「Inside the Gate World.」
The glow around Kajimi grew increasingly intense.
At this point, the red light wasn’t just coming from her wings.
A red glow emanated from her horns as well.
"Six stars!"
Fang Xiu stared intently at Kajimi.
Fang Xiu knew that once all seven stars of the Big Dipper were formed, Kajimi’s evolution would be a success.
The Energy from the seven materials was growing weaker and weaker.
Yet the final star remained unlit.
’Don’t tell me there isn’t enough Energy...’
Fang Xiu looked at the seven materials with a hint of worry.
The quantity written on the Scroll was "1" for each.
But Fang Xiu had no idea if the portions delivered were sufficient!
If someone had shaved off even a tiny bit from any of the materials, it might not be enough.
’It has to be enough!’
Fang Xiu thought to himself, his eyes darting back and forth between the seven materials and the wings on Kajimi’s back.
He was terrified that the remaining Energy wouldn’t be enough for Kajimi’s upgrade.
’Six and a half stars!’
As Fang Xiu watched the stars on her wings, he saw that the seventh one was already halfway lit.
And now, the Energy was visibly about to run out.
A wave of anxiety washed over Fang Xiu.
’If this isn’t enough, I’ll hunt down whoever cut corners and gave me insufficient materials and Sacrifice them!’
Fang Xiu clenched his fists.
He couldn’t afford to fail.
It could have a significant, negative impact on Kajimi.
If it left her unable to ever increase her strength again, Fang Xiu would never forgive them.
’The Energy... it’s gone. The last star...’
Fang Xiu watched as the Energy condensed from the seven materials was completely consumed.
The last glimmer of light vanished.
Fang Xiu’s gaze snapped to Kajimi’s wings.
There, Energy was gathering.
The spot for the final star slowly began to light up.
’Almost there, just a little bit more!’
Fang Xiu watched the final star; it was just shy of being complete!
His eyes were glued to it.
Fortunately, the Energy seemed to be just enough.
The sellers hadn’t short-changed him.
The final one, the seventh star of the Big Dipper, lit up.
It embedded itself directly into Kajimi’s wings.
Instantly, an incredibly intense light erupted from Kajimi’s body.
’Blinding!’
Fang Xiu squinted, shielding his eyes with his hand.
However, the red light had already completely enveloped Kajimi’s body.
Fang Xiu couldn’t see what was happening within the red glow at all.
Fortunately, the red light didn’t last long.
It soon vanished.
When Fang Xiu opened his eyes, he saw Kajimi floating in mid-air, her arms crossed over her chest.
Her legs were curled up.
Her wings were wrapped perfectly around her body.
But... she was completely naked.
As Fang Xiu looked up at her from the ground,
he had a crystal-clear view from below.
COUGH, COUGH.
Fang Xiu cleared his throat.
His eyes, however, didn’t move away.
Instead, he remained staring intently at the mid-air Kajimi.
A trace of red light flickered in his eyes.
Just then, Kajimi also opened her eyes.
She looked down at Fang Xiu on the ground, her gaze meeting his as the corners of her lips curled into a smirk.
She gave a triumphant little smile.
Heedless of her nudity, she flapped her wings and descended right to Fang Xiu’s side.
Fang Xiu stared at the Kajimi before him, captivated.
He reached out and ran a hand through Kajimi’s flowing red hair.
His eyes held a mesmerized look.
He closed his eyes for a moment, as if savoring the fragrance of her hair.
Kajimi looked at Fang Xiu before her, her lips parting slightly as she asked in a soft voice, "Master, am I beautiful?"
Fang Xiu looked at Kajimi and nodded slightly. "Beautiful."
"Then does Master... want me?"
Kajimi asked.
The red glow in Fang Xiu’s eyes flickered. He seemed to be struggling.
"Kajimi belongs to Master. My Soul, my body... both are loyal to Master."
Kajimi spoke again.
The red glow in Fang Xiu’s eyes flared once more.
He looked at Kajimi, walked over slowly, and pulled her into his arms.
"Yes. Everything about you... belongs to me!"
Fang Xiu gazed at the Kajimi before him, his voice low and raspy, almost a growl.
"Kajimi belongs to Master!"
Kajimi’s voice was soft and delicate, laced with a hint of allure.
Then, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Fang Xiu’s neck.
She slowly leaned closer.
Fang Xiu watched her red lips draw nearer and nearer.
A smirk played on his lips.
He spoke softly, "Kajimi, you’ve got a lot of nerve, daring to use your Charm Skill on me."
Kajimi’s body trembled at the sound of Fang Xiu’s voice.
"M-Master!"
Kajimi hadn’t expected that Fang Xiu wasn’t completely ensnared by her Charm.
"Aren’t you going to dispel the Charm Skill?"
Fang Xiu commanded.
"Y-Yes, Master!"
Kajimi replied hurriedly.
She reached out and snapped her fingers.
A streak of red light shot out from Fang Xiu’s body and into Kajimi’s wings.
Only then did clarity return to Fang Xiu’s eyes.
When he looked at Kajimi again, she was back in her familiar red dress.
Fang Xiu didn’t know if everything that had just happened was an illusion, or if Kajimi had managed to put on her clothes in that single instant.
But one thing was clear...
’Kajimi’s Charm Skill has reached this level... It seems her promotion was a success!’
Fang Xiu looked at Kajimi.
Kajimi stood with her head bowed, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
Fang Xiu smiled faintly. "Kajimi, you’ve certainly gotten bold."
"M-Master, I won’t do it again!"
Kajimi said hurriedly.
Fang Xiu shook his head helplessly.
It couldn’t be helped. It seemed Kajimi had always harbored certain... ideas about him, her master.
’Is it because of the contract?’
For a moment, Fang Xiu considered dissolving the contract.
But he didn’t know what impact an unbound, disobedient Succubus might have on this world.
Fang Xiu could do without a Succubus, but he could not allow the world to be destroyed at her hands.
"Forget it,"
Fang Xiu said with a resigned sigh after a moment of thought.
He couldn’t really blame Kajimi, either.
The fact that he had fallen for her Charm was because his own will wasn’t firm enough.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been Charmed so easily.
"Hee hee, Master is the best!"
Seeing that Fang Xiu wasn’t going to punish her, Kajimi finally lifted her head and beamed.
"If there’s a next time, I won’t be so lenient,"
Fang Xiu said with resignation.
Kajimi nodded quickly. "Yes, Master! There definitely won’t be a next time."
"Well, it seems this promotion was a success,"
Fang Xiu said, looking at Kajimi.
He then immediately checked Kajimi’s stats!
He was delighted by what he saw!
