Chapter 213
Chapter 213
The turmoil caused by the black and white twins finally came to an end.
But no one knew the courage Adele had summoned when facing them alone, ultimately relying on her own strength to resolve the crisis.
So Adele felt a bit indignant about this.
She was a girl who needed praise and recognition, especially when she had put in so much effort, when she had achieved something for the first time without relying on others.
At first, she boasted about it to Seraph, who had suddenly appeared.
Seraph, as always, was indifferent. Although she expressed her congratulations to Adele, Adele couldn’t feel happy.
“You’re just saying that, you’re not sincere at all!”
The girl threw herself onto the bed and started rolling around.
However, Seraph, as if unable to read the atmosphere, came to her side and said,
“Rather than that, I’m more curious about what Adele did in her Witch Domain.”
“What I did?”
Adele, hugging her pillow, stopped rolling and pouted, her dissatisfied expression incredibly cute.
It seemed that Seraph was very concerned about Adele’s performance as a witch.
After all, she was the angel who had turned Adele into a witch.
Adele thought for a moment and realized that it was a bit difficult to describe.
In the end, she simply hugged Seraph and pushed her down.
“If you want to know what I did, let’s just reenact it!”
“…”
Although Seraph looked speechless, she agreed with Adele’s straightforward demonstration method in her heart.
Perhaps the thought processes of angels and humans were really different.
Besides, this body was originally a shell she had created for Adele.
After a round of passionate activity, Seraph gradually understood everything.
In the bathroom, Adele was cleaning Seraph’s “stained” body.
Actually, Seraph could have easily solved this with a simple spell, but seeing Adele being so serious, Seraph couldn’t refuse her kindness.
She simply enjoyed the refreshing sensation of the hot water washing over her body and slowly opened her eyes, saying,
“That girl has rich emotional value.”
Adele tilted her head, thinking for a moment before realizing that Seraph was probably talking about Tsukimi Shiro.
She couldn’t help but retort,
“That topic is over… your train of thought is too long.”
“But you mean, you want me to extract more emotional value from her?”
“Pretty much, but I’m not saying she’s special. It’s just that she’s your nourishment, and you had a conflict with her before, so you can be unrestrained…”
Before Seraph could finish her sentence, Adele interrupted her with a frown, her voice sharp.
“I disagree with you!”
“That would be treating someone completely as a tool to be exploited!”
“Seraph, shouldn’t universal love be a characteristic of angels?”
Adele stopped wiping Seraph’s back and instead hugged her, pressing her soft cheek against Seraph’s delicate back, which was originally white but now flushed slightly pink from the hot water.
Faintly visible on Seraph’s shoulder blades were two scars that looked like they had been burned.
There should have been a pair of angel wings there, but Seraph had retracted them to fulfill Adele’s wish of washing her body, revealing the marks where the wings were rooted in her body.
It looked painful, as if becoming an angel required enduring unimaginable pain.
But Seraph seemed to be a creation of the “Lord,” she was born an angel, not someone who became an angel through trials.
So Adele thought of another, rather whimsical possibility.
That was, had Seraph’s wings been broken before?
But later, she received a blessing or used another method to regrow them.
Whatever the case, Adele couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
Perhaps unconsciously, she had also come to see the seemingly emotionless, three-no angel Seraph as a precious companion.
So she couldn’t help but gently kiss the two scars with her lips.
Seraph instantly felt an indescribable tremor, and her whole body went limp.
She wasn’t the omniscient and omnipotent “Lord,” but she could clearly sense what Adele was doing at this moment.
This made Seraph’s heart flutter, a feeling she hadn’t felt in a thousand years.
Adele kissed… the place where her wings were once broken?
Seraph used all her strength to suppress the fluttering in her heart and calmly responded to Adele’s question,
“Universal love? That’s just a quality that humans arbitrarily assigned to us.”
“The Lord loves the world, so we love the world.”
And vice versa.
“Witches should have rich and strong emotions, that’s how they can influence more people. From this perspective, Adele, you’re already a qualified witch.”
“If you don’t want to treat others as tools to be exploited, that’s fine.”
“But I can feel that this world is starting to change. Maybe my early awakening… wasn’t that early after all.”
Maybe it was just the right time.
Seraph’s gaze was deep, although she was looking at the mist in the bathroom, it was as if she was looking at the vast sky and stars.
“New changes?”
Adele asked, confused.
“A storm is coming. It’s not just me, beings from ancient times are also awakening. This world will soon cease to be as peaceful as it is now.”
“Before that, it’s always right to improve your strength for self-preservation.”
This was what Seraph truly wanted to tell Adele.
The current Adele was still too weak, and Seraph couldn’t protect her forever. After all, Seraph had her own things to do, she needed to welcome the Lord’s arrival and fight for Him.
It was worth mentioning that Seraph had actually noticed Amaterasu Kuro and Tsukimi Shiro’s pursuit of Adele.
But at that time, she was observing in secret, watching the world from her own space.
The reason she didn’t intervene was because she hoped that Adele could solve this not-so-big problem with her own abilities.
And Adele’s actions earned Seraph’s approval, although Adele would probably never know about it.
Hearing Seraph’s words, which finally showed a hint of emotion, Adele raised her eyebrows and asked,
“So… Seraph, are you actually concerned about me?”
Adele could always see through to the essence of things.
This was her talent, her innate intuition.
A faint blush suddenly appeared on Seraph’s pale, usually expressionless face.
The emotionless angel, at this moment, was made to experience the feeling of “being at a loss” for the first time by a tiny human, she was no longer emotionless.
After a while, she closed her eyes and said,
“No.”
