A Righteous Demon Girl and the Angel She’ll Never Meet-Chapter 30 : Chapter 30

Chapter 30 : Just… just doing…
Let's rewind time a bit.
After Iphilia left the school, Aimiya, all alone, listlessly finished the first period of evening self-study.
『Sure enough, this evening self-study thing is my natural enemy! It's so boring, it almost made me fall asleep!』
As soon as the class ended, Aimiya flopped onto the desk with a "patta" sound, as if she had lost her soul.
If she could, she really wanted to drag out the bastard who invented this damn evening self-study thing, tie him to a cross, and stab him with a knife for two and a half years! It was imperative to let him know why flowers were so red!
But complaining was just complaining in the end.
The rules were as such, and the students could only continue with this damn evening self-study with hearts full of grief.
Aimiya, as one of them, was naturally no exception.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the empty seat next to her, and secretly cursed the demon who had slipped away ahead of time.
『Cunning demon! To actually run away in advance! A fellow who doesn't even dare to share hardships, what kind of righteous partner are you!?』
『But since she, a demon, can ask for leave, then I, a dignified angel, with a background similar to hers, should also be able to get leave, right?』
The late-realizing Miss Angel only just remembered that she could use her natural advantage as a returning student to ask the class teacher for leave.
As for studying and new lessons, hilarious, let's not even mention that as an angel, her learning ability far surpassed that of ordinary humans.
Just the fact that she didn't have to take the college entrance exam already put her way ahead of this bunch of resentful souls in the classroom!
And if in the future she really wanted to experience university life again, she only needed to say a word to the Night Watch or the Church, and the universities she could choose from would not just be those within China's borders, but all the renowned institutions of higher learning in the world!
This was certainly not Aimiya boasting.
Angels and humans had been on good terms for generations, and their relationship was already good.
In addition, the two not only shared the same faith but also had a common enemy in demons.
The relationship between them, even if not as good as that between elves and fairies, was not far off.
Thus, Aimiya put her thoughts into action, leaped up from her seat with a carp-like jump, and went non-stop to the teacher's office to find our dear Miss Jiang Mengyun.
Also unsurprisingly, just as Iphilia thought, she suffered a major setback at Miss Jiang Mengyun's without any accident.
“Eh——Why, Teacher Jiang!? Clearly, Iphilia-classmate can go home to rest at night, why do I have to stay here for evening self-study!?”
In the office, Aimiya questioned Jiang Mengyun with a look of incomprehension and our Miss Jiang was also a little helpless about this.
Although she could understand the feelings of “returning students” like Iphilia and Aimiya not being used to the outrageous domestic schedule for a while, her principle was to help them overcome it as much as possible rather than indulging them blindly, because this was neither conducive to them getting used to the domestic system and regulations, nor to their future growth.
And Iphilia-classmate's situation was entirely because that principal fellow's eyes were blinded by the two new buildings plus a library, and it took an enormous effort to barely persuade Jiang Mengyun.
Although there is a common saying that if there is a first, there will be a second, Jiang Mengyun had never listened to these common sayings.
Therefore, when Aimiya came to her hoping to ask for leave from evening self-study to go home, she chose to earnestly dissuade her.
No matter what reasons Aimiya brought up, she remained as unmoved as a mountain.
“But… but I really have something very important to do…”
Seeing that her serious debate (random nonsense) was completely ineffective, Aimiya unhesitatingly used tactic number two—using the charm bonus that came with being an angel and her own cute appearance to try to persuade Jiang Mengyun.
To put it in simpler terms… It was acting cute.
There was no helping it; she hadn't learned too much non-combat magic, so in this situation, she could only act cute with all her might.
“Uh… sigh, Aimiya-classmate, you still need to try to get along with your classmates more… The teacher knows you knew Iphilia-classmate before, but Iphilia-classmate's situation is truly special. If possible, the teacher also hopes she can interact more with the classmates.”
Obviously, Miss Jiang Mengyun didn't fall for that at all.
Her attitude was firm, convinced that Aimiya was just used to finishing school early and being free abroad, and was not used to the schedule here after returning to the country for a while.
It would be fine after letting her suffer a bit and follow along for two days.
“But… but…”
Aimiya pretended to be about to cry.
Her appearance was already very lovable, and now this coy look with a hint of grievance was even more heart-stirring.
Finally, under our Miss Angel's persistent (pestering) offense, Miss Jiang Mengyun couldn't bear it for a moment and relented.
“Then can you tell the teacher what you are going back so early to do? The teacher has heard that you are renting a house to live here. You just returned to the country and are in an unfamiliar place. It would be bad if you encounter any bad people! And as your teacher, I naturally need to fulfill my duty to protect your personal safety!”
“Uh… that…”
Actually, Aimiya hadn't thought of what excuse to use to fool Jiang Mengyun and just as her brain was running wildly thinking of an excuse, Iphilia's image subconsciously popped into her mind, and a bold and extremely scheming idea gradually formed in her mind.
Isn't that demon “special”? Then I'll also “slightly” use her as a shield!
“To be honest, teacher… I made an appointment with Iphilia-classmate in advance, we're going home together at night to do something…”
“Iphilia-classmate? Is it convenient to tell the teacher what it is?”
“Just… just doing…”
Aimiya's little face turned slightly red, looking exactly like a shy little girl.
She pretended to glance around, and after confirming that only Jiang Mengyun and her were in the entire office, she slowly raised her left hand, made a gesture like “OK,” and with her other hand, she raised her index finger and repeatedly** in the circle formed by the index finger and thumb of the “OK” gesture.
“…Just, something like this…”
? Are foreign children all this open?
Although Miss Jiang Mengyun was pure, she was still an adult after all.
She understood Aimiya's meaning in a second.
Her cheeks instantly turned bright red, and even her speech became somewhat incoherent.
“O… okay, teacher… teacher understands. I'll write you a leave slip now…”
Jiang Mengyun hurriedly pulled out a leave slip from her desk, and after hastily writing her name on it, she quickly handed it to Aimiya, as if afraid of delaying her precious time.
“Here, this is the leave slip. Although the teacher knows that the teacher has no right to say such things… but the teacher still wants to remind you a little: both you and Iphilia are still young, you have a lot of days ahead of you, please pay attention to moderation!!!”
