The next day.
Afternoon, at the entrance of the Supernatural Investigation Department.
Yukino Yukinoshita came here again.
Afraid of what happened yesterday, she came immediately after class ended this time.
Yui Yuigahama came with her.
That's right.
The two had a heart-to-heart talk yesterday.
Yui Yuigahama didn't think that her current situation was caused by Yukino Yukinoshita.
After all, it was she who insisted on joining in the first place, so naturally she couldn't blame it on others.
Moreover…
This matter, it's better to solve it herself.
She can't just call on Yukino for help every time she's in danger, right?
Not only would it be troublesome for Yukino, but she was also afraid it would be too late!
Even if it's the harem club, it's still…
Yui Yuigahama's face flushed slightly.
If she, if she steps through this door, she, she might be Mr. Lynn's woman?
Thinking of this, she felt like her whole body was burning.
However…
In the end, it's just her and Yukino's guess.
To know the truth, they have to see it with their own eyes.
The only thing they can be sure of is that everyone in the Supernatural Investigation Department possesses supernatural powers!
That's enough!
"Let's go, Yuigahama-san."
Yukino Yukinoshita spoke.
Compared to yesterday, she was much more composed.
After all, she had already prepared herself mentally yesterday.
And…
After yesterday's misunderstanding, her thoughts became clearer.
That awkward emotion had long since disappeared.
Yukino Yukinoshita was now worried about whether Lynn would allow her to join.
"Yeah!"
Yui Yuigahama nodded firmly beside her.
Her hands were clenched tightly, clearly a bit nervous.
Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, her eyes resolute, and her slender hand gripped the handle, pulling it open!
*Whoosh*—
What came into view was a half-open window, curtains swaying in the breeze, and…
Lynn sitting in the main seat, and Shiina Mahiru serving him tea.
Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly dazed, as if she saw an angel and a devil.
She quickly shook her head, casting that image out of her mind.
An angel and a devil, how could that be?
Lynn raised his eyes, his red gaze falling on Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama.
"Ho? Rare guests, aren't you?"
Lynn was slightly surprised, it had been some time since Yukino Yukinoshita pushed open the door of the Supernatural Investigation Department again.
He picked up the black tea that Mahiru had brewed for him and took a sip.
Then he quietly looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama.
Shiina Mahiru smiled slightly, "Do the two of you have a new request?"
"A request…"
Yukino Yukinoshita murmured, then said, "It's about that."
The next second, she bowed her head and said, "Please allow us to join the Supernatural Investigation Department!"
Seeing this, Yui Yuigahama also hurriedly bowed her head, her hands clenched together, her heart uneasy.
Lynn paused slightly, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita with interest, "I remember, you're not the type to act like this, are you?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's heart tightened, thinking of what happened when she first came to the Supernatural Investigation Department.
Is this the Supernatural Investigation Department?
Sorry, I thought I had wandered into some harem club.
Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, somewhat admiring her past self.
Really, ignorance is bliss…
Now, she no longer had that kind of courage.
"Sorry, I was too ignorant at the time…"
After breaking through her psychological barrier, Yukino Yukinoshita felt that everything she said seemed to be simpler.
After all…
She had stepped into the Supernatural Investigation Department with the determination to become a part of Lynn's harem.
Lynn paused, a trace of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Yukino Yukinoshita.
Is this really Yukino Yukinoshita?
Feeling Lynn's strange gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, avoiding his gaze.
To be honest, although she had made up her mind, a woman's reserve made her feel ashamed.
It was just forcibly suppressed by her reason.
She took a deep breath and requested again, "Department Head Lynn, please allow us to join the Supernatural Investigation Department!"
Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly trembling, her heart uneasy.
She was afraid of Lynn's rejection.
After all, compared to Lynn's familiars, she had no advantages.
Lynn was silent, his hand caressing the warm teacup.
Seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's breathing stagnated, and a slight sweat broke out on her forehead.
Yui Yuigahama's palms were sweating profusely, extremely nervous.
She really didn't want to live another moment of this life surrounded by cursed spirits!
The Supernatural Investigation Department fell into an eerie silence.
After a while.
Lynn spoke, "Mahiru, give them two application forms."
"Yes, Mr. Lynn."
Shiina Mahiru smiled slightly, then handed Yukino Yukinoshita two application forms.
Taking the application form, Yukino Yukinoshita looked dazed and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But the hand that took the application form was still trembling slightly.
"Yuigahama-san, here."
Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was a little distorted.
A few breaths later, the sound of a pen scratching on paper echoed from the Supernatural Investigation Department.
Along the way, Lynn spoke again, "Are you sure you want to join the Supernatural Investigation Department?"
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama stopped at the same time, exchanging a look with each other, and both saw the other's determination.
They really couldn't bear these days of anxiety and fear anymore!
"We're sure!" x2
Their voices were filled with determination.
Lynn's eyes held a hint of amusement, "Then do you know what joining the Supernatural Investigation Department means?"
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama both shuddered.
"J-Joining the harem?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's voice trembled.
Lynn: "…You could say that."
As expected!
But having expected it, she actually breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the result.
Lynn slightly curled his lips.
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama were at most at the level of a lower-level demon.
But Lynn still decided to bring them into his family.
Although, now a single lower-level demon couldn't provide him with any real benefits.
But what if they could transform into special demons?
Every special demon was an important talent for his family!
Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief after completing the application forms, they heard Lynn say, "Next, let's begin the real joining ceremony."
"The real…"
"Joining ceremony?"
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama were both surprised.
Lynn held his chin, his red eyes seemed to glow.
"Take off your clothes."
Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama's eyes widened!
"T-Take off our clothes?!"
Yui Yuigahama blushed, exclaiming in surprise.
The j-j-joining ceremony, i-i-is it?!
N-Now?
H-Here?
Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lip, but her actions were decisive.
She had already realized it yesterday.
She had to be as obedient as possible since she was asking for help!
She had already prepared herself for it!
It was just that she hadn't expected it to be so fast.
Huff…
It didn't take long for Yukino Yukinoshita to take off her school uniform, revealing her flat figure.
Yukino Yukinoshita's breathing was rapid, a little breathless, and her ears felt incredibly hot.
Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino Yukinoshita's decisiveness with surprise, then also trembled and took off her school uniform.
Seeing their backs exposed, Lynn said, "That's enough."
Hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they lowered their hands from their skirts and subconsciously crossed their arms in front of their chests, hiding themselves.
Yukino Yukinoshita was a little puzzled.
Only halfway?
Why?
A test of obedience?
There were many questions in her mind.
Then she saw Lynn conjure two chess pieces out of thin air.
Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes froze.
She saw it again, the supernatural power.
Seeing this scene was enough to make her feel that everything she was doing now was worth it.
"Demon chess pieces…"
Lynn gave a brief introduction.
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama's small mouths gaped slightly.
So that's how it was…
Department Head Lynn was a demon…
However…
At this point, neither of them had any other emotions about becoming a demon.
So what if they became a demon? As long as they could gain power and get rid of their current situation, anything was fine!
Anything at all!!
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama turned around, facing away from Lynn, exposing their smooth backs.
Lynn pressed the demon chess pieces onto their spines.
*Buzz*—
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama trembled.
Power, it was pouring in!
At the same time, the system's voice rang in Lynn's ears.
[Ding! You have gained family members, Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama!]
[Ding! Your family members have been reborn as special demons…]
Their backs revealed their respective blessing information.
