Chapter 200: I'll Rescue You

"Honey trap?"

Yukina stared at Yukari in disbelief, then pointed at herself, her finger trembling slightly. "Me?"

Yukari nodded solemnly. "After unanimous approval from the higher-ups… Yukina."

"You are undoubtedly the most suitable person to carry out this plan."

Yukina's eyelids twitched hard.

Why…

Does this sound so unreliable?

Yukina hesitated.

Seeing her reaction, Yukari leaned closer to her ear and spoke softly, "Yukina, you wouldn't want Sayaka to be…"

"!"

Yukina's eyes widened instantly.

Yukari continued, her tone full of pity, "Ah… poor Sayaka. You know how afraid she is of men. If she were to… fall into their hands…"

"I really don't know what might happen to her…"

Yukari even pretended to wipe away tears, putting on a sorrowful act.

The image of Sayaka, one of the few friends always by her side, being treated horribly by some man flashed through Yukina's mind. Her heart tightened as she clenched her fists.

"I'll go!"

Yukina's voice was firm.

She had to save Sayaka from the devil's clutches.

Determination burned in her eyes.

Seeing this, Yukari immediately stopped crying, placed both hands on Yukina's shoulders, and said with relief, "Yukina, I knew I could count on you!"

Yukina: "…"

Seeing Yukari like this, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Could it be…

She had been tricked by her master again?

Suspicion flashed through Yukina's eyes.

But…

Yukari's expression remained perfectly calm.

After observing for a while, Yukina couldn't find any flaws in her master's expression. For now, she could only temporarily put aside her doubts.

At the very least…

The fact that Sayaka had been captured by the devil couldn't possibly be a lie.

Her master wouldn't be shameless enough to joke about something like this, right?

"Ahem."

Yukari coughed twice, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and began briefing Yukina on the mission details.

After a while.

Yukina stood quietly, eyes closed, digesting the information.

Lynn.

A senior at Tokyo Private Shuchiin Academy, President of the Supernatural Investigation Club, also known as the President of the Harem Club.

When she heard the words "harem club," Yukina's expression became complicated.

No wonder the master wanted to use a beauty trap. So this was the reason.

He stood at the top of the pyramid, yet his hobby was so vulgar.

But that was precisely why Yukina felt even more anxious.

Sayaka was a beauty after all, with a great figure. If she had truly been captured by a devil so obsessed with building a harem…

Sayaka…

Yukina clenched her fists tightly.

I must rescue Sayaka as soon as possible.

But…

Becoming part of Lynn's harem?

This mission felt delicate in every possible sense.

Yukari continued, "The organization has arranged the transfer procedures for you. You'll be able to enter Shuchiin starting tomorrow."

Yukina pressed her lips together and let out a soft hum.

Seeing this, Yukari nodded with satisfaction and said, "Once you're inside Shuchiin, your main goal is to become one of Lynn's Peerage members."

She explained seriously, "We don't know Sayaka's exact whereabouts right now, but as long as you become one of Lynn's followers, you'll definitely be able to get information on her."

Yukina fell silent, muttering to herself, "Become a Peerage member…"

As an excellent Sword Shaman trained by the Lion King Organization, Yukina knew well what it meant to become a devil's follower.

Becoming a Peerage member meant…

Becoming a devil.

Yukina froze, feeling conflicted.

But when she thought of Sayaka, she sighed helplessly. "I understand."

For Sayaka's sake, she was willing to give up her humanity.

But…

"How will I return to normal after the mission is over?"

Yukina looked troubled.

Yukari's expression froze for a moment, then she gave a forced smile and said awkwardly, "Haha… well, the higher-ups…"

"I'll… do my best to find a solution…"

Yukina's face twitched, staring at Yukari silently.

Looking at her master's guilty expression…

Could it be that there wasn't even a plan for her to return to being human?

Yukari quickly averted her gaze and muttered under her breath, "We'll cross that bridge when we get there…"

"Yukina, you wouldn't want to—"

"Stop!"

Yukina raised her hand, cutting Yukari off before she could say anything more. She took a deep breath and replied calmly, "I'll do it."

Sigh…

Yukari let out a sigh in her heart.

It was called a honey trap.

But in reality, she was sending Yukina directly into the arms of the Maou.

