DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch.

Chapter 65: New Gastrea Law (BONUS)

Yuigahama's House

While Mrs. Yuigahama was away, Yui invited Yukino, Utaha, and Miko over.

Utaha glanced around. Seeing no cursed spirits of concern, she handed the detection task over to Miko.

At her current level, these low-grade cursed spirits had no effect on her.

Miko, with her ability to exorcise spirit creatures, casually walked around Yuigahama's house, poking them one by one.

The cursed spirits were like balloons, bursting instantly under Miko's touch.

Seeing such calm and effortless exorcism, Yukino and Yui fell silent.

The cursed spirits that used to terrify them were nothing more than fragile decorations in Miko's hands.

This was the difference between ordinary people and those with supernatural abilities.

Yukino felt a flicker of regret.

Peerage…

A memory flashed through her eyes.

She regretted it a little.

In her effort to avoid being involved with the supernatural, she had tried to slip away quickly.

But as Lynn once said.

There's no turning back.

She had even thought about whether she could somehow make herself unable to see them.

But wouldn't that just be self-deception?

Even if she couldn't see them, knowing the truth would still cause fear.

Since she had already stepped into that world, why bother running?

Huu—

She took a deep breath and quietly waited for Miko to finish her exorcism.

She understood, this type of exorcism was only a temporary fix. At best, it would make things quiet for a while.

Supernatural power…

If she could master it, would things be different?

She spaced out slightly.

Peerage…

A trace of confusion passed through her heart.

Elsewhere.

Lynn tapped on [Devil's Summoning] and disappeared from the Supernatural Investigation Club.

Mahiru rested her chin on her hand, quietly watching the spot where Lynn vanished.

---

Tokyo Area.

Seitenshi Residence.

Seitenshi held the "New Gastrea Law," which had been rejected again. Her eyes were filled with helplessness.

"Why…"

Clearly, cursed children were still human.

She shook her head and continued reading the next file, but suddenly froze.

"This is…"

She held up a sheet of pitch-black paper, covered in arcane runes that made her dizzy just by looking at them.

"Pray to the devil and sign a contract, and he will respond to you?"

There were no visible words, yet she inexplicably understood that sentence.

"A supernatural event…?"

Seitenshi's expression stiffened.

But—

"Devil…"

She looked down at the "New Gastrea Law" on her desk.

Then, she closed her eyes, placing her hands together in prayer.

If signing this contract could help her pass the law and protect the cursed children, then even if she had to become a devil, she would gladly do it.

She signed her name on the paper, blew gently to dry the ink, and smiled softly.

"Devil… will you really answer me?"

Seitenshi looked hopeful.

Though she knew the chances were slim, she still hoped it was real.

She had been pushed into this position despite lacking talent.

If giving herself up could achieve something good for the world, she would gladly do so.

But…

It was probably just someone's prank, right?

Seitenshi smiled wryly.

Who would send something like this to cheer her up after seeing her so stressed?

Just as she thought that, the black paper suddenly began to glow!

"Eh?"

Seitenshi's mouth parted slightly. Her eyes widened in shock.

"Are you… the one I made a contract with?"

Boom boom!!

Her heartbeat instantly quickened. Her throat went dry. Her eyes widened further.

Was this really… the Devil?

She wanted to cry but couldn't.

A devil's voice… must be terrifying, right?

She held her breath and turned her head slowly.

"…?"

Seeing Lynn, she blinked, her mind going blank.

A very handsome… Devil?

No, no… he must be human, right?

She let out a breath of relief.

Just as she thought, how could a devil really exist in this world?

This must be a prank.

The props were just extremely realistic.

But…

Where did this man come from?

Just as she was lost in thought, Lynn walked up and picked up the "New Gastrea Law."

"You want to pass this law, that is your commission?"

This world really needs devils.

To deal with evil people… you need people just as evil.

He wasn't a villain but he was a devil.

"U-Um, this…"

Seitenshi panicked slightly.

"Just call me Lynn."

"Ah… Okay, Mr. Lynn!"

After a moment of panic, her brain quickly caught up and calmed her down.

"Mr. Lynn, may I ask… how did you get in?"

Her tone shifted into that of a ruler. Her gaze turned serious. Her hand moved slightly toward the emergency bell.

Lynn, as if he hadn't noticed her movements, replied casually, "Didn't you summon me?"

"Me?"

Seitenshi was stunned.

"The Devil's Contract. You just signed it and already forgot?"

Lynn looked at her, speechless.

"Eh? Wasn't that just a prank?"

"Huh? Who told you that?"

"But… Mr. Lynn clearly…"

Before she could finish the sentence "doesn't look like a devil," Lynn grinned. The thin wings of a devil unfolded behind him.

"I am a devil…"

Seitenshi's mouth dropped open. Her brain completely froze.

Wings… wings??

Was he really… really a devil?

Her mind short-circuited.

No one ever taught her how to interact with a devil!

Her brain, desperately trying to find a solution, went into overdrive.

Lynn clicked his tongue.

She was the one who summoned a devil, but now she wasn't happy when he actually came?

He retracted his wings, giving her no time to think.

"I've accepted your commission. Once it's complete, I'll come to collect what's mine."

"Wait!"

Seitenshi hurriedly stopped him.

Commission?

She recalled, she wanted the bill to pass.

If he could truly help push the "New Gastrea Law" through…

That wouldn't be bad, right?

If a devil could do it, maybe there really was a chance.

But she needed to know how he planned to do it.

Choosing her words carefully, her purple eyes became serious.

"Mr. Lynn… your commission is to get the 'New Gastrea Law' passed, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then… may I ask, how do you plan to accomplish it?"

Seitenshi was well aware that many high-ranking officials were blocking the law's passage.

If she didn't know what the devil intended to do, what if it turned into something disastrous?

Lynn's lips curled into a smile. "How?"

"Kill the ones who oppose it, then won't it pass?"
