Alex's gaze was profound, and his tone was gentle as he said, "Kurome, take this step, and you will quickly become stronger."
"Esdeath can vouch for this."
Upon hearing this, Esdeath immediately nodded, "That's right, the effect is very good. Thanks to Master, I've become much stronger."
Although testifying in such matters was a bit embarrassing.
But as her Master's Dependent, she had an obligation to expand her Master's harem.
"Whew!"
Kurome took a deep breath, looking at Alex with trembling eyes.
Her little heart was pounding, and her breathing became heavy.
"I must become stronger and bring my sister back to my side."
Kurome secretly encouraged herself.
She had already become a demon.

How could she shrink back at this step?
Kurome extended her fair, small hand, slowly moving it forward.
Watching Kurome actively wanting to become stronger, Alex's lips curved into a smile.
"Very good, you have grasped the mystery of becoming stronger. Let me see your resolve."
Alex grabbed her demon tail, gently twisting it.
Looking at her face contorted in pain, Alex warned, "By the way, if you want to become stronger, you can't waste anything, you know."
Hearing Alex's words, Kurome subconsciously nodded.
Gulp.
She swallowed her saliva, a look of determination rising in her eyes.
Compared to the training during her time in the assassination unit,
for the sake of becoming stronger,
this level of pain was nothing.
Thump! Thump-thump!
The next moment, he felt intense changes beginning to occur in his body.
His heartbeat accelerated, his blood boiled, and the strength of his muscles and bones increased.
What concerned her most was the rapid transformation of the magical power within her body.
"It actually... really made me stronger."
Delight flashed in Kurome's eyes, and her movements grew faster and faster.
A pair of demon wings extended, flapping continuously.
After a while,
every cell in her body cheered; she felt she was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Looking at the text messages floating before him, Alex nodded slightly to himself.
He gazed at Kurome, who was already standing upright.
"Let us progress together."
"Yes... Master... I will work hard."
Kurome's eyes were filled with tears from the pain, but her gaze remained resolute.
Witnessing this scene, Esdeath was also filled with fighting spirit.
Although she was much stronger than Kurome,
without effort,
she could very likely be surpassed.
She nodded and also began her training.
In the blink of an eye,
a day passed in an instant.
[Kurome]
[Race: Demon]
[Master: Alex Lucifergus]
[Level: LV28]
[skill: Corpse Manipulation]
[Corpse Manipulation: Can use one's own power to modify and freely control corpses.]
"...Well done, Kurome. You leveled up."
Alex informed her of the new attributes, which immediately brought a smile to Kurome's face.
She clenched her small pink fist, able to feel that her strength was several times greater than before.
Compared to when she was human, it was a world of difference.
"Just wait, Akame."
Kurome murmured softly, then turned her gaze to Alex, her eyes filled with affection and admiration.
Her wings fluttered gently, and from time to time, she wrapped her tail around Alex's arm.
Rather than a demon, she was more like a little puppy... The Imperial Capital.
Commercial Street.
Alex walked down the street with Esdeath and Kurome.
This was Esdeath's idea.
Under the pretext of wanting a date like a romantic outing.
Naturally, Alex had to satisfy his own Dependent.
"Master, look over there, let's go check it out."
Esdeath clung to Alex's arm, like a young girl deeply in love.
Kurome took out a snack bag labeled [Kurome's Snacks]: "Master, have some."
"Sure."
Alex opened his mouth and ate the candy.
Mmm, apple flavor.
Tastes good.
Looking at the two by his sides, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Alex's mouth.
He found that occasionally going on a date was quite pleasant.
Whether it was Esdeath or Kurome, they both provided ample emotional value.
Seeing Alex's smiling face, Esdeath also wore a happy smile.
Being able to go on a date with someone she liked and who was also powerful felt like a dream.
However... she glanced at Kurome on the other side.
The only regret was the presence of a third wheel.
"Aside from Master, I won't share this with anyone."
Kurome hugged the snack bag tightly in her arms, eyeing Esdeath warily.
Esdeath: "..."
Forget it.
Next time, just don't bring this kid along.
Judging by her behavior, she should be easy to deal with.
"Hmm?"
Alex, who had been watching the two, was about to interject when his expression shifted slightly.
Immediately after,
Esdeath and Kurome halted their steps one after another, their eyes turning sharp.
Hum!
A flash of light.
Several figures had already materialized out of thin air on the rooftop ahead.
The moment they appeared, the surrounding space became incredibly oppressive.
Astonishing killing intent instantly chilled the pedestrians on the street to the bone, causing them to instinctively flee into the distance.
"Syura, it's you..."
"What, do you want to avenge your father?"
Looking at the man leading them, Esdeath spoke calmly.
Alex looked up, his eyes also flickering slightly.
Syura, the son of Minister Honest.
Regarding this scum and his subordinates, Alex still had some impression.
However, what surprised him was that an unexpected person had appeared in the other party's group.
It was a tall, cute, and beautiful girl with an orange-red ponytail that fell to her buttocks.
Even though she wore half-body armor, it couldn't hide her slender and graceful figure.
Seryu Yubikitas.
She had actually joined Syura in action.
And the reason for this was also due to Alex, the butterfly.
After occupying the palace, all armed forces in the entire Imperial Capital had been replaced by Esdeath's own people.
Seryu's master, Oka, had been killed by Esdeath when he violently resisted.
Filled with hatred, Seryu was nearly driven insane.
It just so happened that Syura returned to the Imperial Capital, and the two hit it off perfectly.
Thus, the current situation was formed.
