prelude

In my heart, I hope so. If it is as the prophecy says: all is destroyed…

I hoped so.

Yet today, we still welcome a new year.

Prophets are nothing more than frauds, and it’s a fool’s errand to even give the slightest credence to their words.

I can only, in the future, live a dull life every day…

In that case, it’s okay if you end it yourself, right?

Huh…?

Chapter One: Two International Students

The classroom in the morning was extremely quiet as usual. Probably because they had too much fun last night? Most of the people in the classroom were rubbing their eyes and fighting the sandman.

He was sitting next to the window, having given up the struggle and gone into a dream state.

Finally, a female teacher came into the classroom, but he was still intoxicated.

“Good morning everyone! We had a good time last night, didn’t we? But some of you seemed to have a little too much fun, huh? …Hinokabe!”

“Uh…”

“It’s not ‘uh-huh’ is it? Get your head up!”

As he rubbed his eyes, he replied, “…Huh? It’s Luita-sensei? What’s wrong? I remember today is German class!”

She’s the German teacher, German. Also the assistant instructor of this class.

“Your tutor is on leave today.”

“Oh, so today is going to be…”

“Be polite in your tone! I have something for you to do later, you’re a class officer, right?”

Today is November 1, 1999, the day after Halloween. He, Makoto Hinokabe, goes to a school in Kyoto. It’s a Christian school, isn’t it? The school held a big Halloween dance every year. Shin Hinokabe wasn’t a Christian, and didn’t really like going to the dance, but…

“Hey, Shin, how does it feel to be called up by the most popular female teacher? It’s enviable!”

“Shut up, Shinichi! That kind of talk is so rude to a teacher.”

The one who was joking around was Shin’s best friend and evil friend─Shinichi Mikami, and after being led around by him all night, Shin was already physically exhausted, so he just replied lazily.

“Never mind, thanks for the compliment, Mikami. Teacher is very happy ooh! But I’d be even happier if you’d be quieter!”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

Louita-sensei admonished him slightly though. However, Shinichi didn’t look the least bit reflective.

She cleared her throat, looked at the students and said, “Today is going to be a surprise. . come on in!”

Luita opened the door to the classroom and a young girl walked in.

“My name is Sophia B. Harlander, please be my guest.”

She bowed slightly, her brown hair neatly tied back and hanging softly behind her. Giving the impression of a well-bred girl.

“I’m from Germany, transferred to this school as an exchange student. It’s going to be half a year here, so I hope to get along with everyone!”

“Sophia is of mixed race and her father is German. She had Japanese lessons at home, so the language won’t be a problem. You guys hit it off as soon as possible!”

The other students─especially the boys─came out in cheers. True was the only one who stared at her with unblinking eyes.

“…”

Like time had stood still, True kept gazing into her eyes. This was a very rare thing for True, who usually didn’t pay attention to others.

“Really…Shin, what’s wrong with you?”

The one who noticed the difference was her childhood friend, Mari Tokiwa, a lively girl with short hair. Because she was more active, no one put them together as a couple.

“…Huh? You, what did you say?”

“You keep staring at people!”

True was probably caught off guard, so he retorted a bit unpleasantly, “Not at all! Besides, it has nothing to do with you, does it?”

“What! Saying such things!”

“Don’t lose your temper!”

“Hmph!”

Shinichi interjected, “You guys make a great couple! Aren’t you embarrassed to be this close?”

“Hey…Mikami, you’re saying that kind of thing again!”

“Shinichi, be quiet!”

“I don’t give a damn about you couples!”

“Who and who…are husband and wife!”

The three of them bickered and couldn’t help but raise their voices. At the sound of her voice, Ms. Luita said, “Don’t talk, you guys, that’s not polite to Sophia, is it?”

“Yes…I’m sorry.”

“Really! …Actually, there’s another foreign student, but she seems to be late. Let’s introduce her when she arrives. Hinokabe!”

“Yes?”

“You’re a class officer, you have to show Sophia around!”

“Huh… it’s better for Changpan to take her, right? I may be a cadre, but it’s better for a girl to take her…”

“I haven’t told you yet. I thought there was another transfer student. Tokiwa will be in charge of taking her.”

“Yeah…got it.”

“Hinokabe, please be kind.” Sophia smiled and bowed.

Seeing this, Asari said somewhat anxiously, ”You shouldn’t expect too much ooh! Sophia. Hinokobe is always dull and is an unreliable guy!”

“Asari, you’re such a nag!”

“Ah, sorry, am I interrupting?”

“No!”

“…Almost there you guys! Do you have to piss me off to be satisfied?”

For the attitude of the two people as if no one else was there, Luita unpleasantly scolded  her. At this moment, the bell for the last class dismissal rang.

“There’s no time for that! I’m counting on you, Hinohashita. Tokiwa, come with me. Need to talk to you about another foreign student.”

After the two left the classroom, Sophia walked up to Really and said, “Hello!”

“…ah, uh, hello!”

Makoto felt a little confused. While he was happy to have the opportunity to be close to Sophia, he was also concerned about Asari’s attitude. He couldn’t help but imagine Asari walking around and getting angry.

“Zhen…this colorful guy, what a nuisance!”

In the hallway, Asari followed Louita, kicking the trash can next to her and muttering curses.

During break time, Sophia was surrounded by other students. She was popular because she was a mixed-race beauty, in addition to being a rare transfer student. In that case, the other foreign student…hadn’t appeared yet by the looks of it.

“Hey, Shin, didn’t I tell you to take care of her?”

True away from the students who were surrounding Sophia, Shinichi then ran over to him.

“No… going to flatter her would bore everyone quickly, wouldn’t it? It seems like I have to go take care of her!”

“Didn’t you see the way those guys were horny? Those guys won’t stop until someone goes after her.”

“…Then someone will take care of her? It’ll be easier for me, too!”

It’s not a lie, really seeing those people around Sophia, there was still interest in her, but now there is a lack of interest.

“Nonsense! You’ve been leering at her all along…but, still, you care about Changpan, right?”

“No, no such thing! Why do you keep trying to bring me and her together? We’re just…”

Despite saying so, it was true that Asari was one of the reasons why Shin felt troubled.

“Why are you shy? You know how she feels, don’t you? What about you?”

“Don’t say another word! She hasn’t confessed to me, and I’m not interested in her.”

True was a bit angry, but Shinichi didn’t pay any attention to him and continued, “Really? Then, I’ll go after Changpan, and you go after that foreign student!”

“It’s none of my business if you like her or hate her, haven’t I told you that many times?”

“Hahaha! The regular plate thing was a joke la…it would be a bit abnormal if I liked her.”

Shinichi often joked about True like that. But, to Shin, he was the most important friend. Shin wasn’t good at socializing with other people, and he didn’t have many friends in the past. The only friend he had was his childhood friend, Mari.

When he first entered this school a year ago, Shinichi sat next to Shin. Shinichi had an active personality, and often took Shin out for a night on the town. Shinichi had just moved to Kyoto from Osaka, and to Shin, who he called “a boring guy,” Shin was an interesting person. Although their personalities are very different, Shin gradually opens up to him and they become close buddies.

“This is it, right?”

Gala! The door suddenly opened and a young girl walked into the classroom. Silver brown hair, red eyes, and a hot body. She wasn’t Japanese, but she was wearing a uniform.

“Where is it? Ah, it’s you, isn’t it?”

The red-eyed young girl looked around the classroom, and as soon as she saw True, she ran up to him and asked, “Hey, what’s your name?”

“Huh? My name is Makoto Hinokabe, and you’re… um!”

While she was asking, she suddenly kissed really lips. The people around her, including Shinichi, were stunned.

True tried to break free, but she held onto True’s body. Her tongue also went into True’s mouth and stirred it, causing both of their saliva to run down their jaws.

At that moment, Asari entered the classroom.

“…!!!” Asari was similarly speechless with surprise.

“Uh, ah ah ah… coo, it’s so hard…”

“Hehehe…sorry. Your name is ‘Zhen’, right? What a great kiss!”

By the time the young girl’s lips left, both of them had spit on their collars. The kiss was probably ten minutes long.

Time seemed to stop spinning…then Asari screamed, “What, what for? In a place like this!!!”

Slap! Asari inserted herself in the middle of Shin and the red-pupil girl and slapped Shin. The maiden took the battered and shaken True in her arms.

“No, it wasn’t me! It’s her…”

“Don’t be sophomoric! You horny bastard!!!”

“You’re mistaken…!”

True tried desperately to defend himself, but Mari wouldn’t listen. He raises his leg and tries to kick Shin again.

“Ah-you’re so rude! I was just saying hello to him. Right? Shin…” the red-pupiled girl said as she hugged Shin, revealing a satisfied expression as she confirmed that his lips were still moistened, and continued, “Shin… that’s great! I’m so happy!”

Although Mari was surprised by the young girl’s words, she then calmly asked, “It’s Lilith-sama, isn’t it? You… and Makoto…?”

“It’s the first time I’ve met Shin and I. But…um─this has nothing to do with you!”

“Nothing to do with me…? What does that mean!?”

“Well-you…he and I only met for the first time today, and it was me who took the initiative to kiss him just now, so that’s a good enough explanation, right? It’s not like I hurt him physically! Hurry up and do something! Class president-san.”

Asari was enraged by her attitude, and Shinichi saw it and stopped her, “Calm down! Tokiwa. You know her name, do you recognize her?”

Asari lowered her fist, but still clenched it, and said, “Listen up, Taika! She’s another foreign exchange student–Lilith Eilidh. Lilith Eilidh. It’s a bit weird, but, let’s get along with her!”

Asari walked out of the classroom after saying that, and soon there was the sound of a trash can being tragically vandalized.

“Shin, is this really the first time you’ve seen this woman?” Shinichi whispered softly into True’s ear.

“Of course! Otherwise I would have told you first, right?”

“This I believe. You should go after Changpan quickly! She won’t be demoralized until you appease her properly!”

“…Why me?”

“Idiot! It’s okay to lie, go make her happy!”

“…I don’t have a reason why I have to go, do I?”

“Nosy! If I tell you to go, you go!”

Shin is pushed by Shinichi and runs out of the classroom to go after Mari. Then the vandalism stops, and it looks like he’s explained himself.

The classroom was in an uproar. However, the protagonist of the conversation──the girl with red pupils──didn’t care and said to Sophia, “That man is nice! It seems like there’s a point to waiting.”

“You…are, you, suspicious…”

“…Say hello! We’re all foreign students, let’s get along, right?”

“Don’t talk to me.”

“Yeah, don’t be a pain in the ass…”

The two spoke in abstractions that were difficult to understand, but, they didn’t seem to be talking at all.

“On the subject of Shin…who the hell are they?”

Chapter 2: Temptation

A reddish haze appeared in the sky and the bell rang for the last class. It was a liberating bell for True, who had spent half the day under the watchful eyes of his classmates.

Asari seemed to accept True’s explanation, but still puckered her face unhappily. Every time Shin looked at Lilith, she was eating and smiling at Shin. Even Sophia looked like she had something she wanted to say to him. The situation made True feel like he was literally sitting on pins and needles. So as soon as the bell rang, he hurriedly prepared to go home.

“Um…Hinokabe.” Sophia called in a small voice.

“What?”

“Will you come to my house later? I have something I want to talk to you about.”

Don’t make a sudden request. True, although she was her ring guide, but, she shouldn’t bring home a man she met for the first time, right?

“Got a message? If it’s about school, say it in class tomorrow!”

“No…anyway, you’re coming ooh!”

“Uh, well…”

Sophia quickly left the classroom after handing the piece of paper with her address to True. Her serious eyes left a deep impression in his mind.

“Really! Promising people easily again.”

It’s always like this. When the other person shows a little bit of assertiveness, there is no way to refuse. It’s the same thing when you’re a classroom leader.

While really looking for Asari, Shinichi came.

“Hey! Popular guy!”

“You… you saw it too?”

“Being the number one pretty boy on campus, I can’t believe he likes LKK’s interests…I hear the girls sighing ooooh!”

“Who are you calling a beautiful man?”

“Of course it’s us!”

It’s true that Shinichi and Shin are both handsome. But, it’s because of their personalities, right? As Shinichi said, the two are not idolized by the girls.

“Shinichi, you’re too confident, aren’t you?”

“What’s wrong with being confident in yourself?”

“It would be said, ‘Proud Osaka man!'”

“Hmph, what the hell!”

“What a way to take you!”

Shinichi, despite his smelly look, was really in a much more cheerful mood because of it.

“…Right! Shin’s really had enough for today, go relieve yourself!”

“Uh, let’s go!” With that, the two walked out of the classroom together.

“Thank you so much, Shinichi.”

“Huh? Why are you thanking me?”

“No, it’s nothing!”

“Those two are good friends! Any idea where they’re going?” Lilith asked as she watched them and grabbed the girl next to her.

“Let’s go to the playground in front of the station? Mikami may look like a delinquent, but he really just loves playing video games. Your favorite Hinohashita is inseparable from him. A beauty like you should be able to choose a man!”

“It’s not like that! Zhen and I, we’re destined to meet!”

“Huh? You’re very popular as it is, but the Hinohashita section already has a standing disk ah!”

“The girl? But she’s just the human girl.”

“…? I’m sorry, you’re so weird, can’t understand what you’re saying. Bye!”

“Hmm. Thanks for telling me anyway!”

Lilith got up from her chair and walked outside the school.

“Keeps saying weird stuff!”

It’s been an hour since we entered the playground. Shinichi was playing the new matchmaking game, but he hadn’t won yet. As the girls said, he just loves to play. Although Shin is watching the game, he doesn’t get bored. Passing the time with Shinichi is just like that.

“Zhen, you come and play!”

“Don’t, I’m going to lose.”

Although Shinichi occasionally does special training for True, True isn’t as addicted as Shinichi, so he’s still no match for him. It’s not just games for Shin, he’s never been enthusiastic about anything.

“I’ll let you!”

“With that said, you and I killed each other as soon as I started playing! I’m not playing today!”

The screen appeared with the text “Challenger appears!” The text “Challenger appears!” appeared, and Shinichi regained his grip on the joystick and started the game, concentrating on the screen.

“I’m going to use the restroom, Shinichi, come on!”

Shinichi didn’t answer. While Shinichi was engrossed in the tussle, True walked towards the restroom.

“How enviable!” True mumbled as he urinated.

“Uh…uh uh, haaaa…!”

“？”

True finished washing his hands and heard a girl’s voice from the back. This is the men’s restroom? He turned around and saw that there was only one restroom with the door closed, so the sound was coming from there, right? In fact, he noticed just now that there was the sound of clanking, clanking metal.

“How faceless…screaming so loud!”

“Ah, haaaaaaahhhh!”

There seemed to be more than one girl in that restroom.

Clank! Another metallic sound rang out as True walked in the direction of that restroom.

“It’s totally different from school, isn’t it? How is it here…”

“This…thing…ahhhh!”

“You like it here, don’t you? Act like you like it a little more!”

“Ah…but, but…”

Slap! The sound of slapping, the sound of metal on metal raised instantly.

“It hurts!”

“Because you’re not being honest! The body is honest, right?”

“Yes, yes…”

True hid in the next room and pricked up his ears to listen. Imagining the lewd scene through the wall. But couldn’t resist the urge to demand visual pleasure. He tried not to make a sound, stepping on the toilet and stretching his neck just enough to see.

(Cheer up a little…see! That, that is!)

The two women in there are both people that True recognizes. One was Lilith, the foreign student, but, most surprisingly, it was the woman who was being toyed with.

It was the German teacher who had scolded him this morning-Louita. Lilith was still wearing her uniform, but Luita was almost naked, her wrists handcuffed. The sound of metal clashing was the sound of handcuffs clashing, wasn’t it?

(I can’t believe it…how could a teacher…?)

It was a shock to see Luita in a completely different posture than at school, but the flirting between those two continued. His interest overrode the shock and suspicion. So he looked at the two again.

Luita sat on the toilet with her legs spread. Lilith, on the other hand, had her arms around her.

