"Her!"
Iwanaga Kotoko quickly pointed at Izayama Yomi.
Lynn looked at Izayama Yomi, then at the Demon flyer in Iwanaga Kotoko's hand.
"Uh..."
Iwanaga Kotoko gave an awkward smile, then stuffed the Demon flyer into Izayama Yomi's hand.
Izayama Yomi: "..."
She opened her mouth, but in the end, could only sigh silently.
No choice.
It was indeed her fault that Iwanaga Kotoko was implicated.
But who would have thought that they would capsize in a ditch this time?
The previous times had been fine.
Only this time.
Izayama Yomi's eyes flickered slightly.
This time, it was actually a tail of a Hagoromo Gitsune.
Unlucky.
She complained silently.
Then, her gaze met Lynn's red eyes, and after a moment of silence, she could only nod and say, "It's me..."
Lynn nodded.
Confirming the employer makes things easier.
He began to survey the surroundings.
The sky was very dark, with 108 Ukiyo-e style bronze mirrors floating in the air.
The edges of each mirror were covered with dark red incantations.
Strangely, what was reflected in the mirrors was not them, but scenes with a sense of history.
Some reflected burning cities, while others reflected spring courtyards.
It was as if each mirror was a different space.
Izayama Yomi reminded, "This place is very strange; each mirror can reflect scenes of battles that have occurred."
"Miss Kotoko and I have already broken eight mirrors."
Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko smiled awkwardly.
Basically, Izayama Yomi did it all by herself.
She could only analyze the situation, and she didn't expect Izayama Yomi to include her.
Izayama Yomi continued, "I estimate that we need to break all the mirrors to escape from this strange space."
As her words fell, her eyes held some solemnity. 947 Just eight mirrors had already left her in a sorry state.
And there were still a hundred more ahead!
If it was just her and Iwanaga Kotoko, they definitely wouldn't be able to get out.
So.
Although she had hesitated a bit before summoning the Demon.
But since he was already here, she didn't feel anything anymore.
She was even already thinking about what reward to offer.
She heard that...
What the Demon was most interested in was taking in retainers...
Hmm...
Her expression was a bit unreadable, making it impossible to discern her thoughts.
As for whether Lynn had the ability to lead them out of this space...
Someone who could converse and laugh with Lord Nanagami shouldn't be too bad, right?
Iwanaga Kotoko was also secretly observing this summoned Demon.
She just felt...
Different from what she imagined?
Shouldn't Demons be grotesque, ugly, and terrifying?
Why was this one so handsome?
And...
"Shuchiin Academy's school uniform..."
She muttered softly.
He was actually a student from her school.
Speaking of which...
Was this Demon really reliable?
Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes held some suspicion.
After all, a student's identity was still hard to believe.
"Alright, I understand."
After Izayama Yomi's reminder, coupled with his own analysis and magic power detection, he had largely understood everything about this place.
In short.
It was an illusionary space created by a fox demon.
To be crude, one could just break through with an explosive burst of magic power.
This was very easy for Lynn, a High-Class Devil.
To be more refined, whether using the Slashing of the Devil of the Sword or the lightning strike of the Secretary Demon, it could be easily broken.
So...
"Let's talk about the reward first."
"Eh?"
Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes widened, a little surprised by Lynn's directness.
Izayama Yomi, however, showed no expression.
In fact, one could say she was relieved.
Since Lynn said that, it meant he had enough confidence.
So...
The problem came to her.
What could she offer?
Izayama Yomi looked herself up and down.
Besides her body, she also had the treasured sword Shishioh.
Well.
Actually, she also understood that the right to choose was not hers.
After all, it was a request involving two lives.
Izayama Yomi sighed in her heart.
She felt like she had exhaled all the sighs of her life today.
She composed herself and said solemnly, "Devil King, whatever you fancy, please take it."
At least, she could keep her life.
She still didn't want to leave Kagura...
Thinking of Kagura, her heart softened a bit.
Seeing this, Lynn didn't stand on ceremony.
"Alright, then come be my retainer."
As expected...
Izayama Yomi was not surprised.
After all, from a human perspective, she was also considered a talent.
"Okay."
Izayama Yomi nodded.
Once she made a decision, she had no intention of regretting it.
Lynn looked at her in surprise.
He didn't expect her to agree so readily.
It was Iwanaga Kotoko who gasped.
"What's a retainer?"
She blinked her seemingly innocent eyes, looking at Lynn curiously.
Lynn didn't look at her, but just casually said, "Simply put, it's my harem."
"Ha-harem?!"
Iwanaga Kotoko was truly shocked this time!
Even if retainer meant harem, but...
He just said it so brazenly?!
Are all Demons like this?!
Incomprehensible!
Even Izayama Yomi's body stiffened for a moment.
