Puck looked somewhat dazed.
It felt as though he had merely taken a nap, only for the whole world to turn upside down.
Emilia and Ram retracted their wings at the same time.
"Puck, being a devil feels wonderful."
Emilia said, "You could ask Master to reincarnate you as a devil too."
"Huh?"
Puck's eyelids twitched. He was at a loss.
"It should be possible."
Emilia explained, "Even Oni and gods can reincarnate as devils. I'm sure you could too."
Puck hesitated. "Well..."
"Don't overthink it. I'm not going to agree."
Lin Luo said irritably, "I'm only interested in beautiful girls."
"And while you're genderless, you're still not on my menu."
Puck: "..."

Lin Luo smiled faintly. "I'd just kill you."

Puck's mouth twitched as he stared at Lin Luo.

I almost got killed over something like that.
I never would've imagined it.
Sure enough.
A man's jealousy was the scariest thing of all...

"Master, you're joking, aren't you?"
Emilia said plaintively, "Killing someone over something like that..."
"No, killing an animal, rather. Isn't that a little wrong?"
Lin Luo shrugged. "Do I look like someone who listens to reason?"
Sure enough, Master really was a devil.
"Relax. There's no point dwelling on so many what-ifs."
Lin Luo patted her head. "If Puck were male, I wouldn't have taken you as my familiar in the first place."
Emilia: "..."
Ram quipped, "As expected, Master is an incurably lustful devil."
"Why, thank you