“What do you want next?”

“Please, please…”

“Beg me? I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

“Don’t make me anxious…I want more!”

“Say it clearly!”

Louetta ducked her head sheepishly, but, Lilith grabbed her handcuffs and said, “I can’t hear you!”

“…Touch, touch it! There, there!”

“Where? Speak more clearly! Let it all be heard outside!” Lilith grabbed the handcuffs as she pounded on the wall True was leaning against.

“…touch there…please…put your hand in there!”

“Well, I wish I’d said so! Dirty sow, smells a lot like your place, doesn’t it? Like this?”

“Ah…yes…”

Lilith squatted, her fingers touching Luita’s bud, which was warm and fully moist. The sound that Shin initially heard was the sound of reaching orgasm, right?

(Uh…, haaaa, haaaa!)

Literally putting his hand between his own thighs, he gripped his furious doppelganger tightly. He had thought he had been discovered when Luita had hit the wall! But, there was no stopping the movement of his hand now.

“One, two…”

“Ah, ah ah…”

Lilith slowly inserted her fingers into her, and finally, all of them were in.

“Ahh! Deeper…ahhhhh!”

“You pervert! Is that even okay?”

Lilith spread her fingers wide, even her wrist went deeper.

“Ahhhh! Uhh!”

“That’s good. Let the whole school hear it!”

“Uh, ah uh, ah ah ah ah!”

“If you don’t answer, then I’m going to end it oooh!”

Lilith began to move her wrists fiercely, and the handcuffs moved rhythmically.

“Ahhhh! Well, ahhhhhh!!!”

“Ha ha ha. It’s all coming out, and it’s really dirty!”

(Coo!) As Luita becomes incontinent and climaxes, Makoto also reaches his peak.

Shin calmed down a bit and looked at the white goo attached to his hand. Lilith’s words, “It’s dirty!” echoed in his head. Shin rushed out of the restroom and washed his hands.

“It’s been a long time! Are you sick, Zhen?”

“No, no.”

“Why are you panting so hard…is everything okay?”

“I’m fine. I’d like to go home first! Sorry, bye!”

Shinichi showed a skeptical expression. Shin ran out like he was running away, not wanting what he had just done to be discovered.

True ran to the bus stop near the playground and sat down on a bench. He was still breathing very hard, not from running, of course.

“Haaah, haaah, haaah…”

“You look tired!”

“…！！”

The tone was different, but, it was the same voice that he had heard earlier. True lifted his head to see that it was Lilith.

“Do you want a drink?”

Lilith took a can of drink and handed it to True. At this point, the last person True wanted to see was her. She squinted at True and took a seat beside him.

“Please! It’s tiring, isn’t it? Escaping from the restroom and running all the way here.” She said, handing the drink to Shin, the hand that had just been inserted into Luita.

“…You found out?”

True only spoke at this point, and Lilith smiled, “Well, I found out at the beginning oooh! It’s cool, isn’t it? Seeing your teacher get kinky.”

“…”

“I let you see it on purpose!”

“On purpose for me to see?” True asked with a questioning look.

“Nasty, don’t be so mean! I don’t want to be hated by you, but I want to do you a favor.” Lilith said petulantly.

Though True still held questions, he didn’t say them out loud, only showing them on his face.

“You all think there’s something wrong with me, don’t you? But, I’m perfectly normal. The motive of wanting to approach you is also pure…”

“For what?…”

“If you want to know, I’ll tell you. But, not here…by the way, meet me tonight at the Watanuki Bridge in Arashiyama, my house is near there.”

“…I’m not going.”

True murmured, wondering if Lilith had heard him. She stood up, her red pupils gazing at him, then turned away.

“I’ll wait until morning, you must come!” She said and left.

True picked up the can of drink she’d left behind and pressed the spout against his mouth. The handkerchief wrapped around the can had the scent of Lilith. There was also another woman’s scent, perhaps Luita’s…?

True went back to his room and lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Really both my father and mother are archaeologists. They have been overseas, working on investigating relics and organizing data. As a result, True has lived alone since he was a child. He believes he developed an introverted personality as a result.

Before he graduated from junior high school, there had always been a maid at home to take care of him. But, since they changed every six months, True didn’t feel like he was brought up by a maid. Later, Shin quit the maid and lived a truly solitary life. Occasionally, Asahi would take it upon herself to come and tidy up True’s room for him so that it would not be in a mess.

Several fluorescent tubes hang from the white ceiling. There were black insect carcasses in the tubes. True averted his gaze. Lilith’s face floated up to the ceiling, and then the image of her and Luita in passion, the sight of her slipping her hand inside Luita and stirring it zoomed in. True had another sudden flashback to the feeling of Lilith’s tongue in her mouth during the day. True felt his whole body harden, and his right hand went to his lower abdomen.

Beep-beep─! Hearing the sound of the alarm clock, Really’s hand stopped moving.

“Ah, it’s eight o’clock! I can’t go to Sophia’s house.”

True walked out of the room while feeling disgusted with himself. The disgust was the same as the feeling of peeping in the restroom. It also felt like he had once again plastered Luita, and True realized that the intensity of his sexual urges made the mood even worse.

“This is Sophia’s house, right?”

True stood in front of his apartment, checking his watch but turning in the direction of Watanuki Bridge.

“It’s okay if we don’t go to her house today, I’ll see you at school tomorrow!”

True made the rare decision: not to keep his appointment. I don’t know what kind of heart made him fail to keep his promise with Sophia and run to meet Lilith, who should have refused.

“It’s not…it’s in the park, isn’t it?”

Really went to the bridge to look for Lilith, but she was nowhere to be found. Had to walk across the bridge to the island in the river. Although the Watanuki Bridge is small, the scenery is beautiful and it is a well-known tourist spot. The park is the focus of sightseeing in Arashiyama. Filled with sightseers during the day, at night it is a rendezvous spot for couples, and there is no restriction on entry to any of the parks. True traveled between passionate couples in search of Lilith.

“I’m going to be treated like a voyeur, right? Is she… kidding me?” After twenty minutes of wandering in the park, True mumbled and left the area.

“Maybe on the other side of the bridge?”

At that moment, a woman’s cry came from that side of the grass.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Makoto walked towards the direction of the voice and mouthed, “Perhaps, that girl is being raped by a pervert…”

True muttered in order to justify his actions. But, if it was his usual self, he wouldn’t have interfered even if someone was about to be killed in front of his eyes. It was probably because the events of the daytime affected him, or, this extremely bright red moon? At this moment, it was truly impossible to suppress his excitement.

“Uh…no…if someone comes…”

“That’s okay.”

“But… um…”

Two people were hugging each other, looking like couples. One was a young teenage girl, and a blonde youth. Looking at his looks, it would be better to say he looked like a pervert than a gentleman. True held his breath and stopped in his tracks. Thinking to himself, it would be a shame to leave like this.

“Uh…uh…”

“Your body and voice, both are lovely!” The man said as he skillfully caressed the young girl’s body while removing her clothes, which the girl didn’t resist too much. Soon, she was left with only her panties, sitting on the grass.

“Awwww…so shy!”

“Don’t be shy, you have a beautiful body!” The man said as he pulled off her panties.

“Ah…!” Her body shuddered as he caressed her bud.

“Look, already so…”

“Uh…”

“Relax the power ah!”

The young girl obeyed the man’s words and spread her legs. It was clear to see between her thighs, and through the reflection of the moonlight, it was seen to be moistened.

“Come on…”

“Ahh. Uh…uh─!”

“How…”

“Mmm…so, so good…”

The man deftly caressed with his tongue and hands as she became more and more aroused, a blush began to appear on her face and her breathing became rapid.

“Please…I want to…” she said, playing with the man’s parting with her hand, not at all as shy as she had been earlier.

“…Not yet whoo! This isn’t working!”

“No…I want it now…”

She took the man’s part in her mouth and licked the already hard part from the root. The pupils of her eyes were vacant with a lustful look.

“Well…at least let me drink some, please…”

(So, so good… this girl…) Really sight was completely captivated.

“Want to see more? Shin, that’s so horny!” Suddenly, someone voiced out and called out to him.

“Lilith? No, no! I…didn’t you tell me to wait here? Where are you hiding? I’ve been looking for ages!”

“Ah, how delightful! But, what does ‘not’ mean? Does it mean this?” Lilith said, hugging him from behind, her hand simultaneously reaching between his femurs, revealing the puffed up parting.

“This, this…!!!”

“It’s too loud, isn’t it? They’ll find out!”

Lilith gently took hold of his parting and began to move up and down.

“Stop, stop…uh, ah!”

“I’ll serve you!”

The hand was gentle and the power control was fantastic. Perhaps it had been so arousing that he couldn’t push her hand away.

“It’s so big…it’s awesome!” Lilith whispered in Really’s ear as she pressed her breasts against his back. The young girl in front of him continued to blow her horn.

“Mmm…” really close to the top.

“Ah…sorry, did you get your pants dirty?” Lilith said, walking up to True, her mouth against the still rhythmic part. Shin couldn’t help but pull out, and at the same time she ended her movements.

“It’s nice to do it with your mouth…! That girl is like that too.” At a glance, the young girl was still blowing her horn. The feeling of something being taken away surfaced again for Shin.

“What, what are you doing?” Lilith looked at him with a heavenly  expression.

“…I’m going back!”

“Ah, wait a minute! I haven’t said anything yet!”

“…Don’t say anything today. I’ll ask you next time!”

“Huh? …Ah, wait, Shin!”

“Bye!”

True ran out of the woods and quickly escaped the park. Like a pure and ignorant young girl losing everything.

“What happened to that guy?”

“To arouse him sexually, this will do for today.”

The one talking to Lilith was the blonde man who had just been in the bushes. The girl who had been with him was nowhere to be seen.

“About two or three more days and it will work! Please, Airey.”

“I know.”

The two left the park and each disappeared in opposite directions.

Chapter 3 – Sanctuary

“True, get up? Trying to piss off the teacher again?”

“Hmm? Mari…”

“Don’t gawk! What? Did you go on another night out last night?”

The morning after the foreign students arrived, classes hadn’t started yet. As soon as True arrived in the classroom, he fell asleep on his desk.

“Really! Where did Mikami take you to play again?”

“Uh…yeah!”

Mari seems to think that Shin went on a night out with Shinichi last night. But, that’s not what happened. Shin replied vaguely, then looked at the classroom, Lilith hadn’t come yet. It should feel heavy to see her, right? Sophia was still surrounded by a large group of people, and Shin was relieved that he had broken his promise to her and didn’t want to make contact with her.

“Good morning, everyone!”

Luita entered the classroom when the bell rang. She seemed to be substituting for the class today as well.

Shinichi saw her and remembered what happened yesterday. Luita still had her usual expression. It was the same young German teacher who taught in Japan, Luita Guttenheim, who was the most popular female teacher in the school. Luita Guttenheim was the most popular female teacher in the school.

Serious, full of knowledge, and elegant. For the average seventeen year old boy, seeing her lustful appearance is something to brag about to his friends, right? However, Shin was too tired to do so.

(Lilith will tell her about me seeing them, right?)

Louetta stood at the podium and waited for everyone to be quiet before saying, “For something special today, please operate the keyboard.”

Every student in this school, has their own computer terminal. Because they are new OS equipment, they are very well equipped. It is now 1999, and many schools are still using WIN95 or 3.1, but this school is already using equipment scheduled for release at the turn of the next century.

When the screen was turned on, the face of a young girl appeared. On the screen, it said, “First year, class C. Tomoyo Togari. Her whereabouts were unknown five days ago. If you have any information about her, please notify the student council.”

“Although we launched a search operation, none of us have any leads. I hope you can help with the search, does anyone know of any leads?”

There was a commotion in the classroom but, no one raised their hands. And since school clubs were not prevalent, not many people would know about other grades.

At this point, only really hands are shaking.

“This girl…!!!”

With her hair tied in a ponytail on both sides and her childish face, it was the right young girl that she saw last night at the park in Watanuki Bridge.

“Taken by that man? No, it shouldn’t be like that. Her lost look, her empty eyes, they’re different from the eyes in this picture…”

True opened another viewport on the screen, an electronic mailbox. The school’s system wasn’t connected to the outside, so it was an internal communication. However, very few people would use MAIL, and although it was convenient to use it to chat during class, it could easily be seen by the teachers, so almost no one used it.

“Who is it?”

True doesn’t think about the missing teenage girl and opens his e-mail.

(Why didn’t you come last night? Come tonight! I’ll be waiting for you. Sophia Harland. Harland.)

“Ah…ah-ah!”

If you only read this letter, you’ll think it’s an invitation for a date, right? The school’s rules aren’t too strict, but I don’t want anyone to see this letter. Because of yesterday’s incident, Shin was already getting a lot of attention in class. Thinking that he might be discovered when he wrote back, he immediately deleted it. True looked in Sophia’s direction and nodded at her. She smiled at True, not looking angry at all.

“A great oversight…”

Really remembering what happened last night, he fell back into regret.

“Ms. Sophia, come here a minute, will you?”

“Okay…Hinokabe.”

Class time. True said quietly to Sophia and then went up to the pre-floor with her. True thought that it would be better to apologize to her first since he didn’t want her to pass MAIL again.

“I’m so sorry about yesterday, you have something to say! Say it here! I guess it’s not too convenient to go to your house, is it?”

“…Just calm down! What are you talking about?”

Sophia’s expression was rather stiff, her endowed face well defined, and she looked genuinely dumbfounded for a moment.

“…Well, because there’s not quite enough time after class.”

“Okay. Hinokabe, do you know the Bible’s book of Revelation?”

“Huh? The Book of Revelation? It’s about Judgment Day, right? They teach it in school, but the prophecies aren’t even accurate, so you can’t believe them, right? We’re a parochial school, but not everyone is religious, and I especially don’t believe in it. Are you trying to persuade me to be religious?”

True felt bummed out, but Sophia had a serious expression and continued, “That was a human prophecy, right? But that person wasn’t the prophet. However, the end of the world is coming soon, and it’s something that’s true.”

“I still don’t believe it!”

“Please hear me out. I want to use your power and I want you to help me!”

“Help you…Lilith said the same thing, do you two know each other?”

“What did she say to you!?” It was in a questioning tone.

“She didn’t say anything, you guys go to the same school, so don’t act like you’re enemies!”

Genuinely, there was no need to talk to her about yesterday. So he just said calmly. But Sophia still had a skeptical look on her face.

“…Yeah? I still have something to say.”

“I’m not interested in being religious!”

“Then…I’ll make it simple: the King of the End─King of Demons, Lucifer, is going to be resurrected in this world. Hinohashita, you are the Moshiach who will save mankind.”

“Huh? Mosiah? Is it the Savior?” The unexpected words surprised Shin.

(What’s wrong with this Sophia guy? Could it be, a religious fanatic…) The thought flashed through True’s mind.

“I knew you wouldn’t believe that easily. Hinokabe, you have the ‘Engraving of God’ on your body, and on your chest there are four words…”

“Huh…” said True as he couldn’t help but touch his chest, he did have small writing on his chest and it looked like four letters of the alphabet. But, the fact that Sophia would even know this startled True.

“YHWH…is the sacred four letters that are part of the proof that you are Mosiah. Please think about it, it’s useless for me to say more about the rest of it now that I’m here. ” Sophia said and turned around.

“Please believe me…you are the only hope. I’m doing what I can to save the world…” said Sophia as she walked down the stairs, her last tone of voice urgent.

Makoto stayed on the top floor and muttered, “Damn…this kind of headlessness.”

Having a marvelous feeling, True grabbed his shirt, exposing his chest. Seeing the skin that turned red, the marks became more and more obvious.

YHWH. the name of the Holy Lord…

“I can’t, I want to rest so bad.”

Classes are already in session. But, really don’t want to go to class, even though I can sleep for the whole class, I’ll see Sophia. Lilith will be there too, right? And the first class is German, so I’ll see Luita too. I really can’t stay in this boring classroom.

