"My apologies archbishop Desmond, but it wasn't the devils who killed them. It was the former hero, Tsukiko Kage, sir."
"The former hero killed him? I've to tell the pope this right now!"
He left and went to the main branch of the church. While entering he saw the pope with the archangel Uriel talking to each other.
"My god is that archangel Uriel? Pope John, can I speak with you? It's an important message." Desmond cowardly muttered
After gazing at Archangel Uriel, Archbishop Desmond fell to his knees and bowed.
"If you want to speak with me, do it here." He replied.
"B-b-b-b-but I don't have the right to speak to you in front of Archangel Uriel."
Archangel Uriel then turned and went over to Archbishop Desmond, holding his cheek upwards.
"Tell me, my father's child, is the information that you want to give Pope John truthful?" He asked.
"Yes, Archangel Uriel."
His book out the book of truth and looked into it.
"I see. So the information that you wanted to tell Pope John is that William and some of the church's crusaders had fallen by the former hero Tsukiko Kage and Belphegor. Is that right?"
Pope John fell to his knees, crying his eyes out after hearing what happened to William.
Archbishop Desmond looked in disbelief after Archangel Uriel uttered the same words he would've told Pope John.
"Archangel Uriel, how do you know that was about to tell Pope John if I may ask?"
"My father's child, every truth that's will be told or has been told us in my book of truth."
"Now, that the information has reached Pope John, I would appreciate it if you leave so that we can grieve in privacy."
"As you wish, Archangel Uriel."
Archbishop Desmond got up, exited the church, and went back to the church branch where he lived.
"Ugh, he's gone now so you can stop acting, John," Uriel uttered.
"My bad, Uriel. You know from once I started acting, it's hard for me to stop."
Those goddamn fakers!
"So Michael was right, he actually went over to the side that he condemned but also protected so long ago."
Archangel Uriel and Pope John continued to talk until it was time for Archangel Uriel to go back to heaven.
Meanwhile, I was about to finish taking a bath, Asmodeus waltzed into the onsen.
"Hey Tsukiko, may I come in? I have something I want to ask you?" Asmodeus muttered.
If this were me a couple of days ago, I wouldn't have listened to her until I got tired of her nagging me, but I didn't know why, so I told her, "Ok, ask ahead.".
"Earlier, why did you come to save me?" She asked.
"To be honest, I didn't know why I did it. But after I saw you lying down on the floor covered in your own blood, the only thought that popped up in my head was to protect you." I chuckled.
Asmodeus' face blushed as red as a tomato because it was the first time she had ever heard me say such kind things towards her.
"Do you really mean what you just said?" She asked flusteredly.
I touched her on her cheeks and gazed into her eyes.
"Absolutely..... Not. I only saved you because you're such a weakling." I laughed hysterically.
Even now I still laugh after saying that.
"You fucking jerk! Why did I believe that you saved me because you actually.... Grrr I hate you, Tsukiko!"
Asmodeus got angry, then swung a punch at my hand but I blocked it and continued to laugh.
"Asmodeus, cheer up, you're lucky that I actually saved you. If I didn't, Kira would've definitely killed you." I chuckled.
"Screw you, I'm out of here. I know I shouldn't have asked you that." She cried while exiting the onsen.
After Asmodeus left, I felt the same pain in my chest after seeing her cry.
The next day, while we were getting ready to start training, Asmodeus suddenly came to train too.
"Oh, look who it is, Asmodeus, what are you doing here? I thought you said you wouldn't come back to train with us."
Asmodeus grabbed me by my shirt and started yelling at me.
"The only reason why I'm continuing training under you is because I'm your boss and you're my apprentice. Just you wait, when I get stronger I'm going to beat you up for what you did yesterday!"
Yeah, sure, whatever you say, boss.
I chuckled, "Even if you gain more power, you can never beat me." I laughed.
She smirked, "We will see about that."
Everyone was standing there confused because they didn't really know what was going on.
"Were the two of them flirting with each other?" They wondered.
Three days had passed and while we were eating in the dining room, one of our troop members burst through the door.
"Lord Satan, while we were patrolling the borderline, a dragonoid attacked us."
A dragonoid is a hybrid of a dragon and a human or any other creature.
"A dragonoid you say? Dragonoid or dragon don't normally attack because they are a neutral species, so why would they attack our troops?"
Dragon/dragonoid is the most peaceful/neutral species around. They don't really care about fighting or war, unless someone attacks them first. The only thing they care about is money and sex. That's the reason why Michael ordered the hero and crusaders to kill them.
Belphegor inferred, "Tell me, where were you guys patrolling and how many survived the attack?"
He coughed, "We were patrolling the southern border, and I'm the only survivor, lord Belphegor."
Wait isn't the southern border close to Azazel territory? So I guess this is his doing, or maybe it's not.
"Southern border? That fucking feather-brained! I gave him a warning and he used a dragonoid to attack our troops!" He roared.
"Wait, don't just jump to conclusions, Belphegor, maybe it's not him. Let's go to the dragon nation to ask why they attacked our troops." Mammon responded. "And if they say that Azazel was the one who ordered them to, we will declare war on the fallen angels."
"Fine, everyone let's go."
Every one of the devil kings got up and was ready to go to the dragon nation.
"Tsukiko, what are you waiting for, let's go," Asmodeus muttered.
Wait they wanted me to go to the dragon nation with them? I hate going to that place, it reeks of sex and fish.
"I'm going to take a bath, you guys can go," I replied.
Asmodeus yelled, "I'm your boss and if I tell you to come with us, you should come with us!"
Can't she stop using that one line? Man, I hate it.
"How many times do I have.... Never mind, I'm coming too."
