Cresil considered the proposal for a moment before nodding in agreement. "I accept," he said, knowing he had nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain. The promise of endless pleasures in the future was too tempting to resist.
"Since you've agreed," Adams said with a smile, "you can join us for a meal."
"Thank you," Cresil replied, eager to indulge. "I must say, I haven't had such a wonderful meal in a long time."
Jack, seated at the table with his usual smirk, couldn't resist a jab. "Oh, and this is our daily consumption. You must have had it rough, lustful demon."
Cresil ignored Jack, having already pegged him as a troublesome and mischievous person. His patience was unyielding, and he refused to rise to the bait.
Linda, noting the tension, offered a gentle reprimand. "Don't mind my son. It's just his nature to make people angry."
Cresil shook his head, dismissing the need for apologies. "There's no need, ma'am. I don't take his words seriously."
Jack bristled at the dismissal, his pride stung. "You know I am on the table with you, right?"
Before Jack could say more, James intervened with a firm voice. "Enough, boy. Focus on your meal, or I'll have to force you."
With that, the table fell silent, and the group ate their fill, each returning to their day with renewed energy.

A month later, laughter echoed through the air as Erren gleefully declared, "Hahaha, big brother, you cheated!"
Adams feigned innocence. "How did I cheat? I caught you fair and square."
Erren pouted, crossing her arms. "Humph, as if I believe that."
Over the past month, Erren and Elamenor had grown closer to the group, especially to Adams and Linda, who had become a maternal figure in their lives.
"Big brother," Erren asked with wide eyes, "can you teach me some of your tricks? I want to be like you when I grow up."
Mabel, overhearing, laughed softly. "Erren dear, you must not be anything like your big brother, okay?"
Erren tilted her head, confused. "Why? Big brother is cool. He can do a lot of magic tricks, and you even said it yourself when you were sitting on the roof at night."
A hint of red crept into Mabel's cheeks at the child's innocent revelation. "How did you know about me going to the roof at night?"
Erren grinned. "I saw you going out, so I followed you. I watched you fly up to the rooftop and decided to follow, but I couldn't climb to the very top. I could still hear you from where I was."
Adams burst into laughter, amused by Erren's audacity. "Hahaha, this is hilarious. Erren, for what you just said, how about I give you something special?"
Erren's eyes sparkled with excitement as she nodded eagerly.
Adams procured a pair of shoes with delicate feathers at the back. "Erren, with these shoes, you can fly like me and your big sister. Just promise not to climb things, okay?"
Erren nodded enthusiastically, slipping on the shoes and immediately taking to the air to show off her newfound ability to her brother.
"She got the hang of it pretty fast," Adams remarked, watching the little girl soar.
Mabel nodded, pride evident in her eyes. "Of course, she would. She's a genius, after all."
As Mabel and Adams chatted, Janice ran toward them, excitement written all over her face. "Mother is about to give birth!"
"That's wonderful news," Mabel exclaimed. "Come on, let's make sure everything goes smoothly for her."
Together, Mabel and Janice hurried off to join the others. Adams was about to follow when he noticed Cresil approaching.
"I can see that you're loving your new look," Adams commented with a smile.
Cresil grinned, his eyes sparkling with vanity. "I didn't look bad before, but my new look is a hundred times—no, a billion times—better than before. With this appearance, I can have all the beauties I want."
Adams sighed, bemused by Cresil's singular focus. Two days ago, he had bestowed power-ups on the demon, and today marked the culmination of Cresil's transformation. His evolution had granted him the appearance of a celestial being, a creature descended upon the divine continent.
Curious about Cresil's newfound abilities, Adams checked his stats.

Adams couldn't help but marvel at the array of powers Cresil now possessed. "Well, now that's what you call a lust demon. You should probably learn how to utilize your new abilities."
Cresil nodded, his eagerness palpable. With a quick farewell, he hurried off, intent on visiting the red district to celebrate his newfound strength with the beauties that awaited him.