At the end of class, Makoto told the head of the health unit that he was going to the health center for a break and left the classroom. Although Asari showed a worried expression, she seemed to remember something else and pretended not to care.

“Well…if I had known, I would have skipped class today!”

But True didn’t go home right away; he went to the church attached to the school.

Because it is a parochial school, there is a church attached to it, but it is not small. Saga, which is surrounded by temples all around this area, is quite an expensive presence. It’s also great for the religious people in the neighborhood. Although the school was closed during school hours on the grounds that academics took precedence, but, Shin knew the way to open the door. It was something Shinichi had taught him. So the two would utilize this place when they wanted to skip class.

“If you want to skip class, this is the best place. No one will come.” Even if they went home, they would just be rambling. True, who wanted to change his mood, came to the church. He didn’t know that this choice would make his mood worse.

In the church, soft light streamed in through countless small windows. True felt a sense of peace even though he had no faith. As soon as he came here, he was able to understand what kind of mood people with devout faith were in.

“But to use this sacred place to escape…I have sinned and loathed myself and fled here…? Wait a minute! This is proper behavior! …Lord, forgive me my sins! Amen.”

Really walk towards the altar and make a cross. Thinking of the words of Sophia – the seal of God -…

“Haha! Like a fool! Go to sleep!”

True said, slumping down smoothly in the chair. Comfortable room temperature in the silent, non-moving air. It made True want to sleep quietly.

But before long, the silence was broken. Someone opened the door.

“Sisters? Is it patrol time? It sucks to be discovered…hide!”

The nuns who ran the church came in, and True hid in the confessional inside, where he wouldn’t be found, right? Inside the two connected rooms, Shin opened the one with the curtains. The other room had a wooden door, and there seemed to be voices from inside. The room with the curtain was the room where the confessors went.

“It’s a relief to be here, the nuns don’t just come in here, do they…?”

That’s when something warm was touched.

“Someone’s already in? What a surprise!”

True, who had entered the confessional, lowered the cloth curtain. In the confessional, it was dim even in the daytime. The darkness was unique to the church, and when the curtain was closed, it was pitch black. But it was certain that there were other people inside. In the small space, Shin’s body was close to that person.

“I’m sorry, let me hide…!?” It was the warm touch of his skin, literally his eyes slowly getting used to the darkness as they gradually took in the person’s stance, that made him suck in his breath.

“…！！”

It was a naked woman who seemed to be asleep.

“Ah!”

True took the lighter out of his pocket, he rarely smoked but carried a lighter with him. When he lit it, the room immediately became bright, and True’s eyes widened in even greater surprise.

“This girl…was missing…yesterday, last night…”

The girl whose whereabouts were unknown in the morning, as Luita had said─Tokari Tomoyo. She was wearing only her panties and her body was bound to the chair. Upon closer inspection, her panties were unzipped and a vibrator was inserted into her private parts, why was this happening?

Not really knowing what to do, he stood up. After ten minutes, the sound of the church door closing sounded. Pulling back the curtains to see that the nuns seemed to have gone back.

Makoto was only slightly reassured when another voice came.

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

The sound of a small engine, was it wireless, or did it have a time control? The massager began to move, and Tomoyo opened her eyes. They were the same empty eyes as last night.

“…more…” moaned Tomoyo as she looked up at Shin.

“Come on…I want more…”

Tomoyo wriggled her bound body. Although she looked at Shin, she didn’t seem to recognize him. Her sight had the strange feeling of a female animal that craved a male.

“Lick my body…caress me there…ahhhh, penetrate me faster…”

Tomoyo began to twist her waist, and the massager, which was moving slightly, oozed clear mucus from one end. There were also torn pieces of underwear on the ropes that bound her chest. At the same time the nipples hardened.

True couldn’t help but reach out and touch her breasts, the first time he had ever directly fondled a female breast. By the way, he’s still a virgin.

“Mmmm…yes, touch harder, crush me!”

(What am I doing…? I should save this girl, but, save her…) However, the hand that was placed on Tomoyo’s breasts felt very comfortable.

“Aaaaahhhh─pull the cap off…hurry! I don’t want the machine…hurry up with the hot, huge rod…”

The real split had swelled up and was becoming scorching hot.

“Come on, come on in…”

Tomoyo’s lewd gestures caused Really’s judgment to be completely lost.

(Saving her…means doing this, right!)

True pulled off her moistened panties, took hold of the massager, and began to move. It made cooing, cooing sounds, and his hands were covered in spilled liquid.

“Ahhhh…no, not like that…”

Makoto took off his pants and looked at Tomoyo’s secret place.

“This, this…”

Saliva dripped from the corner of Tomoyo’s mouth as Makoto pulled out the massager and inserted his own parting.

“Ahhhhhhh…ahhhh…!”

Tomoyo’s body was like a burning heat from a melting furnace, and the liquid from the mucous membrane of her secret place enveloped the real parting, wrapping it tightly.

“Haaaa…haaaaaa!”

As Tomoyo began to rapidly twist her waist, Shin pulled out his own part, and at the same time erupted, shooting all of his ejaculate onto Tomoyo’s body. “Thwooooooo…did it come out…? It’s so hot, that’s what I want…”

Tomoyo stuck out her tongue and licked the liquid that shot on her face, her expression in a trance. But, her head suddenly dropped with a thud, and she seemed to lose consciousness again.

“Haaah, haaah…what am I doing…”

Makoto left Tomoyo’s body and looked at the white murky liquid dripping from her secret part with extreme disgust at herself. Although she had gotten rid of her virginity, it was not a satisfactory situation. Losing her heavy virginity, and at the same time, it was also the first time she did something like this like a crime. Although Tomoyo had asked her to do it, and it wasn’t considered rape, she still couldn’t get rid of that criminal feeling.

The limp Tomoyo’s body was covered in lustful moistening liquid…the dirty woman, who did this with herself.

“Well…if someone finds out again…”

Really thinking about Lilith, he looked around and scrambled to get dressed.

“Rush, hurry up and deal with the aftermath!”

True put his top over Tomoyo and left the confessional. Not seeing the nun True locked the door and quickly returned to the schoolhouse. At this point, there was only one person who could please.

“Please that guy!”

Shin stopped in front of the classroom, which was still in session. He had just excused himself from going to the health room, but now that he was back in high spirits, the marijuana would show. True had to peek through a small window.

“Shinichi…not here? What kind of friends are you if you’re still fooling around during an emergency like this!”

“Something wrong?” It was Shinichi’s voice, and he looked up at Shin, who was lying on the window.

“You, you’re in?”

“What kind of friend am I if I’m not there in an emergency like this?”

“Haha, you heard me.”

“Forget it! Come down, what’s it like?”

Truly careful not to make a sound, he reached the hallway.

“Luckily it wasn’t discovered. There is something that can only be discussed with you.”

“You’re not sleeping in church again? What’s the matter?”

“That’s right…just come with me!”

“Hey, wait a minute! Hey!” Shinjyou pulled Shinichi’s hand and ran out of the church. Shinichi felt his hand keep sweating, so he ran after him without asking for a reason.

The two men opened the door to the church.

“Don’t panic. Weren’t you sleeping here?”

“Um… I was just here, and I saw something strange.” Although Shin said as calmly as he could, his nervous tone made Shinichi feel very suspicious.

“What the hell?” Shinichi asked.

“You’ll know it when you see it. This way!” Makoto led Shin to the confessional and pulled back the curtain.

“What, what’s going on here?”

Unlike when Shin had entered in a panic earlier, the curtains were lowered. Visiting in the dark little room, Tomoyo was still reclining on the chair, covered with Shin’s blouse but hardly covering her breasts. Shinichi sees her and casts a questioning look at Shin.

“No…it was like this when I came.”

“This was mentioned this morning, the missing girl, right? And…these are your clothes, what have you done?”

“No, no! I stumbled upon her, but she wasn’t wearing anything…”

“So, you covered her up?”

“Yeah, yeah…”

Shinichi was silent for a moment, gazing at Shin, and said, “…The way I see it, you don’t have the guts to do such a thing. Want to deal with it before you call me, right?”

Shinichi’s skeptical gaze disappeared, and Makoto was only slightly reassured.

“I want to discuss it with your god-sister. Only we can’t do anything about it!”

“Right…talk to her! Talking to anyone else will only lead to suspicion.”

Shinichi’s god-sister works in the health room. The health room is also where they skip school and she takes care of Shin.

“Let’s get a move on! We have to get there before class ends to make it. She’s still sleeping, right?”

“Well…probably…”

“Go! I’ll carry this side.”

“Uh…”

The two pulled the curtain off and wrapped up Tomoyo’s body. Taking the path that won’t be seen to the health room.

“God-sister, are you there?” Shinichi called as he ran into the health room, the woman sitting at the table looked at him and said, “Shinichi! You have to call me healer at school!”

Shinichi’s god-sister, Yukie, was wearing a white doctor’s uniform with a black plastic leather dress underneath. Her long hair was tied at the waist, and her large earrings were swinging. Although her make-up was conservative, she didn’t look like a doctor at the health center at all.

Every time Shin sees her, he thinks: won’t this get him fired? But, Yukie is quite good, and although she’s now the school’s health practitioner, but, sitting in second place, she even has what it takes to be the director of a major hospital.

“Sister Gan! Are there any other students here?”

“All the students here are working hard! There’s no one like you who skips class and comes here!”

“No one’s here? Great! Jin!”

“Zhen is with you? Really can’t do anything about you guys…”

“I’m sorry…”

Yukie was a bit surprised. But, her face changed when she saw Shin hugging Tomoyo.

“A… Shin… this girl is…”

From between the gaps in the cloth curtains, Tomoyo’s naked body could be seen, still bound with ropes.

“Please take a look at her!”

“Could it be, that you guys did this!?”

“No, no! God-sister, I’ll talk to you later, you can see her first!”

“Please…”

Makoto murmured. Bringing Tomoyo to see Yukie might expose her behavior. But True had thought of that when he brought her to the health room. But Yukie wasn’t an outside doctor, and it was unlikely that the school would call the police on the matter, so the likelihood that it would be exposed was almost equal to zero. But True, who had been disturbed by a series of backstabbing behaviors since yesterday, was filled with unease. That’s why it was silent.

“Ignoring Shinichi for now, there’s no way Shin would do such a thing! Come in!”

Makoto was shocked to hear Yukie call her “Makoto”, but he tried to calmly put Tomoyo on the bed. At that moment, Yukie locks the door to the healthcare room.

“You guys just stay here, there’s something I need to ask you before I do.”

Yukie began to help Tomoyo with her medical treatment and pulled the bed curtains closed.

Shin and Shinichi listened silently to the gangura of the sphygmomanometer, the electronic sounds of the brainwave meter, the clinic instruments clashing and making clanging noises.

“…Hello?”

Shinichi opened his mouth, and Shin lowered his head and looked up at him.

“Really, you really…”

“…Well…I just stumbled upon her…”

“…”

“You don’t believe me?”

“No, I’m sorry. Now that you say that, I’ll believe it.”

“Thank you.”

Really the mood is heavier. Although the mood would be lighter after saying everything to Shinichi here, right? But, it really doesn’t feel that way. I just felt that I had lost my closest friend. Perhaps, Shin never understood the meaning of “friend”.

“Hmm─you two are suspicious!” Yukie peeked out from the bed curtain.

“How’s it going, sis?”

“Well…as you can see, the situation is serious. She’s been in a coma for quite some time, she doesn’t seem to have eaten, and she’s very weakened.”

“Is she okay?”

“It’s a nutritional disorder, I put her on an IV. You guys should calm down a bit! I’d like to send her to a major hospital for a precision checkup, but, she’s a missing person?”

“Yeah.”

“What’s the best thing to do…from a doctor’s standpoint, I should inform. Even then, talk to another doctor. You guys are giving me a hard time now!”

“Don’t say doctor’s orders, God-sister.”

“Shinichi, don’t talk about me! Tell me what’s going on here!”

“Let me tell you, I’m the one who found her.” Shin told the incident. Of course, skipping the violation of Tomoyo.

“Really…so you say you’re not guilty then!”

“Still suspect us? God-sister?”

“That’s just your side of the story…I’m going to ask her when she wakes up.”

“God-sister!”

“Angry? Shinichi. Now that she’s in this situation, of course I can’t ask her. Anyway, it’s not like Shin to lie.”

“God-sister, you…”

“Got it, I don’t suspect you guys are, you’re just finders.”

“Thank you.” True said reflexively.

“God-sister, if only you had said so!”

“Shinichi, you called me god-sister again!”

“I’m sorry, Doctor. Is that okay?”

“And use honorifics to do so.”

“Yes, yes!”

Though the two laughed and cursed, Yukie peeked at Shin and Shin noticed her sight.

The bell for the end of class rang through the campus.

Makoto dismissed the idea of leaving early and stayed in the school because he was still worried about Tomoyo. Also, Lilith seems to be absent today.

“True, are you okay? It’s better to go home early, right?” Mari asked as she came to True’s side.

“…No, I’m fine. You’re not home yet either?”

“Well, I’m going back. It’s great that the woman didn’t show up today! “

“You mean Lilith?”

“I’m responsible for taking care of her! But after what happened yesterday, it’s really disturbing! She won’t listen to anyone, it’s so annoying!”

“Don’t say that, she’s only just arrived in Japan, so she’s not necessarily a willful person, is she? “Shin said casually, trying to hide his uneasiness.

“Darn it, and you’re defending her. Is she… that good?”

She was going to say: is kissing that good? But Asari didn’t go on, she probably didn’t want to. It was just kissing back then, what would happen if she knew what Shin did today?

“No, no!”

“Uh-huh? Well then, see you tomorrow!” She said in a sarcastic tone and left the classroom.

“Ahhh… really, this guy seems to be in a bad mood since yesterday? Huh, where’s Shinichi…?”

True searched for a moment of caution when a voice came from behind.

“I’m here, let’s go!”

“Well, it’s worrying about the girl.”

A few moments later, the two knocked on the door of the health room. When there was no answer, Shinichi pushed the door open with a single breath.

“God-sister, I’m coming in!”

“Can’t come in! Didn’t I tell you to knock before coming in? Besides, it’s the middle of a clinic.”

Shinichi took another ride from Yukie. But it’s a family affair now.

“I knocked! You’re the one who didn’t answer right away. I’m sorry.”

“You simply pushed the door open when you knocked!”

“Hey, we’re not here to fight!”

There really were no siblings. He liked the affectionate god-siblings, but, now didn’t seem like the time to be laughing and joking like that.

“Ah… I’m sorry, Shin. I used to scold this guy too! He’s here for Togari, right?”

“Uh-huh.”

“But, she’s not here anymore.”

“Huh?” True called out in surprise.

“Don’t yell! She wasn’t taken by another teacher, she…went home on her own.”

“Alone?”

“Well, she said she’s fine now.”

“God-sister, you’re such a pushover!”

“Shinichi, don’t talk nonsense! No matter how much I asked, she refused to clarify. Just said she didn’t want anyone to know. I can understand how she feels. When I had no choice, I had to call a female doctor I know and tell her to make sure she gets a checkup. Then she went back.”

“Well, have you told anyone else?”

“No. Said I was afraid it would get out, that the kid was more important than the school. She’s got a lot of hurt in her heart.”

“Is it? …because of us?” True asked fearfully.

“I asked her and showed her a picture of you guys.”

“God-sister, you don’t trust us!?”

“It’s a teacher’s duty. Don’t worry about it! She says she doesn’t know, but…”

“But what…?”

At that moment, Yukie pulled out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it. The room gradually filled with purple smoke, and the air in the health room, which originally smelled of alcohol, gradually changed.

“The girl…couldn’t remember who did it. She seemed to remember what happened to her, but said she didn’t know who did it. Also said what happened after the disappearance, but she didn’t know who else was there.”

“Was she ever blindfolded or locked up?”

“No. She did give details, and the place was clear, and she didn’t seem to be blindfolded. But, after such a long time, one should remember the other’s face, right?”

