"Wait! Envy, let me come with you," Koyuki called out, following Envy as she left the living room, leaving Daniel confined within the protective bubble.

"Envy, was Daniel cursed by Asmodeus? Is he powerful enough to curse him without him noticing? Even with all those strong defensive enchantments Daniel keeps on himself?" Koyuki asked.

"No, it's not a curse—it's the opposite," Envy answered as she concentrated on completing the intricate hellish magic circle.

"Opposite?" Koyuki thought aloud. "Could it be...a blessing? But why would Asmodeus want to bless Daniel? He's not even one of his worshippers, so why bother?" Koyuki pressed.
