The sun sets.
The sunset glow painted the road with warm, colorful hues.
"Battle is too hard, isn't it?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed her sore shoulders, feeling as if her body were filled with lead.
Koneko is so petite and cute, yet surprisingly ferocious in battle.
Should I say she is worthy of being a high class devil?
"This is just the beginning," Arashi Hayata said. "And cheer up—we have other things to do."
Kasumigaoka Utaha asked curiously, "What else?"
"Find a nun."
"Sure enough, my king, are you going to attack the nun already?"
"That's not the case," Arashi Hayata explained. "She should be related to those fallen angels."
If he remembered correctly, this was indeed the case. But with the world in this state, he wasn't completely sure.
Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked and pointed to the side.
"Is that the girl you're talking about?"
"Um?"
Arashi Hayata followed her gaze, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
There stood a girl wearing a nun's uniform, with long, dazzling golden hair.
At this moment, the girl was looking at the hamburger shop, swallowing nervously.
This girl might be surprisingly easy to approach.
Seeing her, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes flashed.
Realizing that Arashi Hayata had no hostility toward the girl, she took on the role of a relative and chose to help him solve his problem.
Taking a few quick steps forward, Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Eh?" the girl blinked.
Seeing this, Arashi Hayata nodded with satisfaction.
Good!
Kasumigaoka Utaha is already a qualified peerage.
The sky gradually darkened.
In the hamburger shop, Arashi Hayata and the other two sat facing each other.
In addition to hamburgers, various snacks were on the table.
Looking at the food, Asia felt conflicted.
Although she was very hungry, she felt embarrassed to walk in with strangers.
She wanted to leave but was too hungry.
"Don't just stare, eat something. It's my treat," Arashi Hayata said with an amused expression. "Or do you think these are junk food?"
"No, how could that be?"
Asia shook her head, panicked, then whispered, "Well… thank you very much then."
She picked up the burger and began eating.
At first, in small bites, then faster and faster, until her cheeks were full and she looked very satisfied.
"It's delicious. It's really delicious."
Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously asked, "Have you never eaten a hamburger before?"
"No."
Asia shook her head. "There's nothing like this in the church. There's only bread."
"…"
Kasumigaoka Utaha fell silent.
What kind of life did this girl live before? Is the church even harsh on nuns?
When Asia finally couldn't eat anymore, Arashi Hayata asked, "Asia, can we talk now?"
"How do you know me?"
Asia's eyes widened. "Have we met before?"
"This is the first time I've seen you today, but I just know," Arashi Hayata said. "You're probably the only nun who can heal demons, right?"
What?
Asia was stunned, then her body began to tremble slightly.
Could it be that the two people in front of her are also fallen angels? I just escaped…
Her expression turned sad unconsciously. This must be because my faith isn't strong enough, so the Lord punished me.
Watching Asia's expression change, Arashi Hayata said, "Don't be afraid. I won't do anything bad to you. We are not from the church, and we are certainly not fallen angels."
Asia was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red.
Asia Argento, what are you thinking? How can you doubt the benefactor who gave you food?
"Master is right. Because we are devils," Kasumigaoka Utaha added with a mischievous smile.
"Evil… devils?"
Asia's body stiffened completely.
"Utaha, why are you scaring her?"
Shaking his head, Arashi Hayata said, "Although we are indeed devils, we really have no ill will toward you."
Facing Arashi Hayata's sincere eyes, Asia gradually calmed down.
If it's this person, then she is trustworthy. For some reason, she felt that way.
"Master, why weren't you so gentle to me back then?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little jealous.
Couldn't this master speak nicely? Why is it that when I'm with him, my mind is full of dirty thoughts?
"Really? I thought you liked that way of communicating."
"Perverted Master, do you have any misunderstanding about love?"
"Why didn't you say that when you were replenishing your magic?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's cheeks turned red, but she couldn't continue.
All that came to mind were the scenes from that time.
Arashi Hayata looked at her strangely.
Why does it feel like Kasumigaoka Utaha's sharp tongue has become less effective?
But the most important thing now is Asia. Arashi Hayata continued, "You must be homeless now. If you don't mind, I have an empty room at my place."
"Is it really possible?"
Asia's eyes widened with joy and astonishment.
She had been homeless since being expelled from the church. This sentence was too comforting.
"Certainly!"
Arashi Hayata smiled.
. . . . . .
At Arashi Hayata's home!
After asking some questions, Asia fell into a deep sleep.
Kasumigaoka Utaha sat on the sofa, looking at Arashi Hayata in surprise. "It's really surprising that my perverted master didn't do anything?"
"What did you expect me to do?"
"After all, she's a beautiful girl. At the very least, you'd force her to be your wife, right?"
Arashi Hayata took a sip of juice from the refrigerator. "Her faith in the Lord is very firm. It's not that easy."
Thinking of Asia's experience, Arashi Hayata felt a little complicated.
He considers himself not a bad person. But he doesn't feel he's reached the point of having no bottom line.
Moreover, so-called relatives have no meaning if they are not voluntary.
Looking at Arashi Hayata, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to refresh her understanding of him.
My master is really complicated. But that makes him more attractive.
"Okay, it's late. You should get some rest first."
Arashi Hayata stretched and walked toward the door.
"Where are you going?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha asked subconsciously.
"Nothing. This is my childhood sweetheart's territory. Now that I know some information about those fallen angels, how can I not take action?"
