Volume 4, Chapter 30 – Warmth

Just like that, Heavenly Father left.

After Tianyin helped the Fallen Angels and then talked for a while with Lucifa’s father… Heavenly Father, Tianyin finally… got to set out on the journey home with Lucifa in tow.

However, since it was already quite late, they ended up going with Mihiel’s suggestion and decided to leave the next morning.

Naturally, Tianyin very reasonably spent the night resting in Lucifa’s castle.

However… what caught Tianyin a bit off guard was…

“Wait… are you sure this room is the one prepared for me to sleep in?”

Following Mihiel, she arrived in front of the room the Fallen Angels had prepared for her, and through the keen perception that came with the Seven Original Sins, Tianyin could feel a dense Original Sin power inside the room.

And the owner of that Original Sin power was someone Tianyin was extremely familiar with… because that was the Lord of Pride, Heavenly Father’s daughter… Lucifa.

Because she had sensed Lucifa’s presence inside, Tianyin turned to question Mihiel, who was standing beside her with a blank expression.

“Are you sure there’s no mistake?”

“Not at all, this is the room prepared for you~”

As a Fallen Angel, Mihiel’s looks were top-class.

At the same time, as Lucifa’s subordinate, when it came to the etiquette of looking after an “outsider” like Tianyin, she was like a perfect maid, giving off a flawless impression.

However…

Even the most perfect Fallen Angel seemed capable of making mistakes sometimes.

“No, no, no, you must be mistaken, there is obviously someone inside!”

Tianyin had absolute faith in her own judgment.

The Seven Original Sins would not lie to her, and in her perception, Pride, one of the Seven Original Sins, was indeed inside this room.

“How could that be, guest, there is no one inside. I can guarantee it~ What is it, you don’t believe what I say as a Fallen Angel?”

As she spoke, Mihiel’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“This is not very good, guest. You know, when you don’t believe me like that, it means you are feeling guilty. In that case, even if Heavenly Father agreed to let my lord follow you back to save someone, for my lord’s safety, I will have to consider stopping that from happening…”

“Wait, wait, wait… it was just my imagination just now, there is no one in this room. Mm, this room is pretty nice, I will take this one.”

“Mm? Guest, did you not say there was someone inside? Why are you saying there is not now?”

“Ah… just my imagination, just my imagination, it was all in my head!”

“Oh my, so that is how it is. Then guest, you had better not have any more of those imaginations in the future… Mm, in that case, you can just sleep in this room tonight. Sweet dreams~”

‘Sweet dreams my ass!’

Tianyin silently complained, and there was no need to go into detail about what she was feeling inside.

By the time Tianyin’s mood had settled down, the Fallen Angel Mihiel who had brought her over was already far away.

“Ah… do I really have to go in?”

Tianyin muttered to herself.

However, when she thought it over carefully, even if Lucifa was inside, at worst it was just two girls sleeping together. It would be a little awkward, sure, but it did not really seem like that big of a deal.

She had no idea what was going on in that Mihiel woman’s head, but after thinking of it that way, Tianyin felt there was not really that much of a problem facing Lucifa next.

So, holding on to the thought that at worst it was just a girl and another girl sleeping together, Tianyin pushed open the door.

With a click, the sound of the door opening rang out, and in the next moment, Lucifa’s panicked voice followed.

“Y-You-You… why are you here…”

Lucifa, sitting on the bed in her pajamas, looked incredibly tense, and her big eyes were filled with fright.

“Mm… you might not believe me if I say this, but Mihiel is actually the one who brought me here…”

Just hearing Tianyin’s explanation, it already sounded flimsy.

After all, a lazy excuse that dumped everything on someone else like this looked as shoddy as an excuse could get.

However… What surprised Tianyin was that after hearing her explanation, Lucifa uncharacteristically went quiet.

“Muu… I-Is that so… Muu, I-I get it…”

She believed it.

What Tianyin could not quite believe was that Lucifa seemed to have actually believed that explanation.

“Eh… you are not going to suspect I am lying?”

Tianyin’s face was full of shock and doubt.

“Muu… I feel, I feel like you would not lie to me… Muu, I don’t know why I have that feeling, but I believe you… T-Tianyin…”

Lucifa stammered as she explained, and by the time she got to the last part, her little face had turned bright red.

“Eh… so you trust me this much…”

To be honest, Lucifa’s words warmed Tianyin’s heart for no particular reason.

After what had happened with Seles, this was also the first time that Tianyin had felt something called being moved by someone other than Samael.

“T-Then… um…”

While Tianyin was feeling deeply moved by Lucifa’s words, Lucifa, still on the bed, stretched out her pale, slender little hand and lightly patted the spot beside her.

“Tianyin… together… sleep together, Muu… s-sleep, sleep?”

She had to admit, Lucifa inviting her to sleep together while blushing like this was just too cute.

“Mm-hm… let’s sleep together~”

Although saying it like that felt a bit strange, since it was Lucifa’s invitation, Tianyin was not about to refuse.

Besides…

Girls sleeping together sounded like a perfectly normal thing, did it not?

Once she slipped into Lucifa’s blankets, Tianyin realized that because Lucifa had already been lying there beforehand, the futon was unexpectedly warm.

Not only that, the bedding still carried the faint fragrance that belonged only to a girl’s body, lingering from Lucifa.

Honestly, for Tianyin, two girls sharing a bed under the covers was something that happened all the time.

After all, Xiaobingxue and Xiaomengyao loved to burrow into her bed whenever they had nothing better to do, and sometimes even Sister Xiaomu would want to hug Tianyin to sleep.

Of course, for Tianyin, all of that had long since become completely normal, but for Lucifa this time, it seemed like this was a total first.

Not long after Tianyin lay down, Lucifa let out a small-animal-like whimper under the blankets, then curled up into a ball with her face reddening.

Not only that, even curled up into a ball, Lucifa was still secretly sneaking peeks at Tianyin with those big eyes.

“Honestly… go to sleep properly, Lucifa~”

Tianyin found it a bit funny. Why was this behavior so adorably dumb?

“Mm… I know… I know…”

Hearing Tianyin’s words, the shy little girl obediently closed her eyes.

In the next moment, the little girl with her eyes closed felt as if she had entered an embrace even warmer than the blankets.

“Muu…”

Letting out an unconscious whimper, Lucifa opened her eyes.

And what entered her sight was Tianyin’s adorable sleeping face, right in front of her.

“Little Lucifa, if we sleep hugging like this, you will sleep even better~”

Even though Tianyin’s own body was that of a loli, at this moment she was showing a never-before-seen big-sister style in front of another loli.

Looking at Tianyin’s unusually gentle expression before her, Lucifa could not help but let a smile appear at the corners of her lips.

“Mm.”

The little girl closed her eyes again and answered obediently.
