Hisako looked slightly puzzled after hearing Erina's sudden request.
It was an address she had never come into contact with before.
Why would the young lady want to go to a place like that?
Although confused, she didn't ask any questions and simply turned on the navigation.
Back seat.
When she saw that Hisako was really following the location Lynn had sent, Erina's heart inevitably began to race.
Even if the other person is a devil…
Even if there were countless concerns…
Still…
This could count as a real-life meetup with someone she met online, right?
The strange sense of anticipation momentarily pushed aside all her fears, and she began secretly looking forward to it.
Mr. Devil…
What would he look like?
Three heads and six arms? Horns? A terrifying face?
Hmm…
The more she imagined it, the more her expectations sank, and she even started to reconsider.
Still…
If she didn't go, she'd probably end up dying from the torment of her God Tongue sooner or later.
So…
There was no escape anyway, so she might as well just go with it.
---
Lynn Manor.
While playing with a Tamagotchi on his phone, Lynn hadn't expected that Erina would actually have the courage to come.
Seems like things haven't been going well for her lately.
But…
That's fine too.
The household had long needed a professional chef.
Hmm…
It wouldn't be long before Ai's maid group expanded again.
"Hmm…"
Across from him.
Avrora had eaten and drunk to her fill, letting out a satisfied sound as her belly puffed out like a balloon.
She squinted her eyes, leaned back comfortably in the chair, and placed both hands on her round stomach, clearly content.
"I am satisfied with the meal you provided," Avrora said plainly.
"?"
Ai blinked, confused by the blunt comment.
Lynn raised an eyebrow, chuckling as he looked at Avrora.
The room briefly fell silent.
Avrora blinked as if realizing something, then sat up straight and added obediently, "Thank you for the meal."
Maybe… she had gotten a little carried away.
Avrora felt a bit awkward.
After all…
He was the big devil who dared to strangle the original body!
Just thinking about that made her feel a little deflated.
However…
As one of the Fourth True Ancestor's incarnations, Avrora was used to speaking condescendingly. Changing that all at once wasn't easy.
"Alright."
Lynn nodded and said, "Time to talk business."
"Business?"
Avrora tilted her head.
Scene shift.
Lynn and Avrora entered his bedroom.
"So big!"
Avrora's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Is this bedroom prepared for me?"
"This is my bedroom," Lynn replied. "Of course, if you want to sleep here with me, I don't mind."
"!"
Avrora's eyes widened, and she immediately hugged herself, staring at Lynn with suspicion.
"You… What are you planning to do to me?"
"Oh?"
Lynn seemed a little surprised. "Naive as you are, you sure know a lot."
"Hmm…"
Avrora's cheeks flushed slightly. She turned her head away and mumbled, "As the Fourth True Ancestor, the knowledge I carry is quite vast!"
Well…
As an immortal, when you're bored, the only option is to read.
So she ended up learning quite a few things she probably shouldn't have.
I see.
Guess I'll need to properly adapt to being a vampire.
Lynn smiled. "There are plenty of empty rooms in the manor. Feel free to pick any one of them."
Avrora sighed in relief upon hearing that.
Then she nodded and said, "Your manor is indeed quite large."
She really liked it.
Especially the food, that was a huge bonus.
Next second.
Plop!
Lynn tossed over a black leather-bound booklet.
"?"
Avrora caught it instinctively, tilting her head in confusion.
"Please read the instructions carefully before joining the Peerage."
"Peerage?"
That word caught her off guard.
"It's similar to how vampires have familiars," Lynn explained.
Now she understood.
Put like that, it was easy to grasp.
"So…"
"You wanted me to become your servant?"
Avrora blinked, finally piecing it together.
"Exactly."
Lynn nodded.
"…"
She was conflicted.
Even if she was only the sealed container for the original, she still controlled one of the Fourth True Ancestor's beasts. That still made her one of the Fourth True Ancestor's incarnations.
So…
Was she really going to become someone else's servant?
Her pride wavered.
Seeing this, Lynn casually said, "If you don't want to, then just throw up everything you ate."
Avrora's eyes went wide. She clutched her mouth and shook her head furiously.
No no no!!
Once food is in her stomach, it belongs to her!
How could she give it back?!
Still…
Avrora realized something even more serious. She asked cautiously, "If I don't agree, will I still be allowed to eat here?"
Oh, so you know it's free food now…
Lynn gave her a speechless look, then smiled faintly.
"…"
Alright.
Even without saying anything, the expression on his face said it all.
If she lost access to that kind of delicious food, her future life would be utterly bleak!
With that thought, she immediately abandoned the pride of the Fourth True Ancestor.
Avrora suddenly pulled down her collar, revealing her fair neck, then leaned toward Lynn, turned her head, and said, "Come on, come on!"
"?"
Lynn looked at her oddly. "You're…"
"You said you wanted me to be your Peerage, right?"
Avrora stammered, "So…"
"You, you bite me!"
She shut her eyes, mentally preparing herself like she was awaiting execution.
"I-I'm scared of pain, so please… be gentle and quick."
"?"
Those words…
Were far too easy to misinterpret.
Still…
Lynn didn't mind. More importantly.
Everyone here belonged to him. There was no such thing as social embarrassment anymore.
Lynn looked down at the now-crumpled instruction manual still in Avrora's hands, then at her exposed neck, and let out a helpless sigh.
Then, he reached out and pinched her neck.
"Hmm…"
Avrora trembled slightly, her eyelashes fluttering. "Is it over?"
"It's over," Lynn said calmly.
Hearing that.
Avrora slowly opened her eyes, touched her neck, and muttered, "It feels like… nothing happened?"
Lynn said expressionlessly, "Have you ever thought about one thing?"
"?"
Avrora blinked, clearly confused.
"I'm not a vampire, so…"
"!"
Avrora's eyes widened in realization.
