DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch.

Chapter 68: Pacifist (BONUS)

Lynn briefly explained the capabilities of the Blessing System.

Upon hearing this, Seitenshi's eyes lit up in realization.

She clutched the paper detailing the Blessing System tightly, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She had always wanted to save the Cursed Children… but lacked the power to do so.

In the end, she could only strike a deal with a devil to realize that wish.

She thought it would turn into something twisted.

After all, it was a legendary evil devil.

But—

She had already steeled herself for sacrifice… So why did it turn out like this?

After reincarnating as a devil,

She had gained superior physical strength, supernatural magic, an extended lifespan, and slow aging.

And—

She glanced at the Blessing data and pursed her lips.

Was this the key?

This…

This was a complete reward!!

Seitenshi: "..."

She pursed her lips, a flicker of inner conflict in her eyes.

Even someone as useless as her… was she really worthy of this?

She was clearly just a decorative figure.

Just a… mascot pushed forward by others.

Snap!

A large, warm hand gently landed on her head.

Seitenshi snapped out of it and looked up slightly, dazed as she stared at Lynn.

"How does it feel to be a devil?"

Seitenshi lowered her eyelids, unable to meet Lynn's gaze.

She murmured, "It feels… good."

Even though her body remained slender, she could clearly feel the explosive power coursing through her.

Now that she had become a devil, she should be capable of doing the things she never could as a human, right?

Like the Cursed Children awakening their powers?

No!

She could become even stronger than them!

After all, she was only a Low-Class Devil right now.

With the Blessing System, she still had enormous room to grow!

"But…"

Seitenshi bit her lip and asked with some insecurity, "Mr. Lynn, why did you choose me?"

Of course, it was because of the Devil's Summoning she had signed.

And the Evil Piece had responded to her.

Lynn thought to himself.

But he didn't say that out loud.

He could tell that Seitenshi had some issues with her mentality.

Outwardly, she carried herself as the noble, composed, and calm Seitenshi.

But in truth, she was just a sensitive and insecure girl.

At the end of the day, she was just a high school student standing at the pinnacle of Tokyo's government.

"Is someone like me really worthy of following you?"

Her voice was filled with confusion.

Someone like Miss Mugen is probably the one who truly deserves to be by your side, right?

"Don't overthink it."

Lynn patted her head and smiled. "Whether you're worthy or not isn't up to you to decide, it's up to me."

Yes. It was determined by the Evil Piece.

Certified by the Evil Piece.

"Without a doubt, you're the talent I need."

Seitenshi stared at Lynn in a daze.

That warm smile instantly shattered the cloud of doubt in her heart.

Lynn pinched her cheek and continued, "Besides, your current identity is still extremely useful in this world."

Gathering the Cursed Children… Without Seitenshi's help, it would've taken much longer.

His peerage wasn't that large yet.

Hearing Lynn's words, Seitenshi nodded seriously. "Please tell me what I need to do, Mr. Lynn!"

Since he was allowing her to follow him, then she had to prove her worth!

She didn't want to be a decorative figure anymore!

Lynn continued pinching her cheek and said, "Don't rush. First, let's see what you can do."

"Hmm…"

Only then did Seitenshi realize Lynn's hand was still on her cheek.

Seitenshi pressed her lips together but didn't resist Lynn's little gesture.

Compared to the gift Mr. Lynn had given her, this bit of cheek pinching was nothing.

Just that… it was the first time a guy had ever pinched her cheek like this, so she felt a bit shy.

She forced herself to focus on the Blessing document in her hands.

Following Lynn's advice, she skipped the basic attributes—all currently i0—and went straight to the master's field.

A strange feeling stirred in her chest.

Her heartbeat quickened, and she quickly diverted her gaze to the last section: Inherent Skills.

[Ideal Devil]

Seitenshi's emotions grew more complicated.

That name always gave her a subtle feeling.

Was he mocking her for being an idealist?

Peaceful territory and utopia.

Yes, those were the social ideals she once worked so hard for.

But none of them had come true.

In fact…

She hadn't even taken the first step.

But…

"These abilities… suit me perfectly."

She was a pacifist. She didn't like fighting.

This was perfect for her…

Seeing that Seitenshi had finished reading her Blessing data, Lynn sat back in his office chair and casually flipped through the documents on his desk.

On the desk, aside from the New Protocolata Law, there were documents about the new human plan, special forces, cursed children arrangements, and more.

Hmm…

He didn't understand any of it.

After flipping through a few pages casually, Lynn gave up.

Even though he had watched Black Bullet before,

This was still a real world now, with social systems vastly different from his own.

After thinking it over, Lynn decided not to make plans on his own.

With Seitenshi, who knew this world best, by his side, there was no need to stress his brain cells.

He tapped the desk rhythmically with his index finger and said, "I plan to reincarnate all the Cursed Children as devils."

"As long as they're reincarnated as devils, the protovirus in their bodies will be neutralized by the cells of the evil devil."

"And I'll also gain more followers."

"Followers?"

Seitenshi, still fresh from her own devil transformation, blinked in confusion.

She knew that everything she had now belonged to Mr. Lynn.

But she still didn't understand the concept of followers very clearly.

Lynn had to explain to her what followers meant.

"I see."

Seitenshi nodded in realization.

So it meant being Mr. Lynn's servant.

She had no resistance to that idea.

After all, by becoming Mr. Lynn's servant, she had already gained immense strength and potential.

And Mr. Lynn had promised to save the Cursed Children.

To Seitenshi, the Cursed Children would probably be overjoyed.

Even if they weren't given power, as long as someone accepted them, they would already be satisfied, right?

Not to mention, after becoming devils, their bodies would return to normal.

To the Cursed Children, being saved by Mr. Lynn was probably the greatest blessing in the world!

"Mr. Lynn, what should I do!"

Seitenshi's expression turned serious.

"Find all the Cursed Children, gather them together, and wait for me to reincarnate them one by one."

Lynn gave his order.

Seitenshi took a deep breath, her gaze firm. "Understood!"
