"......"

After listening to Akira's words, Hayasaka Nao remained silent for a long time.

"Akira-sama, when did you notice?" Hayasaka Nao's red lips parted as she spoke.

"Quite early on," Akira replied honestly.

After realizing that Hayasaka Nao was the same Hayasaka Nao he knew, Akira began to suspect whether she was involved in the same kind of work as her daughter.

Her daughter, Hayasaka Ai, was a spy planted beside Shinomiya Kaguya.

So, could Hayasaka Nao be a spy planted beside him?

It was precisely because of this suspicion towards Hayasaka Nao and the proactive investigation he conducted that Akira was able to discover her obsessive side.

...

Fortunately, Hayasaka Nao hadn't done anything out of line.

Otherwise, Akira would have likely been taken away by the old Maou or the fallen angels by now.

.....

"Now that you know my identity, Akira-sama, what do you plan to do?" Hayasaka Nao pursed her lips and asked.

Akira looked directly at Hayasaka Nao.

"I don't plan to hold you accountable. After all, this is your job."

"Not only have you taken good care of me, but you've also concealed the fact that I've been purifying various items and trading with other factions."

"Regardless, I should thank you."

"So, Nao-san, I'll give you two choices now."

"Choice one: accept my Evil Piece, stay by my side, pledge your loyalty to me, and become completely mine."

"Choice two: have all memories related to me erased and leave my side."

After hearing Akira's proposal, Hayasaka Nao smiled wryly.

"Akira-sama is truly merciful. I originally thought you wouldn't allow someone like me to stay by your side."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Absorbing my Evil Piece signifies absolute loyalty to me. I will fully trust anyone who absorbs my piece."

"So, Nao-san, what is your choice....."

Akira looked at Hayasaka Nao, awaiting her decision.

"Haah~"

Hayasaka Nao let out a deep breath, as if exhaling all her hesitation.

"I choose... to absorb your Evil Piece and continue staying by your side."

Hayasaka Nao made the choice Akira had anticipated.

The blue-level mission wasn't particularly difficult, which was why Akira dared to confront her directly.

....

A black "Pawn" Evil Piece materialized in Akira's hand and flew into Hayasaka Nao's grasp.

Without any complications, Hayasaka Nao quickly completed the absorption of the piece.

[Ding!~]

[Congratulations, host, for completing the mission!]

[Mission Level: Blue.]

[Mission Event: Elimination of a Hidden Threat.]

[Congratulations, host, for receiving the reward: Observation Resistance Barrier.]

[Observation Resistance Barrier: As the name suggests, a protective layer that resists any form of observation or inspection.

As long as the host desires, the host can pass through any mechanical or powerful being's detection without being noticed.

Moreover, the host can even falsify data to appear as another race.]

"This is a good thing."

"With this, I don't have to worry about the current Maou conducting any inspections on me."

"This ability is a must-have for spies. If I wanted to, I could even falsify data to appear as a fallen angel!"

Akira felt much more at ease and casually cast an Appraisal Eye on Hayasaka Nao.

[Name: Hayasaka Nao (♀)]

[Level: LV125 (Mid-tier High-class Devil)]

[Attribute Evaluation]

[Note: Strength within the same level.]

[Strength: C+ → B]

[Speed: C → B]

[Magic Power: C+ → B]

[Physical Durability: C → B]

[Martial Arts/Spell Proficiency: D+ (An average reincarnated devil, even on the lower end among reincarnated devils. Without special opportunities, she would never become a High-class Devil.)]

[Sacred Gear/Bloodline Ability: C → B+ (Sacred Gear, Observer, capable of targeted reconnaissance and information gathering. After absorbing the mutated Evil Piece, it will soon reach Balance Breaker.)]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: C → B-tier High-class Devil]

[Overall Review: Originally an ordinary reincarnated devil with a Sacred Gear for information gathering. After absorbing the host's purified energy, she evolved, advancing to a High-class Devil.

After absorbing the mutated Evil Piece, the Sacred Gear "Observer" officially activated its Balance Breaker, granting exceptional abilities in information gathering.]

....

After reading Hayasaka Nao's appraisal panel, Akira's expression turned subtle.

Wow.

A High-class Devil?

It seems Hayasaka Nao has gained quite a lot of benefits from him.

Now he understood why Hayasaka Nao had been acting like an obsessed woman in private.

She had likely been influenced by his succubus bloodline while enjoying the benefits he provided, making it impossible for her to leave him.

"Nao-san, come to my room tonight. I have some questions for you."

"Huh?"

"Understood."

Hayasaka Nao was initially startled but then lowered her head, her face red as she agreed to Akira's request.

....

That night.

Hayasaka Nao, dressed in a white-stockinged maid outfit, knocked on Akira's door.

As soon as the door opened, she knelt before Akira, offering devoted service to her master.

"Tsk~"

Akira hadn't expected Hayasaka Nao to be so direct.

The high-dimensional succubus bloodline was truly terrifying.

"Since that's the case, Nao-san, continue while I ask my questions."

"Mmm....."

Hayasaka Nao responded in a muffled voice. In her current state, this was the best she could manage.

Confirming that Hayasaka Nao was still lucid, Akira began his questioning.

"Since you're a spy, Nao-san, who exactly sent you to my side?"

"After sending you to me, what specific tasks were you assigned?"

"How do you report information to your superiors?"

"How much do your superiors know about me?"

"If we work together to conceal it, can we continue to keep it hidden?"

"Mmm..."

After drinking Akira's purified energy-filled gift, Hayasaka Nao slowly raised her head and parted her red lips.

Akira was sure he wasn't mistaken—he saw pink hearts in Hayasaka Nao's blue eyes.

"Akira-sama, I will answer your questions now."