In the worst-case scenario…

Even Sayaka might never return.

Well…

If Yukina found out the truth, would she fight her master to the death?

Yukari felt a little uneasy at the thought.

But there was no other choice.

If her disciple didn't go, it would be Yukari's turn.

Besides…

According to the intel Koyomi Shizuka had brought back, becoming one of Lynn's Peerage members wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

The members of the Supernatural Investigation Club at Shuchiin all seemed to be doing quite well.

Maybe…

This was an opportunity for Yukina too.

After all, becoming a devil's Peerage member wasn't easy.

Yukari consoled herself with this thought, easing her guilt just a little.

Not long after.

Yukina packed her bags and headed toward the rental house near Shuchiin.

The location of the apartment was right next to Lynn's previous residence.

...

Meeting Room.

Shirona Kuraki looked at the visibly depressed Kuroneko and asked expressionlessly, "Has Yukina left?"

The black cat responded weakly with a nod.

Seeing this, Shirona let out a soft sigh of relief.

Hopefully…

Everything would go smoothly.

…

At the same time.

Lynn Group, underground chamber.

A black magic circle appeared out of thin air.

"Master~"

Yukinoshita Haruno immediately rushed toward Lynn upon seeing him.

She hugged Lynn's arm tightly, rubbing herself against him affectionately. "I heard you were attacked, Master. I was so worried."

Lynn hadn't returned to the manor the entire night.

Although everyone knew how strong Lynn was, his Peerage members still couldn't help but worry.

However…

Haruno suddenly paused, sniffing the air around Lynn carefully. A strange glint flashed in her eyes.

It wasn't the scent of any of the girls in the Peerage.

Haruno narrowed her eyes and asked curiously, "Did someone new join the Peerage?"

Lynn nodded.

Haruno immediately followed up confidently, "Someone from the Old Maou Faction?"

Lynn patted her head and praised, "So smart."

Haruno rolled her eyes. "Hmm… Master, don't treat me like a child."

But…

"As expected of Master."

Haruno's expression became a bit strange.

No matter where he went, a harem would naturally form around him.

Speaking of harems, Haruno suddenly remembered something important.

She turned her gaze toward the bound Kirasaka Sayaka and said, "Master, this is her."

Haruno raised an eyebrow like a mama-san showing off her goods. "Well? Not bad, right?"

Lynn rubbed his chin, his gaze sweeping over Sayaka's curvy figure. He nodded in approval. "Very good."

More importantly…

The Evil Piece was indeed glowing faintly.

Another excellent candidate for the Peerage.

Lynn opened the prison cell door and crouched in front of Sayaka.

He reached out, pinched her chin, and lifted her face.

"Mmm…"

Sayaka let out a soft groan.

As if feeling the touch on her face, she frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

Then…

The first thing that came into her view was Lynn's face.

Sayaka froze for a moment, then her eyes widened as she stammered, "M-man… man… man…!!"

Buzz.

Sayaka instantly turned as red as a cooked crab.

Goosebumps rose across her entire body as she trembled uncontrollably.

Her vision blurred, her brain shut down, and her head tilted back as she fainted on the spot.

Her body twitched like a fish out of water.

Lynn: "…"

Haruno: "…"

"She…"

Haruno's expression grew complicated. It was the first time she'd seen something like this.

And it seemed…

She fainted again for no apparent reason.

Lynn explained calmly, "Androphobia."

Although a long time had passed, he still vaguely remembered hearing about it.

"Androphobia?"

Haruno's eyes widened in realization.

No wonder…

So the reason she fainted earlier was because she heard I was coming to punish her?

The corner of Haruno's eye twitched slightly.

This condition…

Isn't this a bit too serious?

Haruno stared at the unconscious Sayaka, then turned to Lynn. "So… what should we do now?"

Lynn's eyes flashed with a strange light. The corners of his lips curled into a faint smile.

"If I want to take her into the Peerage, I'll need to give her some… desensitization training."

Haruno saw the devilish grin on Lynn's face and felt a chill run down her spine.

She turned her gaze back to Sayaka, lying there completely unconscious.

At that moment…

Haruno could only feel deep sympathy for Sayaka.

Because now…

Lynn was truly going to punish her.
