"Are you really my mother?"
"Of course."
Athena said without batting an eyelid, then extended her hand towards Metis.
Looking at Athena, Metis felt strange, but the connection between them couldn't be faked.
At this moment, Abel, who was watching the show from the side, took out a mirror and placed it in front of Metis.
Looking at the identical appearance, save for the color.
Metis's strange feeling also disappeared. Well, being identical definitely meant they were mother and daughter.
Seeing Athena extend her hand without hesitation.
Abel, standing by, watched this scene with a smile. It had to be said that Ultimate Karma was quite effective, having slightly modified Metis's memory and perception.
Now they truly had "deep mother-daughter affection."
"Alright, ladies, it's time to go home."
"Yes, Master."
Athena immediately responded to Abel's call, while Metis hesitated for a moment, then echoed Athena.
"Yes, Master."
...
Abel's home.
It was already evening.
Upstairs, Grayfia looked at Gabriel, who was kneeling obediently on the floor, with some helplessness.
She rubbed her forehead and said, "As an angel, you're truly too kind, bringing a stranger back like this?"
Hearing this, Gabriel lowered her head shyly. "That girl knows Master. I thought she might be one of Master's clients, so I brought her back."
Looking at the pitiful Gabriel, Grayfia sighed.
When would this kind angel finally get her priorities straight and become an "evil" demon?
Meanwhile, downstairs.
The Yukinoshita sisters sat properly in the castle-like room.
Elsa was currently hosting the two of them.
Yaino Yukinoshita looked at the castle.
Outside, it was just an ordinary small villa, so why did it turn into a castle the moment they entered?
She had a thousand questions but found it difficult to speak.
The shut-in Dragon King Tiamat walked over with two cans of cola and asked, "Sorry, no tea. How about some soda?"
"Thank you."
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yaino Yukinoshita took the cola and thanked her.
Then, everyone began a simple chat.
From the simple conversation, Elsa and the others learned how the young girl in front of them knew their master.
They also learned why she had sought him out.
Another one like Miko.
Beside them, Yaino looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with a puzzled expression. It seemed Yukino hadn't mentioned anything about what had happened recently.
Just then, a teleportation array appeared in the living room.
Then, Abel emerged from the magic array with Athena and Metis, not forgetting to say, "Elsa, Tiamat, did you miss me…?"
Before Abel could finish his sentence, he saw the Yukinoshita sisters sitting on the sofa. He was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected Yukino Yukinoshita to find her way to his home.
Then Abel revealed a playful smile: "Long time no see. Let me guess, young lady, how's the visible world?"
"Not good."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Abel's words, Yukino Yukinoshita spoke honestly, but Yaino Yukinoshita, sitting beside her, looked utterly confused.
So what exactly are you two talking about?
Abel directly bypassed Yaino Yukinoshita and asked Yukino Yukinoshita, "Do you want to solve it?"
"What's the price?"
"The price remains the same."
Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, remembering Abel's invitation from back then.
Becoming a demon, huh?
But compared to spirits appearing in her face, and the disbelief of being eaten, what was becoming a demon?
"Um…"
Yaino, beside her, weakly raised her hand, then looked at Abel and asked, "Can you tell me what happened to Yukino?"
If it were a normal person, Yaino would never be like this. Would she, the dignified heir of Yukinoshita, be humble?
But the problem was, this entire family were demons!
Abel looked at Yaino Yukinoshita, then asked, "Want to know?"
"Yes."
"I see."
Abel nodded. Since she wanted to know, then both sisters should come into his bowl.
Thinking this, Abel snapped his fingers casually.
Just like that, Abel and Yaino Yukinoshita disappeared from Yukino Yukinoshita's sight.
At this moment, the two appeared on top of the tallest building in Chiba.
The sudden movement made Yaino Yukinoshita instinctively grab Abel's arm.
Immediately after, her legs felt a bit weak.
"Don't worry, you won't fall."
Hearing Abel's words, Yaino Yukinoshita opened her eyes.
She quietly surveyed her surroundings. This scene looked pretty good.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Didn't you want to see your sister's world? So I'm letting you see it."
"My sister's world? What's it like…?"
Before Yaino Yukinoshita could finish her sentence, Abel opened her eyes.
The originally beautiful sky instantly disappeared.
In its place was a bizarre and colorful world.
Yaino Yukinoshita began to tremble all over… The once familiar world instantly became strange.
Many spirits wandered aimlessly, and even the sky had bird-like spirits.
"Can you see me? Can you see me?"
"Ah!!"
The sudden appearance of a spirit right in her face startled Yaino Yukinoshita.
Now this was a problem.
All eyes converged.
Yaino Yukinoshita, being stared at, swallowed hard. She seemed to have made a terrible mistake.
"You can see us!!"
"Eat her! Eat her!"
"Evolve!!"
The nearby spirits looked at Yaino Yukinoshita as if she were a delicious meal.
Then they all rushed towards her.
Now, another one followed in Miko's footsteps.
Abel smiled slightly and raised his hand.
Spirit Gathering.
All the spirits were sucked in by a pulling force, then transformed into a single bead.
This… this was the reality her sister lived in?
Playing with the bead in his hand, Abel looked at the now-wet Yaino with amusement and said playfully, "Now you know what your sister is facing."
Yaino Yukinoshita's lips trembled, but she said nothing.
She knew what her sister had to face every day.
"So… Miss Yaino, regarding your sister having to face such things every day, and being unable to defend against them, how long do you think her mind can endure?"
"Miss Yaino, you wouldn't want your sister to be devoured by these things, would you?"
Hearing Abel's words, Yaino Yukinoshita gritted her teeth, "What should I do?"
"A very good question. What kind of price do you think you can pay?"
Hearing Abel's words, Yaino Yukinoshita gritted her teeth: "I can surrender the Yukinoshita enterprises to you."
"Hahahahaha!!"
Abel seemed to have heard something funny.
Money?
He wasn't lacking it.
As long as he wanted it, most of the world's treasures would be delivered to his doorstep.
Not to mention those extraordinary items.
Abel paused, "Do you think I would lack these things?"
Yaino Yukinoshita was stunned.
Yes, the things she had, the person in front of her also had. The things she didn't have, the demon in front of her had even more of.
At this point, it seemed the only things she could trade were her own body and herself.
Yaino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, her eyes firm. "Then I'll sell myself to you, as long as you can help Yukino solve this problem."
