My name is Yuko Kanoe.
A high school girl.
Though dead decades.
Still a high school girl.
Stuck here all these years.
But today.
Met three exorcists—truly dying.
All Yuko Kanoe's deepest thoughts.
"Um… we're not bad people."
Ayase Mayu saw Yuko trembling; hurriedly persuaded.
Right—exorcists good?
Yuko still shook; felt imminent erasure.
Kaiser spoke. "No worry—if eliminate, why talk this much."
Yuko paused.
True.
Weakly. "Really… no harm?"
"Of course."
Kaiser smiled. "Even benefits."
"What benefits?"
Yuko blinked.
"My peerage."
Kaiser smiled. "Contract—lifelong service to me."
"Sounds no benefit."
Yuko retorted; sighed.
"Though your face my type."
"But useless—bound spirit; can't leave."
Hearing, Kaiser. "No issue—ritual makes devil; free."
"W-Wait—devil?"
Ayase interjected.
Heard something huge.
Kaiser silent; unfurled devil wings.
Whoosh!
Eerie aura gusts diffused.
"Y-Y-You really devil?"
Ayase shook uncontrollably—like Yuko.
"Genuine."
Kaiser smiled; slipped contract her hand. "No worry—no harm."
"Trouble—call name."
"…"
Ayase eyed devil summoning contract; near tears.
Just occult fan.
Now?
Direct high-tier—devils?
Swallowed; careful. "Um… keep this—leave?"
"Of course."
Kaiser gestured please.
"Um, hehe—nice meeting."
Ayase head low; dared not look Kaiser; fled.
"Uh… Master—just let go?"
Yukino puzzled.
If so.
Her choice then?
Kaiser smiled meaningfully. "Relax—she stepped in."
"No one resists mystery embrace."
Yukino paused; thoughtful nod. "So."
Self-reflect.
If her.
Knowing transcendent thrilling world—enter likely.
Master's choice.
Merely accelerated.
Most importantly.
Devil short time.
Lingering regret vanished.
Frankly.
Heaven-sent opportunity.
"Thought cursed spirit outrageous."
Yuko recovered; complicated. "But devils exist?"
"Not just devils."
Kaiser shrugged. "Angels, fallen angels, gods, buddhas—all real."
"Answer?"
Yuko silent moment; radiant smile. "Honor your peerage."
Leave here.
Devil—trivial.
But…
Trepid. "Cursed spirit—no body. Devil possible?"
"Trust me."
Kaiser eyed glowing contract; lips curved.
"Mm-hmm."
Yuko nodded; curious. "What do?"
Devil ritual—intriguing.
"First…"
Kaiser finger; golden blood. "Remove outer clothes."
"???"
Yuko blinked; playful. "Ara ara—devil ritual spicy."
Speaking; unbuttoned slowly.
Watching, Yukino retorted. "Thought ghosts no clothes."
"Many cursed spirits illusory clothes."
Yuko explained. "Don't lump me with them."
"Still living beautiful high school girl."
Words fell; black undergarment only.
Eyed Kaiser; shy. "More prep?"
Though lived near century life-death.
Exposed man first.
"Can."
Kaiser nodded; dripped blood fair skin.
"So hot…"
Touch; Yuko joyful.
Centuries first sensation.
Then!
Eyes widened; body drastic change.
Flesh regenerated; skin formed.
Body regained.
And…
Touched back; unprecedented itch.
"Something… emerging."
Words fell.
Long black wings burst forth.
Heart-tipped tail from black skirt; wagged air.
"Really devil…"
Yuko joyful; curiously gripped tail—whole body quivered.
Fair skin instantly pinkened.
Deep breath; hurriedly retracted tail and wings.
Yuko stole glance Kaiser.
Earlier—not noticed?
But soon.
Felt gaze.
Turned—met gem-like eyes.
"Ahaha—something?"
Yuko embarrassed.
"N-Nothing."
Yukino mouth twitched; inward. "Tail touch—big reaction?"
Ignoring duo dialogue.
Kaiser fully drawn skin text.