“Will you lose your memory from the surprise?”

“I don’t think so. Makoto, women are not weak and do not forget the faces of those they hate.”

“So…”

“My gut feeling is that she’s protecting someone, and there’s more than one.”

“More than one?”

“There seems to be more than one person who was violent towards her, if only she could remember.”

Neither Shin nor Shinichi answered.

“…This is just my speculation. She still has to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, and when the results come out, she has to report it to the school. Until then, you guys can’t say anything, okay?”

“Got it…”

On the way home, Shinichi though to True, “It’s good that she’s okay, don’t think about it!” But True remained silent.

(Will she…remember about me…?)

The sound of a rapid heartbeat echoed in his head.

Chapter 4: Angels and Demons

“Lower part of the day!”

After Shin and Shinichi parted ways, they were suddenly called again, and when they turned around, it was Sophia.

“Hey…you seem to be avoiding me all day! I know I’m causing you trouble. But, can you reconsider?”

“Ah, sorry.”

“You find my words hard to believe, so you don’t even take them to heart…do you?”

“No!” After being snubbed, True casually replied, “It’s just…”

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“I’d like to finish my sentence if I may.”

“Uh…”

“To my room…no, you don’t seem to want to…well, is it okay to say it where we talked in the morning?”

“The school roof? Uh-huh.”

“Hinokabe, you’re my school guide. Be my guide at night too!”

“Just call me Ho-jin!”

True accompanied Sophia back to school. The sun had already set, and the winter sun colored the nearby foothills red. When Shin saw this, he didn’t fall into a sentimental mood, but only felt more and more disgusted with himself.

“Hey! Is this classroom okay? There doesn’t seem to be anyone.”

“It doesn’t matter where you are as long as you can talk.”

“It’s so windy, it’s better not to go out!”

Really pulling up the curtains, it was dark outside. Only the lights in the hallway were dimly lit.

(Isn’t this, like being in a secret room?)

Because of the incident of violating Tomoyo, True lost confidence in his own rationality. Sexual impulses became strong, in which case it was possible for Sophia as well… The next thought didn’t stop True from getting scared.

“Come on, say it! What the hell do you want me to do?”

“Like I said this morning, I want you to save the world─as a savior.”

“Hey…as I said this morning, I’m not convinced. Though it’s too much to say…but, it’ll have to do for now. I hope you won’t say it again.”

The light was dim and it was not too easy to see Sophia’s face. True was able to firmly reject her because of that. When they first met, they were attracted by her eyes, and that feeling still exists in True’s heart. There was also her faint body odor that made True not feel that she was a woman, and that was also one of the reasons. But, apparently his words made Sophia anxious.

“It’s really disturbing. I’m going to elaborate on things, can you hear me out?”

“Come back here specifically to hear it, didn’t I!”

After Shin finished, Sophia sighed slightly before saying, “Hinashita-dou, no, Shin, you are the savior, the world is about to be destroyed, and you have to take on the task of saving it. I’ve said all this before.”

“Yeah.”

“In two months’ time, in the year 2000 A.D., it will be the Holy Year. But mankind will not be able to welcome that year, and the world will be destroyed. The next resurrection of the Fallen Angel, Lucifer, the first level demon, the Lord of Demons, will be on December 25, 1999, when he will be resurrected. Lucifer has been storing up his power for two thousand years since his last resurrection. The last time he only stored it for a thousand years, the power was strong enough to burn the whole world. This time He attempted to attack the Heavenly Realm. To stop it…there is no other way but to awaken the Savior within you.”

“Then, how shall I be sacrificed to me, the godfather?”

True said sarcastically, but Sophia wasn’t angry, instead she said in a more serious tone, “Godfather… if mankind had been able to welcome a new era, you might have been called that. Isn’t the Savior who descended two thousand years ago being honored now?”

“Two thousand years ago too?”

“At that time, the world was also threatened by Lucifer, but because of the Savior’s self-awakening, one man defeated the Demon King. Letting Lucifer return to the demon world until today.”

“Then, this time, you want me to defeat the Demon King? Even if I believe in the Demon King, I can’t defeat it, right?”

“No, you are chosen by God. The engraving of God on your chest is the best proof. But the environment has something to do with it, right? You don’t seem to be able to awaken yourself…so I was sent down from the heavenly realm in order to help you.”

“So you’re a messenger of God-an angel? It’s getting weirder and weirder. Have you…finished? I’ll give you a ride to your neighborhood!”

When I really wanted to end the conversation, I was stopped by Sophia, “As expected, you won’t believe me if I just talk about it. I have no choice but to show you my true colors, so you’ll understand…” after saying that, Sophia began to slowly take off her clothes.

“Hey, you?”

She revealed the upper half of her body and opened the curtains. The moonlight shone on her pale skin and she instantly fell forward.

“Uh…ah!!!” She made a distressed sound, then heard the sound of a bird flapping its wings. Sophia stood up, her back facing him.

“…！！”

Sophia’s back with the moon on her back is like a statue of a goddess…the large wings on her back make it really feel like you are looking at a religious painting.

“As you can see, I’m an angel. That’s the proof, huh?”

Sophia’s voice sounded a little pained. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the feather had scratched the skin on her back, slightly oozing blood.

“It’s still moving! Look…”

Snapping sand, snapping sand! The wings moved slowly. But with each movement, blood flowed from the wound on her back. Darkening her pale skin.

“Know, know! Don’t move.” Shin ran to her side, panting. This transformation was a big load on her body, right?

“Please believe me…”

“I believe, I believe.”

True suffered a shock at seeing Sophia’s gesture and told her to stop her movements. But, there was still some doubt.

“Great…”

“Uh, are you okay?”

“Well…I’ll go on to explain the exact method of awakening…”

“No, no need. We’ll talk about it another time, let’s just go home now!”

“I’m fine…”

“I’d like to hear it calmly, too. The world is going to end, isn’t it?”

“…It seems you believe it! Then, that’s good…but the day of Lucifer’s resurrection is approaching, so I’d better say it as early as possible.”

“Uh-huh.”

True dressed Sophia. Took the road less traveled as much as possible and drove her back home. Had to avoid people because of her wings, which showed through the top of her dress.

“It’s up to Zhen to save the world…”

On the way back, Sophia said the same thing several times. Really when it kept echoing in her head, she had already returned to her room.

“But…saying I’m the Savior…even though I just saw it, I still can’t believe it. The only evidence is the angel’s wings, and the mole on my chest ah!”

True pulled back his shirt and looked anew at the mole on his chest that had been there since he was a child.

“YHWH-is that God’s name? It’s pronounced that way…it’s just a coincidence, right?” Shin thought as he burrowed into the quilt.

“Not even knowing what she’s about, will she be fooled by her wiles?”

His self-talk echoed through the room. But really nothing could be heard. There was an angel feather in his hand, glowing faintly in the quilt; it wasn’t an artificial light like glow-in-the-dark paint, and it felt slightly warm to the touch.

“Uh…”

At that moment, the phone in the room rang.

“It’s times like these…it’s Shinichi, right? There’s no way to fool around anymore!”

It was only a little after nine in the evening, the time Shinichi usually came to ask him out.

“Hello?”

“Zhen, it’s me!”

The sappy voice, it was Lilith calling.

“It’s a school matter, you should go to Asari and Tokiwa.”

“So cold oooh! …Are you like that with Sophia? You guys met, right?”

“You… how do you know?”

“You’ve been seen!”

“Who is it? What did you see?”

“What about your panicked look, what did you do?”

“Nope!”

“Uh-huh. By the way, aren’t you going out tonight?”

“I’m going to bed, are you?”

True asked as he kept calculating in his mind. Should I meet with Lilith again? Shin was hesitant. It’s okay to meet at school, but I don’t have the courage to meet in private.

“Wow. Sleeping in early! I was going to tell you about Sophia!”

“You sure have heard of her!”

“I said it wasn’t me. But I thought you were in trouble, that’s why I called you! Don’t you want to know the truth?”

“…Got it.”

She seemed to know exactly what was going on because of the same international student.

“Then I’ll meet you at home, just across the front park.”

With a feeling of being seen through, True walked out of the apartment and towards Lilith’s house.

Ringing the doorbell, Lilith immediately came out to answer the door, still in her pajamas.

“Come in!”

It didn’t look like a girl’s room in there, with things cluttering up. It seemed to have been an office. The floor area was enormous, and the only other things were the bed, refrigerator, small cupboards, and telephone. It was heated, but the concrete walls gave the impression of coldness. The windows were slightly open, and the sun didn’t shine close during the day, did it?

“Hasn’t the luggage been moved yet?”

“That’s all there is. The clothes are in that room.”

In the direction Lilith was pointing, was an iron door to what appeared to be another room. There was a small door next to it. It appeared to be the bathroom.

“Why are you looking around? Are you here to check the room?”

It’s been at least ten days since Lilith came to Japan. But looking at this room, it feels like no one lives here.

“Sorry for such a boring room. I thought it would be better to clear out the trash ah! But it’s conspicuous to be so empty, isn’t it?”

Literally at his feet, garbage bags were strewn about. It was the only thing in the room that had any sense of life.

“I guess you’d say cleaned up! That’s why it’s been organized.”

Lilith took the garbage bags and threw them down one by one through the window, this being the third floor of the apartment!

“Don’t be like that! It’s so…you have no common sense! You can’t do that in Japan.”

“You can’t do that in Germany either! But I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable.”

“I’m okay with that, it’s not like the garbage stinks.”

“Then I won’t throw it, it’s too much trouble! Come this way!”

“Really!”

Despite her words, her gesture of throwing garbage from the window in her pajamas, which was different from usual, was adorable. True’s wariness of her slowly loosened. The two sat down on the edge of the bed; it was a Western-style room, and there was no place to sit other than the bed.

“Hey, Sophia what did she say?”

“! You don’t know?”

“I don’t know, I’ve only heard a little about her.”

“I’m going back.”

“Wait a minute, I’m not going to lie to you. Can you imagine what she said? She didn’t say anything about a savior?”

She grabbed True’s arm and looked into his eyes. All of a sudden True was sucked in by the red pupils of her eyes and couldn’t help but sit down again.

“…she, said something to persuade me to be religious or something like that.”

“What’s it like? Can you tell me?”

True told Lilith all of Sophia’s words in great detail, wanting to pour it out with someone as if she was venting.

“She said she wanted me to save the world. A little character like me!”

“Well, there is nothing you can do about it. And, you will destroy the world!”

“Hahaha, yeah… Huh? What did you say?”

“You will destroy the world. That is to say…you’re Lucifer Yay!”

True, who was originally talking endlessly, did not know what to say at this time. The red pupils, which were originally lowered, were now staring straight at True.

“You’re the highest level demon─Lucifer, not Mosiah. Sophia’s words are half true and half a lie.”

“Sh, what? You’re religious partners?”

“Partners? You’re kidding! I’m a partner with an angel like that? I’m Lucifer’s wife─Lilith.”

“Why are you saying strange things again! Don’t confuse me! This time you say, you’re the devil’s wife?”

“Yes, and the mother of many demons.”

“So are you going to show up with the same wings as Sophia?”

True pulled a feather from his pocket and the pupils of Lilith’s eyes lit up. The two had unknowingly opened up between conversations, and True was puzzled by the change.

“This kind of thing, I’ll show you too!”

Lilith said, and wings extended from her back as well. But it wasn’t as painful as Sophia’s then. But, the biggest difference was the color and shape. While Sophia’s were as snowy white as a swan, Lilith’s were like bats, a deep black color like ink. The wings pierced through the clothes and reached up to the ceiling.

Black wings twitched in the room, and the white, shiny feathers in Makoto’s hand grew black and dull as he touched one of them.

“Show that guy this! It’s black and beautiful, isn’t it? I’m not finished yet!”

“What?”

“I’m not a fallen angel, in fact, was created as a human mother…”

“Huh? What…?”

“No way! The more I stretch out my wings, the less I can repress myself! I’m going to remind you: I’m your wife!” Lilith flew to True and kissed him furiously. She grabbed his shirt so hard that the buttons fell off, leaving True’s chest exposed.

“Hee hee hee…there really is! Here’s the proof…finally!” As soon as she saw the four letters on her chest, she kissed it.

Shin exclaimed out, “Ummm… Lilith, don’t do that!”

“Don’t want it? You raped that girl and you won’t do it with me?”

“…for, why do you know?”

“I know everything as long as it’s about you!”

“This kind of thing… ah!”

Lilith stripped all of her real clothes off.

“Hate doing it with me so much, do you?”

Lilith’s massive black wings folded as her body covered down. The clothes broke as the wings stretched out, causing all of the pale skin to be revealed to True. The body that was even more voluptuous than Tomoyo’s caused a feeling of engorgement in True’s lower half. It puffed up even more when touched by Lilith.

“I’m so happy…I want Zhen and you want me. Then don’t think about anything, just give vent to your desires.”

“…ah!”

Lilith took the real split in her mouth, and the real felt wrapped around her tongue.

“What a lovely voice…”

In Lilith’s mouth, True immediately went to extinction. She drank every drop of the liquid that True shot out. Several swallowing sounds were heard.

“Mmm…haaaaahhhh…it’s so good…but-“

Lilith’s mouth didn’t leave. Really the doppelganger hardened again in the sticky liquid mixed with cum and saliva.

“I… I also…”

True lay down on his back and Lilith turned around, the feminine odor stimulating True as she turned her lower body to his face. Still stimulated by her tongue, True’s parting swells even more than it did a moment ago. True tastes nectar as he licks her bud.

“Awww…ahhhhhhhhh…Zen, stick your tongue in…”

Chirp hoo, chirp hoo…the two sounds formed a chorus. True could no longer hold back and got up and left Lilith’s body.

“…Can, can it be done…?”

True nodded, and Lilith slowly lowered her waist above the alter and slowly went deeper.

“Ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah…I, have been waiting…for this time…”

All in, Lilith began to move, slowly…

“Ha…haaaaaa…ah!”

True was extremely satisfied with her slow movements. He grabbed Lilith’s hips and began to move, thrusting from the bottom up.

“Ah, ah ah! Give it to me…ha, ahhhhh!” Really the movements gradually accelerated, and Lilith moved her hips more fiercely.

“Ah, ah, uhhh…! Shin…!!!”

“Leigh, Lilith…!”

Lilith’s torso collapsed onto Literally’s chest as the two reached their zenith.

Waking up, Lilith was still lying beside her. The two seemed to have slept for a while, and it wasn’t even morning yet.

“Still want to do it…? I should have at least resisted, I didn’t realize I was so horny!”

“It’s okay to be like that, it’s in your nature to give vent to your desires at will.”

“Lilith, you’re awake?”

“To finally be with you again…do you know how long I’ve been waiting?”

“That’s…you tell me a little bit about it?”

“…Sure enough you still can’t remember. You’ll know when the resurrection comes. But it’s better if I tell you first!”

Unlike when asking Sophia, really the attitude became serious. In embracing Lilith, he no longer suspected anything. But he was anxious because he couldn’t remember certain things.

“Partly as she said, Lucifer will come back to life this Christmas. But, referring to you.”

“She said I was Mosiah. And this ‘engraving of God’ on my chest?”

“That’s what she said. You─Lucifer are a fallen angel, and it’s not strange that you have God’s engraving. You were originally an angel, but you fell into the demon realm. You have powers that are unimaginable in the heavenly realm, and they knew this two thousand years ago. That’s when Mosiah really showed up and defeated you. But not this time, this time you’ll have to adopt a gentle strategy to return to the heavenly realm before you regain your memories and resurrect.”

“Restoration of Heaven?”

“When the fallen angels return to the heavenly realm again, they are called the Restored Angels. Sophia is also a Restored Angel, but she is a Betrayer.”

“What about you?”

“I was never meant to be an angel or a demon, but was created as the mother of mankind-Adam’s wife. But Adam abandoned me, and I could only protest a little. In today’s parlance, equal rights for men and women are not recognized. And then what happened to Adam is written in the Bible. But, with no place to go…what was I to do?”

