"No rush."
"The Familia's top priority is saving the Cursed Children."
"Destroying humanity is just a side bonus."
Lynn patted Tendo Kisara's head, bringing her back to her senses from her darkened state.
"She should be like this because of her Asura state!"
Lynn glanced at his skill panel and noticed a few new additions.
"Hmm…"
"Maybe I should test them out sometime?"
[Vengeance Mark] and [Queen of Vengeance]—Were pretty interesting.
"Tsk! This damn system didn't change it to 'King of Vengeance' for me."
"Hmm...whatever, no one can see the system panel anyway."
— — —
Kisara, feeling the warmth of his hand on her head, gradually regained her composure.
No rush?
Well—If Lynn said no rush, then there was no rush.
She understood her place very well.
That 'Master' title in the Familia wasn't just for show.
Besides…with the power Lynn had granted her… it was more than enough for her revenge.
She just needed to endure for a while longer.
Tendo Kisara took a deep breath.
"Ha? Was it because I had become a Devil? ...It actually feels pretty nice."
That insane rage she used to struggle with—It felt like she could control it now.
The constant, maddening whispers in her head had faded away.
It was… peaceful.
She turned to look at Lynn, a strange emotion flashing through her eyes.
Was it because she had become his Familia member?
Was that why it suddenly felt… so easy?
I need to repay him!
Tendo Kisara's attitude became firm, her expression one of complete determination.
She was ready to bleed and sweat for the Familia!
"Lynn, is there anything I can do?"
Her current state was unbelievably good!
No more mental suffering. Even her revenge target was now within reach.
This was—The most relaxed she had ever felt!
All because she had become part of Lynn's Familia.
But…
She couldn't just accept that without doing anything in return!
"Please, give me orders!"
— — —
Lynn wasn't the type to hold back when it came to his Familia.
If she was part of his team, she would be put to use.
And luckily—
Tendo Kisara's status as the President of Tendo Civil Corporation was extremely useful.
He already had a plan in mind.
The Cursed Children in the Outer Area—It was only a matter of time before they were all taken in.
Now, it was time to focus on the ones inside the other areas.
Lynn turned to Kisara. "First, have Saeko and the others register as civil officers through your company."
Moving around would be much easier with official police IDs.
Who knows? They might even be able to snatch a few Cursed Children being trained by the government or IISO.
As for going through Seitenshi?
Lynn's eyelid twitched.
When he watched the anime, he didn't think much of it—At least on the surface, she had some presence.
But in reality…She was a useless ruler.
The only real contribution she could make to Lynn was giving him this shelter.
And that was probably the best she could do.

After giving Kisara a rundown of his Familia members and their current mission—
"Saeko, bring me a phone."
Lynn handed Kisara a special phone that could connect to the Main World's network.
And just like that—She was added to the group chat.
[Ding! 'The Crazy Tendo' has joined the chat!]
Tendo Kisara stared at the group name, her face heating up slightly— But she pretended not to notice and quickly scanned the member list instead.
Then—She saw the name 'Seitenshi'.
Her eyes went blank for a second.
Then she turned to look at Lynn, completely dumbfounded.
"Seitenshi-sama… is really your servant!?"
Lynn shrugged. "Told you. You just didn't believe me."
Tendo Kisara opened her mouth—but for once, she had no idea what to say.
Tokyo's highest ruler—Was actually someone else's servant.
Who the hell would believe something like that!?
"Seitenshi-sama has betrayed humanity before me?!!"
Tendo Kisara's brain exploded with pure disbelief.
This was even more shocking for her than meeting a Devil!
"By the way," Lynn added casually, "she's the first person from your world that I reincarnated as a Devil."
"Oh… and she was the one who summonedme here in the first place."
Tendo Kisara: "…W-What?"

[Lynn's Familia Group Chat]
[The Crazy Tendo: "@Seitenshi, so it was YOU who brought a Devil into this world?"]
[Seitenshi: "???"]

A Few Days Later
[Lynn's Familia Group Chat]
[Kasumigaoka Utaha: "@Sigma Man, Yukinoshita Yukino's big sister is looking for you."]
[The Girl who sees: "Ha? Names can be changed?"]
[Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Yep!"]
— — —
Main World—Shuchiin Academy, Supernatural Research Club
Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes slightly as she studied the mature woman in front of her.
This woman…She was definitely here because of Yukinoshita Yukino.
"So? What did your club president say?"
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled politely.
She had rushed over the moment she found some free time—Only to discover that the club president wasn't even here.
Was he out dealing with a supernatural case?
Her curiosity was piqued.
[Ding!]
[Sigma Man: "Busy."]
Utaha put her phone away and smiled.
"Sorry, our club president is currently busy… saving lolis."
Haruno's expression twitched.
Saving lolis?
Did some kid get caught up in a supernatural incident?
Ever since she learned about the supernatural, she couldn't help but connect everything to it.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled again.
"Maybe I can help? Would you like to talk over coffee?"
Utaha's smile remained unchanged.
"What a coincidence. I also have to go save lolis."
Haruno's smile froze.
Again… with the lolis!?
Was she just making up excuses to get rid of her?
Before she could say anything, Utaha ignored her completely and pushed open the door to the Club.
Her Devil's Grimoire was going to be useful soon—she couldn't afford to waste time on small talk and delay her Master's plans.

Black Bullet World
Lynn put down his phone.
Yukino? Haruno?… whatever.
He didn't have time to deal with them right now.
It was nothing urgent anyway.
Over the past few days, his newly reincarnated Devil Cursed Children had been gathering intel.
And the results were astonishing.
"4,365 Cursed Children in Just One District!?"
And there were dozens of these districts in just the Tokyo Area.
If this pattern held—That meant there were roughly 200,000 Cursed Children in Tokyo alone.
Beyond Tokyo?
There were still four other major regions in Japan: Sapporo, Sendai, Osaka, and Hakata.
Roughly estimating—That meant Japan had over a million lolis.
Worldwide…?
Lynn shook his head.
No point thinking that far ahead yet.
For now—He needed to gather all the Cursed Children in Tokyo first.
With 200,000 of them, he should be able to power up significantly.
Once his strength increased, expanding to other areas would be much easier.

Inside the Shelter
A flash of brilliant white light illuminated the area.
Kasumigaoka Utaha stepped through the Dimensional Gate.
Her eyes flickered as she stared at Lynn's lips.
Almost instinctively, she licked her own lips.
Then—her face flushed slightly.
"Master… I'm ready."
