Raphael's words made Yukino Yukinoshita's delicate body tremble.
Although she had heard before that Lin Mu had paid a price to save her, she had always thought that this price had already been offset by her sister's sacrifice.
But now, hearing Raphael's words, she truly understood.
It turned out that someone had silently endured the pain she had experienced earlier.
A warm current flowed through her heart.
Yukino Yukinoshita thought of that big bad guy, and something unknowingly grew in her heart.
"Shiraha, thank you for telling me this. But, I also want to know, what will happen to the person who bears this injury?"
Raphael smiled and casually said, "It's nothing much, it's just that he'll be in the same state as you were when you were seriously injured. After all, this is damage transfer, not some healing spell from a game."
"Yukino, you have someone who loves you very much. You should cherish him."
Raphael, for once, showed her angelic side and said something meaningful to Yukino Yukinoshita.
Although she didn't understand why she felt a liking for Yukino, Raphael didn't dwell on it too much.
After all, her identity was an angel, and she generally didn't care much about humans.
"I understand, Shiraha. Thank you for telling me all this, thank you!"
Yukino Yukinoshita held her hand and expressed her gratitude very earnestly. 960
Raphael smiled and shook her head, "You're welcome. Your belief in me is the best thanks. I was even afraid Miss Yuki no Shita would think I was a weirdo."
"No, Shiraha is simply an angel in my eyes."
"Uh... haha, you're overpraising me."
Raphael quickly chuckled. An angel's identity couldn't be exposed to humans, otherwise, it would be considered a failed trial and she might be sent back to Heaven.
However, as long as the supervising archangel didn't find out, it wasn't a big problem.
And that archangel was Gabriel's sister, Archangel Gabriel.
Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't expected her encounter with an angel to go so smoothly, and she also gained information she had previously overlooked.
"Um, Shiraha, what do you think about demons?"
While pondering, Yukino Yukinoshita asked somewhat nervously.
"Demons? Yukino, have you encountered one?"
Raphael scrutinized her with a smile.
"I don't know if I've encountered one, but I'm able to stand here well now, and that person truly saved my life."
Raphael, however, waved her hand with a smile, "Don't worry, the person who saved you couldn't possibly be a demon. That damage transfer spell isn't that simple."
"Demons only destroy or develop some strange curse spells; they wouldn't use a method of bearing damage themselves to save people."
Hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita was immediately filled with confusion.
"If he's not a demon, could he be an angel then?"
"Heh, Yukino, whether he's an angel or a demon, is that really so important? I think what you should be thinking about more is who actually helped you, rather than being fixated on the identity of a demon or an angel and overthinking it."
Yukino Yukinoshita was a little embarrassed, and more so, conflicted.
Seeing this, Raphael added another sentence.
"Alright, seeing how confused you are, I'll tell you one more thing: you have a sacred aura about you.
This must be a blessing left by that person.
As long as you're in danger, he'll probably appear by your side immediately."
"Someone like that can't be the Demon Lord.
Besides, the Demon Lord isn't necessarily a bad person now.
You still need to feel it with your heart to know the truth."
After saying this, Raphael patted Yukino Yukinoshita's hand and stood up to leave.
She had an urgent need and had to go to the restroom.
Yukino Yukinoshita, meanwhile, clutched her chest, her cheeks growing hotter.
"Does that person… love me?"
Previously, it seemed he only bullied her relentlessly.
But now…
After being enlightened by Raphael, the angel, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly realized she had been taking her blessings for granted.
To be able to start a healthy new life, she was already very lucky.
She was loved by her sister.
Her sister was willing to give up everything in her life to save her.
And that big bad guy.
He bore all the injuries from the car accident for her; the pain she had experienced, he silently endured.
Just as she was thinking, someone sent another message.
Demon Lord: "Hey, hey, no way, Yukino, you're serious? You've already made friends with an angel so quickly?"
His tone seemed a bit flustered.
Yukino Yukinoshita's mood instantly brightened.
"Yes, I've already made friends with Shiraha.
How about it, are you scared?"
Although she had different feelings for him and a clearer understanding of her own heart, it didn't stop her from talking back to him.
Who told him to bully her like that?
Moreover, all her embarrassing and shameful moments had been seen by him; she couldn't help but feel annoyed no matter how she thought about it.
Demon Lord: "Just kidding, what do I have to be afraid of? I haven't done anything bad."
Yukino Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow.
"Are the things you've done to me not bad?"
Demon Lord: "Cough, cough, what are you saying? What I've done to you is clearly good.
Yukino, I've always been working hard for your growth."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Pfft, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll really have Shiraha punish you!"
She started to use Shiraha's influence, just not wanting him to be too smug.
Or rather…
She just wanted to provoke him, and then he would probably get angry and come find her again.
Anyway, she was too embarrassed to go find him herself, so she could only make him come to her.
Demon Lord: "Oh, you! Yukino, you just talked to an angel and now you're threatening me.
I'm very angry now, and the consequences will be severe."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Heh, and then what?"
Demon Lord: "Wait for me after class, I'm coming to punish you."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Alright, we'll see who punishes whom!"
Before she knew it, class was over.
A minute later, Lin Mu looked at the Second Miss in his arms, panting and flushed, somewhat reluctant to release her lips.
His expression was a bit strange.
"Yukino, where's your so-called punishment? You said 'we'll see who punishes whom,' is this how you punish me?"
Her fair arms were still wrapped around his neck.
Yukino Yukinoshita, breathing rapidly, buried her pretty face in his chest, her small hands tightly clasping his neck.
"I am punishing you… I… I'm going to suffocate you."
Lin Mu was instantly inflamed.
"Yukino, do you know that men can't stand being provoked?"
He lowered his head again and blocked the Second Miss's lips.
It wasn't until two minutes before class started that Lin Mu released her.
Sighing, he raised his hand and stroked her beautiful hair, "I'll let you off for now today.
If you provoke me again, I'll punish you again."
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently, her small face red, and even responded with a sound.
"Mm."
Lin Mu was instantly a bit surprised.
Was she… acknowledging his punishment?
How strange.
How did he feel like he had fallen into a trap?
Yukino Yukinoshita wouldn't intentionally provoke him just to make him come over and bully her, would she?
