Chapter 514 Die as a Human
This Devil was handsome.
No, that's not right.
He just looked like a human!
Alexia breathed a huge sigh of relief.
She knew it.
How could a Devil appear here silently?
And be so bored as to hand out flyers?
Don't let her find out...
Who was playing such a prank?
But.
This gentleman seemed unfamiliar. Was he a noble who had come to the palace on business?
Just as she was puzzled, Ayato's gaze also deepened.
So that was it.
It was the world of The Eminence in Shadow.
The corner of his mouth curled into a smile.
This world was also quite interesting.
He looked at the little girl in front of him.
And timing-wise, it was good too.
He would take in the future Shadow members in advance.
"This gentleman..."
Alexia hesitated for a moment, then still asked, "How should I address you?"
"I'm Mori Ayato, you can call me Ayato."
"Hello, Mr. Ayato. I am Alexia Midgar, the Second Princess of the Midgar Kingdom."
Alexia said very politely, "May I ask which noble you are?"
"I am not a noble."
"Then how did you get in?"
Alexia stepped back a few paces, both hands gripping her wooden sword tightly.
"Don't be so nervous."
Ayato said speechlessly. "Besides, you were the one who called me here."
"I called you? How could I..."
Halfway through her sentence, Alexia paused.
That did seem to be the case.
"But what does that have to do with how you got in?"
"It has everything to do with it."
"It was your summoning, after all."
"Stop joking. Demon Possession definitely don't look like you..." (T/N: The Author wrote it as Devil Possession, but the original work said Demon Possession, so I used the original work instead.)
Before she could finish, Ayato smiled slightly, and long wings unfurled from his back.
"When did I say I was Demon Possession?"
"I am a real Devil, after all."
Seeing this, Alexia was frozen.
Wings.
A-a tail?
Could he really be a legendary Devil?
Having never expected this situation, Alexia's brain completely short-circuited.
Devils, which only existed in records, had actually appeared in the world.
Oh my god, what had she done?
Ayato shook his head.
One after another, they were all like this.
You summoned me, but when you see a real Devil, you can't accept it.
It was exhausting.
Ayato withdrew his wings and got straight to the point. "I will grant your wish."
"W-wish."
Alexia blinked.
Oh, right.
She did say she wanted better talent.
Could this Devil, different from the legends, actually keep his word?
If so...
Summoning a Devil might not be a bad thing.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke.
"Devil, um, Mr. Ayato, how do you plan to give me better talent?"
She knew very well how difficult this wish was.
Because she was the kingdom's Second Princess.
Born into nobility.
If such a method existed, she would have been transformed long ago.
Talent...
Was simply too unreasonable.
"Very simple."
Ayato smiled slightly. "By reincarnating you as a Devil."
"You can have talent far surpassing humans."
Hearing this, Alexia's pupils contracted violently.
Becoming one of those ugly beings...
What kind of joke was this?
"No. I don't agree."
Alexia waved her hands in panic.
Oh my god, what had she done?
The wish she just made was definitely the worst decision she had ever made.
Two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
After all, she was still just a child.
Ayato shrugged and chuckled. "It doesn't matter if you don't agree. How I complete the task is my business."
As he spoke, he was also multitasking, planning for this world.
First.
Acquiring knowledge.
This world had all sorts of strange things and a relatively complete training system.
He could probably harvest quite a bit, gaining a large number of Origin points.
Second.
Recruiting servants.
This had to be done immediately.
There were many servants with excellent aptitude that needed to be claimed in advance.
Alexia: "..."
What should she do? It seemed like there was no room for negotiation.
But.
She took a deep breath and said with utmost seriousness, "Mr. Ayato, if I must become an ugly monster..."
"Then please take my life."
Although her aptitude wasn't high...
She had her own dignity and pride.
If she became one of those Demon Possession things, she would definitely be shamed.
Better to...
Die as a human.
She hoped.
This Mr. Devil wouldn't forcefully grant her wish.
