A Righteous Demon Girl and the Angel She’ll Never Meet-Chapter 20 : Chapter 20

Chapter 20 : Satan, Typhon
After hanging up the phone with his good daughter, Satan, the Lord of Hell, sighed somewhat wearily.
His sturdy and imposing figure slowly rose from the throne, and he strolled to the edge of the cliff in front of the throne, overlooking the entire landscape of Hell.
This was the location of Satan's throne, and also the highest point in all of Hell and the Gate of Hell, which led to the human world and Heaven, was precisely embedded in the stone wall directly opposite the throne.
“Did you tell Little Iphilia?”
Behind Satan, Lucifer, the six-winged angel bearing the name of Fallen angel, slowly walked towards him.
At this moment, Lucifer's handsome face was full of worry.
It was he who, together with Satan, had previously examined the soul conditions of the deceased in those few cases and unlike what they told Iphilia, they had indeed found something through the Karmic chain, and that… was precisely the source of the worry on Lucifer's face now.
“I only told her that the souls of the deceased have not entered reincarnation and are still trapped in the human world. As for the rest, it's not time yet.”
Satan spoke slowly.
The dignified Lord of Hell actually had a hint of worry flickering in his eyes, just like Lucifer.
It was hard to imagine that, with his status and strength, there still existed things in this world that even he felt somewhat helpless about.
“It's those people from the Advent Faction. I didn't expect that they, who have been in hiding for many years, would actually resume their activities, and with such high-profile actions right from the start, it's almost like… declaring war on us.”
A faint killing intent flashed in Lucifer's eyes, and a black and white light vaguely circulated around his body.
“The people of the Advent Faction are merely leaping clowns. What's truly worrisome is… now that they have resumed such large-scale sacrifices, even including a high-ranking elf, does this mean… He is about to return?”
“Does she know about this matter?”
“…You should know, I haven't contacted her for a long time.”
It seemed that because Lucifer mentioned a certain person, Satan's expression darkened, as if he had recalled some unpleasant memories.
“Sigh… Brother Satan… No, Typhon, after all these years, when will you change this tsundere personality of yours? What time is it now?”
“Lucifer, you were once an angel, don't you know how sinister Mikaili is behind the scenes? I suffered enough losses back then. If I could, I would rather never see her again until I die.”
“You… you're hopeless…”
Lucifer shook his head helplessly.
After so many years of getting along, he had come to understand the personality of Satan, or rather, his old friend Typhon, quite well.
But it was precisely because he understood him so well that he was surprised that Typhon could put on such a dignified and oppressive demeanor at the Hell council.
One could only say that he was indeed Iphilia's biological father; Little Iphilia's personality was practically carved from the same mold as Typhon's.
“Then what do you plan to do? Just wait like this?”
“Of course not. It's just that according to our calculations back then, there's still a considerable amount of time before His true return. Before the situation becomes serious enough to require our intervention, both she and I will temporarily remain silent.”
The long black hair on the back of Typhon's head gradually turned wine-red, and his crimson eyes slowly transformed into pure gold.
In an instant, an extremely terrifying and majestic aura spread out from Typhon as the center, gradually enveloping the entire Hell.
“This world has been peaceful for too long… It's time to become restless again.”
…
Returning the perspective to Iphilia, after hanging up the phone with her stinky old dad, she still continued to head towards home.
However, the relaxed and joyful aura that she originally exuded had long since disappeared, replaced by heaviness and worry.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
Just as Iphilia was worrying about where to start her investigation next, a series of tender and crisp barks interrupted her thoughts.
Iphilia looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small, snow-white puppy suddenly appear at the fork in the road ahead, barking excitedly at her.
“Puppy! So cute!”
Iphilia's eyes immediately lit up, and the worries that had been troubling her were instantly thrown to the back of her mind.
She loved these fluffy little cuties the most!
Iphilia trotted a couple of steps and carefully approached the little dog's side.
She squatted down and gently clapped her hands at it, afraid that a moment of carelessness would scare this cute little fellow away.
“Woo～”
The little fellow hesitated for a moment, but still obediently walked to Iphilia's front and stuck out its tender little pink tongue, trying to lick Iphilia's outstretched little hand.
“So cute, so cute , so cute!!!”
Iphilia felt like her heart was about to melt from this cute little fellow.
She excitedly picked up the little dog from the ground and affectionately nuzzled its fluffy cheek.
Feeling this squirming and somewhat uneasy little furball on her face, Iphilia couldn't help but be overjoyed, as if several bright pink little flowers had bloomed beside her.
“Little fellow, where did you come from? If you have nowhere to go, how about coming home with your big sister?”
Iphilia already loved cute little animals like this very much.
The reason she hadn't kept a pet before was because she was too busy with executing justice and didn't have the time or energy to care about such matters.
Now that she had the chance, she naturally really wanted to take this cute and affectionate little puppy home and raise it.
“But there's a new housemate in the house… I wonder if the other person likes dogs? What if they don't like them? After all, she's sort of half a landlord and a girl, I should at least pay some attention to the other person's opinion…”
At this moment, Iphilia, who suddenly remembered that she was no longer living alone, instantly felt a little melancholic.
Not everyone in this world likes to keep pets.
If her new housemate was the type of girl who didn't like pets, then wouldn't it be not so good if she brought this puppy back?
“What to do”
Iphilia lifted the little fellow in her hands, looked it in the eyes, and muttered to herself in distress.
However, just as Iphilia was hesitating whether to take this little fellow in front of her back, a sudden change occurred—the little fellow, which had been exceptionally well-behaved in Iphilia's hands, suddenly began to struggle painfully and just as Iphilia was startled, thinking she might have accidentally hurt it, the little fellow's body suddenly began to grow larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Its teeth became sharper, its claws became more formidable, and finally, it transformed into a vicious beast the size of a wild wolf. Before Iphilia could react, it bit her neck in one mouthful.
In an instant, blood splattered.
