Seven Sins System Chapter 191. Clueless Goddess
I hastily grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head, tucking it into my pants. I fumbled with my pants for a moment, trying to fasten them properly, before finally managing to zip them up. Once I was fully dressed, I turned to her with a raised brow, and asked inquisitively, "Mind telling me what happened?" Rather than a question, it sounded like a demand.
She didn't immediately answer me. Her cheeks turned a brilliant shade of crimson, and she shifted uncomfortably from side to side. Her embarrassment was palpable, radiating from her in waves.
"After all you did, I at least need an explanation," I implored. My tone was firm, but not unkind. Despite what she did, I still needed to put my position as a mortal and a mortal surely wouldn't yell at a goddess.
"Except if that indeed is sexual harassment," I added, my voice dropping to a lower tone, adding a hint of embarrassment to my tone.
Quickly, she shook her head vehemently. "Of course not," she retorted, her voice barely above a whisper. "There's no way I will do that to you…" she said in a much softer tone.
Her embarrassment intensified, and I watched as her features twisted in discomfort once again.
"So?" I asked quietly, demanding her explanation once again.
She took a deep breath and spoke hesitantly, her words coming out in a rush. "I just felt a faint demonic flow from the academy but I don't know where it came from," she explained. "So I just want to make sure that no little demon clings to you. Some parasitic demons are very dangerous," she continued. "They can change a mortal's attitude gradually, and they usually consume negative thoughts."
I nodded repeatedly, pretending to understand her explanation. "I see," I said.Aria's face was etched with remorse as she sat across from me, her eyes downcast. Her earlier embarrassment had been replaced with a sense of profound regret. I could sense her turmoil.
"I'm so sorry," she began, her voice trembling. "I never meant to pull you into this mess. You shouldn't know about my problem."
Her words were tinged with regret, and I could tell that she was genuine in her apology. I couldn't help but feel a weird sense toward her, despite the strange circumstances that had brought us together.
"It's alright," I reassured her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I know you were just trying to help." A soft smile on my lips made me look more like an angel than a devil.
She looked up at me, her eyes brimming with gratitude. "Thank you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't want to put you in danger."
"It's okay," I said, trying to reassure her. "I'm here for you. Whatever happens, we'll face it together," I reassured her. I still played the good guy, in the hope, she would share all the information with me. I just needed to act like her wingman and keep an eye on her.
Besides, if the war really happened, I could kidnap her and make her my realm's hostage. But the important thing was, I had to get my power back quickly. If she found out my identity before I had enough power to fight her, it was I who would be her hostage.
Her eyes met mine, and I could see the relief in her features. "Thank you," she said, her voice shaking with emotion. Her gentle smile bloomed on her face.
She gazed at me for a moment with a gentle look. A look that she never showed me when I was a devil.
'C'mon cut it out. You disgust me,' I complained internally as I desperately fought my cringe and kept the smile on my face.
Then she cleared her throat and tried to regain her composure. "I need to go now. I have to search for the source of the demonic flow," she said quickly.
"Okay. Good luck, Miss Angel," I said with a warm smile.
"Just be careful, okay?" she had warned me before she used her Teleportation skill and disappeared, her voice ringing in my ears long after she was gone.
I nodded in response, but the smile on my face disappeared along with her. Then a long tired exhale followed.
Glancing around my room, I tried to distract myself by tidying up. "I should also check her room later," I muttered to myself, making a mental note to investigate her new living space. She had only just moved in and spent a lot of time with me, sorting out her stuff and getting settled. I couldn't do that earlier, but now I felt a need to explore.
But for now, I had to wait. I couldn't leave my room too soon, lest she returned and caught me in the act. So instead, I turned my attention to my other phone, hoping to find some distraction in the messages waiting for me.
As I unlocked the device, I could see three messages on the screen.
The first message was from Claire, reminding me of my promise to accompany her to buy a birthday present for her friend. The second was from Fiona, asking when I could train her again. And the third was from Evie, asking if I could meet her later.
My fingers flew across the screen. I quickly typed responses to all three, making sure to prioritize Claire and Evie. As for Fiona, I promised to find another time for her training, citing Aria as my excuse.
After I put the phone down on the table, my eyes drifted out the window and toward the figure standing on the roof of the opposite building. Aria was searching the academy for signs of demonic energy. Her eyes darted back and forth restlessly.
Seeing her confusion, a sly smirk grew on my lips. "You are surely clueless, don't you?" I muttered.
