The next day.
After their sex session, the group began cleaning the mansion.
The defiled and tarnished inverted crucifix was burned with the trash, and the four of them worked together to erase the unholy traces from the floor.
Lumia used her divine power to purify the area.
Elena, watching her, asked curiously,
“You can still use divine power even after having sex with a demon? You even drew a strange symbol on your lower abdomen.”
Lumia was sweeping the floor with her divine power as if using a broom.
The black marks left by the tentacles and the demon disappeared with each wave of her hand.
She kept her eyes on the floor as she spoke to Elena,
“Divine power and faith are unrelated. It’s a talent. Just as I don’t suddenly become less intelligent or lose limbs because I follow a demon.”
“Then a priestess who believes in demons is incredibly dangerous, since people wouldn’t even notice.”
“Yes. That’s why priests undergo regular character training to prevent corruption, and even priests without divine power are taught how to deal with demons.”
“But, like… doesn’t your body feel strange when you use divine power?”
Lumia paused at Elena’s question and looked up.
Elena, startled by her emotionless gaze, quickly looked away.
The woman who had acted like a bitch all night had returned to her usual priestly demeanor as soon as she regained her senses.
Elena couldn’t tell if her change of heart was genuine or just an act.
Lumia stared at Elena, then scratched her head and blushed.
“Well, um… Just between us…”
Elena froze, taken aback by Lumia’s unexpectedly shy tone.
She wasn’t used to seeing Lumia like this.
So she responded awkwardly,
“Yeah? Yeah?”
“To be honest, using divine power after receiving the demon’s mark… it feels… forbidden, and it’s kind of exciting. I wonder why I didn’t do this sooner.”
“…Oh, okay.”
It seemed she had definitely lost it.
Saying such strange things with a straight face, Elena thought Lumia seemed more like a demon than Evan.
“Lumia, are you done cleaning inside?”
The door opened, and Evan appeared, asking his question.
His face and body were covered in soot because he had been digging a hole in the backyard and burning the debris.
Lumia quickly turned her head and continued cleaning as if nothing had happened, while Elena stood there awkwardly.
“What? You haven’t finished cleaning yet?”
“I think I’ll be done soon. How about you, Master Evan?”
“I took care of the crucifix and everything outside. Is there anything else to do?”
“Then, please wait here for a moment.”
“Here?”
Lumia, while continuing to channel divine power with one hand, pointed to the spot beside her.
Evan stood next to her with a puzzled expression, and Lumia linked arms with him before continuing to clean.
Elena chuckled, amused by the scene, and Lumia’s ears turned red at the sound.
Evan, wrapping an arm around Lumia’s waist, asked,
“Do you like me that much?”
“Master Evan is my religion, my love. From the moment you embraced me here that day, my destiny changed. To be honest, I’m a little sad to have to erase these traces of our love.”
“But you said you have to erase them to prove you performed the exorcism, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. There can’t be any unholy traces left in a place that’s been exorcised.”
“How about me now? Do I smell like a demon?”
Evan asked, spreading his arms.
That day, while having sex with Lumia, the demon had also taught Evan how to conceal his demonic energy.
Evan had diligently practiced the method to deceive the priests, but neither Isabelle nor Elena could sense much of a difference.
Lumia stared at Evan, then grinned and said,
“You seem just like a human. And you’re still handsome.”
“Good. Let me know when you’re done cleaning. I’ll be outside cleaning up the ashes.”
“Alright.”
Evan patted Lumia’s ass and went back outside.
Lumia’s eyes widened in surprise, then she covered her blushing face and resumed cleaning.
Elena, heading towards the kitchen, asked,
“What do you want to drink?”
Lumia, blushing, looked around nervously and asked cautiously,
“What kind of cup does Master Evan use?”
Elena still couldn’t get used to seeing Lumia like this.
“…We don’t have designated cups or anything. Only the mistress has her own cup. Evan and I just use whatever.”
“Oh…”
Lumia smacked her lips, looking disappointed.
Elena shook her head and said,
“Just hurry up and finish cleaning!”
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Finally. The demon is dead.”
Evan and the others, having erased all traces from the mansion, stood before Carlson’s corpse.
Lumia, with an indifferent expression, looked at Carlson’s withered body and said those words.
Carlson’s corpse, drained by the demon, was shockingly thin and pale, stiffly rigid.
Lumia said,
“Now, if Master Evan infuses Carlson’s corpse with demonic energy, we’ll be done. The story will be that Carlson, influenced by demonic power, went on a rampage and was subdued and killed, and that I exorcised the demon controlling him with a simple ritual.”
“Sounds good. Should I infuse it now?”
“Yes.”
In front of Isabelle and Elena, Evan rolled up his sleeves.
Black smoke enveloped his pale forearms, and demonic energy shot out towards Carlson’s corpse.
The withered body twitched, and a foul stench rose as the surrounding grass began to wither.
Lumia watched the process with an impassive expression.
The corpse, now infused with demonic energy, sprouted horns on its head and gained some muscle mass.
Evan, sweating profusely, stepped back.
He had thought it would be a simple task, but it had taken a surprising amount of energy.
Carlson’s corpse was now so transformed that it was hard to recognize him.
One would have to scrutinize his face closely to realize it was Carlson.
“Wow, that was surprisingly tiring.”
“That’s because each demon has their own specialty. If you had a talent for transforming bodies with demonic energy, Master Evan, it would have been easier.”
Lumia said this as she used her divine power to create a small hole in Carlson’s chest.
“Demonic energy transforms the human body. Even after death. It’s impossible to tell whether the transformation happened after death or if the already transformed body was killed.”
“Why don’t I transform?”
Lumia answered Evan’s question,
“Incubi and succubi often retain their human form, even with mixed blood.”
“That’s a relief. I was worried my true form would be something like this.”
Carlson, with goat-like horns on his head and a protruding face, looked exactly like a demon from a fairy tale.
Isabelle and Elena both shook their heads with disgust.
Lumia said,
“Now, I’ll call a priest from the temple and have them confirm Carlson’s demonic transformation. Their eyewitness accounts will be much more credible than my claim alone. As a warning against demons, Carlson’s demonically corrupted corpse will be displayed in the town square after being properly secured, and then cremated after a sufficient amount of time.”
Lumia said this and drew a circle in the air.
A circle emitting holy light formed around Carlson’s corpse.
Evan frowned and turned his head away as soon as he saw the circle.
Lumia said to Evan,
“Master Evan, you have to endure this much. If you turn your head away every time a priest uses a holy object or power, there’s no way for me to hide it.”
“Alright, alright.”
Evan said this and turned his head back.
No matter how many times he saw it, that holy circle made him feel uneasy.
He felt a wave of dizziness, like being on a boat, watching a pendulum swing while riding the waves.
“It’s done.”
Lumia dusted off her hands.
Carlson’s corpse was undeniably a demon.
Evan and the others decided to believe that Carlson had truly been a demon.
After all, his life had been nothing short of demonic.
Elena, without being prompted, started speaking with a mournful expression,
“I never knew Master was a demon. I just thought he was a scumbag.”
Isabelle chuckled at Elena’s joke and nodded.
Lumia walked past the two laughing women and knelt before Evan.
Evan stroked her head.
“Good work.”
“Thank you. Then, I’ll be going to the temple for a bit.”
Lumia pulled down Evan’s pants.
Evan readily complied.
His hard cock sprang out in front of Lumia.
Lumia grinned and kissed his cock.
“I love you, Master.”
Evan, kissing Lumia’s forehead, thought,
Now, all that was left was to live happily ever after.
