🕑 Added 2025-03-18 00:53:42 +0000 UTC— — — — — — —
Due to the cat-type Gastrea virus in her body, Fuse Midori had an incredibly sharp sense of smell—so much so that she could even use scents for prophecy.
And she was sure that Lynn-sama's words… held no scent of lies.
drip! drip!
Midori stared blankly at the ground, her head bowed low as large teardrops fell.
'He… called me… cute…'
She bit her lower lip, trying hard to suppress her sobs, but the tears wouldn't stop flowing.
Lynn watched as she trembled and sniffled. Gently, he turned her around.
"If you want to cry, you can do it in my arms."
Midori's breath hitched.
Her tears surged forth uncontrollably as she threw herself into Lynn's embrace, arms wide open.
"Lynn… -sama!!"
Lynn held her close, stroking her soft hair gently.
She must have suffered so much…Not just Midori—all of the Cursed Children.
That's why… he has to wipe this twisted world clean.
Even if Seitenshi's plan succeeds, he will still wipe them out.
Why? It's simple—just because he wants to.
He already decided.
— — —
Within the Shelter, silence hung in the air.
Aside from Midori's muffled cries, not a single sound could be heard.
The other Cursed Children stood frozen, watching her, their eyes filled with emotions they couldn't put into words.
They had all been abandoned before.
They understood her pain better than anyone.
And now…Lynn…
They would never forget him for as long as they lived.
Because he didn't just accept Midori.
He accepted all of them.
After a while, Midori's sobbing gradually softened.
"Lynn-sama… will you abandon me?"
Her voice was muffled against his chest, tinged with hesitation and fear.
Even though her instincts told her what his answer would be, she still couldn't help but ask.
She needed to hear it.
With her own ears.
Lynn didn't answer right away. Instead, he asked once more—
"Midori… will you be my exclusive kitty?"
The answer was obvious.
Midori lifted her head. Her eyes met his warm smile.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Then, without hesitation, she buried her face in his chest again and nodded firmly.
"Midori wants to be Lynn-sama's exclusive kitty!"
This time, there was no nervousness, no fear, no hesitation.
Only pure, unwavering determination.
"Then it's settled."
Lynn continued to hold her, letting her cling to him for a while longer.
But soon—
"…Master, when are you going to spoil me like that too?"
A voice suddenly interjected.
It was Kanoe Yuuko, watching with a teasing smile. "A ghost… doesn't count as a pet, huh?"
Midori jolted in realization.
She had completely forgotten—They weren't alone!
'S-So embarrassing…!'
It was way too quiet just now! That's why she got carried away!
She quickly pulled away from Lynn's embrace.
But when she turned around, all the other Cursed Children were staring at her with playful, knowing looks.
"Ahhhh—!"
Her face instantly turned bright red.
Lynn chuckled. "Alright, let's continue the reincarnation ceremony."
'Oh… right!'
'The reincarnation ceremony!!'
Midori's body stiffened.
She completely forgot that she was still naked!!!
Lynn-sama definitely saw everything.
"Oh no…"
She felt like steam was about to come out of her head.
Unable to think straight, she mechanically turned around, exposing her back to him.
It wasn't until she felt the cold touch of the Devil's Piece against her spine that her mind slowly started to clear.
'If it's him…'
'Even if he saw me… it's fine… right?'
She was already… his pet.
'But still! It's so embarrassing!!'
As the Devil's Piece fully merged into her body—The reincarnation ceremony was complete.
[Ding! You have acquired Familia member: Fuse Midori!]
[Ding! Your Familia member 'Fuse Midori' has reincarnated as a Special Devil!]
[Ding! You have gained new skills…]
Lynn temporarily muted the system notifications and examined Midori's blessing information.

— — —
The first Special Devil among the Cursed Children had been born!
Her Gastrea Factor: Cat was expected—it was part of her nature due to the virus.
However, the Scent Clairvoyance ability added a layer of mystery to it.
Lynn quickly skimmed past the basics and focused on Nekomata Devil's skills.
A skill that corrodes enemies after hitting them…
A skill that grants First Strike in battle…
Interesting.
Both abilities carried unique mechanics.
He hadn't expected Midori's potential to be this good.
And more importantly, both of these skills could be incredibly useful for him as well.
Especially Fate Tracker's Scent—that First Strike ability seemed like it could be game-changing.
Lynn chuckled. "Midori, you're my lucky kitty."
"U-uh…"
Midori's face instantly turned red at the praise.
Lynn copied down her blessing details, and once she had finished getting dressed, he handed them to her.
Since she had just undergone the reincarnation ceremony, she already had a basic understanding of the blessing system.
She lowered her gaze and began reading through the details.
Inevitably, her eyes lingered for a moment on the "Master" section.
From today onward… she was his kitty.
No longer a stray.
A faint blush crept onto her face as she continued reading.
She skimmed past her base stats—all stuck at I0—and went straight for the skills.
Seeing Gastrea Factor: Cat listed there made her expression slightly complicated.
After all, it was this very factor that had made her suffer for so long.
Yet now…It had become her skill.
But it didn't matter anymore.
Now that she was a Devil, the Gastrea virus was completely gone from her body.
This was simply a skill preserved by the blessing system.
And more importantly—The reason why her cat ears hadn't disappeared after her transformation… was probably because of this skill.
"That's a relief."
Midori let out a small sigh.
The same thing that once made her an outcast…Was now something that made her happy—because Lynn liked it.
Finally, her eyes drifted to the last skill set.
[Nekomata Devil].
Her vision swayed slightly.
These abilities seemed incredibly powerful.
But right now, she wasn't sure how to use them effectively.
She gripped the paper tightly.
'Would these abilities… be of any use to Lynn-sama?'
If she could help him, even a little…
That would be enough.
While Midori was lost in thought, Lynn casually pulled out his phone and snapped a few pictures of her.
Click!
Midori blinked in confusion and looked up.
Her eyes were full of curiosity.
Click!
Perfect shot!
Lynn scrolled through his contacts until he found Rias.