“This was before there were humans, right?”

“Well, it’s okay if you don’t believe me. I was wandering around, having sex with people. Until I met you, Lucifer. You, who fell from the heavens, are completely different from Adam and the others. You loved me without treating me like an accessory, so I married you. But you challenged God and left me behind…!” Lilith buried her head in True’s chest and warm tears dripped down.

“I’ve been reincarnated…I want you to be resurrected so that you can go to the heavens and take revenge on Adam’s children!!!”

“Stop it…I know.”

“…”

True hugged Lilith tightly, and though her words were absurd, True didn’t doubt them at all.

Chapter V. Direction of the Heart

Early the next morning, Lilith, as before, said it was too much trouble and she didn’t want to go to school. There was really no choice but to go home first.

As soon as I got home, I noticed that the room was not the same as it was when I left yesterday, it had been tidied up.

“Mari?…barging in arbitrarily again, I don’t know how many times I’ve told her off!”

A note was left on the table, dried with a rag.

Where have you been? You’re going to ruin your body every day! Mari-

“Ughhh─! Waiting for me?” Shin said and hurriedly ran in the direction of the school.

“Good morning, Shin. What’s gotten into you? Tokiwa called several times and made so much noise that I couldn’t sleep!” Shinichi said as soon as he arrived at the classroom and ran over to him.

“I’m sorry!”

“Is it okay to say you’re sorry? Really!”

“Makoto!” Mari’s voice came from behind her.

“…ah.”

Asari’s eyes were swollen and red, as if she hadn’t gotten enough sleep.

“Where did you run off to yesterday!” She asked anxiously.

“I…no, why should I apologize to you…you snuck into my room again…uhh!” Shin wanted to continue, but Shinichi gagged him and whispered in his ear, “Idiot, what are you trying to say?”

“But, but…”

Shinichi simply fixed his real arm behind his back, and when Asari saw that, she said, “I don’t care! Just let the trash drown you!”

Shocked by her aura, Shinichi loosened his grip.

“Woah, what a scary killing aura! Tokiwa is really angry yo!”

“Just ignore her!”

“Changpan is so pathetic!”

“It’s nothing to do with Shinichi, is it? I’m not going to pester him anymore, it’s not like it’s a manga!”

“In that case, it’s not a comic but a game.”

“Huh?”

“Think of it as a game, male-female relationships, isn’t that what they are?”

“Shinichi, what are you thinking? Aren’t you ashamed to say that?”

Makoto laughed dumbly, and seeing the newspaper lying in Shinichi’s shirt pocket, he said, “It’s so rare, Shinichi can read the newspaper too.”

“…This one? Haha, Shin, don’t know about this, do you?”

“What?”

Shinichi proudly opened the newspaper. The headline was Black Christmas.

“There’s a big eclipse this Christmas! There’s no way to predict it yet, but, yesterday, a comet was spotted.”

“A comet is going to hit the earth?”

“The eclipse is not going to hit. But there will be shadows that will cover the earth in half, and the earth will be completely out of light for a little while.”

“Huh? Why would an eclipse of this magnitude only be discovered now?”

“It doesn’t seem real! It’s in the papers, so maybe it’s true. It doesn’t matter what happens as long as the earth doesn’t end.”

“Hmph, aren’t you touched at all? It’s the celestial show of the century!”

Shinichi isn’t just a gaming fan, he’s also an astronomy nut. There’s also: psychic fanatic and rock fanatic, a wide range. Shin, who has no interest in anything, sometimes doesn’t play well with him.

“…I’m going to sleep.”

“Another day of sleep today.”

At Christmas, there is an eclipse. Shin was intrigued. It was Lucifer’s resurrection day, but, there was no point in talking to Shin about it.

At that moment, Asari slumped down on her desk and muttered, “Aaah, that’s infuriating! Apologize, don’t even know how I feel.”

Occasionally there are footsteps, but they don’t reach the ears of the real ones who have become captives of the Sandman. To the student, it was just noise that interfered with the lesson, ringing hollowly.

“Were you okay last night? Sophia.”

At the end of the school day, True, who had been passed out in the classroom all day, said to Sophia as soon as she woke up.

Regardless of what Lilith said, it was better to hear what Sophia had to say first.

“Zhen, are you worried about me? I’m sorry. I…”

“I know, you still have something to say, don’t you?”

“Um…please wait.”

Sophia didn’t expect to really take the initiative to talk to herself. She was a bit surprised, but immediately lowered her head.

“It’s fine to go back together though, but people will see. You wait!”

About ten minutes later, in the deserted library, Sophia and Luita, whispered to each other.

“It’s starting, Sophia?”

“Well, it’s a bit strange…but it’s only if you open the initial key.”

“The survival of this world has a lot to do with us. We also need to quickly investigate the reincarnated angels ooh!”

“Cheer each other on, for the stability of the heavenly realm.”

Luita seems to be partners with Sophia, in which case…

“Zhen, you’re early!”

“Ah, because I don’t have much to do.”

“Come in.”

Sophia smiled and invited him in. A single room of about six tatami mats, unlike Lilith’s room, was very much like a girl’s room. But without particularly cute decorations, it was cleaned up and had a warm feeling to it.

Coming to the room of a woman living alone, this was the second time. Although it was different from Lilith’s room, True was still a bit concerned.

“It’s the same thing!” True picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, saying so. Sophia’s expression immediately became serious.

“Aye. It’s great that you believe me.”

“Not exactly! I’ll have to judge for myself.”

“Okay, then I’ll say what I have to do regarding Mosiah’s awakening.”

“Wait, you said I was going to fight before, so tell me about Lucifer?”

“I’m not quite sure…in fact, don’t know his current stance. The last time he appeared was a long time ago, and I don’t know what he’ll grow into now that he’s accumulated power. Only know that he has been in this world, reincarnated as you.”

Then Sophia made the following note: Luminary Hua was an angel who fell from the heavenly realm and was exiled to the depths of hell in the demonic realm. It was roughly the same as what Lilith had said, though it lacked freshness. But it made True more able to confirm it.

“Huh…it’s too scary to ask me to fight that guy alone, isn’t it?” Makoto said jokingly, only to realize that her blue eyes showed a serious light.

“It’s a terrible thing for you to do, but with us…”

“What the hell am I going to do?”

“Lucifer will be resurrected on December 25th. Things to do before then…True, do you have any sexual experience?”

“Huh?”

Sophia splits her head to ask such things, but she seems serious.

“I’m sorry, it’s hard to talk about this kind of thing, isn’t it? Anyway, today…”

“Huh? Huh? Whoa!”

She had moved closer to True, removing his clothes and showing her naked body as well. True, though confused, still complied with her actions.

“I…am a prostitute.”

“What?”

“No, it’s nothing…”

Sophia’s mouth gagged on True’s question. The slight movement of her tongue aroused True. Her words also made True feel more pleasure.

“Hey…do whatever you like with me!”

Sophia’s mouth left and lay back on the bed. True caressed her breasts, which weren’t terribly plump but were bouncy. True didn’t feel like strengthening his power.

“Ah… it hurts!” Sophia moaned in a small voice.

“Yeah, sorry…”

“…It’s okay, do as you like! I’m the one who should say I’m sorry!”

True calmed down slightly and thought of Lilith. However, it was now impossible to remove her hands from her breasts. True was attacked by an unstoppable urge, and instead, she strengthened her power, trying to make her even more frenzied.

“…uhh!”

True rubbed her breasts harder and licked them with his tongue again. Sophia let out a moan, causing True to move more roughly, his free hand reaching for Sophia’s garden.

“…Don’t rush…”

But, the garden was already wet and True slipped his fingers in.

“Ah! Ah, uh…”

Sophia’s body was filled with hot, wet goo, and True pushed his part against the attempted penetration, entering her easily.

“Uh…uh..! You’re in too much of a hurry, Shin…”

True started moving her waist without caring, and Sophia moved as well. Though she resisted with her mouth, but, it was obvious that she wanted to enjoy the pleasure.

“Ah, ah ah ah!”

Clamped by Sophia’s body, True had almost reached the boundary.

“Ah…already!”

“Mmm, mmm, going to go…ahhhhh!”

She clenched tighter and really couldn’t resist cumming inside her.

“Ha, ah ah ah!”

“Haaah, haaah!”

When Sophia’s body left, she really felt weak all over and extremely tired. Then it fell into dreamland.

“Get up! Hinokabe, Hinokabe Shin!”

“Uh…”

Louita’s voice came to her ears.

“! This, this is…”

“Not at school! Good morning, Shin.”

Pasha! True jumped up, he was still in Sophia’s room. What appeared before his eyes was actually Luita, with Sophia standing behind her. True saw the red haze outside the window and realized that he seemed to have slept for a long time.

“Why here, teacher? Is it, is it because of my skipping class?”

True asked soberly, and Sophia said, “It doesn’t help that you’ll be shocked, I haven’t made myself clear, I’m sorry.”

Luita brought her face closer and gazed at the mole on True’s chest.

“…Well, it’s Mosiah’s ‘God’s Engraving’, it’s not like the others ya know! I’m actually Sophia’s partner and never told you, sorry.”

“Huh? Sensei is also… an angel from the heavenly realm?”

“Yes, I’m here to help you.”

“So… Teacher and I…”

“Sophia has opened the ‘key’, so I don’t have to do it with you. But you can do it if you want to!”

“No, I… what do you mean ‘key’…?”

“Ah, is the teacher that unattractive?”

“No, it’s not.”

Luita looked different than usual, from the one she saw in the playground restroom…?

“Luita, don’t make fun of him, let me explain.”

“Yeah.”

“I’ll say them in order, so listen well! Right now…there are several angels who are on the ground aiding Zen in his battles.”

“Is it you and Ms. Luita…?”

“No. We don’t have that kind of power. When we descended from the heavenly realm, we used up a lot of our power. It’s the powerful destructive angels that descend in the form of reincarnation! But…”

“Sophia was not found, and I descended to earth first in search of angels.”

Luita interjected, really feeling a little weird. Things are getting clearer, aren’t they? No, not yet, there’s still the matter of Lilith…

“Those don’t matter! I haven’t found all the angels yet,…Zhen, there’s something I need to ask you!”

“Please me?”

“The way to make a reincarnated angel awaken is─to have sex with Shin. This is how you can prepare to echo Moshiach’s ritual to awaken him. That was the method I used last night to unlock a portion of True’s sealed power and allow the angel’s ability to awaken. That’s the ‘key’ that Luita was talking about.”

“Want me to have sex with them?”

“Well, make love to all the angels before Lucifer comes back to life. It’s not difficult to remove the real seal just by having sex, is it!”

“So last night, you asked me if I had any experience…but…”

“Don’t worry! Angels are all female.”

Luita’s answer, as expected.

“The only one who reincarnated as a male is Mosiah, great! Ah Zhen. You have to remember that there’s no ‘Arsenic Engraving’ on the body of an angel, ooh!” Luita said.

“Yes?”

“Also, the angels are all around you, so if they’re not around, they can be a pain in the ass!”

“You want to do this job, don’t you? It’s just like earlier, having sex with people in the heavenly realm, expending your energy and then going to bed, life could be a mess, right?”

“Uh, I know. Sophia…”

True spoke briefly and left Sophia’s house.

“How is he?”

“Seems like it’s okay to believe it, probably?”

“That’s fine…but no failures, oh! Sophia.”

“We’ll just have to trust him now.”

“…Yeah!”

True got home and started the shower.

“It always feels wrong…I don’t seem to have to do this kind of thing, they treat me like a prop…”

True got out of the bathroom, got dressed and left the apartment. “True, it’s you? So happy!”

True knocks on the door to Lilith’s room, and she kisses True furiously as she leads him inside.

“Well, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Clank, the iron door closed.

“Talk to me about anything. I’ll do you a favor…there’s a suspicious smell oooh!”

“…It seems like I can’t hide it from you. I was trying to discuss it with you, but, maybe you’ll get angry.”

“Ah, it doesn’t matter who you do it with as long as you want to do it! Don’t compare it with humans. You’re Lucifer, and acting like a demon before you’re actually resurrected would be pleasing to me as well.”

“Sh, what do you mean?”

“But, instead of the scent of angels, dye my scent!”

After saying that, Lilith pressed True down. This time, it was even more passionate than the last time, and seemed to melt True. After finishing, the body was covered in Lilith’s sweat and love juice.

“True, what else did Sophia do to you besides make love?” On the bed, Lilith asked as she gasped for breath.

“Say what you will about ‘the key’ but I’m not feeling it…you know?”

“Know. I felt that power when you were inside me. It’s different than usual.”

“So, instead of Lucifer, I’m Mosiah?”

Shin feels uneasy about leaving Lilith, who is watching over him unconditionally. For the first time, True, who was estranged by both parents, has feelings for someone. But, if he were Mosiah, Lilith would be hostile to him, and he was afraid of that.

“It wasn’t! That’s Lucifer’s power. You used to be an angel, that’s for sure. So was that…’God’s Engraving’.”

“Uh-huh.”

“Still can’t take my word for it? Tell you what they are hiding!”

“What is it?”

True embraced Lilith’s ample breasts, her body heat making him feel at peace.

“Did your mom ever hug you like that?”

“Doesn’t ring a bell. My parents seem to hate me.”

“It’s not hating, it’s not being able to love you.”

“But they’re my real parents, they’re supposed to take care of me.”

“Biological parents…looks like you don’t know anything. At least, your dad isn’t your real father!”

“Am I a bastard?”

“No. Your mother didn’t have sex with anyone for two years before she had you. Including your father.”

“Then how am I born?”

True lifted his face to gaze into Lilith’s eyes; she didn’t look like she was lying.

“Your parents are archaeologists, aren’t they?”

“Uh, but what does that have to do with it?”

“…It was more than ten years ago! Your parents went to a country in the Middle East to investigate the ruins and discover the ‘Dead Sea Document’. They were young and impetuous at the time, and dived deeper than the other researchers. They found a pot that no one had ever touched. They were so excited that they opened it on the spot and deciphered the parchment scrolls within. This action led to their fate. It says: ‘The woman who first saw this instrument will suffer the birth of the Final Coming’ Whoo!”

“…”

“Your parents, while not entirely convinced, deliberately went months without sex, trying to prove that it was an unwarranted prophecy. True’s mother did the same. But after three months, they had to go to the OB/GYN for a checkup. That prophecy was true, and the baby that was born was you.”

“Cheating, cheating, right?” Really’s voice shook slightly.

“The paperwork also says something about ‘God’s engraving’. Your mother saw you being born and felt uncomfortable. Gave that paperwork to the nuns at your alma mater – the school you’re attending now. Does that give you a clue?”

“I don’t believe…”

“There’s nothing you can do if you don’t believe me. Sophia and the girls know that I don’t lie. Can’t you go to the church and investigate?”

It does fit with the facts. Lilith knew it was really possible to sneak into a church and investigate without sounding like a bluff.

“Whose child am I…really?” True murmured in despair.

“Though a child of God, he was abandoned… poor Shin… but, with me, I can do everything for you! Just like you did for me before…”

Lilith hugged True who grabbed her chest and kept kissing furiously. True didn’t make a sound, just kept shedding tears.

Since that day, True has been staying at Lilith’s house. The level of intimacy with her grows with each passing day. She accepts True with tenderness and lets him see all her expressions. It was a reaction to having been alienated from others and feeling unloved, wasn’t it? True only thinks of Lilith. Because doubting her words would also cast doubt on himself, True refrained from looking for proof.

He had been totally attracted to her.

Chapter 6: Deception

It was a week before Makoto went to school. Lilith, thinking that she couldn’t let anyone get suspicious, urged him to go to school.

“Ah! Ah-jin! Where have you been? The door to the room wasn’t locked!”

Asari’s reaction was as expected. At this point, Shin only felt depressed.

“Leave me alone okay!”

“What’s with the attitude? I’m worried, you’ve been acting strange lately…”

“Long-winded!”

