Ai stared at Kaguya holding the pad, even pinching it a few times out of curiosity.
Ai's eyelid twitched.
She tried her best to keep a calm expression and replied evenly, "This is a portable disguise prop for emergency transformation missions."
"Disguise props?"
Kaguya was confused for a second before her expression brightened.
"I see!"
Ai: "…"
As expected of Kaguya, she believed it so easily.
Ai pursed her lips. Her emotions were complicated, but there was a trace of relief too.
Thankfully, it was Kaguya…
But…
Lynn wasn't as easy to fool. He clicked his tongue twice, looked at Ai, then at Kaguya, subconsciously making a comparison.
A minute later, Lynn, who had noticed a few subtle differences, gave his honest judgment.
"Ai, you win!"
Ai's face twitched, letting out a chuckle in her heart.
I don't feel any satisfaction from defeating Kaguya!
Not to mention…
It took him a full minute to tell the difference…
Isn't that basically a loss?
Ai sighed inwardly, slightly ashamed of her own figure, which wasn't all that different from Kaguya's.
I wonder…
After becoming a devil and receiving a blessing, will my chest get bigger?
But…
She glanced at Kaguya, who hadn't changed at all, and gave up any hope.
Lynn held the Evil Piece in his hand, rubbed his chin, and asked, "Do you want it engraved on the front or the back?"
Ai froze, then asked with a strange expression, "I get to choose?"
Lynn shrugged. "Kaguya's front and back are the same, so it doesn't really matter."
Kaguya's expression stiffened.
I feel… kinda hurt.
"You…"
Lynn paused, then continued, "Though you're a bit better than Kaguya, it's not by much, huh?"
This time, it was Ai who felt uncomfortable. She turned around decisively. "Just engrave it on my back!"
She couldn't bear to admit she was basically on Kaguya's level!
Even though… that was the reality.
Ugh…
Ai sobbed in her heart.
Soon, a cool sensation came from her back, snapping her out of her thoughts.
She let out a soft hum as a strange change took place in her body.
She instinctively looked down, but the sight of her clearly visible toes shattered any lingering hopes.
At the same time, a system notification echoed in Lynn's ears.
[Ding! You have obtained peerage member Ai!]
[Ding! Your peerage member Ai has been reincarnated as a special devil!]
Lynn's eyes flickered with surprise.
Another special devil?
This former master and servant pair actually had that kind of potential?
Lynn pulled up Ai's blessing info.

---
As expected, like Kaguya, she was a Low-Class Devil.
Lynn had already predicted this.
After all, they had been ordinary humans.
But…
A devil with a hundred faces?
Lynn narrowed his eyes and studied the Maid Mode entry, puzzled.
Seems like…
These modes are based on Ai's previous disguises?
At first glance, Devil of a Hundred Faces didn't seem that remarkable.
But Lynn didn't think it would be so simple.
He copied the blessing info and handed it to Ai.
Ai looked over her abilities, momentarily dazed.
Seeing that, Lynn said, "Let's test your ability first."
He already had some guesses.
Ai nodded obediently, then closed her eyes and acted on instinct.
"Maid mode."
Buzz—
The moment she spoke, her body was engulfed in black mist.
The next second, the mist dispersed.
Ai now stood before him in a completely different maid outfit, various cleaning tools like brooms hanging from her outfit.
Lynn looked at her new appearance and asked, stroking his chin, "Do you feel anything?"
Ai was silent for a while, then hesitated. "It feels like…"
"Like I can do housework more efficiently now."
Saying that, she looked conflicted.
Even after becoming a devil, her awakened ability still relied on being a maid?
And…
Ai held up a broom with a strange expression. "I think…"
"I unlocked some… new uses for the broom."
Now, it felt like she had been using brooms all her life. Not just for chores—
She even knew combat techniques with them.
But…
Compared to Kaguya's Ice Devil ability, isn't this kind of lame?
Ai felt a little discouraged.
Lynn squinted and continued, "Try something else."
"Yes."
Ai responded and said, "Hot Girl Mode."
Buzz—
Black mist shrouded her again.
The next moment—
She appeared with her hair in a ponytail, her jacket tied around her waist, and bright blue nail polish on her fingers.
It was almost the same as Ai's appearance at school.
She experienced the form, but…
"I don't feel any significant changes."
