My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains [part 2 ]

Chapter 158: Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire

༺ Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire ༻

The look of utter dismay on Archbishop Luminol's face as he peered at the Angel through his veil was palpable.

In his eyes, such a scene must have felt bewildering.

After all, under normal circumstances, the Angel should have rebuked the presence of a Devil's Aura in me. But, what had happened was she only stood there stiffly, her gaze was fixated on me.

"...O Messenger?"

The Archbishop called out to her, but she still didn't respond. Her eyes continued to tremble greatly.

"..."

Meanwhile, for me...

This was a huge jackpot.

Normally, this angel would have fled the moment I tried to meet her, but now here she was, boldly standing in front of my eyes.

[Y-You... W-Why are you here...?]

Her quivering voice that echoed in 'my mind' made it even clearer that she didn't want to be here.

Keep in mind that whenever an Angel were to manifest themselves in the Material Realm, they had the obligation to maintain a devout and dignified atmosphere, and she wasn't exempt from this obligation.

Yet, even with that obligation in mind, she still couldn't suppress a groan out of her lips. All because I was the personification of her trauma.

Just by seeing me must have brought back the fear that she had when she was almost devoured by the White Devil.

"...D-Did he just say, 'It's been a while'?"

"Does that mean he actually met the Angel before?"

Such mutterings started to appear from the spectators' seats.

After hearing those words, the Angel's expression began to darken even more.

"..."

Iliya, who was still standing beside me, alternated her gaze between me and the Angel. There was a knowing look on her face.

Well, she was there when I met the Angel for the first time, so it was understandable that she made such a look.

"...Uh, Teach?"

"Yeah?"

"After observing you for a while, I've come to understand you to a certain extent."

"Okay..."

"...From the look of your face, you're about to do something incredibly shitty. Like, this would definitely go down on the history kind of level."

"..."

I've always had the feeling that she had a good intuition.

Ever since she acquired the Eye of Truth or whatever, it felt as if she could read my mind directly.

Seriously, what kind of ability was that, anyway?

[What do you want from me this time...? Why do you have such a sinister look on your face?!]

"..."

Well, either Iliya got a good intuition, or everyone could see it from my face, I guess.

'Well, it's nothing much.'

Just like Caliban, it seemed like this Angel could respond to my thoughts directly.

A blessing to me, really.

Because I'd need balls of steel to say this shit out loud.

'You see, I'm trying to do an important thing, but some of these bastards are trying to prevent me from even starting it.'
