Chapter Index

    After finishing Shigure’s training.

    Swish-

    Do Yu-jin lightly touched the [Hatred of the Palace (7★)] that was already on her face during the training process, and wrapped the coat made using [You in Black and White Clothes (6★)] around herself.

    Could it be that in the process of absorbing Tamamo’s memories and growing her characteristics, she accidentally ended up using the characteristic of manipulating light as material?

    Originally, it was a dull black coat that wouldn’t reflect a single ray of light even if you shined a flashlight on it, but now it had a thin white line drawn on the end like a pattern.

    Well, I wasn’t particularly worried about it.

    It is used for disguise, but as the characteristics have been raised to the historical level, the restriction of having to wear a coat first to properly use the ability has become meaningless.

    After wrapping the mask and coat, which can be called the identity of a ghost, around his body with familiar movements, he transformed from an ordinary student in the circle to an unidentified ghost.

    Hit-

    Do Yu-jin took her first step and continued walking quietly without making any sound.

    Could it be because [Transparent and Distorted Existence (6★)] was activated to its fullest strength?

    Even when he stepped on a leaf or brushed against a blade of grass, no sound was revealed around Do Yu-jin.

    As I walked through the forest for a while, maintaining that state, I came across an empty lot that seemed familiar, perhaps because I had been here once before.

    And at the center of it all.

    “Ah… … ”

    “Looks like you’re here.”

    A woman with long red hair who burned the darkness and a woman with short silver hair who repelled the darkness stood together under the night sky.

    ◎ ◎ ◎

    I didn’t hear any footsteps or anything.

    But should we say it’s some kind of instinct or intuition?

    “Ah… … ”

    As I turned my head absentmindedly, I saw a ghost approaching me silently, like a tiger without any sound, just like the first time I saw it before.

    Could it be because I felt such a strong sensation when I first saw it?

    Rias watched him approaching her as if possessed by something, feeling as if her heart was beating faster than before.

    At the same time, she felt a little freshness in this situation.

    Obviously, the situation itself was similar to last time.

    But unlike back then, now I couldn’t feel scared or nervous as I watched him slowly approaching me.

    Glance-

    ‘You even let me notice a little while ago… … Did you perhaps acknowledge us as business partners and show consideration by erasing your presence?’

    Of course, that wasn’t the case.

    ‘Whew, never let your concentration go. Be careful, as if you were walking on a knife, but always keep a speed that doesn’t arouse unnecessary suspicion… ‘

    The reason Do Yu-jin is trying to erase her presence as much as possible right now is not for their sake, but for her own safety.

    If the tension was let down and [the beauty of the country (10★)] and [the master of pleasure (10★)] were to leak out to the two of them, I couldn’t even imagine what kind of aftermath would come.

    Did Rias find Doyujin approaching?

    That was just a coincidence.

    But anyway, Rias, who didn’t know this fact, couldn’t help but think that he was killing their momentum out of consideration for them.

    ‘As expected, he is a good person.’

    When Rias felt a bit of a daze at that fact.

    Knock knock-

    Yorbi, who had been quietly watching the situation while taking a step back, reached out and lightly patted Rias on the back.

    A signal to come to your senses.

    ah-!

    Thanks to that, Rias came back to her senses and coughed slightly before taking out a small USB from her bosom and handing it to Doyujin.

    “What is this?”

    “Here’s some information on how we used the potion you gave us last time and how we’re going to use it.”

    After making a brief contact with Do Yu-jin, Rias immediately went to the British mainland to harass the researchers and finance department under her command.

    Thanks to that, she was barely able to build a system line in her image that could efficiently research, produce, and sell the potion Do Yu-jin had given her before this time came today.

    And now, what Rias gave to Doyujin was a tearful report that she had meticulously organized and written down without even sleeping properly.

    Do Yu-jin quietly accepted him, then looked back and forth between the USB in her hand and Rias for a moment.

    ‘What is it? It feels incredibly heavy compared to how much the USB looks like… ‘

    Do Yu-jin thought about that as she connected the USB to her device and glanced at the information contained within.

    I was worried for a moment about things like hacking, but there were no problems.

    Because Do Yu-jin’s device was immune to all kinds of hacking and intrusions through the [Production] function of the [Shop].

    It wasn’t that he was just giving out device numbers to the heroines without any preparation.