Makoto roared at her. This was a rare thing for Asari. Even Makoto was startled at how loud she was.

“Ah, sorry…”

“…Forget it, don’t say it.”

Usually Asahi would yell back at him, but she only whispered now. That didn’t stop Makoto from feeling a little intolerant.

“I’m sorry, I apologize.”

“No, I was being annoying, I’m the one who should apologize, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. By the way, do you know Lilith? She doesn’t even come to school, I’m her guide ah.”

True then remembered that the phone at Lilith’s house had rung several times.

“…I, I don’t know.”

“Right, Shin, don’t keep skipping school! Go take care of Sophia. She seems to care about you a lot.”

Hearing Asari’s words, Shin remembered that Lilith had said not to arouse Sophia’s suspicion. He looked over at Sophia and when he met her eyes, he realized that she had been looking at him. True smiled at her, and she smiled back at True, who was slightly reassured.

But the next session, she passed on the MAIL. it read: please come to my house today, really remembering what she said the other day about angels.

“What to do…”

That day after school, True hurriedly prepared to go home. Thinking to himself that he could only do what Sophia said.

“Really, come on!”

“Ah, Shinichi. I want to leave early today!”

“Just come for a second.”

Since Shinichi said so, the two went up to the top floor.

“Do you remember that girl recently?”

“Uh, you mean Togari, right?”

“I asked my god-sister, but, her whereabouts are still unknown.”

“Ah…since that day? It’s been ten days!”

“And there was no briefing. God-sister let her go…this will come out, right?”

“Well, that’s bad.”

“I don’t care! You’re the one who found her, you’re responsible!”

“Why do you say that…ah, but─” Shin said, suddenly thinking of a clue.

“Ah… I don’t know what to do now… I don’t know…”

What really comes to mind is that Lilith should know the man he met in the park.

“Really? Great! And to find my god-sister…”

“Wait, there’s no appointment! But even if the clues are wrong, I’ll still go for it.”

“So, I owe you a favor.”

“Don’t say that. It’s also because of me that you have to care so much ah! Also, I don’t have any siblings so I don’t quite understand about you liking your god-sister…is that like liking a girl in your class? “

“Stupid, totally different!”

“But isn’t God-sister a woman?”

“I don’t remember saying anything like that, give me a break!”

Shinichi told True a long time ago that he liked his god-sister. Because he lives with her, sometimes when he can’t sleep at night, he asks Shin to go for a night out. This is what he said when he was drunk, I don’t know if it’s true or not.

“Don’t be shy! I’ll find the girl. Bye!”

“Please!”

“Welcome! How are you feeling so far today? How’s your health?”

“I’m fine, thanks for asking.”

“It would be bad if anything happened to True’s body!” Sophia said with a smile, which made Shin feel a sense of disgust.

(…Sure enough, she’s just trying to use me…?)

“Please come in! There are other guests today!”

“Whoa?”

In addition to Luita, there was a strange girl in Sophia’s house. Judging from the uniform, it was a student from the same school as True.

Luita clarified, “She was mentioned before, has the mark of an angel on her, and is called Megumi Kijima.”

“Hi, I’m Kimishima from second year class C. You’re Mosiah?”

“Well, that’s what they said…”

“Teacher, is it really this guy?”

“He’s like this now, but he’ll be a different person when he awakens!”

“Well, since Sensei said so…”

Sophia whispered, “Shin, do as I say. Please!”

“But, but, suddenly…”

“Ms. Kei knows all of this. She was the first of the women we found to know.”

What Sophia was talking about was this: to unseal her to awaken her, which meant actually having sex with her.

“Let’s go out and shake it up a bit, cheers! Jin!”

“Ah… Sensei! Wait!!!”

Luita left the room with Sophia even though it seemed like she still wanted to say something to Kei. The two of them, Shin and Kei, were left in silence.

She seemed to be thinking about something and gazed at True for a moment. True lowered her head to avoid her gaze.

“Why don’t you say something?” She opened her mouth a little anxiously.

“I… I…”

“What? Don’t want to do it with me then?”

“No, it’s not that.”

Kei is extremely attractive. She has long, straight, transparent hair. Although she was the same age as Shin, she had a mature face. From the outside, she looks plump, but her demeanor is still girlish, creating a wonderful contrast.

“Ah, uh…you know what to do, right?”

“That’s what that was! That’s why I’m here.”

“But…wouldn’t it be irresistible to do something like that?”

“Of course! We’ve only met for the first time, but I’ll take Sophia’s word for it. So… there’s no way around it!”

“You said there was no way…”

“Get into bed! Stop talking!” With that, Kei took off her top and lay down on the bed.

“What’s wrong with you? I was hoping to be dominated by you!”

“…” True was silent for a long time and walked over to Kei.

“Don’t be too rough! I’m shy and I’m still a virgin.”

“Huh…” hearing Kei say that, Shin couldn’t help but stop his hand.

“Ah, I’m sorry. Don’t mind what I said.”

“Then… don’t do it. Lie to Sophia and the girls and say ‘it’s done’!”

“What? I can’t!”

Kei was silent for a moment, still slowly taking off her clothes.

“See…”

Her nakedness was more tantalizing than True could have imagined.

“That’s so shy! But it’s my destiny. To be with someone like you…I was so troubled that I lost sleep for days. But, the person is already here. You know what it means, right? “

“…”

“…I may have spoken too much before. You’re going to be angry, aren’t you? But I just want to do what I can.”

Not really knowing what to say, he put his hand on Kei’s shoulder.

“Well, I won’t talk about it. As long as my body saves the world, you don’t care.”

Kei said so. True was confused but stopped thinking about it. He climbed on top of Kei and felt a sense of guilt at the thought of her. But in reality, her nakedness provoked True’s desire. Instead of stating it all, it would still be easier to follow that desire.

“…Mmm!” Really touching her breasts, her whole body shook and she seemed nervous.

“Relax!”

“Uh…”

True suppressed his excitement and caressed her slowly. Her body opened slightly, and with his fingers and tongue, he caressed from her nipples and back to her waist. The untouched skin reacted. True’s hand touched the garden.

“Ah…don’t, so shy!”

True ignored her and launched a focused attack on the garden that was still full of wetness.

“Aaahhhh…!” She let out a faint moan.

“Hey, it’s…ready.”

“…Is that okay?”

Shin changed his position and pressed his part against the bud. Although there was a slight feeling of resistance there, it still entered her.

“Uh-huh…uh-huh…”

Her face scrunched up in pain, but she gritted her teeth and endured, accepting to actually enter.

“…Does it hurt?”

“I… I’ll hold back… you… kiss me.”

As she had hoped, True kissed her lips and as her body moved, her tension eased seemingly and her resistance lessened. True began to really move.

“Uh, ah…it hurts…”

She still had a pained expression. She endured the pain and let out a broken voice. But, Shin was no longer able to slow his movements down, instead, he gradually increased his speed.

“Umm…mmm…ahhhhh, faster, faster!”

Seeming to be nearing the limit, Kei begged at True despite the tears in her eyes. True sped up his waist movements even more.

“Uh…I can’t…!”

“…ah, ah, memory, ah ah ah ah ah!”

Really separate each other’s bodies when you get to the top.

“Ha, ha, ha ah…finished, right…”

She gasped in agony and barely managed to fight the urge to smile at True. A large crimson red spot on the bedspread caught her eye, proof of her loss of virginity.

True stroked her hair wordlessly.

After finishing his business with Kei, True fell into a deep sleep. As he drifted off, there came Sophia’s voice.

“Hard work, Shin.”

“Ahhh…where’s Kei-san?”

“She went back first. The seal was lifted, but it was the day of the awakening that the effect was to be revealed, so there was no immediate effect.”

“Could it be that it will be a long time before I awaken?”

“Well, next time it will be about two days. It’ll give you strength, don’t worry.”

“Can I…go back?”

“Oh, yes.”

“Bye!”

He fell asleep as if someone had helped him get cleaned up. True got dressed and left Sophia’s house. It was already dark and I wondered what time it was.

True had wanted to go home, but, again, headed for Lilith’s house.

“Lilith! I’m sorry.”

“Ah. Why are you apologizing to me?”

“Haven’t been with you in days.”

“It’s okay! I know all about your actions.”

“Huh?”

“But, I’m glad you think so! Come on in.”

The room still felt cold and True sat down on the bed.

“…What do you know?”

“Unsealed the angel, right? Luita told me.”

“…Luita-sensei?”

“It doesn’t matter what I tell you, she’s our companion, you should have realized that, shouldn’t you?”

“Well…I’ve been paying attention. But, why is she?”

“She is necessary. In order for her to secretly help us, my eyes can control her. I can tell what Sophia’s group is doing.”

“But the teacher is an angel.”

“She’s about to fall, and it’s a simple matter to pollute the white!”

“You purposely let me watch it in a place like that?”

“You mean the thing in the restroom? That was: don’t get mad if I tell you! That was meant to be sexually arousing.”

“And then what happened in the park, for the same reason!”

She paused for a moment and replied, “…well. But, it was more than that. The purpose was to entice your horny nature, which is why you did what you did at the church.”

“Surely, that was your plot.”

“Hate me?”

“No, I should be thanking you, it’s a blessing to be with you.”

“That’s nice…”

Lilith and True kissed each other deeply and were about to kiss skin to skin when True suddenly thought of something and asked, “Wait…that girl at the park, what happened to her now?”

“Huh…? Do you like that girl?”

“No, I’m trying to help a friend.”

“That girl is a reincarnated angel. But now it’s our companion, and she’s at Airey’s house.”

“Airey?”

“Yay for the man I saw in the park! He’s my servant, a low-level demon. After bringing him here, I didn’t expect it to come in handy!”

“Oooh, he’s your companion, introduce me next time! And, it’s only when Tomoyo goes home, or back to school!”

“Why? She can’t respond to angels anymore.”

“No. It’s for my friend.”

“Got it. Since you put it that way…”

“Hmm… Lilith…I want to do it with you…”

“More than any love talk, this is something I’m happy about ooh! Shin…”

The two men needed each other again, their bodies intertwined.

“Hello…Lilith…?”

“What?”

Vermilion moonlight streamed in through the small window, illuminating the nakedness of both men. “Are you angry with me?” “Why?”

“I did it with another woman…Angel yah.”

“Haha, I don’t care about such trivialities.”

“But…”

“She arouses your desire, doesn’t she? Then do it! It is the nature of demons to be faithful to their desires, so do as you like! It’s only unnatural to say you’re not a demon and to hold back what you want to do.”

“Is it? But that girl was serious and trusted Sophia’s words very much. I gave in to my desires and defiled her…”

“She wants it that way, too! You don’t have to care.”

“But what am I going to do when Sophia asks me to do the same thing later?”

“Don’t you get it yet? If a girl likes you, do it! It’s okay if it’s not a girl Sophia brought in.”

“It’s a crime!” “Shin, you were born to destroy the world.”

“…Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

True pondered for a moment and said, “But, what would Sophia do to me if she found out I was a demon? It always feels like a mistake, doesn’t it?”

“They aren’t fools, they already knew you were Lucifer ah. I’ve said many times that they want you to return to the Heavenly Realm, so they are now adopting a policy of being gentle. However, after returning to the Heavenly Realm, Lucifer’s hatred won’t be eliminated. It’s useless even if the destroying angels are rained down. They definitely won’t be able to defeat Lucifer who has accumulated power.”

“Wow…”

True had a new question, but didn’t voice it.

(I have an angel and a demon inside of me… whatever becomes of me, at that time, what will happen…?)

It was late at night, and the moon’s red light had faded to a silvery-white glow.

Chapter VII. Resolutions

One afternoon a few days later, True was again called to Sophia’s home. As before, there were two strange women in the room.

“These two are your opponents today, you know what to do, right?”

Luita’s tone was the same as before. I don’t know if she knows that True knows who she really is, or if she’s just acting because she’s in front of Sophia.

“Let me introduce, this is Ms. Kurohime Pile, Ms. Iizuna Miho.”

Pile stared wistfully at Makoto, who wasn’t a hot girl, but faintly oppressive. Miho, on the other hand, has soft eyes, is it because she’s standing next to the long-haired Pile? Her bangs were a few centimeters above her eyebrows, giving her a young look.

“Today and these two?”

“We felt confused and wanted to say no…”

Sophia was about to speak when Pile interjected, “You’re the Savior? That’s a shame. We didn’t come here so we could do it with you.”

“…？”

“Ms. Kurohime?”

“Ms. Luita don’t say anything! I came here because I wanted to simply reject you. I didn’t believe your words at all, but Miho was tricked and I came because I wanted to dissuade her.”

“A… Pile…”

Miho tugged at her shirt, but she continued, “Miho, look closely! Do you believe this stupid boy is the savior? It’s a hoax! Go back.”

“Pile! Stop it! Today, today…I’m really sorry!”

Pile walked out of the room and Miho chased after him.

“Ah…that girl was right, would have trusted me in her first meeting and then had sex with me. It would have been ridiculous!”

Sophia looked at True, who was acting like he didn’t care, and said, “It’s not funny! True, those two are powerful destructive angels even if they descend to earth. There’s absolutely no way to be without them!”

“But there’s no way out now!”

“…I had thought of that. Even though Iizuna-sama trusts me, she said that if Kurohime-sama doesn’t, she shouldn’t do it. It seems that the two of them have a good relationship.”

“If there’s no other way, should I rape them?”

“Time is too tight, and that’s all there is to it. But we are of the Celestial Realm and will not be so demanding. In fact, Zhen already has the ability to get them to recognize us. I can’t convince them in any way, so it’s up to you!”

“Huh? It’s impossible for me to convince them, right?”

“It can be. You have to believe in yourself. Luckily Ms. Iizuna is somewhat convinced that you can get to them before she changes her mind?”

“Now, now?”

“Now if I can go.”

True looked at the silent Luita and she nodded at him. True knew she didn’t want Sophia to find out, so he replied briskly, “Got it, I’ll get to them as soon as I can!”

As True walked out, he heard Sophia close the door.

(I’m going to look for them…but, where should I look for them? I don’t know them, so I guess there’s someone else at school.)

“Miho…”

“Uh, Pile…”

At this time, Miho and Pile are in a hotel. They won’t be found here.

The two were in bed and enjoyed each other’s bodies. That’s what Sophia was referring to when she said that the two were ‘very affectionate’.

“Miho? What’s wrong with you? Kind of weird yeah, no interest?” Pile said this to Miho as his lips left, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

“…Is, still thinking about that man?”

“I’m sorry, I…”

“Miho, you already have me!”

“But, if I don’t offer my body, the world will end, right?”

“That’s what Ms. Luita and the others said. You won’t know until that day, will you?”

“But, I don’t think she’s lying…”

“…Maybe. But, even if it’s true, I don’t want it! Giving Miho up to someone else…it’s a joke!” Pile suddenly yelled at Miho, then threw his arms around the startled woman and screamed, “Miho is mine alone…mine alone!”

“Pile…”

Pile buried his head in Miho’s chest and kept kissing, saying, “What I want most is just this! What the world will become has nothing to do with me! As long as I have Miho…”

“…My thoughts are the same as yours ah…but, if the world is destroyed, I won’t be able to have you ah…”

“…Stop it! I love you too much to give you up to anyone! I love you!”

Miho held her silently, her warm breath reaching her chest.

“Haaah, haaah… stop saying that! I’m going to give you pleasure and I love you! Miho…Miho!”

Stake kissed Miho’s lips fiercely, their saliva mixing and running down their necks. After the long kiss, Stake pressed his lips against Miho’s garden, and Miho pressed her tongue against hers.

“Mmm, mmm… Miho, it feels so good…”

Stake’s fingers plunged into Miho, whose body bent into a soft arch.

“Miho…any pleasure…?”

“Uh, uh…aaaaahhhh!”

“Do what you normally do…okay?”

Pile urged her on, and Miho went down on top of Pile, who was lying on his back, their legs interlocked and their privates juxtaposed.

