Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Fami’s Invitation
When Kotone Asaba heard Asa Mitaka identify Makima as the Control Devil, he immediately realized that the War Devil must have recognized her.
It was not a particularly important matter, so Kotone returned to his own thoughts.
Although the Famine Devil’s page had now been unlocked in the Affinity Codex, he had no intention of actively seeking her out.
The Famine Devil’s target was the War Devil. Now that the War Devil had merged with Asa, Famine would inevitably discover it sooner or later, assuming she did not already know. That meant it was only a matter of time before she approached Asa.
In most situations, pretending their encounter happened by chance would be far more appropriate than deliberately approaching the Famine Devil.
After all, Fami was just as intelligent as Makima. War was the only idiot among them.
After classes ended that day, something happened almost immediately, just as Kotone had expected.
The moment class was dismissed, a quiet-looking girl wearing glasses, with a few freckles on her face, came directly into the classroom looking for him.
She was clearly from another class.
The girl invited Kotone, Makima, and Asa to join the Devil Hunter Club.
However, Kotone felt that she seemed genuinely shy and reserved. Her nervous behavior did not appear to be an act, so someone had probably ordered her to deliver the invitation.
"F-Fami from the student council discovered something about your identities, Asaba and Makima, so she wants to invite you to join the Devil Hunter Club..." the girl explained.
Kotone nodded slightly.
It really was the Famine Devil. The name she had chosen for herself was Fami.
"Then why was I invited too?" Asa asked in confusion.
"I-I’m sorry! I’m not really sure either. Fami didn’t explain everything in detail," the girl replied anxiously.
"All right..."
To be honest, Asa had never been particularly interested in the Devil Hunter Club.
However, she would gladly join if it could help her become an official Devil Hunter in the future, because that would allow her to grow closer to Kotone.
She was also very concerned about whether Kotone and Makima would accept the invitation. If they agreed, she definitely would not refuse.
Just as Asa looked toward Kotone and Makima, Kotone answered the girl.
"We’re willing to accept the invitation. Protecting everyone is our duty, after all."
"All right. Are you free to come to the Devil Hunter Club with me now?" the girl asked.
"I have no problem with it. The rest depends on what they want."
Kotone turned his gaze toward Asa and Makima.
After seeing Kotone’s attitude, Makima naturally had no objections.
"I’m free too," Asa quickly added.
The three of them then followed the girl to the Devil Hunter Club.
The Devil Hunter Club had a large clubroom reserved exclusively for its activities.
"Thank you to all the first-year students for coming!"
"Welcome to the Devil Hunter Club entrance test!"
"Our Devil Hunter Club only accepts elites capable of fighting Devils!"
"Next, you will patrol the town and hunt Devils in teams of three!"
"Only those who return within one week carrying a Devil’s corpse will pass the test!"
An upperclassman from the Devil Hunter Club was currently speaking into a microphone.
Many first-year students wanted to join the club. Most of them either considered becoming a Devil Hunter a great honor or harbored intense hatred toward Devils.
Kotone, Makima, and Asa were naturally present as well. Although the student council had invited them, they received no special privileges.
Kotone did not want the privilege of joining the club directly. Doing so would make the other students suspicious, and he had no intention of carelessly exposing his true identity yet. That would interfere with his future plans.
At present, very few people at the school knew his true identity. Aside from Asa, there was Fami, and perhaps several other members of the student council.
In any case, all three of them had to take the entrance test. However, it was quite simple and could easily be completed.
"To make sure everything is fair and impartial, I’ll divide everyone into random groups!"
At that moment, a girl with noticeable dark circles under her eyes stepped out from behind the upperclassman.
"You over there, you... and you! The three of you will form a team. Do your best!"
The three people she had supposedly selected at random were Kotone, Makima, and Asa.
"Huh...?"
Asa stared in astonishment. How could a completely random selection just happen to place the three of them together?
Kotone understood immediately.
Makima had clearly intervened. She had controlled the girl and made her assign the three of them to the same group.
The girl would not realize she had been controlled. Even after Makima released her, she would still remain unaware, since she was only an ordinary human.
No one else would notice anything strange either, since barely anyone there knew the three of them.
