Chapter 61: Ghost Devil
"Then why don't I just join you?"
Inside the old school building, Hana's voice rang loud and clear.
Miko blinked.
Wait… was she serious?
But…
She wasn't sure if Hana was qualified to become part of Lynn's peerage.
Miko turned to look at Lynn.
Lynn met her gaze and smiled.
"Then join Yuuko," he said casually.
"Reincarnate as a devil together and become part of my peerage."
Miko sighed in relief.
So, Hana is also qualified.
"Yay!"
Hana hugged Miko excitedly.
Miko smiled helplessly, but she was genuinely happy for her.
Becoming part of Lynn's peerage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people like them.
Besides…
Knowing the truth of the world but lacking the power to protect oneself…
That's a nightmare.
She had experienced it herself.
Now, Hana had a chance to escape that fate.

Outside the Old School Building.
After putting some distance between themselves and the building, Yukino finally let out a breath of relief.
But two words kept echoing in her mind.
Peerage.
She hadn't stayed long enough to hear the full explanation…
But with her intelligence, she could already guess.
Maybe…
Those girls in the Supernatural Investigation Club are all part of Lynn's peerage?
Maybe they gained supernatural abilities because they became his peerage members?
Fuu~
She exhaled deeply, trying to clear her mind.
When she faced that cursed spirit in the old school building…
She had realized something very clearly.
She.
Yukinoshita Yukino.
Was just an ordinary person.
Against monsters like that, she could do absolutely nothing.
She didn't want to be involved in supernatural affairs anymore.
"Y-Yukino…"
Suddenly, Yui tugged at Yukino's sleeve, her voice shaking.
"L-Look ahead…"
Yukinoshita Yukino looked up in confusion.
And then.
Her pupils shrank!
"Can you see me? Can you see me?"
Yukino's face turned stiff.
Evil spirits were everywhere.
No!
Not just Shuchiin!
She looked into the distance.
The streets outside the school…
Were also filled with evil spirits!!
"Y-Yukino…"
Yui forced a smile, one that looked worse than crying.
"T-Those are—"
"Don't say it!"
Yukino's voice dropped to a whisper.
Yui immediately fell silent.
"Just… pretend we don't see them…"
Yukino murmured softly.
On the surface, she looked calm.
But if someone listened carefully…
They would hear the slight tremor in her voice.
"Can you see me?"
She remembered the cursed spirit's words.
If they realized she could see them…
Something terrible would happen.
Her lips turned pale.
Why…
Why has the world become like this?
Is this the real truth of the world?
Suddenly, she remembered what Lynn had said in the old school building.
"Once you see the real world, there's no turning back."
So this was what he meant?
She clenched her fists, her heart pounding.
What should she do?
What should she do?!
Just then.
A cursed spirit approached them.
Its hooded face was twisted and grotesque, and a foul stench came from its mouth.
"Can you see me? Can you see me?"
So close!
So terrifying!
Should she go back?
Should she return to the old school building and seek Lynn's help?
But…
She had already walked away without hesitation.
Wouldn't running back now be utterly shameful?
"CAN YOU SEE ME?!!"
Suddenly!
The cursed spirit lunged closer!
Yukino trembled.
It felt like…
She had let something slip…

Inside the Old School Building.
Since Lynn was about to perform a reincarnation ceremony, he needed a clean space.
So—
The group moved to Yuuko's room.
"Great! Everything's still intact!"
Yuuko floated in midair, spreading her arms as if welcoming them.
"Welcome to Yuuko's private chamber!"
Lynn looked around.
Hmm… definitely has a girly touch.
Utaha let out a sigh.
"I didn't expect her to act like a queen but have such a cutesy room."
Then she muttered under her breath,
"She's clearly an old virgin in her fifties or sixties."
Lynn ignored her and pulled out an Evil Piece.
"Alright, who's going first?"
Hana eagerly raised her hand.
But before she could step forward.
Yuuko pounced on Lynn.
Rubbing against him, she declared,
"I'll go first! I'll go first!"
"Alright then."
Lynn nodded.
"Take off your clothes."
"…Huh?"
Yuuko froze.
Then her eyes lit up with amusement.
"The reincarnation ceremony has such an interesting rule?"
She grinned and teasingly pulled at her collar, revealing a deep ravine.
"Like this~?"
Lynn remained unfazed.
After admiring the view for a moment, he said,
"No, you have to take everything off."
Yuuko pretended to look troubled.
"Really, what a greedy man."
She wasn't wearing anything underneath.
But…
Since he said so.
Yuuko slowly undressed, exposing her flawless figure before Lynn.
"Eh heh heh?!"
Hana covered her eyes but peeked through her fingers.
She actually stripped?!
So shameless!!
Utaha's eyelid twitched.
"You damn ghost! You really don't wear anything!"
"Hmph!"
Yuuko straightened her back with pride, her breasts swaying.
"It's uncomfortable for ghosts, okay?"
Lynn picked up the Evil Piece.
"Front or back?"
After briefly explaining the Blessing inscription, Yuuko suddenly understood.
"Ohhh~ So that's why I have to take off my clothes."
Her eyes gleamed as she feigned embarrassment.
"Whatever you like, Lynn~ I'll leave it up to you."
Since she said that, Lynn didn't hesitate.
He placed the Evil Piece on the front.
"Hmmnn~
It feels like something… went inside!"
Yuuko moaned softly, her face flushed.
Utaha clenched her teeth.
"She's definitely doing this on purpose!"
Buzz——
The reincarnation ceremony was complete.
A status window appeared.
