Chapter 40 :Then they were this!
“Hmm, good, thanks Uncle Lucifer, that’s it, bye-bye”
After finishing the call for help to my uncle, I, Iphilia, finally let out a sigh of relief.
Lucifer had promised me that he would take care of this issue by tonight at the latest, which basically meant it was 100% in the bag, right?
After all, this time Uncle Lucifer was preparing to personally make a trip to the human world.
This was probably the first time the fallen angel had re-entered the fray since the decisive battle between Hell and Heaven, wasn’t it?
Let alone the Night Watch branch in Wangyou City, even the headquarters of the human Night Watch—Lucifer could come and go as freely as if it were his own home!
Uh, that didn’t sound quite right.
Uncle Lucifer’s old home was probably Heaven…
“What? Still fretting over the blood issue?”
Aimiya pushed open the door to my bedroom with a cheeky grin and walked in.
The moment I saw her gloating expression, I felt a twinge of irritation.
“This is my room! Go back to your own room!”
“But this is my house too”
“I’m a tenant! Go play in your own room!”
“Eh? But my room isn’t tidied up yet!”
Aimiya put on a pitiful act, but I, who had just suffered a silent defeat at her hands last night, wasn’t falling for it anymore.
I snapped at her irritably, “If it’s not tidied, then go tidy it!”
“Oh, come on, I’m a bit tired today.Just let me crash in Iphilia-chan’s room for a bit”
With that, Aimiya didn’t care whether I agreed or not and flung herself onto my bed, giggling as she burrowed into my blankets.
“Jerk…”
I knew there was no way I’d get this shameless angel Aimiya out of my room today.
Fuming, I buried my head under the blanket, wrapping myself up completely into a loli roll, determined not to give Aimiya any chance to touch me.
“Your sulky look is so cute too”
Aimiya gazed at the loli roll curled up beside her with a smile, and for some reason, the more she looked, the cuter she found me.
She couldn’t resist wanting to tease me a bit.
“Huhu~ Iphilia-chan, you’re not still worrying about the blood thing, are you? How about this? Be my toy for two days… pfft, I mean, my pet for two days…
cough cough
, I mean, be my little maid for two days, and I’ll help you figure out a way to sneak into the Night Watch and destroy that stuff. Sounds good?”
“Heh!”
Faced with Aimiya’s proposal, which she didn’t even bother to disguise, I let out a scornful sneer.
With Lucifer already promising to handle it, did I really need to risk getting pounced on by begging Aimiya?
Also, could a certain perverted angel please at least try to hide her intentions next time? She was making me kinda scared.
Right now, I genuinely felt that it didn’t matter if the blood ended up in the hands of the Night Watch or the Holy Church, because Aimiya was way scarier than either of them.
Scared.
“No need for dear Miss Angel to trouble herself with my affairs. I’ve already found someone to help.”
“Who? Your family?”
“Yeah, my uncle.”
This was the first time Aimiya heard me mention my family, and it instantly sparked her curiosity to learn more about me.
“Since it’s your uncle, he’s probably a demon too, right? What’s his name? Is he powerful?”
“Uh, his name is…”
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly.
The name Lucifer was so renowned—once a great archangel on par with Heaven’s current second-in-command, Lady Seraph Gabriel.
Even now, fallen to Hell, his strength hadn’t diminished one bit, perhaps even surpassing his former glory!
Aimiya was an angel, after all.
Saying “Lucifer” in front of her would be like doxxing myself.
Besides, the fact that Satan had a daughter was only known to Hell’s lords.
Even if I told Aimiya my identity, she probably wouldn’t believe me.
“Hm? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. But I’m not telling you who my uncle is. All you need to know is that he’s very powerful!”
“Very powerful? But the Night Watch branch in Wangyou City has strong defenses too. Aren’t you afraid he’ll get caught sneaking in?”
Get caught?
I poked my little head out from the blanket roll, looking at Aimiya with slight confusion.
Blink blink.
Aimiya blinked back.
“If they could actually catch my uncle, then they’re
this
.”
With that, I stretched out a soft little hand from the blankets and gave a thumbs-up.
“But you can’t be too sure, right? Human magical technology is pretty advanced these days. If he gets caught, aren’t you afraid he’ll be in danger?”
In… in danger?
I froze for a moment at Aimiya’s words, then gave another thumbs-up.
“Not to brag, but if they actually catch my uncle and he doesn’t just leave, then they’re even more
this
!”
No kidding, that’s the fallen angel Lucifer! The infamous Lucifer! The head of Hell’s seven demon kings, the embodiment of the sin of pride, Lucifer! The real deal, second only to Satan himself! Danger? If this guy decided to fight, he could probably flatten both the Night Watch and the Holy Church single-handedly!
When I called to complain earlier, I even specifically reminded my uncle to keep a low profile, avoid harming innocents, destroy the blood sample, and leave.
I was still worried the Night Watch might get obliterated by Lucifer, and here Aimiya was, worrying about
Lucifer
?
Fine, my bad. If I told Aimiya my uncle was Lucifer, she’d probably turn around and start worrying about the Night Watch instead.
Though she’d more likely gloat about it.
…
Meanwhile, the fallen angel symbolizing pride stood before the gates of Hell.
After receiving his niece’s request, he had immediately informed Satan and repeatedly assured him that he would handle the matter cleanly.
It took quite some effort to calm Satan down, who, upon hearing the news, was so worked up he nearly rushed to the human world to burn the Night Watch to ashes with a single breath.
“Sigh… Typhon, really, how old is she? Can’t she be a bit more composed…”
Thinking back to the scene where he desperately held Satan back, Lucifer couldn’t help but feel a wave of exhaustion. This Hell would fall apart without him!
“In the end, I had to bring up Mikaili to calm him down…”
It seemed only big sister’s name carried that kind of weight.
Lucifer had only hinted that if Satan recklessly appeared in the human world, it might draw Mikaili’s attention.
That alone made a certain someone freeze in panic, cough awkwardly twice, and obediently return to her throne.
The speed of that mood swing made Lucifer wonder if Satan had secretly studied face-changing techniques.
After all, his face changes didn’t cost any beans…
