Aiden of course didn't know what Bayonetta was thinking, he continued praising.
"My girlfriend is not only good-looking, her figure is also top-notch, you've seen it, and she's relatively understanding, and also cooks really well…"
'Wait… how does he know I can cook?'
Bayonetta felt something was off when she heard the latter part, but quickly she gave herself an explanation, 'Right, I heard there's an old saying in Z Country, something like 'Beauty is in the eyes of the lover'…'
'Seems like that, mm, he must be thinking that way. But, I haven't agreed yet, and you also haven't confessed, talking nonsense, and even if you confess, I might not agree, the time we've known each other is too short."'
In fact, during the decades since Bayonetta awoke, she had lived alone, basically knew a bit of everything, quite like Jeanne. Similarly, in terms of thinking, she wasn't much different from Jeanne.
While the black-haired witch was lost in thought, Aiden had already finished chatting with Enzo. Then after lunch, Aiden held Miss Cat and watched TV all afternoon in the living room.
Maybe because she knew she was about to carry out that plan with Rodin, this afternoon, Miss Cat behaved unusually quietly, curled up in Aiden's arms, accompanying him watching TV the entire afternoon.
Then, time quickly passed to evening.
Aiden finished dinner, took a shower, but when he returned to the bedroom, he didn't see Miss Cat's figure.
Smelling the lingering rosemary scent in the bedroom, Aiden smiled, he knew, from now on there would probably only be Bayonetta, no more Miss Cat.
"Goodbye, Miss Cat."
Aiden suddenly felt a bit sad in his heart.
Then he smiled again, "We'll see each other tomorrow, Miss Bayonetta."
———
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Not long after dinner, Enzo drove Aiden together to the small town's cemetery.
In the morning today, Enzo had gone out and contacted a funeral company to have the coffin containing Rodin delivered to the small town, so when they arrived, they didn't need to do anything, just mourn a bit, then bury him directly.
On the way, Enzo glanced at Aiden's empty hands and asked in confusion, "Where's your Miss Cat? Haven't seen it all day."
"Ran off, disappeared, gone, left me." Aiden said with a sad face.
"Cats really are animals you can't raise well. You treated it so well and it still ran away, I really feel sorry for you."
Enzo believed it, comforted him, "After we bury Rodin, I'll go check the pet market and buy you a purebred kitten. Raise it from small, it definitely won't run."
"No need to bother, and…" Aiden sighed, "and, no matter what breed of cat, none are better than my Miss Cat."
"But she already ran." Enzo reminded.
"But I will bring her back." Aiden said seriously to him.
Enzo was speechless. He looked at Aiden, then shook his head, "Suit yourself."
While talking, the sports car had already exited the city.
And the small town they were heading to was only a few dozen kilometers away. With Enzo practically flooring the gas pedal, they entered the town in just over ten minutes.
However, not long after they entered the town, the originally cloudless sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and soon after, a light drizzle began to fall.
"Look, even the weather doesn't care about that guy Rodin. How bad must he have been before." Enzo said mockingly.
Aiden responded from the side, "Maybe heaven pities him?"
Enzo sneered, "Heaven? You mean God, right? My god, that guy deserves to go to hell. God not striking him with lightning is already merciful, pity him? What a joke."
'The thing is, I was joking!'
Aiden shook his head, then walked toward the cemetery.
———
Inside the cemetery, Bayonetta had put back on her nun outfit, holding a Bible in her hands, silently reading in front of a coffin.
"Reading the Bible to someone like this is useless."
"Everyone has been waiting for this bastard to die for years."
Before Aiden and Enzo even got close, Enzo was already shouting.
"Look, look around, besides me and Aiden, not a single person was willing to attend this guy's funeral. So stop wasting your efforts, Bayonetta. Angels won't respond, they won't care, and he's not going to heaven anyway."
In the silent night, though it was raining lightly, Enzo's voice still echoed far away, making the eerie cemetery feel a bit livelier.
Hearing his voice, Bayonetta didn't respond, still sincerely reading the Bible, and this scene made it hard to believe that she was a witch who had made a contract with demons.
Looking at Bayonetta's face full of holy expression, Aiden was very interested. The drizzle affected his vision, so he walked right next to the witch lady, staring at her directly.
Interestingly, although Aiden didn't speak and just looked at Bayonetta, for her, the impact was greater than Enzo who had been yelling the whole time. Originally reading fluently, as soon as she saw Aiden in the corner of her eye, she started stumbling.
She helplessly lifted her head to glare at Aiden, then raised the Bible to block his figure, and continued reciting.
