Volume 4, Chapter 22 – Lucifer? Lucifa!

Mihiel did not really believe the messenger Angel who claimed that the visitor was a human little girl.

However, since the report said she had come to request an audience with Lord of Pride Lucifer, Mihiel did not think of herself as someone completely unreasonable.

Besides, a lone human coming all the way across such a vast distance to the Abyss just to seek an audience with their lord was something Mihiel was hearing about for the very first time.

“Let her in.”

Agreeing to the request to meet Lucifer, Mihiel actually felt a slight trace of interest toward this so-called “human.”

Of course, it was not only Mihiel. All the Fallen Angels present were incredibly curious, their hearts itching like a cat’s claws as they wondered who this human could be…

Not long after, along with the “pat pat” of footsteps from outside the palace, a cute little girl with long silver hair appeared in everyone’s sight…

“Um… hello. I am really sorry to disturb you like this, but this time, I came because I want to seek an audience with your lord, Lucifer.”

The little girl explained her purpose with very polite manners.

“How dare you. You actually dare to directly call our lord by name.”

A Fallen Angel spoke with a tone full of indignation, expressing the displeasure in his heart.

“Eh… I am not allowed to call your lord like that? My bad, my bad…”

The little girl showed an adorably embarrassed expression, answering with a slightly apologetic tone.

At this moment, the little girl sitting on the throne looked curiously at the silver haired little girl below. To spell it out directly, that was Tianyin.

“I don’t really care about that kind of thing… um… it is… it is, like, um… did you come here for me?”

She looked at Tianyin with curious eyes, yet the tone in which the little girl spoke was cautious, as if she was afraid of making Tianyin mad.

“Yeah, I came for you, Lord of Pride Lucifer.”

Tianyin nodded and admitted her purpose directly, though this time she had very consciously added the honorific “Lord” into her words.

“Muu… no need for that lord or anything… um… um, this might sound unbelievable to you when I say it, but… when I saw you, I felt like you seemed kind of familiar… so, could you maybe… ah, muu…”

Halfway through speaking, the little girl, in other words Lucifer, clutched her mouth in pain.

“Eh? What happened to you?”

Tianyin looked completely puzzled, clearly still not realizing what had just happened to Lucifer.

Standing at the front, Mihiel let out a helpless sigh, then stepped forward.

“I am very sorry. Our lord will bite her own tongue whenever she talks for too long… so we apologize for our lord stopping halfway through her sentence…”

“Eeh, eeh… she bit her tongue?”

Tianyin looked totally dumbfounded.

By rights, the little girl in front of her should be Lucifer. In Tianyin’s understanding, since Lucifer had been the very first to fall into Inferno, there had to be something outstanding about her. Not to mention that during her days in the Sanctuary, Lucifer had been one of the famed Archangels, and after falling into Infernoshe was directly known to the world as Lord of Pride…

Just based on this information Tianyin had learned before, even if Lucifer was a girl, her fighting power and her way of handling people should both have been that of someone very mature and seasoned.

But… What is with this situation now?

That petite and delicate figure she had seen when they first met had already made Tianyin think this was not Lucifer.

After she confirmed that this really was Lucifer, Tianyin even held to the principle that you cannot judge a book by its cover and treated Lucifer with great courtesy.

But… what was with that air of sheer timidness on her face. And what was up with that habit of biting her tongue halfway through a sentence…

Where was the dignity… Where was the dignity of the Lord of Pride? Hurry up and show some of the imposing presence you should have as the first Fallen Angel to fall into Inferno, hey.

Seeing Tianyin’s expression change again and again, Mihiel seemed to share the same feelings, and her own expression looked unusually grave.

“Sorry, this is the lord of us Fallen Angels. She is a little bit embarrassing, but we are still willing to serve her… after all, with a lord like this, there is no way we can feel at ease if we leave her alone…”

“Ah… I get it…”

Tianyin nodded in full agreement.

“Ah… um… um…”

At this moment, the little girl on the throne raised her small hand again, indicating that she had something to say.

“Um… W-What is your name?”

“My name. Tianyin. Tian of sky, yin of sound.”

“Mm, Tianyin. Mm, mm… I-I am Lucifa, but… not that Lucifer, I am Lucifa… mm, and I am also Lord of Pride… Tianyin, I… I can feel a power in you that comes from the same source as mine…”

Lucifer… no, Lucifa spoke while looking very nervous. After she finished, she was still watching Tianyin with a wary expression.

“…Same source?”

Although Lucifa’s words did not sound like much on the surface, as the foremost among the Fallen Angels under Lucifa, Mihiel understood very well what this “same source” in Lucifa’s words meant.

“Original Sin… Lady Lucifa holds the power of Pride, and the power of Pride is one of the powers of the Original Sins. That means you should not be an ordinary human, right?”

She looked at Tianyin with caution. Not only that, the surrounding Fallen Angels began to spread their wings, countless Fallen Angel spell formulas filled with tremendous power starting to take shape.

“Mm… wait, wait, I don’t have any hostile intentions… I only wanted to ask your Lady Lucifa for help…”

Tianyin still did not really understand why the Fallen Angels had become hostile after hearing Lucifa’s words, yet she had no intention of fighting.

“No hostile intentions. You possess a power of the Original Sin just like us, and you expect me to believe the words of someone who is an Original Sin itself.”

From Mihiel’s words, it was obvious that this Fallen Angel did not believe Tianyin’s explanation at all.

“Ah… wait… wait, what are you all doing… stop…”

Lucifa on the throne clearly did not know what was going on. She simply saw that the situation below looked like a fight was about to break out, and hurriedly stood up from the throne in a panic.

“Lady Lucifa, be quiet. You already know that this person of unknown origin shares a power of the Original Sins with you, yet you still have no vigilance at all. I am really disappointed in you.”

“Muu… I… I was wrong, but… but please don’t hurt Tianyin, okay, Big Sis Mihiel…”

Scolded, Lucifa began to quietly sob like a child.

Yes, just like that, she suddenly started crying again…

Reαⅾ оո KatRеαdіոɡCαfе

“Sigh…”

Seeing Lucifa crying once more, Mihiel’s expression kept shifting, and in the end she could only let out a deeply helpless sigh.

The Fallen Angels present also silently dispelled the spell attacks they had been building up as Lucifa cried.

Right then, Tianyin’s voice suddenly broke the silence that had fallen over the palace.

“Ah… looks like you made her cry.”

Translator Note

Alright, so her name seems to be Lucifa. So, I don’t know why in the previous chapter the Fallen Angels called her Lady Lucifer. I re-checked the raw twice and it’s true that in the previous chapter she was called Lady Lucifer, and somehow in this chapter she is Lucifa.

Well, actually it’s just different in hanzi, but their pinyin are somehow the same.

路西法 / Lù xīfa → Lucifer

露西法 / Lù xīfa  → Lucifa

So I translated them as 2 different names, because in this chapter she seems to be correcting her name “I-I am Lucifa, but… not that Lucifer, I am Lucifa…” And the narrative after that also corrects her name too. “Lucifer… no, Lucifa spoke while looking very nervous.”

Well, anyway, considering the previous chapter she was called Lucifer, there might be future chapters where both Lucifer and Lucifa names appeared again. If that happens, you can treat Lucifer and Lucifa as the same person for now.
