"Master!"
In a dimly lit room, Sayo, dressed in a cute maid outfit, knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully to the man in front of her.
"Heh… finally made up your mind, huh?"
Sora circled Sayo, examining her closely. He then sat down, lifted her chin, and smirked wickedly.
"Yes, the old Sayo is dead. Now, everything about Sayo belongs to Master."
Her beautiful and cute face showed no trace of emotion as she calmly replied.
Unlike the simple and cheerful country girl from a few days ago, Sayo's demeanor had undergone a drastic transformation. There was no trace of childishness or weakness left; instead, she exuded an icy coldness.
"Everything belongs to me, huh? Well, though everything about you already belonged to me, hearing you say it yourself makes me very happy, my dear Sayo-chan!"
Seeing the girl who no longer resisted him in the slightest, Sora's lips curled into an evil smile. After days and nights of "training," this girl's body and mind had completely submitted to him. This unparalleled sense of satisfaction and achievement was not something one could experience just anytime.
"Since you've made up your mind, it means you'll obey your master from now on, right?"
Not planning to let her off so easily, Sora asked with a mischievous grin.
"Yes, Sayo will carry out any command Master gives."
Having already gained some understanding of the man before her, though she knew he was probably thinking of some twisted idea, Sayo answered without hesitation.
"Then, even if I order you to kill your lifelong companions, Tatsumi and Ieyasu, you would do it, right?"
His smile widened as Sora stared intently at the girl, seemingly eager to see her reaction.
If it were the old Sayo, hearing such words would have caused her expression to change drastically, and she would have refused without a second thought. But now, the girl did no such thing. Instead, an even colder aura erupted from her entire being.
"Yes!"
A flash of killing intent passed through her gem-like eyes, and her voice echoed throughout the room.
"Heh… you've passed the test, my dear Sayo-chan!"
"Now, tell me, what is your wish? Since Sayo-chan has been so obedient, Master can grant you any wish."
With an extremely satisfied expression, Sora pulled the girl into his arms and asked with a smile.
Though he had done all this to enjoy the supreme pleasure of conquering the childhood of the original protagonist, Sora also knew that his methods over the past few days had been somewhat cruel to the girl, both physically and mentally. Now that Sayo had completely submitted to him, he naturally wouldn't treat her like that anymore.
Well, of course, even though she had become his, it was impossible for her not to be "bullied" by him, but it wouldn't be as rough as before, haha…
"Power, I want power!"
Her eyes lit up as she allowed those devilish hands to roam her body. Looking at Sora, Sayo replied with certainty.
"Hahaha, what a clever girl!"
A strange light flashed in his eyes. They say that once a woman matures, she becomes the most terrifying creature in the world. Indeed, in just a few days, this girl had understood the true essence of everything and had completely matured.
"Take it, I've already prepared it for you."
With a wave of his right hand, a delicate and beautiful bow appeared in Sora's grasp. Since Sayo was most skilled with a bow, Sora had specially crafted this weapon for her.
The bow was pitch black, covered in mysterious runes, as if it had completely merged with its surroundings. Sayo was surprised to find that even at such a short distance, she couldn't detect the bow's presence unless she looked carefully!
Taking the bow, a flash of brilliance passed through her eyes. Even the now mature and changed Sayo couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in her heart.
"This bow doesn't require any arrows. It will automatically absorb the energy from your body to form energy arrows. The stronger your power, the greater its strength!"
"Well, of course, the current Sayo-chan can't do that yet, or you'd be drained in an instant."
Leaning close to Sayo's ear, biting her pink earlobe, Sora whispered with a wicked smile.
"Thank you, Master…"
A blush appeared on her cheeks as her voice became as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"Now, since Sayo-chan's wish has been granted, let's form a contract of eternal loyalty."
Hearing Sora's words, Sayo's expression stiffened. She now knew what the so-called contract entailed. Once the contract was formed, there would be no turning back!
However, the girl only lost herself for a moment before quickly regaining her composure. A determined light flashed in her eyes as she decisively leaned forward and pressed her lips against Sora's…
…
"Master, Aria and the others have found Sayo's companion, Tatsumi, and have brought him back."
Just as Sora was about to savor the girl further, Cornelia's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing that Aria and the others had found Tatsumi, both Sora and Sayo were stunned. They hadn't expected this guy to arrive so timely! The current plot had already been thoroughly messed up by Sora, and most of the so-called heroines had already been claimed by him. They had no idea how this guy had managed to find his way here.
"Sayo, stay here for now. Something interesting might happen later!"
About to meet the original protagonist of this world, Sora felt a small sense of anticipation. He smirked and instructed Sayo.
"Yes, Master."
Without joy or sorrow, Sayo replied simply.
In the past, she might have been very happy and excited, but now Sayo found herself feeling nothing. If he hadn't appeared when he should have, what was the point of appearing now…
Remembering how her master had asked if she could carry out the order to kill Ieyasu and Tatsumi, the girl's eyes turned icy cold, and a bloodthirsty smile crept onto her lips…
"Heh… Tatsumi, don't let me down!"
Standing up, Sora muttered to himself with a meaningful tone.
If it were anyone else, Sora wouldn't have bothered, but for this guy, Tatsumi, he had already prepared a thrilling and exciting fate!
Through the mental communication of the contract, Sora summoned Najenda, who was still in the general's mansion.
…
In the general's mansion, Akame and Kurome had just completed an assassination mission and returned home. Kurome-chan habitually leaned on Akame while eating her favorite bear-shaped cookies, looking blissful, while Akame reported the details of the mission to Najenda.
"What's wrong, Najenda?"
Seeing Najenda suddenly stand up with a strange expression, Akame asked with some confusion.
"Hah... go call Leone and Sheele. That boring guy is about to do something tasteless again!"
Rubbing her forehead, Najenda said helplessly. Thinking about the information Sora conveyed through mind communication, Najenda was speechless about that incorrigible guy.
"Oh."
Akame nodded blankly. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she didn't ask anything further.
"Hehehe, something fun must be happening with Master again. Wait for me, Sister!"
Picking up her weapon, March of the Dead [Yatsufusa], Kurome skipped and giggled as she chased after Akame...
