"Really?"
"Really? I might as well work hard for the Devil King in the future, and then live a good life with Shirone!"
"Don't lie to me, sister."
"How could I lie to my beloved sister?"
"Well, Shirone believes in sister..."
Maybe she was really tired. Soon, the young cat girl fell asleep on the soft and comfortable big bed.
"Alas~"
Kuroka sighed quietly.
Having said that, Kuroka really has no idea what her future will be like.
"!?"
Suddenly, the cat ears on Kuroka's head twitched and she looked around.
Then, trying not to make any noise so as not to wake her sister, Kuroka tiptoed out of the room and quickly reached a courtyard at the back of the palace.
The courtyard is very beautiful during the Spring Festival Gala.
The branches and leaves of the trees swayed gently in the night breeze, the flowers sleeping in the flower beds reflected the bright moonlight falling from the night sky, and the roses that matched the solemn corridors stretched all the way to a lake in the distance.
Kuroka had no intention of appreciating such a dreamy scenery.
Because against the backdrop of the darkness, there were three familiar figures.
A young devil king with black hair and red eyes was sitting cross-legged on a finely carved bench. On his left and right were devil girls with silver hair and eyes and black hair and twin ponytails.
"Kuroka, I meet Absolute Evil-sama, Grayfia-sama, and Serafall-sama!"
The cat-girl knelt down, bowed her head to the three people, and greeted them respectfully.
"It's coming faster than I thought."
Ryan smiled indifferently and looked at the cat-girl.
Being stared at by those scrutinizing eyes, Kuroka couldn't help but shrink her neck, feeling a little frightened, but she didn't dare to say much.
"Kuroka."
"Yes, yes!"
Hearing the call, Kuroka's cat ears trembled suddenly, and she immediately raised her head and looked at the young devil king who called her.
Because she knew very well that the other party's next words would determine her and her sister's fate of life or death.
"How about becoming my 'dependent'?"
Ryan asked in a leisurely tone.
"....."
Kuroka's mouth was slightly open, her eyes were blank, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Why, you don't want to?"
Kuroka immediately shook her head, "No, it's not!"
The absolute ruler of the Underworld Devil Territory, the only Devil king "Absolute Evil", has so many people who want to see him, let alone become his "followers" and servants.
Becoming his "follower" means that you will become the closest person to the "devil king", and the status and benefits that come with it are countless! As long as you are from the underworld, I'm afraid no one will refuse.
Moreover, for Kuroka, who had been accustomed to a hard life since childhood, this was something she dared not even think about.
"Absolute Evil-sama, I want to ask..."
Kuroka was only halfway through her words when she stopped abruptly due to the sudden chill that swept through her body.
The person emitting this aura was none other than the silver-haired devil girl, Grayfia Lucifuge.
The extremely cold gaze seemed to be warning Kuroka not to say anything beyond the line.
"It's okay, let her talk."
Ryan's nonchalant attitude made Grayfia restrain herself and turn back into the gracious and gentle maid.
"Just say whatever you want to say."
After getting the king's permission, Kuroka continued what she had just said.
"Absolute Evil-sama, if I become your 'follower', then my sister..."
It turns out that she is worried about her younger sister. She is really a qualified sister who loves her younger sister.
"Don't worry. I also like your sister, Shirone. If you are willing to behave well, her treatment will definitely not be too bad."
"Thank you very much!"
Upon hearing this, Kuroka's brows suddenly lit up with joy. She immediately lowered her head and declared her loyalty.
"I am willing to be your 'follower'!"
"very good."
Looking at the cat girl who showed no trace of gloom or reluctance, Ryan nodded with satisfaction.
"Anyway, take this first."
As he spoke, a Bishop chess piece emitting a strange light appeared at Ryan's fingertips and flew towards Kuroka's position.
"This, this is…"
Kuroka looked at the completely black Bishop chess piece in front of her with a surprised expression.
Before this, she had seen the "devil piece" in the hands of the female devil Naberius once. However, the chess piece at that time was completely different from the one in front of her!
In comparison, the 'devil piece' used to reincarnate her before was as inferior as the worst defective product.
"ah!?"
Serafall, who was standing aside and watching this scene, exclaimed.
Then, she puffed her cheeks, looked at her king, and pleaded in a coquettish tone.
"Ryan-sama, I want it too~ I want it too~!"
"want to?"
Feeling the eager gaze, Ryan smiled happily, then shook the 'Bishop' and Pawn chess pieces between his fingertips, and said in a teasing tone.
"Will you choose my soldiers or this bishop?"
I want them all!!
Although she wanted to say that, Serafall said awkwardly, "Of course it's a Bishop like Miss Kuroka!"
According to normal conversion, the value of a bishop chess piece is equivalent to three soldier chess pieces.
Even though she has been teased as "not very smart" ever since she was captured and imprisoned by Ryan, it doesn't mean she is really not very smart.
Although what Serafall really wanted was the castle piece, which was worth five soldiers, among the remaining pieces, but it was totally incompatible with the characteristics of her power, so she could only choose the bishop piece, which increased her magic power.
As for the king chess piece above these, forget it... She is not that stupid. After all, Grayfia, who is a great contributor, was only rewarded with the queen chess piece below these~.