“Pile’s there, it’s so hot…”

“…Miho, you too…”

The two began to move their hips, their flesh meeting and making obscene noises. The two men’s bodies moved more intensely, Miho’s sweat dripping onto Pile’s body in drops.

“Ha… ahhhhh… uhh..! Miho, Miho…I love you…”

“Ahhhh, me, me too…ah, a pile…going to go! Ah, uhhhh…!”

“Miho! Ah, ah ah ah…!”

The two reached the top and enjoyed the afterglow in their original positions.

“…I hope, it can go on like this forever…”

“Uh…”

It was dusk by now, and Makoto came to the school in search of Pile and Miho. When he asked the other students about their whereabouts, no one knew.

“There’s no one in…ah!”

There was a familiar figure when he looked into his classroom.

“…Shin? Didn’t you go back already?”

“Mari, you…”

“I want to watch the sunset, so I’m going to be a little late getting back.” Asari stood by the window and replied without spirit.

“Don’t pretend! It’s not like you!”

“Yeah…I don’t look like I’ll be watching the sunset. Zhen, did you forget something?”

“Ah, I’m looking for someone, a girl from another class, you wouldn’t know. It’s dark now, go home!”

When he was actually about to leave the classroom, he was stopped by Asari.

“…Shin, what’s wrong with you? It’s not the same as before!”

Asari said, she hugged Shin from behind. Shin felt her soft body through her uniform. It was something he had never realized before, her female body.

“Hey…Zhen, you’ve been acting strange lately! You don’t come to school, you don’t go home. What the hell are you doing…”

“No, it’s nothing…I’m just skipping class!”

“Don’t lie! If it was before, you would have said ‘Let’s find it together!’ . And, would have fought with me. Now it’s all ignoring me…”

“No, it’s just…”

“Just what? That you rely on someone more? Is she more worthy of your trust? Do you just need her and ignore me!?” Asari raised her voice, questioning Shin.

“What, what’s going on? Asari, who do you mean by ‘someone’?”

“Do you want me to say her name?” She growled as she pounded on her real back.

“Zhen, Zhen…! Speak clearly!!!”

True didn’t speak back as he let go of her arms around himself, silently kissed her cheek and left the classroom.

“You’re the one pretending! You don’t realize you’ve changed…”

Asari wiped her tears with a handkerchief and lay on the floor crying. It was thirty minutes later when she stood up again and set off for home.

That day, Shin didn’t find Pile and Miho. He went back to Lilith’s house and reported the incident to her. But, Lilith didn’t look concerned.

“Lilith? I’m talking about your enemy yeah!”

“Ah, you’re angry? I’m sorry. But, they’re not exactly enemies. You’re here, and roughly speaking Louita will report to me. There’s nothing for them to suspect. Angels are so not free!”

“Maybe…but having sex with me who awakened because of the angels would turn me into their enemy? Then why don’t they stop?”

“There’s no reason to stop, is there? Zen, who knows she’s an angel and a demon, can’t fully unseal herself yet. So even if the angel awakens, nothing will happen. While I wanted you to return to your true nature, Sophia provided an excellent stage. Pure young girls hold on to their resolve and offer their flesh. Isn’t it a great pleasure to covet their bodies when you know you will betray them later?”

True couldn’t deny her words and was surprised at his own behavior.

“Never mind! It’s nothing in the magic world. It’s better to get used to that before recovering Lucifer’s memories. Use what you can as much as you can.”

Lilith said so as she hugged True, but True didn’t answer.

In the past few days, True has continued to have sex with the girls Sophia brought with her though. But, not yet Pile and Miho. The two didn’t go to school or have contact with Sophia and the others.

One day, True walked towards the direction of the top floor, skipping class as usual. But as soon as he got to the stairs, he saw the sound of someone arguing coming from the other side of the door.

“Let go of me! I said I hate men ah!!!”

“Airey, forget it! Don’t be like that.”

On the top floor are the three men, Airey, Luita & Pile. Airey grabs Pile by the collar of her shirt and pushes her against the railing of the penthouse.

“What are you, what are you doing?”

“Ah, it’s the Savior! What brings you here?” Airey asked in a sarcastic tone.

“I heard Luita was in trouble and I wanted to help her. Because she can’t if she’s suspected again!”

“You know each other? Hurry up and save me! This guy came to me and I refused…”

“I’m just trying to make us partners!”

“I told you I don’t believe in Mosiah! Since you are angels, you should not act rough! The same goes for Ms. Luita!”

By the looks of things, it seems that Airey was able to get to her by pretending to be an angel. He wanted Pile to become their companion, just like Luita.

Luita said anxiously, “Let’s go down! I’m an angel!”

“What are you talking about? An awakening of the consciousness of crime?” Airey said provocatively.

“Airey! Let go of the girl!!!”

Luita rushed forward, the railing could not support their weight, and the three fell.

“Uhhhhhhhh!!!”

There was a scream, then the sound of flapping wings. True panicked and looked down as the three fell into a pile.

“Quickly, quickly go down and look!”

True rushed down the stairs in one breath. It was the middle of class and no one had noticed anything had happened. When he came downstairs, he saw a large bloodstain on the concrete floor.

Airey’s head was twisted and appeared to be lifeless. Pile didn’t make a sound, and Luita managed to call out, “Zhen…”

“Why! It’s fine if you use your wings!”

“I did…but Airey got in the way…the guy can’t use his wings…A, how’s Pile doing…?” Louita gasped slightly as she wrapped her arms around Pile.

“Still alive! I’ll get someone!”

“A… Shin… can I… recover… into an angel…?”

“Stop talking! I’ll be right back, wait for me!”

“True…you too…it’s…it’s not too late…” said Luita brokenly, but there was no longer anyone to hear. Makoto had run towards the health room.

By the time Shin brought Yukie in, Luita was already out of breath. Fortunately, Pile’s life was saved. At the hospital, Makoto hears that she only suffered a blow to the head and that it will take a while for her to regain consciousness. When the police investigated, Makoto was also not suspected. However, he was on his way home with heavy steps.

That night, True lingered with Lilith as usual. But when he was done, he still couldn’t feel at peace and gazed at the ceiling.

“Zhen? Can’t sleep?”

“Uh…”

“Not having fun today?”

“Not really! I was just wondering, how are the Luita girls doing?”

“They’re dead! You saw it.”

“Can angels or demons, too, die?”

“Death has a different connotation. When you lose your physical body here for a time, it won’t be so easy to come back. That’s why Zen is equal to Lucifer and needs this physical body now!”

“So it is.”

Really thinking for a moment, he suddenly looked Lilith squarely in the eye and said seriously, “Lilith, there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you.”

“What’s wrong? What a horrible face?”

“I’m serious, it’s important to me.”

“…What is it?” Lilith ruffled her front hair that was draped over her face and stared at True.

“I’m going to become Lucifer soon, right? What will happen to my body then, anyway?”

“That happened in a flash. Why don’t I just tell you now so that you can mentally prepare yourself. Your body will physically change first, and from the shadow of the eclipse that happened that day, the Luciferian power that was accumulated in the demon world will be fu sent to your body, and you will suck in the living tissue around you and merge it with you to form a Luciferian body! At first, you will only absorb microorganisms or insects, then you will absorb large organisms, and in the end, you should be able to form extremely gigantic creatures, right?”

“Huh…no, that’s not what I want to know!”

“I know, that’s what you wanted to know!”

“You’re bluffing, aren’t you?”

“I will tell you carefully.” Lilith paused for a moment and continued, “Slightly later than the change in the physical body, Lucifer’s memories will awaken with it. That is, the memories that were sealed within you. But, because the information is extremely large, the memories of several thousand years of events, but you only have a dozen years of life, so screw it, you won’t be able to withstand it… and then, Lucifer will fully awaken.”

“So, now that I’m…”

“Screw it, you might not get killed.”

“Well, well, well…that, isn’t the same as being dead!!!” True yelled as he tore at the quilt. He lay on his back on the sheets, feathers flying all over the quilt.

Not an unforeseen answer, but the worst possible situation. It was too much of a shock for real. The pure white feathers that drifted through the air covered the silent two.

“Zhen…”

“Ha, ha, ha… sure enough I’m nothing! Just a tool! It’s only natural that my mother and the others would hate me! Being born for such a small reason. A person like me…”

“Calm down! Zhen.”

“You’re doing the same thing! Just using me to bring back demons!!!”

“Wait! Listen to me!”

“Now what other reason is there?”

“Please!” Lilith gripped Really’s shoulders as hard as she could to stop him from snapping.

“You’re right, my intention was to bring Lucifer back to life. But there was also consideration for you before I acted!”

“You want to take me away from Sophia and the girls?”

“Unlike them, think about what would happen if you did what they said.”

“I will awaken into an angel and return to the heavenly realm.”

“Perhaps. But as soon as Lucifer’s memories awaken, the result will be the same. Anyway, your consciousness will all be gone.”

“…It’s better to be an angel if the result is the same!”

“No, it’s not the same! I have reasons…”

“What’s the reason…”

“I tried to make you simultaneously keep your own consciousness and become Lucifer again. I’ve said it many times yah─’let your mind be like the devil’.”

“Make my heart like a demon?” True asked in surprise, his voice calming.

“It will have to be this way. Zhen, you maintain your present consciousness to meet that day. Reduce the burden of phasing to allow the spirit to merge.”

“… ”

“You don’t believe it?”

“…What should I do if I believe you?”

“As now, stay true to your desires.”

“It’s easy for you to say, but it’s hard yah! Especially for me.”

“I will not force you. To stay with me, to listen to Sophia, or not to listen to either side until that day. It’s all up to you, and I won’t restrict your movements.”

“Give me some time to think about it.” Unlike the excitement of a moment ago, True said feebly.

“…Okay. But, there’s not much time, only two weeks left.”

“Got it, just for one night.”

“You’re going home today, right? It’s better to be alone.”

“No. Let me stay here. This is already my home, and I can’t calm down until I’m here.”

“Then rest here! I won’t be mad if you’re not there when I wake up.” Lilith said and turned her back.

“Ah…I have something else to ask you.”

“What?”

“Why are you doing this to me? It’s not like I’m Lucifer.”

“It’s probably because both you and I are of the same kind that was given up by God. Also, I was created as a human mother, more or less maternal, right? Maybe that’s so…I’m sorry, I don’t understand either. Being here for a long time has changed my feelings. I just hate humans and want to destroy all of Adam’s sons! Forget these words that don’t make sense!”

“I know. Good night.”

True lay beside Lilith, constantly pondering her words, and Sophia’s attitude, the dead Luita, and the events that had happened so far, all swirling around in his head.

(If I had trusted Sophia back then, maybe we wouldn’t be here today…)

True thought to himself. But, whatever assumptions were made, they were not helpful right now. True thought about this for the first time. Before this, there was nothing that moved or concerned him.

Lilith’s body heat was heard beside her. Her sniffles were heard, but I wondered if she was asleep.

This woman, Lilith, needed herself right now…it was the only thing that made him feel real right now. Though perhaps this would get in the way of thinking, but, it was what he needed right now.

(Necessity…needing each other, and needing each other’s words…is that okay?)

In the end, really the conclusion was the same result as blindly trusting Lilith. Originally, he wanted to change his determination, but, it would drastically change his principle of action.

(The door that suppresses my desires, is going to be opened, and on that day…)

But can human beings, who have been made subject to the concept of compulsion, really know their own desires? What is certain is that from the next day onward, the true will be completely changed…

Chapter 8: The Great Change

About a week after Ms. Luita’s death, the school is on winter break starting tomorrow, and the teacher on stage talks about the next semester, but it’s just very empty for True.

“Anyway, everyone will die! All will be…killed by me!”

The teacher left and the last class ended. The students were chatting about winter break, how they were going to spend Christmas, and other unimportant things. Really seeing them only made me feel sad, but, without sympathy.

“Hey, Shin, what are we going to do for Christmas Eve?” Shinichi opened his mouth to call him.

“Haven’t decided yet!”

“So how about spending this year with Standing Plate?”

“Mari, she’s now…”

Makoto glanced over. But Asari seemed to have gone back and there was no sign of her.

“What’s wrong with that guy? How about a party at your house? My god-sister said she’d like to thank you for finding the Togari girl!”

“Oh…” True responded, remembering something.

“Shinichi, do you really like your god-sister?”

“Saying such things again! Stop it, it’s nothing to do with you, is it?”

“Forget it! Hey, I’ll throw the party. I’ll get you a present.”

“Huh? That’s rare! It’s kind of weird!”

“Shinichi, you’re my friend, right? I’ve always wanted to give you a gift, so take it too! Now it’s final!”

“Don’t say strange things! What last?”

“I mean: the last yah of the century!”

“Idiot! The twenty-first century started in 2001, there’s still one year left!”

“Yes?”

“Never mind, should I tell my god-sister?”

“Well, since I’m the organizer, it’s okay if you don’t tell her.”

“Got it, and call Standing Plate Oooh!”

“Yeah! She helps me a lot anyway.”

“Good! Then I look forward to it!” Shinichi said and left the classroom.

“Today…go to the hospital!”

Sophia says that Pile regained consciousness three days ago and wants True to visit her. True has already slept with Pile’s lover, Miho, and the last angel to be slept with is left to Pile.

True knocked on the door of the hospital room and opened it without waiting for an answer.

“Who…? Is it, is it you?”

“How’s your body?”

“Not quite mobile yet.”

This is a single room with only one patient, Pile. She had been admitted to the hospital for some time and her face looked much rosier. Her cast had been removed, but she still had a bandage on her head. Zen sat down on the chair next to the bed and placed the fruit she had brought on the table next to the bed.

“Well, I came to see you.”

“Thanks. But, that’s not the only purpose, is it? I heard from Miho.”

“So quick to say! Are you jealous of me?”

“A little, but, well, it can’t be helped!”

“Ugh!”

“Never mind, it’s my turn this time, right? Hurry up and do it!”

“Huh?”

While this was the purpose of True’s trip, he didn’t expect Pile to initiate it.

“It’s okay, I took the IV off.”

Bandages could be seen wrapped around various parts of the patient’s body from the pajamas she wore. Although this gesture excited True, he asked, “Why? Don’t you hate men?”

“It’s not just you, I hate just about any man! But Miho said ‘I can do it, and so can you. If you don’t, everyone will die!’ She said that with tears in her eyes.”

“Is that the only reason?”

“And about Ms. Luita! She died trying to save me. But make no mistake! I still don’t believe her words, but I can’t help it. It wasn’t for you or for the world, it was for Louita and Miho! If Miho hadn’t said ‘If you don’t turn into Mosiah, everyone will die.’ I’d be dead if I didn’t do it!!!”

“…Stop saying that!”

I really didn’t want to hear the defense of the stake, I just wanted to enjoy myself on her wounded body. He walked over to her, put on a caring expression, and undressed her.

“Try to be gentle, I’m a wounded man and…”

“What else?”

“My first time with a man…”

“Well, I’m not that used to it either. I’m used to each other!”

When the shirt was lifted, the injured body was on display. From the neck to the shoulders and under the ribs, several loops of bandage were wrapped around the chest, which was not covered. The left thigh and right upper arm were treated the same way. Several large OK bandages and gauze were applied to other small wounds. Can’t seem to make love without problems.

“I’m sorry, that doesn’t excite you, does it? But, there’s no more time.”

She looked away sheepishly as True cupped her chin and tried to kiss her.

“…It’s okay to kiss, right?”

“That’s…I didn’t realize you were so old-fashioned.”

“…I’m sorry.”

“That’s okay.”

Shin started caressing her body. But, the way it hurt no matter where it was touched, she didn’t seem ready.

“Uh…”

Really had no choice but to just lick her bud.

“Ah…how did this…”

She reacted slightly, so True continued his movements. It was slowly getting wet there. The liquid from the secret place, mixed with True’s saliva, and she let out a gasp.

“Uh…ah…”

“Is that okay?”

“Mmm…let me on top…”

“Yeah.”

