"Fine—remove outer clothes."
"Huh?"
Miko's eyes widened; mind blanked.
R-Remove clothes.
What situation?
Devil—body first?
Unprepared.
"No misunderstanding—just mark."
Kaiser extended finger; golden blood seeped.
"Oh."

"Sure."
Kaiser snapped; magic circle ground.

"Now fine."
"Mm."

Eyed Kaiser—body burning.
"Master—new peerage."
Movement noise; Shiho Miyano's group appeared living room.
Miko: "…"
What?
So many?
Watched?
Worse than alley.
Miko inward panic; near tears.
But now.
Face it.
"Closer."
"Mm!"
Miko trembled; stepped forward slowly.
Mind inevitable improper scenes.
So many.
Surely not?
Distracted; ears burning.
Scalding touch on skin.
Instinctive glance down—golden blood flowed.
Then!
Brilliant light blinded; muffled groan.
Something surging within.
Heartbeat accelerated; power coursed blood.
Flesh and cells remade; gritted teeth.
Endure.
Sound—embarrassing.
Then!
Mysterious runes surfaced skin; drew Kaiser's attention.

Wait.
Something wrong?
Mmm…

Long after.
"Phew phew!"
