Creak—
The villa's front door swung open.
"Sis, it's pretty nice in here, right?"
Shiho tugged Akemi inside.
Akemi slipped on a pair of guest slippers, glancing around the spacious interior with a thoughtful expression.
There really weren't any signs of the organization?
Kaiser watched Akemi, a faint glint in his eyes.
"So, you're Shiho's sister. Do you happen to have a boyfriend?"
"Hm?"
Shiho's gaze sharpened instantly, an inexplicable pressure radiating from her.
"What kind of shady ideas are you cooking up?"
Kaiser replied with perfect confidence, "Just curious, that's all."
"No way. Absolutely no moves on my sister."
Shiho bristled like an angry cat.
As expected.
This jerk was already plotting to have both sisters.
Dream on.
"Oh my, you two seem really close."
Akemi watched the exchange with an indulgent, almost aunt-like smile.
No wonder Shiho had changed so much.
She'd found someone special.
With that in mind, Akemi wagged a finger playfully. "I don't have a boyfriend at the moment."
"But if you're trying to win over my little sister, you can't go chasing every pretty face you see."
Kaiser paused, then grinned. "Why not? I'm a devil planning to build a harem, after all."
"Eh?"
Akemi froze.
A harem?
And... a devil?
She wasn't sure how to react anymore.
He was incredibly handsome—yet suffering from full-blown delusions?
If she didn't say something, wouldn't it make things awkward for Shiho?
Akemi forced a polite laugh. "You're quite the comedian, sir."
"No, I'm completely serious."
Kaiser shook his head, his voice dropping low and resonant. "I really am a devil."
The moment the words left his mouth...
A pair of sleek, black bat-like wings unfurled from his back.
"Th-this..."
Akemi's pupils shrank to pinpricks as her body began to tremble.
The handsome young man before her—was truly a devil?
Did that mean the organization was involved with supernatural beings?
How naive she'd been.
To think Shiho had actually escaped their watch.
"Don't scare my sister!"
Shiho launched herself at Kaiser, wrapping around him and biting down hard on his shoulder.
"Are you part dog or something?"
Kaiser sighed helplessly.
Last night had been the same—she really loved to bite.
Who would've guessed from the anime?
"???"
Akemi's face was a mask of confusion.
Her little sister was this casual with a devil?
Something wasn't adding up.
She took a deep breath and asked, "Shiho, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
"What's going on between you and this... devil gentleman?"
"Heh heh..."
Shiho gave an awkward laugh, sliding off Kaiser before launching into the story.
"It all started a few days ago..."
After hearing everything, Akemi fell silent.
Suddenly, she stepped forward and poked at Shiho's back.
Shiho blinked. "What's wrong, sis?"
"If you're a devil now, you should have wings too, right?"
"Looks like you still don't believe me."
Shiho smiled faintly. Ripples spread across her skin as a pair of wings emerged.
Akemi: "..."
It took a full half-minute before she whispered, "Shiho... you're really not human anymore."
"Yeah."
"How does it feel to be a devil?"
"Honestly? More free than I've ever felt."
"In that case... is there a chance for me?"
"???"
Shiho's face filled with question marks. "What do you mean, sis?"
Akemi smiled softly. "I want to become a devil too."
Shiho's mouth twitched.
Wow.
She'd barely finished explaining about her master, and her sister was already volunteering.
"Sis, you need to think this through. Do you understand what becoming a devil really means?"
Shiho drew a deep breath, weighing her thoughts.
Truth be told...
If she set aside other concerns, her sister becoming a devil would be nothing but beneficial.
Shiho now spoke from experience.
In just a few days, she'd gained power far beyond human imagination.
That alone was enough to erase any fear of the Black Organization.
And that was without mentioning the servant system her master had granted—or the incredible skills that came with it.
She could keep growing stronger indefinitely.
Bluntly put, becoming a devil was an unparalleled opportunity for an ordinary person.
If her sister joined her...
Kaiser wouldn't have to worry about an ordinary human sister facing danger.
The only issue...
Shiho glanced subconsciously at Kaiser, her ears turning pink.
She was certain her master wouldn't let a servant slip through his fingers untouched.
Then it really would be...
Sisters sharing the same blanket.
For her sister's sake, she had to make a few things clear.
"Sis, once you become Master's servant, you'd belong to him completely."
Shiho spoke solemnly again. "You'd have to serve him for life."
She emphasized the word serve heavily.
Serve... serve... serve?
Akemi's cheeks flushed crimson, her eyes widening.
So that's the kind of relationship Shiho had with this devil?
She glanced at Kaiser.
He really was handsome.
Perfectly her type.
Serving him...
She could accept it—mentally and emotionally.
Besides, with Shiho already a devil...
This was the only way to stay by her side and protect her.
"Shiho, I've made up my mind."
After answering, Akemi's face grew even warmer.
After all, "serving"...
She was still completely inexperienced.
She'd never even had a boyfriend.
"Fine. If you've thought it through, I won't object."
Shiho's expression turned complicated. "But whether you can become a devil..."
"Ultimately depends on Master's decision."
