A Righteous Demon Girl and the Angel She’ll Never Meet-Chapter 38 : Chapter 38

Chapter 38 : The Night Watch Gentleman Who Tried to Deceive the Pure Little Demon
The Night Watchman’s eyeballs “gululu” rolled twice, as if he had seen some rare treasure, smilingly tossing an olive branch to Iphilia, looking just like a bad uncle trying to deceive a pure little girl.
【Night Watch】, this profession itself could be considered one of the most manpower-demanding professions in the world, after all, among the human race, people with the talent to learn magic were already one in a hundred, and those with magic talent strong enough to self-teach magic without any guidance were truly as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Even with the current global population base of nearly eight billion, according to Iphilia’s estimation, those with this level of talent could probably be counted on ten fingers.
Therefore, whether it was the Night Watch or the Church, upon discovering someone with such talent, they would certainly eagerly extend an olive branch to them.
But well… joining the Night Watch or something, for Iphilia, was of course impossible.
Which demon would join a human magic organization?
“Sorry, Mr. Night Watchman, I’m just an ordinary high school girl, only dabbling in magic out of interest, and I don’t want to get too involved in your affairs.”
Iphilia put on a professional smile, rejecting the Night Watchman’s request with a very tactful tone.
The Night Watchman, upon hearing this, awkwardly opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something more.
No need to think too much, what this guy wanted to say was definitely various preferential conditions or special treatment projects, but to Iphilia, these were all meaningless.
If she really wanted to live a comfortable, god-like life, she only needed to return to Hell, so why would she need to join them?
However, joining the Night Watch did have some benefits for Iphilia, namely that she could use the Night Watch’s system to more conveniently and quickly lock onto the targets she wanted to execute justice upon later.
But if one considered the risks of joining the Night Watch… then this benefit seemed quite insignificant.
Therefore,no matter what preferential conditions or temptations this guy offered, Iphilia’s answer would only be one! That was—Nada.
“Mr. Night Watchman, aren’t you getting a bit off-topic? Since you already know my Fufu’s identity, then I presume we can start now, right?”
Somewhat unexpectedly, just as the Night Watchman was about to say something more to tempt Iphilia to join, Aimiya, who was nearby, couldn’t sit still anymore.
She smiled and tapped the table, her sharp gaze as if warning the Night Watchman to stop, not to poach in her presence.
“Cough cough, yes, I did get a bit distracted… I apologize for my impulsive behavior to the two esteemed ladies.”
The Night Watchman coughed awkwardly twice, perhaps due to Aimiya’s slightly “kind” gaze, his demeanor seemed somewhat uneasy, looking very restrained, even specifically apologizing to Aimiya and Iphilia.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
After all, the Night Watch only knew that Aimiya was a pure angel, and angels were impossible to age-judge by appearance, so even they couldn’t tell whether Aimiya was a young juvenile angel or an old hag who had lived for who-knows-how-many years.
Being very restrained or respectful was quite normal.
And with that, the little farce before the conversation came to an end, and what followed was the adults’ business.
“Miss Aimiya, last night, our patrolling colleagues discovered a… no, it should be said, a giant monster’s remains made from multiple corpses in an old alleyway less than twenty kilometers from the residential area we’re currently in.
We found some bloodstains and traces of a fight nearby.
Based on the residual traces at the scene, we found that the one who thoroughly defeated that corpse monster was an extremely powerful holy attribute magic and after contacting the Holy Church, we learned that it wasn’t the work of their church priests, so I’d like to ask you: was that magic related to you?”
The Night Watchman shed his earlier playful attitude, replaced by the seriousness and earnestness of official work.
His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Aimiya, yet there was no hint of scrutiny or interrogation.
Clearly, he wasn’t questioning Aimiya; he just wanted an answer.
“It was me.”
Aimiya admitted very straightforwardly, while Iphilia, in an extremely languid posture, lay sideways on the sofa, watching her and the Night Watchman with great interest, her little feet, wrapped in white lace stockings, swaying back and forth idly, looking very cute and alluring.
“It’s like this: after we disassembled and dissected that giant corpse monster, we were surprised to find that all the incomplete corpses composing the monster came from the victims of the recent serial murder case or those who went missing in connection with the case.
Therefore, we have reason to suspect that the person who created that corpse monster is the true culprit behind this case.
Miss Aimiya, yesterday you informed us about the victim and the location of the fifth case, so you must be quite concerned about this matter.
To find the culprit as soon as possible, we hope you can tell us what exactly you encountered last night, is that okay?”
The Night Watchman’s wording was extremely sincere and quite earnest, probably because he had studied the proud nature of angels in advance, so he kept his posture as low as possible when speaking and making requests, so as not to sound too aggressive.
This was quite commendable, showing he had done his homework.
But Aimiya wasn’t that kind of arrogant angel, and even if the Night Watch hadn’t come to her, she would have gone to the Night Watch headquarters in Wangyou City by tomorrow at the latest.
Therefore, Aimiya told the Night Watchman everything she saw and heard last night, though, of course, she hid information related to Iphilia.
The relationship between demons and humans was extremely poor, and she certainly wouldn’t casually betray such a cute little roommate (hug pillow).
“So that’s how it is… Thank you for your information, Miss Aimiya, you are the kindest and most approachable angel I’ve ever met! In the future, if you have any needs, feel free to ask our Night Watch, and as long as it’s something we can possibly do, we will definitely do our utmost to help! I’ll take my leave for now, but if you have any needs, you can call my number anytime.”
The Night Watchman stood up, solemnly thanking Aimiya.
The information about the blood beads and the black-robed man that Aimiya told him was very important, and he needed to back to the branch immediately, so after giving Aimiya his contact information, he hurriedly prepared to leave.
“Oh, by the way, we also unexpectedly obtained a piece of information that you might be interested in, Miss Aimiya.”
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned back again.
“What is it?”
Aimiya asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Something related to… the demon hiding in our city.”
