment, leaving only her undergarment.
She looked at Alex with evasive eyes and whispered, "Um, are there any other steps?"
"No need." Alex shook his head. "Leave the rest to me."
"Okay, let's begin."
"Mm."
Alex stepped forward and dripped the blood onto Iwanaga Kotoko's skin.
"Ngh..." The scalding sensation made Iwanaga Kotoko let out a muffled groan.
Thump! Thump-thump! The sound of her heartbeat was deafening.
Iwanaga Kotoko felt every cell in her body undergoing a transformation.
Hum! A brilliant light flickered. Countless mysterious characters appeared on Iwanaga Kotoko's fair skin.
[Iwanaga Kotoko]
[Race: Demon]
[Master: Alex Lucifergus]
[Level: L9]
[Skill: God of Wisdom, Virtual Deduction]
[God of Wisdom: You gain natural affinity with all Yokai and can communicate with any Yokai.]
[Virtual Deduction: Perform deductions based on the rules of all things, allowing you to find the inevitable patterns among countless possible paths.]
Hmm... possessing two Skills, huh? Alex's eyes flickered.
[God of Wisdom], huh! The name sounds intimidating, but it doesn't seem very useful. Communicating with Yokai and such... that's an ability Demons already possess.
However, gaining affinity with Yokai... it should be somewhat useful when recruiting Yokai as Dependents in the future.
Next is the next Skill. As for [Virtual Deduction]... this familiar sense of déjà vu makes me feel like there's something to complain about.
But after reading the Skill description, Alex's eyes lit up. Insight into the paths of all things? This Skill might truly be extraordinary.
If used well, predicting the future during battle might not be impossible. Alex's face showed a thoughtful expression.
On the other side! Iwanaga Kotoko was a bit dazed. She clenched her fist and could feel strength countless times greater than usual.
Whoosh! With a mere thought, Demon wings and a tail burst forth from her body.
"By the way, your eye and leg also need to be healed."
"Can they be healed?"
Hearing Alex's words, Iwanaga Kotoko froze, and then her eyes lit up completely. For a beautiful girl, losing an eye and a leg and becoming disabled—it would be a lie to say she didn't care.
Previously, there was no way, so she had resigned herself to her fate. But now, the person in front of her was a legendary Demon. Perhaps there was a way.
"Don't worry, I have experience." Alex smiled and took out the tear of the phoenix.
Seeing this scene, Ravel's eye twitched reflexively. These tears represented her own upgrade.
The next second! The phoenix tears had dripped onto Iwanaga Kotoko's body.
"Ngh..." Iwanaga Kotoko's pupils dilated; she felt some kind of power surging within her. Her leg, her eye socket... it itched so much.
Clang! Clang! Just as that thought crossed her mind, the prosthetic eye and leg fell to the ground. A brand-new eye and left leg had completely regenerated.
"It's real... it succeeded." Tears of joy flowed from Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes. She could feel that both her eye and leg were completely real.
She was no longer a broken person. Alex asked, "How is it? How does it feel?"
"It's been so long since I felt this great." Iwanaga Kotoko said excitedly. Now, her vision was clear, her gait was nimble, and strength was brimming throughout her body.
She had never imagined she would reach such a state. Now, she just wanted to run outside without any restraint.
"That's good." Alex smiled slightly and handed her the transcribed attribute information.
"What is this?" Iwanaga Kotoko took it subconsciously.
"Your attribute information..."
"Oh." Iwanaga Kotoko nodded, first skipping the information at the beginning to look at the Skills below.
"God of Wisdom?" Iwanaga Kotoko's eyelids twitched. "I didn't expect that after becoming a Demon, this title would follow me in the form of a Skill?"
Alex explained, "Sometimes Skills are born based on certain peculiarities of the master."
"So this is not surprising."
"I see." Iwanaga Kotoko nodded thoughtfully.
"Virtual Deduction?" Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes lit up. This Skill was simply too perfect for her. With a thought, she activated [Virtual Deduction]. Without a sound, a stream of light flashed in her eyes.
She felt as if everything in the world was rippling with distinct veins before her eyes.
It was just like how she usually made deductions.
As long as she combined countless pieces of information, she could arrive at a specific result.
"A leaf will fall from the tree outside in three seconds."
Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes lit up as she looked out the window.
"Huh?" (xN)
Vermouth and the others instinctively looked over.
Three seconds later.
A leaf drifted down gently.
"..."
Vermouth and the others widened their eyes.
This new companion's Skill seemed quite impressive.
Plus, considering her personality.
It seemed they really had to work hard.
Hitagi Senjougahara and the others exchanged glances, each understanding what the others were thinking.
Clatter! Clatter!
Sounds of chairs and tables shifting rang out as Hitagi Senjougahara and the others all made their move.
"???"
Iwanaga Kotoko blinked.
What was going on?
Were these women's movements a bit too synchronized?
Under her gaze.
Alex's figure was already surrounded, caught in the midst of a flock of beauties.
"Master, our levels have hit a bottleneck." (xN)
Hitagi Senjougahara and the others were all looking eagerly at Alex and...