At this time, Enzo also came over, a cigar in his mouth. Using his coat to shield it, he lit the cigar, took a deep puff, and said while looking at the coffin, "Bayonetta, how much longer do you need?"
The black-haired witch still didn't respond, so Enzo looked at Aiden, only to find him squatting beside the coffin with interest, poking it with a stick.
Enzo was someone who couldn't stop talking, so he chattered again, "Ah, come to think of it, Aiden, you probably haven't seen Rodin before, right? If you're interested, I can help you open the coffin for a look."
"But this guy's been dead for several days, the corpse probably stinks… never mind, better not look. I still need to go home and eat the cake my daughter made, don't want to lose my appetite."
Aiden glanced at him, then continued tapping the coffin with the stick.
Seeing Aiden not responding either, Enzo got a bit deflated, he just wanted someone to talk to.
He could only continue looking at Bayonetta, "Bayonetta, if you can really summon down angels, I'll eat this coffin right here, how about it?"
He obviously didn't believe angels would descend, which is why he dared to bet like this.
"Really?" Hearing Enzo's words, Aiden turned back to look at him.
"Of course really." Enzo nodded confidently.
Aiden also nodded, "In that case, Enzo, I can only hope your stomach is strong enough, wood isn't easy to digest."
"So you also believe angels will descend?" Enzo asked curiously.
Aiden didn't reply, just looked up at the sky, and at that moment, golden light suddenly burst forth in the sky.
Looking at the holy golden light above, Enzo's mouth opened wide. He didn't even notice the expensive cigar falling from his mouth.
"How is this possible… they… actually descended? For that scumbag, that bastard, they really descended?" He waved his hands at Aiden and Bayonetta, bewildered.
At this moment, he didn't even know if he was afraid, or just worried about his stomach. After all, he just made a bet with Aiden, if angels truly descended, he'd eat the coffin.
"Damn it, this light… really is my misfortune." He shouted bitterly.
However, though he could see the golden light, he couldn't see the angels, after all, he was just an ordinary person. Even when dealing with demons before, it was through Rodin.
So a glimmer of hope rose in his heart again.
"Actually they didn't appear, right? This light is just an illusion, right?"
"Sorry, but we can see them." Aiden leaned on a tombstone and said to him.
"And we can see very clearly, they're messengers of God, which is to say… angels."
"My… God."
Seeing the two so certain, Enzo was dumbfounded. But actually, what shocked him more was that Rodin's death could even attract angels.
"He was clearly a bastard… who's ever seen a bastard go to heaven?" Enzo muttered again.
Just as Enzo was in shock, Bayonetta tossed away the Bible in her hand. She extended a fair finger and drew a line in the air, a gorgeous magic circle appeared, one that could send her into Purgatory Space.
Just as she leapt up and prepared to enter the Purgatory Space, she didn't forget to remind Aiden.
"Stay back…"
But before she could finish, she noticed something wrong, because at that moment, she had already touched the magic circle, and in her vision, Enzo had become semi-transparent, while Aiden was still clearly visible.
Yes, Aiden had inexplicably entered the Purgatory Space passively again.
But she didn't have time to be surprised, because the angels had already flown to her.
'Must finish them quickly, angels won't show mercy to innocents.'
Thinking this, Bayonetta struck without hesitation. She hadn't brought any weapons, so she directly used martial arts.
She twisted and delivered a flying kick, blowing up a low-level angel's head in midair. Then with a spin, punched another unprepared angel's chest inward, blood sprayed from its monstrous mouth.
"Hiss, wild fighting like this is that fierce?" Watching Bayonetta be so violent, Aiden sucked in a breath, recalling how Miss Cat had flying-kicked him yesterday. His face couldn't help but ache.
After five hundred years of sleep, Bayonetta had long forgotten a witch's combat techniques. But even wild fighting methods were still powerful, didn't seem worse than Jeanne at all.
At this moment, after killing several low-level angels, the black-haired witch noticed Aiden's shocked expression. The corner of her mouth curled slightly, thinking, 'You better not offend me in the future, or else…'
Even while distracted with that thought, Bayonetta's actions didn't pause, she kept killing the attacking angels.
Meanwhile, the battle in Purgatory Space also affected the real world, making Enzo, still in the human world, scream in panic.
Enzo couldn't see what was happening in Purgatory Space, but the battle there spilled into reality.
In his vision, pits kept appearing in the ground around him, and the innocent tombstones were shattered one by one.
He could only cover his head, screaming as he ran in all directions.
