I, the spiritual mentor of beautiful girls from all over the world

"Pet Number Two".

He looked at the demon king, who was still immersed in a mixture of power, humiliation, and grievance, unable to extricate himself.

"In your name, Demon King, go to the seventy-two pillars of nobles and 'confiscate' their privately hoarded divine artifacts (reincarnated demons)."

"Your underworld must possess the technology to seize divine artifacts without harming the target's life, right?"

A wicked smile curled at the corners of Lynn's mouth.

"I think no one would dare refuse a Demon King's merciful 'request,' would they?"

……

Over the next few days, the atmosphere in the safe house became delicate.

Besides instructing Seraph on how to control her surging power, Lynn also kept an eye on the black cat that was jealous of the "newcomer's" rise to power.

That night, the evil god did not engage in a major battle with the "partners of justice".

He pushed open Hei Ge's door.

The expected embrace of a beautiful and tender woman did not materialize.

The room was empty except for a solitary, huddled figure by the windowsill.

Hei Ge hugged his knees, buried his chin in his arms, like a stray cat abandoned by the world, staring blankly at the empty darkness outside the window.

Lynn walked up behind her, but she didn't turn around.

"Is there something you need, Master, visiting so late at night?"

Her voice was cold, like a block of ice, devoid of all its former warmth and charm.

"Or is it that... that chuunibyou demon king can no longer satisfy you?"

Lynn didn't speak, but simply reached out and pressed her shoulder, using a little force to turn her stiff body around, forcing her to face him.

Those golden cat eyes were filled with the grievances and unease she tried so hard to hide with coldness.

"What's wrong with you?" Lynn asked in a flat tone.

He looked into her eyes and asked, word by word:

Do you feel like your position has been taken away?

These words, like a needle, precisely pierced through all her pretense.

Hei Ge's eyes instantly reddened.

She opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to refute with sharper words to protect her pitiful self-esteem.

But Lynn didn't give her a chance.

He lowered his head and used his own words to shut up all the insincere words she was about to utter.

Isn't this gentle?

Rather, it is a punitive, irresistible, and ownership-claiming act of appropriation.

"Well……!"

Hei Ge's body went from stiff to trembling, and finally, she completely lost her strength and collapsed into his arms.

After a long time, ? minutes.

She leaned against his chest, breathing heavily, her golden cat-like eyes filled with a hazy, watery light.

All resentment, unease, and jealousy were crushed to dust in this?

"Master... is a bad guy..."

She stretched out her small fist and weakly pounded his chest, her voice filled with the sobs of someone who had just survived a disaster.

Lynn took her hand, picked her up, and carried her to the large bed.

He gently set her down, looked down at her, and said in a seductive voice that only she could hear:

"As a reward for your hard work during this time, and as a congratulatory gift for you becoming my first family member..."

He paused, then lifted her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes.

"Remember, Black Song, you were my first pet."

"No one can take this position away from us."

Lynn's voice, like a branding iron, is imprinted on the soul of Black Song.

"Now, let your pet number one experience what a real 'reward' is."

Those words melted the last piece of ice in her heart.

Hei Ge's body went limp, and her last bit of strength dissipated as she collapsed into his arms.

She looked up, her tear tracks still wet, but her golden cat-like eyes held no more resentment, only a burning light.

She stretched out her arms, hooked them tightly around his neck, and pulled him towards her.

The cat's tail, which had been stiff, came to life and wrapped around his wrist.

She buried her face in the crook of his neck, nuzzling him gently like a cat.

Then, she whispered in his ear, her voice nasal, soft and sticky:

"Owner……"

"kitten……"

She looked up at him, her tongue unconsciously licking her lips.

"I want...the best reward..."

"it is good."

The wind chimes outside the window swayed all night.

Hei Ge became his fourth woman.

……

half a month later.

The Underworld, within the territory of Gremory, in a castle specifically used for high-level meetings.

The atmosphere was so heavy it seemed like it could drip water.

