Night like water.
Moonlight spilled through window.
Blended with lamplight, room colorful.
Kaiser rolled shoulders, checking Anna's attributes.
[Anna]
[Race: Devil]
[Master: Kaiser Lucifuge]
[Level: LV13]
[Skill: Insight Eye]
[Insight Eye: Greatly enhance dynamic vision; predict enemy trajectories, replicate movements.]
…
"Good—four levels up."
Kaiser smiled.
Worth his careful guidance.
Freya curious—Kaiser pulled her over, pressing down.
"Since here—clean before leaving."
Smack!
Familiar pain on cheek; Freya dared not defy.
"Here, here, here—all clean."
"No slacking—or I'll be upset."
"Yes… mmm… Master."
Freya smiled submissively, starting diligently.
No longer lofty princess—Master's slave only.
Cleaning—proficient now.
But…
Power flowed stronger.
Freya's gaze complicated.
Fallen thus, yet increasingly fond.
Unimaginable growth before.
"Phew!"
Kaiser exhaled.
Peerage benefits profound.
Many tasks delegated.
…
Morning.
Anna stirred, eyes widening instantly.
"Freya… you… you…"
Freya's state unbelievable.
But sensing Kaiser's gaze, Anna panicked.
"Master… um… breakfast."
Fled.
"This girl…"
Kaiser chuckled, shaking head—no stopping.
Fresh Mid-Class breakthrough—more unbearable.
Stretched lazily; eyed pretending-sleep Freya.
Smack!
Slap; vivid red print amid countless traces.
"Hiss."
Freya inhaled sharply, pitiful glance.
"Master… spare me."
"Fine—this time."
Kaiser smiled. "Right—wanted cooking?"
"Help Anna."
Hearing, Freya relieved hugely.
Strength good—but constant painful.
Dressed; hurried kitchen.
Then chaos—clanging, occasional explosions.
Breakfast call—an hour later.
"This your cooking?"
Kaiser silent at pitch-black dish.
"Sorry, Master."
Freya apologetic.
"Master, ingredients gone—buy more?"
"No—eat out."
Kaiser shook head. "Business later."
"Business?"
Anna and Freya curious.
Kaiser direct. "Star spirit here."
"Unexpected—legendary star spirit."
Freya thoughtful. "Master wants spirit's blessing?"
"No—spirit itself."
"…"
Freya and Anna exchanged glances—complicated.
True perverted devil Master.
Then!
Trio ate out; headed forest.
Forest teemed dangers and monsters.
Adventurers wary deep entry.
But for trio—trivial.
Anna vanguard, clearing path.
Stronger monsters—Freya handled.
[Experience 10]
[Experience 36]
[Experience 39]
Notifications; Kaiser brightened.
Decent monsters.
Anna near another level soon.
Even he gained feedback.
"Good grinding spot."
"Bring Shiho's group later."
Kaiser murmured, extending perception.
Knew star spirit in lake.
Exact location—search needed.
Soon brightened.
Sensed area shielded invisibly from beasts.
"That way."
Led Freya and Anna forward.
Countless monsters slain.
Finally shimmering, beautiful lake.
"Right place."
Kaiser stroked chin, headache. "Summoning tricky."
"Fine—force it."
"Wait, Master—I'll try."
Freya quick. "Learned some elven tongue—useful."
Kaiser brightened. "Go ahead."
Freya stepped forward; ancient mysterious chant from lips.
Instantly, starry sky twinkled.
Heaven-piercing blue pillar pierced dimensions over lake.
Then!
Transparent-winged graceful figure emerged slowly in pillar.
Elfin pointed ears; emerald hair cascading, outlining full contours.
Pure pretty face—unique allure.
White gauze draped, wrapping ultimate golden proportions.
"Humans, I star spirit."
"Humans, what desire—follow…"
Mid-sentence surprised. "Wait—not humans?"
"Unique aura—never seen. What race?"
"Sharp."
Kaiser smiled. "Devils."
"Demons?"
"No—different entirely."
Star spirit frowned. "Fine—not humans—no hospitality needed."
Turned to leave.
But movement—breath stifled.
Dazed, met Kaiser's calm eyes.
Mere gaze—horror.
Inexplicable pressure enveloped.
Heartbeat thundering; clothes sweat-soaked.
