How is she surprised by the fact that a contract with a devil makes your soul go to hell when you die? Is it a translation issue and the word she uses to describe herself doesn't translate directly very well and the translators decided to use the word devil? Because I'm pretty sure that anyone with even the slightest amount of religious knowledge that you would gain from living in a world that has Christianity would let you know that making a deal with a devil is the fastest way to get your soul into hell.

jirai /akuma kei outfit is great, surprised no couples cosplay yet
guess it's convenient to have a washing machine but at that point might as well have staff do it for you even if it's not necessarily a brothel XD; versus potential men/women using it b/c they're cheating and washing the scent off XD
i'm sure imoni is good but the extra push makes me think they're sponsored by something or maybe some ppl made too much and trying to give some away
I guess other than surface level knowledge of succubi she didn't realize the weight of it before then, esp with all the 'cutesy devil' stuff you see in JP media
imagine if she ends up going to hell anyways b/c of another reason XD;

Well, here's a clue about what his father couldn't offer her mother to be together without a contract: yuri.

She uses 悪魔 (akuma) to refer to herself, which is the word for devil/demon. The kanji literally mean "evil" 悪 and "demon" 魔 but it's not inherently tied to Christianity.
Christianity makes up less than 1% of Japan's population and it's mostly only seen through symbolism or aesthetics rather than actual religious beliefs or knowledge, so definitely an intentional explanation on the part of the author.

The devils in this story aren't the same as the Devil in Christianity, and the Japanese word akuma (悪魔), meaning "devil" or "demon", consists of "evil" and "demon". So think more of it like a demon or a generic evil being. Why translate as "devil"? It's to keep consistent with how the author herself describes Lily, and because it allows for expressions/puns such as the title My Devilishly Sweet Girlfriend, and "Oh my devil!" (as opposed to "Oh my god!"). I could've used the word "demon" instead, but I think "devil" fits better.
It's Japan. All they know about Christianity is whatever they got from reading Marimite. lol
