Rane looked up at the dome of the Pixie Hall, a strange calm spreading above.

He knew this was because the world he saw differed from the pixies’ perspective. The Pixie King and the Calamity were battling in the spirit realm, invisible to human eyes.

Only after signing a covenant with a pixie could he temporarily see the spirit realm from their viewpoint.

If the Calamity was not stopped here, the Pixie Hall would be corrupted, losing its purity.

The moment the hall lost its purity, all pixies would change in nature, becoming a race serving the invading Calamity.

At that point, the Pixie Covenant would cease to exist and the Calamity could even use the corrupted covenant to manipulate humans who had once allied with the Pixie King.

Rane increasingly felt this invasion was likely aimed at corrupting the covenant to control humans.

Then not only Rita and Claude’s family, but Rane himself could be affected.

He must help the Pixie King repel the Calamity. Both were like locusts on the same rope; aiding the Pixie King meant aiding himself.

Rane’s gaze hardened.

Seeing Kaka’s respectful attitude, he felt he had a good chance.

“Kaka, I need your help. Sign a covenant with me and become the savior of your people.”

As he spoke, he felt something white and fluffy, with red eyes, staring at him.

Hearing that a great being wanted to sign a Pixie Covenant with it, Kaka felt electricity run through its body. The thrill of recognition from a god nearly made it hum in delight.

“I am willing to serve you, great Master of the Covenant!”

‘Why hesitate? God has already appointed me savior of the people! Boss… no! Pixie King, your 72 combat power is no longer sufficient to remain in that position! From now on, I, divine servant Kaka, shall be the new leader! The Pixie Hall will welcome its new ruler!’

“It is my honor!”

Impatient, Kaka exploded on the spot, transforming into streams of brilliant glyphs that entered Rane’s consciousness from his forehead.

“Ah!”

Rita was startled, a look of panic crossing her face. But seeing Rane remain expressionless and calm, she straightened her chest in defiance, as if proving something to herself.

Rane glanced at her, baffled.

‘The covenant isn’t yours, why so proud?’

Ignoring her confused behavior, he focused on feeling the pixie’s oath process within his consciousness.

The oath process involved the pixie carving a unique mark into the mind of the covenantor. The covenantor must fully accept the mark’s existence.

At the moment of signing, each pixie begins to change shape, completing evolution after the oath, revealing a new form.

The final appearance depends on the pixie’s will and the covenantor’s perception of it.

Rane remembered that Rita’s pixie, Nunu, evolved into a beautiful light butterfly.

Kaka had never signed a covenant in the original story, so Rane was curious about Kaka’s evolved form.

Soon, his eyes brightened. The memories in his mind, like fog, were clearing.

‘The covenant was complete!’

Simultaneously, the pixie glyphs imprinted in Rane’s mind surged from his forehead, reconstructing into a new form.

After a few seconds, a small figure appeared before them, wearing a green maid outfit.

Kaka’s new form resembled a miniature fairy from fantasy works, just over ten centimeters tall, with long green hair, pointed ears and two thin, translucent wings.

Looking at the green figure, Rane pondered.

Apart from the slightly mismatched maid outfit, Kaka’s form reminded him of a mischievous little fairy from a risqué RPG.

‘Is this my perception of pixies? And the maid outfit represented Kaka’s will? It wished to serve me? No!’

The dying memories were attacking his mind.

Rane worried Kaka might start writing fairy tales at any moment.

‘I really have to give you a happy life. But sometimes, memories becoming too clear isn’t entirely good.’

Compared to Rane’s inner panic, Kaka was pleased with its new form.

Its appearance matched divine aesthetics, attire expressed loyalty and gender was likely influenced by the maid outfit.

A minor point: pixies have no gender distinction.

But since gods present as male, how could a divine servant continue with ambiguous gender?

That would be disrespectful to the god!

Kaka was aware. It even chose a new name and a new speech habit to celebrate rebirth.

“Respected covenantor, this humble servant requests to serve you under a new name. ‘Mary Sue,’ what do you think of this name?”

“No, Kaka is fine. I like it; you don’t need to abandon your original name.”

Hearing the new name, Rane nearly turned green.

‘That name isn’t allowed and the speech habit isn’t allowed either.’

But rejecting everything might dampen Kaka’s enthusiasm, so he let the renaming idea slide.

‘The speech habit? Let it be…’

Kaka was momentarily disappointed but quickly adjusted.

‘God doesn’t want me to change my name; it shows He values the old, is loving and tolerant.’ TL: He being capitalized refers to the godlike perception of Rane from Kaka.]

Kaka bowed even lower in respect.

From start to finish, Kaka only looked at Rane directly once. After glimpsing the grandeur of the god, it kept its head lowered while speaking.

The dazzling score once made past Kaka feel that looking directly at Rane was a sin.

But now, as a divine servant, it presumably had the right to behold the godly visage.

Its excitement made Kaka lift its head.

‘Indeed! God is still so majestic! So dazzling! Look at that determined face, cold gaze, over-the-top score…’

Suddenly, seeing the number above Rane’s head, Kaka was struck dumb, disbelief on its face. Was it dreaming?

‘God!? Where is God? That huge 100… The number above God’s head—was it missing a 0? 10? What wild stray dog is this? Not even fit to carry my shoes!’

Yet the covenant sense confirmed that this person was the one who gleefully signed the covenant, the god-like existence.

‘Why!? Why has God’s combat power dropped below a roadside mutt’s? Damn… did I follow the wrong person?!’