Fortunately, Seraph was facing away from Adele at this moment, so Adele couldn’t see her flustered expression.
Hearing this, Adele pouted her cute lips and replied in a muffled voice,
“…Oh.”
But Seraph could see her expression.
It made Seraph’s heart feel a strange sensation.
Could it be said… that she was charmed?
Seraph became confused.
She started to think that it was the fault of this body, not her own problem.
Because the body she created was a human body, and humans were known for their strong emotions among all races.
And the one she was facing was Adele, the Lust Witch, whose greatest talent was seducing others.
So everything that followed made sense.
She would… explain it that way for now.
Seraph took a deep breath and exhaled.
“Continue, Adele.”
She said softly.
However, Adele was currently engrossed in Seraph’s smooth and delicate back, her fingertips sliding over it, unable to let go.
After a while, she finally realized that Seraph meant for her to continue scrubbing her back.
The girl couldn’t help but bite Seraph’s shoulder. It didn’t hurt, it was more like playful teasing or acting coquettishly.
Because although Adele was the one who took the initiative to clean Seraph’s body, if Seraph asked her to do it as if it was a matter of course, Adele would feel a clear sense of displeasure and would suddenly want to bite Seraph.
Some people might dislike this kind of personality, while others might like it.
But no matter what they thought, Adele was Adele, she wanted to be a free and unrestrained girl.
But after being bitten by Adele, Seraph felt that strange feeling erupt in her heart again.
It made her body tingle.
It also made Seraph involuntarily clench her legs together, as if a warm current… was about to flow out.
She was truly… the most talented witch embracing the original sin of “Lust” that she had ever seen after “her.”
On the surface, it seemed that Adele’s witch transformation was bestowed by Seraph, and the reason she became the Lust Witch was also due to Seraph’s choice.
But in reality, it wasn’t like that. Seraph did give Adele the opportunity to become a witch.
But it was Adele’s own heart that chose which path of original sin to take.
It was fortunate that Adele didn’t know this.
Otherwise, she would definitely question her life and say, “Seraph! You’re slandering me!”
It was like the original heroine “Adele” who wholeheartedly sought revenge and became the Revenge Witch.
And Adele, who was wholeheartedly “lewd” and full of dirty thoughts, became the Lust Witch.
This must be slander!
After a flurry of activity, Adele stretched out her arms, her lovely breasts bouncing with the movement, as if celebrating.
“Done, meow!”
“…”
Seraph had always wanted to complain.
Had Adele been assimilated by that little Cat-Bird?
But this little Cat-Bird was also quite strange, completely regressed into a cat.
And speaking of Cat-Birds, these magical creatures, Seraph couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Cat-Birds, it was said that they had the ability to choose the chosen one.
But in reality, it was just because the chosen one from the past had chosen them as pets.
As for the reason why First Snow was attached to Adele, Seraph tentatively analyzed it as… perhaps it was simply because Adele was cute.
And “bad girls attract cats.”
This wasn’t to say that Adele was “bad.”
But it was undeniable that she was a “naughty” girl.
“Don’t space out, Seraph, it’s your turn to wash me!”
“…Okay.”
Seraph didn’t expect that Adele had been waiting for her.
But helping someone bathe wasn’t difficult. Through her observation, Seraph had already learned the steps of Adele washing her body and hair.
Soon, they left the bathroom.
Seraph used magic to instantly evaporate the water from their hair without damaging the delicate strands.
So when Adele suddenly noticed a lot of “smoke” coming out of her head in the mirror, she screamed in horror,
“Fire! Fire! Help, help!”
Seraph looked at Adele with an expression of “you idiot.”
Then, Adele noticed that a large cloud of steam was also appearing above Seraph’s head, looking like smoke from a fire.
She finally understood.
“It was you, Seraph!”
She immediately reached out and pinched Seraph’s cheek.
“So-… mmph… sorry…”
This made Seraph’s apology sound muffled.
However, soon, when Adele’s hair was back to its usual smoothness and no longer wet, she even praised Seraph,
“This magic is pretty good.”
As if she had completely forgotten who she was angry at just now.
But Seraph had long been used to Adele’s behavior and didn’t mind.
Adele, with her hair dry, only wrapped in a towel and threw herself onto her soft bed, playing with her phone.
When she was scrolling through short videos and found a particularly funny one, she wanted to share it with Seraph and called out to her with a laugh,
“Seraph, come and see this! It’ll definitely make you laugh, it’s so boring to always have a straight face, Sala… ph?”
Only then did Adele notice…
That Seraph was no longer behind her.
The angel had once again disappeared without a trace.
Adele froze, and after a while, she bit her lip and muttered,
“You could at least say goodbye before leaving.”
Then she turned back to her phone and continued scrolling through funny short videos.
But this time, for some reason, Adele couldn’t find a single video that could make her laugh heartily after scrolling through several.
Feeling irritated, she threw her phone aside and buried her face in the soft blanket.
For some reason, her eyelashes seemed a little moist.
………………
However, in reality, Seraph, who had returned to the Angel Domain, was still watching Adele, watching the world where Adele was.
When she saw Adele’s attempt to share the video with her, and the lonely expression on her face afterward…
Seraph’s heart felt heavy, as if chains had been bound around it.
Later, she did something stupid.
The angel watched the video Adele wanted to share with her through special means.
Actually, as an angel, Seraph couldn’t quite understand the humor in this video for humans, she even found the background music a bit noisy.
But she still tried to smile, a stiff smile.
Then, in the void, she looked at the girl’s figure that gradually appeared in her mind, her eyes as gentle as water, and whispered,
“Adele, it’s very funny, thank you.”
