A Righteous Demon Girl and the Angel She’ll Never Meet-Chapter 29 : Chapter 29

Chapter 29 : Now, where are you?
“By the way, Iphilia-chan, if I remember correctly, aren’t you demons supposed to be very good at close-quarters combat? Why do I feel like every time I see you fight… you’re using summoning magic?”
Aimiya suddenly seemed to remember something, raised an index finger to her chin, tilted her head, and asked Iphilia.
『Crap! She noticed!』
Iphilia looked a little embarrassed.
Indeed, just as Aimiya said, she had never faced an enemy directly in battle.
She had always used her easily inscribed summoning magic circle for quick summoning, then commanded the summoned creature to fight the enemy.
And this was Iphilia's “flaw” as a demon.
“Ahem… Actually… my situation is quite similar to yours…”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“Just like you can’t use blessing magic… my constitution is too weak, I can only summon magic…”
There was a clear hint of regret in Iphilia's voice.
As a former boy, Iphilia had always longed for battles involving swords and magic like Aimiya's.
But the problem was… her physical constitution was truly too weak! Let alone comparing it to other demons, with her constitution, she was afraid even elves could easily handle her…
“Uh… then that’s indeed quite fated… haha… haha…”
Aimiya laughed awkwardly twice.
Wasn't it fated? An angel who couldn't use blessing magic and a demon who could only use summoning magic.
Such talents, you probably couldn't find a second one even if you searched through the entire angel and demon races, and they actually met.
One could only say that fate, or rather,『Destiny』, was sometimes just that magical.
Moreover, this could no longer be considered truth-telling; this was simply exposing someone's secrets…
“Why did Iphilia-classmate come to the human world? Wouldn’t it be freer in Hell?”
After a brief silence, Aimiya changed the subject again.
There was no helping it; the first two topics had basically exposed all their sensitive points, so it was definitely not appropriate to continue.
Of course, this was also one of the questions Aimiya was more curious about.
A demon less than two years old… ahem, such a young demon not staying obediently in Hell, but instead coming to the human world to “execute justice,” no matter how you thought about it, it was very strange, right?
“Life in Hell is very comfortable, but it’s too comfortable, it easily makes people lose their fighting spirit.”
“Then does Iphilia-chan have friends in Hell? To be honest, I’m quite lonely, at least in Heaven, I don’t have a single friend.”
“Woo… I basically don’t have any either…”
“Huh? Such a cute child like Iphilia-chan can’t make friends either? Were you ostracized?”
Saying that, Aimiya quietly glanced at the pair of small wings on Iphilia's head.
Those were definitely not something a demon should possess.
If one were to deduce from this point, and then consider Iphilia's constitution, which was so frail it didn't seem like a demon's, as well as the pair of splendid, colorful wings on her waist, her identity was basically ready to be revealed—she was probably a half-blood of a demon and some other race.
In most races, the purity of bloodline and talent in strength were basically equivalent.
Therefore, the identity of a half-blood was not well-received in any race and was very likely to be ostracized and bullied.
“Uh… Me? Ostracized?”
Iphilia asked back in confusion.
She didn't expect Aimiya to actually think in that direction.
Setting aside other things for now, just with her identity as Satan's daughter, the Princess of Hell, who in all of Hell would ostracize her? Who would dare to ostracize her?
They probably thought their lives were too long!
And the reason Iphilia had no friends in Hell was also very simple.
It was purely because she lived under the protection of Lucifer, Satan, and others almost twenty-four hours a day, and ordinary people simply had no chance to get close to her.
The only chance she had to interact with other nobles in Hell was the occasional Hell festival.
However, she had never liked making friends at such cocktail party-like festivals, because most of the people who approached her came with a purpose.
They longed to use Iphilia's identity to seek benefits for themselves.
Iphilia had always disdained such interactions that were not at all sincere.
“Looks like I misunderstood? I thought Iphilia-chan’s interpersonal relationships in Hell were similar to mine…”
Listening to Aimiya's words, she was probably the type who was ostracized by other angels in Heaven.
Thinking of this, Iphilia felt a little sorry for Aimiya.
However, sympathy was sympathy, Iphilia still had reason to suspect: the reason Aimiya couldn't make friends in Heaven was most likely because she was too scheming.
Other angels were all so pure, how could they possibly get the upper hand against this seemingly innocent but actually scheming Miss Angel?
It was highly probable that Aimiya had tricked people a few times before, and then others became afraid of her and dared not play with her anymore.
“So Aimiya-classmate came to the human world to study because no one in Heaven was willing to play with you?”
“This reason indeed accounts for a few parts… but not all of it. I myself also quite like life in the human world, whether it’s the people of the human world… or the affairs of the human world… I like them all very much.”
The moment she said this, Aimiya unconsciously recalled her “brother” again, and her eyes couldn't help but be slightly covered with a layer of mist.
The person I long for day and night—now, where are you?
“Then how did Aimiya-classmate feel on your first day of school?”
“Hmm… The classmates are very enthusiastic, and Teacher Jiang is also very good to me. I like this kind of environment very much.”
This sentence came from the bottom of her heart.
“Teacher Jiang is indeed very responsible… But I’m also quite puzzled.
Logically speaking, since it’s your first day transferring here, Teacher Jiang probably wouldn’t let you come back at night.
She should have persuaded you to take the opportunity to get along with your classmates more… It’s really strange…”
Iphilia seemed to have thought of something.
She slowly turned over and lay flat in her own “area,” hugging the soft whale doll beside her, and muttered to herself in confusion.
“Ahem… Indeed… it’s like that…”
And Aimiya's reaction seemed a bit strange.
She coughed dryly twice, her tone clearly a little flustered, like a child who had been caught doing something bad.
In fact, that responsible Teacher Jiang indeed hadn't thought of letting her leave at first.
Until Aimiya told that Teacher Jiang a tiny little lie… only then did she, blushing, write Aimiya a leave slip.
As for Aimiya's excuse for asking for leave… she would absolutely never tell Iphilia.
Their atmosphere had just improved a little; she didn't want to be kicked out of bed by an enraged Iphilia.
