The Anti-Demons Devil

— — — — — — 

Supernatural Research Club

Marin Kitagawa twirled happily, a wide grin lighting up her face.

"This is perfect! Now I can finally cosplay all my favorite characters without holding back!"

She originally came here just to become Lynn's bride, but she got a bonus surprise on top of that!

Seriously this was amazing!!

On the side, Himeragi Yukina twitched slightly as she watched Marin spiral into pure fan-girl mode.

Was... that level of enthusiasm really necessary?

She just couldn't wrap her head around it. She wasn't even looking at Marin anymore—her focus was fixed entirely on the "blessing info" in her hands.

Since Lynn copied it over for her, she could now understand everything.

The display looked just like a video game character sheet: level, base stats, and skill tree.

As she stared at the info, Yukina felt a bit dazed.

So this was the cheat that let people break past their limits.

From the moment the blessing interface appeared—and especially when Marin awakened her skill, "Cosplay Devil"—Yukina knew this system was legit.

Suddenly—A breath of warm air grazed her ear.

Yukina flinched hard and spun to the left.

Her lips landed right on Lynn's cheek.

"!!!"

Her pupils quaked, her entire brain system short-circuited.

Lynn felt the soft touch on his face, raised an eyebrow, and said with a teasing smirk, "Wow, couldn't even wait?"

"Ugh—!" Yukina jumped back, flustered, clamping both hands over her mouth as her cheeks burned.

"Eh?" Marin blinked, surprised, and tilted her head. "She seemed so shy, but she's pretty bold~"

No way! She wasn't gonna let Yukina beat her!

With a small, determined fist pump, Marin leaned forward, tiptoed up, and gave Lynn a soft kiss on the cheek.

She pulled back quickly, breathing fast and face flushed. "I-I can do it too!"

Lynn looked down at Marin in her "Cosplay" form, his expression twitching slightly.

At this rate...

She could team up with Yukinoshita Haruno and Hayasaka Ai. What a trio that'd be.

The "Cosplay Devil" skill wasn't bad at all.

...

Meanwhile, Himeragi Yukina stood there, a little speechless at Marin's sudden move.

She opened her mouth to explain, as she wanted to say—her kiss was totally an accident! He leaned in too close! That wasn't her fault!

Sigh...let it be!

But was it really okay to just join Lynn's familia and try to use her charm on a Devil King, a Maou?

Now that she was actually face-to-face with Lynn, Yukina started doubting everything—her mission, the Lion King Organization... even Endou's decision to send her.

Back then, she was just desperate to save someone and rushed in without thinking.

But now there was no going back. After all, she knew his secret now.

Tightly gripping the club application in her hands, Yukina knew there was no room for naivety.

There were only two options left for her.

Death—or become one of Lynn's harem.

Goddammit, Sensei really threw me under the bus.

Tears nearly formed in Himeragi Yukina's eyes. With a heavy heart, she looked at Lynn and mumbled, "P-Please let me join the Supernatural Research Club."

Lynn crossed his arms. "Then strip."

He already knew her motives weren't exactly pure.

But Lynn never turned away useful people.

Especially not someone willingly handing themselves over to him.

And once she joined his familia—well, she wouldn't have any say from that point on.

Himeragi Yukina stiffened.

Then, with her head down, she let out the tiniest "mm" in response.

Her face burning, she took a few deep breaths and reached for the hem of her shirt, hands trembling.

This was way too humiliating!!

She never thought she'd end up in a situation like this—not in a million years!

Especially not in front of someone she'd just met today!

Still— Himeragi Yukina peeked up at Lynn who was watching her silently.

She clenched her teeth.

Just do it!

Whoosh—

She stripped off her Shuchiin uniform in one clean move!

Her pale skin was now exposed to the air, making her whole body tremble slightly.

At least the light-blue bra still gave her a bit of modesty.

But—That had to come off too.

Himeragi Yukina screamed internally, her eyes flickering in panic from the overwhelming shame.

Thankfully, she still had some sanity left.

Can't make him wait too long.... He was a devil, after all.

She didn't know what kind of person Lynn really was, so best not to test his patience.

With that in mind, she quickly turned around, crouched slightly, and reached behind her back.

Click!

The strap came undone. 

Her skin was already blushing pink all over.

God, this is way too embarrassing!

She wanted to scream, but all she could do was bite her lip and bury her red face between her knees.

Lynn rubbed his chin, scanning her from head to toe.

Every time his eyes passed over her skin, Himeragi Yukina flinched involuntarily.

"So sensitive to stares, huh~"

He smirked slightly.

No point dragging it out. Lynn raised his hand and materialized a devil piece, pressing it directly against her back.

"Mmph…"

Yukina let out a muffled groan from the cold touch.

Then—A surge of power unlike spiritual energy flooded into her!

Her eyes flew wide open as her blood started to boil!

Thump-thump!

Her heartbeat roared in her ears.

Crack!

Something inside her shattered—like invisible chains breaking free.

In an instant, she felt lighter, unshackled. As if something had been unlocked.

The Blessing System!!

That was the only explanation! Her body's potential was fully released!

Her spiritual growth, once painfully slow, now shot upward as if every barrier had been torn away.

It felt... endless!

This was the true power of the blessing system?!

Even now, she didn't dare fully think about what kind of being Lynn really was to command such a force.

Still, Yukina focused on what mattered: her body.

Her power didn't suddenly skyrocket, but she could feel it.

She had devil blood now. And—There was an itch on her back.

Probably wings and a tail like Marin's?

Yukina bit her lip and fought the urge to let them out.

As she tried to figure them out—

A system alert chimed in Lynn's mind:

[Ding! You have gained the follower "Himeragi Yukina"!]

[Ding! Your follower "Himeragi Yukina" has reincarnated as a Special Devil!]

Lynn narrowed his eyes and looked at her back.

A flash of light appeared, and her full blessing info popped up.
