It was clear that Tesra Lindocruz had come for Nelliel.
Midoriko narrowed her eyes slightly, staring silently at Pesche Guatiche.
"!"
Pesche's body tensed. After a brief pause, he looked at the confused Nelliel, his expression growing complicated.
A few seconds passed.
Pesche slowly began to explain everything.
After a while.
Midoriko looked at Nelliel in astonishment.
This little girl…
She actually had such an origin?
Hueco Mundo…
The Espada…
Hearing that, Midoriko's eyes gleamed.
It aligned with the information Lord Lynn had shared.
But…
Nelliel was a former Espada?
And she ranked No.3?!
This…
Midoriko looked at the seemingly harmless and adorable girl.
She really didn't seem to have anything particularly special… just an innocent little girl?
It was hard to imagine that she had once been such a powerful existence.
But…
If that was the case.
Then Nelliel's value was incredibly high, wasn't it?
The former No.3 Espada must have had strength comparable to an ultimate-class devil.
Midoriko's heart stirred.
She was even tempted to offer Nelliel directly to Lynn.
Kikyo was more straightforward. She squatted down and asked seriously, "Do you want to join a Devil Peerage?"
"?"
Nelliel tilted her head. "Devil… Peerage?"
What's that?
Is it tasty?
She blinked, touching her belly, and a bit of clear drool ran down the corner of her mouth.
Kikyo: "…"
Alright.
She's definitely not mature yet…
Both her body and memory have regressed…
Hmm…
How can I get her to join the Peerage?
Midoriko gently patted Nelliel's head. "Nelliel, do you want to get your memories back?"
Nelliel widened her eyes, blinked a few times, then nodded earnestly. "I do!"
Hmm…
Even though Pesche was kind to her, she didn't know why.
She wanted to remember!
And…
She clenched her fists. "Nelliel will beat up all the bad guys who bullied me!"
Even though her mental age was still childlike, she wasn't stupid.
Pesche said that the old Nelliel was very strong!
If she could regain her memories, she'd be able to drive the bad guys away herself!
"Good girl."
Midoriko nodded with satisfaction.
Wasn't that enough?
Even if she didn't know how to restore Nelliel's memories, Lord Lynn probably had a way.
Besides…
During the reincarnation ritual, the negative statuses of Peerage members were also repaired.
Amnesia…
Should be fixable, right?
Seeing this, Miko volunteered, "In that case, let me take Nelliel to see Lord Lynn."
"I was planning to renew my Blessing anyway."
Midoriko nodded. "Then I'll leave Nelliel to you."
Elsewhere.
Pesche opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but…
In front of these women, Pesche didn't have the right to voice any demands.
Apparently…
They were going to take Lady Nelliel to see someone?
Pesche felt uneasy.
And…
Could her memories really be restored?
A moment later.
A magic circle flickered atop the white sand.
Midoriko looked at the hesitant Pesche, thought for a moment, then said, "Take him too. Maybe he can get a job in Hell."
Pesche: "?"
Hell? Job?
He didn't quite get it.
But…
Did that mean he could tag along?
Thinking of that, Pesche's eyes lit up with joy.
He would have felt uneasy if only Lady Nelliel went.
He looked at Midoriko gratefully.
Then—
The magic circle activated.
The figures of Miko and the other two vanished instantly.
After a while.
Hell.
Miko met Lynn.
She held Nelliel's hand, who looked around curiously.
As for Pesche…
Well, he was sent away.
Naturally, he was just waiting outside.
Without Lord Lynn's permission, no one could enter his room.
When Lynn saw Miko and Nelliel, there was no surprise on his face.
Midoriko had already informed him through the group chat before they arrived.
Lynn's gaze landed on Nelliel, examining her carefully.
She was indeed a child…
This…
She was even cuter than his three million lolis.
When he recalled Nelliel's mature form, Lynn's expression turned a bit strange.
The contrast…
He liked it.
Nelliel tugged on Miko's sleeve, hiding behind her while peeking out at Lynn with half her face.
Hmm…
He's a very handsome big brother!
Lynn looked away, then turned to Miko and smiled. "Come here, Miko. I'll help renew your Blessing first."
"Yes."
Miko's face flushed slightly.
It had only been a few days, but seeing Lynn again made her feel a little shy.
She pursed her lips, removed her clothes, then turned and showed her back to Lynn.
Nelliel: "?"
Her eyes were full of confusion.
Why did she take off her clothes?
She blinked, brimming with curiosity.
Soon.
Miko's Blessing update was complete.
Lynn glanced at the sheet and said, "Not bad. Your magic has reached A-rank, and all other stats are at B-rank. You'll probably level up soon."
Even though Lynn had expected it, he was still impressed with Miko's progress.
He stroked his chin. "Looks like Hueco Mundo suits you well."
Compared to the extremely low-quality cursed spirits in the Main World, the Hollows of Hueco Mundo were far superior.
There were plenty of Menos-class Hollows too. And they were easy to find—far more efficient than the Main World.
After handing the updated Blessing sheet to Miko, she beamed upon seeing her rapid growth.
…I guess I'll be catching up to Midoriko and the others soon!
Maybe even…
Surpass Utaha and the rest!
Thinking that, Miko's heart fluttered with excitement.
Meanwhile.
Lynn turned his attention to Nelliel and smiled. "Your turn, little one."
"Huh?"
Nelliel blinked, confused.
Seeing this, Lynn gestured toward Miko. "Just do what she did."
Like Miko?
Nelliel looked at the naked Miko and seemed to understand.
In a flash, she stripped and ran to Lynn with small, quick steps, tilting her head. "Like this?"
Lynn paused for a moment, a bit surprised by her quick response.
But…
Considering Nelliel's current mental state, it wasn't unexpected.
At her current age, there were things she simply didn't understand.
Lynn picked her up and sat her on his lap, facing away.
He summoned an Evil Piece and pressed it gently against Nelliel's back.
"?"
Nelliel blinked as a buzzing sensation filled her head, leaving her dazed.
Under the effect of the reincarnation ritual, something deeply buried in her mind was forcibly drawn out.
Familiar yet distant memories surged through her consciousness.
"Ugh…"
Nelliel frowned and let out a soft groan.
At the same time.
A system notification rang in Lynn's ears.
[Ding! You have obtained the Peerage member Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck!]
[Ding! Your Peerage member Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck has been reincarnated as a Special-Class Devil!]
