DxD: Building a Demon Clan from Scratch

"Have you made up your mind?"

Miko clenched her fists and nodded firmly.

Lynn reminded her, "Once you become a devil, your life will belong to me. You'll serve me for eternity."

Serve… serve… serve?

Miko's cheeks flushed, and her pupils trembled violently.

Here it comes!

The price of making a deal with a devil!

She secretly glanced at Lynn.

Hmm… it doesn't seem too hard to accept?

Although he's a devil, he's really handsome!

Besides, since she had already made up her mind, there was no room for hesitation!

"N-No problem."

Even though she was determined, she couldn't help feeling shy when saying it out loud.

After all, they were talking about serving…

Lynn played with the Evil Piece in his hand, the corners of his lips curling slightly. "Then let's begin the reincarnation ceremony."

"Ah, yes!"

Miko immediately straightened up, suddenly feeling nervous.

What exactly was the reincarnation ceremony like?

Oh, wait!

Do they have to choose a location?

She glanced left and right at her body, as if trying to determine the best spot.

Seeing this, Utaha couldn't help but comment, "I suggest you choose your back. Based on my experience, that's the best position."

If Lynn hadn't made the decision himself last time, she would have chosen that spot.

Lynn also nodded in agreement.

Having gone through this with Utaha, he now understood why the Gods in DanMachi engraved blessings on the back.

"Alright, then place it on my back."

Miko followed the advice without hesitation and blinked. "Then what?"

Lynn gave a warm, sunny smile and said, "Take off your shirt."

"Huh? H-Huh?! H-Huh?!"

Miko's eyes widened as her face turned bright red. She panicked, flailing her hands in a flustered manner.

W-What's happening?

Is this… the sacrifice stage?!

S-She wasn't ready for this!!

Miko was spiraling into chaos when Utaha, watching from the side, sighed and smacked her forehead.

Clearly, Miko had misunderstood something.

Unable to take it anymore, Utaha quickly clarified, "Relax, he just needs to see your back."

Hearing that, Miko finally calmed down a little.

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath before reopening them.

Though her face was still red, she was noticeably more composed.

"I understand."

Turning around, Miko faced away from Lynn and removed her shirt.

She hugged herself slightly, covering her front, leaving only her smooth, fair back exposed.

"B-Back straps… should I undo them?"

Her voice trembled slightly.

Exposing her back in front of a boy she had just met…

It was embarrassing.

Lynn thought about it for a moment. Since it might obstruct his view, he said, "Undo them."

Miko's body trembled. She took a deep breath before slowly reaching behind her.

Click.

The straps loosened and slid down.

If one looked closely, they could see the slight curves pressed together by her arms.

Lynn didn't let her remain in this state for too long. Without hesitation, he pressed the Evil Piece against her back.

The cold touch sent a shiver through Miko's body.

Like a stone sinking into a lake, the Evil Piece slowly merged into Miko's body upon contact.

Boom!

Miko's pupils dilated, and the sound of her heartbeat echoed through the classroom.

Something was awakening!

At the same time, changes appeared on Miko's back.

Lines of data emerged one after another.

Yotsuya Miko

"Spirit-Seer Devil… it suits Miko perfectly."

Lynn glanced at the status screen, pleased with the outcome. He memorized the data with ease.

Another Peerage member secured!

And once again, it was a special kind of devil.

Utaha also took a look.

"A Summoning-type devil…"

Miko's abilities seemed far more varied than her own. But even so, an Archivist Devil like her was by no means inferior—whether to humans or devils!

What caught her attention was the skill listed under [Spirit-Seer Devil].

This was an ability awakened through reincarnation.

But [Yin-Yang Eyes] was likely something Miko had possessed even before turning into a devil.

Thinking back to her own [Archivist Devil] ability, which had awakened when she became Lynn's first reincarnated devil, Utaha felt a little complicated.

She had assumed she was naturally gifted…

But Miko had more talent than her?

That thought made Utaha a bit depressed.

However, when she saw Lynn's satisfied smile, she relaxed.

At the very least, she was the one who brought him Miko.

That meant she had helped Lynn in some way, right?

With that in mind, Utaha's mood brightened.

After the reincarnation ceremony ended, Miko felt dazed. She clenched her fists and could clearly sense the power surging through her body, far stronger than when she was human.

And… her waist and abdomen felt a bit itchy.

Could it be…?

Miko guessed it was the emergence of her devil wings, just like Lynn's.

Not only that, but there was also a strange sensation at the base of her spine.

Could that be… a devil's tail?

"It's about to slip~"

Utaha, noticing that Miko was too caught up in examining her body, quietly reminded her.

Miko suddenly realized her top was slipping, and she panicked.

Ah!

In her rush, she clumsily clutched her clothes and hurried to put them back on.

Utaha sighed and reached out to help. Click.

She fastened the straps for Miko.

Once fully dressed, Miko blushed and bowed slightly to Utaha. "Thank you."

Utaha waved it off. "You're part of the family now. It's only natural to help each other."

On the other side, Lynn received a notification.