True lay on her back, letting Pile sit on top of her. Pile timidly pressed her erect member against her body, stopping when the apex entered slightly.

“What’s wrong?”

“I-It’s my first time…it hurts a little…”

Anxious True finally flexed his muscles. He grabbed her waist and in one breath he rammed it from below. Penetrating the hard interior, he took away the pile’s virginity.

“Ahhhhh! Well, it hurts, it hurts!”

“Stop it!” He grabbed the struggling pile and started swinging his hips.

“Ah, ah, ah ah! Wow, uhm…!”

True ignored her cries of grief and continued the pistoning action. Both hands grabbed her hips and rocked her body up and down. Each time she moved, she let out a whimper and blood flowed from her lower body, staining True’s waist.

“Awww, awww…”

With one hand, Makoto pulled off the bandage from her chest, the wound hadn’t healed yet, but he rubbed her breasts so hard that blood oozed from the wound as a result. But as the sharp pain assaulted the pile, her secret part contracted tighter.

“Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, ahhhhh!”

As Pile passed out from the pain, True vented his desire inside her.

“Well…I’m really sorry about today!”

He left the hospital room after releasing the immobile Tsubaki.

Chapter 9: Lost in Translation

The streets covered with brightly colored Christmas decorations are filled with Christmas songs. It’s December 24, 1999 A.D., and it’s dusk.

“Why have a party at a transfer student’s house?”

Shinichi was riding his bike to the party at Lilith’s house, and he was already twenty minutes late. He was already twenty minutes late. Although he was used to the undulating terrain, he still found it hard to ride.

“Will God-sister be there…”

He had wanted to take Yukie’s car to get there, but he hadn’t seen her since he got up early in the morning.

“Jin will contact her, right? I should have told her yesterday.”

Finally arriving in front of Lilith’s house, he was here for the first time.

“Huh? Is the doorbell broken? Hello! I’m coming!”

Knock knock! As Shinichi knocked on the door, Lilith poked her face out, wearing her uniform.

“Welcome, Shin is waiting for you!”

“Sorry I’m late. Excuse me!”

Once inside, he saw True, who was lying on the bed, sitting up.

“You’re late!”

“I’m sorry, but why is your place so cold? What a party! Not even any Christmas decorations.”

As Shinichi had said, Lilith’s home, still had nothing in it. Lilith closed the door and said, “I’m not celebrating Jesus’ birthday!”

“Shinichi, today isn’t a Christmas party, it’s a farewell party!”

The atmosphere was a bit strange, but Shinichi said in his usual tone, “Huh? Strange words again! Didn’t you look for my god-sister?”

“Of course notified.”

At that moment, the door in one corner of the room opened and a hospital bed on wheels was pushed in. Pushing the hospital bed was Tomoyo, who had a red ribbon wrapped around her body, and her expression was cold.

But what surprised Shinichi even more was not the half-naked Tomoyo, but the person on the bed…that person lying on the bed was─Yukie!

“Gan-san! What’s wrong with you?”

“Haa, haa…Shin, Shinichi…?”

Yukie seemed to want to speak, but, she had absolutely no strength left to make a sound, and was still being held in the hospital bed by the restraints.

“What’s going on here…Zhen!?”

“It’s a gift for you, don’t you like it?”

“What kind of strange words are you saying? Quickly release my god-sister!”

“This is a special gift for you, take it!”

“Shin, what are you doing? Have you gone crazy!?”

“No! Hey, come on, savor your god-sister!”

“What did you say? God-sister, I’ve come to save you…are you alright…?”

“Shinichi what are you doing? Don’t you like her?”

“Idiot! I can’t do this kind of thing!”

“Really straight…Tomoyo, help!” Shin said, giving a wink, and Tomoyo grabbed Shinichi. For some reason, being grabbed like that, Shinichi became weak all over.

“Uh…what, what’s going on?”

Lilith stepped over the fallen Shinichi and came to Shin’s side, saying, “The power that Airey has survived would come into play in something like this…”

“Yeah.”

“Shin, you…!” Shinichi glared hard at True.

“Don’t look like that! I just want you to do what you want. Don’t you like your god-sister too? Tomorrow is the end of the world, so I want to fulfill your wish before then. Because I’m your friend!”

“Idiot! Is this what friends are supposed to do?”

“Your friend doesn’t seem to want it, huh?” Lilith hugged Shinichi and said so.

“He’s just not following his desires la! Like the old me… so Tomoyo, please!”

Tomoyo nodded, pulling down Shinichi’s pants and refining them, placing his mouth against his alter ego as it swelled.

“Zhen, what are you, what are you doing? Stop it!”

“Shinichi, accept it! You’ll thank me when it’s over!”

Tomoyo gently picked up the groaning Shinichi and placed him on top of Yukie. It was amazing that the skinny one had so much strength, now she was no ordinary person.

“Have fun with your favorite god-sister!”

“Can’t! You can’t do this…Shin! Please, stop it!”

“Why not?”

“I can’t defile my god-sister! And, not in front of you…you know?”

“Do you care about me? Actually, I’ve seen too much, it’s okay!”

“It’s not! Zhen, don’t look!”

Tomoyo placed Shinichi’s split, against Yukie’s secret place, guiding it in. The moist secret place sucked Shinichi’s part into it.

“Ahhhh… fuck, fuck sister, I’m sorry…”

“Is it Shinichi?”

Yukie opened her eyes, but they were devoid of vigor. Saliva came out of her mouth and she uttered amazing words, “It’s Shinichi… I’m happy if it’s Shinichi doing it with me…”

“God-sister!?”

“I’ve wanted to do it for a long time! If it’s Shinichi and I doing it…you’re a good fuckboy…I like you.”

“Gan-san! Pull yourself together!!!”

“It’s okay, move! Penetrate me hard…”

Tomoyo pressed down on Shinichi’s waist and began to move. Chirping and chirping sounds echoed in the room.

“Ah…ah! Shinichi, it’s so hot, your…it’s so good…mmm, mmm, mmmmm!”

“God-sister, don’t be like this, don’t…”

Although Shinichi said that with his mouth, his body went against his own words. He squirmed inside Yukie with even more pleasure.

“Ahhhh…uh, uhhhh…as long as you’re comfortable, ahhhhh…uhhhh, ahhhhh…”

“…God-sister…”

Shinichi hung his head in despair and looked in True’s direction with tears in his eyes. Shin set Lilith aside and smiled in satisfaction. Shinichi’s eyes were filled with anger, but True didn’t care and said lightly, “What? It shouldn’t be my fault that it would turn out like this, right? It was your god-sister who said so, so enjoy it!”

“Shin, I can’t forgive you! You are the devil! I curse you even in death!!!”

True stopped arguing in the face of his best friend’s curses.

“Enjoy yourself! I have things to do, so I’ll trouble you later, Lilith.”

“Zhen, take care!”

“Well, you bear with me.”

“I’m used to waiting and won’t care. Tomorrow will be just in time.”

“…Got it.”

Shinichi still continued to curse, but Shin left the room without paying any attention.

“…Long time no see!”

“What’s the matter with you? Looking for me in such a hurry?”

Mari waits at True’s house. It had been a long time since Shin had returned.

“Shinichi said he invited you for Christmas!”

“So, Mikami’s here too?”

“No. He’s enjoying himself. And…I’m spending the day with you.”

“Two people…? Shin, do you have a purpose for doing this?”

“I don’t intend to sweet-talk you into…”

“Whoa!”

Shin suddenly pressed Asari down and kissed her forcefully. Although Asari resisted, but, her body lost its strength. Shortly after, True’s lips left.

“What’s wrong? …Zhen, why did you stop? Aren’t you going to do it with me?”

It’s hard to know how to answer an unexpected question.

“…Yeah!”

But, he remained on top of Asari and didn’t move, he hesitated because his intentions were discovered.

“Makoto, you’ve really changed…is it because of Ms. Lilith?”

“True. But that’s the kind of person I was meant to be. I’ve been this way since before…and I, now, want to escape that fate.”

“I don’t understand…why are you like this? Tell me! Don’t run away!”

“Good! I’ll tell you. The human race… is about to die out!”

Makoto told Asari all of it. She listened in silence, and when Shin was almost finished, she said quietly, “But why attack me?”

“Like I said, I’ve been like this since before…and since you’re going to die too, I’m going to let you know that before that happens.”

“That point…? That is, the fact that you like me?”

“Nah! I’m just going to do what I want to do!”

“I’ve always liked you, you…”

After finishing her sentence, Asari shed tears and began to whimper. Shin was confused by her sudden confession, but he wanted to get rid of this inexplicable feeling that was born from within, so he strengthened his tone and said, “Damn it! Don’t cry!” Saying that, Shin ripped off Asari’s blouse.

“Ah!”

Seeing Asari’s breasts jiggle from the bottom, Shin rubbed them hard and nibbled on the buds on her chest, but Asari was almost completely unresponsive.

“Buber, look, the nipples are hard!”

“…I’m not afraid, I like you. You’re you no matter what.”

True ripped off the panties and continued. She was completely silent although she gradually responded. True’s hand reached for her garden, which was already moist. But no matter how much True attacked, Asari didn’t move, which didn’t stop True from feeling that the atmosphere was weird.

(I wonder what Asari is thinking…it’s not like she hates it or is happy about it. No, there was something like that before. But strangely, why do I want to know what Asari is thinking?)

In order to get rid of the renewed surge of consciousness, he really wanted to penetrate at this point. So he adjusted his position and prepared to enter.

“…Please, just say ‘I like you’ once. Hearing that is like a dream.” Asari, who had been silent, finally opened her mouth to plead.

Shin stopped gazing at her and said, “I like you, Mari…”

True murmured. But as the words came out, marvelous thoughts welled up in his mind.

(Like? Asari…? I just thought that I must meet with Asari at the end. But why would I care about her reaction…?)

He continued to speak, but the words gradually blended with emotion, “I’ve always liked you, Mari. I love you!”

This time it wasn’t false, it was words full of emotion. Makoto was content with that.

“Makoto…I like you too.” Seeing the subtle change in True’s expression, Mari reached out and encircled him.

“Great…I can finally stop hiding…Shin, I love you…”

Mari kisses True, holds him tightly, and lets True enter her.

“Ah… Shin…”

Asari made a sound, the sound of joy that True craved from Asari. His lower body strengthened.

“Ahhh, like you! Shin…mmmm!”

“Uh, me too.”

“Aaaah, aaaah…uh, haaaah, Shin!”

“Mari…!!!”

With an unprecedented feeling of bliss, True reached an orgasm. For the first time in half a month, he, who had tasted many women, felt a sense of fulfillment.

After that, the two did it a few more times before falling asleep together.

It was morning when Shin woke up, and when he turned his head, he saw Asari lying next to him.

“Good morning, Zhen!”

“Uh…”

The two kissed each other.

“Mari, you said you like me, right? Treat me as the most important person…okay?”

“Well, no matter what the world becomes, I will always love you. Even if you’ll become someone else’s…”

“No, for me, Asari is the most important thing. That’s not a lie.”

This was the true real mood, he finally knew what he was clinging to inside. This emotion was completely different from the one he felt for Lilith.

“And then, you will become…a demon that destroys humanity.”

“…! Wait, what time is it?”

December 25, 1999. Really totally forgot what day it was.

“It’s almost eleven!”

“It’s going to be an eclipse soon! Mari, get out of here quickly!”

“It’s okay, I’m going to take care of you. Let me stay some more!”

“No way! I definitely don’t want to kill you, no matter what, I have to protect you!”

“Ah! Jin!”

“Mari, I love you! Forever! It won’t change!”

True left those words and ran out of the room.

Chapter 10 – God of Destruction

When Makoto walks through the streets filled with Christmas decorations and reaches the park at Watanuki Bridge, he sees Lilith. She says that it’s easier to absorb power here than indoors, so she chose this place for the awakening.

“You’re late! Hurry up here, I’ve already drawn the formation.”

“I…I…uhhhh!” While really trying to talk to Lilith, the eclipse started. The part that covered the body into a shadow gradually entered the real body. It was dark power enough to destroy the world.

“Uh, coo-coo…Lilith…”

“Can’t say no! You’ll lose yourself!”

The real body began to swell and distort. The darkness of the eclipse covered the ground. By the time the eclipse was finished, the awakening was complete.

“It’s finally done…”

With a loud crash, the Watanuki Bridge collapsed. The island of the park was submerged in water, and in its place was a huge figure crouching on the ground. The wings on his back reached up to the sky. The body that stood up had the horns of a goat and a forked tail. This dark giant with bat wings was Lucifer the Devil.

The giants continued to expand and began a campaign of destruction. Humanity’s technological civilization and cities were all destroyed. Only rubble and mountains of corpses remained. The armies of the nations were so frightened that they lost the strength to launch nuclear weapons. The people had no choice but to run for their lives.

The angels with glowing wings descended one by one before Lucifer. And the destroying angels whose seals were lifted by Shinsho also descended one by one.

Lilith sat on Lucifer’s shoulder and looked into his huge eyes.

“It’s so annoying! This is useless ah! Let them be destroyed!”

The girls, who had been the only hope, were at this point in almost exactly the same posture as when they were human. And they had no power. Lucifer crushed the angels with one hand, and the broken flesh and blood became part of his organization, which he absorbed.

The ground had been completely dominated by Lucifer. The eclipse, which should have disappeared immediately, lasted three days and three nights. During this time, the world continued to burn with hellfire, and almost all life became extinct. It was the second longest night for mankind. Lucifer finally melted the ice on the Antarctic continent and the water level rose dramatically, flooding most of the land. The horizon, previously invisible, is now visible everywhere.

An angel descended and stood in the vast barren landscape, it was Sophia. She looked around a little, wore a sad expression, and wordlessly flew back to heaven.

In fact, not all of humanity is actually extinct. Only a few humans remained in the world that had become scorched earth. Among them were Shinichi and Asari. Because of its proximity to the place of Lucifer’s resurrection, the damage suffered was rather minimal. However, that night, Yukie died of a nervous breakdown, and Tomoyo’s whereabouts are unknown.

Asari relates to Shinichi what happened to Shin in the end. And he was devastated to learn what happened to Shin. It was a bigger blow than the loss of many friends. But Shinichi didn’t hate Shin now. At least, Shin had spared Asari’s life, as he had promised. In addition, he also gave her a gift – she was pregnant with Shin’s child.

“I’m sorry, Mikami…”

“There’s no use in apologizing, he did more vicious things to my god-sister than kill her when he wasn’t a demon. Honestly, I harbor a grudge against you who protected him so much.”

“So, sorry…”

“Forget it. It was hard to survive, what should matter is what to do now. You need to be prepared if you’re going to have the baby.”

Asari and Shinichi said goodbye. When the two of them said this, it was about three months after Lucifer’s awakening. The earth was beginning to recover slightly. However, even though it was a recovery, there was actually nothing left on the land. The climate had also begun to change on a large scale, and under such influences, there was still a possibility that humanity would die out.

“Zhen…”

Asari looked at the sky with tears in her eyes as the lightless night grew deeper.

“What the hell is going on now…”

“That human girl – Tsuneo Mari? Can’t you forget her?”

Lucifer left his flesh on the ground and returned to the demon realm with Lilith.

“Don’t worry! That girl is pregnant with your child, that’s why she was allowed to survive, it’s to spread our power on the ground ah! What kind of child will she give birth to? It’s really something to look forward to!”

“You can’t be negligent in your guarding! My memories haven’t been completely transferred yet, and there’s still some of my power left in that body, so it’d be bad if those guys in the Heavenly Realm took advantage of it!”

“It’s okay to kill him if there’s danger, right?”

“Of course!”

“I don’t need to ask to know that he’s not the same Zhen he used to be.”

“Um…Lilith, I’m so tired, I want to sleep.”

“You can’t sleep for thousands of years!”

“I know, it won’t make you lonely anymore.”

“I love you, sleep well…”

Lilith tenderly hugged Lucifer with a satisfied smile. It was a smile that had truly come from the heart for thousands of years.
