At that moment, she felt a small poke in her side.
"Eh!?"
She jumped a little and let out a yelp.
Lynn glanced at her, amusement playing on his lips.
Kaguya froze.
Then, another pokesame spot.
This time, she didn't overreact. She calmed down and realized it was Hayasaka.
Thinking back to her earlier words, something clicked. Kaguya quickly bowed her head.
"I'm your personal maid, Shinomiya Kaguya."
"Please order me however you see fit from now on."
Her face turned crimson as she forced herself to say the words, mirroring Hayasaka almost word-for-word.
Lynn leaned forward slightly, reached out, and gently lifted Kaguya's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
Her whole body stiffened. She quickly looked away.
Seeing that, Lynn's lips curled into a smirk.
"I gotta say, I liked you better when you were all proud and defiant."
Her lips trembled. She couldn't stop shaking.
And thenwith a soft thudKaguya fell to her knees in front of him.
"I-I'm sorry, Lord Lynn!"
"I was ignorant and arrogant before!"
She bowed deeply, her body trembling like a leaf. Tears welled up in her eyes.
She had to earn his forgivenessonly then could she keep serving him.
Only then could she have a shot at redemption.
Hayasaka watched the whole scene silently, her expression complicated.
The old proud Kaguya would've never bowed like this.
But after everything that happened to the Shinomiya family, all that pride had been shattered.
Lynn leaned back on the sofa, staring down at Kaguya with a look of interest before letting out a low chuckle.
"If you're apologizing isn't it common sense to remove your clothes and show me your chest first?"
"...Huh?"
Kaguya froze.
Her tear-filled eyes looked toward Hayasaka, confused.
Is that normal?
But Hayasaka looked away slightly.
Without a clear answer, Kaguya bit her lip, voice trembling.
"I-I understand"
If you can't satisfy Lord Lynn... who knows what might happen~
Yukinoshita Haruno's words echoed in her ears.
For the sake of what was left of the Shinomiya name
It's just exposing her chest.
Just her chest.
That's all.
And somehow If it was Lynn
It'd probably be okay?
Kaguya closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and started undoing the buttons on her blouse with trembling fingers.
One two three
Lynn's eyes fell on the pale fabric gradually being exposed.
Kaguya's face was burning red, her lips tightly pressed together.
She'd never done anything like this before.
But today wasn't like any other day.
And strangely as Lynn said nothing, she felt no fear. Just embarrassment.
Maybe if it were anyone else, she wouldn't have been able to do something so outrageous even if it killed her.
After about a minute...
This should be enough right?
With her white undergarments fully exposed, Kaguya hesitated.
She sneaked a glance at Lynnthen quickly looked away again.
He still didn't look satisfied.
Kaguya bit her lip. Thenwithout thinkingshe reached behind her and unhooked her bra.
Click.
The last soft fabric slid down.
What Lynn saw was flat chest.
With just a touch of pink.
"Looks like Miko has got competition," Lynn muttered under his breath.
There wasn't much to admire, really.
He only gave it a quick glance before summoning a devil piece in his hand and pressing it right onto her chest.
Didn't really matter which side he pickedthere wasn't much of a difference anyway.
"Mmh!"
The sudden coldness made Kaguya flinch, her eyelashes trembling wildly.
But she didn't open her eyes. She just let him do whatever he wanted.
A second later, a surge of energy flooded into her body.
Her eyes snapped open.
Something Was entering her!!
[Ding! You've acquired Familia member: Shinomiya Kaguya!]
[Ding! Your Familia member Shinomiya Kaguya has reincarnated as a special-type Devil!]
Just like always, the system chimed in his ears.
Lynn looked over at Kaguya's newly revealed Blessing data.
—

Rank: Low-Class Devil

As the data surfaced, a chill burst out from Kaguya's body.
Hayasaka instinctively shivered, then stared at her in shock.
"This is?"
"A reincarnation ritual," Lynn replied casually.
He turned to Kaguya.
"From now on, now, you're officially my personal maid."
Kaguya looked down at her hands.
Vmmm
A pulse of cold energy flared.
Crackcrack
A diamond-shaped ice crystal formed in her palms.
The cold should've been intense, but she barely felt a thing. She just stared at it, lost in thought.
