“Sister, let me become a devil too.”
“Eh!?”
Kanae was stunned looking at her sister’s sudden change, but she quickly understood her sister’s thoughts.
Kanae softly said, “Have you thought it through, Shinobu?”
“I have. I don’t want to be separated from you again, Sister.”
Looking at Shinobu Kocho’s reddened eyes once more, Kanae smiled gently, “You don’t tell this to me~”
Shinobu Kocho was initially startled, then realized who Kanae was referring to.
She bit her lip, her eyes firm as she nodded.
By this time, Ye Xiao had already arrived behind them.
Everything had already been revealed.
“I heard someone wants to become a devil,” Ye Xiao spoke up at this moment.
Shinobu Kocho looked back at the man who had turned her sister into a devil, her nominal brother-in-law.
“If you become a devil, everything about you will belong to me. You will be my possession, and everything will be controlled by me.”
Ye Xiao said, meeting Shinobu Kocho’s eyes and calmly stating, “Can you accept such terms?”
Listening to Ye Xiao’s words.
Shinobu Kocho performed a perfect dogeza towards him.
“Please, Your Excellency the Devil, I don’t want to be separated from my sister.”
Looking at Shinobu Kocho in front of him, he didn’t expect the process to be so quick.
He had an unexpected gain just after arriving.
He had thought he would need more time.
However, Ye Xiao still wanted to tease the little Butterfly in front of him.
Then he turned to Kanae, “Kanae, this girl doesn’t even want to call me brother-in-law.”
Shinobu Kocho was stunned.
Kanae also understood Ye Xiao’s words, which meant Ye Xiao had agreed.
She then patted her silly sister, smiling as she said, “Shinobu, aren’t you going to greet him?”
Shinobu Kocho’s cheeks flushed slightly. After a moment of hesitation, she still obediently spoke: “Brother-in-law.”
Ye Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
“Then, are you ready, little Butterfly?”
“I’m ready.”
“Alright.”
The roulette inside Ye Xiao began to operate.
For a Knight, this girl wasn’t good enough. For a Bishop, it was uncertain. For a Castle, don’t even think about it. For a Soldier, it wasn’t suitable either.
In that case, she would first be reincarnated as a devil. As for what kind of chess piece she would be, that could be decided later.
(Brothers, what chess piece should I give her?)
Ye Xiao extended his hand.
On his finger was the Blood of Conversion generated by the Transformation Pool.
“Come on, swallow it.”
Shinobu Kocho looked at her sister and didn’t hesitate.
She opened her small mouth and took Ye Xiao’s finger, and the Devil’s Blood entered her body.
The light of the Reincarnation Array emerged, enveloping her.
After a while.
The light dissipated, and a pair of wings appeared behind Shinobu Kocho.
“Shinobu, welcome to the family.”
...
The next day.
Inside Kanao Tsuyuri’s room, the girl slowly opened her eyes.
She then sat up and stretched.
“Phew~ That felt good. Oh, right, my sisters.”
Kanao Tsuyuri seemed to remember something. Her sisters had returned yesterday, and she hadn’t properly greeted them yet.
She changed her clothes and ran towards the living room.
In the living room, Ye Xiao was sitting beside them, dressed in clothes Kanae had prepared, while the others were all sitting together, eating breakfast.
Kanae held a plate of breakfast, looked at her youngest sister, smiled, and called out to her.
“Kanao, come eat breakfast.”
“Okay, Sister.”
Shinobu Kocho and Kanae both froze for a moment, somewhat incredulous.
“What did you call us?”
“Sisters, of course.”
Facing the Butterfly sisters’ question, Kanao Tsuyuri also put her hands on her hips and said.
Shinobu Kocho and Kanae exchanged glances.
Both were a little surprised that Kanao could speak on her own initiative and even call them sisters.
Then they looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao also gave them a thumbs-up.
They also understood the reason.
“Sister, I’m hungry.”
“Okay, come eat.”
“Mm.”
After breakfast was finished.
A Kasugai Crow flew to the Butterfly Mansion.
It stood by the window and met Ye Xiao’s gaze.
Then it spoke with its invincible voice.
“Good day, Mr. Xiao.”
“Hello, is there anything?”
“My master invites Mr. Xiao and your companions to the headquarters for a discussion.”
The crow calmly relayed its master’s command.
“Understood, thank you.”
...
The Ubuyashiki Estate.
Surrounded by wisteria flowers, the estate resembled a house in a fairy tale flower sea.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his wife and children were sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun, awaiting the arrival of the one who would break the stalemate.
Soon after, Butterfly Kanae, Shinobu Kocho, and Ye Xiao’s group arrived near the estate.
Looking at the vast wisteria flower sea.
“So... so beautiful.”
Asia looked at the scene, her hands clasped in front of her chest, marveling.
The others also nodded in agreement.
Arriving at the estate’s entrance, Kanae knocked on the door.
After a moment, the door slowly opened.
And opening the door was a child wearing a purple kimono with shoulder-length white hair.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment. The Ubuyashiki family had black-haired males and white-haired females, so this should be one of Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s daughters.
He just didn’t know the little one’s name.
As the door fully opened, the little girl in front of them bowed to everyone.
“Hello, nice to meet you.”
The girl’s voice was steady and gentle, making people feel good about her. As expected of Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s child.
“Hello.”
Ye Xiao and the others also greeted her.
The girl quietly stood to the side.
“Please come in, Father is waiting for you.”
“Thank you.”
Saying so, led by Kanae and the others, they entered.
What greeted their eyes was a small courtyard.
A black-haired man sat at the courtyard’s edge, his forehead and one eye covered by scars, looking as if he might soon lose his sight in both eyes.
Seeing the arrival of Shinobu Kocho and Ye Xiao’s group.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki stood up.
Looking at Butterfly Kanae, Kagaya Ubuyashiki showed a relieved smile.
“Kanae, welcome back.”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s voice was very gentle, making people feel very comfortable and trusting.
“This gentleman must be a very kind person.”
Asia stood beside Ye Xiao, whispering, and Yotsuya Miko and the others also nodded in agreement.
Such a gentle person must be very good.
Meanwhile, Butterfly Kanae and Shinobu Kocho bowed to Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
Kanae also smiled and responded, “It’s been a long time, Master.”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and nodded, then his gaze fell on Ye Xiao.
His eyes held a hint of excitement.
In his premonitions during this period, the original premonition had undergone a huge change, and the person before him was the one who guided that change, and also the one who would end this millennium-long conflict.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki also extended an invitation to Ye Xiao and his group.
“Everyone, please take a seat.”
