Hitagi Senjougahara said noncommittally, "It's because Mr. Devil didn't hide it at all, right."
"Because of the peculiarity on me?"
Hitagi Senjougahara analyzed calmly, "Or because of my looks, which are decent enough to pass?"
She subconsciously thought of the nickname Harem Club.
It felt like...
She had discovered some truth.
A devil keen on collecting a harem?
Lynn didn't deny it at all, but instead said generously, "It's both."
"However..."
Lynn's gaze deepened, "The most important reason is simply that you have the qualifications to stand by my side."
Hitagi Senjougahara was taken aback.
The qualifications to stand by a devil's side?
Because of what?
Hitagi Senjougahara couldn't quite figure it out.
Apart from the curse of the Heavy Crab, she felt she didn't have anything special about her.
Hitagi Senjougahara contemplated for a moment.
But...
Since she couldn't figure it out, she decided not to think about it!
Hitagi Senjougahara decisively gave up on thinking, then stared at Lynn, her eyes flickering.
This was an opportunity!
Because she was afraid of others discovering the abnormality in her body, she had imprisoned herself for two years.
Two years of time had completely turned her life upside down.
She had no friends, dared not participate in any activities, and was like a sheltered young lady.
She had truly turned herself into a hedgehog covered in spikes.
Without realizing it...
It seemed she had become this way.
For two years, she had also tried hard to track down the location of the Heavy Crab.
Attempting to regain her weight.
But without exception, she had failed.
Even, since then, she had never seen the Heavy Crab again.
She had thought she might have to live like this for the rest of her life.
But...
Hitagi Senjougahara's mind was in turmoil.
Unexpectedly, she had encountered an existence even stranger than herself.
A devil!
However...
"The content of the transaction should be me myself, right?"
Hitagi Senjougahara said this with a calm expression.
After all, in the previous conversation, Lynn wasn't just hinting, but explicitly stating it.
Lynn looked at Hitagi Senjougahara and smiled: "That's right."
"I solve your problem, and you join my kin."
"Kin?"
Hitagi Senjougahara chewed on the word, then converted its concept.
"A harem?"
Lynn shrugged, "You can understand it that way too."
"Eh?"
Asuna Yuuki was stunned, then stammered: "Ha-harem?!"
She suddenly realized.
The Harem Club, was it actually not just a rumor?!
Hitagi Senjougahara stared at Lynn and muttered softly: "You're really frank."
She closed her eyes, feeling very conflicted inside.
On one hand, it was her long-term lonely and painful life, bound by the curse of the Heavy Crab, losing the possibility of a normal life.
On the other hand...
Hitagi Senjougahara thought of the members of the Supernatural Investigation Club.
Would she become an existence like them?
If she couldn't solve the Heavy Crab problem, she would likely grow old in loneliness, right?
And besides...
Compared to humans who weren't worth trusting...
Hitagi Senjougahara weighed the pros and cons, then opened her eyes and carefully sized up Lynn.
Finally, she suddenly smiled: "Lynn..."
"You really are worthy of being the existence that all the boys at Shuchiin Academy are jealous of."
"Not only do you have great luck with women, but your appearance, which looks like it walked out of a manga, is also one of the reasons..."
Saying this, Hitagi Senjougahara had already persuaded herself.
At least.
Lynn looked very much to her taste.
Moreover.
Heavy Crab or Devil?
She didn't have a third choice.
After making up her mind, Hitagi Senjougahara felt much more at ease, and then asked: "Mr. Devil, can you see the source of the strangeness on me?"
Lynn scanned her and said: "The curse of the Heavy Crab, right."
It was settled!
Hitagi Senjougahara confirmed in her heart.
He could see the problem with her at a glance, and even...
It seemed he didn't even take the curse of the Heavy Crab seriously?
Thinking of this, Hitagi Senjougahara stood up, bowed to Lynn and said: "Please, help me take back the weight that belongs to me!"
Lynn leaned on the desk without moving, just saying: "Helping you take back your weight is not difficult."
The mere curse of the Heavy Crab, Lynn only needed to use his power of purification to solve it.
"But..."
"You lost more than just weight, right?"
Lynn continued: "Are you ready to accept that heaviness again?"
Hitagi Senjougahara's eyes froze, and then her mood became heavy.
That's right...
She didn't just lose her own weight.