    Gulp-

    Rias’s throat twitched with tension as she watched Do Yu-jin move her eyes and fingers.

    The moment Do Yu-jin took her eyes off the device and asked the first question, I had to answer the question naturally and without hesitation.

    ‘This is an important position, so you absolutely cannot make a mistake!’

    While Rias was thinking about the presentation materials she had prepared while staying up all night with Yorubi,

    Swish-

    Do Yu-jin simply checked the number of pages and then put the device and USB back into her arms.

    “Huh? Huh!”

    Rias, who saw that sight, unconsciously let out a word filled with despair and bewilderment, then hurriedly raised a hand to cover her mouth.

    But that doesn’t mean the sounds that had already been said would disappear.

    Glance-

    Do Yu-jin gave her a brief glance and said.

    “It seems like a lot of content, so I’ll go back and read it.”

    “Ah, yes… … ”

    At Do Yu-jin’s words, Rias just nodded with a blush on her face in embarrassment.

    But Rias, unable to let go of her foolish feelings, continued to glance at his arms even in that state.

    On the other hand, Yorbi just stood there quietly, without any disturbance.

    Although Rias was being so noisy that she decided to hang out with him for a while, it seemed like she had anticipated this kind of situation would unfold.

    When the atmosphere unexpectedly relaxed a little, Do Yu-jin looked at them and asked.

    “Looking at the fact that you brought this much of a proposal with the potion I gave you, it seems like you don’t dislike the item.”

    After hearing Do Yu-jin’s words, Rias looked at Do Yu-jin with a calm, composed face, as if she had never blushed before.

    And Do Yu-jin looked straight into Rias’s red eyes that were quietly burning as she looked at him and asked.

    “Should I take that to mean you’ve made up your mind?”

    What he had previously demanded in exchange for an alliance.

    The oath of the knight who makes the article.

    “Yes… … ”

    Thinking of him, Rias nodded.

    In fact, it goes without saying that even she was feeling anxious or nervous about the situation.

    ‘It’s okay, trust my eyes.’

    But Rias quietly closed her eyes and consoled her feelings.

    And I tried my best to ignore the pounding of my heart and keep my head cool.

    ‘Even if my eyes were wrong, it wouldn’t be a problem. If I sacrifice one person, I can give victory to the three princesses. Then it’s a good deal.’

    The moment she opened her lips, steeling her resolve.

    “Please wait a moment.”

    Just slightly faster than Rias could speak, Yorbi, who had been quietly remaining silent behind her, took a step forward.

    “Yorbi?”

    Rias opened her eyes wide in bewilderment at her sudden behavior.

    “What the heck are you doing all of a sudden… … ”

    And the moment she was about to reach out and grab Yorbi, who suddenly walked out.

    dump-

    “Huh?”

    She stumbled and fell to the floor, still trying to reach out to Yorbi.

    “What, why is my body like this all of a sudden… … ”

    While Rias was flustered by the unexpected situation, Yorbi quickly and with restrained movements took out a clean piece of cloth from his bosom.

    Kook-

    He approached Rias, who was still in a state of confusion, and tied her body tightly, but carefully so as not to cause any injuries.

    “Why on earth… … ”

    “You only want to see the bright and clean side of the world.”

    When Rias asked with her slightly numb tongue rolling, Yorbi avoided her gaze and whispered softly in her ear.

    “In reality, the reality is so dark that I, who have served you with all my heart since you were young, could betray you like this.”

    “Yorbi… … ”

    “… … I’m sorry, Miss.”

    “Jorbi said, tying the knot.

    “But even if you want to give up on yourself, I can never give up on you, so please understand.”

    Kook-

    “If you wake up after a short sleep, it will all be over.”

    Only then did Rias realize what Yorubi was thinking. She opened her eyes wide and tried to stop her urgently, but it was impossible in her current state.

    Swish-

    Yorbi ignored Rias’ gaze and got up.

    Just as someone had thought earlier, she also thought that if she could protect the person she served by sacrificing herself, it would be a worthwhile deal.

    Yorvie, who had gotten up like that, approached Doyujin with the quiet steps of a skilled maid.

    Ssuk-

    She bowed politely to the man she had been wary of since they first met, and had even recently called him a devil in her heart.

    “Ghost. Could you please let me make the oath that our young lady should make instead?”