Lynn shook his head. "Nope."
Then he glanced at Kaguya.
Kaguya's eyes sparkled. "Hayasaka, you look so cool now!"
Ai: "…"
Where did this airheaded version of Kaguya come from again? Bring back the ice queen!
Unable to deal with Kaguya's starry-eyed gaze, Ai quickly switched again!
"Sniper Mode!"
Buzz—
The dense black mist returned.
This time, Ai appeared in a high-end combat outfit, a camo tactical cap on her head, and a rectangular case on her back.
She opened the box, revealing an unassembled sniper rifle.
Her hands moved on their own, skillfully assembling it in seconds.
With the sniper rifle in her grasp, she could instantly judge wind direction, range, and other environmental factors.
She had seemingly mastered every sniping technique without a single teacher, like she and the gun were one.
But…
After the initial excitement, Ai suddenly realized something.
She raised her head and said hesitantly, "Even if the sniper mode has some combat power…"
"It's probably useless against supernatural beings, right?"
Why do all three modes feel kind of… lame?
Ai complained internally.
But…
This skill might be crazy in bed?
Ai glanced at her skin-tight combat suit, which hugged her figure, and began pondering.
Maid, hot girl, leather combat suit…
Would there be Sensei, lawyer, or even Spider-Man next?
Hiss—
Her eyes widened slightly, and she felt like she had unlocked another use for Devil of a Hundred Faces.
She sneakily peeked at Lynn, then quickly looked away.
Devil of a Hundred Faces…
Could this actually be an emotional ability?
Lynn had a different take.
Identity input…
Generates corresponding forms based on the identity info?
Do these forms also gain the associated abilities?
Lynn pulled out his phone and searched for various professions.
Chef, Sensei…
But…
These ordinary professions didn't seem to yield anything special.
He continued scrolling.
Professions like boxer and fighter showed up.
Finally—
Lynn selected the Assassin profession and handed the phone to Ai.
"Try entering this identity into Devil of a Hundred Faces."
Ai took the phone, read the contents, and focused.
Inputting identity…
[Input failed. Identity information incomplete…]
Ai paused. "It says the input failed."
Lynn raised an eyebrow.
Ai added, "It says the identity info is missing."
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
Missing info?
Could it be that the data from a simple web search wasn't enough?
Thinking it over, Lynn messaged Natsuki Minamiya—his all-purpose tool.
---
Lynn: "Books on assassination techniques? What got you so curious?"
Natsuki was a bit surprised after seeing his message.
Lynn: "It's for my peerage."
Got it.
Realization flashed in Natsuki's eyes.
She casually reached out to a few acquaintances, collected some assassination-related material, and sent it to Lynn.
Lynn: "Natsuki-chan, you're really my angel!"
Natsuki's eye twitched.
You're a devil, and you're calling others angels?
But…
Being familiar with Lynn's antics, she more or less let it slide.
Still—
Natsuki: "Don't add 'chan'!!"
Natsuki: "Also, that group recently shaking things up… That was you, right?"
Lynn: "As expected of Natsuki-chan, you figured it out."
Natsuki's face darkened.
He wasn't even trying to deny it, still calling her "Natsuki-chan," and treating her like she was blind.
The words "Lynn Group" were plastered all over. Did he think she couldn't read?
Irritated, she pounded out a response.
Natsuki: "You stirred up a real mess this time."
She didn't elaborate, but Lynn understood—this was about taking over the Shinomiya Zaibatsu.
After all, the Shinomiya group stood at the very top of human society. It was impossible not to draw attention.
But…
Lynn also knew what Natsuki was concerned about.
Lynn: "Relax. Everything with the Shinomiya Zaibatsu will stay the same. There won't be any disruption to human society."
Natsuki: "That's for the best."
After sending that, Natsuki sighed.
The Shinomiya Zaibatsu held massive influence over Japan's finance and banking sectors.
Even the slightest disturbance could cause chaos.
She could only hope Lynn would stay true to his word.
----
Back on Lynn's end.
After receiving the assassin training data, Lynn asked Ai to try again.
[Inputting identity…]
[Identity successfully entered. Assassin Mode acquired!]
Ai's eyes widened slightly. "It… worked?"
Lynn grinned. "Alright. Time to update your blessing."