Since the Demon King Seraph Leviathan mysteriously disappeared along with the live broadcast signal while pursuing the SS-rank rogue ninja Kuroka half a month ago, the entire Underworld's higher-ups have been plunged into an unprecedented state of anxiety and turmoil.

A demon king, in his own territory and under the watchful eyes of the entire underworld, was forcibly abducted by a mysterious, unheard-of being.

This is no longer a provocation.

This is a declaration of war.

"Still no news, Lord Sazex?"

The head of the Siddi family asked anxiously, breaking the dead silence.

On the throne sat a man with long, crimson hair, Sirzechs Lucifer, who simply shook his head calmly.

His handsome face showed no emotion, but deep within his emerald eyes lay a heavy burden that even he himself found difficult to bear.

Just then, without warning, a ripple appeared in the center of the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a spatial rift was violently torn open.

A petite figure dressed in a dark blue magical girl battle dress walked out from there unhurriedly.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting~"

Seraphim Leviathan.

She has come back.

She was still dressed in that familiar, girlish outfit, and with that sweet, energetic smile. She even playfully flashed a "V" sign at everyone.

"The magical girl ☆Livi☆Candy, who upholds love and peace in the underworld, makes a magnificent return!"

Inside the hall, all the demons were dumbfounded.

But Sazex's pupils contracted slightly at that moment.

Not right.

Seraph, standing before me, looked exactly the same as before she disappeared.

But beneath that deliberately performed liveliness lay a bottomless, chilling coldness that even made him uneasy.

That is not the majesty of a demon king.

Rather, it is a kind of... ultimate purity resulting from the sublimation of strength.

“Seraph, you…”

Sazex was about to ask a question.

Seraph, however, preemptively dropped a bombshell with her cloyingly sweet voice, a bombshell capable of shaking the entire underworld.

"To make our beloved underworld a more peaceful, more loving, and more adorable dreamland!"

She raised her star wand high and spoke in a solemn tone, as if announcing a school anniversary celebration.

"I've decided to hold the first-ever [Divine Artifacts☆Shining☆Collection Festival]!"

"All the lovely nobles of the Seventy-Two Pillars are required to hand over all their family members who are reincarnated from humans and possess divine artifacts to the Demon King's Palace for unified safekeeping and to be cherished by all!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the hall.

"what?!"

"This is impossible! This is plundering the very foundation of our family!"

···Requesting flowers··· ···

"Lady Seraph, have you gone mad?!"

Countless nobles slammed their fists on the table, their faces filled with anger and disbelief.

The holders of divine artifacts are the most valuable strategic resource of each family, and the guarantee of their status.

Seraphim's order was tantamount to digging up their ancestral graves!

Despite the agitated crowd of nobles, Seraph's smile remained sweet, but her rose-colored eyes held no warmth whatsoever.

"Eh~? This is no joke,"

She tilted her head, lightly tapped her lips with her index finger, and said, feigning distress.

"This is Livy☆Candy's final decision. Children who don't obey will be punished with 'Love Wave'~Biu~!"

All the nobles' eyes turned to Sazex on the throne.

"Lord Sazex! Please stop her immediately!"

"This order will destroy the underworld!"

Sazex sighed and rose from his throne.

He knew that this moment had finally arrived.

He walked slowly to Seraph, his emerald green eyes looking directly at her.

“Seraph, tell me, is this your intention, or…”

“...What does ‘He’ mean?”

Seraph puffed out her cheeks, like a little hamster whose secret had been exposed, and snorted.

"Sazex-chan is so clueless about romance!"

"This is of course a brilliant plan that Livy☆Sugar came up with in her dream after being inspired by the goddess of love and justice!"

“However…” she changed the subject, her eyes curving into adorable crescents, “‘that’ also said it’s a super awesome idea that can make the underworld even stronger, so it’s definitely right!”

She admitted it without any hesitation.

..... .... ....

Sazex's last shred of hope was utterly shattered.
