A Righteous Demon Girl and the Angel She’ll Never Meet-Chapter 35 : Chapter 35

Chapter 35 : "Ai——mi——ya——"
The entire morning passed relatively calmly for Iphilia, though one thing puzzled her: Aimiya, for some reason, seemed constantly distracted, her eyes frequently darting toward the window, giving Iphilia the impression that she was acting guilty, like a thief.
However, when Iphilia asked her what was wrong, Aimiya refused to say anything, coming up with all sorts of excuses to dodge the question, leaving Iphilia utterly baffled.
Well, if she didn’t want to talk, so be it.
It had nothing to do with Iphilia anyway.
It wasn’t like Aimiya could have been the one spreading that rumor from this morning, right?
Ha, impossible. Angels always cared about their reputation.
How could Aimiya be bored enough to fabricate such an outrageous rumor?
Besides, she had spent practically the entire day with Iphilia yesterday—when would she have had the time to spread such a vile rumor?
And so, with this thought in mind, Iphilia peacefully passed the entire morning.
Until—
“Wumu? Teacher Jiang, what did you need me for?”
Our Miss Demon was called to the office by her homeroom teacher after the last class of the morning.
Looking at Miss Jiang Mengyun, who wore a strange expression and hesitated as if unsure how to begin, Iphilia tilted her head in confusion.
“Uh, ahem, it’s not really a big deal, just… Iphilia, although I, as your teacher, don’t have the authority to meddle in your personal life, I’d still like to offer you two pieces of advice, if I may…”
Personal life?
Jiang, what are you talking about?
After hearing Jiang Mengyun’s words, the confusion on Iphilia’s face grew even more pronounced.
“Wu… Did I do something wrong?”
“Ahem… It’s not that, I just want to gently remind you, Iphilia, that you and Aimiya are both still young, with long futures ahead of you! Things in China aren’t like abroad—you should prioritize your studies! Doing
that sort of thing
needs moderation. Overdoing it will not only affect your focus in class but also your mental and physical health…”
『???』
Hold on, sister.
What are you talking about?
Iphilia didn’t understand, but she was utterly shocked.
What did she mean by
that sort of thing
needing moderation? What even was
that sort of thing
!?
As expected, our dear Teacher Jiang Mengyun was still too young and had overestimated Miss Demon’s innocence in such matters.
Despite Jiang’s hints, which were practically explicit, Iphilia only nodded stiffly, her pale purple eyes filled with ignorance and purity.
“And also, although there’s no explicit rule in our country against girls dating each other, most of the older generation still hold rather stubborn… bah, conservative views! So, Iphilia, you need to think carefully and consider your choices regarding matters of the heart…”
『???』
To be fair, her homeroom teacher had finally said something Iphilia could understand, and for that, Iphilia was glad. But… Jiang, could you please take a moment to think about what you’re saying!?
Matters of the heart? Girls dating each other? What was all this about!?
Although Iphilia, who had once been a boy, considered herself likely to be a bit bent in terms of orientation, how had things escalated so quickly in Jiang’s mind? Did even Jiang believe that Iphilia and Aimiya, that scheming angel, were dating!?
“Teacher Jiang! Please listen to me! It’s really not what you think. Aimiya and I are completely innocent…”
Iphilia was anxious, desperate to explain.
But clearly, some things couldn’t be cleared up with just words…
“I’m not criticizing you, Iphilia. I understand how girls your age, in the bloom of youth, yearn for love. So there’s no need to deny it so urgently. I get it. Denying it blindly will only make it harder for you to face yourself, and that won’t do you any good in the long run…”
Clearly, our dear Teacher Jiang Mengyun had already firmly decided in her heart that Iphilia and Aimiya were a couple.
Realizing this, Iphilia immediately deflated.
But what she couldn’t understand was why the usually reasonable Teacher Jiang would believe such baseless gossip. Neither she nor Aimiya had ever admitted to anything…
Wait, something’s off?
Recalling Aimiya’s blatantly guilty demeanor that morning, Iphilia’s face darkened in an instant.
Everything had a cause. If she wasn’t mistaken, Aimiya—that wretched angel—was likely the true culprit behind this rumor.
Verifying this suspicion would be simple. She just needed to…
“Teacher Jiang, can you tell me who told you about this?”
Iphilia looked up at Jiang Mengyun pitifully.
“Wu? It was Aimiya. Last night, when she asked for leave, she said she had something urgent. When I pressed her about what it was, she told me about her relationship with you…”
Jiang Mengyun’s cheeks flushed slightly.
Thinking back to the gesture Aimiya had made to her last night, she couldn’t help but sigh: abroad was just too open.
“Relationship? What relationship?”
“She said… she had plans with you that night to do
that sort of thing
…”
As she spoke, Miss Jiang Mengyun even replicated the gesture Aimiya had shown her the previous night for Iphilia.
Iphilia: …
“Mm, alright, I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Jiang. I’ll be careful…”
Now that the mastermind had been confirmed, Iphilia saw no point in wasting more time.
Since explaining was futile, she might as well dismiss Teacher Jiang quickly and go “thank” a certain utterly deplorable angel.
“Oh, alright then, Iphilia, you can go.”
“Okay~ Goodbye, Teacher!”
Iphilia forced a smile as she left the teacher’s office.
The moment she closed the door, an immensely powerful and ferocious surge of demonic energy erupted from her body.
“Ai——mi——ya——”
Iphilia gritted her teeth, wishing she could storm back to the classroom, hang Aimiya up, and give her a good spanking.
Don’t think that just because Iphilia had a gentler personality, she was some weakling who could be toyed with.
Even a rabbit bites when cornered! If Iphilia was truly provoked, she… she… she would bite too!!!
Rawr~ (Super fierce)
However, when Iphilia stormed back to the classroom, our dear Miss Angel had long since vanished.
Clearly, the moment Iphilia was called away by Jiang Mengyun, Aimiya knew her scheme was about to be exposed and had prepared her escape in advance.
Of course, this posed no challenge to our brilliant and formidable Miss Demon.
After all…
She might escape today, but could she escape forever?