So this is supernatural power...
Was that why Lord Lynn told her to show her chest? To give her this gift?
A strange emotion swelled in her heart.
But why?
Why would Lord Lynn give this kind of power to someone like me?
Slowly, she lifted her gaze and stared blankly at Lynn.
She'd even forgotten to put her clothes back on.
As if sensing the confusion in her eyes, Lynn answered plainly, "Because you're mine now."
Thump.
Thump thump!!
Kaguya instinctively clutched her chest.
At that moment, it felt like her heart had been struck by somethingpounding wildly in her chest!
Her vision blurred slightly. Crystal-clear tears spilled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
She came here to atone
Yet instead, she was the one receiving a reward first
Kaguya bit her lip hard as tears streamed down her face, her delicate nose turning red.
"Woo~"
She couldn't hold back her sobs, though she tried to muffle them, letting out pitiful little whimpers.
Like a wounded puppy whimpering in the rain.
Senhime suddenly looked up.
Wait, did a dog yokai sneak in?! What was that sound?
But when she followed the sound and saw the source, she just clicked her tongue in disappointment and buried her face again.
Kaguya quietly sobbed, her shoulders trembling slightly.
She felt like the hollow void in her chest had been filledby Lynn.
Her crimson eyes locked on him, wide and dazed.
And all Lynn did was look back at her
Huff
Her breathing quickened ever so slightly before she hurriedly looked away. Then her thighs clamped together, and her face flushed bright pink in an instant.
Suddenly, the idea of becoming Lord Lynn's personal maid
Didn't really feel like punishment anymore.
Realizing that, Kaguya froze.
Oh no!
How the hell was she supposed to atone now?!
Off to the side
Hayasaka Ai watched Kaguya, her expression complicated.
In just a few short days, it felt like she'd seen a dozen different sides of Kaguya.
Is she even better at pretending than me?
So that whole cold ice-queen actwas it all fake?
But
Seeing that Kaguya still seemed okay, mentally at least, Hayasaka finally let out a small breath of relief.
She hadn't actually needed to report in today.
But after Kaguya made that sudden decision, she decided to tag along anyway.
She didn't care for the Shinomiya family, but when it came to Kaguya
She really did think of her as a friend. Or maybe more like a little sister?
Anyway
Seeing Kaguya like this, Hayasaka felt a little more at ease.
But still
Kaguya's situation might be settled, but
Now it's my turn, isn't it?
Hayasaka Ai's eye twitched as she glanced at Kaguya's half-open maid outfit.
Don't tell me I have to
Just thinking about it made her tense up.
Sure, she'd been trained to be a maid since childhoodand she was damn good at it too.
But this private maid business?
Totally new territory. It honestly felt like she'd stepped straight into a hentai movie.
Master and Maid? This was her first time.
And of all things, her first time had to be this intense?!
Still The reincarnation ritual, the blessing system
Supernatural power!
Hayasaka Ai clenched her fists.
She was this close to it. No way she was backing down now!
Besides
Becoming one of Lynn's chosen came with way too many perks!
Aside from the supernatural powers, the only thing she really remembered from Haruno was eternal youth. Eternal youth and yeah, more eternal youth!
For any girl, that's the ultimate cheat!
Not to mention
The moment she agreed to be Lynn's personal maid, she knew it was only a matter of time before she had to bare her whole self to him.
And more importantlyLynn had destroyed her family's old enemies.
Even if he didn't do it for her, it still felt incredibly satisfying.
That was a favor she'd never forget.
So
There was nothing to hesitate over.
Well maybe one thing.
A teeny bit of shame.
But whateverIt's too late to back out now.
Hayasaka took a few deep breaths, then quickly started unbuttoning her maid uniform.
"L-Lord Lynn please mark me as yours."
Her cool expression barely changed, but there was a faint hint of nervousness in her steady voice.
She took off her top smoothly, subtly hiding her undergarments behind her back.
Lynn gave her a once-over, then squinted. "You sure about this?"
"You...uh so it was fake?"
He couldn't help the twitch at the corner of his mouth when he noticed the dramatic drop in the size of her chest.
Hayasaka froze instantly.
Crap he noticed!
Thud!
Suddenly
Two thick sponge pads dropped.
"Huh?"