A retainer, did she also have to fulfill a wife's duties?
She became a little uncomfortable, but her face still remained calm.
Her eyes were slightly dazed.
She was about to start a family?
But…
It didn't seem so bad?
She somewhat liked the feeling of being accepted.
Although he was a man she had only met twice, no.
He should be Demon Sensei.
But!
It was still too fast…
She felt a bit conflicted.
If she had to fulfill her duties as a wife, she felt it would take some time.
Iwanaga Kotoko saw Izayama Yomi seemingly lost in thought and couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
Lynn looked at her with a half-smile, "What, are you also interested in joining our family?"
"No, no, no!"
Iwanaga Kotoko quickly waved her hand, even taking a step back.
Although Demon Mr. was very handsome and to her liking.
But a harem, after all, was still too…
She gave an awkward laugh, "Um, this humble one's delicate body can't withstand Demon Mr.'s impact, so there's no need."
"It's fine, your body strength will increase once you become a demon."
Iwanaga Kotoko's expression stiffened, then she said with a tearful face, "Demon Mr., my loli figure won't fit at all, will it?"
Lynn's expression was strange, then he said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"It's time to leave here."
Since the remuneration had been settled, there was no need to stay here any longer.
Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
Then she asked curiously, "How does Demon Mr. plan to do it?"
She and Izayama Yomi had been trapped in this space for several days.
She highly acknowledged Izayama Yomi's strength.
But going through them one by one, even the powerful Izayama Yomi had only barely broken through the eighth mirror before she couldn't continue.
She wondered how Demon Mr. would do it.
But she thought, he should also follow the rules, right?
That's right.
Rules!
According to her deductions.
This space had rules.
Currently, through Izayama Yomi's battles, she had two confirmed rules.
One was 'gazing'.
As long as one gazed at the mirror for too long, the scene inside would turn into reality, and a battle would begin.
The second was 'obsession impact'.
Each mirror had projection characters similar to its owner.
Once this mirror was defeated, one would have to face the obsession impact of the mirror's owner.
This was also why Izayama Yomi couldn't hold on.
Her heart was already very sensitive, and facing the influence of various negative emotions, her spirit was even more exhausted.
If she continued, Izayama Yomi felt that her consciousness would be submerged in various obsessions.
Iwanaga Kotoko told Lynn about her discoveries, with worry in her words.
Lynn raised his hand, "No need to worry."
"Just…"
"A moment is enough."
Iwanaga Kotoko: "?"
As her question just arose, she saw a powerful black demonic energy suddenly burst forth from Lynn's body!
The demonic energy, like flames, instantly enveloped the entire space!
Crack, crack—
The illusionary space couldn't withstand Lynn's overwhelming demonic energy, emitting sounds of shattering.
Immediately after, with a bang!
The entire mirror space instantly shattered!
The setting sun, instantly reflected on the three of them.
Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes widened, and she said tremblingly, "It's, it's a Great Yokai!"
She had never seen a demon, but by horizontally comparing the strength of the demonic energy released by Lynn, she could clearly understand Lynn's specific strength.
Moreover…
Didn't she see that she had already come out of the mirror space, and the group of yokai that had been surrounding her didn't dare to approach.
Even…
"So, so scary!"
"Quick! Run!!"
"It's over!! Princess has become a demon's captive!!"
The group of yokai shouted things like 'it's over' and 'the princess is going to be eaten', and then they ran away.
Hmm.
They ran away…
Iwanaga Kotoko's eyelids twitched violently, and her delicate small hands clenched.
These yokai were really unreliable!
Izayama Yomi stared blankly at Lynn, "He actually…"
"Directly broke through with demonic energy?"
It was a simple and crude method, but it was exceptionally effective.
Moreover…
Great Yokai?
Hearing Iwanaga Kotoko's address, Izayama Yomi's face showed a hint of subtlety.
Whether facing Hagoromo Gitsune or Yasaka, she had never felt the aura Lynn possessed from them.
This…
Future master.
He wouldn't be about to break through to Demon King, would he?
Hiss—
Izayama Yomi's calm face couldn't hold up either.
She immediately gasped.
Was she, about to ascend to heaven in one step?
Become a Demon King's familiar?
It felt like…
She hit the jackpot…
Izayama Yomi's eyes became subtle.
"Let's begin the reincarnation ritual."
Izayama Yomi's heart tightened, but then she heard Lynn say, "Although I'd like to say that, there's still a little bug that needs to be dealt with."
Little bug?
Izayama Yomi and Iwanaga Kotoko were puzzled.
But soon, they heard heavy footsteps.
"I wondered why you came out, turns out you found a helper."
Izayama Yomi and Iwanaga Kotoko looked in the direction of the sound, and a giant fox emitting a golden halo came into view.
"Yaaaaaaa!!"
