  Feeling the warmth of Roy's hand on her head, Makomo couldn't help but turn and bury her fa his chest, sobbing softly.

  After a while, forted by Roy and the others, Makomo finally calmed down.

  Looking at her tear-stained clothes, Makomo blushed and lowered her head, embarrassed to meet Roy's eyes.

  Roy chuckled softly at her adorable dispy.

  With the Hand Demo with, they prepared to leave.

  When they returo the starting point of the Final Sele, an ued figure awaited them.

  "Greetings, Roy-sama!"

  A young girl with a butterfly-patterned haori k before Roy.

  She had bck hair with purple tips, purple eyes, and a bob haircut. She usually styled her hair in a bun, but unfortunately, she was only 1.5 meters tall.

  This was her than the popur character from Demon Syer, Shinobu Kocho.

  "And you are...?" Roy inquired.

  "I am the I Hashira, Shinobu Kocho," she replied with a gentle smile. "I would like to invite Roy-sama to the Butterfly Mansion for a discussion."

  Roy had already po visit the Butterfly Mansion. Since Shinobu had personally e to invite him, there was no reason to refuse.

  "Thank you for the invitation, Shinobu-san. We would be hoo visit," Roy accepted.

  "Please follow me."

  Shinobu led the way, and they arrived at the Butterfly Mansion.

  It was already te at night, and everyoed under Shinobu's arras.

  The m, after breakfast, Roy sipped his tea leisurely.

  His gaze, however, drifted towards Shinobu sitting opposite him.

  "Shinobu-san," he began, "I've heard that Demons fear wisteria flowers."

  "Indeed," Shinobu firmed with a smile. "Wisteria flowers are poisonous to Demons. Even the slightest touch be fatal."

  "So, Shinobu-san, are you curious about the differeween Devils and Demons?" Roy asked pointedly, gng at the wisteria tea in his cup.

  "Of course not," Shinobu replied, her smile unwavering. "This is simply hoele guests at the Butterfly Mansion."

  'I don't believe you' Roy thought, rolling his eyes.

  Looking at Shinobu's sweet smile, he couldn't resist teasing her.

  He suddenly appeared before Shinobu, gently lifting her with a finger.

  "Let me tell you a secret," he whispered. "It's not just Demons who e humans. Devils too."

  "Especially lovely young girls like yourself, Shinobu-san."

  Roy's eyes swept over Shinobu from head to toe, a pyful glint in his eyes.

  Shinobu, startled by Roy's sudden a, instinctively crossed her arms defensively.

  Roy chuckled auro his seat, taking another sip of his tea.

  Shinobu realized she had been teased.

  Her face flushed with embarrassment and anger.

  "Shinobu-san, you didn't invite us here just for tea, did you?" Roy asked, amused by her rea.

  Shinobu remembered the important matter at hand and pushed aside her embarrassment.

  She suddenly k before Roy.

  "Roy-sama, please save my sister!" she pleaded. "I'm willing to do anything, even... even be devoured by you!"

  Her face flushed crimson as she spoke the st part, clearly uanding the implication of Roy's earlier words.

  "Oh? Is that so?" Roy wasn't surprised by her request.

  He khat Shinobu's older sister, Kanae Kocho, had been killed by a Demon.

  Shinobu must have heard about his ability to resurrect the dead and invited him specifically for this reason.

  "Yes, it's true!" Shinobu affirmed, her gaze unwavering.

  Roy wouldn't refuse such a readily offered opportunity.

  "Very well. However, I must first ask your sister personally."

  Shinobu's eyes lit up with excitement. Ask her sister? That meant she could see her again!

  Roy smiled at her eagerness.

  With a wave of his hand, he eled his magic towards Shinobu.

  A beautiful figure materialized beside Shinobu.

  It was the spirit of Kanae Kocho.

  Kanae, uo let go of her sister, had been following Shinobu as a spirit.

  Roy's magic revealed her form.

  Shinobu, overwhelmed with joy, rushed to embrace her sister.

  However, she stumbled and fell, her arms passing through Kanae's ethereal form.

  "You're still as clumsy as ever, Shinobu," Kanae's gentle voice echoed in Shinobu's ears.

  "Nee-san!" Shinobu cried, tears streaming down her face.

  The reunited sisters had much to discuss. Roy waited patiently until their emotions subsided before speaking.

  "Kanae-san, would you be willing to bey servant?" he asked. "If you agree, I resurrect you. Then, you and Shinobu be together again."

  Roy observed the two sisters, a devilish smile pying on his lips.

  "Shinobu already agreed, didn't she?" Kaeased, gng at her sister.

  "Y-Yes," Shinobu mumbled, blushing and avoiding her sister's gaze.

  "In that case, I accept. But please, let me take Shinobu's pce," Kanae offered.

  She was referring to Shinobu's earlier offer to be "devoured."

  Roy wouldn't allow that, of course. He wasn't about to let such a tempting offer slip away.

  "That's not possible, Kanae-san. Shinobu already made the agreement. One ot go ba a deal with a Devil," Roy decred, wagging his finger.

  Kanae sighed, realizing she had no choice but to ply if she wao be with her sister again.

  "You're quite the greedy Devil, aren't you?" she remarked.

  Roy simply smiled in response, not denying her observation.
