A Righteous Demon Girl and the Angel She’ll Never Meet-Chapter 9 : Chapter 9

Chapter 9 : The Story Named Aimiya
These two days were definitely the unluckiest two days since Aimiya became an angel.
She was sure of it, and there was absolutely no other contender!
And the source of all this, had to be traced back to a rainy night about two years ago.
That day was the darkest day in Aimiya's life.
That day, her “brother”died.
His body was discovered at dusk by a couple taking a walk up the mountain.
According to what the couple later recalled when giving their statements at the police station, when they found the youth, there wasn't a single intact spot on his entire body; it was covered in various scratches and bruises.
At the same time, due to comminuted fractures throughout his body, his torso was twisted at an extremely horrifying angle, which gave the couple a huge fright at the time.
The wife even fell down on the spot from shock.
And later, based on the police investigation and the forensic medical examination, the cause of the youth's death was determined—suicide.
Aimiya could not accept this result.
But the facts were laid out before her in black and white, she had no choice but to accept.
The moment she saw the youth's body at the funeral home, she almost completely broke down.
She cried and shouted the youth's name, cursing him as a liar—just this morning, when the youth left home, he had specifically smiled and told her that he was just going out to handle some matters and would be back soon, not to worry.
But when she saw the youth again, they were already separated by life and death.
Speaking of which, the youth was actually not Aimiya's biological brother.
His parents were once Aimiya's parents' closest friends, Aimiya's godfather and godmother, but unfortunately, fate was unkind.
The youth's parents both died in an accident, leaving only the youth to live with Aimiya's family.
And the youth and Aimiya grew up together, their relationship as close as siblings, considered childhood sweethearts.
Therefore, the youth's death was an incredibly huge blow to Aimiya, not to mention, Aimiya was also very clear about the reason for the youth's death, which was also the matter he said he was going out to handle that morning.
Everything the youth did was for Aimiya.
But the saddest thing was, even if Aimiya knew the cause of the youth's death, she could do nothing—because the youth committed suicide.
Although this indeed put an end to “that matter,” it also left a huge shadow in Aimiya's heart.
Driven by the grief in her heart, Aimiya, standing before the youth's tombstone, was unwilling to choose to live alone.
She slowly squatted down, looked at the photo in front of the youth's monument one last time, and then, with the small knife she had long hidden in her sleeve, unhesitatingly slit her own throat.
In an instant, scalding blood spurted out, and splendid blood flowers bloomed in the air, blurring Aimiya's eyes.
As her consciousness faded, she could still hear her parents' panicked shouts, but at this moment, she could no longer say anything, only silently apologizing to her parents in her heart.
『I'm sorry, Dad, Mom…』
『Brother is most afraid of loneliness, I'm going to accompany him.』
However, just as Aimiya's consciousness was about to completely sink into darkness, an unexpected brilliance illuminated Aimiya's soul.
She opened her eyes in confusion, only to be surprised to find herself already in a bright white sanctuary, and her originally ink-black long hair had, for some unknown reason, turned into a pure, white-gold color.
Most importantly, on either side of her waist, a white wing had actually sprouted!
“Are you awake? Cute child?”
An ethereal and melodious female voice suddenly sounded.
Aimiya had not yet recovered from her surprise when her entire worldview was once again fiercely struck.
Before her stood an angel dressed in a white gown.
Her expression was gentle, her beautiful light purple long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and the twelve pure white wings behind her quietly spread open, appearing sacred and pure.
“I am Archangel Mikaili. Child who has strayed into the human world, welcome back to Heaven”
The angel named Mikaili smiled and extended her hand to Aimiya.
Her smile was so gentle, pure, and healing that, for a moment, Aimiya even felt that much of the sadness in her heart had been washed away.
From Mikaili's mouth, Aimiya learned that she was a Reincarnation of an angel who had fallen from Heaven to the human world and now that her human self had died, her soul had naturally returned to Heaven, once again regaining her former angelic body.
Moreover, she also learned another thing from Mikaili: the souls of suicides do not ascend to Heaven after death; their souls will fall into Hell, a place diametrically opposed to Heaven, the territory of Satan, the Lord of Hell.
Of course, the souls of suicides would not suffer torment from demons in Hell like the souls of most evil people; they would be directly reincarnated from Hell back into the human world.
And the reason Aimiya was able to ascend to Heaven was naturally because she herself was a member of the Angels.
But in this way, Aimiya's “brother,” had a high probability of having already fallen into Hell, about to embark on the path of reincarnation.
Although it was very regrettable, Aimiya knew that she would most likely never see him again.
Even if she could find his reincarnated self through angelic means, by then, would he still be the same person he once was?
Aimiya didn't know.
After receiving Mikaili's affirmation, she returned to the human world somewhat disheartened, back to her human home… and then, she saw her mother, who had cried herself into a tearful mess because of her suicide, and her father, who could only escape his grief through binge drinking.
In fact, the youth's death was not only an extremely huge blow to Aimiya, but also to Aimiya's parents.
And Aimiya's suicide dealt another fatal blow to her parents' already riddled hearts.
It was only at this time that Aimiya realized how impulsive her previous actions had been.
She mustered her courage, pushed open the door, and smiled faintly amidst her parents' surprised gazes.
“I'm back.”
She told her parents about her ascension to Heaven after death and some of the secrets about the world behind the scenes that she had learned from Mikaili.
Although her parents couldn't quite believe it at first, they were still overjoyed at their daughter's return.
Aimiya's old dad even scolded Aimiya harshly for it.
His raised hand wanted to fall several times, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
This was the story before Aimiya became an angel.
And after that, was the brand new story of Aimiya, who, like Iphilia, obtained a new angelic name after being reborn as an angel—that is, Angel『Aimiya』.
Aimiya, having become an angel, had always had smooth sailing. Except for the fact that she retained some human habits, which caused quite a few angels to look at her unfavorably, Aimiya had hardly encountered any more setbacks.
Until—last night arrived.
At the hands of that unknown purple-haired demon, Aimiya suffered what could be called the most humiliating defeat in both her life and her angelic career.
