"So, you really are Devils?"
After a long while, Rin finally snapped back to her senses. She looked at her sister somewhat reproachfully. "Knowing he's a Devil, you still brought him here?"
"Because Uncle is a good person."
"A good person who makes demands like that?"
Rin sighed. "Becoming a Devil or something... I never thought about it."
"This is a Devil's rule."
Sakura said aggrievedly. "But if you want a wish granted, there is actually another way."
Rin asked expectantly, "What way?"
Even Ayato and the others were drawn in.
"As long as you become the Master's servant, you become family. Then you can make any request you want."
'You're a genius.'
Artoria and the others exchanged glances, speechless.
Only Ayato looked at Sakura approvingly.
'As expected of my servant. What a perfect answer.'
Rin was too exhausted to complain. "That's no different at all. Are you really my sister?"
"But this is the only way I can be with Nee-chan forever."
Sakura burst into tears. "I don't want to be separated from Nee-chan again."
Hearing this, Rin was stunned.
'Being with Sakura forever?'
A soft spot in Rin's heart was touched.
The greatest regret of her life was being powerless to stop her sister from being adopted into the Matou Family.
And now...
Because of Ayato, things seemed to have changed.
If that was the case, this Devil was actually her benefactor.
And with her own strength alone, she might not be able to protect the Tohsaka Family.
'But if I gained a Devil's power...'
The scales in her heart began to tip.
"Alright, stop crying."
After finally comforting her sister, Rin turned her gaze to Ayato and said seriously, "Devil-sama, if I become a Devil, you will tell me who killed my father, right?"
"Of course."
"But I don't want to abandon the Tohsaka Name. I want to revive my family."
"As you wish."
Hearing this, Rin completely relaxed.
'It seemed this Devil-sama was quite easy to talk to.'
She realized that becoming a Devil seemed like a good thing.
After thinking for a moment, Rin's gaze became determined.
'In that case, I would become a Devil.'
"It seems you've made your decision."
Ayato looked deeply at Rin, took out a Pawn Piece, and said, "Place this inside your body."
"Huh?"
Rin was instantly dumbfounded.
'Place a piece... inside my body?'
She didn't understand.
'How could such a large piece be placed, and where?' She was still too young, you know.
Sakura reminded her, "Nee-chan, take off your clothes first."
Rin's eyes widened, turning red. "Did you do that too?"
"Yes."
Sakura said innocently, "Only then can you become a Devil."
Rin said viciously, "You Devil, you're a pervert."
Ayato: "..."
'How did the topic get so twisted?'
He wouldn't admit to things he hadn't done.
Medusa couldn't stand it anymore and spoke. "You only need to take off your outer clothes. Don't overthink it."
Though she had also misunderstood at first.
"S-Sorry, Devil-sama."
Rin's face was bright red as she slowly took off her outer clothes.
"Is... is this okay?"
Even though it was just her outer clothes,
It was still so embarrassing.
"Okay."
Ayato nodded and skillfully placed the piece in the correct position.
'Speaking of which, this was a mourning hall, right?'
Suddenly realizing this, Ayato's expression turned somewhat strange.
'Never mind. Tokiomi Tohsaka-san, I'll take care of your family from now on.'
"It really... went in."
Rin stared blankly at the piece as it merged into her body.
It felt like magical energy... was surging out.
Her eyes widened as she felt her body heat up.
Her heartbeat was more intense than ever before.
Her lower back itched, as if something was about to burst out.
"Mmm..."
The next instant, a pair of Devil wings emerged.
A small tail kept swaying in the air.
"So this is what it feels like to be a Devil?"
As the magic circle faded, Rin clenched her fists.
She could feel that her power was already completely different from before.
"Nee-chan, it's over. Put your clothes back on."
Sakura said innocently. "You'll catch a cold like that."
"Ah..."
Rin's face flushed red again. She hurriedly and fumblingly picked up her outer clothes.
"Your family specializes in gem magic, right?"
Ayato raised his hand. A large number of gems fell from the magic circle. "This is a welcome gift for you."
For him, who controlled most of the other world, these things were nothing.
"S-So many."
Rin's eyes sparkled, then she said suspiciously, "Devil-sama, you weren't already plotting against me, were you?"
"How could that be? I didn't even know you before."
Ayato said righteously.
"..."
Rin blinked and finally nodded.
'Indeed, I must have been overthinking.'
Then she began happily collecting the gems.
'As the head of the family now, I had to spend money carefully.'
'Wait!'
'I had a Devil patron now.'
'Which means, I could spend, spend freely.'
Thinking this, she felt becoming a Devil was really good.
'Still just a child.'
Medusa shook her head slightly.
Though she had no proof, she was a thousand percent certain her Master had already set his sights on Rin.
"By the way, Rin, where are your family's magic books? I want to take a look."
"Follow me."
Rin nodded, hugging the large pile of gems as she walked outside.
"By the way, Devil Uncle, are you interested in human magic too?"
Rin turned her head, somewhat curious.
Her address had also naturally changed from '-sama' to the same as Sakura's.
That was the charm of money.
'What a promising child.'
Ayato smiled and nodded. "I have a great interest in all knowledge."
"So if you have the chance, try to collect as many texts on supernatural knowledge as possible."
"Okay, no problem."
