The white cotton fabric in his hand was still warm.
It carried a scent.
Lin Mu, taking advantage of no one paying attention, made eye contact with Vignette, who had just looked over, and immediately felt a bit awkward.
Although he was a bit perverted, he wouldn't go so far as to play with a girl's panties in public.
That was something only that perverted sadist and Makoto from Perfect World would do!
Adhering to the idea that if I'm not embarrassed, then others are, he withdrew his gaze from Vignette, feigned a couple of coughs, and calmly tucked the warm, fragrant fabric into his school uniform pocket.
This action left Vignette stunned, and her cheeks flushed a little.
In her mind, however, she was complaining.
That definitely belonged to Gabriel!
Honestly, she told her to come to school for class, and she actually sent a pair of ~ panties in her place.
And Lin Mu was too perceptive as a human, actually grabbing them...
If those were hers, Vignette felt her mind would instantly go blank with shame.
Ah, what to do? She had contracted the illness of feeling embarrassed for Gabriel.
After the afternoon classes ended, Vignette immediately returned to Gabriel's house.
As for how she got in.
It was simple; she had a spare key to Gabriel's house.
Although Gabriel said this was a criminal act, she didn't seem to have any intention of stopping her.
Clearly, Gabriel actually quite liked having a friend like Vignette who cared about her.
Angels and demons actually becoming friends; this world was truly becoming stranger and stranger.
Looking at the bulge under Gabriel's quilt, Vignette helplessly rubbed her forehead and sighed.
"Gabriel, even if you don't want to go to class, you don't have to go this far, do you? Are you planning to have your panties attend school in your place from now on?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a somewhat withdrawn Gabriel threw off the quilt and jumped out, exclaiming, "No, I'm not!"
"Who would think that?"
She had her eyes closed, her small face flushed crimson, an expression of explosive shame.
"Vignette, it's over! My panties made a grand appearance at school! Wuwu, how can I ever show my face at school again? Just let me die!"
Looking at the self-deprecating Gabriel, Vignette also looked at her with some sympathy, then waved her hand at her.
"It's not that bad, not that bad. If you don't say anything, who would know they're yours?"
Gabriel, however, had a tear-streaked face. "They're definitely mine! They appeared directly on my seat; whose else could they be?"
Vignette's mouth twitched, and she said awkwardly, "Uh... although I sympathize with you, what's done is done. No amount of regret will help."
Upon hearing this, Gabriel threw off the quilt, jumped out of bed, pulled out a golden horn, and revealed a broken expression.
"Damn it! In that case, I can only do this!"
Vignette was immediately shocked. "Hey, what are you doing? Isn't that the horn that announces the end of the world? You, are you trying to destroy all of humanity?"
Gabriel roared frantically, "At this point, this is the only way! If I silence everyone who saw it, I won't have to be embarrassed!"
Vignette quickly stopped her. "Calm down, lazy angel! The consequences of blowing that horn recklessly will be even more severe!"
Why is the horn that announces the end of the world in the hands of an angel like this?
Don't the angels care?
"Wuwuwu, but it's so embarrassing, Vignette. I can't face anyone."
Gabriel put down the horn with a tear-streaked face, her shoulders slumped, looking mortified.
Vignette helplessly patted her head to comfort her.
"Alright, the situation isn't that bad. Actually, the circumstances were quite special at the time. Your panties were grabbed by Lin Mu as soon as they appeared and put into his pocket."
"Therefore, besides me, who is quite sensitive to space, only Lin Mu saw them."
Hearing this, Gabriel's eyes lit up, and she immediately got up.
"Hey, Gabriel, where are you going?"
"To silence him, of course! My panties are still in his hand, right? I'm going to kill him, and then no one will know about this!"
Vignette heard this and quickly hugged her waist to stop her.
"Stop thinking about killing people! Are you a demon? And Lin Mu is a friend, a friend! How can you bear to kill him?"
Gabriel's small face alternated between red and white.
She couldn't bring herself to kill him. After all, Lin Mu was one of her few human male friends, and like Vignette, he took good care of her at school.
Although she had now become a lazy angel, uninterested in anything other than enjoying life, Gabriel still knew who treated her well.
"Damn it, why him of all people?"
Gabriel sat on the floor in frustration, her cheeks burning red.
How could she face Lin Mu after this?
...
And how was she going to get her panties back?
If she went to ask for them, wouldn't that expose her identity as an angel?
Vignette pouted, "You should be grateful it was him. Luckily, he was quick, otherwise if someone else had seen, you'd be even more embarrassed!"
"Tch~, annoying, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm playing games again today!"
The resigned Gabriel opened her computer and, without a care in the world, started playing games again.
Vignette was even more speechless.
Why did I rush over to comfort her?
However, seeing that Gabriel hadn't impulsively blown the horn again, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
This lazy angel, she really couldn't stop worrying about her.
Gabriel, who was using games to numb herself and ease her embarrassment, was not calm inside.
...
After being exposed to the internet for a while, he had also come to understand some human traits.
Human males were very lecherous.
So, Lin Mu, that guy, holding her panties…
He wouldn't do anything strange with them, would he?
On the other side, Lin Mu naturally wasn't doing anything strange.
He simply put this unexpected item into a box under his bed, treating it as a collectible.
He figured Gabriel wouldn't ask for it back, so he could only keep it.
...
Watching Gabriel operate the computer, Vignette shook her head and sighed.
"Gabriel, you missed today's math test. That's really not good for your evaluation, is it? You angels should have a mechanism to record your performance in the human world, right?"
"Being too lazy really will get you sent back to the Heavens!"
Hearing this, Gabriel's delicate body trembled.
She didn't care about the evaluation; she just didn't want to go back to the Heavens.
Being sent back to the Heavens meant she couldn't come down anymore and would be grounded.
The thought of no more games, no more snacks, and having to constantly study courses about making everyone happy in the Heavens, made her physically unable to accept it.
"How troublesome. I know, I'll go to school tomorrow. Vignette, there's still time now, why don't you play games with me? It's a lot of fun!"
"I refuse to neglect my duties for pleasure! You lazy angel, you've fallen and now you want to drag me, a demon, down with you."
Vignette shook her head vigorously. Seeing Gabriel's lazy demeanor, she had no interest in games whatsoever.
