This, this, this, this, this, this?
Asia was at a loss, her eyes wide, her skin instantly flushed pink.
Sister Shiho is too bold.
She wanted to avert her gaze, but it was as if she was frozen, unable to move no matter what.
Seeing her reaction, Vermouth said with a smile, "Don't react like that, Shiho is just trying to get stronger."
"???"
Asia was full of question marks.
Does this kind of thing have any connection to getting stronger?
"Actually, it's like this…"
Miyano Akemi hesitated for a moment, then explained.
It's…
Is that how it is?
Asia's eyes became incredibly strange.
Is this familiar she joined a bit too unconventional?
A moment later.
Miyano Shiho left Linde's lips.
Gulp!
She collapsed onto the sofa, her throat moving, as if immersed in some peculiar state.
Her white shirt also outlined her perfect body curves with her breathing.
The undulating, full contours firmly attracted his gaze.
Noticing Linde's gaze, Miyano Shiho straightened her back and reported:
"Oh, Master."
"In the past few days you've been away, the Exorcism Office has been renovated and will be open for business soon."
"I handed out a lot of flyers for this."
Her breathing intensified, and a strange glint flashed in her eyes, as if they could speak.
For a familiar seeking credit, a qualified master should reward and punish fairly.
Linde took out the car keys and slapped them on her face.
Miyano Shiho immediately became excited.
After doing so much, she naturally deserved her reward.
She reached out her hands, her heart pounding with excitement.
"Hey, that's too sneaky."
Vermouth, who was currently explaining familiar knowledge to Asia, was not pleased.
When did this woman become so wicked?
Who exactly is the witch?
She also contributed a lot to the Exorcism Office, so why is all the credit going to you?
She immediately stopped talking and directly pounced over.
No matter what.
Her share couldn't be lost.
For a moment.
The living room became noisy.
"Alright, you are all my familiars, and I will prepare rewards for each of you."
He reached out and grabbed Vermouth, pressing her behind him to prevent a conflict with Miyano Shiho.
"Um, I… I'll leave first."
Leaving these words, Asia completely broke down and fled in a panic.
Linde withdrew his gaze from Asia's retreating figure, then looked at Miyano Akemi: "You also contributed a lot to the Exorcism Office."
"Don't you need me to give you a reward?"
Miyano Akemi's body stiffened, and she quickly said, "No, no need, it's my honor to serve my master."
"In that case, let's remember it. You can come to me whenever you need something."
"I, I understand."
As soon as she finished speaking, Miyano Akemi had already scurried up the stairs.
"Master, I'm going to cook for you all now."
Bang!
Closing the kitchen door, Miyano Akemi sat on a chair, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
She covered her cheeks, her eyes a little unfocused.
"I feel so uncomfortable."
Miyano Akemi felt that this summer was truly making her feel hot, and she couldn't help but cross her arms in front of her, clenching her fingers slightly.
In her mind.
Linde's words unconsciously surfaced.
It seems… her heart is stirring?
Almost instinctively, she placed her hand over her heart, a smile unconsciously appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Should she, too, take that step?
After all.
She would be eaten sooner or later, wouldn't she?
On the other side.
Asia hid in the hallway, still in a state of high flush.
The initial scene alone had a huge impact on her, a new familiar.
But who would have thought.
What followed was even more intense.
Her head was still spinning, completely unable to function.
Is giving rewards to familiars in this way really a master's duty?
Is this really right?
Or is this just the unique lifestyle of demons?
Asia's small pink fists clenched slightly, and she fell into an unprecedented state of confusion.
Will… I also be eaten one day?
She knelt on the ground, praying devoutly, "Almighty Lord, please guide me… Ah, ouch, ouch, ouch…"
... Night gradually fell.
The lights came on silently.
Linde glanced at the clock; it was indeed very late.
"Alright, everyone, clean up."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Linde's words, the two exhausted women began to clean up, each performing their assigned tasks.
Linde also began to check the attributes of the two.
[Miyano Shiho]
[Race: Demon]
[Master: Linde Lucifugus]
[Level: LV16]
[Skill: Heart of Magic]
[Heart of Magic: Any magic in the world holds no mystery for you; you can master it extremely quickly.]
... [Vermouth]
[Race: Demon]
[Master: Linde Lucifugus]
[Level: LV14]
[Skill: Demon Mask]
[Demon Mask: Can freely change appearance, voice, and even aura, perfectly replicating others.]
... "Not bad. It seems Shiho will be able to break through to a higher-ranking demon soon."
As Linde's second Retainer, Shiho also received the most rewards.
It was only natural that her strength improved rapidly.
As for Vermouth, she also worked very hard and didn't fall behind.
"Master, it's all clean now."
"Master, we still need to keep getting stronger."
After casting the cleaning magic, Miyano Shiho and Vermouth wagged their heart-shaped tails like puppies, looking expectantly at Linde.
"Alright, there's still serious business later."
Linde waved his hand and stretched slightly.
According to the information provided by Donasik,
the time they agreed upon was tonight.
Although there was still some time,
it was too short, simply not enough.
Such a blessing,
whether for the Master or the Retainer,
giving up halfway would not be a good thing.