Kaguya picked one up, blinking. "Hayasaka, what's this?"
Hayasaka Ai: ""
.
.
.
Hundred Faces Devil
As Kaguya held the fallen sponge pads, curiously squeezing them a few times, Hayasaka Ai's eye twitched hard.
Trying her best to keep up her usual cool and composed expression, she replied with a completely straight face, "Those are portable disguise tools. For emergency costume changes."
"Disguise tools?" Kaguya blinked in confusion, then her eyes lit up in realization.
"Ohhh, I get it now!"
Hayasaka Ai: ""
As expected of Kaguyaso easy to fool.
Hayasaka quietly breathed a sigh of relief while trying to hold back the complex emotions swirling inside her. Thank god it was just Kaguya who saw it
Unfortunately for her, Lynn wasn't nearly as gullible. He clicked his tongue twice, looked at Hayasaka, then at Kaguya, and his gaze started unconsciously comparing the two.
About a minute later, after carefully observing even the subtlest differences, Lynn finally made his "fair and balanced" judgment.
"Hayasaka, you win!"
Hayasaka's mouth twitched, and she let out a bitter laugh in her mind.
Win against Kaguya? There's no satisfaction in that at all!
And it took him a whole minute just to tell the difference wasn't that basically a loss?
Sighing in her heart, Hayasaka felt both embarrassed and frustrated about her figurenot much better than Kaguya's to begin with.
She couldn't help but wonder
Would becoming a devil and receiving blessings somehow increase her cup size?
Though, judging by how Kaguya hadn't changed at all after her transformation, Hayasaka wasn't holding her breath.
Lynn casually fiddled with a devil piece and rubbed his chin. "So, front or back?"
"Huh?" Hayasaka blinked. "You can choose where it goes?"
Lynn shrugged. "Kaguya's worked just fine either way, so I didn't really care."
Kaguya's expression froze.
For some reason, she started feeling kinda weird.
"You, though" Lynn looked Hayasaka up and down and added, "Even if you're a bit better than Kaguya the difference isn't that big, y'know?"
This time, it was Hayasaka's turn for heartache. She immediately turned around, her voice firm: "Please place it on my back!"
No way was she letting herself be lumped in the same category as Kaguya!
Even though, well, she kinda was
Soon, the cold touch of the devil piece on her back brought her back to reality. She let out a quiet hum as she felt something strange shifting inside her body.
Instinctively, she looked downbut the view from her chest to her toes made it clear that that particular wish hadn't come true.
At the same time, the system chime rang in Lynn's ears:
[Ding! You have obtained Familia member: Hayasaka Ai!]
[Ding! Your Familia member "Hayasaka Ai" has reincarnated as a special-type Devil!]
Lynn raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Another Special devil?
These two former master-and-servant girls really had some quality genes
He glanced at her blessing info:
—
[Hayasaka Ai]
Rank: Low-Class Devil
Master: Lynn Valifer
Stats:
Strength: I0 Agility: I0 Endurance: I0 Magic: I0
Unique Skills: [Hundred Faces Devil]
[Hundred Faces Devil]

Devil Form: Final Act (Persona Overload)
—
As expected, just like Kaguya, she was a Low-Class Devil.
Lynn wasn't surprised. After all, they were originally just regular humans.
But still Hundred Faces Devil?
His brows furrowed slightly as he stared at the details, especially the so-called Maid Mode.
These modes seemed tied to her past disguises?
On the surface, it didn't seem all that special.
But Lynn had a gut feeling it was deeper than it looked.
He made a copy of the blessing info and handed it over to Hayasaka.
Taking the page, she stared at her stats in confusion.
"Try using your ability," Lynn said, curious to test his hunch.
Hayasaka nodded and closed her eyes, going with her instincts.
"Maid Mode."
Buzz
As soon as the words left her lips, a wave of dark mist swirled around her!
A second later, it cleared, revealing Hayasaka in a completely different maid outfit from before.
She was even carrying various cleaning tools like brooms and dusters on her belt.
Lynn tilted his head and asked, "How do you feel?"
Hayasaka paused, then hesitated. "Honestly I feel like I could do housework way better than before."
Her expression was complicated.
She had become a devil, and her newfound powers were still rooted in being a maid?
